matter of qualification to all to know that an ad-
ditiona effort is to be made the part of the
military authorities to rid this portion of the
State of the murderous band who have killed so
many of our citizens and destroyed so much
property. Our people have just said " let US
have peace y at the ballot-box, and they want
and mean to have peace from further outrag &C
and loss at the hands of these red-handed dew
ills. They are in condition of want now, hav-
ing recently been deprived of their accumulated
plumber and if while people guard their
homes the authorities will pursue and KILL this
murderous band of " Yukas," all will oe well.
Let them not, if overtaken, be fed and fostered
on any Reservation until spring-time returns,
then again to seek their old haunts and renew
their murderous work. Capt Pollock is assured
that it will afford US great pleasure to chronicle
the fact that every devil of them has been sent
to the happy hunting grounds" Kill them

DEATH FROM LOCK -JAw-The San Mateo
Gazette relates the following:
We learn of a remarkable case of lock Jaw
which occurred at Mayfeld on Monday last.
A little son of L. W. Wischart, aged eleven
years, some two weeks ago accidentally run
one of the tines of an old rusty pitchfork in
his foot, between the little toe and the third
toe. TIE wound was slight and healed up
in few days, and only kept the lad from
school day or two On Friday of last week
the boy complained that he could not swal
low, and of a stiffness about the neck. Later
in the day, the boy was taken with convul
sions, when DIR. Gras of Mayfeld, was called
to his assistance, when it was ascertaineJ
that lockjaw had taken place. On Saturday
DR.. kirkpatrick, of this place, was called in
and applied all known remedies, but failed
to afford only temporary relief. Tie boy
fingered in this distressing condition unit
Monday morning when death relieved him o.
his suffering. What renders the case SC
singular is the fact, that the wound had
been healed whole week aud no soreness,
remained at the time the boy was taken witt
the lock jaw. Mr.. Wischart has the sym
pathy of his many friends in this vicinity, a.
we'll as in Mavfeld.

than the point where the road on this side
crosses the summit Of the Sierras. From
Evans Pass to Salt Lake is something over
five hundred miles. Before the close of the

REcossrRucrIox.- South Carolina and

REcoNsTRUcTIoN.- South Carolina and
Arkansas have adopted new Constitutions,
in accordance with the requirements of Con.
gress, by large majorities. These States, so
loug cursed by Shareholders rule, are at last
emerging from the shadow of prejudice and
sectionalism, into the sunlight of Freedom.
Republicanism reigns victorious over these
States, consecrated to liberty by the blood
of the Union martyrs who sleep beneath their
soil, and henceforth law, justice and freedom
will sit triumphant in the temples once pol.
luted by the presence of the upholders and
apologists of human slavery. Other Southern
States will probably soon follow the example
of South Carolina and Arkansas, and but a
short time will elapse before all the States
lately in rebellion will be restored to the
Union fold, and the advocates of secession
retire before the just indignation of a united
harmonious and prosperous nation.

them in relation to certain letters which the
latter had written to the mother in law of
Jones' Henson denied that he had written
anything insulting to the lady, and Jones
affirmed that he bad, and made motion as
if to strike Henson with shovel, which he
held in his hand. Henson then picked up a
board and approached Jones, who struck him
on the head several times with the shovel
The blows knocked Henson down, but he
recovered sufficiently to be able to walk about
for short time, but finally became faint and
was obliged to lie down. He fingered until
midnight, when he expired. Coroner Lynch

The GREEN EYED MoNsTER--Some months
ago blooming lass took up her residence in
this village, and her captivating charms soon
enamored the susceptible of heart of one of
our oldest residents, known as Chicken
George" Our hero's love dream was
darkened, however, by the advent, few
weeks ago, of rival, rejoicing in the posses
sion of frizzled hair, pretty mustache, kid
gloves and rattan cane. He who had but
lately reveled in love and blissful anticipa-
tions, was now the victim of doubt, and the
green eyed monster took possession of his
palpitating buzzum." Concealing himself
under rose bush, OH Sunday evening, he
beheld lis Dulcnea and his rival, at the front
gate of her residence, indulging, as he sup
posed, in expressions of love and endear-
ment. This scene was too much for our
uEon an innocent pullet, with one fell swoop
he pounced upon his inspecting rival, and
scrimmage" ensued. The lady fled into
the house. George says he whipped his rival
badly. In describing the affair he says :
81 bees afraid he has bistol, so / catch
hold of his hands and holds em down, and
byme by l runs out of tie gate like hell"
Georges coat and white vest were torn in
the scrimmage, and he lost his hat, while he
succeeded in inaicting slight scratch upon
his rivals face. George was so much afraid
of apain meeting the San Francisco gantIe
man and whipping him, that he insisted
upon Constable Holton going home with him.
All is now quiet on High street, but George
wishes it distinctly understood that he'll
stand no nonsense where his affections are
concerned.
