We shall quote from that publication which the Virginia Union may have heard of—the Atlantie Monthly—for April.; Article “Among the Mormers.”. ‘The writer describes the country. He says: “From Salt Lake City to Wasifoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains, the. roud lies through the inost horrible desert conceivable by the mind of man. For the sand, of the: powder of alkali, white as the driven snow, stygtcbing for ninety miles at a time in one uninterrupted dazzling sheet, which supports not even that last obstivate vidette of vegeta» tion, the wild sagezbrush.

Llook back upon that desert as the meet frightfulnightmare of my existence.” Further on the writer contrasts the Silver Territory with the Golden State. “We stop. ped at Virginia for three days—saw the Culifernia of 49 reenacted in a feverish, gam= bling: mining town—and_ resumed our way across the Sierra. By the mere act of crossing that rjdge and stepping over the Califer~ nia line, we came into glorious forests of ever-hving green, a rainbow. afflu-nee of flowers, 2n air Jike a draught from windows left open in heaven. Since our feet pressed the greeu borders of the Golden State, we ait down to reat, feeling that one short hour, one little league, had translated us out of the infernal world ifto heaven.” Now we never thought Washoe to be quite a hell, while this Atlantic Monthly writer pronounces it so without hesitation.

He did not shrink from it. He hesitated not to declare that the Government would protect them the same as white soldiers. Whenevera clear, authenticrted case was inade. out, retaliation would follow. Hitherto it had been difficult touseertain with certainty the facts which should govern the decision in a matter so serious; but in the Fort Pils low affair he thought they were likely to find w# clear case, When the Government agrecd-with-thieiden, He suid—“it requires. no spirit dor power of prophesy to satisfy ; avihat in the, campaign of this season, before the summer sholl hive ended, the four? teen insurgent States that a little while since commanded the Atlanti¢ coast, and the const of the Gulf, and the valley of the Miss ssippi. wud our Territories hordering on the Mexican nation, and the most important of all the seceding States will have been reduced to three or four States on {the Atlautic-coust, aud without an outlet: by the sea, aid no possible laud communication with either loyal States or the Various States of the Continent.” a a Ee —_Serioos Accipenr.—At_San_Francisco_ on Saturday night, the 11 o'clock train from the Mission, ran over and killed a mun named Joseph Higgins, at the corner of Market and Taylor streets, The engineer descried a horse on the line of the track, soie distance aeend, and blew the steam whistle.
