Central City, in the mountains--a distance Of
forty miles from here. Leaving here in the
coach at five O'Clock in the morning. we ar
rived ct our destination at 5 or O'clock in
the afternoon. This is making good time
considering what an uphill road tits. TWAS

what an amount Of labor and improvement

was surprising to me. for had no idea that
there had been such q change in so short a
time. / have far better opinion of those mines
now than l had week ago--every gulch is
filled with quartz mines. Most Of them are
getting TO work, nd everything betokens a
lively and prosperous future. Some of the
mills are doing well others are not on ac-
count of the want of water and various other
causes. The Nebraska mines took out Of l9
cords quartz Se765, and the Black Hawk
mine took out in four days some 5 1000. From
what have seen Of the mining reg on have
no hesitation in saying that | would not be
surprised if this was one of the best quartz
mining regions that has ever been discovered
Quite an excitement took place near Golden
City recently by the discovery of new gold
mines. saw some Of the gold, which looks
very good. How it will yield cannot say
There is an immense travel between here and
the mountains the coaches are crowded boh
ways-in going up and comirg down. The
road is much changed from what it was when

the past week has been very pleasant Yes
terday we had quite heavy fall of snow bul
to-day it has nearly all disappeared. The
coaches from the States are coming in filled
with passengers. The coach whicn l came
down in yesterday. brought $4,000 in gold
dust, which will be sent pert xpress coach to the
States in the morning. The amount of gold
sent forward by the express comp my the pas

UnustOn's Protest.

We have already noticed the protest Of
Gov. Houston against the usulpation of the
Texas secessionionists, AMI the fact that in
conseQut nee he had been depo:ed by the Sc
ccssion convention. We now have the address
in full, and subjoin a few Of the most pointed
paragraphs:
I may not b. sustained now butwhen mil
lions OF debt press uIon you, when the Uri-
ted SAFE bonds forming your school fund has
been squandered, and the money upon which
your present sChoo.-systcm is based is gone
when your public domain is wasted and taxes
are ground out of you, some of YOU at least
will remember that attempted to save you
from these consC quences.
You have been transfer red like sheep from
he shambles. A government has been fast
ened upon you, and yet you have not been
consulted. You are to have high postage
and all else in proportion, and TO fcrego the
freeman's privilege of elcctng your own Pres
ident and Vice President, provisional Con-
gress taking the matter out of your hands.
You are to support constitution which ig-
nores the very name of the people, and to 90
into a government where you are to pay trib.
ute to king cotton and enjoy the privilege of
eqality, until you are involved SO far that in
dependence will be impossible. and you will
be ready TO put the Safe of Texas, with her
territory equal in extent TO all the other cot
ton States, at the rear of the Confederacy on
the terms of slave basis. This is the pro-
gramme marked out for you.
Iprotest in the name of the people Of Tex
as against all the acts and dolngs Of this con
yention, and declare them null and void |
solemnly protest against the act of its mem
bers who are bound by no oath themselves in
declaring my office vacant, because | refuse
to appear before it and take the oath prescrib-
ed. "a a -e-...t
1t has accomplished its mission, and its
chief object has been fulfilled. If TO drive
me from Office, and to defeat the will of the
people, is an honor; it may wearit. To pre-
vent an opportunity to send message to the
Legislature, which meets on Monday, March
18th, | am required to appear at its bar to-
day and take the TEST OATH. Even Shy'ock
granted the full three days ere he claimed his
pound of flesh. The convention prescribed
that time as the limit, but its President has
been less gracious than Shylock, and camors
for the bond ere two days are gone. If am
thus deprived of the poor privilege OF putting
upon record my sentiments, through a refu-
sal on the part of the Legislature to receive
my message, l will lay the same before the
people, and appeal to them, as declare
would do in my inaugural. SAM HoUsToN.

why they Desire the Forts Evacuated.

why theg Deslre the fOTis Evacuated
A Washington correspondent of the Gazette
states that The great point which the confede-
rate commissioners hope to gain in the evacu-
alton of Fort Sumpter has been developed.
By the withdrawal of the troops, they main
tain that all Federal jurisdiction has ceased
oyer the so-called confederate states This
step on the part of this Government, they
contend, will medately insure the foreign
re ogution they desire. Not only do they in
innate that the evacuation of Fort Sumpter is
certain, but that Fort Pickens will soon be
placed in the same category. When this is
done, all doubts as to the acknowledgment OF
the Independence OF these States, il is maiL-
tanned, are at end. lai

The Transit of Slaves through Free States.
The Louisville Democrat, in an article on
the border State and Crittenden compromises,
says of the transit of slaves through the Free
States
If we claim this right of transit. we ask
more and involve ourselves in an inconssten.
cy obvious TO all men, The Southern States
are jealous of their right TO fix the status of
the negro in their own limits, and will not
tolerate the slightest interference with any law
or regulation they choose to make can they
consistently or safely interfere even for their
own benefit with the right of the Free States
to do the same? ? Would we ask Of others
what we would not grant TO them
1t will hardly be claimed that the right here
sought is matter of any moment and we
could not for SO small convenience require
State to relinquish a pirt of its sovereignty
which it has exercised over the subject. In
deed, il is not certain that Free S ate could
grant the demand without changing its con-
sitution. When it is provided that slavery
or involuntary servituds shall not exist 10 al
constitution, no law allowing il for any pur-
pose or for any time can be valid.

The Difference.

Under this caption the Lancaster "Union"
contains tire following remarks Every Owe
who reads them will at once recognize their
truhtulness. The horror evinced by North
crn democrats at the idea of enforcing The
laws against southern traitors is simply an ex-
preston of their hatred to the party in power:
"When portion of the federaIists in New
England set up an OPP o.lion to the war poll
cy of Mr.. Madison's Administrations thro' the
Hartford Convention, during tue war of 1919
no words were strong enough to express the
popular detestation of their action, and the
stigma adbeared to every actor in that pro.
ceeding so long as he lived. When South
Carolina resored to notification in 833, VIII AT
clamor would have been rased-and with
justice "a aLainst the wings, had they arrayed
themselves on that question against General
Jackson's Administration; but th,y did no.
Daniel Webster sustained "Old Hickory
with the force bill, end Henry Clay was the
pilot who weathered The storm. Now how
ever, after being defeated at the polls, "the
democratic party" proclaims in advance, not
only thatit will no; sustain, but that il is pre-
pared TO resist the incoming Administration
in every attempt to enforce the laws-collect
VIC iFNSHuSSI duu WdlIldiu Illf' integrity VI
the Union, against the democratic" traitors
and secessionists at the south. Had the state
fthe case been otherwise--had the rebellion
broken out in the north instead of the south
had The Republicans, beaten at the election,
svowed their purpo,e to oppose the new Ad
ministra ion ia every attemItto to suppress the
insurreclion, what an outcry should we have
heard from democratic" press and orators
what thunders of denunciation would have
rolled-what ligtnings of Indignation flashed
what appeals to. the people against the un.
patriotic party that sympathzed with the
norther bret ern!" Yet all this, the names
and positions of parties being changed, is just
what is true now Of the democratic party. ."
The seCessionists were members of that party
they share each others sympathy and favor
and that party in the north now arrays itself
against the constituted authorities of the
country in behalf Il the traitors and seces-
sionists who have set up a hostile government
in the cotton states. Such is democracy"
in its last analysis. ar..,
