MILITARY TRANsFER.-From the Her
aid of last evening we learn from private let
tiers received by MAJOR La Motto that the
Second Regiment U. S. Infantry will soou
arrive in Montana and relieve the Thirteenth,
at present doing garrison duty here. The Of
fcers of the Thirteenth, on being relieved,
will proceed to Newport barracks, Kentucky,
and report to the Superintendent of Recruit
ing Service for orders. The men of the
Thirteenth will be transferred to the Second.
Gen. Burbank is the Colonel of the Second.
We regret to lose the society and acquain-
tance of so many OF the choice spirits and
rare gentlemen who have done credit to the
Old Thirteenth, but we congratulate them
upon being ordered to one of the most
delightful soldering countries in the States.
FROM a private letter received by
gentleman in this city, we learn that the
party who started for White Pine about the
4th Of February, suffered severely. W. Win
dus, an old man, was one of the party, and
not being able, pecuniary, to follow his more
fortunate companions and take the stage,
when entirely hemmed IN BY the snow, he had
20 walk from Pleasant Valley to the City of the
Saints and endured unspeakable suffering. He
f-oIe his face. Mr.. Bishof and wife, who were
in the same train, took Wells, Fargo & Co.'S.
coach, abandoning a good portion of their
outfit. Old man Wlndus had to leave evsry-
thing behind, not being able to carry more
than his instruments Nothing daunted,
however, when be came to Salt Lake he made
but a short stay and soon pushed on to the
new Eldorado.
MAJOR BRUCE, the veteran editor of
the Montana Democrat, did Us the honor of
a call yesterday and agitated our social ma
ture- The Major is, we presume, feeling the
public pulse and looking over the political
ground in view of coming events As the
Local may conclude 20 enter the race against
the Major during the summer campaign, he
does not desire to expose either his gait or
strong points, hence win leave the discussion
Of political questions to \ more fitting time,
and simply say that the visit was very agree
able to US and very pleasant TO the distin-
guished visitor.
