T Tho Sacramento Union gener-
ously dccorates its columns with an
abusive communication. false in seve-
raj particulars, directed against the
"editor of the Nevada Journal" The
editors Of that paper will accept the
assurances of our distinguished consid.
GRAFTON, and do US the slight favor to
restrain the contempt of their ap-
proved cor respondent. We are quite
able to understand and protect our
own "interests and reputation" and
are not afraid Of the latter suffering
in comparison with those who thus un-
dertake to supervise our credit.

Important Discovery. - The long
sought for continuation of the rich
Cayote lead has probably been discoy-
cred at last. From shaft sunk forty
feet down by Messrs. Rabbits Co. n
little east Of old Cayote Hill, when
still not down on the bed rock, eight
dollars to the pan were taken out on
Wednesday afternoon last. Two or
three dollars per pan have before been
taken out in the same shaft. A por-
tion Of the lead from q neighboring
shaft, belonging to Womack = Co. has
been submitted to our inspection, in
which particles Of gold were obvious
to the naked eye. Tho lead is dark
colored, and like the old lead, filed
with smooth quartz pebbles. If the
Cayote lead is re-discovered, rs apr
pearances seem to establish beyond
doubt, an immediate and vast acccs-
sion to the population and business of
Nevada must take place. Already,
considerable excitement has been
raised, and full five hundred claims
been staked off along the range. Our

times of so, when thousand men
made their piles, and uncounted num-
bers more made good wages.

Locofocoism. We are in the minority in

10 minority in Congressman that arises.
not from the unp,pulari,y Of the Wing

are not so well drilleda as our opponents. We
do not yield such implicit obedience to the
party lash as they do-and while they can
muster all their forces at moments warn
ing. we very generally suffer the elections
to go by default. 1t occurs 10 me. (of
course with all due Difference TO the opin-
ions of such as are better qualified to judge
than l,) that the State Convention should
be held in this City. on some day early in

and that general attendance Of Delegates
may be secured and full and free express
