WHO Is THE ScoUNDREI. ?-Some i'll
fernal scoundrel or other has been sell
ing ~intoxicationg liquor to the Indians
of this vicinity lately, and We cordially
wish both for his aud their sakes that
he could only be squarely detected at
it. For the last three or four weeks
Indians have been seen more or less
intoxicated near Fort Homestead. and
about the Divide. They have rs yet
committed no depreciation or offence
rs the result Of their drinking, except
among themselves, the effect being
with them similar to what II l. with
the pale faces-they go home, raise a
row. tear down the campoody, smash
up the baskets and things, kick the
papooses about, thrash their squaws,
etc. A day or two ago we saw two
healthy looking warriors on the Divide,
so drunk that they could not possibly
stand up, tumbling and rolling about
in the road, with quite 4 crowd Of idle
men and boys laughing ut them. Their
Squaws were evidently in n state OF
great tribulation, andthc other ''bucks'
not in good humor. Now. in the name
of humanity and rs 4 white American
citizen, we protest against this rascally
violation of law, and call for the con-
yiction Of the heartless wretch who,
for the sake Of 4 few paltry pieces Of
silver, s~ells.these poor redskins liquor.
The detective who will bring the fell
low to justice will gain for himself not
only the gratitude of all good citizens
but will stand high in public estima-
ton everafter. The Piutes are 4 quiet
inoflensive people, and really a useful
and pleasing feature Of our population.
lie who makes them otherwise, raises
his hands against the community, and
the hand of every true man will be
against him. Verify, he will find his
reward. Who is the scoundrel?
IscoNsoLAnIE BENEDIcTs.-We went
to church in Virginia City, yesterday,
and we were truly astonished to see in
one pew such men as Col. Currie, EN-
Mayor Adams, George y. King and
X. L. Mullard, of Silver City. We
were also astonished to see how devo-
tional they had become all ut once.
On mentioning the matter, after church
was over. we were informed that their
wives had all left them, and gone East,
and that ever since they had become
almost ACKNOWLEDGMENT were now
seeking religion a a balm Of consola-
ton. Now, we rather approve Of it
and we are pleased to make the matter
known that a religious revival must be
close ut hand when such old sinners
come to repentance. We further learn
that they are having nightly exercises
rs bass singers $50 As to aStoniSh their
wives when they return from the East
and intend applying to be admitted
into the choir of some church. YER
ily, some astonishing things are being
revealed to mankind. (Ws believe

reformatory movement, and hope he
will be able to strike the niatch OIL
