Son to Big HOrn.'

The immense and constantly inereas-
ing immigration to the new gold fields
of the north is destined to completely
overflow the Black Hills, and before the
close of III or early in '7S, at the far
thest, the cry of son to Big Horn' will
be heard in the land and the myriads of
gold seekers will pass thither. Here
with we give with as great accuracy as
possible a table of distances from

THE BLACK HILLS.
Facts of Interest to Those Who
are Going There.
Cheyenne as an Quitting
-oasC Point.

In answer to the many communion
tons which we receive daily, we have
compiled the following budget of infor-
nation, for the benefit of all those who
are afflicted with the Black Hills fever.
While it is not as complete as we
might desire and promise to make it,
we think it will answer most of the
questions asked. The first query pro-
pounded is whether we really believe
there is gold in the Black Hills. This
has been too well proven to admit of
doubt. Good judges who have the
means of knowing, estimate the amount
of gold brought from the Hills during
the year 1876, at a million and a half of
dollars; as much more remains undoubt-
ly in the hands of miners and merchants
in the several settlements; for it is only
recently that the Cheyenne and Black
Hills Stage company has commenced
to carry gold dust with a guarantee of
safe delivery.
Gold is found in paying quantities in
nearly all the mining districts opened.
The richest discoveries in placer and
quartz mining have, however, been
made on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, and along these creeks cluster
the principal mining towns in the Black
Hills.
Owing to the hostility of the Indians
the mountain ranges west and north of
Deadwood received last year but lit
tie attention from the prospector; but
it is known that that section also
abounds in gold and silver, which dur
ing the present year will be brought to
light by the hardy miner.
How to Reach the Black Hills.
Without Ioorxr;no opu Of fha propno-
ed routes from points on the Upper
Missouri river, we assert that the route
from Cheyenne northward is the safest,
speediest, cheapest and best to reach the
Black Hills. Cheyenne is at the juno
ton of the two competing railroads from
the East-the Union Pacific and Kan
sas Pacific. 1t will be two days rail-
road travel to Cheyenne from Chicago
or st. Louis. The following table will
show the distance and present rate of
fare from these two points to Cheyenne:

A fine natural road, over which the
United States mails have been carried
for many years, leads from Cheyenne
to Fort Laramie, a distance of ninety
miles. This route passes through a
settled country, and good ranches are
found at convenient distances from
each other. From Fort Laramie to
Custer and Deadwood City a good wag-
on road is found, which has recently
been shortened by our county officers,
thus reducing the distance necessary to
be Travelled by freight teams over sixty
miles. . The whole distance from Chey-
enne to Deadwood over thisroadis about
two hundred and thirty miles. The

EDITORS BULLETIN: reader of your
paper was highly gratifed to see that you
admire and believe the Bible doctrine so
clearly set forth, you tell us, by the Rev.
Mr., McClusl1y in his sermons on last Sab
bath. was not permitted to hear that di-
vine, but l thank God that there are men
who fearlessly proclaim the truth, whether
men will hear or whether they viii forbear.
Glad you gave us such outlines Of these two
sermons. How precious and comforting the
thought, that while Christians differ on some
doctrines, yet on this foundation, this funda-
mental doctrine, viz: "Christ our only sal
walton" they may, oh! they do meet and
strike hands, and bid one another God
speed in the same glorious work of saliva
ton. And this, sirs, is Christian unity
Christ the head, and all who arc His, by
faith in Him, make the body, the church.
l glory in the thought that in my religion
am not hampered and shut in by deaomina-
t!OnaI lines; nay, no one ex CatlSeS3ra can
compel me to recognize Christians only
members of my own church, When a sim
ner obevs the command, "BcIicSe on the
Lord Jesus Christ" (the text used by the
above-named preacher at night, he is not
only saved but enters the great Catholic
Church, and, of course, the opposite truth is
implied, he who fails to do this is lost, and
though he may succeed in getting his name
on church book, yet he is not in the invisi-
bic church of God, in which all true be-
levers are congregated. Surely the preacher
chose a glorious text at night, coming
among us for the first time as Il herald of
the Cross, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved" 1t teaches
the old, but reviled, Bible doctrine that we
are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ Would that all our preachers be-
lieved that more implicitly and taught it to
their fiocks over whom the Holly Ghost has
made them bishops! Then might we might
we see more real, vital godliness, taking the
place of hollow formality, that deadly incu-
bus, then would We see Christians revived
and sinners converted wholly to God. That
same text was preached from one night in
this town. In the course of his remarks the

men and even protested Christians trusted
for salvation. After church l was walking
behind some young men who were discuss
ing the sermon, One of them, member OF
a church, 1 think, was overheard to say:

The NJ. & X. Narrow Gauge railroad.

Henderson (Tenn.) Weekly Herald: There
is very little news circulating in regard to
this road. Everything seems to be hard at
work trying to make an honest living, not
giving one thought to this project, which
seems to be on standstill for the want of
attention. The crops will be out of the
way in a short time, which will give the
farmers n little leisure to devote to this sub
jcct. We then hope to see the people wake
up and take hold of this matter with zeal.
There has been many a hard lick struck on
this road, and for us to fail at this distant
day in completing 1t, all would be lost. If
Wayne county can raise 100000 for her road
surely We can raise one-third of that
amount for ours. There is as much energy
among the citizens of either Madison or
Hardeman counties rs there is in Wayne
county. Therefore we cannot believe that
the citizen salong the Memphis & Knoxville
railroad are going to see this project fall
through for the want of So, 900. The
citizens of Henderson and vicinity have
shown by their liberality that they are alive
to the Importance of this enterprise. The
following resolution, in regard to raising n
subscription of 100000 to build a railroad
through Wayne county from some point on
the Tennessee river has been endorsed by
the citizens of Wayne COUNTY:
"This subscription is not intended to in
terfere with the legal rights of the NJ. & X.
r. r. Do, subscribed by the county OF
Wayne, of one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars, payable in the bonds OF
said county; but no part of the stock here
after subscribed by individuals is to be pay
able, or the subscribers of said subscription,
or any part there Of in the county OF Wayne
is held to the payment Of the stock sub
scribcd by said county to N. & K. r. r.
Co."

Match Game of Base Ball Last Friday.
A short time ago young men connected
with the different offices OF the depot organ
liked base ball club, and in compliment to
their chief, r. z. Nicely, named it the
l." Nicely Club" Last Wednesday this club
sent challenge to the captain of the old
Bolivar club to play a match on Friday.
Although his club was in disorganized
condition Mr. Armistead accepted the chaI-
Iengc and went to work TO make up club.
There was no time for practice, and Friday
found the Bolivar club confronting the
Nicely without having had any chance to
find out the best positions for each member.
The game commenced At p. m, and was
warmly contested from the start. The Boil
WARS kept ahead till the seventh inning.
when the Nicely club made the remarkable
score OF twelve runs, putting tacm ahead.
The other club could not regain the lead,
though on the ninth inning they made seven
runs. Both clubs have some splendid play
ers, and if "picked nine" were chosen
from the two, it would be hard to beat A
beautiful bouquet was presented by Mrs. w.
T. Armistcad and Miss Jones to the player
making the greatest number of runs-A1r
Morgan, of the Nicely club who, in turn,
presented it to the captain of the nine, Mr.
james burst. Some one Of the Nicely club
telcgraphed the result 10 the Meaaphis Ava-
Uncle, stating that the Neelys won by a
grand score" but neglected to give the
score, which was little unfair to the Boil
var club. Below we give the score by in
nings:
