REDUCTION OF THE ARMy.-0ne of the
consequences Of the re-admission OF
certain Of the Southern States-the re-
ductiou of the army-has followed the
reconstruction policy with marvellous
swiftness. The army Of the United
States has necessarily been kept up to
a considerable strength, in order to
maintain the national authority in the
States lately rebellious. With the
settlement Of irritating questions at the
South, and the institution Of response
BILE State governments, the control OF
the domestic institutions may be left to
the people of those portions of the
country. There is, therefore, no neces-
sity of keeping up the army to the pres
ent sire, 9Th. Prudence and economy
unite in the suggestion that it would
be better to reduce the rank and Gle
within such limits as are necessary for
any sudden emergency, and which will
be sufficient to insure tranquility upon
the plains and keep the Indians from
attacking trains and travellers. \ bill,
therefore, has been introduced which
will reduce the strength Of the army
nearly one-half, and in consequence
also reduce the military expenses of the
Government next year to an amount
approaching one-half the cost Of its
maintenance for 1868.

THE LIVE MAN.-Tho live man is like
n little pig, he is weaned young and be-
gins to root early.
He is the pepper sass of creation-the
all-spice of the world.
One live man in q village Is like O
case Of itch in o distrikt school-he sets
everybody tew skratchen at onst.
The live man IL az full Of bizzness az
the konductor Of o street car-he ia
often like q hornet, very bizzy, but
about what, the Lord only knows.
He lights up like o kotten faktory,
and hain't got any moro time than 9
skool boy haz Saturday afternoons.
He IL like a decoy duck, always above
water, and lives at least eighteen months
each year.
He IL like o runaway boss, he gets
the whole Of the road.
He trots when he walks, and lies
down at night only because everybody
else duz.
The live man il not always a deep
thinker; he jumps at conclusions just
az u frog duz, and don't alwauz land at
the spot he is lookin at.
He IL the American pet, a perfect
mystery tew foreners; but haz done
more with charcoal) tew work on the
greatness Of this country than emmy
other man in 1t.
He don't slwuz die ritch, but alwus
dies bizzy, and meets death a good deal
as an oyster DUE, without any fuss

CARSON CRY, July 10Th, 1868.
EDITOR News For the past few days
the weather has been particularly warm,
lone of US escaping the suns meridian
calls, in consequence Of which we Car
sonites were worked up into q fever
heat of about ll0o in the shade, and so
far Drs. Thompson and Tjader have
proved unavailing in reducing the pub
lie pulse or general fever. Some of our
citizens are fleeing to the mountains,
some to the Lakes, and some TO the
sage brush, but by mere accident have
found out a cure, u balm for the suffer-
ing, which will give speedily IL most re-
freshing relief. The medicine is kept
at the Magnolia. George has about
three tons on hand, besides the neces.
sary mixture attending the same. He
can reduce the rapid pulse OF 100 to
about 500 in the short space Of five min
utes. Dose Forty drops, and repeat
every ten minutes-sure cure or no pay.
Perhaps you have not heard of the very
odd occurrence which befel our friend
George, of the Magnolia. Well, he re-
tired one night this week rs usual, Sc
rene, cool and collected, and on the
following morning at 1918 A. NJ, his
nurse called to awaken him for his usual
breakfast, when, 10 and behold,

ARGESrIFERoUs.-The Wassons give
the following reason why they called
their new paper "The Winnemucea
Argent:
Nothing but an earthquake can blot out
or demolish Winnemucca Mountain, or Lake,
nor even destroy the fact that long since this
county and much Of the State-the bulk Of
the Great Basin, were the sole possessions
Of the Chief Winnemucca and his tribe Of
gentle savages." There is nothing inappro-
pirate in the Indian Specification Of the word
in this connection /; mot that we 4" love" Old
or Young Winnemucca ~"less," but their
name q vast deal "more"); and though a
little too long, the pronunciation Is easy
warranted not to injure the bronchial ma
chinery Of the most delicate. Argent ex-
presses the nature Of the leading mineral
production Of our mines, and is Of rather
beautiful Specification in all its applications.
When our items are quoted and credited
properly. our community gets an unmistaka-
Bile hearing. In brief, these reasons suggest
ed the name we have chosen.

LETTUCE, PRAy.-Seymour Pixley,
Esq, of Carson City, sent us by stage
this morning the largest head of butter
lettuce ever seen on the Comstock. II
was full twenty inches high from the
stem above the roots, and the mass Of
luscious, tender leaves would have filled
q half bushel. A little bouquet oil
sweet roses adorned the top. A glass
casket of superior French brandy, from
the 0rmsby House, accompanied the
lettuce-inteuded, perhaps, as a stand
of on George Gray's bouquet yester-
day. Thanks, Mr.. Pixley. 1--WE expect
John Wagner will send us a fat turkey
one Of these pleasant days.)

RATs-How TO FIN THEM.-Chloride
of lime has frequently proved a sure
thing TO drive rats from any place in
fected by them. An exchange says
An n Of it scattered in the place
where they come to feed, or wrapped in
muslin and put in their holes, where i.
acquires dampness, produces II gas that
is not offensive to man, but is to rats.
If chloride Of lime is moistened with
muriatic acid, and placed in IL drain,
vault or cellar, and closed from the air
q little while, the rats will depart, be-
cause it will be death to remain. This
is also a good disiufectaut, and will, for
a time, cure the efluvia Of a dead rat.
One application of chloride of lime to
rat holes has driven them away for a
year, when renewal started them again.

The overland communication between
San Francisco and the Atlantic seabonrd
is now so rapid that the steamer route
is left O week behind in the race. II is
stated that in the course of two months
letters will make the trip from sen to

quire sixteen days at present, while the
steamers seldom make the through run
in less than twenty-five days. The
average weekly receipts Of overland
letters is about $4,000. The business
men of California are aware Of the ad-
vantages of the route by rail and stage,
as is proved by q late mail sent by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Constitution,
which carried only 5000 letters, bein g
the smallest number sent from San
Francisco on any mail vessel for many
years past. But four months ago the
average number of letters sent by the
Panama steamer was not less than H.

tied, There are about five hundred
people here, and all hands at work in
the different mines which have been
discovered. have met many old friends
from Austin and vicinity, and think the
prospects of this district are very en-
c~ouraging. The quality of tho ores
which have been already worked is
something extraordinary. l have a
small specimen of horn silver on the
desk beside me which assays $4,000 TO
the ton, and / have seer many tons OF a
very rich quality. Of course | do not
suppose that all OF the ore here will
pay as well, but that is not bad for q
starter. New lodges are being discov-
cred every day; many of them Of the
richest description, aud everybody is
jubilaut aud sanguine Of making a pile
in o very short time. Business Of
every kind is brisk; whisky saloons are
plentiful, two or three faro banks ore
doing a thriving business, and prices Of
all kinds of goods aie high, although
not so high as might be expected. A
quartz mill will be erected here in
about ten days, two saw mills will go
up at once, and then w shall have a
chance of building up a town. The
majority of the inhabitants are living in
tents, and the town presents q very ami
mated appearance. At the present time
miners are sending their ores to Newark,
a distance Of thirty miles, to have them
worked at the mills, paying seventy
dollars per ton freight, and even then
they realize handsomely from it. White

Austin; two lines of stages are making
two trips a week between Austin and

OyE day last week n little child fell
into a cistern at Rochester, whilst its
mothers attention was temporarily
called from 1t. On missing it the
mother commenced searching tor it, and
in the curse of FIVE or six minutes
drew from the bottom of the cistern
her little one, to all appearances dead.
A physician was sent for, and be, after
three hours of unremitted labor over
the child, had the satisfaction of restOr'
ing vitality to the chilled frame. Con-
y%nisions followed the restoration OF
vitality, but they were soon checked,
and the child has fully recovered. The
plan pursued was wrapping the BODY IN

WARS THE UsE?-We cannot seri-
ously suppose that Mr.. Thaddeus Ste
vens expects that the House of Repre-
~sentatives will, with the experience Of
the last impeachment yet fresh in men,
DRY, make any further experiment in
that line. He has prepared his own
charges in his W way, in order to
make himself right upon the record,
and will make q speech to sustain them,
but beyond their being formally entered
in the Globe, il is not likely that much
will come out Of them. Congress is, in
fact, sick Of Washington. 1t is deter
mined to adjourn, because the weather
is hot, because the Presidential election
is to take place in the Fall, because the
members want to see their families, be-
cause some of them are candidates for
reelection, and because Of many other
things which impel them to scatter.
Very important measures, in which the
interests Of the country are involved,
have been postponed 10 order that Con-
gress may adjourn. With the potent
fact that Andrew Johnson remains at
Washington, and with the Inevitable
certainty that he will do whatever he
can to restore the supremacy Of the
rebel rule in the South, Congress is
willing and anxious to adjourn. These
things being notorious, it seems rs if
Mr.. Stevens impeachment is n work of
su~pererog"tion, and likely to lead to
nothing. 1t is a protest, and a strong
protest, but after all the experience we
