INDIAN WAR THREATENED.

Dispatches from Corinne are of a
startling nature. The town is infested
with Indians whose actions indicate
war. They have sent off their women
and children, and about one thousand
warriors in paint and feathers have
moved nearer town. They are under
the leadership of a Mormon Dante
or destroying angel, and their presence
has created much alarm. 1t seems
scarcely credible that they mean war;
yet it is possible that they have been in
cited to commence hostihties against
the Gentiles by the Mormons, who are
driven to desperation by the disclos-
ures of their iniquities at the Lee trial
Corinne is situated on the line of the
Central Pacific Railroad, and if the re-
ports are we'll founded and the Indians
and Mormons mean war they can have
all they want of it. Volunteers for an
expedition into Mormondom will not
De wanting. The moment a call is
issued thousands from the east and
west will offer their services, and in
less than a week the knell Eef the
peculiar institution will be rung in
Utah. 1t is impossible to believe that
even Indians can be so foolhardy as to
commence hostilities in that quarter,
but instigated by the Mormons, such
thing is possible. 1t is to be hoped
that polygamy will be eradicated from
Utah by legal and peaceable means,
but If war is inaugurated within its
borders, it is probable that it will be
wiped out by the sword. Congress is
alone responsible for its existence
within the jurisdiction of the Unite d
States, and whether there is war or
peace the foul stain should be wiped
Quit has disgraced the country long
enough.

WESTERN DISPATCHES
ESPECIAL TO THE SILVER STATE.
FROM UTAH.

OGDEN, August 10.
Up to late hour tonight reports of
Indian infringements on the town of
Corinne were discredited aud looked
upon as needless fear and excitement,
but advices to Y o'clock tonight are
of the most startling nature, and have
given rise to considerable fear. The
Indians, numbering 500 men, women
and children have been lowering
around the city for three days. Yes
terday the squaws and pappooses We're
sent away, and the warriors, number
ing about 1000, moved along nearer TO
town. In the afternoon many Indians
entered town, demanding whisky; WIS.,
tied private residences, and insulted
women. These actions, together with
the mysterious movements of the saw
ages, who are under command of John
Hill. the noted Mormon guide, Indian
interpreter and Destroying Angel, gave
rise to grave fears. Tonight the arms
in the Government warehouse were
turned orer to the citizens. All the
women and children were sent out on
the night trains, and the men prepared
for an attack, which, from the reported
movements of the Indians, at this hour
appears imminent. Considerable ex-
element prevails here, and the Gen
tiles are arming and preparing to take
the 3 o'clock morning train for the
scene of action. The Indians are
armed with 16-shooter Henry rifles,
mostly new. While no attack by the
Indians may be Intended, yet their
mysterious movements in leaving their
reservation, coming heavily armed,
arrayed in war paint, and sending their
squaws and children back, together
with the threats of the Mormons since
the commencement of the trial of the
Mountain Meadows massacre, causes a
general feeling of distrust, and should
the Mormons be foolish enough to en-
courage the Indians to begin war q
terrible time of bloodshed will ensue.

HOW LUNATICS ARE TREATED
All WASHINGTON.

They have strange ways of doing
things at the National Capital, and not
withstanding the laws which govern the
country are enacted there, but little at
tention is paid to many of them. Some
twenty years since Congress passed an
act providing for an institution known
as the Government Hospital for the
Insane" Its object was to afford the
the most humane care and enlightened
treatment to the insane OF the army and
navy of the United States, and of the
District of Columbia. BY Congress
sional appropriations the asylum has
grown into large proportions, with fine
buildings, grounds and all the improve
ments which experience proved to be
necessary for the object to which it is
devoted, and the last report OF the
Board of Visitors, shows that there
were under treatment at the time 602
persons, of whom 403 belonged or had
belonged to the amy and navy, and
$50 to civil life. OF this number oO
paid the cost of their support and care,
and the rest were supported by the
Government, by whose authority and
hherality 1t is conducted and main
tanned. An outrage has recently been
perpetrated by the officers OF the
asylum. which has just been made pub
lie, and which should certainly lead to
searchin. investigation OF its manage
ment by Congress. On the night OF
June 18th two policemen, acting under
instructions from the officers OF the
asylum, took three patients, one white
and two colored, III an omnibus to
Prince Georges county, Maryland,
and at dead OF night lett the insane
creatures III the woods, without food or
shelter, to shift tor themselves.
The excuse for this act of barbarism
is that the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia desired to reduce ex-
peuses at the asylum, aud that the
persons We're non-residents of the Dis
trict. II in of that. people of Neya-
da, who ale looked upon by the elite Of
Washington as semi-barbariausl What
would be thought OF 1t in this State
should the authorities of Washoe, or
Ormsby, or any of the border counties
of Nevada take lunatics over the line
in the dead of night, and leave them
helpless and alone III the Sierra, upon
the pretext that they were residents of
California? Yet that is precisely what
the officers Of the Government Insane
Asylum at Washington have done, AID
the outrage is allowed to pass without
comment from the Government Or

New York, August 10.

A'H" AOhA, huShoI ~
BY correspondence of the American
Press Association, the following are
the latest South American advices:
For some time past Panama has ex-
perienced much trouble with its gas,
the origin of which lies at the failure
of the Government to pay its bills, or
keep its other obligations with the gas
company. In consequence of this the
city has been in entire darkness for
more than a week.
The State of Magdalena is reported
in open conflict with the General Gov
eminent, and fighting is going on be-
tween the respective forces. Trouble
may be expected throughout more of
the States of the Confederation, not
withstanding the treaty entered into
between Panama and the National
Government. A feeling of anxiety is
again being created here, and it is i'm.
possible to predict how long the treaty
will be successfully maintained. 1t is
understood that troops haze been or
dered to Panama, but whether with
hostile intent is not known. A guam
tity of arms for the use of the rebel
lious States was purchased here yester-
day.
WASHINGTON, August 10.
Peru has had another revolutionary
scare in the south. Vessels and SOL
diers were ordered to repair to the
scene from Callao. About sixty men
revolted in the name of Pierolle. They
were met by the Acquipa Guards near
Acquipa, and dispersed, leaving their
leader MORALLY wounded. The Friars
of the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy
are implicated in the revolt. A large

alias Miller, the bigamist and defaulter.
Yesterday the railroad officials were
cited to appear in the Twelfth Dis
trict Court and show cause why they
should not produce the body of the
defaulter. Charles Crocker testified
that Miller had not been in his Gus
tody or under his control, and that he
had not seen him for two weeks. The
further hearing of the case was con-
tinued until to-day. 1t appears that
the bird has flown, and that the officers
are two weeks too late. While there
was an opportunity to arrest Miller, no
effort was made to do so; and now
there is no probability that he will be
found.

PANAMA, August /.
On the night of the 9th Of July
one of the most horrible railroad acct
dents that has ever happened to Chile
occurred on the Santiago and Valpa-
raise road. AS the 1870 P. NJ. train
from Valparaiso was passing over the
bridge ut Limache, that structure gave
way, and with the exception Of the en-
CINE and tender, the whole train, con-
tanning fifty persons, was precipitated
into the river below. The lamps were
broken in the fall, and the oil running
over, ignited and set fire to the larger
part of the wreck. The papers state
that over one-half of the passengers
were either crushed to death or per-
ished by fire or water. Investigation
shows that the accident was caused by
a defect in the bridge, which was con-
demned by the engineers several
months ago, without any measures be-
ing taken to remedy it.
The frost was SO severe in the
Province of Ramadaque, Chile, that
four persons were frozen to death.
The late political revolt at San Mag
men, San Salvador, seems to have been
much worse than reported. The loss
by robbery aud fire amounts to more
than 81 600, 000

THE VIRGINIA CITY FIRE.-A fire
broke out in dwelling house Of Virginia
City, on Tuesday morning and before its
progress could be checked, the entire
business portion Of the city was laid in
ashes. The county buildings, printing
offices, hotels, Pper's Opera House, and
the hoisting works Of the Consolidated
Virginia and Ophir mines are among the
structures mentioned as having been de-
stroyed by the devastating element
Thousands Of people are homeless and
great suffering among them must inevi-
taby follow. The loss Of life has forum
ately been small, only two cases being
known so far. The destruction of prop
city is roughly estimated at FIVE millions,
about one-thi:d of which is covered by
insurance, mostly in foreign companies
able to stand the loss. A high wind was
prevailing at the time, and the efforts OF
the fire department (Which appears to have
been badly directed) were of no avail.
The news created great excitement in
San Francisco and on the opening of the
stock boards, stocks Of all kinds fell until
the shrinkage in value of the Comstock
mines reached $25, ,OOO,O 600. Sacramento
and other cities are taking active meas
ures for the relief of the Virginia suffer
ers, and contributions of goods, money,
and provisions are nov being literally
forwarded.

PREMATURE REPENTANCE An in
stance Of death bed repentance, which
may be called remarkable, has just oc-
CURED in Butler county, Kentucky. A
man who was very i'll, confident that his
last hour was approao hing, sent for a
magistrate and made a confession that in
1870 he had murdered man named
Mitchell, on Green river. His story was
that during the war be and Mitchell had
robbed a man named Davenport, in an
other county, and that in division OF the
spoils Mitchell had taken more than bis
share. In revenge, the sef-coniessed
murderer had watched his victim more
than ten years with the purpose of killing
him, and ut last when favorable oppor-
tunity presented itself, he shot him thro'
the heat. Mitchell when shot, was
standing on a barge and his body fell in
10 the river. 1t was never found, and
although suspicious Of foul play were en-
tertained, there was no proof even of his
death. The man who fired the fatal shot
having eNsed his conscience by confession
began to get well Immediately, and now
promises to regain his health entirely.
In the meantime the officers are prepar-
ing to arrest and prosecute him whenever
he has recovered sufficiently to be re-
moved from his bed.

ONE GOOD RESULT.

For the first time since it was put into
practice, the special judicial election has
had the effect intended by those who
changed the constitution Of the State. No
one will deny but the election of Mr.. Carr
to the State Superntendency could not
have been accomplished if the election OF
that officer had taken place the same time
other State officers were chosen. So
strong would have been the shackles Of
party combined with the fact that the
Independents had Il candidate of their
own in the field that beyond a peradven-
ture the entire Democratic ticket would
have been carried through and Fitzger-
aids majority would only have been less
than that of the others. As II was the
lessness Of success withdrew from the
contest, the Republicans united on Carr,
and with the aid Of the many Democrats
who are disposed to put the man above
party, the State has reversed the decision
Of the Septem Der election for the first
time in its history and given its October
election the opposite way.
Ii this principle were brought into gem
era practice the people could afford the
trouble and expense Of the two separate
elections in one year. If politics were
ignored in the choice OF judicial and ed
ucatioual officers to the extent which the
last election has shown, the object de-
signed by the constitutional amendment
would be secured and those who supported
the change be satisfied with the result Of
/ their experiment. Does the experience
Of past years justly us in the belief? Take
the election in 1869 as an example. Then
/ the Democrats carried the State over.
wheImingly in September, and followed il
up BY Getting all judicial officers voted fol
next month, every District Judge elected
in the State being Of that political faith
The same result, though not to so great
/ an extent, followed the Republican vic
/ tories in 1868, 65 and II and the Demo
cratic triumph in 1867. This year has
been the first IN which the people have
rose above party, and as it was in this
county, SO it appears to have been every
where. Carr has had the confidence of
the people and the judicial tickets which
he headed have, in many instances been
carried triumphantIy along.
We have no desire to claim this as a
Republicans triumph, although achieved
under Republican auspices. 1t is essen
TALLY Il triumph OF intelligence and good
government. At the same time it shows
what the Republican party can effect
when united and acting harmoniously
In union there is strength in division
lies our only weakness. But be that as
it may, it affords US pleasure to chronicle
the fact that one good result has followed
the change in our elections, even though
ii has taken many years to bring it about

distance of more than thirty miles. Pla-
Ger mining is almost the sole occupation,
but of late, some of the old settlers, re-
membering the rich spots and big pieces
found in early years, are stirring them
selves in the search for quartz. 1t is the
belief that on Pony creek quartz veins
exist from which that stream drew its big
pay in former years, and some who work.
ed the stream intend searching for the
rotten lodges passed over then when their
value was unthought of. The country is
so difficult of access, that no machinery
for mining can be packed in unless a: a
great expense, and in the Winter time it
would be an impossibility.
