The following is from the Times ReoielC,
and the Major is not a sensatlonallst: 1--WE
may expect soon to hear of Indian depreda-
tons in the vicinity of the northern border of
the State, and perhaps within eur own bound
aries Yesterday Dir. T. t. Redsull of this
place, who was intending to start with his wife
in few days for Silver City, Idaho, received
a telegram from his son in-law at that place,
warning him not to start, as the Indians had
broken out again and were ravaging the coun-
try between there and here. 1t is more than
probable that there will be repetition of last
years experience, and that the inhabitants of
the outlying districts in southern Idaho and
northern Nevada, will have to abandon their
stock and crops and flee to towns for safety
The United States Government true to its
policy of placing its troops where they will
do TIE least good, has removed the company
of soldiers that was in Duck valley to Camp
Halleck, hence the country between here and
Silver City is entirely without protection; and
before troops can get there, the redskins can
do great deal of damage and escape We pre-
sumo by tomorrow that we will receive fur.

My Dear Sir: Your very kind letter, giving
me the sad information of the death of our
dear old friend and comrade, Harry Mighels,
only reached me few days ago-having been
forwarded to and fro between this place and
Fort Sheridan whilst was on the march here.
As had heard nothing of the severe physical
sufferlngs which he had undergone, Gas have
lately heard), during the latter portion of his
life, was totally unprepared for such an an
nouncement as his death-and you can mag
inc that it struck me like clap of thunder
and even now, [ cannot fnlly realize that the
cheerful voice, the sparkling and ready wit
and the great, large, generous heart of our
old friend and comrade are all silenced for
ever. Whilst in Deadwood, day or two
since, met a gentleman whose name | can
not recall just now, who gave me many par
ticnlars in regard to poor Mighels Affections
and suferings-all of which were very inter
esting, but very painful to hear.
| wonder how his financial affairs were left
AS he was never very provdent (lnless he
grew so with years. fear he may have left
his family in Strengthened circumstances. If
you can at some time find it convenient to
write me somewhat in detail in regard to these
things, l will take it as a favor. Thanking
you for your kindness | remain

THE LAST REPoRT The annual report of
the President of the Central Pacific Railroad,
is published at large in several California
I,al,Grs and varioCsly commented upon. The
Enterprtse calls it " the most extraordinary
manifesto ever presented by an insoent cor
poration to a generous people, and when one
reads this paragraph he is led to believe that
the Enterprise is right " Your company has
not been enriched by donations. The county,
State and national governments have under
their contracts not only realized all and more
than they expected, but have much the best
of the bargain. If, when they made those
contracts, they wanted something else than
was therein provided freer exercise of
power of regulation, for instance-they ought
to have so nominated in the bond. To claim
and to take what is not so nominated, Is to
take by the exercise of might-not of right.
Under these contracts the company owes the
counties, the State and the United States
nothing bat its good will and loyalty" The
document intimates that the powers of the
Railway Commissioners, under the new Con-
stitution, may be denied on the ground that
it conflicts with the act of Congress which
gives 1.-THE corporation the right to regulate
fares and freigh.s, and which disposes of the
net income of the road. The report is lengthy
and the various topics are argued
in lawyer-like manner, and prove
to the stock holders, at least,
that the Central Pacific is very patriotic and
generous company, and very much injured,
in fact it has rsciv ed no favors and has
none to grant; it is regularly authorized,
organized and independent power and will run
the machine to suit ITSELF tell the various
States just what they need, and carry out its
ideas accordingly, and no one has any right
to gr?wl, The following statement shows the
condition of the company, financially: "The
capital stock authorized is S100, 900 900; the
capital stock subscribed is $50, sos, 800; the
capital stock paid in is $54, 275, 800; held in
trust for the company, So, 333, 300. 1t owes
$32, 772, 906 81. 1t owns 1,214 miles Of
road, which, with telegraph lines and steamers,
cost $134, 650,527 50, and other assets,
making total value of S197 ,205, O44 03. The |
immense dividends declared, the outside in |
vestments made the enormous wealth |
heaped up by the chiefs-none of these APP
pear in the report-they would not look

RETURN OF TALMAGE.

1t was somewhat unkind in Talmage to re-
turn Just at the same time that Grant did ano
try to quiet the boom, by drawing attention
away from the great commander to the great
Ambassador" But Talmage is back and
the country is safe, if England is not. We
have been in the habit of thinking and say
ing that the world has not gone backward
and that men are as good and religious, and
sensible to-day, as they have ever been. We
take it all back. The age which not only
permits, but fosters and fattens, and glorifes
such man as Talmage has certainly receded.
1t was bad enough to have that miserable
butterfly futtering around ''the city of
churches clothed in a robe which is not his
own, and bearing name which he disgraces;
but when England and "canny" Scotland
give themselves up to such a sham, we are
convinced that the age is degenerating, and
men are not what they were. Talnage seems
to have two objects in view, notoriety and
money He has acquired both; let us see
how he will use them. When we recall the
disturber of the peace of the old Crown Street
church, who for years preached to empty pews,
and the man whom public opinion i'll regard to
the death of his first wife and indecent
haste in marrying second, exlled
to Brooklyn, it is dilficult to lIizs that it is
the same man whose name is familiar to every
reader and whose notoriety is equal to that OF
Beecher. There is this difference in the two
men. People dock to hear Beecher because
he is a man of talent, aud to see Mr.. Talma9e
as a curiosity and he is curiosity, His pub
lished sermons, or whatever they may be
called, are curious commentaries upon the
piety and taste of the nineteenth century.
Lacking polish crude and sometimes clumsy
in their construction, and bordering on bias
phemy, affecting Il conversational familiarity
with the Deity, as though speaking face to
face with a friend Mr. Talmage's published
efforts certainly show neither depth of thought
nor profound reasoning nor even eloquence.
But Mr.. Talmage has made himself known
and people have run after him they would
after some rare mOnstrosity, and paid their
money to witness his antics as they would to
see Blondn cook an omelet seated on wire
stretched across the seething gulf below
Niagara. And now that he has returned to |
Brooklyn, there will be an increase of piety |
among the Sororis of the tabernacle, and the
aroppings of that sanctuary will be interlarded
with delicate references to our experience in
nage's next trip will be success
