AN INaRATE.-Rapbael Semmes is
man without d country. He tried
to destroy the Union aud to build up
a Confederate Government, but the
empire whose cornerstone was slavery
has disappeared beneath the tide of
time, leaving him disconsolate or
phan. He now advises the South not
to take part In the Centennial celebra-
ton. He is like a man who attempt
ed to murder his mother and having
failed, now hates to have her birthday
celebrated. [ is rebuke to his treas.
on.
The life of Semmes should be
warning to his countrymen. Born in
1910, he was appointed midshipman
when but lad of Is, and was success
fully honored with promotion until 81
years Of age. He then turned his
back on the old flag, took command of
confederate cruiser, aud made war
on the Government that had educated.
fed, clothed and given him position
ior over thirty years. Old, obstinate,
unrepentadt; a conspicuous relic of
the lost cause, Semmes is one of the
most melancholy figures in recent his
tory. Madison journal.

night, killing vegetables and seriously
damaging, if not killing fruit.
A heavy west and Northwest wind
has prevailed here for the last 36 hours
extending as far south as Montgomery,
Ala. This morning the ice here was
a quarter of an inch thick. The
weather is very cold.
Ice formed an eighth of an inch
thick at Corinth, Miss. All exposed
navigation is frozen here this morning

In 2:l8. The next two heats were
won by him in 2:l83 and 2:20, max
ing Red Cloud the winner of the fast
est five heat race ever trotted. He
had shown signs of lameness all the
season, and after this race the symp-
toms were aggravated, and Gloster and
Nettle got the better of him in the
race that followed. At Rochester he
made dead heat with Gloster in 2.1S,
but lost the race. At Mystic Park be
was again defeated by Gloster, but got
first and seconds heats in 2-19 and
2-2O, At Beacon Park he won the
first heat, but lost the race to Nettie,
she making 2-l8 in the third heat
This, we believe, was his last race of
the season, and he was then taken
back to his Indiana home. He had
trotted and won seventeen heats dur
Ing the season, in better time than his
previous record, seven of the number
being in 2-20 and better, and right
we'll he had deserved rest after such
terrible campaign. Reports say that
he IS wlnterlng finely, with every pros
pect OF coming out entirely cured Of
his lameness this year IF this should
prove true, which we earnestly hope
may be the case, the horses that can
successfully cope with him in the free
for all purses this sea son, now that his
great rival, Gloster, is dead, will be few
and far between.
THE MORMON MAssACRE.-At Bea-
yer City, Utah, on the 10th, Judge
Boreman charged the grand jury in
reference to the Mountain Meadow
massacre, by Mormons in 1857, the
facts of which have only lately been
made public, as follows:
=" Your attention is called to this in
human butchery, and, if any of YOU
know anything about this horrible
deed, 1t is your sworn duty to divulge
1t. 1t is not expected that all the
partlclqators will be punished. Many
were forced into it tor fear of their
own lives, some Of whom were mere
boys. You should ask these to now
come forth, clear their own consciences
and help bring to justice the leaders
and active participators Of this most
atroclous crime, the very thought of
which causes the human blood to cur
die in our VEINS"
Major John D. Lee (the man who
led the slaughter, ordered by Brigham,
the twelve apostles" and other Nor
mon leaders) and Colonel Dame, are
the only criminals under arrest. The
others under indictment have fed to
the mountains. The case was called
tor trial on Monday, but postponed,
with a view of capturing more of the
culprits.

NEARLY FINISHED. - Superintendent
Patterson, Of the Philadelphia Smelling
Company. informs us that the construc-
ton of the furnace at Shermantown is
nearly completed, and that on the arrival
of some needed machinery, it will require
only a few days more to have the smelter
in complete running order. There is a
large amount of ore in this district COM
monty called copper-silver ore, and it
has generally been thought the copper
could not be saved. Mr.. Patterson feels
very confident that his process of work
ing will save all the copper. We are
anxious to see the new process of work
ing tried. p
CoPARTNERsHrP.-Caspe Schmidt and
George Merger have formed a copartner-
ship for the purpose of manufacturing
lager beer, and the establishment is to be
known as the St. Louis Brewery. The
reputation of the brewery is so well
known that it is unnecessary for us to say
anything in its praise. Mr.. Merger, of
the new firm, is well and favorably
known throughout the county, and will
be a valuable acquisition to the bust
ness. Everybody knows Caspar to be a
jolly, good fellow. We return thanks to
the new firm for a key Of their excellent
beer. The typos wish them unbounded
success in their business.
WARD DIsrRIcr.-Mr. VIM. HI. Gauley,
one of the proprietors of the Paymaster
mine, in Ward District, left here yester-
day for San Francisco. He informed us
that the mine is looking splendid. and
that as development is made, larger and
richer bodies of ore are discovered. The
company have just shipped fifteen tons
of ore to San Francisco that will work
not less than $500 per ton. Mr.. Gauley
informs US that vigorous work will be
done on the mine during the coming
Winter, and that no works will erected
until next Spring.
MORE RACING.-A half-mile race will
take place at Duck Greek on the 18th Of
October next for a purse of SO, 900. We
are informed that three very good horses
have been entered for the purse. The
race will be run over Blanchard's mile
track. AS o as more particulars Of
the race can be learned we will publish
them.
No RUN.-Wm. Pardy, Cashier of the
White Pine County Bank. informs US
that if there was any run upon the bank
it was not perceptible to him; but, for
fear that some of his depositors might
get shaky, he telegraphed to headquarters
for a supply of coin, which arrived here
several days ago.
CoLD WEATHER.-For the past week
the mornings and evenings have been
quite cold here, and the high winds
and clouds of dust that have been cavort-
ing through the streets have been any
thing but pleasant. All the indications
now point to an early Winter.
