A new tunnel has been opened about
half mile below, and on the same side OF
the creek as the Buckeye, Empire and
Dutch tunnels, causing great excitement.
Good prospects were found.
1t is thought by the majority of old
miners, that the Buckeye lead extends
down the creek some distance; if so, this
will be one of the best mining districts in
the Northern mines.
several claims have been disposed OF
during the past week, rating from $1,000
to $4,000. 1t is the intention of a number
of the old settlers to start home in eight
or ten days, and the amount of dust in
their possession would make very exten-
sive provisions against rainy day.
The recent snow storm has caused a
number of houses to cave in, owing to the
negligence of the owners. The road is
yet impossible for pack-mules. The train
belonging to Messrs. j. u. Wood 4 Co.
reached Cold Spring Ranch on Saturday
evening, but had to return on Sunday.
l am informed that one company at
Smiths DigeinSs took out last week lS2
ozs. Several others run as high as 40 to
100 ozs per week. Since writing the
above have seen slug, taken from the
Dutch tunnel, weighing % ozs-solid.
In our village, Improvements are rap
idly going on. The trees on the hill side
are being victimized, notwithstanding the
suggestion made the other day by senti-
mental young man, slightly addicted to
poetics-"W Goldman, spare that tree!"

LIFE AND TIMES or DANL. OCONNELL

by THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER.
The above lecture was delivered last evening, in
the Tabernacle, TO an exceedingly numerous audience
the house being crowded to its utmost capacity.
Mr. Meogher was received with the most enthusiastic
applause, which was frequently renewed before he
was allowed to commence, and repeated during the
lecture His address opened with description of the
hbiect condition of the Roman Catholic population
of Ireland for long period antecedeHt 10 the birth
of OConpell-so affect that a Catholic could be
dstiDs uished by his sneakipg gait in the street.
A giant was needed TO grappe with and overthrow
the abuses under which this population labored ana
OConnen appeared fitted by nature aud study for
the task. Several of his legal political and parlla-
mentary displays Of power were described and VIM
dcation of bis character from the accusation that he
was anti-Tevolutionary was gone lbo at considerable
length. OConDel had often expressed his abhor-
7. nee of the atrocities OF the first French Revolution
hence the charge which Mr.. Meagher rebuted by adj
ducing several instances OF y C0nnels expressed
sympathy with revolution, as in the case of Bolivia,
Belgium. &c His opposition TO Irish Revolution
was alluded TO and the lecturer admitted that
he wac presumptuous enough TO wish tlat
O'Connen had thought differently about the utility
of bloodshed and the morality OF warfare.
In the commencement OF OConnells career he
was too fas for Tone Grattan, and other former
leaders OF the Irish people. The fullest credit
was allowed him for the effect which the pacific
Iature of the career he had marked out Tor himself
must have had on his sentiments. The lecture con.
Guided It'll description of the impoverished state OF
Ireland 10 avoid witnessing which y C0nneli, al ~
years of age with his brain already partially softened
by disease turned his steps toward Italy where ne
died and with a hearty accord in the opinion aud
