Bullock Resigns,

Gov. Bullock, OF Georgia, one of the kings
OF the southern thieves and scalawags, hav-
ing failed, by the aid of the bayonet power
to enforce a republican victory at the last
election in that state, finds the prospect of a
democratic Legislature and a consequent i'm
parchment, Sc discouraglng that he prefers to
resign. The Augusta Chronicle thus explains
the Governors position
The almost immediate assemblage of the leg
islsture, composed, it is of large majority Of
honest upright men, who are determined to
have thorouS Oh ventilation and exposure of the
monstrous villainies of Bullock's administration,
has. no doubt, been the controlling cause which
has produced this sudden but not altogether un.
expected resignation. The recent failure of
kimball has, no doubt, precipitated this crafty.
ing action on the part of Bullock. 1t has been
suspected for some days past that bends Of the
excess OF the amount authorized by law. In.
deed, this fraudulent issue Of bonds has been,
within the last few days, virtually admitted by
BullOcks political friends and the disclosure of
this monstrous fraud, in all its villainous de-
formity, was sure to have been made in few
days. We thought last week, when Bullock left
the state so suddenly, and under the shallow pre-.
texts which were given by his friends. that he
would not return. He has had a good time;
has feathered his own and the nests Of his part.
ners In fraud and crime, and now. when the
light is about to be let in upon bis robberies he
fees the state. and resigns the seals of Office to
one OF his own henchmen. Thank God, the
state has Ut last got rid Of this bold robber and
INSCRIPTIONS partisan. Let US hope that tho
ruin he has brought is not as great as in gener.

ARRIVAL OF THE N. II. n u
SURVEYING PARTY.
Terrible Suffering Forty Soldiers and
One Citizen severely Frozen.

We received call yesterday morning from
Mr.. G. D. Chenowe:h, Assistant Engineer of
the N. p. r. r. party on the Yellowstone,
who arrived in this place On Tuesday evening,
having left Mr.. Muhlenbnrg and the balance
of the Surveying party. at the Crow A gency.
Capt. Ball and the escort also returned to
Fort Ellis Tuesday evening. Mr.. Cheno-
weth reports terrible suffering among the
whole party by cold. They had broken
camp and were on the march when the severe
snow storm Of Friday came upon them in all
of its fury, the binding snow coming in a
hurricane, drifting to the depth of many
feet in their line OF march, and the party
getting scattered, the greatest SUFFERING pre-
vailed. Twenty three soldiers were frozen
badly, and about forty altogether were more
or less frozen. They would tumble off Of
their horses perfectly benumbed, and it re-
CURED the greatest exertion of those not SO
badly affected to arouse them from the stupor
that was fast coming on them. One man
connected with the surveying party, having
become detached from the main body, was
out all night, and had his feet SO badly frozen
that amputation will probably be necessary.
The Survey of Mr.. Muhlenburg's party ex-
tended about one hundred and forty miles
down the Yellowstone valley, and Mr..
Chenoweth is highly pleased with the coun-
try, and is satisfied that the line surveyed on
the north side of the river is the most prac-
ticable route that could be adopted. which
brings the road directly through Bozeman

The party saw no hostile Indians on the
trip. although fresh signs were visible every
day. The Sioux were undoubtedly watching
the movements Of the surveyors every day.
About one hundred and fifty lodges of Sioux
were ascertained by the party as being
camped on the Big Horn. The crows were
with the surveying party portion OF the
time making several sorties, capturing stock
from the Sioux, which showed them to be in
close proximity to the party. Some Of the
stock belonging to the outfit persisted from
cold and hunger. s n

FROM THE YELLoWsToNe.--We had call
yesterday from Mr.. g. w. Hoffman and Mr..
Harry Williams who came in from the
Agency with Captain Ball and his command
OF three companies Of cavalry, returning
from their trip as escort to the surveying
party. Mr.. Williams LETT Bozeman last week

but the party were stopped by the snow
Messrs. EtliRger and Clendenin being now
encamped below the Agency waiting for

man and Williams we learn additional facts
Of the fearful storm. and the terrible suffer-
ings of the entire party in making the trip
from the Agency to Fort Ellis, and the ct
fecrs Of the stornsin the Y lowstone valley.
The Yellowstone river was frozen almost
completely over, the whole command cross
ing on the ice, with the exception Of small
space where the rapids prevented freezing.

their way through the drifts, which in some
instances exceeded eight feet. Their horses
were almost famished for want Of food, and
many dropped by the way side from cold and
exhaustion. They were met between Ellis
and the Agency by party of soldiers with
grain and shovels, who dug trail over the
ranges, and the. whole command reached
Ellis after two days travel, traught with suf-
fering and danger, the entire distance being
only thirty-tWo miles. About tWo-thirds of

being dangerous. All of the party highly

i LOWER HoT SPRINGS DISTRICT, !
MADISON COUNTY, nj. T.,
1 November 21st, lS71.)
h To the Editor Of the Acant Courier:
\ While Bozeman is the general theme of in
terest, perhaps an item from our present iso-
lated, though not quite deserted region, will
be acceptable. There are two distinct gold
bearing quartz belts running through and
forming the Hot Springs District.
Some years ago certain eminent Profess
sor, whose theories were thought to be true,
in 'sthose days. remarked: .sProspectors
need look for no gold bearing quartz east of
the Basaltic formation, thrown UP in the Geo
logical Appalachian PERIOD" Situate on the
east edge of the west betty Since the fore
going remark a few energetic prospectors
have demonstrated that the ssNise man of
the East was mistaken. As a result the
eastern, or lower belt, was discovered, and
many tons of rich ore have been taken there
from. The future will demonstrate how nu-
merous these rich gold bearing quartz lodes
are. Assthe present time Messrs. Lounds u
Mallory, owners of the Red Bluff lode. have
some seventy-fiye tons of ore on the dump.
ard at the depth of 100 feet have from two to
six feet of quartz in the Slope. The yield
from quartz already manipulated has ranged
from $50 to $50 per ton. 800
Messrs. Baldwin u Dorr, after running an
open cut fifty feet on the Appalachian lode,
which shows from sixteen to thirty inches OF
good quartz all the way 1.-THE creyice being
five feetin width) are now sinking shaft
four by six feet in the clear. The ore yields
from $50 to $50 per ton. .3t
Dir. Bradley is now developing the Brad
ley lode, AT distanceof forty feet from
the surface vein from sixteen to eighteen
inches in width Of very rich quartz shows.
The crevice is several feet wide.
As darkness precedeth light, even thus the
prosperity of this camp is foreshadowed by
its PAST lethargy, and those in whom faith
and work are abundant shall yet reap their
reward, their purses pletliorie with riches,
and the development of the rich mines in
this district be an accomplished fact.
Respectfully yours,
PROSPECTOR. n

A PROCLAIM ALTON.

The year that is nearing its close has been
filled with blessings of health. peace and
pIenty. While eur Divine Master in His
wisdom, has deemed it just to severely chas-
tise certain sections of orr common country,
He has been pleased not to lay His chastising
hand upon this people. He has lifted Ills all
protecting hand and stayed the progress OF
pestilence ere it reached our borders. Our
fields and herds have yielded even more
abundantly than heretofore. Our population
has steadily increased and prospered. The
searchers after precious metals have received
their meritetl reward. The iron arms OF 2
trans-continental railroad will soon clasp our
mountains and connect our Territory with
the two oceans. Churches and schools nave
multiplied and the moral sentiment OF the
people improved. These blessings are the
gift of the Most High God WHO had remein-
bered las in great mercy. Itseams TO me put
proper that these gifts should BE reVerently
and gratefully acknowledged.
do, therefore, invite my fellow-clthens IN
every part of the Territory to set apart and
