to Mr.. Goodman), in yesterdays issue
of that paper, INDUCES in a low-flung,
personal TRADE against the local editor
of this paper-one of those cautiously
audacious and scurrilous articles for
which he is noted, and which hav
rendered that venal writer tamous-or
infamous. His charges against those
who would be diSgraced 10y association
with him are always couched in the
form Of innuendo-that literary still

is no defense. To charge him with
being A deliberate and wilful falsifier.
is but to add fuel TO the flame in build
ing up for him that reputation for
which he has labored without inter
mission for years, and in which he
glories, as the desperate does in the

the minds of those who are not falnil-
lar with his we'll established and I'M
enviable reputation, we may be ex-
cused for saving that his InsInuationS
i'll observation-disclosures in regard to
our experiences in California, were
coined solely from his own diseased
brain, and have not the faintest shadow
OF foundation in truth-and he knew
il when he wrote. We never lived in
a community where the existence of "A
Vigilance Committee was known: we
never saw a mob i'll our life:
were nearer to the scene of mob ale
or mob violence than we are now, to
Virginia City; no friend or associate of
ours was ever arrested, imprisoned or
executed. eitherb by law officers or mob.
When the editor ufthe Enterprise SAYS
we know what it is to live in fear of
the organized wrath of al outraged
community he lies by innuendo;
when he SAYS of Us: "Ile knows what
it is to see his friends branded and ex-
ccuted without the sanction of law

when he SAYS We know what it il to
skulk from Justice. and fear each bush

declares that n correspondent ever

Observation-Disclosures Daytonites, in
Guiding sheriff George y. Shaw and
County Treasurer Il. ii. Carrick. went
up TO Lake Bigler Yesterday, fully SUP
piled with tents. camp equipage and
liquid provisions. \ number of per-
sons from this city, Virginia and Gold
Hill have recently gone up to the lake
for a s~oiourn of IA week or two. The
camping Californians Will begin to
pour over the ridge To the head of the
lake and TO Sugar Pine Point during
the present month, and h rush will
continue until about the middle of
September. The best time for rough
and ready fellows and sportSmen to
60 is about the first of September. At
this season thunder showers in that
region are frequent, the weather
warm and game scarce. In September
the nights are uncomfortably cool, but
the DAYS are delightful, the lake mo-
Iionle>s, and the mountain slopes and
marshes from the head of the lake via
Emerald Truckee outlet abound
in game. such as bear, deer, grouse,
and smaller birds.
