The Montana post., 1868-12-04

We are full of hope that the disasters that have
befell our Territory in the past, such as pre-
mature frosts and grasshoppers. may not come
again, and that this broad garden of Montana
may be bountIfully fruitful and the hearts CT
its people be made exceedingly glad.
ARRIVED, by last nights coach, Juuius
w. Sanders, Esq., and wife, to be welcomed
by a host of friends who note with pleasure
the bright blossoms health has showered upon
them. Resisting the classics of Boston, the
fashions OF New York, the thousand bewilder-
ing spells and aIluring pleasures of Eastern
lands, and benediction from A Jonson
Esq, n love of home among these grand old
mountains has won them back to rejoicing
friends and loved ones. You are right welcome.
BY the same coach arrived Mrs. Comfort wife
of Mr.. Comfort, the respected pastor of-the
NJ. E. Church of this city, a stranger to our
land, may the generous welcome of our peo-
pie warm her heart toward life among these
rugged hills, where friendships are like our
mountain springs spontaneous, clear and
sparkling.
VIRGINIA CITY ITEMs.-From the
Democrat we learn that the streets were
cleaned by the Mayor and Judge Ptomy,
who were seconded by the citizens. The
purse of fifteen hundred dollars that was sto-
len at the Clasby House, has been found.
Officer Williams displayed much skill a de-
tective in the successful prosecution of the
search . The weather in Virginia is enchant-
ing, and the town is illed with strangers.
BILLY BAY-This animal serves as an
illustration of what can be made the result
of practice. We saw him perform all the
tricks that made the "'Pinto' celebrated in
the Territory. He will be drawn in a rafle in
n short time. A few more tickets are to be
disposed of, after which the rafie will take
place, of which sufficient notice will be given.
PERsoNAL.-Dr. Mitchell, member of
the Legislature from Deer Lodge, favored us
with call this morning. We are glad to see
the Doctor locking we'll, hearty, and thor
oughly able, both physically and meutally, to
dip into legislative labOrs and the great work
of renovation in the laws of the Territory.
PURCHAsE.-W. 5. Travis, ESQ, has
purchased from C. Ii. Dahler, Esq, the resi-
dence formerly occupied by Mr.. Thomas fol-
$500 in currency. This is certainly a bar
gain. Mr.. Travis contemplates making i'm
portnnt additions and improvements thereto
in the spring.
BUSINESS CHANGE.-Zeigler Bros. have
purchased the interest of II. Powers in the
Crockery, Glass, Queensware and China busi-
ness, and contemplate removing the stock to
their old stand, corner Main aud Bridge
streets. We commend the new proprietors to
the public.
J. :. KICKER, who has for a season
been confined to bed by illness, is, we are glad
to learn, able to be again out on the street.

CAYCsE GULCH.-Thus named is one
Of the tributaries Of Ophir Gulch situated
some four miles above Blackfoot. The dis
covery of gold was made in it last summer
by Messrs libby, Brinton d Belcher, but the
ground was not fairly opened until October
last when David Johns and party obtained one
thousand dollars from space fifteen by TWEEN

coarse and heavy, one nugget weighing
eighty-one dollars and three or four Others
weighing from thirty-fve to forty dollars
being secured. This gulch is supposed to be
the main source of gold supplied to 0phir
gulch, and those interested in il are sanguIne
of rich results nexs season. Twenty-One
claims have been staked, but not over third
of them have yet been worked, the supply of
water being scarce. 1t is thought that these
mines will supply about forty men next sum

Details OF the Battle at Oshiu- siracawa
"A TyphOOn at YOkOha anna.

On the I'd day of japanese month (2lst day OF

between the troops of the South and those OF

nearly 400 of their killed having been removed
side were those of Satsuma, Todo Nabo-
sima, | Ramon no kami. The last named
Prince is the descendant Of the Regent who WAS
murdered on his way to the Tycoons palace by
the men OF hitOs clan in 1860. The present
Prince was always faithful TO the Tycoon, until
Stotsbashi became invested with the dignity.
In the battle OF FusIma and Osaka 1t will be
remembered that one of the Tycoon's Generals
Todo Isume, went over with his retainers TO the
enemy, thus betraying the Tycoon's cause and
losing the battle. This was the retainer of
Kamcn no kami, who thus took revenge on the
adopted son OF Mito. In the battle OF Oshiu-
siracawa this Prince faltered again, and
refused TO fight against the TokueaWa; but
be has now rendered himself an object of con.
tempt To both sides. The Princes Of Tokugawa
will not have him, and II, as is pretty
certain, they gain the day, his family
will be wiped out OF remembrance except as q
by-wOrd and Kissing. One incident of the
battle reminds us iorcibly of the exploits of the
knights OF the olden time. At the commence
ment of the fight, Aidzu transp Irted With ex-
element and fury, was so eager for the fray
that his men became perfectly enraptured with
HIM. and cheered him to such an extent that be
set his horse at full speed and dashed into the
enemy's ranks, who, seeing him come thus des-
perately, gave way and retreatei all around.

from the NeD Orleans Republican, Aug. ~.
From q letter dated at M,ndes, Claiborne

day previous, Tuesday, the 18Th inst, a duel was
fought at Overton between Robert s. LIE wis and
G. B. Pratt, Democratic member OF the House
of Representatlves, who was absent from the
Legislature on special leave. The parties fought
with pistols, and on the second ire Mr.. Pratt
was painfully wounded in the side, just above
the hip, from the effects of which he was disa-
bled and confined to his bed. MIR. Lewis was
not hit.
The duel arose from political causes. Mr..
Pratt, 10 his place In tbe House OF Representa-
tives, on the Oath OF July, having assailed the
reputation of Mr.. John l.. Lewis, father of the
challenging party, Robert 8. Lewis, the son, not

not few oaths, until the curtain finally rolled
up and disclosed standing upon the platform

was one upon each side of the stage; between
them was manager, or some other sort OF an
officer. With grave flourish In the spread-eagle

and "Young Brady" both of PhIladelphta.
Now our men "set-to." They pummeled each

lunged, and struck. They gave and took In

at liberty to be used-that he was waiting for
the arrivsl of two gentlemen" whom he had
expected to be on hand. No one volunteered.
They couldn't see it.
The pause was then filled up by an old fellow
named "Dad Devices" who gave an Irish jig
and turned o number of somersaults. A "lttle
piece OF poetry, named the "Pen aud the

OF its lines being rendered, "The (b)ends OF the

Several other couples had bouts with the nit
tens-when the recipient Of the benefit himself,
the famed 'Jem Ward" made his appearance
upon the platform. He fought three rounds
with q mere lad, his grandson, and displayed no

pointed the expectations OF the greater portion
of his audience.

Bold Attempt at Robbery on Third Street
This morning most daring attempt was made
to commit robbery on one of our most promt-
nent thoroughiares, and at an hour when mer-
chants were repairing to their places of busi-
ness. The time was about quarter after nine
National Bank, OF Third street. about midway
between Market and Cbe,nut street. It was Just
at the time that the bankers and brokers obtain
their boxes containing their cash from the
Bank.
John o. Taxis, q lad sixteen years of age, in
the employ of Frederick Steeb, No. South
Third street, had repaired 10 the bank and got
the box belonging to that gentleman. he was
just making his exit from the alley on to Third
street, when he was cracked over the head by
black. lack and knocked to the pavement, the
box fortunately falling underneath him. He
then raised the cry of murder and arose, hold
ing on to the treasure. An attempt was then
made to take 1t from him, but he fought man.
fully, all the time yelling at the top Of his voice.
His cries attracted the attention of passers-by,
who hocked to the scene. Tayts says that he
managed to get out of the alley, when two men
jumped into a carriage that was standing in
front of the alley, and drove off. While on its
shafts. The crowd followed after the vehicle,
which went up Third street to Market, out
Market street to Sixth, up Sixth street to Arch,
and out that thoroughfarc. Young Taxis also
ran up Third street to the office OF MIR. Steeb,
where he threw his box, and then pursued the
carriage.
Notwithstanding the wagon passed along these
much frequented Streets with mob following,
the scamps succeeded in making their escape.
Thus failed one Of the desperate attempts that
has been frequently resorted to In New York by
villains to obtain money, and it seems little
should escape, though they passed several
DOllcemen on the WaY.

A VOICE FROM THE TOOMBS.
"GeOrgia's Most Gifted Son" ProcIaims
Grant a Liar and a Traitor

AT a Seymour and Bidr meeting held in Polk
county, Georgia, on the 25th of August, the
President announced "Georgia's most gifted
son." Robert Toombs.
Mr.. Toombs SAID that he was prouder than
ever OF his native State, for her people, though
the victims OF untold suffering, and after having
been tried in the fires OF the past, still retain
their nobleness of race and devotion to prin-
ciple. The unwav,rlng stand taken by the
people of Georgia had sent dismay into the
ranks of the enemy, who, feeling their hold of
power slipping from their grasp, gnash their
teeth in impotent rage; driven from their
stIoI gholds and feeling that their days are
numbered, they cry they hear the tocsiu of
OF ans assrs ns tor peaes @ Hs TSe

Is an easier way OF disposing OF this radical
party than resort to war. Peace must come,
but the country can accept no peace In chains.

vowing 10 put down these common enemies Of
mankind. They have announced a platform
upon which all can stand. Mr.. Toombs then
proceeded 10 prove by citations from history
tDat the fall OF nations had been preceded by
Just such lapses of virtues in the people as pre-
faced the war of the States. He then traced out
he road to and prosperity In brief
degradation of that chieftain, in that he
had been proven liar, while member
of Johnson's Cabinet, by five OF his coll
leagues. He is a confessed traitor, for he said
he went into the councils of Mr.. johnson
for that purpose. Mr.. Toombs, however,
was disposed TO think that Grant had lied upon
himself when he made the confession; it was lie
the second TO get out of lie the 6rst. Mr..
Toombs, while denounciDg unsparingly those
men who had proessed such devotion to the
Sou,h and the Confederate cause until her for
tunes began to wane. made no attack upon that
respectable class of Union men who had sup
ported the reconstruction measures for the
purpose OF getting back into the Union. He
claimed that such men of all others, should sup
port Seymour and Blair, avowed and uncom-
separate such Union men from the Democracy
now, whatever might have been the difference
in the past.
