Mn. RUssELL-.-
SiR--Ths editor Of the Miners Free Press.
IN The course he has pursued since his edilori-
a career commenced, has rendered himself
extremely ridiculous Having made an am
called for attack on the Miners Bank, in the
publication of two or three editorial articles in
his paper, and also communication of the
same nature from an individual in this place,
who could find no other vehicle for his tissue
misrepresentation. -Their attempts to mis-
guide the public mind, called forth reply
from the Presidrp, Of the Bank. That replv,
accompanied with The Statement, of the affairs
oil the Bank, made by the Prcsden, and pres
ent Cashier MI. Martini under o.lh, was
suc.i as could not be replied to without de-
scending to theusc Of language unbecoming a
gentleman.
The Colonhl affects to feel much sympathy
for the sutlerifgs al our inhahitanls---a orea,
calamity it is, to ho sure! What insolence.
poor distressed ciiizens Of On Buque! you
ought TO allalm.eting and make a public cx-
preston of your thank TO Col. Hamilton for
his sympathetic feeling. by the way, Col.
would you not like TO suffer II this same man.
ner Yourself 10 the amount Of il few thousands
and then your worthy correspondent, whose
remarks you make your own by publishing
them, when his solemn statement in The for
mor communication about the first insiaIment
is positively denincd he comes forward in a
second and believes it 10 be so and so. Again
the wonderful discovery he threatened to make,
,hat would cause the officers Of the Bank 10
tremb'e. he has revealed al last! and would
you have thought it, Mr.. Editor. terrible TO
relate! the President aad Cashier signed bills
Gas somebody has informed him) before The
Bank went into operation Oh weep! Mr.. Pre-
sdeni. and you, Directors OF the Bank, Tor
your days are numbered.

The prospect Of better times in the Lead
Mines was never more fattering than at the
present time. Almost daily do we hear Of new
discoveries being made in the country, and we
believe miners never were more industrious
than now, being prompted to further exertions
BY the success which has crowned the perse-
verance Of others.
