ability in preparing and keeping an enerprise of the kind. . . . It can now be reached with but twenty-three
miles of staging from Clipper Gap, and when the Central Pacific Railroad is completed to Ilinoistown,

FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1865
GOTTSCHALK.—This great pianist and composer has been quite ill for the past two or three days
at the International Hotel in this city, but is recovering, and in a day or two will be well again, together
with Miss Lucy Simons. . . and Signor Muzio, he will leave for Dutch Flat, Grass Valley and Nevada,
where they will give some of their grand concerts. We can promise the citizens of those localities a rare
musical treat—. Virginia City] Union.
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS STARVED TO DEATH AT ANDERSONVILLE.—The
Port Royal New South, of May 6th, speaks of the arrival at Jacksonville of squads of the 3,200 prisoners
who are coming in. The rebels, finding it impossible to feed them, brought them so near our lines and
turned them loose. Most of them have arrived, and they were being supplied. About twenty were left at
Andersonville, too sick to be removed. There died at that prison in eleven months of the year ending
January, 1865, as follows: February, 1864, 1; March, 282; April, 575; May, 708; June, 1,201; July, 1,748;
August, 2,991; September, 2,677; October, 1,595; November, 494; December, 168; January, 1865, 199.
Total, 12,640. The total number who have died at Andersonville since the establishment of that infernal
pen exceeds 17,000.

that is to assemble on Saturday next in Nevada. The Democrats seemed divided in their sympathy, some
espousing the cause of the “Longs” and others the “Shorts.” But those who sympathized with the “Long
Hairs” took no part in the voting. We have been beaten; and as we are not addicted to whining, we shall
not growl over our defeat. To the victors belong the spoils, and the “Shorts” are welcome to them. Both
the tickets were composed of good citizens and sound Union men, hence it was difficult to decide which
was the best ticket. The polls opened at half past twelve o’clock, and from that time the voting became
active and spirited, and continued without intermission nearly throughout the balance of the day.
GOTTSCHALK CONCERTS.—On Monday evening next, Professor Gottschalk . . . will give
one of his splendid concerts at Hamilton Hall in this town. Gottschalk, although still young in age and
youthful in appearance, has been before the public for a period of more than twenty years. When but a
child of ten years, he made his debut in New Orleans, and at that early period of his life was universally
endorsed by the most talented and well informed people of the Crescent City. In 1811 he proceeded to
