SILVER DISCOVERY.

Considerable interest has been excited in
this section for the past few days, OH ac-
count Of the discovery Of rich silver mine
below Grass Valley. The mine is situated
near RattIesnake creek, about five miles
southeast of Grass Valley. Messrs. Atwood
and Jenkins, who were the principal own
ers, have been engaged for some months
in working the mine, and crushing the rock
for gold. Near the groupings the rock paid
remarkably well, bat the receipts fell OIL as
they went deeper on the ledge. ks
A month or so ago, Mr.. Atwood noticed
that while crushing the rock the quicksilver
became coated with some metallic substance,
which prevented the amalgamation OF the
gold, and on having quantity of the rock
assayed it was found to contain large
proportion of silver. Since then, num-
Der of assays have been made both in Ne
vada and San Francisco, which have aver
aged about 600 ounces o. silver to the ton
of rock. Mr.. OFT, of Nevada, has made two
or three assays, the last one yielding 62O
to the ton. Near the surface of the ledge,
the rock contains very little silver, but is
rich enough in gold to pay for working,
as they 60 down, there is more silver and
less gold. af.
Mr.. Jenkins, who originally owned 600
feet on the ledge, sold halt of his interest, a
week or two ago, to Messrs Lawrence and
Snyder, of the San Francisco mint, for
81 900. Mr.. Lawrence took down guam
tity Of the rock, to have it assayed at the
mint, but no returns haveyet been received
of the amount it yielded. Mr.. Atwood owns
600 feet of the ledge, and has steadily re-
fused TO sell any portion Of his interest.
Mr.. John Gamble, of Nevada, who owns q
hundred feet in the ledge, has furnished us
with the above particulars.
There is prospect that the mine will
prove valuable, if 1t does not rival in rich.
ness the far-famed silver mines of Washoe.
The discovery will also stimulate others, in
this section, to prospect for silver veins

SECESSION IS SUBMissIoS.- Richmond
Whig very justly argues that Secession is
submission" The principal ground Of
Southern complaint is that the North seeks
to exclude that section from participation
in the Territories, won by the common
blood and treasure of oil the States, and in
which all sections should be admitted to
equal rights. But by secession, the South
virtually abandons the subject in dispute,
and leaves the North in the quiet enjoyment
Of the Territories Secession is the worst
policy the Southern States can possibly
adopt to maintain their rights for there Il
not single wrong of which they complain
that will not bc materially aggravated by
leaving the Union.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-05

How THE REVENUE Cutter WAS SEIZED.
Washington correspondents speak of the
arrival in that city OF First Lieutenant Un-
derwood, second in command of the reve.
nue. cutter Aiken seized by the Secessionists
at Charleston, who, Immediately on his ar
rival, reported to heSecretary ofthe Treas.
ury. Lieut.. Underwood states that Captain
Coste, the commander of the cutter, was an
avowed Secessionlst some time before South
Carolina decided to go out, and agreed,
when the State declared herself out OF the
Union, to resign and turn the vessel over
to him, Lieut.. Underwood; but, instead OF
doing so, be visited Fort Sumpter before
Major Anderson took possession of It, and
examined 1t for several hours, and finally
placed the cutter in such position as to
leave her at low water high aud dry on
land. While she was thus situated, the Sc.
cessionists took possession of her, Captain
Coste being still in command, and Lieut..
Underwood, being his subordinate, was, of
course, pOwerless to act Capt. Coste then
informed Lieut.. Underwood that his servi-
ces would not be required there any longer.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-05

PmATIcAL SCHEME.-The Charleston Mer-
curry, the leading organ of the disuniOnists,
in recent appeal to the people of Florida
to capture the forts located ia that. State,
discloses new feature in the secession
programme. 1t recommends that piratical
expeditions should be fitted out to prey
upon Northern commerce, and suggests
that the gold of California, on its way
through the Gulf of Mexico, will be amply
sufficient to pay the expenses. The Mercu-
ry says;
But let Florida hold these forts, and the en-
tire aspect of affairs is changed Such vessels,
in time of war, will have no port Of entry, and
must be supplied in every way from very long
distance, and that at sea; while the commerce
ofthe North in the Gulf toiH fall an easy prev
to oar bold pTlvGtecrs and California goId
toiH pay all such little expenses on oar part.
We leave the matter for the reflection and de-
cision Of the people Of Florida. ta
IfafLer "reaection," the people Of Florida
decide to adopt the recommendation of the
secession organ, they may be able to inter-
cept one or two California mail steamers,
and Of course would make rich haul; but
they will stand good chance of being
caught and hung as pirates.

APAcInc The Silver Age

A PACIFIC REPuBLIc The Silver Age,
published at Carson City, fayors the estab-
lishment Of Pacific Republic, in case the
Union is broken up and four or FIVE cOnfed-
eracles formed. 1t says:
We do not look upon the secession Of South
Carolina as dissolution of the Union, any
more than the death Of one, the baby, out OF a
large family, would break up the family. But
should the Slave States organize separate
Government for themselves, and the present
Federal Government destroy itself by falling to
perform the functions Of Government, thereby
making it necessary for reorganization, and
the formation of from three to five distinct con-
federacies, we are decidedly in opposition to a
union with any Of them, fully believing that a
separate and Independent existence, would be
greatly preferable to dependence on any OF
the petty republics or free cities, that might
spring up from the ashes Of the Union. In
these views we hold that there is no treason to
the country, no oencouragementto seceders, and
that their distinct avowal at this time, does not
conflict with religious devotion to the Union.
In the event the Union is destroyed, and
from three to nve con!ederacles formed, it
will then be time enough for the States and
Territories on the Pacific TO determine their
course. Bat any movement now towards
the formation Of a Pacific Republic, would
be merely playing into the hands Of the dis
uuionists, and assisting them in their trea'
eonable work. We should not regard the
secession OF all the Cotton States as the
breaking up Of the Union, and as CaIifor-
MIA cannot be materially affected by the
troubles at the East, we can we'll afford to
remain as we are until the present Difficult
ties are settled.

TRIBUNE ALMANAo-Wo are indebted to

IT isa singular fact that by the official can
vass of the recent Presidential vote in New
Hampshire, the Bell and Everett electors are
found to have precisely the same number oI
votes that were cast for Fillmore in 1856, viz
four hundred and eleven.
Tho above item Is travelling the rounds OF
the press, and is not correct. In 1856 the
Fillmore Electors had 422 votes in New
Hampshire; and the Bell-Everett Electors
had 44l votes in the State, at the late cleo
tion.
