The frontiersmen who are pioneering
the pathway Of our American empire
across the Plains are just o reveling
in a carnival Of blood. Instead Of hunt
ing wolves, bufaloes and antelopes,
they secure q foothold for civilization
by the indiscriminate slaughter Of a
like bucks" helpless squaws and
sucking pappooscs. The butchery Of
an Indian tribe is nov the surest guar
antee Of popular applause in our from
tier cities, and he is most emphaticHlly
the cynosure Of every eye whose manly
form is decorated with the longest
string of aboriginal scalps. Is it, rs
claimed by the frontier press, naught
but mawkish s~cutimentality to question
the wisdom, justice and humanity Of
this condition OF affairs? Can no safe
~harborage for the ship Of state be found,
except in q sea Of blood? 1t has been
said, and we think truly, that no worse
use can DO made Of u man than to kill
him. A man may be little, if any, bet
ter than a brute, and his existence may
be of no practical use to himself, while
it is an injury to society, but the taking
Of the life, oven Of such men, is demoral-
izing and dchumanizing to those who
take it. The shedding Of blood
begets an appetite for bloodshed. The
perils and sufferings of frontiersmen
who are surrounded by uncivilized In
dams, are not to be moderated, but
neither their perils or suferings justify
tho butchery of the helpless and unof-
Tending. II our Government tolerates,
winks at or permits the policy Of exter-
minatiou which has been iuaugurated
and is boldly advocated, it will thereby
foster the growth of an element in the
body polite more brutal, more vicious,
more capable of mischief a thousand
fold than the exterminated Indians, in
the persons Of the extermiuators them
selves. The imperilled and suffering
frontiersmen arc entitled to and COM
mand the sympathy Of all good men,
and it is our duty, as well as the duty
Of the Government, to use every posi-
BILE effort to alleviate their sufferiugs,
But while we should use every effort te
protect them against barbarity, we
should be no less earnest in our endeav'
or to prevent their becoming %barbarians'
Exactly how to protect the people o
the frontiers, while We at the same time
treat the Indians as becomes the great.
est, freest, and most Christian of ma
tious, is q nice and intricate question,
but we are unwilling to admit that this
nation and this people arc incapable Of
graphing with and seusibly deciding it
One thing is certain, and that is that
humanity, civilization, and the honor o.
the nation, demand that the butchery
of women and children, no matter what
their race, color or condition, shall moi
only be frowned down but treated q:
murder.

REESE RIyRR 1rR,Is.

We clip the following from the Rspeilis
of the 10th (;
PALMETTO DIsrRIcr.-A former resi-
dent of Belmont writes to the Reporter
from the Palmetto District, that the
mines in that District are looking finely,
and that the Kentucky ledge owned BY
the Catherwood Company will ultimate
ly prove to be one of the best in the
State. Two shifts Of workmen are en-
ployed in the mine, and its develop
ments are OF the finest character. Be-
sides the Kentuck, the Company owns
several other lodges, among which the
Champion is conspicuous. Two i~nclines
have been sunk on the ledge, both of
which are nearly 300 feet deep. 1t is
producing daily from three to FIVE tons
Of fair ore. The Company is engaged
in building a ton-stamp mill for the re-
duction Of the ores obtained from the
Kentucky and Champion, and when it is
finished lively times are anticipated in
the District.
DrsrRlcr couRr.-Long before the
Court convened this morning, the room
and all its approaches were thronged.
AS soon as Judge Beatty took his seat,
the counsel for the defence presented an
affidavit respecting the conduct of q
certain Juror, and cited authorities in
support Of the motion for q new trial.
The District Attorney read counter afi-
davits from Baker and Bliss, concern
ing q conversation alleged to have taken
place between them while Baker was on
the jury. After o patient hearing, which
occupied several hours, Judge Beatty
oyerruled the motion for q new trial,
and sentenced the prisoner to be hanged,
| fixing the execution Of tho sentence for
the 18th day of July. Owing to the
| late hour at which the sentence was de-
livered, we must defer q particular ac-
count of the impressive scene until to-
morrow.
The above is very interesting and in
structiye, but would have been moro so
If tue name Of the prisoner or title of
the case had been mentioned. We pre-
sumo that II refers to the case of young
Anderson.
GoLD FROM Goose CREEK.-Yesterday
a small lot of gold from the Goose Greek
diggings, was brought into the city and
deposited. 1t contained 3S ounces,
worth $l2 IS on ounce, making the
whole value $4s4 SO. The gold was pro-
cured from q placer, but w did not
learn the anne Of the claim.
From tho Reueilk of the 18th:
Our FIRsr FIRE.-About half.past 10
o'clock last night tho city was alarmed
by the cry of FIRE, and shortly afterward
It was lighted up by the increasing
flames. The fire occurred in the three
story building known as Wattenberger's
Hotel, on Main street, between Pine
street and the junction of the grades.
The building was totally destroyed. 1t
belonged to A. Snodgrass, and was &C.
cupied as o boarding and lodging house
by a family named Landing. West Of
the hotel the following buildings were
partially burned and torn down !: q small
frame house, unknown owner two
adobe houses, with brick fronts, belong
ing to B. B. Stansberry ; q frame house,
occupied by Joseph Wear as the Austin
Laundry, and belonging to b. F. Hast
ings & Co., Of Virginia City, and three
small frame houses, belonging to un-
known owners.

How TO CURE CAScER.-A Milwaukee
paper states that some eight months
ago Mr.. T. B. Masor, Of this city, ascer-
tanned that he had o cancer on his face
the size of q pin. It was cut out by
DR.. Wolsott, and the wound partially
healed. Subsequently it grew again.
and while he was at Cincinnati on BUSH
ness, it attained the size Of q hickory
nut. He remained there since Christ
mas under treatment, and is now per-
fectly cured. The process is thus: q
piece Of stieking-plaster was put over
the cancer, with o circular piece cut out
Of the center a little larger than the
cancer, so that the lancer and o small
circular rim Of the healthy skin next to
it exposed. Then q plaster made OF
chloride Of zinc, blood root and wheat
-four, was spread on q piece Of muslin
the size Of this circular opening, and
applied to the cancer for twenty-four
hours. On removing it the cancer will
DO found burnt into and appear OF the
color and hardness Of an old shoe sole,
ana the circular rim outside of il will
appear white and parboiled as If scalded
by not steam. The wound Is now
dressed, and the outside rim soon separ-
ates and the cancer comes out In a hard
lump, when the place heals up. The
plaster kills the cancer SO that it slourhs
out like dead flesh, and never Grows in
again. The remedy was discovered by
DR.. Fell, of London, and has been used
by him for six or eight years with nm
falling success, and not . case has been
known of the re-appearauce Of the can
Ger when this remedy has been applied.

WI COUNTY ITRsIs.

From the Silver Bend Reporter Of the
18th;
NAN Shot AND KILLED.-0n Monday
evening at about half past 8 o'clock, o
man named Lawrence Clark, (familiarly
known MS "Charley,"O was shot and
MORALLY wounded by Robert Stcen,
Deputy Sheriff, who was endeavoring
to arrest him. Three shots were fred
by Steen, and each n took effect. The
shooting occurred on Main street and
two Of the balls after passing through
Clark went into the store of Tallman Il
Groves. Clark died about IL o'clock
A. N. yesterday, at DR.. Deals office, to
which place be was conveyed after
having been shot. Ho leaves o wife and
one or two children.
The following is the verdict of the
Coroner's jury:
We, the jury summoned to inquire
into the circumstances Of the death Of
Lawrence Clark, deceased, do find as
follows, to-wit: That the name of de-
ceased was Lawrence Clark, q native Of
New York, aged thirty-five years; that
he came to his death in the town Of Bel
mont, County of Nye, and State of Ne.
vada, about half past 8 o'clock P. N. Of
Monday, June 18th, 1868, from pistol
shot wounds inflicted at the hand of
Robert Steen, Deputy Sheriff of Nye
County, aforesaid, and that said Steen
fred said shot in necessary i defence,
and while in the discharge ST bis duty
as on officer.
SILVER BEND CouPASY's MINE.-Tho
Silver Bend Company had q lot of ore
lying upon their dump amounting in the
aggregate to near seventy-ive tons.
They concluded 1t might better be re-
duced and the metal It contained con-
verted into o marketable commodity
rather than lie there longer, and there
fore have commenced sending it to mill.
Eleven tons were crushed last Saturday
and gave q pulp assay Of $3.50 per ton.
The remainder will be worked this week
and the product will vary but little
from the figures given above.
COMBINATION MILL.-The batteries of
the Combination Mill were hung up on
Saturday, and the pans only have since
been running. The machinery is being
thoroughly o%verhauled, and all will
probably be ready for o new run on
Monday, when Mr.. Watson, we suppose,
will assume charge. We learn that the
past and present months runs have
been eminently successful ones. For
eleven days in June the bullion product
averaged full $4,000 daily. This is a
good run, and puts the Emersly-Da res
and other itinerants afflicted with an
unfortunate attack of "cacoethes scri-
bendi' In o sad plight. Try again,
young gentlemen, and see il you can't
do better next time. Pity, facts are
against you. So much the worse for
factsi

AMAaNIHIcEsr SPEcrAcLEs-The most
remarkable thing in the marine illumi-
nations on the arrival Of the Duke Of
Edinburgh in the harbor Of Sydney, was
q huge representation Of q fiery dragon.
The Australian Steam Navigation Com
pany's steamer Yanmba was inclosed on
both sides by transparencies, which
Termed o very striking and infinitely
accurate picture of the popular notion
Of q dragou-the eyes, scales, claws,
teeth, aud ears Of the monster all being
we'll proportioned and distinctly dis
oernible at o considerable distance.
The length Of the figure was one hum
dred and two feet, and the hight at the
head lin the bows Of the yessel) was
twenty-six feet. The jaws were about
sixteen feet long, and they were dis.
tended so as to leave an aperture for the
mouth of from six to seven feet. The
eyes Of the monster were very admira-
bly, represented, the shadings Of the
colors-green, black, and red-being
exceedingly effective. The tail consisted
Of twenty-five ships boats, over each or
which, from stem to stern, rows Of Lam
terms were hung. A number Of men,
inside the Yaamba, were stationed at
the bows, and as the monster moved
along It was made to spit forth a shower
of rockets and other descriptions Of
fireworks, while the boats astern made
IN immense display Of q similar charac-
ter. The vessel was towed by the At
lanta, but this was not p%erceiyable at q
distance. Three or four steamships and
q large number Of small boats, crowding
tho excursionists, escorted the serpent,
and the people loudly cheered its pro-
gress, as did also the occupants Of the
ships by which the monster glided.
