Nevada Territory, Sept. 7,
j. Az daily read the TRIBUNE, and have never
seen ono item from ss Washoe," / thought 3
few notes and jottings from here might be Of
interest to you. Well do know that the at
tention Of the people Is turned toward the
seat of var, yet while we watch anxlousy
every movement there, ne can but aeknowI-
edge that without money our Government ia
poNerlefR. And here In these hills and val
leys Of Nevada, lies buried frexhaustib1e
treasure, and should the present war be Of
year's duration, (which God forbid here lies
wealth enough to lquidate the public debt.
The mines Of this Territory are being fast
developed, yet it will be many yenrs besore
their wealth is fully appreciated An hour
spent in calling At the Assay and Express
Office Of this place would give any one sub
stantial evidence lin the shape Of massive barB
Of gold and silver) of the wealth Of the
country,
Of the Territory, has sprung up a il by magic.
Where two and half years ago was barren
rocky mountain, with no sign Of civilization,
there now exists fourishing town With =
population Of sbout 5000, az shown BY the
centus taken but q few weeks since

operation or being erected in the Territory,
and it is conceded BY all thst these cannot do
the work required
Although nearly all are engaged in mining,
We are interested in the politics Of the ceun-
try also. It IVES feared last spring, there was
80 strong secession clement here, that they
would attempt TO control the Territory. The
"eeceshers were bold and defiant, openly de-
ellring their sentiments and expressing tneir
eJmF athies with the rebels, and they went so
far as to raise a Palmetto flag, and off.r oc-
casioral Insults to the loyal men. But the
election which Vas held on the 3lst Of August
proves the Union maD have strong majority.
Thsre vas in the field at one time no less
| than six candidates for delegate to Congress.
| One the nominee Of an Administration Union
party, one the nominee Of an unconditional
Union party, three independent Union caadi-
dates, and one Dixie caadidate-a nominee Of
the so1a]led Democratic party.
Thuh BY dividing the Union vote among five
| candidates, they were certain to throw the
election into the hands Of the DiHes, The
| Union men saw this at = g1anee, and many
were willing to support thnt man who Would
carry tle strongest Union vote. Inc ncmi
rec Of The Administration Union party, aud
alRo one cf the Independent candidates, re-
signed in favor Of G. e. Bryan, Independent
Union, caring u4orc foE tho tatetJ Of the Union
cause IN Nevada than their oWn eznolument.
None Of the others would resign, but vii

hoping to gain the honor Of representing n
IN Congress- The election is pnssed, and the
Union men have gained victory Judge
John CradlehaUgh, long Q resident OF the Ter
