AS Carson had no celebration in a
general way, and as our citizens con-
tribated literally toward having one
before the news of the attempted assas-
sination of the President reached us,
there must be a cash balance in the
hands of the Committee OF Arrange
ments. On Sunday next the Germans
of Western Nevada, composed princi-
pally of the Turn Verein associations
of Carson, Virginia and Reno, will hold
a picnic at Treadway's Park, and
among the features will be several
shooting contests between teams COM
posed of Nevada's militia. Carson has
never shown much liberality in the
matter of offering prizes at these target
shooting matches, and it is about time
that we did something in this line. A
liberal coin prize might be given from
the Fourth of July funds now in the
hands of the Committee, and we doubt
if any contributor to the fund would
object to such appropriation of portion
of the money.

The Fourth in Douglas.

The Genoese celebrated the Fourth
in old-fashioned, patriotic style. There
was a picnic at the Kinsey grounds,
where all in attendance had a splendid
time. Then, as wind-up to the ami
versary festivities, there was an indie
pendence ball, without which no we'll
ordered Fourth of July celebration is
complete. The Carsonites who spent
the Fourth at Genoa, and several of our
towns people were there, speak in the
kindest manner of their treatment by
the people at the Douglas county seat.

The Bee objects to the Hazel Kirke
Company charging an extra twenty-five
cents for reserved seats in Sacramento.
and reminds the management that the
Mastodon Minstrels, numbering forty
people or more, with performers draw
ing higher salaries than any member of
the Hazel Kirke Company, made no
extra charge for reserved seats. The
Bee is right. A dollar ticket is enough
for any show that travels on this coast,
and any attempt to charge more will be
damaging to the treasury.

JULY 4, 1851.

Upon Olympian nights in solemn state,
Three censors stood, whose eyes were al
aglOw;
And these were History and Time and Fate
Watching the nations on the plain below.
There flowed the stream Of ages, and it ran
Ger silent sands with wrecks of Empire
| strOwn,
Where ruin Knocked the handiworss of man,
And cities crumbled in the dust alone.
Upon the left mist hung in the air,
| ''Canst tel,' said Time, "what rests be.
/ meath the haZe?'
And History shook its head, II do not dare
To solve the secret of creations days."
There rose the pyramids from out the plain
To tell of Egypt's glory and decay,
The speechless Spbynx, with eye Of cold dis
| dain,
| And in the light of the Implying sun, .#
There bleached the bones Of long forgotten
| hosts.
| On fields where pride and hate the conquest
I won,
| To make nations tyrannies her boast.
Where the rude sword was master of the law,
| Holding its right in undisputed lease;
Where victors glutted with the spoils Of war
Disdained to use the perfect gifts Of peace.
Thus mighty kingdoms tottered to their fall,
Because the blinded builders of the wall
Discarded marble to make room for clay.
Beholding these Times bosom swelled with
pride,
"Where lives the nation that survives with
mel" ...
And at his side the voice of Fate replied,
Twas born to day, the Nation of the Free"
And at its birth a flag unknown before
Unfuried its flashing colors TO the sun;
Till power to crush it was proclaimed no more
And right to bear it was forever won.
And those who fell beneath its tattered folds,
Eire-scathed and battle-scarred, are with US
now; s#-H
For with the flight of those unshackled souls
A touch immortal pressed the martyrs brow
Then ceased the clash of conflict, and the
chain
That bound the limbs of valor was undone;
Men reared to Liberty tasting fame,
And Peace looked down upon a conquest
won.
Then the broad land knew plenty and
content,
The swift loom hummed, the CHEEKY anvil
rang;
In other Chimes the form of Hope was bent
To catch the stirring strains which Free
dom sang.
Where honest reason knows no human
thralI,
And love of right oppression cannot tame;
The path of knowledge may be trod by all.
The lamp Of science burns with quenchless
flame.
To-day smile illumes the face of Fate,
The pen of History records free;
And Time will see this gloritied estate,
But the beginning of a realm to be.
Then reign, Oh King. in thy accepted might,
While Peace shall live and war no longer
frown,
Thy scepter naught but heritage of right,
The halo of eternal years thy crown.

A resident of Los Angeles discOyere

A resident of Los Angeles discovered
a tin mine near that place five years
ago. Recently he brought some of it
in and had it assayed, which resulted
in showing value of $50 20 pei ton.
This mass of tin ore has been passed
by for a century by prospectors, who
thought it was common rock stained
with iron, and never imagined it was a
veritable bonanza of tin.

Good Music.

The Washington Guard Band, Mr..

friends on the Fourth with excellent
music from the State Capitol building.
The selections, principally operate,
were rendered with fine expression,
and a splendid musical treat was given
the people. The band had been en-
gagged for the proposed celebration Of
the Fourth in Carson, but when the
celebration was given up, telegram
was sent to Virginia City to cancel the
engagement. The dispatch was not
received by the band leader in time, SO
the musicians came to Carson, and, as
already stated, gave us some fine music
during the day.
