RECRUITING IN WASHOE.—Nevada Territory is doing well in the way of raising forces for
service. There are are present two companies of infantry and two of cavalry fully organized and ready to
be mustered into service.
THAT RIFLE PIT remains, surrounded by huge blocks of granite, lying higglety-pigglety as if they
had been thrown up by an earthquake from the bowels of the earth, or fallen, like the aereolite, from the
clouds. The Court House has the appearance of being circumscribed by ruins, and the air of the streets
seem to confirm the illusion. When the rifle-pit is going to be filled up with the broken granite and a
wall arise out of it, we are unable to say. A desolate stillness reigns about the house of justice except at
rare intervals when “Uncle Billy” pokes his reverent head out of an upper window and thrice invokes the
presence of some absent lawyer or tardy witness—not quite so mournful as the scene, word-pictured by
Ossian, of a wild fox looking out of the window and the rank grass waving about his head.
A FIRE.—Almost a fire, in fact a fire, occurred at the residence of J. H. Boardman, Esq., one of our
printers, yesterday morning. His little cherubs got in a front bedroom and finding some matches on the
stand proceeded to strike a light. Very soon the room was found to be full of smoke and fire. Mr. Joshua
A. Cross, who owns the house, being in the garden, saw the smoke and came to the rescue. The house
was saved, it being lathed and plastered. But the bed and furniture of the room were completely used up.
Our friend Boardman, is out and injured some fifty dollars or more by the little attempt of his children to
amuse themselves with matches. Be careful; be careful parents, with those little fiat /uxes if you please.
MOUNTAIN WINE.—Mtr. A. Isoard, on Broad street, has a large lot of superior California wine,
which was manufactured by himself last season, and which he offers in lots to suit purchasers. Judges of
wine who have tested Mr. Isoard’s manufacture, pronounce it superior to any imported article brought to
this market.

THE REBEL RAID IN PENNSYLVANIA.—We are disposed to look upon the rebel raid into
Pennsylvania as a more serious affair than newspapers seem to regard it. The stories circulated about the
movements and number of the invading force have been very conflicting. On the one hand, a tremendous
force was reported to have crossed the line to devastate and plunder loyal territory. On the other, the
