While we believe the interests of the people of Western Utah require a separate Territorial government, we trust that the bill introduced by Senator Gwin will be defeated, unless the proposed name for the-new Territory is changed. Nevada County, in population and wealth, is one of the most important in California, and adjoining as it does Western Utah, it is much to be regretted that the residents of the latter country should so persistently insist upon affixing the same name to their proposed Territory. The inconvenience and trouble that must necessarily result from this confusion ofnames are so readily foreseen, it is surprising that the people of Western Utah have not, for their own sake, adopted a name more appropriate. Should the name be finally adopted, it will be found that thousands of letters, designed for Nevada Territory, will annually be first sent into Nevada county, after which, by a roundabout way, they may find their proper destination; and the residents of this county will be subject to the like inconvenience of having their letters “missent” into Nevada Territory. The people of Nevada county should take some action in this matter, and endeavor if possible to defeat the project of applying the name of their county to the Territory adjoining. A petition on the subject, stating the bare fact that Nevada county, in California, is located upon the borders of Western Utah, would have much influence upon mem~ bers of Congress, and we believe would have the effect either to defeat the bill, or else compel those who have it in charge to substitute some more appropriate name. February 29, 1860 NEVADA TERRITORY -INDIAN NAME---In our issue of two weeks ago, we alludedto the inconvenience that would result to the people of this county by the application of the name "Nevada" tothe Territory east of the mountains, now known as the Washoe country. We are gratified to notice that the Legislature has taken action on this subject. On Friday last, Mr. Smith, of Nevada, introduced into the Assembly the following resolutions, which were adopted: Whereas, Since the year 1850, one of the most populous counties, and one of the largest inland cities in the State, have borne the name of "Nevada"; and As insects are blind to the color red, flowers of this color are, visited and pollinated by birds. Senate Resolution Attempts To Save Our N whereas, the application of the name to another Territory or State would-occasion mistakes and delays in postal and other communications, and would thus subject the inhabitants of the ' Pacific Coast to serious inconveniences and loss; therefore be it is, thatthe Washoes are a treacherous, thieving tribe, and are disliked by the white residents; but the same objection might be made against the adoption of any Indian name, for treachery, and a disposition to appropriate to their own use the property of the whites, are among the characteristics of all the North American Indian tribes. The tribes that furnished names for Massachusetts, Alabama, Illinois, lowa, and some dozen other States, were ame no better than the poor Washoes, and yet there is not an intelligent citizen of any of those States who does not rejoice that the names given to the localities by the indigenous races have been perpet~ uated by their white successors. Resolved, by the Assembly, the Senateconcurring, That, in case of the organization of a Territorial government in Western Utah, our Senators in Congress are instructed, and our Representatives requested, to use their exertions thatsuch Territory do not receive the name of “Nevada”. Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor he requested to communicate this resolution to our delegation in Congress. We presume there will be no opposition to the resolutions in the Senate, and it is desirable that they should be adopted immediately and forwarded to our members of Congress. The late news. from Washington renders it highly probable that an act will be passed providing a Territorial government for the Washoe country, and should our Congressmen receive Mr. Smith's resolutions before the final passage of the bill, they will have no difficulty in getting the name changed. It is somewhat surprising that that the people of Western Utah should think of going outside of their own borders to find a name for their Territory and future State, when there are so many beautiful Indian names that are locally applicable. “Washoe” is the name of a large tribe of Indians and of a lake and valley in the proposed new Territory, and by common consent this term is now used to designate the argeutiferous re gion lying along the eastern base of the Sierra Nevadas. The name is euphonious, and no good reason can be given why it should not be applied to the new Territory. The only objection we have ever heard to the name, REMODEL Furnish Everything: 1ideas 2.
