RAILROAD. From a friend who accompanied
the committee of stockholders of tho Orange
and Alexandria Railroad Company on their late
touro inspection over their entire line, we
have the following items connected with the
trip. With a glorious sky above and a smooth
track beneath, the special train bearing the
committee, the President, and Superintendent
of the road and some invited guests, steamed
out of the Lynchburg depot on last Wednesday
morning. There were nearly 800 miles of track
to inspect, requiring four days time, so that
provisions for the creature comforts ofthe party
were spread on long table mounted along the
backs Of the seats Owing to the arduous ma;
ture of the service and the peculiarly dry and
bracing atmosphere of the country, this ar
rangement proved to be one of the utmost
utility. After most satisfactory Inspections OF
all the bridges and stations, the committee res
ted from their first day S work, at the Waverly
House, at CuIpeper G. H., where were assem-
bled 10 meet them the bar and members OF the
court then in session at that place. The sub
iect Of the Lyrchburg and Danville extension
was freely discussed, and toasts drank to its
success with greatenthusiasm. Theinspection
extended over the main line Of the Manassas
branch up to the head of the track, about five
miles from llarrisonburg, and over some OF the
finest tressel work in America. ..i. .@.t
The means OF this most enterprising COM
pauy not being sufficient to rebuild, in per-
manent manner, the bridges destroyed during
the war, their Chief Engineer, Mr.. II. W.
Vandegriff, has substituted tressel work, reach
ing, in some cases, to heighth of one hundred
and twelve feet. Though high, and apparently
slight, as these structures are, their strength
and Stiffness has proved amply sufficient. Ten
years good service may be safely expected from
them, while the first cost is not over one-half
that of permanent works. '''.''' 49, =

THE TICKET.

The arduous labors incident to the drudg-
cry of reporting, unfit the editor for any
brilliant efforts at the late hours of after
the Convention" Suffice it to say that the
representatives of the Union party yesterday
worked hard and well to place ticket in the
field which should satisfy the loyalists of
Nevada, and which, with consistency and a
good show of success might be placed in OPP
position to the ticket nominated by the De-
mocracy. We think that the party will ac-
cord a hearty ratification to the work which
has been done. With one unworthy excep-
ton which it is needless for the writer to
specify, the ticket is entirely excellent from
first to last. 1t is calculated to arouse the
fighting energies of the party and go along
evenly in the glorious race which has for its
goal the triumph in Nevada of Grant and
Colfax.

SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.


From the Enterprise Of yesterday.
SAN Francisco, September Is. The
Union State Central and County Committee
have Jointly determined to fire salute Of
200 guns, this evening, in honor o the Re-
publican victory in Maine.
A large and enthusiastic Republican meet
ing was held in the Eleventh Ward last eve

lev and r. Guy Nee lellan.
The grand Democratic meeting under the
auspices of the Young Mems Democratic
Club, for which the most extensive prepare
tions had been made, took place at Plat.
Hail last evening. The meeting was largel,
attended, and Mr.. Axtell was warmly re-
ceived. He made lengthy speech, which
was mainly confined to eulogies upon Mr..
Seymour. After the meeting closed, tho
audience formed in process sion, and paraded
the street with torchlights and Transparent
ces. Altogether, the demonstration fell be-
low what was anticipated by all parties.
The Democrats have decided to take the
nomination OF candidates for municipal Of
fees from the people, and make nominations
through delegates chosen By themselves.
bet was made last evening of 81 900

the Western acitc and Southern Pacific
Railroads, and described in the maps as fol-
lows Flret-Ihe termination and 20 mile
limits of that part Of the Western Pacih:
assignees Of the Central Pacific completed /;
secoud-the 90 and p mile limits of the I'M
completed portion /; and, third-the rermina
tion limits, as par Secretaiy's decision. Of
the southern Pacific Railroad. None of
the lands within that limit have been pro-
claimed for sale, and therefore the Iestora-
ton will be to entry under the presumption
and homestead laws. Notice is to be given
for at least thirty days.

Too MUCH OF IT.-There are now con-
fued in this county Jail no less than three
persons ON the charge of murder in the first
degree, one of whom has been tried, con-
vic.ed, and sentenced to die. There has
scarcely been a term of our District Court
in which some capital ofense, generally
murder. has not been tried. 1t is notorious
that while venial offenses are of compare
lively rare occurrence, those of the capital
class are more frequent than in any other
county in the State. The charge of petty
larceny is seldom made in either county or
city drunkenness, disturbances, and rows
are more rare, We believe, than in any other
city of equal population on this coast -
and Jet the community is too frequently
>hocked BY the preparation OF some mon
s,Io1S crime. Is it not so /: And what is
the cause of this anomalous condition of
thil5ss TIE petty taief and the wretched,
drunken b:wler, are condemned while the
great cFimiDais-the assas>ins and murderers
ire Invested with a sort of heroism and
excite the lively sympathies of considera-
bic part. of the people. Human life-the
most ines.i nable of gifts-is held too cheap
". Every trial for murder tends to demon
al,ze the community in which IT occurs. III
any one doubts this let him attend the first
,Iial of that kind which may take place and
Judge for hi nseif the extent to which the
community is dehauchcd hy the ingenious
logic and subtle artihce which he will hear
in defense of abe right to take HE. Public

A GENERAL INDIAN WAR.-Gentlemen Of

A GENERAL INDIAN WAR.-Gentlemen Of
official prominence say that there is danger
of a general war on the western and south
western frotiers and that it will be inevitable
unless great prudence be exercised by the
military. If measures other than prudential
ones be not taken, and if an indiscriminats
onslaught on the Indians be commenced,
there is reason to fear, from the known spirit
of the army. that there will be disastrous
war of indefinite continuance, drawing into
its vortex thousands of Indians now at peace
with the United States, and, besides the cost
of lives, involving the Government in the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars. The pres
ent difficulties originated with less than two
hundred and fifty of the Cheyennes, Arapa-
hoes and Sioux. They are called the Dog
Soldiers, are young men, and started for Ne
braska to punish their hereditary enemies,
the Pawnees. Passing through the inter-
mediate country they committed the muir
ders and other outrages to which publicity
has already been given; acting in this way,
not only against treaty obligations, but con-
trary to the wishes of the confederated ma
ton to which they belong.-IVash. Chron

\ SINGULAR DIsTBICT. The Robinson
district, which is situated about - miles due
east from the district of White Pine, presents
many singular features in its mineral depos-
its. II has been only partially explored since
its discovery, but 1t is supposed TO contain
very valuable property. The veins or depos-
its occur in pprphyry, syenite and limestone.
Veins were observed in which the gangue was
iuor spar. In one of these, about eighteen
inches thick, large cubes Of galena were in
terspersed through the fuor spar: The ga
lena contains silver, but in.Bhat proportion
has not yet been ctested. On another hill
there is an immense ledge, as It, is charac-
terized in the district, named the Rio Grands,
which was stepped off and found to be 500
wide. The great deposit appeared to be q
mass of copper ore, and nearly every bowl
der and irregular shaped piece picked up
showed the native metal. Fluor spar is be-
lieved to exist in great abundance in the
district, and as il is the most valuable fux
used in the reduction of copper and other
ores, its occurrence will enhance the proper
ty Of the district. Apart from the presence
of ores Of silver, copper, and lead. the dis
trict contains extensive belts of fine timber,
and the prospectors have already discovered
substantial sources of water. 1t embraces
within its boundaries and is surrounded BY
large tracts of valuable land. The Robinson
district Will be about 100 miles south of the
line of the Central Pacific rairoad.-R. X.
