1 firat of those States which were driven fnto
of

by their votes, brought the State back to her

thé loyal men of that State, we give the sub jined extract from the inaugural address of
Govercor Hahn. It will be seen that he
views slavery iu tle true light.

Slevery is opposed unlike te the mghts of one

Washoe will attempt-te save the very valuable hife--of the editor of the Virginia Union
by hooping him well and administering five
ounces of chicroform, that he may bear the
infliction and nut by any means die. 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. Its springs are.
far between, and, without a s'ngle exception,
phur hell-broth, which no man would drink
eave in-cztremis. A few days of the beverage within, and of wiid-drifted alkali invading every pore of the body without, often
nerve to cover the miserable. passenger with .
an erysipelatous eruption which ‘presently
becomes confluent and irritates him to madness. 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. His

responsible in the eye of the historian. 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

just been made at the wire-repe works of
A. 8. Hallidie & Co., North Beach. The
‘rope is made flat; 18 tliree inches wide; by
