ABOUT RENO'S DEATH.

Concerning some disputes as to the manner
of General Reno's death He was killed at
South Mountain, Maryland, on the 18th of
September, 1862, under the following circum-
stances: The pass had been already taken.
The Burnside corps had possession of the
crest of the mountain. Hooker, on the right
of the line, was driving the rebels out of the
woods while the artillery under Sturpis
shelled them as they came in sight The
enemy attempted a diversion-or, if not
diversion, an assault-to recapture the crest
of the hill. One of General Sturgiss staff
(whose name it is not necessary to mention)
had been out in the little dug-way wagon
road, which crosses the mountain, doing some
accommodating on his own hook. When this
diversion or assault was made he, the said
staff officer, rode back to General Sturgis and
reported the enemy advancing. General
Reno who, with his staff, was in company
with his classmate, Sturgis (both of whom
were classmates of Mcclellan, having gradu-
ated from the Military Academy in the class
of 1946), hearing the report of the said staff
OInCer, Salu 10 Ills al uCaIlI general, captain
Tor Major) Neil, "Come on Capn, let's see
what's the trouble" Suiting the action to
the word, he rode into the woods. In less
than five minutes an orderly came riding
back exclaiming General Reno is killed.
"Get a stretcher and bring him off, said
Sturgis to this same staff officer-who, obey
ing the order, made haste to do he was
directed. He found Reno seated on the
ground under tree with DIR. Cutter of the
Twenty First Massachusetts, attempting to
staunch his wound He had been shot from
behind, through his right side. He acas
doubtless killed by an a'eintentiOnal shot fired
by one of the men Of the Thirty Fifth Mdssa-
ebnsetts, ne,c regiment, mhjch had been siam
reded under the first fire. A. the soldiers
bore him by where Sturgis was sitting on his
horse, Reno looked up and said, "Sam, l
am dead ooh | hope not, Jesse" replied
Sturgis; but spite of the hope and sympathy
he did die at a little white stone cottage
under the sheltered lea of the hill within the
hour And this, in brief, is the true story of
Renos death

NrINNEMUCCA.

Says the Sjlrer State of Wednesday:
1t is not our intention to boast we never
do but simply to give the outlook of Winnie
mucca briefly at this writing. Quite num-
berof new buildings are now being erected and
preparations are being made for the erection
of others. Considerable inquiry is made for
lots, not by strangers, but by residents of
different parts of the county. There is a
universal feeling in the community that an
era OF prosperity is at hand. None have any
further doubts misgivings as to the great
value of the Paradise mines. Wherever
work is being done in those mines rich de-
velopments are being made, and if they CON
tinue to develop satisfactory for the next four
monts we may expect to see Winnemuca in
crease in size and population rapidly and
soon be classed among the fourishing towns
in the State, if it does not take the lead of
all others. The sand hill, heretofore the
most uninviting locality, seems to have tie
call. Nearly every lot has been sold, and in
six months every lot will be occupied by resi-
dence and business houses, while Mob Flat,
across the track, will soon double in size In
the meantime, the town proper, below the
Court house, is making rapid growth and ere
long there will not be vacant lot there

RENO.
Says the Reno Journal of yesterday morn

Says the Reno Journal of yesterday morn
ing:
1t is time that the people should make up
their minds to answer the question at the
head of this article. We are in favor of some
cheap form of town government, and many
who opposed it two years ago have changed
their views We have an idea that bill can
be framed which will not provoke any serious
opposition. Taxes should be limited to one
half of one per cent. aud the fees of officers
mostly paid from fines collected. Taxpayers
should remember that the State tax will he
reduced nearly enough to pay for the extra
expense incurred by incorporation. Then,
again, the full quarter per cent we have been
paying for three years for fire purposes will
not be needed next year. So that if we save
ten there and forty on the State tax, the fifty
for town incorporation will be provided, and
the blessings of incorporation secured without
any extra burden being imposed upon us.
And no one will say we are taxed too much
in proportion. Our rate is lower than any
other town in the State. Now is the time for
taxpayers to make their wishes known. Let
us begin todscuss the question without further
delay.

LIBERAL AUsr1NIANs. Says the ReOeilte of
Thursday:
The people of Austin enjoy the reputation
of being literally disposed class toward
anything pointing to charity and public en-
terprise We have an instance at hand
worthy of mention. About three days before
the expiration of the time in which State and
county taxes could be paid before the delin-
quency, it occurred to one of the congrega-
ton of a certain church in this city that there
was an item on the tax books against the in
stitution for about $50. In order to settle
the little claim, about half dozen persons
betook the job of raising the money, each
taking a certain district in the city for his
portion of the work. On Saturday night last
the missionaries engaged in the good work
met and presented the result of their labors
On count of cash it was found the requisite
amount to pay the church taxes had been
raised, and that the contributions were all i'll
small amounts.

The Date of Christmas.

Christmas rests upon rather slender
foundations of authority, having no
broader nor deeper ground of being
than traditi )ns of early observance,
a papal decree or two, its intrinsic
appropriateness and value AS the
signalizing of a great event, and the
bright and joyous associations which
have grown up around it. There is
no evidence that the day had any
place in the calendar of the primitive
church. No word in the New Testa-
ment is suggestive of duty toward
the occasion. Our later ecclesiasti-
cal fathers We're, indeed afraid of it,
as being too odorous of Roman SUE
perstltion and abuse, and a relic of a
hateful system of faith and practice;
which they were only too glad to
leave behind them when they crossed
the sea. Probably the Protestant
world would have felt very different
ly about the observance of Christina,
if there had been any gotd reason
for fixing on December 25 as the day.
And at first thought it does seem a
lite strange that IA record which is sd
explicit and exact in fixing on the
place of our Lords birth, should
have left uS in such Il measure of un-
certainty as to the time. But alas
the word Bethlehem has an historical
reality behind it which the date
December % can never enjoy. We
can 60 to the spot, but we cannot de-
termine the hour. nor the day, nor
the month; barely even the year. Yet
this indeterminateness is of little
consequence, and we attach no great
Importance to the efforts of scholars
to solve it. DIR. Cunningham Geille,
the latest biographer of our Lord,
places his birth between December
and February, adding: "The only
reason why there1can be any he-ita-
ton in suDposing December % to
have been the very day, is the natur
al doubt whether the date could haye
been handed down SO exactly; and
the fear lest to associate the birth OF
the Redoemer with the return of the
sun, which m tde Christmas be early
spoken ofas "the day Of the trium
phant sun, may have led to its hav.
ing been chosen." = The C0ngrega-
