GEN. DEsHA.-The Shelby News, in reply
to those who regard the arrest of this gentle
man by the civil authorities, after his release
on bail by the military, as impolitic and un-
just, writes as follows:
Now this is all CANNON. Gen. Desha is n
deep-dyed traitor. There is no use of smooth
ing the thing over, because he is rich, and So
cially occupies high position. BE recruited
men and took them to his son Benjsmin's COM
pany,-cOmmanded them until they Joined
Ben at Pketon, whittier he had gone with the
first portion of his company raised He also
furnished money and means to send off his son
Joseph'a cempany-the men who fred their
pistols vt the little boys in Frankfort.
The House of Representatives, in not expell-
ing him, may not have done its duty we do
not think it did; it may have thought the
Indictment pending against him for treason
rendered it unnecessary for the House to purge
itself. Whatever the reason, the members of
the House, in not promptly expelling the
ton, certainly failed in performing an inn
portsnt duty to their constituents and the loyal
people of the State. But this failure Of the
House is no reason why the courts should not
endeavor to perform their duty. If such men
as Lueius Desha are not punished for their
treason, no one should be. 1t is crying
shame in the sight of heaven to punish the
| ignorant ard deluded men who have been
sedueed into the rebellion by Gen. Desha and
that class of men and let the sedueers go un-
whipt of justice. If any are to escape let it
! be the humble and poor, the seduced; but let
/ the vengeance of the violated law be visited
/ upon the sedueers.

Our readers viii perhaps remember the
touching letters written from Newbern, not
long ago, in regard to the alleged abduction
and rescue of q young colored person. The
following item from the Newbern Progress
may throw some light upon the affair:
paragraph has been going the rounds of
the Northern press, stating that some Massa-
chusetts soldier lately rescued a fugitive. No
Massachusetts soldiers wears theIletter AN" on
his cap, and we are inclined to think that
prostitution was more the prime moving
power in the case alluded to than an abhor-
renee of the fugitive slave law. But anything
for sensation, whether true or untrue, seems
to be the motto of some correspondents.

THERE must have been at one time an over
whelming rush of the rebels on Mcclellan as
he was retiring from the Pamunkey to James
river, which occasioned the only disasters that
marked his movement, if the dispatch of the
lst instant, by the way of Fortress Monroe is
to be credited. That dispatch says he was
compelled to abandon his siege guns after
spiking them, and leave his dead and wounded
on the field The information comes in an in
direct manner, and we do not entirely credit it.
Still, it may be that it was impossible to extri-
cate them from the swamps. Ifso, it is much
to be regretted, but it detraots nothing from
the splendid character of the entire change of
his base of supplies Those on the gunboats
evidently did not comprehend the strategy of
the movement, and thought Mcclellan had re-
treated seventeen miles when he was falling
back to his new position in accordance vita
his pre-arrangements. We should not be sar-
prised were it to turn out that the whole dis
patch was an exaggeration.

Constitution is the foundation and life of the

does, that in order to preserve the Union, it i

slavery the fundamental law must be violated
and when the fundamental law is SET aside

MEXICAN MINE.-Many improvements have
lately been made in and about this mine. The
principal improvement, however, is in the
means of raising the ore dug in the mine. For
a long time past the ore has been wheeled in
barrows to the hoist-way, where it was shovel
ed into tubs and hoisted by means of horse
whm to the upper chamber of the mine near
the end of the main working tunnel, thence
carried out along the tunnel in cars to the
dump pile. By the new arrangement the ore
will be hoisted up a vertical shaft sunk con-
siderable distance back Of their old buildings
at the mouth of the main tunnel. and about on
line with the Ophir buildings. Here, over
their perpendicular shaft, they have erected a
large frame building, with wing or covered
way running west from the main building some
foriy-6ye feet and enclosing the broad and deep
cut. at the end of which is situated the vertical
shaft leading down into the bowels of the mine
two hundred and seventy feet below. The
arrangements for hosting the ore up this shaft
are different from anything of the kind we have
seen in the Territory. The power is supplied
BY very neat little engine, which sits at one
end of the main building and drives the hoist
ing apparatus. planted just beside car track
running to the shaft. 10 each corner of the
shaft are square timbers running from the top
to the bottom and serving as guides to square
frame of stout iimbers which. having grooves
in the corners. slides up and down along them,
as sash slides in its frame. In the bottom
part Of this frame, which ascends and descends
as above described, is a section Of car track
corresponding with the track running through
the building, where the frame is properly sus-
pended in the shaft. This frame is raised aud
lowered in the shaft by means of a stout cable
attached to its top and operated by the hoist
ING apparatus Now for the mode of hosting
with this machine A car is loaded in the bot
tom of the mine and pushed forward TO the
shaft and upon the section of track in the
frame, when up goes frame, car and all, to the
surface. Here it stops in such position that
the car may be pushed ont of the frame and
along the car track to the dump pile.
