WHAT THE, ENGINEER SAID
lam an engineer. Ever Since the
road was laid, I'Ve traveled over it eve
ry day, or nearly every day of my life.
Per a gocid while I've had the+ same
epgine in charge—the San Fransisco—
the nrettiest engine on the road, and as
wellhnanaged, if I say it, as the best.

good old mother lives ; at IL I had the
sweetest little wife under the sun, and
a baby ;'iind :had always a dollar or
two put by for a rainy day. "was an
odd kind of a man. Being shut up in
the engine, watching with all eyes and
heart and soul inside and out, don't
:make a:man talkative, -
My wife's name was Josephine, and
I called her Jo. Some people called me
unsocial, and couldn't understand how
a man could feel friendly without say
ing ten, words an hour.: So.tho' I had a
few figendsi-dear.ones.tool-I had not
as many acquaintances as most people,
and did not care to have. The house
that. held my wife and babies *as the
dearest place on earth to me, except:the
other house that held . my minter at A.

myself up with strangers in such a
way, and nevi. should, if it hadn't

Sfftrorice sad:
" Yon ought 'belong

"Never heard of it," said I.
" I am a member," : ; said he.. " We
meet Once a fortnight, and have a jolly
good time. We want' thinking . men
like you. ',We have some amongst us
now. Propose you if youdike."
I was fond of such things, and I had
an idea that I might by worth some
thing. But .then, an :.ngineer don't
have nights or days to himself, and the
club would take one evening . from To,
I saiAl.
" ask her. If she likes it, yes."
" Ask whom ?"'said he.
".Jo," said . l.
" every man had asked his wife,
every man's wife would have said,
can't spare you, my anti we
should have had no club' at all," said
Granby. •
,)But f Made no answer. At home I
told Jo. She said :
" I shall' miss you, Ned ; but you do
love such things,:and thenlf Mr. Gran
by belongs, they must be superior men."
" No doubt," said I.
"It isn't eyaiybacly who could be
made a mem ber," , :said :Jo. "Why of
course . ;,•01l Must say yes."
So 1 - said yes, an'd ,;Gran by proposed
me. Thursday fortnight I went with
him to the rooms. There were some
men with brains, and smile :without.—
The real business , of. the evening was'
'the supper, and so itas
w: 'i3very
,even
ing. • '
I'd alWays been a temperate man. I
actually did not know what effect wine
would have upon me ; but coming to
drink more of it than I ever had before
at the club table, I found it put steam
on. After'so many glasses I wanted to
talk ; after so many more I did.
It seemed like . .somebody else, the
words were so ready. My little ideas
came out and were listened to. I made
sharp hits ; I indulged in repartee ;
told stories ; even came to puns. I
heard somebody say to Granby : "By
George, that's a man worth knowing.—
I thought him dull at first." Yet I
knew it was better. to be quiet Ned
Gueldon, with his ten words an hour,-
than the wine made wit:l was.
I was sure of it when three hours af
ter I stumbled up stairs at home to find
waiting forme With her babe on her
breast. • -.
" You've been deceiving me," said
To. "I've'suspected it, but wasn't
sure. A scientific club couldn't smell
like a bar room."
Which means I do," said I, waving
in:the middle-of the room like a signal
flag, at a station, and seeing two Jo's.
And look like one," said Jo, and
She went'and . locked herself and the
baby in the spare•bed-room.
One c,ald night, as I dressed to go, Jo
:stood bilfore me.
• "Ned," she said, "I never had a
fault to*d with you 'before; I'll say
that. ou've been good and kind, and
loving, always ; but I should be sorry
we eveirmet if you were to go on
this' way. Don't ask me what r mean.
You know."
" JO," " 'tis only on ant)
night."
.t! It, will grow,"' said she.
Whini - she• - put her arm around my
neck.
"Ned-,?' said: she, 1 ` do you think a
thing so much like a bottled r up and
strapped-down demon as steam is, is lit
to be put in the hands of a drunken
man `4 And some day, mark my words,
the time will come when. not only
Thursday night but all the days of the
week will bi3' the same. I've often
heard you wonder what the feelings of
an engineer who has about the same as
murdered a train-full of people mustbe,
and .you'll know if you don't atop
'where you tire: A steady hand and a
clear head have been yo r blessings* all
these years. Don't throw them .away,
Ned. If you don't care for my love,
don't ruin yotirself." •
My little Jo!, She spoke from her
heart., and I bent over and kissed her.

BY A. W.
,FIELDER
And If meant it ; but at twelve that
night I felt that I had forgotten the
promise and my resolution.
I couldn't go home to Jo. I made up
tiny mind to sleep on the club sofa and
leave the place for good next day. Al
ready I felt my brain reel as it never
had :iefore. In an hour I was in a kind
Of a stupr.
It was morning. A waiter_ stood
ready to brush my coat. I saw a grin
on his black face. My head seemed
about to burst ; my hand trembled ;
looked, at my watch ; I had only live
minutes to reach the depot.
Jo's words came to my mind. Was I
lit to take charge of the engine? I was
not tit to ansWer,'l ought to have asked
fipple sober man. As it was I only
caught my bat and rushed, away. I
Was:just in time.
The San Francisco glittered in the
morning sun. The cars were,filling
rapidly. From my post I coul hear
the people talking—bidding each other
good-bye, promising to write and come
again. Amongst them was an old gen , -
tleman.l knew by sight—one of the
shareholders ; he was bidding two tim 7
id girls adieu.
" good-bye, Kitty—good-bye, Lou,"
I lie rd him say : " don't be nervous.—
The,Sain Francisco is the safest engine
in the line, Gueldon the most careful
ogineer. I wouldn't be afraid to trust
every mortal I love to their keeping.—
Nothing could happen wrong with, the
togetheir."
I said, " I'll got through it somehow,
and Jo shall never talk to me again."—
After all it was easy enough. 1. reeled.
as I spoke. I heard the signal. We
.were off.
Five hours from L. to D. ; five hours
back. I saw a red flutter, and never
guessed what it was until we passed the
down train at a wrong place. Two
minutes more and we should have had
a collision. Somebody told me. I
laughed. I heard him say, respectful
ly, "Of course, Mr. Gueldou you know
what you are about ?I'
Then I was alone and wondering
whetherl should run faster or slower.
I did something, the cars rushed on at
a fearful rate.
Thq same man wbo had spoken to
me btifore was standing near to me. I
heard some questions.
How many miles en hour were we
making? . 1 didn't know.
Rattle, rattle, rattle ! L was trying
now to slacken the speed of the San
Francisco. I could not remember
what I should do. Was it this, or that!
Faster—only faster : I was playing with
the engine like a child.
Suddenly there was a horrible roar—
a crasL ; I was flung somewhere. It
was in the water. By a miracle I was
only sobered not hurt, I gained the
shore stood upon the ground between
the track i and the river's edge, and
there gazed at my own work.
The engine was in fragments, the
cars wire in splinters ; dead and dying
and twounded were strewn around—
men; women and children—old age and
tender youth. There were groans and
shrieks of pain ; the unwounded be
wailed their dead, and a voice unheard
by any other, whispered in my ear,
" murderer I',
The news had gone back to A., and
people, came thronging down to find
their friends. The dead were,stretched
on the grass. I went with some of the
distracteuLto find their lost ones,:

babe and two tiny children. It was
fancy—it was pure fancy, born of My
anguish—Oh I great Heaven—they

were my ld mother, my wife, my chil
dren, all old and dead.
How d d they come on this train ?
What eh nee had brought this about ?
No one !ould answer. 1 - groaned, I
screamed, I clasped my hands, I tore
my hair, I gazed on the good old face of
her who had given me - birth, on the
lovely features of my wife, on, my in
nocent children. I called them by
name. There was no answer—there
never could be—never would be.
And as I comprehended thi4, onthird
up the track thundered another train.
Its red eye glared upon me ; I fluilg
myself before it ; felt it crush me to
atoms I
" His head is extremely hot," said
sometody. I opened my eyes and saw
my w:fe.
" llow do you feel ?" she said, " a
little better ?"
I was so rejoiced and BO astonisthed_by
the sight of her, that I could not speak
at first. She repeated the question :
I must be crushed to pieces, I said,
for the train weft over me ; but I feel
no pm."
"There he weft
about the train
again" said my wife. "Why, Ned."
I tried to move—there was nothing

in my own room ; opposite me a crib in
whic!l two children were asleep ; be

My 'wife and children were safe ! Was
I delirious, or could it be—?
" Jo," said li , " tell me (what has
happened." f
"It's nine o'elock," said Jo. " You
came home in such a dreadful state
from the club that I couldn't Wake you.
You weren't fit to manage steam and
risk people's lives. T he San Francisco
is half-way to A.; .I suppose, and you
hale been frightening me to death with
your dreadful talk."
And Jo began to cry.
It was a dream—only an awful dream.
But I had lived through it as though it
were a reality.
Is th , ,re a bible in the house, Jo
said I.
"Are we heathens 'P.' asked Jo.
Bile brought It, and I put my hand
upon it, and took an oath (too solemn
to be repeated here) that what had
happened never should occur again.—
It never has. And if the San Igrancis
co ever comes to grief, the verdipt will
not be, as it ought to be, so often—the

' TRAVELING STONES—They ha VC
walking stones in Australia and, as we
are informed, they have traveling stones
iu Nevada State. Mr. Hart, from
Panranagat, has shown the editor of
the Virginia City Enterprise several
pebbles, Il tat all curious in appear
ance, but rather curious in action.—
Hero is a c escription :
They were• almost perfectly round,
the majority of them as large as a wal
nut, and of an irony nature. When
distributed about upon the floor, table,
or other level surface, within two or
three feet of each other, they immedi
ately began traveling toward a common
center, and there huddled up in a bunch
like a lot of eggs in a nest. A single
stone removed to a distance' of three
and a half feet, upon being released at
once started off with wonderful and
somewhat comical celerity to rejoin its
fellows ; . taken away four or five feet it
remains•
'Motionless. Mr. Hart says
they are found in a region of country
that, although comparatively level, is
nothing but bare rock. Scattered over
this barren region are little basins, from
a few feet to a rod or two in diameter,
and it h in the bottom of these that the
rolling' stones are found. They are
from the size of k a pea to five and six
inches in diameter. The cause of these
stones rolling together is doubtless to
be found in the material of which they
are composed, which appears to be
loadstone or magnetic iron ore,
NO- (2 CARTER SPEECH OF UEN
BEAL FORREST OF FORT
PILLOW.
The Memphis Avalanche publishes
the, following report of a speech made
in Brownsville, Tennessee, last week,
by,,Ueneral Forrest, who massacred the
negroes of Fort Pillow. The numerous
assassinations by the Kiiklux Klan has
rendered the calling out of the militia
necessary for the protection of all loyal
citizens, black and white. In ease
these amusements should be interfered
with by the Governor and Legislature,
"General Forrest and his associate gen
erals thrlaten war and "no quarter:"
Mr. President and Fellow-Citizens—l
did not think that I would be called
upon to address you at this time, as it
was intended, and, I believe, expected
that I would speak 'to you to-night.. I
have been laboring under sickness for a
few days, and have besuffering from
a sore throat, so-that at the present time
I will be only able to s y a few-words
to you. Last week 1 received a dis
li
patch from Generals CI eatham, BreWn,
gnarls and others to the effect that I
was wanted in Nashville in regard to
sonic important business in connection
with the calling out of the militia, and
when I received that dispatch, 'started
at once. When I arrived in Nashville,
I found fifteen Confederate generals
engaged in. a conference with about
thirty leading citizens. Great fears had
been expressed about the calling out of
the militia, as many were of the opin
ion that it. would lead to bloodsheiVf a
Very serious character. Governor
Brownlow had stated in his message to
the Legislature that all who belonged
to the Kuklux Klan were to be declared
outlaws, and he gave out, and declared
that these Klaus were composed of sol
diers who had been in the Confederate
army. I believe that Governor Brown
low thinks that all Confederatesoldicrs,
and, in fact the wholeDemocratie party
in the South belong to the guklux .
Clan—[Cheers Auld laughter.] All are
declared outlaws; for the governor says
that he has no doubt they belong to the
klan, if there is such a clan. TheLegis-,
lature has passed some laws, I believ,
on this subject, in which the militia
are called on to shoot down all the Ku
kluxes they may find, and they need
fear no prosecution for doing so. That
is, simply, that they may call a Con
federate soldier a Kuklux, shoot him
down, and no harm should befal any of
the militia who may commit such an
outrageous net ; for Governor Brow i i low
has proclaimed that they were all out
laws. [Applause.] When this is done.
I tell you, fellow-citizens,‘ that there
will be civil war. If the Radical Leg
islature, with Governor Brownlow,
arms the negroes, and tells them to shoot
down all Confederate soldiers, -on the
ground that they arc members of the
Kuklux Klan, as they call it, and out
laws, then, in my opinion, there will
be a civil war in Tennessee [Applause.]
It is not otrr policy to get intoanother
civil war, or i war of any kind at the
present time, as it would housed against
us and Weaken our cause in the North,
and I halve• advised every Confederate
soldier whom I have met lately to do
all in his power to prevent war of any
kind taking place in Tennessee.
[As there was a very large crowd in
the court house square, Gen. Forrest
was requested.to go outside and contin
ue his speech, as all were very 'anxious
taillelLAM.,,,#?,,,neST9//MIY did so,
closed.] "
Gen. Forrest .continued his remarks
by saying : I received a letter from Gen.
S. R. Anderson, of Nashville, a few
days ago, and he stated to me in that
letter that ho considered the
_action of
Gov. Browniow, in relation to the
Militia, a declaration of war if the
militia. were called out under liis proc
lamation. This is also my opinion. l
can assure you, fellow-citizens, that I,
for one, do not want any more war. I
have seen it in all its phases, and be
lieve'me when I say so, that I don't
want to she any more bloodshed, nor
do I want to see negroes armed to shoot
down white men. If they bring this
war upon us, there is one thing 1 will
tell you—that I shall not shoot any
negroes so long as I can see a white
Radical to shoot, for it is the Radicals
who will be to blame for bringing on
this war.-
1 can assure you, fellow-citizens, that
I shall at all times be ready to go for
ward and assist the sheriffor any other
officer in carrying out the laws of the
State, and in order to 'assist him tho
roughly, I will get as many of my oil!
soldiers as possible to go with I Ile.
But if they send the black men to hunt
those Confederate soldiers whom they
'call Kuklux, then 1 will say to you,
"Go out and shoot the Radicals." If
they do want to inaugurate a civil war,
the sooner it comes the better, that we
may know what to do. [Applause.] I
do not wish it understood that I um
inciting you to war, for, as I told you
before, I have seen all the war ainl all
the bloodshed'l want. I wish yCu to
exhaust all honorable means l efore
you do anything, and I would laefer
that you should suffer before I should
see civil war inaugurated in this coun
try. We have already lost, all but out
honor by the last war, and I must say
that, in order to he men, we inust pro
tect our honor at all hazards, and we
must also protect our wives, our homes
and our families. [Cheers.]
I wish distinctly to state that I am
not ifg, , ainst the colored man, neither
have fever been against the colored
man. II carried forty-five of them into
the war with me, and alt but one re
mained with medurit g the war. The
next time I saw the o e who deserted,
he was in the hands o 'the metropolitan
police forstealing. [ heers and laugh
ter.] I wish you to do nothing that
will give the Radica party any pre
tense to bring on a war. I warn you
particularly against this. They woald
like nothing better than a war, for
through i tthey might carry the election,
and by this means keep office and con
tinue to rob and bleed us. If however,
the war should come, and I hope it
never will, I want no drones in my
drum of bees. [Applause] If lam
forced into a collision, I can tell you
that every man shall be compelled to
do his duty. They have got to take
sides with us or the other party. We
will have no neutrals; all must show
what they are. If they are not for ti 4
then they will be'against us.
,Weinic.t
he a unit on this tery grave quest ion.
The militia will be a unit, and we nmst
be in the same position. My fellow
citizens, I assert it is a soletnn thing to
think of, for I have no doubt that you
-have all had enough of war. You have
seen war and you know what it is, and
therefore we ought, as I said before
exhaust 41 honorable means to prevent
It coming among us. But if it does
come, I will do all in power to meet it,
let the consequences be whatthey may.
,[Loud and prolonged cheering]
I - now want to say a few Words to the
black men who are hero before me, and
what I wish is to ask them to stand by
the men who raised you, who,nursed you
when you were sick, and who took care
of you when you were little children. I
say, stand byhem who ,are your real
friends, and 1 a your Loyal youoyal Leagues,
i
where you, Ire taught, to refuse the
franchise to those whO have always
proved your friends: I tell you that if
you will only, stand by us that we :will
always stand byjyou, and do as mgch
for you as any white men can do for
you. Yo can have no interestwitli any
scalawags and carpetcbaggers, [Loud
cheers and laughter.' All they want
from you is the little money you have
got. The Northern people -.say that
these scalawags and carpet-baggers were
ithieves;and robbers in their own section
of the country. [Applause.] Then what
can you expect from them ? [Applause.]
voice. General, there are a few
Southern carpet-baggers and scalawags
also here.
General Forrest. Yes, there are, and
lam ashamed to own it, that they
were nurtured on this soil. They are
too lo* for me to speak about, and I
have no words to Fxpress'my contempt
for such persons. I feel to-day that
Governor 13rownlow:is one of thatclass.
[Hisses.] He has escaped to this time
because he has been shaking with sick
ness and weakness, and is considered
crazy, but if he inaugurates civil war in
this ,Mute, then 1 tell hint he must stif
fer the consequences. [Cheers.]
When.the war closed i surreidered
honorably and desire to do my d ity to
my country, but I love the soldiers and
those who fought with me during the
war. i love them as I love my own
life; and I never intendythat they shall
be shot down 50 long, as I have an arm
to raise in their defence. Nireat cheer
ing]
Fellow soldiers, we haVe stood by
each other before, and now I want to
know if you will stand by hie and by
the other Confederate generals in what
we did a few day ago at Nashville.
[Cries of "We will we will," and great
cheering.] (lent 'men, 1 feel I am
getting hoarse, an I have lately suffered
roan 0 severe cold! and I fear I will
not be able to spea to you much lon
ger. [Cries 01" G )on,General,goon."]
Well, I now wish to speak to you a
few minutes about Ike Democratic Con
vention lately held in New :York.
While I was present at that convention!
I learned that some of those who called
us their friends were not in favor of
enfranchising the soldiers of the South
who fought in the late war. Now, I
want to know how that is. I was taken
cheerfully by the hand by the leading
Democrats of the North, while I was in
New York, and they showed me the
greatest friendship and displayed the
greatest kindness towards me. !That is
the reason I want to know whether it
is true about the remarks that! certain
parties that are against enfranchit..infr,
the :,okliers. One of that patty k Mr.
Leftwich,) has been nominated here
to-day, and I want him to come form, and
.
and state whether he has ever said that
the Southern soldiers Should not be en
franchised, or whether lie is opposed to
giving us all our rights. When I hear
him deny this rumor I stand ready to
support him, but not till then ; but
without it I cannot do it,, and neither
can you. [Great che'erint.] 1 have - la
letter in my pocket from Washington,
and I am sorry to learn from it that Mil.
Johnson is said to, have pone' against
the Democratic pally and against the
South, on the ground that we of the
South who Were delegates of the eon
ventibn did not press luS nomination.
I did press it, and used all my influence
with the Sou Bern delegates—General.
Hampton an . others—and procured
him fifty votes. 'We saw, however,
that lid could not be nominated, and
we had, therefore, to change,, after sev
eral ballots had taken Pace. The oth
ers would not contimervoting for Mr.
I
Alinsorr, and I di , of think there
NrctS any !love yr . -..f.....-4....tdui. ...f......
several ballots hat been cast. Since
that time he has se it me my pardon,
for which I am tro y thankful.
Now, fellow-cif ens, I think it is
right for Mr. Leftwich to declare this
evehing whether' he is in favor of en
franchising the Southern soldiers or not.
r feel it is important that the Southern
soldier& should know whether you have
nominated a man vliose sympathies
are wit those who fought for the "Lost
Cause," and is prepared to give us all
our rights, [Cheers.] If he tells you
frankly and freely he is,' which I he
liev,e be will, then I for one am willing
to And him to Congress. [Cheers, athid
which General Forrest retired.]

FORT SANDERS, D. T. Aug. 17th 1868. '
To THE AGITATOR : Thinking per
haps a letter from the great West might
prove interesting to-the readers of your
valuable paper, I know of no better
way to pass away a leisure hour or two,
than by giving you a brief history of
the doings in this section of the coun
try, and what I have seen since I came
here. On the Bth of June, I left the
city of New York, bound to St, Paul
Minn. my,route being via the Suspen
sion Bridge, through Canada to Chica- ,
go, thence by the North Western, and
Minnesota Central Rail ways to St.
Paul. While there, I paid a visit to i
the FM'S of St. lAnthony, and Minne. i
haha (Laughing Water) made famous
in song by Long fellow. From St. .
Paul, a pleasant ride down the Mississ
ippi River to Clinton lowa, and across .
that State, by rail to Omaha, Nebraska,
found myself at the Eastern terminus
of the Union Pacific R. R. Stopping
one day in Omaha I took the cars on
the evening of the 18th for a ride across •
the Prairies, to the Western terminus of
the road : Twenty-six hours sufficed,
to bring us over 573 miles of raid from
Omaha to this post. At that time the
express trains only ran ae:far as Lara
mie city, one and a half miles beyod
here, they now run to Benton city, o e
hundred and ten miles farther wes ,
ik
and the track layers are,' moving. 'for
ward at the rate of three miles a clay ;
the company exp .
ect to complete _the ,
road to the Salt Ilake Junction before
winter sets in. 'ls,Tow I return to this
pest arid its vicinity ;
Fort Sanders, ,
was lard out and built by a Battalion - i
of the 36th U. S. Infity a little :more
than two years ago ; being inten ed as
a protection to the laborers, on tit U.
P. R. R. It is at present the ead-
Quarters of Bret. Maj. Gen. Gibbon
ComtVg the Rocky Mountain Military ,
District and is garrisoned by Co•.i C. & '
D. &E. of the 30th and Co. D. Of the i
36th U. S. Inflty. It will probably be
maintained as - a Military post, so long
as there are any apprehensions of In-
dian depredations, along the line of the i
road.
Ltieamie city was laid out by the R.
R. company in April last, and ground
brok .11 for a Roupd House, and Hotel,
both of which are now near completed.
On the7lst of May the track layers ' ar
rived within five miles of this post; it
was on a Friday, and the contractors
were anxious to stop at this post over
Sunday. So they made the laborers of
double wages for the day, to show their
skill in handling rails ; bright and ear
ly they were at work, and before . sun
down they were passing the post amid
a salvo of Artillery from the Battery
stationed here, at sundown they stopp
ed work, having completed kib miles of
track ; a feat f believe unprecedented
in the history of Rail road construct
ing. Then the city of Laramie sprung
into existence, and in six weeks time
had a population of 3000, composed of
Rail-road employes, dealers iu dry
gOodS; groceries, liquors, &c., with mi
ners, speculators, .gamblers, horse
thieves, and a goodly number of Cyp
rians. My first visit to the city was
the evening of the sth of July, a Sun;
day evening ; all the stores and drink
ing
saloons were open, and appeared to
be doing a thriving business ; hearlog
a Bend playing in the street, I walked
that way, and found myself infront of
what was called the big tent, occupied
as a gambling house ; looking in I saw
a Bar at which were standing a num
ee.--„, -- ,,, .....1.-.aedelesethe-i-trialz neooes
sary to fit them for the hands .of the
:amblers who were plying their voca
tions on all sides ; monti, faro, rem),
I
sweat, vingt-et-un, each had ts Vaariee,
who were fast losing their money, and
their senses, Turning away, I I saw the
four or five dined houses, well patron
ized, plenty I ding found who were fool
ish enough to spend their dollar for a
dance of ten minutes concluding with
the call of promenade to the Bar. One ,
dollar being the fee for a dance and
drink. Disgusted with what I had
seen, I turnd homeward having a
walk of a mil and a half across thel
Prairie,. which by, the way is not always
safe ;if l a melees known - to carry much
money about with him. There are to
be found in this country, Men, who, do
not scruple to take life, in their attempts
to rob the unwary. A few Weeks ago
there was in Laramie a saloonnd
dance house known as the Diana; ept
by a . couple of young men, whose
it
characters were not above suspicion,;,,
men went to the Mayor with complaint -
that they had been robbed in-the place,
hut le the absence of proof they were_
al ways acquitted, finally two or three
men were missing, and the mutilated
body of one being found on the banks
of - the Laramie river, and traced to the
Diana saloon, the p'roprietors wore ar
rested, and confined at this post ; One
was released in a fewi days ; the •other
whose mune was Kidd, was held until
the 91 I) of- the present month wherajhe"
e as set at liberty, on account of the — db-;
settee o f proof directly implicating
him ; the ( same night he-attempted to
kill - a soldio at this post, and fired at
the Deputy , U. S. Marshal at -Laramie;
he Was arrested on the 12th :,again, and
the same right was taken from the oil
eers, by a Party of Vigilanters, and the
next morning was found hanging by
the neck in, an unoccupied building
just out of town. A few weeks ago,
four horse thieves were hung near the
North Platte about 40 miles west of
Isere, the Vigilanters only acted a little
more promptly, they would be doing
the country a great service.
Last night, a party attacked the mail
carsick s from this post ; but they- pre
sented their revolvers •at the wrong
man the one who was carrying the mail
being unmolested, put spurs to his
horse, and reached the post in safetY,
the other thinking discretion the better
part of valor, surrendered his horse to
the highwaymen, and footed it into the
Fort. A squad of Cavalry was at once
scut out, but did not succeed in finding
the man or!horse. But I fear I am in
truding onf•your space, so I will close
with the promise of another soon.
! Yours truly, •
