We present the main facts regarding
the Virginia City explosion. The parti-
culars are narrowing in the extreme. The
only thing to do is to make a lamenta-
ton over the dreadful desolation which
lies in the concealed danger of that mys-
terions agency, nitro glycerine, and to
pray that its use and handling may be
forever abandoned. The lessons which
these appalling agencies teach are too
hard t" contemplate with philosophic
patience. But it must be asked in very
serious earnest, is this species Of peril to
be always present? Might not this cal
amity be repeated in Carson, spite of all
precautions? Is there any nitro glycer-
inc here? Any giant powder? Any un-
warranted stowage of blasting or gun
powder in the town? 1t ought to be SO
that these questions could be given a
negative answer
For those who are the living victims,
the mourners, over this sudden shock of
death and Woe, there is n full and hon.
est outSivinS of coincidence For the
shocked and battered city there il a no
less genuine sense Of sympathy.

he would very soon illustrate his fitness
for that Office. We hope he may get it.

During the excitement and consequent
turmoil attendant upon such occasions
1t will be impossible to give more than q
casual estimate of the losses incident to
this fearful calamity. We are called
upon to perform disagreeable duty;
but one none the less incumbent, and
the facts are substantiated by the evil
dence Of nearly every man. woman and
child in Hamilton, and proven by the
assertions of the Fire Department;
which is, that the White Pine Water
Company were culpably negligent in the
performance Of their contract with the
city, inasmuch ~. on the morning of
fire, it must have been fully two hours
before an amount of water could be OBJ
tanned, it having been turned partly of
during the night. As We ourselves can
testify, at $40 the confagration burst
forth, and at $50 no water had been
brought to bear upon any one point.

ONE or THE OLD CROWD.

ers have become familiar during the last few
weeks US the nowly-elected Senator from
Georgia, belongs to the old crowd who art
pcrpetually coming to the rescue Of the Con.

evidence we have Of this fact Is 4 recenl
speech which he made before the Legislative
Assembly of that State. Upon that occasion
he let the bird Of freedom soar on and naT
his wings after tho following fashion,

A FACETIOUs SPANISH EDITOR.

The Spanish editor Of the Government or

which was printed in our columns yesterday

as they reflect the sentiments Of his master,
the Spanish-Cuban Government. He be-
comes quite gleeful over the Modoc war, and
thinks the Spanish King ought 70 advise Gen.

how he should conduct our Indian campaign;
that the English journals ought to send cor.
respondents to the Indian frontier to ascer-

the Spanish authorities place upon the for.

the last four years. II our Government were
