The Indian Girl's Revenge
The Indians of California always appeared
to me to be a different race from any that I
had ever seen. Under all circumstances
tey seem to maintain an evenness of tem
er that white people would be justly proud
f, but I found before I left the country that
here could be a feeling raised in their
'mists, by wrongs, which would at times
imr,t forth :i otertchclut the aggreSSOT.
The advent of the white man into California
was looked upon by the Indians with tl r -
prise. At first t ey could not understand
what could induce the pale lace to dig day

the ad N enturous Yankees penetrate their

last 501110 shrewd fellow formed the idea o
nutking use of their great bodily strength,
and by tempting presents of gitudil3-colored
shirts, and trinkets in the shape of beads,
lie completely won over l'rom laziness as
many as he needed. Others soon followed
the shrewd one's example, and in n short time

the males whose favors were thus purchased,
and many a young Indian girl lefVier home
for some gaudy strips of calico, and shared
the stranger's tent, proud of ii r situation
and wealth.
There was a man named Simpson, who
had a claim within a few feet of mine on
Feather river. lie had been at the mines
some time, and people'reported him as quite
sucessfol in his operations. I never had
much acquaintance with him, and the only
words that we had exchanged was a "good
looming, - or a similar salutation. He re
presented himself as belougiug to Cormen
LiFut, but to what part he never stated. 11
was a stout built man, about five feet six
unties high, with sandy-colored hair and
whiskers, and a rather pleasing expressioi
in his face. I had not been on the rive
ong before ho started for a small tribe of
ndians that had camped on one of the
fork's of the stream, and after being absent
for about two days, returned with a young
squaw, whom ho appeared to be very proud
of, although she did not have much beauty
to boast of, being like the majority of the
Indian women of that country, dull and
heavy looking, with an enormous head of
hair. It was too common -an occurrnce
at the time of which I write, and after a
few coarse jests from the different indi
viduals on the same bar were ,Simpsou
,was at work, the subject was dropped, and
something else taken up for discussion.
Three or four weeks had passed since
Simpson had obtained his dusky-colored
prize, when one Morning I was surprised
to find that he had brought her with him
to the bar; and Was busily employed in
instructing her to pour water upon the
he dirt that was in the cradle, while ho did
the rocking. The girl appeared to dislike
her task, as I could see by her sulky looks
and awkward actions. Simpson would scold
at some slight mistake that she made, and
then take the large basin that she was heav
ing the water with and instruct her anew.
They were not more than a rod from me,
and I could easily hoar every word that was
uttered en either side. She had learned to
speak a few words in English, but I thought
she nppeared to understand more then -she
could utter.
"Dent throw the water so fast," said Simp
son, e;fter ono of Lis attempts to instruct the
girl lo pot 7 it in the right way.

for n few moments, and then he yelled out
again
Throw a little faster; d—n it, you are
going to sleep, I believe."
"Me no good," she said in her broken
English, without looking up to the man who
was endeavoring to learn her how to make
herself useful to himself.
“You no good,” exclaimed Simpson, in
a mocking voice, "no, nor ever will be, un
less you are more careful ;" and again he
endeavored to instruct her how to work tho
right wit)
The poor girl looked o❑ coolly for n few
)rnents, and then said, in a quiet way:
"Me go tent."
"No you don't go to the tent yet, my
auty. You have got to learn to assist me,
you tnay as well beat❑ now ns any other
ne. Take the tin and throw away."
The girl did as she w•as directed. By
this time some doses or two miners, had col
lected within 11 few feet of them, awtl where
enjoying the unusual sports, making some
pretty free remarks, which Simpson did not
relish, and a there was no one upon whom
lie could vent his spite, the Indian came in
for a fuller share of curses than was con
sistent with strict politeness.
After lounging about for a few minutes,
most of the miners had dispersed, and I
thought that everythinig was going on with
the regularity of clock work, when the girl
made a false step, and instead of emptying the
water on the cradle, poured it over the head
and shoulders her master.
With a fearful oath Simpson sprang to
his feet, shook himself, and scowled in anger
upon his companion. I thought that I
could see a faint smile of scorn on her face,
and then all was quiet again. lie hind seen

looking neither to the right nor left. The
per4ons who remained, after making a few
remarks that were not. at all emnplimentary
to the man from Connecticut, separated, and
Simpson and myself were left alone.
We both continued at our work, without
addressing a word to euelm other, and I was
just thinking of going to my tent, when
Simpson left his cradle, and seated himself
near muse. I did not feel in the mood for
conversing with him sifter what had passed,
maintained a determined silence.
At length he asked wliat, I thought of the
Cair that had just taken place.
“1 think :you acted 11 very moan part in
riking the poor girl as you did, - I replied.
Ile indulged in a slight laugh, as he re-

Ile uttered this will such an indifferent
air that I looked at him in astonishment.—
At length I asked :
So you left it wilt; in o,l;mi:tic:tit?"
Viis; nothing t,t.range in that, is there
No; but it is strango tibia you shou

"Come now don't get wrathy," he con

hands."
" - You did !" I exclaimed, starting up.—
"Allow me to say that I feel highly honored
at your choosing me to bestow your chari
ties upon." And gathering up some of my
tools, 1 left the fellow perfectly astonished
at my abrupt departure.
That afternoon 1 saw him at work, as
well as usual, but the next morning he did
not make his appearance. Afternoon came
and as he still was absent, three or four
started to see whether he was sick or too
lazy to work. They had been gone about
half an hour, when one of than made his
appearance, pale and breathless. We
crowded around for his news, but at first he
could only point to Simpson's tent and ex

returning no answer, they commenced ex

A Governor Expounding Scripture
The Tennessee Parson, Governor ilrown

rebels, who claim a full restoration to their
political rights without submitting their
re ientanee to the established ordeals of

The Twin Brothers—A True Inci
dent of the Siege of Port
Hudson.
That fact is stranger than fiction, is ex
emplified in the following true story of two
brothers, twlns, which occurred during the
memorable siege of Port Hudson. Passing
one day, through the streets of that little
town, we noticed two corpses lying upon the
gallery of the carpenters shop, awaiting
their turn for the boxes dignified with the
*title of coffins, to consign them to their last
resting place. They were bodies of tall stat-
ure, stout and \yell built, betokening the
hardy backwoodsmen of the Southwest.
Over the face of each was thrown a cloth,
through which the blood was oozi r ng, show
ing that they had received their death wounds
through the head. It was no uncommon
sight during the siege to see death in every
form, from the body pierced by the single
bullet to the one shattered to atoms by the
cannon ball or mortar shell. Yet there was
something in tho•appearance of those bodies
which rividetl our Attention and indulged the
inquiry as to who they wore. A rough,
grizzly Confederate soldier was sitting by
their side, whose arm, tied up, showed that
for the present ho was unfit for active ser
vice. The tears were trickling down his
cheeks as lie gazed mournfully upon the
dead before him, while his quivering lip told
bettor than words that they had been more
to him than simple comrades of the tent and
He related their story in a few words :
" They wore my sons," said he, " and were
twins. One of them joined at the same time
I did. We came here with General Beale,
and have done our duty to the best of our
knowledge, and I believe to the satisfaction
Of our milkers."
" This morning, sir, while at the breast
works, ono of my boys, in order to get good
aim at the sharpshooters outside, thought-

ball pierced his brain, and he full dead at
my feet. His brother, seeing him fall, sprang
forward to pick him up, but in so doing, ex
posed himself above the lino of defences,
when ho tee received a ball through the
brain, and ho fell dead upon the still quiv
oring corpse of his brother. As they came
into the world, so they went out of it—to

How to be Agreeable in a Printing
Office
Header, if you want to make yourself very
agreeable in a printing office, step into the
sanctum first. If the editor is writing or
proof-reading, take a seat, along id
him, find tell hint how you started in busi
ness, about your dog, your horse, your wife
and baby, or if you can remember, your
school buy sports. Should the editor lalli
fUSt a desimsitioll to the inattentive to your
story, stick to it and go thriiugh with it.
Should me of the compositi ir
step up and aid: for copy, whether the proof
is read, or if either is done, you should, by
all means a..ik what the article is gl a nd, and
insist upon seeing it. Of' course the editor
will read it for you, and profit by your
union as to its illness to go into the col-
yens the paper.
After thus entertaining the editor, slip
into the composing room and as k eac h ma ,
of the hands a , many questions as to the
cases, letters, .\c., !nay be agreeable to
yourselves. Then begin to whistle, all
printers are fond of whistling. (live thew
at least three or four jigs. Then sing

Before leaving the office you ehcotkl,tulce

let it fly back just to see !lOW it - works.—
Don't forget to squirt tobacco juice on the
devil's' feet, tun• examine everything in the
shape of matter on the stone, even if you
do knock some of it into pi, that will only
put the patience of the printers to a fair
test. On leaving the office, be sure to
promise another visit at an early day, and
our word for it, you will be held in fond
remembrance for a long time.
—A story is told of an old
auctioneer who was pri;mikingly annoyed,
while in the exercise of his profession, by

seemed to make sport for the buyers rather

beyond endurance, the knight of ivory barn

to avenge his wrongs, fixed his eyes upon
biped of huge dituentions, a very monarch

From all parts of the country we have ac
counts of strikes of mechanics and working
'
men for higher wages. On what principle
of justice and expediency this movement is
based, we are unable to perceive. About a
year ago, says 'the Pittsburg- Commercial,
wages were pretty generally advanced.
since that time, however, those expenses
have declined, and as to most of things en
tering into the cost of living, prices ere
cheaper time they were then, with every
prospect that the decline will continue. Nor
is this all. The prospect of employment is
precarious the supply of labor iu most of
avocations.is more than equal to the demand,
and there is an immediate prospect that the
demand will grow materially less. Capital
has no such prospect new, its relations to
labor have materially changed, and it is to
be feared that mechanics engaged in the
present movements, nave not well calculated
the future or intelligently studied their in
terests. The interests of capital and labor
arc idential, and whenever this principle is
departed from, the consequences will be
injurious. Our only object is in the kind
est spirit to utter a few words ofeaution,
to admonish mechanics to be wise and not
lie drawn into any indiscreet movement,
which the present one, we do not hesitate
to say, most certainly is

Mr. Trumbull's Speech
We give below a condensed report of the
great speech of Senator Trumbull on the
President's veto of the Civil 'Rights Bill,

was one of unusual power and completely

urged against it. The Senate immediately

Mr. Trumbull said ho fully shared with
the President this regret at the hitter being
unable to sign the bill to protect all persons

who elected him to his position—who gladly

It had abjured his allegiance to the United
States and sWorn allegiance to it government
that was hostile to this. To be a citizen of
the United States, carried with it some rights.
Whitt are they ? Why, sir, tiny are the in
herent and fundamental lights which belong
to every citizen and freeman in all countri-os, ,
such as the rights enumerated in this bill,
and they belong to citizens in all the States
iu the Union. The right of American citi
zenship means something. It does not mean
in the case of a foreigner that when be is
naturalized he is to bo left to the mercy of
State Legislatures. has n right when
folly naturalized to go into its lands, reside
there, and the United States will protect
hi in in that right. It would protect a cit
izen of the United States riot only in one
State, of the -United States, but it would
protect him in foreign countries. " Equali
, tv of Rights in the basis of the Cointnon
wealth, says Kent.
Mr. Trumbull here cited several authori
ties, showing that a citizen is entitled to be
protected in his liberty, property arid enjoy
ment. GO toll it to the father whose son was
starved to death at Andersonville, the widow
whose husband was slain at Mission Ridge,
or to the little lour who leads his blind father
through the streets of your city, who lost his
eye on the Gulf coast. Go tell them that
this government, in defence of which the
-son and husband' fell, and the father lost his
eyes, is a government that has a right 'to
call their persons to its 'defense, but has no
power to protect its friends in any right
whatever. Sir, it carrot be. Such is not
the meaning of our constitution. Such is
not the meaning of American citizenship.
Mr. Trumbull passed to a cobsideration of
the section defining of the punishment (it'll.

must be a yiolation of the public law, , If a ,

in 1190, a similar provision.
Mr. Trumbull, after discussing the objec
tions of the President to the second section,
reviewed the other portions of the veto mes
sage in proof of the conflicting legislation
expected, and that danger was apprehended
from the cohflicting legislation not yet ef
fected. 1
Mr. Trumbull cited the official returns of
the military officers connected with the freed
n;lens' bureau, of the State laws recently en
licted in prohibition of the right of the negro
to lease or own land, and other rights, se
cured to them in the bill. He also referred
to the military orders shlictiened by the
President, showiLg the seine thing, among
them those of Gen. Sickles at Charleston
conciliating the law-making authorities
against discriminating against any class of
the population, declaring that all laws should
expressly secure in all re-poets equal justice
to treed men as to all other people. His or•
der of March 4th, declared the Executive
jurisdiction in tall Cafes affecting freedmen
of the superior, circifit , and provost courts,
11c , poke of the frequent exercise of these
powers under the dereliction of the President,
and assumed a radical change in the Presi
dent's opinions and actions upon this subject.
Ile also discussed the specific powers of the
President, claiming that the war powers
rested in Congress. He next proceeded to
examine the objection of the President to
the third section of tine bill against the ex-
IMI
NO,
tent of the jurisdiction to federal courts,
granted in cases arising under this act. He
claimed that the President isd made a
strained construction of it in assuming that
all cases arising under its pro, , isions must
Lecessarily be excluded from State Courts,
but it it did, sustain such construction, and
such was 6,1111 d to be the . only safeguard for
the rights of the freedmen ; -he would freely

that it it was found essentially necessary for

o the objection made to the number of
officials and agents required by the !sill, he
replied that it was all copied from the sta
tute known as the fugitive slave law, 111:1-
