MONTANA IT's, [From the Virginia City Post.] X Plus 3= 12.—On the night of the 22d ult., a party of Snakes and Bannock Indians, 12 in number, stampeded and Captured 60 horses from another party of Pen D’Oreilles and Flatheads, which had_ pitched their _wakeups on Crow creek. The victors of this expedition, who hailed from this vicinity, went there afoot and came back mounted. Enjoying the ride very much after their pedestrian exploits, they put their stock through and broke down a great por tion of it on the trip. They are now camped a few miles down the Gulch with only a dozen horses left. If ‘‘In jin’’ had only stolen from ‘‘Injin’’ it would have mattered but little, but it transpired the next day that with the stolen stock was some eighteen horses and mules belonging to settlers. Yes terday brought three of these settlers to Virginia, they having tracked their stock and found some of them on the road. Securing the services of the re doubtable ‘‘X,’’ they visited the ‘un tutored minds’ and endeavored to take one fine animal as a hostage, when one of the aforesaid ‘‘untutored’’ fumbled for his revolver, ‘‘X,’’ however, was too quick and ‘‘got the drop on him,’’ when the red skins broke for the willows in a hurry. A party who knows nothing about nothing says: ‘It would have been unfortunate for them Indians if it had occurred behind some hill instead of in the gulch. ’ They abandoned all claims to the animal very suddenly in deed, and in a ‘‘peace talk,’’ afterward expressed their intention to hunt up the missing stock of the settlers, protesting their innocence vehemently. One buck manifested his knowledge of the situa tion by stating: ‘'Injin steal Injin hoss, good; Injin steal white man’s hogs, too much d—d shoot 'em. Ugh!’’ If he is not a Flathead, his head is level on that point, anyhow. _Gossip.—The coaches from different directions have brought to Virginia dur ing the last few days the members of the Legislature. The respective Halls occupied by the House and Council dur ing the regular session are again occu pied by those bodies. The Council suc ceeded in organizing on Monday, but a row of empty desks, that would have broken the hearts of the minstrel troupe, greeted the eyes of the Chairman of the House. Some dozen or more spectators occupied the lobby, no doubt expecting to see something extraordinary because it was called an extraordinary session , but in the conduct or appearance of the members, either during the sitting or— immediately after the adjournment, we saw nothing unusual. The Gazette office, which prints the slipa containing the proclamation, still retains the word Seda, appended opposite the Acting Govern or’s name. Selah is defined to signify a pause of silence, and when it is still retained opposite the name of Thomas Francis Meagher it certainly implies that every good Democrat is expected to be “dumb with silence, or pause in silent admiration at the name and title it precedes. Some of the members were very bashful, and not having any special invitation to stop inside the bar, re mained in the lobby during the attempt to get a quorum. Having no organiza tion and no officers, the House could not very well compel their attendance, and there not being a sufficient number present to constitute a quorum, no Ser geant-at-Arms could be appointed. Nevertheless the motion to adjourn was made and agreed to. Something new in parliamentary law. A Wite Guess Cause.—About ten o'clock yesterday morning, the rumor was circulated in the streets that two men, a white man and a negro, had been hung by the Vigilantes, near the city, the night before. The rumor gained credence from several suggestive evi dences, and all Virginia was on the qui vive to know the particulars. First re port said it was below Nevada—a score of men went clattering down the road as fast as cayuses usually travel. An other report was that it was near Junc tion, and pedestraans streamed down the gulch in breathless haste—half an hour elapsed, and another report came—the person had seen them, recognized them, told their names. They were banging at the slaughter house, near the scene of the late murder. Oh! didn’t the bills swarm with meno and boys, clam bering over ice, and snow and each other to be ‘‘in at the death.” We reached the hill top, near the cemetery, and far away in ravines, on the hill sides, as far as a ten-pounder would throw a shell, the white surface of the snow, was dotted with merchants, law yers, clerks, mechanics, representatives, loafers and dogs, in onward and di verging lines, seeking the dead men. One, two, four miles they went, break ing through the crusted snow, tumbling on the ice, up hill and down, staring, puffing, running, swearing, everyone trying to get ahead, until around the huge hill east of Nevada they were lost from view. By and by, they came back by ones and dozens, and twenties— tired, hungry and thirsty, demoralized, cross, and declaring that, for white men or darkies, hung, beheaded, or quarter ed, they would go seeking no more. And so ends the ‘‘biggest sell'’ perpe trated on Virginians for some time. It was easy to know the ‘‘Viges,’’ for they were about the only ones who did not go—they and the candidates for clerk ships in the Legislature. Our curiosity seekers could have seen any number of the latter gentry hanging around the Legislative Halls, without walking half so far. Tas Wsatuer.—There is not much to say with reference to this rather threadbare subject. ‘‘From grave to gay, from lively to severe,'’ about ex presses the matter. Sunshine and storm—storm and sunshine, both in about equal proportions, have blessed us for the past two or three days, with a strong probability of us doing so in definitely, although not by ‘‘particular request.’” You Mient.—'‘Let me alone, you good-for-nothing fellow!’’ exclaimed a bright girl seated by the side of a dull lover. ‘‘Why, I ain't a touchin’ of you,'’ protested the astonished youth. “Well, you might have done it—if you'd liked,’’ was the suggestive reply. ‘ ‘‘I love my wife,’ said Mr. Caudle, ‘and for the first two months I felt as if could eat her up. Ever since I have been sorry that I didn’t.’’
