of the naval service, the organization OF which
was supposed to be for the capture Of New
Orleans, has wonderfully excited the curiosity
OF the Eastern press, though it has been quiet
" and uaos,entatiously fitted up and sept out
to Key West. almost unnotieed. The feet Is
composed of nineteen fore andaft schooners, of
noted swiftness, ranging from l52 to $50 tons
in capacity, and carrying one IS inch mortar
capable Of throwing 24l-pound ball. These
mortars are so arranged BY means of slide
and revolving bed that they can command
any range from perpendicular to q horizon
tai, forward aft or midships and, from actual
experiment they have been found equal to a
range of three miles, thus making it one OF the
most destructive weapons known in the naval
service. Besides this mortar, each vessel car
ries two or four rifed guns and is provided
with hooks, pixies, etc, for hand to hand
fight The commander of the feet is Capt D.
ID. Porter, L. S. n. whose flagship is the
steamer Octorora, whose peculiarity
consists in her model, which allows of her be-
ing run Up or down stream without turning
around, having rudder at each end. Should

at Ship Island and cooperate with Buffers
forces upon New Orleans, there has doubtless
been warm and quick work done there.

HrNBoLDr- Mr.. Steve. Falls. of this city,
returned from Unionville on Tuesday evening
and states that the miners in that region were
in good health and spirits confident that they
have mineral region second to none vet dis
covered. The National Company had sunk
shaft about 40 feet and drifted % feet each
way on the lode. They had taken cut about
90 tons OF very rich gold bearing quartz. The
Alba Nueva had their tunnel in about 75
feet with 4 connecting shaft 65 feet deep. The
Bonny Bellies tunnel was in l30 feet the
Peru was in - feet, and the Rising Sun Com
pany were running day and night. The only
great drawback which the miners have to con
tend with IS the want Of quartz mills, for they
certainly have the rich rock in abundance
Mr.. f. also states that in most instance Of
reported stock killing by the Indians, it is done
by white men, who are seeking to make mo
ney, and at the same time lay the blame on
the Indians. These men also change the
brands and otherwise rob men of their stock
and then join in the cry against the theyiug
Indians" Stock-ownerS ought to employ hon
est men to go down and watch for these chaps
and If possible. treat them to little powder
and shot; it would be none too good for them.
The roads were in good condition generally.
and the snow at the summit OF Humboldt
mountain was not deep enough to interfere
with travel.
The miners have all resumed work. with the
exception of n few companies whose locations
are high up in the mountains and still within
the Snow-bet.
The Cleopatra, Crittenden. Huntington and
Monte Crsto have each pushed their tunnels
in about eighty feet. The first two have
struck the ledge, and the last two are at work
in the casing The Cuba boys have gone into
their ledge about eighty feet, without getting
through. and are now taking out pay rock
that bears strong general resemblance to the
rock taken from the ComStock lead. Al par
ties. not only in Humboldt district, but in all
the mining districts throughout the Humboldt
country, are confident that theirs IS destined
to become pre-ominent amongst mining couu-
tries. and are now looking aaxiouSly tor the
establishment Of mills in order that they may
begin to realize something Of the wealth that
they have Corraied.
Spring Is opening finely; the upland bunch
grass Is growing finely, adording excellent pas
