PLEASANT NISIT.-While in Car
son, since our last, we visited the
offices of the Tribune and Appeal,
and found the respective proprietors
and editors hard at work. In a short
time, or as. soon as the opposition
telegraph line is completed to that
place, both these papers will publish
Eastern and Western dispatches,
which will add greatly to their in
terest. They are now valuable local
papers and deservedly patronized.

SHARON NEwLANDS' MARRIAGE
The San Francisco papers are filled
with the particulars of the great
event of the week-the marriage of
Miss Clara A. Sharon to Frank G..
Newlands-which took place at the
elegant residence of the brides pa
rents on Suffer street, on Thursday
evening last. The presents were of
the most grand description, the
father OF the bride bestowing check
for cool million of dollars.

PANAM1NT.-On Friday we met a
gentleman, while on the train, who
had visited the new Ell Dorado
Panamint. His report is very
favorable as to the prospects OF the
camp. He returned via Lone Pine
and Carson, in a private convey
ance. distance 365 miles. There is
a tri-weekly stage running over the
route, taking about seven days
either way. He estimates that
there are about 700 men at work,
and the idlers swell the number to
1000 or 1900. Work is being
prosecuted on several mines, but
only two have reached any consid-
cradle depth, one 60 feet, the other
80 feet; town lots sell at from 300
to 1000 dollars; wood and water
plentiful; lumber very scarce, at
100 dollars per NJ. Notwithstand-
ing he thinks the camp of per-
manent nature and undoubtedly
rich, he does not advise an emigra-
ton from this part of the country.
There is one fve=stamp mill in
operation, and the Jones-Stewart
mill is going up rapidly. A num-
Der of others are contemplated.
In answer to our enquiry whether
or not he would return, he said ne
might in the Spring!

CARSON CITY.-Business called us

CARSON CITY.-Business called u
to the Capital since our last issue
Taking the train at Gold Hill, W.
were landed at the depot in Carson
in about two hours. Calling at the
United States Branch Mint, we were
ushered into the presence OF bis
highness, Superintendent Crawford
and spent an hour very pleasantly
in conversation. OF course 1t was
necessary to drop into the Meter
and Refner's Department, where we
met with w. II. Stevens, Esq, who
was in charge, Mr.. Bryant being alb
sent in California, Mr.. S. has ar
duous duties to perform yet does
them without a murmer and has
time to greet an acquaintance and
treat his friends in most hospital
manner. We are under lasting OBJ
legations to him for the attention
shown us on the occasion of our
visit. The Mint is in the most eX-
cellent hands, and doing more work
than was ever thought of in times
gone by. Notwithstanding they
coin a large amount of trade dollars
and small silver coin, each coin re-
curing the same handling that
$50 gold piece does, it is thought
something over half million dol
lars will be coined this month. Con-
sidering that two working days are
cut out of the month-election day
and Thanksgiving-this is simply
enormous. In company with Mr..
Crawford we visited several places,
met and conversed with many, and
say right here, we like the people OF
the Capital City very much, and
hope to meet with them frequently.
In the evening, at the special invita-
ton of Mr.. Laughton, we visited the
concert given by the Arion Musical
Society. 1t was the best amateur
performance it has been our lot to
witness. The leader, Mr.. Laughton,
deserves especial mention and praise
for the manner in which the whole
affair was carried on, more than we
have space to give. Our regular
Correspondent comes to our rescue
ere, by giving the concert in de-
tail in this issue. In the morning,
having some time to spare before
train time we visited the Warm
Springs, and dropped in to see our
very particular friend Col. Hyman,
Warden of the Penitentiary, who re-
ported everything running along
smoothly within his institution. Re-
turning we visited the office of the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad,
where we met with Supt. Ierrlngtoh
and several of his assistants, to
whom we return thanks for favors
extended. Soon thereafter, at the
command of call aboard" we seated
ourself in a comfortable position
and were whirled away at a
rapid rate homeward.
Carson City presents avery thrifty
appearance; a large number of res
licences and business houses are in
course of erection, and many per-
manent improvements going on.
1t is the natural site for the State
Capitol, and public institutions OF
similar nature, as it is more central
and easy of access than any other
town in. the State.

The Indians.

mi tee-How and W ho shoald Deal with the
Indians,

WASHINGTON, JAN 30--General
Sherman was before the House Mill
tary Committee again to-dsy. and
spoke of the army in connection with
Indian affairs. He referred especial
ly to the Indian raids into Texas,
pointing out on the map a strip of
country in Texas, comprising a
number of organized settlements,
which on his visit there two years
ago, had been wholly deserted by
the settlers on account of the depre.
dations of the Indians. The Gener.
al said these Indians were reported
to be Comanches, but it was pretty
we'll understood that they were Kio.
owas, Cheyennes and Arapahoes,
from the Fort Sill Reservation. He
gave graphic account OF his inter-
view at Fort Sill with Santana, where
he had him, Santauk and Big Tree
ironed and sent to Texas, whore
they were convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged, which would
have been done but for the influence
Of the Humanitarians, who regarded
the murders on the part of the In
dams as a mere exhibition of emo
tional insanity, and. who induced
GoEernor Davis, who ought to have
known better, to commute the seD-
tence.

had finally released them, and they
were now on q reservation ready for

one victim, and favored the transfer
of the Indian affairs from tho Inter-
Tor Department to the War Depart

that the army was more kindly dis
posed to the Indian, than the citizens
generally and that it the untry de-
manded extremely charitable treat.

accomplished by and through the
agency of the army better than

who professed more charity than
the soldiers, but also did not prac-
tice it much.

The reported death of the eminent
African explorer, DR.. Livingstone,
will send sorrow into the hearts of
thousands who have for years fol
lowed him with their sympathies
and best wishes. The report needle
confirmation, and may yet prove TO
be only another in the long list OF
similar rumors, of which the great
travel has been the subject. After
being often gazetted as dead, Liv-
ingstore was easily found alive when
the HerdEds enterprise was brought

ton; and it may yet turn out that
the Doctors fate is to be favorabiy
decided once more, and bis life-work
yet completed without tragic &C
compartments But if it be, indeed,
q fact that Livingstone has at length
laid down his life in the interests OF
scientific exploration, a worldwide
grief will be felt and manifested such
as will become q glorious and peren-
Mai monument of the greatest OF
modern explorers. Perhaps no
modern traveller is less in need OF
euIogy or biography, for Living
stones name and exploits have long
been househould words the world
over. At least, let US wait hopefully
for a contradiction of this latest ru-
NOR before ipditing the noble mans

Renegade Radicals Rebuked.

| We recently copied from the Mil
waukee Hero}d, prominent Reform
paper, the following paragraph:
The Representatives of the Reform move
ment, at Madison, have yet to prove that they
are real Reformers. That they are not vary
| liberal, is plainly indicated BY their appoint
ments at the Capitol and in the Legislature,
which have more the taste Of the sold Party''
than of Liberalism. You might ask what
claim most Of the appointed gentlemen, who
have lived a life of pure BouTbonism, have on
the Reform movement, and that they should
be entitled TO obtain the lat Of tie broth.
Still we do not wish TO opsn ,.tAas~+s<s tioH'
| for debate at present bot VIII wait to see
how the entire jubilee will end. But let US
| say this much TO the men OF Reform al Madi-
son, if they use TOO much of the sold party
| gyease' 10 oil the Reform machine, then the
| Liberals, who have paved the way to Madi-
son, will no longer be their tools. In the
short, il was not the intention Of the honest
Reformer TO gavanize the old Democratic
party 10 new lie ; and The illItera Reforiner
at Madison may take this advice. The flood
might come upon them sooner than they de-
sire it,
The Prairie du CHEN Courier re.
spends to the above in the following
vigorous style:
The ABOVE from the Madison STATE
journal shows the impndenco ana
cheek Of the Her0id as is characteris-
tic Of that paper alone. The idea of
few renegade, soreheaded radicals
Calling themselves |Roformors")
having the presumption to srrogate
TO themselves the credit and spoils OF
the recent DEMOCRATIC victory
in Wisconsin, is the height of absurd
ity. During the campaign just pass
ed, it was impossible to drum up
even a handfuI Of "Llberal Republi-
cans" when they were needed for
political effect. We know, for we
saw it tried. Why, in this county
Of Crawford, where we Democrats
are united nqdin and ,corked together,
we gave our Old fashioned Democrat
je majority. Aud yet thoro is not .

The Legislature has done inst
right, SO far The State officers and
repre- entative members were elected
by Democratic votes, and it was only
right that they should fill the ap
oointive offices with Democrats
1t is no use for such Red RepR6-
deans" as Coleman OF the Herold get'
ting he hack up, because bis German
radicals are not chosen. He knows
all about this "Refqrm" business
himself, And without The staunch,
old.Iine war. horse of Democracy,
the "Reform Movement" will play
out quicker than the Greeley Hum
bug did.
In this Democratic county Of "Old
Crawford" we we worked with Dem
oorats to get out united Democrat
ic vote for VIM. r Taylor because
we knew be was q Democrat and.
therefore, entitled to our Suffrage
We gave the Democratic (f3eform)
ticket nearly 900 majority. Let
those men deny that they are Dem
ocrafs, and dare to ignore the true
character of the electors whose votes
placed them in office, and the next
chance we get "Old Crawford" vii
give them a worse rebuke than ever
