LETTER FROM CARSON RIVER.
Carson RIVER,
April %, 1872. (

EDITOR LEICESTER. SlSnS Will tHe
times indicate a something. That
something may beapromoter of good,
or possibly it may be a giver of ad
ditional evil. Surely Revolutionary
era has stood in, and changes can be
looked for with a fair degree of hope,
as the multi preponderating evidence
of present evil gives guaranty that
an additional evil cannot exist with
out back-breakings. We have had
high waters, earthquakes, defalca-
tons, plunderers. and millicnaires,
until so frightful that the hair stands
50 straight on end upon the top of
the head as to threaten the drawing
of a fellow out of his boots.
Last Winter the Carson river
roared and foamed equal to an angry
canine; pitching headlong within
and without banks, seeking lower
levels, as though a new head had
been arising upon the surface at the
high altitude of the old, and with its
unusual volume of forcible energy
created a frightful commotion along
the line of residents thereupon the
result of which could not be readily
and satisfactorily predicted by the
unthoughtful and inexperienced
rank and file. at the time of its pas

sink in the Il grand deposit, far
beyond the reach of labOrious hands.
The turbulent career OF this river,
and the large structures rearing their
immense proportions high in the air,
as if by magic old ones remodeled,
enlarged and set to quick motion,
seemed ominous. and directed watch
full eyes and attentive ears to coming
events. apparently more Indicative
of greater good than had been real
lied in the past. The eyes and the
ears were soon attracted to the I'M
known underground wealth Of the
Comstock coming and unexpectedly
scattered here andthere, to the feeble

nestive of the thought like unto that
of the Carson river. Another head
had arisen to the high altitude of the
peculiar workings of the ComstOck,
giving signs hat the flow of wealth
should be diverted from that chan
mel similar TO the Carson, that leads
on to the one grand deposit. Rings

Something has attempted to sink a
portion of the country on this coast.
Some call that something an
earthquake. At all events the signs,
the so-called quakes, plunderers and
millionaires. are waking up the peo-

canvass the present and the future

on the General Government, and one
that will possess the wisdom and
ability to sound aloud the signal,

of the times are significant, and the
poor dilapidated people have reason
to be of good cheer for the hope that
the brakes may yet be set to hold
them on their passage from that de
