their aiders and abettors, and all those who
may attempt to intimidate those who desire
to work, try them by military law, and if
found necessary, execute them as outlaws
and traitors on the spot. This will be the
most humane, and We believe the only course
that can be adopted under existing circum-
stances to efectually put an end to the Wobism
that prevails in considerable portion of the
coal regions.


We regret that the necessity for recommeD-

4 ROBBERY AND One OF ITS CONSEQUENCES.
There was daring robbery committed
lately on the road between Carson City and
Genoa, and company of the residents Of the
locality armed themselves and went in pur-
suit of the robber. In the course of their
search they went late at night to the ST.
Charles Hotel, in Cars, City, having receiv
ed information which led them to believe that
the robber was stopping at that famous hos
telrie. Now. it 50 happened that the not
very good looking but strictly honest Survey
or of Story co., |. E. James. had arrived in
Carson that evening, and had retired to bed
without making himself known. And that
gentleman was frightened out of several years
growth by band Of fierce looking armed

ing to know what he had gotin his valise. In

yes; something like him, but not exactly.
Ike thought his time had come, for the man
held a cooked pistol at his head, with finger

have fired had the man said positively that
he was the cuiprit. Ike, thinking that there

29th of June, the last quarter ration of
beef had been given out to the troops, on
the 1st of July, at the request of many

out up for experimental eating. All those
who partook of it spoke highly of the
dish. The flesh of mules, the writer de-
scribes as being of darker color than
beef, of finer grain, quite tender and
juicy, and as having favor something
between beef and venison. There was an
Immediate demand for this kind of food,
and the number of mules killed by the
commissariat daily increased. Some horses
were also slaughtered, and their flesh was
found to be very good eating, but not
equal to mule. Rats, of which there
were plenty about the deserted camps,
were also caught by mrny of the officers
and men, and were found to be quite
luxury-superior, in the opinion of those
who ate them, to spring chicken.

REMARKABLE MAGNETIC PHENOMENAL

WAS THE Moon EVER CoMET.-Accord-
ing to NJ. Argo, the Arcadians thought them
selves of older date than the moon. They
maintained that their ancestors had inhab-
tied this planet before it had any satellites.
Struck with this singular opinion, some
philosophers have imagined that the moon
was formerly a comet which in performing
its elliptical course around the sun, came
into the neighborhood of the earth, and was
drawn in to reyolye around it. Such a
change of orbit is possible, but evidently
it could not have taken place if the comets
perihelion distance had been great, The
comet must, therefore, have passed very
near the sun, and have experienced an in

Of humidity, The almost entire absence of
m atmosphere around the moon the scorched
appearance of its vast mountains and
deep valleys, and the few plains that are
seen, have been cited as proofs that this

Captain Greenhalgh, of Gen. Berry

burg, Gen. Berry was ordered to rejoin


his corps near Charlottesville, which he


did with his usual promptncss.


On Sunday morning, the Sd Of May,


while posted to the right of Chancellors-


vile, Gen. Howard rode up and said
" Gen. Berry, / am ruined;" referring,
probably, to the disaster which had over
taken the Eleventh corps, of which he had
command Gen Berry replied "Oh, no,
General, you are not; I have division
that never was driven an inch, and will
put them Immediately into the breech and
regain what you have lost


Upon this he put himself at the head
OF his brave men, and with an irresistible
charge they drove back the rebels and re-
took the ground which the latter had won
Here the battle ceased few minutes. =
Turning to Captain Greenhalgh, one of
ms aids, General Berry directed him to
ride down to General IIooker's headquar-
ters and inquire for orders as to whether
he should hold his position or not. Cap
tain Greenhalgh at once started, and
General Berry and the remainder of his
staff dismounted the General saying
that he would walk across the plank road
(only few rods and communicate with
General Mott, the senior officer of his
division.


One of his aids demonstrated against
his going, and offered to go in his stead,
but the General replied that he would
himself go. He started, went across the
road, saw General Mott, gave him his
orders, turned, was coming back, and
when but short distance from where tho
members of his staff stood, a rifle mimic
ball struck him in the arm close to the |
shoulder, passed downwards through his
vitals, lodged in his hip, and killed him
almost Immediately


His aids saw him fall, and instantly
started for him. Lieutenant Freeman
knelt by his side al am dying,n said
the General "carry me to the rear.n
The Lieutenant asked him if he had any
wish to express; by feeble shake of his
head he indicated that he had none, and
the next moment his spirit had gone for
ever. Thus died General Berry, in the
prime of life, in the midst of proud
career of glory and usefulness, and like
Wolfe and Warren, on the field of battle.


When Captain Greenhalgh, our iufor.
mant, returned from headquarters, having
been absent not more than seven minutes,
he found his friends eyes closed in DEATH
and the crimson tide told how it was
done. The body was at once raised and
carried to the Chancellor House, where
General Hooker stood When it was
laid before him, he burst into tears, and
kneeling down kissed the cold forehead
and then exclaimed "My God, Berry,
why was this to happen Why was the
man on whom relied so much to be
aiken away in this manner ?"
