BRISTOL BULLIoN.-From Judge Hall,
of Bristol District, who favored us with
a call yesterday, we learn hat the smelt-
ing works of that flourishing district
shipped to San Francisco ON the 2lst in
slant, ten tons of bullion. Eureka
must look to her laurels. 1t costs $50
per ton to lay this bullion down in San
Fr~ancisco-S30 per ton from Phoebe to
Palisade, and $40 from that point to
San Francisco. Judge Hall says that
heretofore the Central Pacific Railroad
has only charged $40 per ton on bullion,
but the price has recently been raised to
$50. That's the way the railroad folks
encourage the production of the precious
metals III Il midst. Judge Hall re-
turned to Bristol District yesterday

REDUCTION OF FRE1GHT.-The Virginia
!. and Truckee Railroad Company have
put down their rates of freight on barley,
ground feed and oils, in straight car loads,
to 81 per ton from Reno to this City
one dollar less than they have heretofore
charged. This is some little relief; but
the big tax from California to Reno,
lately added by the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company, of II cents on the 100
pounds, or So 40 per ton above former
rates, still remains and counts heavily
on grain and all else Virginia Enter

joices in the cognomen of Schimerhorn,

sert. The Indian, not only failed in his
purpose, but got shot in the bargain, the
ball entering his left breast. The wounded
Indian is lying at present at the camp of
his tribe, near the twelve mile house,
and it is doubtful whether he will re-
cover.
The Virginia Enterprise of the 10Th, in
commenting on the escape of the Modocs,
has the following The Modocs are Il
numerous as well as a dangerous people,
numbering not less than seventy war
riors. Their banner is a wolf tail, and
their food horsefesh and rattlesnakes
but ten or fifteen thousand troops will be
able to handle them, unless they strike
another lava bed, and, thank Heaven,
they will o o be in the field.
