The Winnemucca Silver State of the
9Th instant says: Usually the Hum
boldt river is among the crookedest in
the world. 1t winds through the bottom
doubling on itself like huge snake, and
runs and twists ia every direction as if
uncertain what course to follow. Now
its bends and sinuosities have disap-
peared, and the whole bottom is
covered with water. Hay ranches are
submerged, and in many instances the
fences which, divided them, are covered.
Fortunately there has not been much
current to the stream, which is more
like a lake than river, or the fences
and the levees on the bottom would be
swept away. The tributaries of the
Humboldt are also higher than for years.
Richie. who arrived yesterday from
Eden Valley, informs US that Martin
creek, Cotton Wood and Little Hum
boldt are higher than he ever saw them.
The lower end of Paradise Valley is
covered with a lake, and higher up the
Little Humboldt the volume of water
appears to be much larger than at its
mouth. Although the weather is IN
usually cold for the season, there is a
rushing, roaring torrent in every ravine,
caused by melting SHOWS in the noun
tains."

tern Border, One Hundred Years Ago." by
Chas. Mcknight, author of ''S;mon Girty"
and "Old Fort Duquesne." 1t is a large,
elegant, well-printed, superbly and beauti-
fully illustrated octave, of nearly eight
hundred pages, filled with the stirring

Logan, IIarrod, McCol.oc McClellen, the
Poes, the Zanes, and the Wetzcls. 1t con-
tains the very cream of all the rare old
Border Chronicles, together with vast
amount Of fresh and original matter, the
whole work embracing strange and thrill
ing narratives of daring deeds, desperate
conflicts, exciting adventures, touching
captivities, and is claimed to be the best,
fullest and most complete. and most relia-
bic portrayal of Border life, struggle an6

"Our Western Border" has the unmis :
takenable flavor of the soil and the free air
of the wilderness about it. 1t is square,
honest and exhaustive work. without any
of the usual padding" Although sold
for $3, it is equal in extent of contents to
the ordinary book of SIS, and is meeting
with remarkable popular favor. 1t is most
warmly endorsed by leading Dvines and
Historians: Gen. Bierce, of Ohio, says,

Mcknight is doing for the west, what
Cooper did for new York, but the pictures
of the form er have undoubtedly less of the
glamour of romance, and more Of the truth
Of historic painting" Sold only by Agents

On Monday Mr.. Whitthorne. CHI

On Monday Mr.. Whitthorne, chair
man of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, denounced as utterly unfound-
ed and wholly unwarranted the rumor
published to the effect that Secretary
Robson has been guilty of improper
transactions in his official relations,
Nothing has been adduced before the
committee to sustain any charges
against the Secretary or any one con-
nected with him. This is most graft
flying intelligence, and should be a
warning to people not to believe too
readily reckless accusations made
against men in public positions. While
we yield to uone in our desire to let Q
guilty man escape, we are equally in
favor of shielding the innocent from
unjust and hurtful aspersion.

Sphinx Bowen is the discoverer of a
brand new principle which is supposed
to pertain to jurisprudence. 1t is pat
entable for its novelty, for its utility,
and its protection against the conse-
quences of the crime of perjury. None
but the Coolest member" could ever
have evolved the giant thought. The
principle is more difficult to describe
than to apply For instance he de-
clares to the world that Beecher is
guilty of "adultery, perjury and hypo-
crisy." He is called before the church
council to deliver his proofs. Motives
of propriety, to the living or dead, or
those who ought to be dead, forbid his
speaking, and not line of evidence,
such as would be competent in a JUS
tees court, is given by him. Now
the principle discovered by Mr.. Bowen
when anglioized is this: Charge a
man with the most heinous offenses
known to the laws; publish them in all
the newspapers in the land, and when
called upon for the pro offs plead motives
of propriety as an excuse tor withhold
ing them altogether. In this manner
one half the world will believe his VIC
tim guilty of all that is charged, and
the accuser will escape States prison
by avoiding the perjury that would be
required to make good his charge.
The fact is Bowen's charge against
Beecher was scarcely broad enough.
We suggest that he revise it. Let it
read: "Beecher is guilty of adultery,
perjury, hypocrisy and the publication
of The Christian Union" In this way
the world will be informed of the full
measure Of Beecher's guilt.-Milsoau-
kee Sentinel.

The Prairie du CHEN Courier (Dem-
cratic) publishes call for an independ-
emit mass conven ton to be held as Bos-
cobel on the 21st inst, to take some
action in relation to the coming judi
cial election. Just what action, the
call does not state, but as Moses M
Strong is very busy writing letters to
his friends, urging them to attend this
convention, it is safe to infer that it is
called in his interest.
A few weeks since, Moses started
out as a heightened, self-nominated
independent candidate, free from the
corrupting influence of party conven
ton and "the questionably-obtain d
endorsement Of few influential
friends;" but finding that his own indi
vidual endorsements la Woolsey-

mated Democratic candidate for Circuit
Judge, is busy procuring certificates
establishing his innoce nee Of having
been guilty of bribery corruptions and
of being common drunkard. We
are glad to note that he has received a
letter from Hon. James Knowlton, one
of the committee of the Legislature of
1858, which investigated the matter,
clearing him of any participation in
the. bribery of the Legislature of 1856,
and also that number Of reputable
citizens of Mineral Point have signed
a certificate that he is not in the daily
habit of using intoxicating liquors to
excess. But wouldn't it have been
better, Moses, to have led such a life
as would have placed you now, in your
old age, above the suspicion of such
things.

The question of the juri sdiction of
the Senate in the mpeachment of per-
sons who have been, but are no longer,
officers of the government, is one Of
more Importance than was at first i'm
agined, and the Republicans are even
more anxious than the Democrats to
have precedent established. Should
the Senate decide that it has power to
impeach General Belknap, certain
members of Congress who were officers
of this government, and who stole large
sums of money to carry with them in
to the rebellion, will find themselves
in very undesirable position. Crimi-
nal prosecutions against them are pre-
vented by the statute of limitations,
but they can be impeached should a
precedent be established.
Hill. of Georgia, has mission to
perform, or thinks he has. 1t is to
convince the people of the North that
they, and not the people of the South,
were in rebellion. He has prepared a
speech on the subject, and will deliver
it at the first opportunity. His Demo
cratic friends are terrified at the pros
pect, and have vainly begged him to de
sist; to be content with the good he has
already done the party by his speech
making. He will not listen to them
He knows be can convert the North
to his way of thinking, aud he's going
to do it. People of the North, prepare
to become converted!
