POSITION OF PIoCHE.-Our old friend
Mr.. Wescuatt, the well-known surveyor,
has favored us with a copy of the fol-
lowing letter, which is quite useful and
interesting as it authoritatively estah-
fishes the true position of Phoebe:
OFFICE OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS,
WASHINGTON, d. CO.
N. WEscoATT, Phoebe, Nevada: Sir
The longitude and latitude of the as
Economical station ct Phoebe, Nevada,
referred to in your letter of the Goth ut.,
is as follows: Longitude, ia deg, 26
min, 1927 sec. W. of Washington; lati-
tude, 81 deg, So min, 26.07 sec. north;
altitude, 5,942.3. By direction of Chief
of Engineers, GEO. H. ELLIOTT
Major of Engineers.
LESS RESTRAINT Mr.. w. W. Bishop,
the distinguished lawyer of this town,
and who is engaged as counsel for J. D.
Lee, under indictment for participation
in the Mountain Meadow Massacre, left
town few days since for Beaver, at
which Post Lee is imprisoned. Since
Mr.. Bishop reached Beaver he writes
word that he has succeeded in obtaining
Lee the liberty of the Post instead OF
being closely confined in the military
prison. AS the question of Lees guilt
or innocence is to be made the subject of
judicial inquiry we make no comments
on his case, but We certainly hope that
proper precautions will be taken so that
when the trial is to take place that the
accused will be forthcoming.

round town yesterday that some mis-
chance had happened to our County AS
SCISSOR r. P. Dayton, owing to Mr.. Las

Mr.. Dayton traded for horse to lead,
if he would lead. and had his saddle and
coat on him, but the horse broke away

things were on him to Phoebe, which
