A JUsr GRowL.-The TrUekee Tribune
says the people of that town are greatly
dissatisfied with being compelled to pay
taxes to Nevada County, without re-
ceiviug any benefits from the county
government. They cannot so out Of
the town in any direction without hav-
ing 20 pay toll-not even across the
river to get their FIRE wood, without
crossing a toll bridge, and the only evil
denee they seem to have that they W
allegiance to Nevada County, is the
presence of a tax and license collector,
and a Justice of the Peace and a Con-
stable. The county does not expend q
dollar there, either for road, pest house,
or anything else. The case does seem
a hard one, that's a fact, and the Tri-
6une is right in growing. But their
Legislature will meet next winter, and
if we were at Truckee we should GER
tainly get the people of the Truckee
region to apply for the creation Of a
new county out Of Nevada and Placer
who have plenty Of territory to spare
for that purpose.

GOLD Hill PUBLIC ScHooLs.-We had
the pleasure of accompanying Rev. A.
N. Fisher, State Superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction, Judge Whitcher, County
Superintendent, n. A. II. Ball, Captain
Hopkins, and Col. John A. Collins, on
a visit to the Gold Hill Public Schools
to-day. The party first visited the Pri-
mary School, which we found to contain
between forty and fifty scholars, under
the charge Of Miss Ellen Webb. The
scholars were put through a brief
course of examination, which proved
highly interesting and satisfactory to
the gentlemen composing the board of
Hammers. The next one visited wa,
the intermediate School, under the care
of Miss Mary E. Howe. This school
contains Fifty scholars, boys and girls,
nearly all Of whom showed most excel
lent advancement m the various
branches Of education appropriate to
intermediate department. We witnessed
in this school the finest calisthenic ex-
e~rcises we ever saw. The reading,
spelling, and vocal exercises of the
scholars are highly creditable to
them, and show very plainly that
Miss Howe is a most excellent teacher.
while the scholars were going through
their calesthenic exercises, DR.. Zabris-
kis ame into the school, expecting
that some Of the scholars might possibly
need vaccination but when he saw the
muscle and neryo exercise which all Of
them displayed, he left %instanter, SIM
ply re%marking that scholars who were
as muscular rs they were, needed no
vaccination from him y The examiners
next visited the Grammar School, I'M
der the care of Miss Fanny S. Howe,
containing Fifty scholars, young ladies
and lads. The exercises here were
quite intsresting-and Miss Howe is
evidently up to the requirements of her
position. The other Gold Hill school
is located on the Divide, which the
examiners have visited, but we did not
have the time to spare to accompany
them. We are much pleased with our
public schools-and we would suggest
that our citizens, and especially the
parents Of the scholars, occasionally
visit the schools, and listen to the ex-
e~rcises. Teachers and scholars would
both be encouraged, and parents would
be gratiied in seeing their children ac-
curing a good education to make them
useful and good members of commuui-
ty when they grow up.

OK VIsIr.-Messrs Potter and Bur-
lingame, of the Assembly, came up to
Gold Hill yesterday on q visit. We saw
and talked with them regarding the
Railroad bill, of which we made mention
in the NEws last Saturday. They say
that their only opposition to the bill is,
that it needs amending, and that they
were unwilling tie vote for it without it
being amended ; and the amendments
which they deemed necessary were: one
establishing a rate Of charges for pas
senger fare and freight ; and also COM
polling the railroad company to extend
the road to Reno by way of Ormsby and
Washoe Counties. The estimated cost
of the road from Virginia City to Reno,
by the route designated, is $4,000, 900.
Now, IRE do not object to the first
amendment, if it can be done consist
emily as to the rates Of tariif-but to en-
force tho second one, compelling the
completion of the railroad now to Reno,
as a condition Of the issuance Of the
Storey County bonds, it is decidedly
~imprudcnt and ~prssumptious.

n INDIAN A

Accounts from the West show that
there is hope that the recent fight be-
tween Custer and Black Kettle has had
a good effect upon the Indians Of the
plains. The consequence has been that
tho hostile tribes have been in some
measure compelled, by that occurrence,
to separate themselves from tue friendly
Indians, and that there will be no diff
Guilty in distinguishing between the
sheep and the goats. General Hazen
has been able to single out the unfriend-
ly ssvagcs, and he only waits for REIN
forcements in order to bring matters
against them to II definite conclusion
General Sheridan believes that there
never will be peace with the Indians
until two OF the leading chiefs are
killed. The fact that orders should be
given to the troops to kill these Indians
sounds rather shocking, and will, no
DOUBT, stimulate u frieuds OF Inc feace
Society to the utterance ofloud lament
alton at the frightful depravity Of the
army. We presume, however, that
General Sherman understands exactly
the nature of the foe with which he has
to deal. His business is to insure a
permanent peace. He believes that it
will be impossible to gain it as long as
these Indian Chiefs, who possess great
influence, and who exert it against the
whites, are at liberty to carry out their
purposes of mischief, plumber and re-
vsnge. 1t might not have been judi
cious for Sherman to have said so; but
having said so, he is at least entitled to
credit for his frankness.

How SMALLPOX Is CIRCULATED. -
One day last week a man went into the
stage office in this place and asked if he
could be Immediately sent to Virginia,
saying his business was urgent. The
agent told him the regular hour for the
stage to leave was 4 P. NJ, and that he
could not send him before that time.
Looking closer at the man, he noticed
his face was badly broken out, and
asked him if no had not the smallpox.
The man answered that he had not,
and told the name Of physician who had
examined him at Argenta, p~ronouncing
him free from the disease. He remained
In the stage Office until the agent told
him he was sorry to have to do it, but
that he should havo TO insist upon bis
leaving the Office, rs he, the agent,
feared it was really the small
pox cropping out on the mans counte-
nance. With this the stranger went
out, crossed the street to Pollard 4
Mitchell's stable, and asked for n horse
and buggy, and a driver, to take him to
Virginia. Mr.. Mitchell, who happened
to be present, asked him if hc had not
the smallpox. The man repeated his
Argent doctor story, and Mitchell sent
him with n driver to Virginia. Arriving
there, Immediately proceeded to call
upon a physician with whom he was &C
quainted. Going in, the doctor looked
up and said Hello =, you have
got the smallpox, have you ~ eyes,
answered the man, "T have got it the
d--dest kind, and have had HI to get
hero" About this time Mitchell's
driver left. Is it strange that smallpox

UNsExING WoMAN.-The Ma

fUNSEAlNG VOMANs-AuO Nd
tional Intelligencer has an elO-
quent article on the detestable
agitation of the day about giving
the ballot to women, from which
we make the following extract:
"They can be considered moth
'ingbut invaders of domestic peace
meters to social disorder, violence,
and discord, who seek to draw
woman from her appointed and
supremely exalted sphere of home,
as the guardian angel of the worlds
inner life, and plunge. her, with
her UNNECESSARILY fine and femi-
nine sensibilities. in the coarse
and Earring throng of masculine
public life. The times on which
we have fallen are all unhinged.
The same fanaticism which has
overthrow, or is oyerthrowing,
the order and good government of
the State, in its restlessness under
the wholesome restraints every
thing conservative and settled, is
striving also to overthrow the or
der and good government of the
freside; aud as in the former case
the larger liberty of man is plead
ed as the propel1ing motive, and
jim justification, so in the latter case
the large liberty of woman is
pleaded, linked with a thousand
unntNmed yet fancied benefits that
would accrue to her, and through
her to mankind. Any man with
a properly organized mind, and
who is ca ,pable of calm and philo-
sophical re lection on the nature
and the province of the two sexes,
and how they stand at the anti
podes, one Of strength and the
other of tenderness, cannot but
condemn the teno ency, as here in
Dictated, of fanatic.I and unbal-
aneed natures; and every woman,
endowed as Heaven Neant she
should be, in whose being beats a
sense of almost superhum& n ele-
walton, and who feels, as she Oh, ght,
that it is her high and paramoL' IT
prerogative to create the social
realm, and rule it by the power
and the purity of the heart, must
shrink, with instructive and wo-
manly dread, at the bare thought
of so uusexing herself, and cast
ing aside all that makes her bet
ter than men, as to enter the low
public and political arena of men,
and participate in it's wrangles,
its low ambitions, its corruptiOns,
and it's debasing influences. She
could not but feel herself profaned.
Once there, she would feel herself
an outcast, and look back upon
the sweet dominion which she had
left, where she sat unsullied,s lift
ed up and pure, as our first pa
rents did when exiled from the
Garden of Eden for yielding to
the tempter, and never restored
to that peaceful Eden again."
