HOW A MILLION CAN FIND
EMPLOYMENT.
From the Resources of California.

From the Resources of California.
The daily Alta of this city, under this
heading. has the following:
We have said, land our opinion is shared
by professional orcharuist, that there is a
chance for million men in California to
make comfortable homes by cultivating
prunes, apricots, figs, plums and grapes
for dry ing almonds, walnuts aud olives.
The market for fresh fruit is supplied 50
well that there is not much profit IN its
cultivation, unless under exceptional cir
cumstances although there might be, if
some great improvement were made in
the facilities and expense of shipment to
the Eastern States but it will not do to
trust to such contingency. Dry fruits,
nuts, picked olives and olive oil have a
great advantage over fresh fruit in their
keeping qualities and their high price as
compared with the freight. he trees
and vines once planted will not br much
affected by drought, and by their regu-
larlty of yield give a security which the
growing of grain for expectation can never
have in this State.
The cultivation of fruit for drying and
of nuts and olives, however, requires q
special knowledge, persistence and capi-
tai or credit not possessed by many of the
men now seeking opportunities TO pstab
lish themselves and while there are
| chances for million, yet it is unsafe tt
advise any special individual, possibly
| lacking in the ne?dful qualities or mean,
to lay out one OF these orchards. TIT
land is vacant, however, and while 0,00t
men are clamorihg for employment, Cal
ifurnia is full Of work or opportuntie
for it and we can scarcely look in all,
direction without seeing place wher
labor could be spent with profit ant
where We know il will be spent a. Il,

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR LIKELY,
THE RESULT OF GENERAL sHERMANs
IMBECILITY.

Colonel Scully, an old officer of expert
ence in Indian warfare, telegraphs from
Lewiston, under date of the lIth INST,
that he has trustworthy information that
Chief JoSeph's band has lately received
considerable accessions and that it is
feared many of the reservation Indians
Will join him. Colonel Scully therefore
suggests that 200 volunteers be called
INTO service from Oregon to Washington
territory to act until they can be re-
placed by regular troops. Gen. Mcdowell
telegraphed the suggestion to Washington
with his approval; it was laid before the
Cabinet yesterday, aud, after brief con-
sultdtiun. an order was issued fol call
Of two hu,.dred volunteers, with authors
ty to increase the number to five hun
drel if necessary. Nine companies of
the Second Infantry left Atlanta, Ga,
yesterday, Tor Cheyenne en- route to the

A POWDER MILL.

A powder mill is not in the least like
other mills. Instead of one great BALD
ing, it is composed of many rough-look-
little sheds, sometimes as many as sew
enty or eighty. These are long distances
apart, separated by dense woods and
great mounds of earth, so that if one
house is blown up, the others will escape
d like fate. OF some, the walls are built
very strong, and the roofs very slight, in
the hope that if an explosion happens, its
force will be extended upward Onlv 9th
er houses have enormous roofs of ma
sonry covered with earth; the roofs of
others are tanks kept always full of wa
ter.
The constant danger inseperable from
the work would be greatly increased
were there not strict rules, always enfor-
ced. No cautious visitor can be more
careful than the workinen themselves for
they know. il an explosion happens, il

no lights or fires are ever allowed. no one
lives nearer the mills than can be helped

We trust the story of the murder of the
man Laws, in Louisiana, will hasten the
completion of the letter of Mr.. Evarts is
writing to Governor Stone, of Missis-
sippi, relative to the murder of Judge
Chisholm, in that State. 1t is said that
letter will contain an Interpretation of the
Presidents Southern policy to the people
there (which does not seem to be under
stood there as yet. The same might
truthfuHy be said of it in the North. A
policy which needs a written explanation
ought to have been made plain to the pub
lie weeks ago. The neglect to do so has
resulted in the murder Of several Repub-
.hcsns, which might have been prevented
had the President ordered this letter
written long ago. The murder of the
Chisholms, and now of Laws, shows that
the Southern patriots stand in need Of
something to point the way to them. But
is it strange that they stand in need Of
this letter of Instruction. Surely, if the
people Of the North regarded the Presi-
dents policy as an encouragement to that
element in the South, whose atrocities
made Democratic success possible, why
should the people which compose that
element have regarded it differently? A
policy which can not interpret itself may
be an excellent one-it is certainly origin
al-but we are inclined TO think that the
intelligent portion of the people will not
take kindly to it. Letters Of explanation
have their undoubted uses, and when one
is required, in order TO save life, it ought
to be ready at the earliest possible mo-
ment This letter viii be regarded as
most important act Of the administration,
since it will serve TO not only enlighten
the North, but the South. The murder
Of Laws shows how imperative il Is that
it should be published without delay. It
will probably be claimed that this mans
murder can not be charged 10 the Dems
ocratic party, and the list Of his mota
tansgressions will appear. No one VII
be able, however, TO dispute that his mpf
derers were Democrats, and that tna

PrOpo.ed ChishoIm nIonumept,

The proposition which has been made
in the West to build q monument to the
memory of Cornelia Chisholm, the Missis-
sippi heroine, meets with cordial favor,
and subscriptions have already been
started for that purpose.
Her heroism, devotion and dauntless
courage well deserve to be embalmed in
marble and sung in the noblest strains.
The part she played has rarely been paral-
leled by girl of eighteen in any age or
land. Following her father to the prison
dungeon; looking out undaunted through
the barred window upon 200 murderers
and assassins; trying to rally the guard
who were fleeing IN dismay; and then, on
finding that their guns, thrown away in
their flight, were unloaded, going out
through that seething mass and procuring
ammunition under pretence of going for
food; returning to prison and loading the
guns with her own hands; hinching not
when her younger brother was shot down
at her side; passing loaded guns to her
father, and when the door gave way before
the internal mob, clinging to his neck
with one arm and pushing aside the rifles
OF the murdeRers, resting against his
breast, with the other;' aud thus clinging
tuOuBA hNo Od1lo WbL6 louS6u III Ou6 Vi
her limbs and another shattered one of her
hands, while her father received eleven of
the murderous bullets and was left for
dead.
Then see her, with the help of a neigh
Dor, her mother and surviving brother
bearing the mangled form of her still
breathing father to his home, saving him
from further violence by asking the mob
not further to mutilate the dead. Follow
her, patiently enduring the most intense
suffering during those fearful days when
the mob surrounded the house on learning
that their dastardly work was not COM
plete, and keeping physicians aud suceor
from entering that desolate home until the
father and daughter were recalled from
life. Yes, it is indeed fitting that an APP
propriate monument be erected to the
memory of Cornelia Chisholm; while
Governor Stone, whose name and heart
are akin, who refused to listen to the be-
seeching appeals of the dying girl and
who has as yet done nothing to bring the
perpetrators of the bloody deed to justice,
should be held in lasting execration. -

Thursday night. Mrs. War6eld was q
native of Kentucky, but when quite a
young lady moved with her parents to
Mississippi. While living in that State,

MOrton's Letter.
A Washington special of May %, to the
Cincinnati Gazette, saws:

A Washington special of May %, to the
Cincinnati Gazette, says:
The President, to gentleman who had
an interview with him to-day, talked very
freely upon the political situation. In
discussing Senator Morton's letter the
President said that Mr.. Morton's state
ment of the policy of the administration
with respect to the South, and his de-
scription of the situation as the new ad-
ministration found it OF the Inauguration,
was exact and true. 1t was then fact,
whatever might be said of the propriety
of supporting any other cause, that the
undertaking to have supported Packard
with the military would have been futile,
and the failure disastrous. The President
did not, however, agree with Mr.. Morton
as to the position and purposes of the
South. He did not share Mr.. Morton
distrust of the Southern leaders, and did
not have the same apprehensions as to
their intentions. ''But whatever may
happen in the South now," the President
declared, 'the Republican party can not
be held responsible for It. The South is
now in the hands of the Democrats, and
that party must be alone responsible to
the intelligent opinion of the country for
the conduct of public affairs.
But upon one subject the President was
quite as emphatic as Senator Morton, OIL
the most earnest Republican in the coun'
try could wish him to be. Referring tc
the numerous stories of purpose in Ger.
tain quartars to attempt to create new
party, and to give it the name of the Ma
tional Union party, the President very
~, -, -
that he had always been Republican, is
Republican, and that the Republican
party was never more necessary to the ma
ton than it is to-day. THAT party" the
President, according to this gentleman
said, sis good enough for me, and by it
intend to stand"
The language of the President showed
very clearly that he did not favor any new
party organization, as such, and that he
would not be likely to give any such move
ment his aid.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
Another IodIan FIGht.

A Bismarck special, May "a 10 the
Chicago Inter- Ocean, gives the following
account of a late engagement Of General
Miles with party of untamed Sioux:
Lieutenant Alfred F. Fuller has Just
reached here by the steamer Peainah from
Tongue river, and gives the following de-
tails of q fight with the Indians on the
seventh of May, in which he received
painful though not serious wound in the
shoulder.
On May Z, at 4:3O A. M, General Miles
in command, with companies F, H, L and
G of the Twenty-second Cavalry, aud
twenty-five mounted men of the Fifth In
fantry, attacked an Indian village on Lit
tie Muddy creek, branch of the Rose
bud, ninety miles from the mouth Of the
Tongue river.
The Indians were surprised, and aban-
doned the village, offering but slight re-
sistance, taking to the hills. In the rear
of the camp they made brief stand, but
were driven off by the cavalry, who dis
mounted and charged up the hills. The
troops pursued them for five miles
through a very rough country. Fourteen
dead Indians were met on the field, and
many others are known to have been
killed.
A herd of 45O ponies and horses was
captured, and fifty-four lodges, with their
entire contents, consisting of an album
dance of all kinds of new agency annuity
goods, were destroyed. Many saddles,
guns, officers clothing and other articles,
taken from the Seventh Cavalry in the
Custer fight, were captured. The band
belonged to the MinnecoDjous, and were
led by Lame Deer and Iron Star. Lame
Deer was among the Indians killed.
The command lost four killed, as fol-
lows; Privates Charles Springer, Com
pany H; Peter Lewis, Company H; John
Martindale, Company F; Charles Cos
kosky, Company F.
The wounded are Alfred F. Fuller,
second lieutenant, Company f, shot
through the right shoulder; privatef
Freyer, left arm; r. Osborne, right arm
William Jeffries and Patrick Ryan, left
| arm; Thomas Gilman, neck; William
Wilkes, right thumb; George Leonard
| chin.
Captain Ball commanded the battalion
of Second Cavalry; also Captains Tyler
| Wheeler, Norwood and Lieutenant Je
rome, and Lieutenant Schofield and Lieu
tenant Casey with mounted detachment
of infantry.
Just before the fight commenced two
Indians came out of tepee, and, advanc
ing toward General Miles, extended theil
hands to shake hands with him. Will,
the General was giving instructions to hi
aids he happened to notice the indiana
picking up their guns. He pulled hi
horse to one side just in time to avoid thu
shot, which passed over his shoulder
killing a soldier behind him. This In
dian was the chief, Lame Deer, and wal
instantly killed by soldier.
The Seventh Cavalry had reached Glen
diveon on the twenty fourth. There is
good stage of water in both the Missouri
| and Yellowstone.
