ALARM AT ISLAND MOUNTAIN.

Through letter from our old friend E.
Penrod, acting Governor of Island Mountain,
we learn that recent actions on the part of
some of their Indian dependents at that
camp, has occasoned some alarm In the minds
of himself and family, who are now about
the only white inhabitants of that Immediate
section. Contrary to the usual demeanOr OF
the noble mendicant. he has lately become
indolent and dictatorial, and just prior to
the departure of Peter Munson, who kindly
brought US the letter referred to, it was
deemed necessary to the safety of the whites
to disarm them, which was carried into execu-
ton The effect of this course was consid-
cred Doubtful, but from Mr.. J. w Mcdonald,
who arrived to-day from that vicinity, We
learn that no trouble has grown out OF it. 1t
is generally believed that the insolence of the
Indians referred to arose from Conciliatory
treatment toward them, by the family, which
in the untutored mind of poor LO is ascr1bed
to fear of the conciliated. The isolated
position of the mere handful of persons at
Island Mountain is not particularly envlable
one Just at this time, but knowledge on
the part of the Indians frequenting the camp
that half dozen Winchester repeating rifles
are in the hands of the whites, and having
now the assurance that if necessity should
require they will not hesitate to use them,
will probably have the effect of suppressins
further hostile demonstrations.
Even without any desire to provoke ex-
IRENE action, the wiley redman is no more
backward in trading upon the fears and
exigencies of the times where he imagines it
may be practiced with safety, than his more
enlightened white brother, and the sooner he
is convinced of the danger of such course,
the better for himself, rs well as the whites

AN OFFICER WHOSE CONDUCT
NEEDS EXPLAINING.

The Silver STATE of Tuesday has the follow
ing account of what seems to be an outrageous
piece of business on the part OF an army
captain:
We are informed by teamsters who accom-
panied the troops from McDermit last Satur-
day and Sunday, that several soldiers, en-
numbered with arms, ammunition and harver-
sacks, dropped exhausted in the road and had
to be carried to the nearest station. The
men, by order of Major Eagan, who com
manded the battalion, had to march over 80
miles in 80 hours, and upon their arrival here
were hurried into the cars without supper or
refreshments of any kind, though the train
did not move until next morning. In the
ranks were men who had been III the service
over 20 years and had served i'll the war . r
ng the rebellion, yet never experieDc i i
harsh treatment from al officer. II > &c
to the commanding officer, VINO re lii a
comfortable ambulance, while his men, with
blistered feet, tramped through the alkah
dust, it should be stated that he was i'll no
hurry to get to the front on his way north,
when hostiles were supposed to be near Nc
Dcrnit, as three days and a half after his
arrival here he camped at the Toll House,
twelve miles from town.

THE RESTLESS PIUTES.
"a the Reno Journal Of YESTERDAY

Says the Reno Journal of yesterday:
The Piutes are not at rest Just now There
Is very evident unrest about them, and as it
is coupled with considerable mysterious ac-
ton, the inference is that they are thinking of
joining the hostiles, if not already on the ar
path on the frontier. 1t il known that the
Pintes around Winnemucca are dissatisfied,
and proofs are not wanting that they are in
league with the Bannocks. 4 short time since
a large force of them made a business OF
watching every train that went through, and
when the train contained soldiers a runner
was sent off in hot haste to inform the hos
tiles. Naches, who has befriended the whites
all the time, and who has much influence with
the tribe, intends to 60 to San Francisco for
the express purpose of having a talk with Gen.
Mcdowell. A conference of Piute braves has
been held, and they have no doubt deter
mined what to demand of the General. Naches
has been expected to pass westward daily since
Saturday last, but as yet has failed to do so.
When he goes he will he accompanied by a
large body guard of dusky warriore. A little
skllful action just now may prevent war
with the tribe, and for the sake of the safety
of settlers and property, we hope the war will
be averted Naches will be valuable assist
ant but should the Government be arrogant
and lofty, even his influence will not avail to
keep the turbulent warriors in check.
We do not believe the Piutes will so to war
They are not by any means non conlbatants;
but they bave been once very thoroughly de-
feated by the whites, and it is seldom that In
dams who have been thus taught their inferi-
GRITTY in numbers and strength are foolish
enough to take second time to the warpath
1t is more probable that Naches, who is a willy
scamp and all sophisticated, has bethought
himself of present favorable opportunity to
feather the Piute nest. Doubtless he harbOrs
the hope that Mcdowell will help him and his
warriors to something handsome as bribe to
keep the peace. Every Piute in tho State
should be disarmed

THE SWEET SINGER OF EUREKA.

The Bard of the Base Range is Mr.. Orrin
Miller. He it was who composed the poem
which himself recited at the Fourth of July
celebration at Eureka. Telling of Valley
Forge, Mr.. Miller's muse eases herself in the
following strain;
Severed from their wives and daughters
Shiv'ring iii their winter quarters,
They were Aghtnc for principle,
And they became invincible
Approaching the climax of his poem, he
says:
They taught you this from Lexington
Where our boys made the red-c0ats run,
To the day your flag was hauled down
By Lord CORVALLIS, At Yorktown.
Thus we see revived and inspired with a
refreshened animation the spirit of 76,
strengthened by the quenchless soul Of Bar
bara Allen.

cisco capitalist keeps his worl who

have been little dull for the last
three weeks, but everything is all

who infested the diggings at first
have about all gone to their ran
choa to gather their crops, and
their space has been taken up by
old and experienced miners from q

wings in our midst and who expect
