Dead Editor.

A paper in aneighboring State, after Civ
ing long obituary of deceased brother
of the quill. thus in glowing strains con-
concludes: ''We are glad, also, that such
an editor is in Heaven! The Cry of more
copy shall never be heard. He shall be
abused no more by his political antagonists.
with lies and detractions that should shame
demon to promulgate. There he shall no
more be used as ladder for the aspiring to
kick down as they reach the desired height
and need him no more. There he shall be
able to see the immense masses Of mind he
has moved, all unkowingly and unknown,
during his weary pilgrimage on earth.
There he will find all articles credited, not
a clap of thunder stoIen-and there shall
be no horrible typographical errors to set
him in fever. We are glad the editor is
in heaven

salmon River Gold Mines.

The Rocky Mountain Ne,Os publishes a
letter from E. B. Waterbury, we'll known
resident of Colorado Territory, in which he
gives glowing account of the auriferous-
ness of the Salmon river region. If the
writer's statements approach anything near
the truth, they are decidedly the richest
gold bearing places on the continent. He
says that men have taken out from one to
eight ounces. and there is plenty of proof
to substantiate it, as the gold is in the
hands of the lucky miners, to be seen, test
ed and weighed. Though they were open
ed but last fall, the shipments from these
mines have amounted to two millions, and
this was taken out by only few miners. as
many were not aware CT the existence of
the deposits in that newly discovered coun-
try. He states that no one could find
place that was not rich enough to mine gold
sufficient to last him through the winter,
while instances of success were not unfre-
quent. According to his statement, there
will he 10000 persons leave California for
the mines this season, while large numbers
will also leave Oregon. The mining sea-
son commences in April, and lasts until the
first of November. The mines are in Wash
ington Territory. and cover a large area of
country. He advises all persons who go
overland to bring all the provisions and
stock they can, as there will be demand
for it. We presume that this discovery will
create renewal of the gold fever that swept
over the country few years since.

Contrabands to Cultivate the Abandoned
Plantations.

The system adopted by the Government
on the Sea Island of South Carolina, is to
be introduced into Virginia. Gen. Wool is
Charles Wilder, the superintendent of con-
trabands in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe.
| to grant passports to colored persons to 10
to Hampton, Fox Hill, and elsewhere with
in the lines. and to cultivate the ground and
use the property of rebels in arms against
the Government, or who have abandoned
their homes. The same thing should be
done in all eastern Virginia, which is near
unless the negroes take possession of it. All
this region is said to be unsurpassed in fer
tility Of soil, and is adapted to the growth
of cereals and vegetables all kinds. The
negroes of this section know how to till the
soil in the rough way to which Virginia
farmers are accustomed-indeed they don't
know anything else-and if insured proper
protection by the Government they would
prefer to remain in Virginia, and to live on
the farms where they were born, and which
they look upon as their proper homes, in
stead of wandering off to seek an uncertain
subsistence in the North. The Northern
States do not want them, and it is in every
view matter of policy, as well as of JUS
tice to the negroes. that they should be al
lowed to remain where they are, and be as
sured of freedom and protection at the hands
of the Government. 1t is very much to be
desired. therefore, that the system adopted
by Gen. Wool should be extended through
out eastern Virginia, and that wherever the
disloyal shareholders are driven out by our
advancing armies. the loyal negroes should
be encouraged to remain and cultivate the
farms and plantations for their own benefit.
