NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 6 & 7, 1865 5
as bounty or monthly compensation. ‘Red tape’ rules, and pay-day is postponed. Lieutenant McNeil is in
excellent health; so are Murphy and Stotlar, of San Juan. Peter Gravius, I am sorry to say, is very ill.”
A “FAMILY PAPER.”—A few days since a gentleman connected with this office had occasion to
visit Grass Valley on business, and while there undertook to solicit subscriptions for the Gazette, in which
effort he was not altogether unsuccessful despite the malignancy of the Copperheads and the ill-disguised
opposition of a few copper-fastened “Union” men. One young gentleman said to him: “Sir, I am a Union
man, though in the employ of one who is hostile to the Administration. But on account of your coarse
attacks upon my employer, and the general tone of your paper, I would be ashamed, if I had a family,
to introduce it among them.” It is hardly necessary to add that this fellow is an intimate associate of the
woman-slandering pestilence gang, and reads the pestilence habitually with much gusto. For political
honesty we would not hesitate a moment to give his employer, though a rank, outspoken Copperhead
and doubtless a “K.C.S.,” the preference over him. To all such doubtful Union men we have only one
answer to make: we publish the Gazette especially for the purpose of making war upon the enemies of our
glorious Government. To them we will give no quarter, and we ask none at their hands. We shall apply the
lash to them with all the vigor we possess, and not spare it on any consideration. So far as the moral tone
of the Gazette is concerned, we have yet to hear the first word of complaint from any sound and consistent
Union man or woman, though we are aware that a few Copperhead beldames cackle prodigiously over
it. Our paper, we are glad to know, is received, welcomed and read with approbation in all the best loyal
families in this county, and that is sufficient satisfaction for us.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1865
THE highest salary of the Governor of any State in the United States is received by Governor Low
of California. He gets $7,000 in gold. Governor Curlin of Pennsylvania and Governor Fenton of New
York, receive the next largest—$4,000 in paper.
INDIANS WORKING ON THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The Omaha, Nebraska, Republican has
the following:
L. N. Williams, contractor on the eastern division of the Union Pacific Railroad, has
employed a large number of Pawnee Indians (squaws and bucks) upon the works, and we are
informed that he has succeeded in his efforts to render them useful beyond his most sanguine
expectations. More than a mile of grade has been prepared for the ties and iron by the swarthy
hands of these Pawnee laborers. It is indeed a novel sight to see the wild and untutored children
of the forest delving in the earth with a pick and shovel, constructing the greatest work of
internal improvement ever projected by man.
INSTALLATION.—On Thursday night last the following officers of Grass Valley Lodge No.
12, 1.0.0.F., were installed: G. W. Dixon, N.G.; C. R. Clarke, V.G.; J. M. Lakenan, R.S.; C. C. Smith,
Treasurer. Many visitors were present from Oustomah Lodge, of this city.
THE THEATER.—This institution, which has been a fruitful source of items for the last few weeks,
remains in statu quo. The clerk of the weather, and not the Trustees, is to blame for this. As soon as the
weather will permit, we understand, the work will be commenced and prosecuted with vigor.
WELL COPPER MINE.—This mine, according to the Grass Valley Union, is turning out well.
Excellent indications have been found in a drift run from the shaft at a depth of one hundred and fifty feet,
