Last evening, SAYS the Salt Lake
Tribune, we received a call from Mr..
Nuckolls, who has just returned from
the Los Vegas country, in Southwest
Nevada, neal the California line. He
and several other men prospected the
country during the summer, and sue
ceeded in finding some very rich min
eral-horn silver, copper and lead
specimens OF which he brought IN
with him. The outlook is quite prom
isiug, and Mr.. Nuckolls intends re-
turning as soon as he can make ar
rangements.
The Reno Journal of the 18th has
the following: We have received in
formation that Carson is contributing
money for the purpose of sending an

ton to continue the work on the new
State Prison at Reno, and retain the
Carson prison as The State Prison.
This agent is about to start out on his
tour.
We are indeb'ed, says the Carson

A man, whose name is not given, en-
tered the Office of the Reno Gazette

MARK TWAIN ON CIVIL SER
VICE REFORM.

Mark Twain made some remarks at
a Republican meeting in Hartford, re-
Gently. Here is an extract: "Our
present civil service system, is so
idiotic, so contemplate, so g~rotesque,
that it would make the very savages
of Dahomey jeer and the very gods of
solemnity laugh. We will not hire a
blacksmith who never lifted a sledge;
we will not hire a school-teacher who
does not know the alphabet; we will
not have a mar around us in our bust
ness life, in any walk of 1t, low or high,
unless he has served an apprentice
ship and "a prove that he is capable
of doing the work he offers to do. We

pause by speaker, that he shall at
least know which side of the pipe is
the inside. [Roars Of l%aughter.l But

THE CAMBOY MASSACRE.

We would direct the especial atten
ton of our readers to the Geographic
dispatch in another column from
Charleston, &C., relative to the killing
aud woundiny of a number of I'M
armed whites at Camboy, fourteen
miles from Charleston, by a gang of ne
groes organized under the name of the
State Militia, and under the direct con
troll of Chamberlain, the carpet bag
Governor, who has now a delegation
in Washington clamoring for more
Government troops to protect the col
ored uote7s against the violence Of the
Whites at the ensuing election. The
circumstances of the massacre, as re-
ported in the dispatch, are as follows:
A joint political meeting was held at
Camboy, in relation to which it had
been agreed by both parties that every
body should go unarmed, to avoid the
possibility of any serious disturbances
arising during the heat of the political
debate. The whites, and doubtless
the colored Democrats, acting in good
but it appears that the detachment of
colored State Militia, which is nothing
more nor less than a political club, or
ganized and manipulated by the Cham
berlain gang of carpet baggers, treach-
erously secreted their guns in the
bushes, a short distance from the
place where the meeting was held, and
when the disturbance, which vas
doubtless precoucerted and arranged
by the directors of the murder0us
gang, arose, the blacks seized their
weapons and poured a volley among
the unarmed whites, killing two aud
wounding fourteen others. The sur
viving and ~unwounded whites, to save
their lives, retreated and managed to
get on board a vessel which conveyed
them to Charleston. Suppose the
thing had been reversed, and the same
number of blacks hal been
killed and wounded under the
same circumstances, what a how
would have gone forth from the
Radical speakers and press through
out the length and breath oil
the land; how they would have
waved the bloody shirt anew, and
what a prolific source of sensational
horrors it would have proven to melo-
dramatic orators OF the Tom Fitch
style to arouse the passions of the peo-
pie of the North against their brethren
in the South; how quickly would the
occurrence have been seized upon by
the leaders in Washington to swarm
the State with Government troops; in
short, what a sweet campaign plum
it would have proven for the Repub-
lican pudding, and how the bread-and-
butter brigade would have rolled the
sweet morsel under their tongues in
anticipation of the glorious effect it
would have had upon the vote in the
doubtful States on the seventh of next
month. But, unfortunately for them,
a true statement of the affair has
reached the people of the North, who
have long been ~wavering in their be-
lief in the bloody shirt business, and
the last remnant of that e%nsanguined
garment has been used up in wadding
for the guns which the miserable tools
of an infamous Governor turned a
couple of days ago upon the little
band of unarmed whites at Camboy.

WREN n HART.-'Canfeld," a
correspondent OF the Enterprise, writ
ing from this place, thus alludes to Mr..
Wren's reception on his return to the
Base Range from the west: .'Fred.
Hart, in a feeling speech, congratulated
him on his safe return unscathed by
the many temptations that assail a Wis.
itor to your metropolis. 1t was q sub
ject that Fred. could we'll dilate on as
his recent experience in Virginia City
during the session of the State Conven.
ton was a great trial to his well known
modesty and virtue. AS one listens to
the tales of his temptations and es-
capes, he no longer wonders at the quail
ifications hat made him so bright an
ornament of the famous Austin Club"
The many friends of these guileless
gentlemen in Eureka will be delighted
to learn That they ran the gauntlet Of
the Comstock and escaped"unscathed."
Fred, in particular, was not always in
such excellent luck.

HEAVY CHARGE AGAINST LIN.
GlaHA

Blaine has proven to the satisfaction
of the Virginia Enterprise that Charles
Francis Adams, while a member of
Congress at the breaking out of the
war, was a rebel and a traitor. What
an Infamous act it was ia President
Lincoln to appoint such a rank seces-
sionist at so critical a period to repre-
sent II Government at the court OF
the first Power in Europe = Eureka

State the case fairly, neighbor. Mr..
Lincoln did not find him a g rebel and
a traitor but only a coward who
held that the peaceful trade of Massa-
chusetts was of more significance than
the union of these States-EnteTpriSc.
Well, then, what an infamous act OF
Mr.. Lincoln to appoint a coward who

EASILY EXPLAINED. The Carson
appeal cannot see why our old friend,
Moses Tebbs, of Mud Springs, who
has been nominated for District At
torney of Douglas county by the In

Democrats. We presume that Uncle
Moses, like a sensible man, fully real
ICES tie fallacy of the doctrine of ''re-
form within the party" and has shaped
his curse accordingly. Besides, we
know that he has always had a hank

The joint canvass in Charleston coun

which has been in progress for some

Camboy, about 9 miles from here. II
had been agreed that both whites and
blacks should attend the meeting with
out arms. During the speaking an al
tercation arose between two individu-
ais of opposite parties. A shot having
been fired by one of them, the negroes
belonging to the State Militia and COM
posing a large majority of the meeting
secured their muskets, which were Sc
GREETED near by, and a volley was fired
into the unarmed whites from bushes
skirting the neighboring ravines. The
whites being few in numter and al
together unprepared for fight retreated
10 the steamer which had brought
them from the city, but not before two
of their number were killed and four
teen wounded. The dead were left in
possession of the negroes. About so
armed whites left the city this even
ing for CambOy to recover the bodies
and to afford protection to the whites
of that vicinity, who are in dread of be-
ing attacked or burned out.
