A Jubilant Reporter.

The more we think it over, the NOR
we congratulate ourselves that we dldn''
90 as reporter with the Indian expe-
dition, for, although it is very pleasant
to write up long Indian fight, 1t rather
knocks the romance out of 1t to write
up the item in paradise, or in case that
no passes arc granted to editors and re-
porters, to be obliged to get up an &C.
count of the engagement on tre'proot
parchment. and run the risk OF sec'1lr"
inc reliable medium by which to con
yey it to our paper. All these things
taken into consideration we are glad
we didn't 20. Of course what the.
country needs IS good patriotlc volun"
teers, to go forward and sustain the 1lag'
and all that sort Of thing, but the reas-
on we don't banker for such active life
is that we object to being promoted SO
nrecipitately. We have never been
noted for our precipitation, and to be
promoted from an ordinary newspaper
renorter to q shining angel without
eca,o is an honor to which We do not
aspire.
There is something about being SEN.
home without any liver or digestive ap-
paratus, and spinal column With only
five or six good whole vertebr@ IN 1t,
that always strikes chill to our patri-
otism. And to think how man is la
b]e to have a tomahawk in among his
vitals when he is thinking about some
thing else. and to be cut down in a
moment. in the twinkling of an eye,
with his stockings on and two or three
susne nder buttons gone, and an unpaid
wash.bill in his pockets and never
know how large majority Hayes and
Wheeler got, all these things seem to
convince us that the government don't
need raw recruits to fight the Sioux,
hut on the contrary ole and tried SOL
diers are needed. No one doubts our
natriotism or our courage. We have
t.killed Indians" and yet we do not say
it boastingly, for they were not those
;ll.tempered ones in the mountains that
pine for the gore of newspaper men, and
would like to have our pale-blonde hair
to ornament their buckskin Greecian
bends.
OF course their isn't much fun in be-
ing local editor and getting licked
every day for giving some ill.tempered
man pleasant little puff, but we'd rath-
er do it, and see the circus once IN a
while, than to spend the summer with the
Hebrew children and Lazarus, while the
bloody Sioux perform the difficult hg..
ures of the ''can-can" around lock OF
our sorrel back hair.-LGranase Se'ata-
mel.

teams were all overloaded and were
making slow progress. Sam. Whitney
had lost an OK and Miller & Mop Pherson

Terry and Custer.

Lieutenant John Garland, Of company
B, Sixth infantry, writes to his friends
in Detroit:
Gen. Terry and the remaining officers
are feeling very badly, ! was standing
by General Custer when General Terry
came up, and as he looked down upon
the noble general the tears coursed
down his face as he said - go
.The flower Of the army is gone at
last"
Custer was supposed to be the first
one whod died, but though he fell first we
found seventeen cartridge shells by his
side, where he had kept them off until
the last moment. There can no blame
be attached to any one for this fearful
slaughter. If Custer had had the whole
regiment it would only have been worse,
as the Sioux were too many.

tercsted.
Elsewhere we speak of the Black Hills
giving Capt. Morrills idea Of the mines
and his view of the quartz leads devel-
oped. We have later information from
Don Stevenson who brought in about
800 pounds of quartz specimens, princl-
pally from the Woolsey lead situated
on Deadwood about two miles from
Deadwood City. The lead is II feet
wide. has wall rock on one side and
slate on the other. The owners have
tunnelled into it S5 feet and have taken
ont about six hundred tons of rock.
From the top Of the ledge to the tun-
mel the distance is about 65 feet. Of
course none have any idea as to its
depth. The quartz is generally rotten
and much of 1t can be broken between
the thumb and finger. Most of it shows
gold to the naked eye-all Of it is ex-
C. cceedinglv rich, and the dirt in between
the pieces of rock-the ledge is not
solid but broken into fragments, some
no larger than hickory nuts, some
weighing several hundred pounds with
all sizes between is very rich
and pays frequently as high as fifty
cents to the pan. @'-s !u la. @oof
At Hollembaek's drug store, on Mon
day. Mr.. Stevenson crushed in COM
mon 10, druggists mortar twenty.eight
ounces of this quartz which yielded in
coarse fakes of gold from the size of a
crushed mustard seed to the size of a
crushed pin head, forty-four cents:
None Of the -four gold was saved. Had
the gold been gathered with quicksilver
so as to save all of the fine particles the
result would have proven much more
favorable. As it is the product is $5056
to the ton. Another assay was made
with still less care Of the poorest speci-
mems which proved twenty-five hundred
dollars to the ton.
Several other leads equally rich have
also been discovered in the vicinity OF
the Woolsey lode,in which Mr.. Steven
son and W. B. Shaw have secured an
interest, known as follows: California

miner, is interested in the Ida Gray

We hesitate to draw conclusions.
We have stated above facts that are
we'll vouehed for, and will only add
that in the Woolsey lode alone there
are millions of tons of rock which will

Midnight was passed, and the moon slid

the determined will which had always

my testimony, which was given

SIMEON CHANEY.
Ottumwa, March %, 1866.

The following paragraph from an
article In Haper's Weekly entitled
"a Moral from the Granite State"
tells, in few words, why the people
of New Hampshire could not and did
not jump out of the Republican fry
ing pan into the Democratic fire;
why they believed in cooling the fry
ing pan-parifying the party-in
preference to adding fuel to the
flames--increasing the strength OF an
organization that never can be pnri-
fed:
Ifthe Democratic party had shown
from the autumn of 1874, when it
made great gains everywhere, that it
was a party of intelligence, patriot
ism, courage, sagacity, and reform:
If it had elected Senators and other
officers whose character and careers
were the evidence of those qualities
and such a purpose; if it had boldly
and ably and unitedly grappIed with
the great questions before the hecountry,
and appealed, by its policy and its
measures and spirit, to the approval
of the people, showing that it had
broken utterly with its Copperheai
and reactionnry and demagogi,al
traditions-New Hampshire would
not, i'm the very hour of the Belknae
exposure and of the whisky trials,
have largely increased its Repuhli-
can majority. That the Democratic
party has not done this is because it
could not. The composition. the
traditions, the inevitable tendencies,
OF the party cannot be changed by
the wishes of few Democrats. New
Hampshire, with the whole country,
wishes reform, but 1t believes that
real progress is more probable under
Republican than under Democratic
ascendency, and 1t has voted accord
ingly.
