SERGEANT BATES.

SERGEANT BATES.
Our readers will remember thai
some time after the close of the war
Sergeant G. II. Bates, of the Union
army, started on a tramp from Nicks-
burg to Washington, carrying above
his head the American flag, to prove
the falsity of the stories industriously
circulated las the Ku Klux stories are
to day by Republicans in Congress,
Republicans on the stump, and
Republicans in the sanctum to the
effect that the "rebels'' were still hos
tile to the flag and that the life of any
man who would dare to hoist it in
their presence would be imperilled.
Bates and his flag were everywhere
hailed by these 'hostile rebels with
demonstrations of joy, while the Rad
ical papers throughout the country
denounced the thing as a ''trick,' and
abused the loyal soldier round!y. The
brave Sergeant is now a resident of
indianapolis, Indiana, from which
place, under date of March p, 1871, he
writes to the editor of the Raleigh
IN. c. Sentinel an account which
may be termed the heretofore secret
history of his journey through the
South. We publish that letter this
morning, and ask for it a careful read
ing. But that the narrative is the
plain and simple statement of one who
has nothing to gain and perhaps much
to lose by its publication, it would
seem almost Incredible. 1t shows up
in the most glaring colors the depths
of infanly to which Republican lead
ers lthe same to-day Us ever will de-
scend for the purpose of maintaining
their hold upon the Threats and the
purse of the people. There can be no
doubt that these Loyal ~ Leagues of
the South, composed of ca~rpet-bag-
gers, scalawags and negroes (of which
the Republican party is exclusively
composed i'll those States, in their
threats and efforts to assaSsinate a loyal
soldier who thus a second time riSked
his life to save his country from the
Vaccinations of it's foes, were acting
in full sympathy and accord with SIM
liar organizations in the North, and
under instructions from the leaders of
the Republican part in Congress. The
same thing, with all the variations
that the hellish ingenuity of ~venality
invent, is going on in the South as
i'll the North to day; and with the Re
publican leaders-with those double
dyed traitors who cry '~loyalty!' as
the villain cries 'stop shief!" while
they fasten their infamv and iniquity
upon us, undermine our liberties upon
the false plea of protecting" their
party tools in the South, and betray
their country with a kiss-no murder
c IN be too foul, cruel on hairless, if it
will only bring their party success.
1t is high time that the masses of the
Republican party-those WHO have
to lose and nothing TO gain
but the satisfaction of being on the
side-should look calmly into
these things, should %scrutinize closely
The tendencies of them party and the
means resorted to To compass its sue
ress. Read the letter Of Sergeant
and judge by the past what
means are being resorted to by the
same men to-day.

HOGS.

hogs are u HulSUilce. L uou l llht
hogs. We have at least two million
in Carson City, which averages NOR
than two to each inhabitant, including
Indians mot taxed" Now that is toe
much pork. If you want to 60 to the
postoffice you must take a back street
and keep clear of the hotels for fear OF
''banking'' on a school of hogs. l was
coming down town one day, and a
great big old SOW (she weighed about
a ton, l reckon had been getting
twenty or thirty pigs, and the cooks
at a hotel didn't want her in and about
the kitchen. so they induced her to
depart by ShOwering hot water OF her
back. She left; but she didn't go in Il
good humor. So when she got to the
street she went after Il little boy, and
l gathered the little chap under my
arm and departed with him, but that
old sow came after me, and my dog
went after her, and he took hold of
her ear in such a persuasive manner
that she stopped, and they had a little
discussion, and when they had finish
ed, that old SOW had one ear and my
dog had three. | felt no pity tor that
old brute; l don't pity hogson general
principles: don't think there ought to
be any hogs anyway; they smell bad
in warm weather. They make good
sausage>: so do cats and dogs, As WE
know Ivy experience. l never will
forgive old Noah for driving two hogs
into that ark; ifhe had only taken one
and when he arrived OFT the Heads"
at Mount Ararat had quietly dropped
that one overheard he would have
done mankind some service; but he
took two and they have multiplied and
''blemished' the earth. and Noah is
to blame for II. and | won't forgive
him now fol getting drunk after he
landed. OF course it was quite natural
that he should yet on a bender after a
long voyage, but he didn't have to
import any hogs from that wicked old
world to this clean new one. and but
for him we should not now have hogs
TO the right of us and hogs to the left
OF us and hogs all around us. He i
dead now they say. and / don't care
much If he is: | havn't any pity for a
man that would ride forty days and
forty nights i'll n ark with hogs. l am
in Y of a 10th amendment to the
Constitution of the United States abol-
hogs; amt you?

A DEAD Loss.-Last Friday afternoon,
Mr.. E. Backus, whose farm is situated in
Sumner township, about two miles south
of this city, sustained the loss Of the en-
tire crop Of grain he harvested this
season, by fire. His grain was in five
stacks-three of wheat and two Of oats,
and was entirely consumed The origin
Of the fire remains considerably mys-
terry. AS the sky was clear and uncl0ud-
ed at that time, it could not be traced to
the elements; but couple of boys, who
were seen on the premises short time
before with lighted cigars in their mouths,
may have had some agency in the affair,
1t must be rather discouragny to Mr.
Backus to lose the fruits of his toll in
such summary manner, and beyond all
hope of recovery, too.
