Allatoona.

Dismounted from his horse,
On the summit OF the hill,
Stood our gallant General Corse,
And he stood erect and still.
BE could see them far below,
From the summit where he stood,
He could see them come and go,
All the rebels under Hood.
Under all the far-off trees
He could see them form their lines.
They were gathering like bees
Beneath the oaks and pines.
And the hero watched them now
As man may looi, on death,
With a cIouding OF the brow
And a quie1ening of the breath.
For the traitors We're host
That hourly swelled and grew,
And around him al his post
The loyal men were few.
Then heavenyard looked he.
And a prayer was in his eyes.
But the banner of the free
Waved between him and the skies.
And the blue of heaven was blent
With the stars, as If. just then,
Twas an answer God had sent
To the leader and ms men.
Up the hill the flag OF truce,
With its folds Of dingy white,
Came as If il could seduce
Our general from the fight
And the message that it brought
From the rebel in the wood
Was as if a coward wrought
A. a scribe fpf. General Hood
Now yield ye 10 our strength,
Ere we come with might and main,
For yield We must al length,
And the bloodshed will be vain"
On the flag gazed General Corse.
As in thought, but not in doubt;
Then he leaned upon his horse,
And he wrote this answer out:
Ye may come whene'er We will,
We may come with might and main,
] will answer for it still
That the bloodshed is not vain"
Back. underneath the trees,
Went the Gag of truce. and then,
Like clouds of climbing bees.
All the valley swarmed with men.
NO pen can paint the strife,
Nor the long and desperate fight
When we gave life after life
For our flag and for the right.
We saw the false ranks reel,
And al the bloody morn
They sank beneath our steel
Like newiy-ripened corn.
Bleeding and faint our chief,
Bot watching still, he stood,
With smile Of grim relief.
The reireating ranks OF Hood.
And he sighed, " mourn the dead,
For their blood has poured like rain,
But twas true as truth / said,
Ii should not be shed in vain"

CIVIL GOVERNMENT EoR ALASKA.

Alaska is to have a civil government.
This fact will be hailed with JOY by
the inhabitants of these remote pos
sessions. The mining interests will
receive a substantial impetus when
ample protection is given them in IN
vestments. San Francisco capitalists
have delayed operations in this field
until Congress took action IN the mat
ter. The bill has passed both houses.
The bill provides that the Territory
of Alaska shall constitute a civil and
judicial district, the temporary seat
for the government of which is estab-
llshed at Sitka. A Governor shall be
appointed with authority to see that
the laws enacted for the district are
enforced, and who shall be ex-officio
commander in chief of the militia, with
power to call it out when necessary
for the proper execution of the law. A
district court is established which shall
hold at least two terms each year, one
at Sitka, the other at Wrangles. \
clerk, district attorney and marshal
are also provided for, and authority
given for the appointment of foul
commissioners with jurisdiction o
commissioners of the United States
Circuit Courts. Thegeneral laws Of The
State of Oregon are declared to be thu
laws of the district, so far as the same
may be applicable. Officers shall bf
appointed for 4 term of four years
and receive the following salaries
Governor, $4,000; District Attorney
$4,000; Marshal, $4,000; Judge, IS,
900; clerk, $4,000.

In referring to the recent financial
reverses that have befallen General
Grant, and the bill before Congress to
put him on the retired list with the
full pay of General, the Helena Her
aid says: "Should there be much delay
or opposition to so reasonable a prop
osition it would not be out of the
range of possibilities that the people
should instruct their delegates to re-
nominate Gen. Grant for the presl-
dency." The bill has already passed
the Senate without a dissenting vote
and will meet with but little, if any,
opposition in the house. This is but
a Just recognition of the eminent ser
vices he rendered in our country's
peril. All honor and respect for the
old soldier. But the people are
not "red hot" to make him presl-
dent. His immediate friends and
advisers are to be feared, whatever the
merits he may possess. The country
has seen enough of the gang. Grant
should cut loose from Wall street and
his political cronies and try to retain
undimmed, the glory and fame won on
the battle field, by spending the rest Of
his days in quiet responsibility.
The Mineral argus., 1884-05-22

ritory-and up TO two years ago there
was no cause or desire for a change as
a larger per cent. of the settlers took
claims on or near the route.
Time changes all things, and to-day
this stage line, running over the old
route between Big Spring Creek and
Fl. Maginnis, is almost a %nonentlty' to
90 per cent. of the citizens that receive
mail over it at this end, and of equal
value to all along the line who may
have mail from the eastern terminus.
Why is this? We answer, the ma
iority of the mail coming east or gong
west IS TO or from Maiden, Anderson
Vile. and the various ranches tributary
to these points. The mail, instead OF
coming from Spring Creek via. Ander-
sonville to Maiden and thence to
Maginnls-a much superior route and
of equal distance passes over the
Judith range, three miles south Of these
points, carrying all mail to Fl. Magln-
mis-, where it lays two days (48 hours
in the post office and then is brought
over by the Junction City and Ander-
sonville route.
Why is this? Some time since a
~postofice was established, through the
efforts OF Delegate Maginnis, at a
point six miles west of TT. Maglnnls,
called Overland, to give some five or
six ranchmen a convenient office.
Although the only mail now received
at this office is for the postmaster, the
department still continues it, and con-
sequently the mail coach has to report
there every trip, mail or no mail for
that point. Thus 90 per cent. OF the
mail carried over the Benton Southern
lies at Maginnis, to the inconvenience
of our business men, two days, al
because Overland has to be reached
and one solitary ranchman see whether
some one has not sen him a letter.
Mail that leaves here Thursday
morning, by the present arrangement
arrives at Lewistown and Reedstort
Sunday noon.
A movement should be inaugurateC
at once to remedy this matter.
The Mineral argus., 1884-05-22
BUSTED BANKS.

The bank failures in New York City,
though numerous and among the
heaviest institutions in the United
States, seems to have no disastrous
effect on banks or business in other
portions of the country. 1t is only the
gamblers and spectators of Wall
street that are being forced into liqui-
dation. Speculation in railroad and
other stocks is the chief cause of the
collapse. This is not unexpected.
Wall street has been panicy for some
time, and the tumbling of one house
was very liable to precipitate others.
Legitimate business, based on the
mercantile, agricultural and manufac-
turing interests of the country, is safe.
The wall street panic will only effect
the money market temporarily. The
cricis has arrived and safely passed.
There is no danger of a repetition of
the panic of 10, when the whole
country was doing business on a fcti-
tious basis, with an inflated currency.
When the smoke of these eruptions
has entirely cleared away, business
will settle down on a more solid foun-
dation. AS one journal puts it: 'It
will sweep away a good many mere
parasites of commerce, who contrib
ute nothing of enterprise or labor tc
the wealth Of the community, ant
merely prey upon the substance which
the labor of others has created"
Already a more cheerful f%eelin:
prevails in New York, and the fac.
that other trade centers look over the
ruins disinterestedly proves the health
f~ullness and solidity of the natiol
financially.
The Mineral argus., 1884-05-22
A DISGRACE.

Mail routes, it is generally conceded,
are established for the purpose of
placing one point in close and TT
communication with another, to facili-
tate and secure, principally, the dis
termination of news and materially
assist the commercial interests of the
country, through which it may pass.
In other words, to benefit the many
and not the few. When it is proven
that the mail is carried over a route
that inconvenience and delays the
delivery thereof TO three bundled per-
sons and favors ONE, there is something
radically wrong, and the time fully
ripe to call a halt, and the cause of the
trouble investigated by the government.
Such is the situation regarding the
Benton Southern Stage line. When
this line was created, its object was to
place Fl. Maginnis in direct commun-
%icatIon with old Camp Lewis, on Spring
Creek, White Sulphur Springs, Fort
Ellis and other military points and
routes diverging north and south from
the country through which this route
passed. As a natural consequence the
most feasible and direct route was
selected-undoubtedly with an eye to
the benefit of the settlers and military
posts then in this portion of the ter
The Mineral argus., 1884-05-22

Last Sunday night, about IL M, the
majority of Maidenites were awakened
by boisterous shouting and the firing
of revolvers in the centre of town, by
parties unknown, but seemingly regard
less of the rights and feelings of any
and every citizen in the community.
To say that such an outrage-for such
it was-would not be perpetrated by
men of reflection or respect for their
fellow-citizens, is putting it mild, and
men who have respect for the wants
and comfort of their fcllow-men, at the
same time desiring to see justice render
ed alike. to all offenders of the law, do
not propose to set by and see a stranger
who may come into town and shoot
his revolver in the streets, arrested and
fined, while citizens set the example
and go UNPUBLISHED. We sincerely trust
such a ~disgraceful act will not be re-
peated. Should it be, it is to be hoped
that a man with sufficient moral Gour-
age and respect for the law will detect,
and enter complaint at once, against
the offender, before a tribunal that will
make an example of such a culPrit as
will impress him to the end of his
natural life, shat the way of the trans
qressor is hard" and laws are made &c
be obeyed, and other people have
rights as well IS he.

for the pres:

The busted Occur d'Aleners still

DR.. Foote'S dentistry Office yesterday
and tried to negotiate a loan upon a
set of false teeth which he took out of
his neutrality-suspicious.. We sup
posed some of the stampeders would
get their ''eye teeth cut but did not
imagine they could learn to do without
teeth altogether.

On May 13th, on motion OF Hon.
Martin Maginnis, the Senate bill 1881,
to provide for the disposition of aban-
doned and useless military reservations
was taken from the Speakers table,
read a first and second time, referred
to the Committee on Military Affairs,
and ordered to be printed. 1t will be
remembered that this bill is the one
referred to in a former issue of the
ARGUS, and is intended to take IN all
military reserves in the United States,
under the above head, and if passed,
will prove as effective in our case as a
separate bill, as the President will then
be empowered to cut out the mineral
belt in the Maginnis reservation, as
prayed for in our petition.
