\ ooxMUNT1sTs' VICTORY

- returns from the city - far q
eonnted. indicate that the Kearneyites
bsve elected nearly all their candidates,
though the contest was close. Re
tnrns from the interior show that
the comparisons have elected
roost Of their men, and it is probable
hat the interior non-partisan majoritles
Iii he sufficient to elect nearly all OF
the;r delegates, even if the city should
Give the Kearneyites fair majority.
THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.
New York advices of the Goth says
tho schooner Eathen has sailed on
her voyage to t. Artic regions
to search for the body of Sir John
franklin. A distinguished party &C
companied the schooner as far as San
DIV Hook. Col. Glider, just before sail
ing. stated the voyageurs would proba-
bly be absent for two years or more.
The searching party expect to make
the voyage northward in about two
months, reaching Repulse Bay during
the latter part of August. 1t is intend
cd to stop at that place until spring,
there being no snow on the ground dur
ing winter.
THE EXTENT OF THE INDIAN WAR.
A Silver City, Idaho, special of the
10Th says the chief Winnemucca has
returned to Bernard's and Whipple's
camp, on !Owyhee river. He says the
hostiles are killing hundreds of cattle,
and leaving the carcasses to rot. The hos
tiles have left STEMS Mountain, and are
moving towards Harvey Valley, thence
to Malheur Agency and Snake river,
and will probably keep on until they
effect junction with the Columbia
River Indians, which addition to their
forces will, they calculate, enable them
to sweep the country. They are deter
mined to retain the Piutes prisoners until
they can get sufficient numberof arms
from the white men, they kill to arm
them. Egan is rebellious, and horses
and arms have been taken from him
and his Indians. Camp Harvey will
probably be captured by the Indians
tomorrow, and, if so. there will be a
terrible slaughter of whites con-
gregated there for protection.
Nothing has been heard from
Gen. Howard since yesterday. If he
does not effect a junction with Stewards
forces the party accompanying him
from Camp Lyon could easily be cap
tured by the savages. The general sit
uation is quite critical, and the mas
sacres that will be perpetrated bid fair
to exceed in number those of the Nez-
Perce war.
AT CAMP HARVEY.
dispatch from Portland, Ore, Of
the 10Th: received at the military head
quarters, states that about 500 hostile
indians have started toward Camp
Harvey, in this state, and that they
arereceiving accessions as they march.
Gen. Howard has given instructions to
send Miles command, now en- route to
Harvey, with all possible haste. Sarah
Wnnemucca, who recently escaped
from the hostiles at STEMS Mountains,
reports that one OF the Indian scouts
claims TO have killed Buffalo Horn, the
Bannock Chief. Sarah says their
leader was killed in skrimish with
citizens in which the scout was en-
gagged.
ANOTHER WHISKY CROOK.
Anew York dispatch of the 10Th
says successful raid was made this
morning by the internal revenue offic-
ers of that district, resulting in the
capture of one of the largest illicit
dlstllleries that has been taken in sew
eral years. the place was on Rutger
street, the building being formerly
Catholic mission. The officers found
mat every precaution had been taken
to shut them out, but, on forcing an
entrance, they were rewarded by discov-
erlhg the still in full operation and the
spirits flowing steadily. The workmen
escaped. There were about $500 gal
Ions of mash and several barrels of mo-
laSses, but only two barrels of spirits,
me product of the preceding twenty
lour hours having been removed during
the night. The dlstillery had a capaci-
Vof 200 gallons of liquor per day, was
Oh the highest known proof, and yielded
aaproft to the owner of $3.50 to $500 a
Jay on the revenue evasion alone, the
TAX being 30 cents per gallon.
THE sHosHoNE INDIANS.
An Austin, New, special of the
l9th inst. states that the Sho-
,hone Indians have left Smokey
NH IN body and gone north
headed for Blowawe, on the Central Pa
enc railroad. 1t is supposed they are
on On the way to join the hostile Bannocks.
these Indians have always been well
treated by the whites and can
not have any grievances against
me white people. They must
IN tnelr route north cross the line of
me Chicago, Pacific railroad some
nhere between Battle Mountain and
faisade. A large number of Shoshones
