We arrived about eight O'Clock in the
evening, TO the great JOY Of Boyd aud
Pattie, who had given us up as lost.
This was five days ago, and to-day the
Navahoe chief arrived, and after long
discussion, agreed to settle the matter
for certain number Of cattle and horses,
but their demands are so exhorbitant
that am sure that they viii never he
complied with. ME. Hamiin leaves to-
morrow morning for ST. George, to lay
the matter before Brigham Young, and
he Is to meet the chiefs here again. with
the answer 10 their demands. IN twenty
five days from to-day. By the way. we
learned from the Savahoes today that
two parties from Phoebe, who met at this
point some time last December. AMI left
here together. had 4 fight with the Elk
Mountain Utes, on their way to san
Juan, and that one of their number was
killed and one wounded. ! don't know
any Of them, but the names Of four of
them were u. W. Mcclure, Sailor Jack,
Z. L. Goblin and Bacon Moody. We also
learned that Tate, Mechanics AID a man
called the " Commodor-, all from
Phoebe, who left here some weeks ago,
obtained guides from the Nayahoes, and
reached San Juan in safety. We shall
leave here tomorrow morning to explore
a region Of country about $50 miles from
here, of which We have heard favorable
accounts, and shall. if we are not scalped
and roasted, be back at this point in the
course of month or six weeks. We
shall probably, in the course OF the trip,
visit the villages Of the Oribas, people
who build three-story houses OF stone,
and whose greatest term Of reproach to
one another is that he is a lazy man. Ii
We do, and the present does not wear out
the patience of your readers, it may form
the subject of another letter. John Pat
tie, John d. Boyd and my brother are
well, and we all fully expect to strike
another Comstock, or at least Raymond

In conclusion, wish to give my testi-
mony to the bearing of Mr.. Hamlin

deavored to depict, No drawer man ever

inclemercy Of the weather. In many
localities ntire herds have died, and
Others CRAFTY depleted. From gentle
man who mas lately arrived from White
river, about forty miles distant from
Bamiltou. We learn that many of the
farmers in that vicinity have suffered
severe losses, owing to the extreme cold
and stormy weather. Among those
whose herds have been thus diminished,
are Messrs. Witherlngton * Murphy.
Who are about the heaviest losers. The
cattle are still dying at rapid rate, and
ii tie weather does not relax in severity,
the entire herds in that direction are
liablr to perish.-[ Eureka Sentinel.
CATTLE DyISG.-Governor Bradley and
his son, John Bradley, of Mineral Hill,
have already lost, by starvation and cold,
during the present severe Winter, about
2 900 head OF beef cattle, besides innuin-
cradle sheep and many horses. Their
stock was distributed along a belt of
country running from lone, in Nye
county, to Fort Halleck, in Elko, and
this belt seems to have been visited by
an unusually heavy snowfall during the
present Winter. The dead stock was
valued at from $4,000 TO $50, 000.-

PERsoSAL.-Rev. j. P. Egbert left last
evening for Los Angeles, Cal, to which
place he has been appointed to take
charge Of the Presbyterian Church in
that city. He goes from here to Elko,
lecturing there on Wednesday evening,
and preaching at Palisade on the follow
ing evening. During his stay in Eureka
the reverend gentleman created very
favorable impression, both as n lecturer
and preacher Eureka Sentinel.

"Rube" Hobart (brother to the SENATOR
was returning from the Divide, on horse
back, his animal became unmanageable,
and dashed down b street at a furious

In addition to the losses already re-
ported, the fusileers lost sc men in the
battle with the Ashantees. Further de-
tails of the battle says the combatants
fought desperately. The fight lasted
from six o'clock in the morning until
three o'clock in the afternoon. Seven
teen British officers were killed or
wounded, The naval brigade, l47
strong, lost thirty men. The rifle brig
ade twenty-six, and the engineer corps
thirity-eight men. The loss sustained
by the native allies is unknown, but was
very heavy. The communications of the
British forces with the interior are
threatened, as it is believed that another
large force of Ashautees are approaching
| Coomassie from the southwest.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The War Office has
received no reports of the battle said TO
have taken place between Sir Garnet
Wolseys army and the Ashantees, but
an unofficial though circumstantial, dis
patch has reached the Admiralty Office.
The battle was fought at Cromberie on
January 81, and not at Cormassic, as re-
ported. Among the killed are Major
Baird and Captain Buckler The Globe
says if the news is true great disaster
has befallen the British arms, and the
only course left to Sir Garnett Wosey is
to effect safe retreat to the coast.
A special to the Standard says the
Ashantees entirely surrounded the Brit
ish army, but were eventually driven of
with great loss. The principal chief OF
the Ashantees was killed. The King
has taken command Of his army in per.
son. and it was expected that he would
renew the attack. February 9Th was
decided upon for the storming of Coon
AISLE by General Wolsley's forces.

THE DEAD SENATOR.

The remains # the great Massachusetts,
Senator were yesterday borne away from
p. the capital to their last resting place in the
State which he so long and so ably repre-
scented in the highest Legislative body in the
country. All the hopors which the Republic
''ceeld give were gissh-ssiYsQ With 9 sig-
cerity and depth of affection that rarely falls
to the lot Of our public men.
We cannot take leave of Mr.. Sumner
without a word personal to ourselves
as Westinghouse. During the last quar-
ter of century most of his life was spent
among US. Here was his home, all that in
life he treasured and valued and loved. He
was essentially one of our citizens, for he
always regarded Washington from high
national stand point, and contributed all in
his power to make it worthy of its position
in the Union. His fine taste WIS always
exercised in its behalf He loved its very
stones and trees. Only few weeks ago he
appealed in his place in the Senate for the
preservation OF q favorite tree in the eastern
grounds of the Capitol, and urged the re-
moval of the statue of Jefferson to the ma
tional gallery Of statuary. He never cast q
vote against the interests of the city on
the contrary, his voice was again and again
heard in its behalf, now for statue, or q
picture, or public building. Mr.. Sumner
is real loss to Washington, and we hope
at no distant day to see his memory per-
petusted In manner that shall be worthy
Of his great name and fame.

MIR. SUNNERs SUCCESSOR.

NH. q OAHbR - CCVCHOEVxs
The newspapers have already begun the
discussion of the question, "Who shall
succeed Mr.. Sumner in the Senate?" To
our mind, it would be in much better taste
to let the subject rest until at least the
grave shall have closed over the remains of
the dead Senator. The Herald, in short
article on the subject, shows its usual in
consistency, weakness and indirectness. It
says: at is with the highest culture Of
Boston and Massachusetts, to declare who
that Senator shall be. We do not think It
rests with General Butler or his faction to
name Mr.. Summers successor. Il he to be
politician to I'LL vacancy, or statesman
to I'LL the place Of statesmenT Only the
day before, that exceedingly consistent
Journal gave it, solemn judgment that Mr..
Sumner was not . statesman. Which opin-
ion are we to believe, which estimate Of his
life and services and ability must we takei
Another point-she Herald Is hardly ajudge
Of "culture.

In recent issue of the New York Erening
Post there appeared an interesting letter from
this city on "Art in Washington" which con-
tains some just and truthful criticisms upon
many of the works that adorn and disfgure
the Capitol. The writer thinks Greenough's
"Pioneer" group sis q work of great merit, and
the more valuable as it is one Of the rare in
stances of the Government giving commission
for o purely ideal work. Its position Sat the
top of huge fight Of steps reminds one Of .
peculiarly of Washington architecture. II
asked what feature of the architecture here
made the strongest impression on my mind,
I should reply steps, The Csprui~ Is
about one half steps: It is an imposing
structure, through It's dimensions, the elegant
material it is built of, as well as through many
of its admirable details; but the general effect
is marred by the superabundance of steps.
The basement story is altogether too high.
The Greeks and Romans from whence the
style is derived did not use steps out of pro-
portion with the superstructure. Their edifces,
it is true, were often approached by numerous
steps, but only when leading to platform on
which the building was erected, and which
rested as close to the ground as possible. They
did not perch building aloft with view to
make IT look grand. The superior effect Of .
building without unnecessary steps is visible
in the White House."

great advocate of emancipation and snfran-

now, largely through the agency OF the de-
ceased Senator, in the full enjoyment of all the
rights, privileges and immunities of citizen
ship. To effect this object was the purpose OF
his life. That he had lived to see It fully At
tanned was q great satisfaction and added greatly
to the calm contentment of the last hours Of
his life. His one unsatisfed longing was the
enactment ofthe supplementary civil rights bill
into law as the last of series of statutes for
the security and perpetuity of the unalloyed
freedom for which he had so long and con-
sistently labored. The colored race owe it to
themselves and the manhood with which they
have been clothed to commemorate in an ap-

proper time, and the national capital, as the
active scene of his labors in their behalf, is
prominently the place for this distinctive
mark of gratitude and appreciation.
