closing as follows " There must be no faint

immense Let us pursue the struggle without
ilinching, and the country will be saved"
METZ, August 7th-The moraLe of the troops
is excellent. 1t is impossible to give the exact
figures of our losses. That we may hold our
position here, it is necessary that Paris and
France should consent to great efforts of patriot

confidence but the trial is hard.

Emperor caused the utmost CONSERVATION.
The Liberte bids the people of France to rise
en- masse and repel the invaders.
The Journal 0G3cie5 says the defense of Paris
is assured 1t would require an army of 500, 900
to invest its fortifcations, while 30 900 could de-
fend them and there are troops enough now in

rison. These with sailors from the fleet which
could be procured, the Garde Rationale, the
Garde Municipale, and fremen, would make up
solid army Of 100, 900. Paris is free from

naH~Y...

The year Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-nine
Is among the things that. were. and to-day we
enter upon the beginning Of a new decade.
The old familiar face Of sixty gives way for
the more venerable seventy. with whom We
shall tread along the stream of Time for the
coming ten years.
Noera In the existence Of any nation was ever
filled to the brim with more strong and mo-
mentous events than that which came to an
end last night. 1t not only embraces period
OF one OF the most gigantic and remarkable
wars that ever reused the passions and the en-
ergies OF any country. but il includes a Pc
Rod of transition from the old world of ideas,
socially, morally, religiously and politically.
Ii has been n decade Of mental emancipation
from old beliefs, and the breaking up of an
cient systems Of thought. No country can
pass through terrible civil war without I'M
dergoing mental revolution as great as that
which aims at the overthrow of governmental
institutions. In this instance, the transition
has been accompanied by remarkable deyel-
oPment of natural resources, increase of pop
ulation, business, and wealth, which altogeth-
er have made the United States one of the
most formidable powers, in the " orld and an
Parently one of the most prosperous. How
FAR that pro sperity is substantial will be deter
mined very much by the events of the new
year. The portents are not altogether favor
able in the East. They seem to point to
great monetary crisis, near at hand. which
may show much to be shadow which We
thought to be substance. Nor is that mental
revolution, the disregard for the old land
marks and the ignoring of time-honored be-
liefs and principles which has characterized
the transition, altogether a matter of con-
graduation, Enthusiasts are pleased 10 call
the change progress, but it is questionable
whether generalization would not more cor
rectly define much Of 1t. The world moves
and we rejoice in the buoyancy of the motion :
Out II does not always move in the right d.
rechon to ensure safety or permanent pros
Penty. But whatever may be the fiuctua-
tons, fortunes and misfortunes of the great
centers of life and business beyond the noun
tains, we here in the Great Basin of the Inte-
NOR are independent to a greater extent than
any other section of the country. To us the
new year does not simply measure out another
term Of treadmill labor in an old monotonous,
hopeless rotation. Here we can look forward
with steady faith and hopeful anticipations to
the developments of the new year, to the
broad fields for energy and fortune which are
expanding with the rising of every sun. We
trust that our New Years greeting to all our
readers will be more than realized.

Government has appropriated money for their
use, to make them comfortable on reservations
and sustain them comfortably until they can

with most of them, though one important
band OF 200 has been removed, but they were
induced by the fact that part Of their band
had had two years experience on the reserya-
ton, and sent the principal chief along to
make favorable report. The principal OBJ

TO be the contumaciouspess of that old thief

THE ELK0 INDEPENDENT.
A cA.ns. Of Pro,r,,to,,


With this issue of the ISDxPExpEsr, one of
its founders and proprietors, Geo. G. Berry,
viii retire from its management and control,
and will be succeeded by II. C. Street, well
and faronbly known TO newspaper fame on
the Pacific coast, who. in connection with Mr..
Perkins. will continue its publication. The
hrst number Of the INDEPENDENT was pub
hshed on the 18th day of June last, Mt a time
when the thick mists of doubt aud uncertainty
hung heavy on the horizon Of the future Of
Elko. At that time there were but few who
had faith to believe in the splendid DESTINY
which conspiring events are unfolding for the
Queen City Of the Desert" as a commercial
emporium and inland center Of trade for the
Great American Basin. Before that time many
newspaper men, casting about for an eligible
point on the Central Pacific Railroad to found
their heads, shrugged their shoulders in doubt,
and pressed on to other fields which, in their
judgment, offered greater promise. With more
faith, however, than those wandering knights
Of the Quill, the proprietors of the IxDxpExD-
ESr resolved to pitch their tent upon the
TOWNSHIP Of Elko, and aid in silencing the
croakers and dispelling the doubts that were
hindering the growth and progress of the
young city. The success of the INDEPENDENT
OF course depended upon the success of the
town; and we are happy to be able to state
that the prosperity of both have exceeded by
far the estimates of our most sanpuine
friends. The citizens of Elko have shown
themselves worthy to wear the honors that
are in store for them in after times, as the
founders Of great commercial city, by the
liberal and generous patronage bestowed upon
the INDEPENDENT while laboring to advance
the Interests of the new town. The founders
OF the INDEPENDENT, like the founders o. Elko,
can look with gratified pride and serene salts
faction upon the result of their labors, and
pronounce them a complete and triumphant
success. There will be no material change in
the future course of the paper from the one
pursued in the past. Politically, it will be
Democratic at all times and under all circuni-
stances, when called upon to discuss State or
national issues; but it will not be the pur-
pose of the proprietors to load down their col
umns with ponderous leaders upon state-craft
to the exclusion of general news and mat
tiers Of local concern to the reading public. IL
will be the highest aim of the proprietors 10
make the ISDEPESDENT q newspaper in fact as
well as in name, and to furnish the general
reader, who desires to keep posted on the
march Of current events, a complete but con-
densed record of everything transporting on
every part of the habitable globe.
