From the Gold Mines.
CENTRAL CITY, Coz. TER,
January 18th, 1862.

r. w. FURNAs, Esa.-Dear SIR: AS
| have been in the Mountains two months
and availed myself of the opportunity of
looking around and studying the nature of
this country, l conclude, not as a CORES
pendent of the .AdUeytiser, but as a friend
of R. w. FURNAs, to give you my Opin-
ion Of matters and things here.
From all 1 have seen, and from diff
erent conversations with gentlemen of
experience, science and knowledge of
mining, | undoubtedly think these noun
tains will develop themselves to be the
richest mining country in the United
States, and perhaps as rich as any on the
Globe. Most everything is furnished
here in quantities-gold, silver, copper,
lead, IRON, chalk, plaster of paris, and
other ores that will prove valuable when
once worked properly. Last week a mill
here took out of three-quarters Of a cord
of quarts, $1,000 in gold, when assayed.
The mills are most all running, anddoing
much better than they ever have done
before. The deeper they sink their
shafts, the richer they find the quarts
with gold and the longer they run their
mills, the better experienced they become
in the art of saving gold from the quarts.
There has been before l arrived here,
and even since l came, much excitement
in regard to Buckskin lead, Montgomery
district; but many parties who have left
here and gone there, in a short time re-
turned, fully satisfied to risk their for
tunes in Gregory district.
At our last election in this county,
(Gilpin,) which contains about two hun
dred square miles, there were about $500
votes cast, and a little over 900 of that
number were cast in tins precinct. Cen

THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. I8. ls62.


Then ur with our aagl let it stream on the airl
Though our fathers are cold in their graves,
They bad hands that could strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And their sons we're not born to be slaves!
Up, up with that banDerl where'er it may call,
Our millions shall rally around;
A nation of freemen that moment shall fail
When its stars shall be trailed on the ground.
An unusual press of correspondence,
this week, crowds out all editorial matter
and local items.
This Jsyhawk and Anti-Jayhawk cor
~respondence was commenced, and has
been continued, contrary to our convic-
tons of propriety, and in our opinion
will be productive of no good. We will
give an opportunity next week for a re-
ply from the ''other side" if desired and
then ''shut down" believing that We can
fill our paper with more interesting mat
ter.

Public Meetlng at Nemaha Clty.


Pursuant to previous call, the citizens
of Nemaha county, assembled in mass
meeting at Ne aha City, Feb. 9th 1862,
for the purpose Of taking into consider
alton the best mode of averting the ap-
parent dangerous condition of our coun-
try, consequent upon the unauthorized
armed bands who have or may infest our
borders.
On motion Of Nh. A. H. Scoville, Mr..
Jonas Hacker was chosen Chairman,
and D. c. Sanders Secretary.
After the object OF the meeting being
stated by the Chair, Mr.. Barnes, Mr..
Pawling and Mr.. Lockwood were ap-
pointed a committee 10 draft resolutions
10 present to the meeting. After DELHI
GRAFTON the committee returned and Of
fered he following preamble and resOlu-
TORS:
Whereas, The peace-loving. and law
abiding citizens Of this portion of our
beloved Union, behold with regret, indi-
viduals uniting together under various
names and appellatiOns, ~ostensIbly avow-
ing as their object the maintenance of
Justice, law and order and the perpetu-
i Y of our Union but whose acts plainly
demonstrate that the best interests of our
citizens and our national Unionis not the
controlling motive Of their actious. Il
becomes US, nay, it is our imperative du-
ty as good. true and loyal citizens to dis
approve, discountenance and efectually
crush out any and all attempts of this
kind, coming from whatever course il
may, unless IL is legitimate, and emenates
from the Constitutional authority Of the
United States, and
Whereas, We fully endorse and ap-
prove the proclamation recently issued by
our worthy Governor, prohibiting men
arming and associating together under any
name or title, unless authorized by law,
and,
Whereas, The recent interference by
the said Unauthorized force with the
rights of persons and properly of our
citizens. and the lives recently sacrificed
without hearing and trial, thus abiogat-
nag all law, and t~ranpling under foot
the sacred right guaranteed to us.by our
Constitution, of a fair and impartial tri-
al by jury. and,
Whereas, We fully believe our civil
and present military authority ample and
fnlly sufficient for the preservation and
protection Of The persons and property Of
our citizens, therefore be it
RsSolred That J~ayhawking or anti
~jayhawking, Of whatever name or title,
unless authorized, known and acknowl-
edged by Government, IS a very danger
Gus power in our midst, and it is our du-
ty as law-abiding citizens to Indignantly
frown down any and all attempts of the
kind, as being productive Of anarchy and
destructive Of civil liberty.
On motion of Dr.. Holiday, after the
subject being amply and ably discussed

Yours,
ANTIJAYHAWK CORRESPONDENCE

Mr.. EDIroR: I have read an article
in your issue of February 9th, signed
Oscar" which purports to have beer
written in answer to 'Publius," in which
he quotes "Publius" thus: at is a fact
greatly to be l~amented, and much to be
wondered at, that some of our citizens,
whose positions ana opinions upon public
matters are generally correct, should
sanction this system of Jayhawking.''-
Now, Oscar" says that the reasons, and
only reasons why such a charge is pre-
ferred against them, are these; AT
the organization sometime since In Brown
vile and vicinity, called the Anti Jay
hawking company, several good Union
men, instrumental in getting up this or
ga~nization, conceived a Ito ,hem) grand
idea of joining, heart and hand, With al
most the entire portion of our community,
Who have been SO profuse in their praise
of the government of jeff. DAVIS, and
lavish in their condemnation of every act
taken by the Union men Of this vicinity
for the preservation of the peace, who
have in short, set themselves up as rep
resentatives of the South
Now, Mr.. Editor, mark the above,
"almost entire community who have been
so prOfuse in their praise of the govern
ment of Jeff. Davis, & Co." What will
your readers at a distance think of the
citizens of Browuville, and of Nemaha
county? That almost the entire commu-
nifty are rebels, The above, Mr.. Editor,
is a false and foul calumny on our COM
munity. 1t is true, there are a few per-
sons among US, who, when this rebellion
had been inaugurated by the South, and
whose friends were there, deeply SYM
pathised with them. But is that so Grim
inal? 1t is but the effect of the tender
erst passions of our nature. A rebel has
no apologist in me, but | wish to look
upon mankind as they are.
Mr.. Oscar" quotes a resolution of the
Brownville company as follows: THAT
no person can lawfully expect protection
to their property from this company n
less they become a member th%ereof."-
Well, / do rot see much in that, thought
opposed its adoption; yet it was intended,
by its friends to cause more to unite
for general safety. Did the company
confne themselves to it? No. They
went hastily to Peru to the relief
of the people when they were invaded by
those thieves and called for help. Yes,
they went farther. They went to Nc
Kesseck's grove. in Missouri, when they
were informed that rebels were there
harrassing Union men.
Now, this Oscar" in his apology for
those persons who "Publius" has so boldly
charged with the serious crime of Jay
hawking, he says, shave done nothing but
stand aloof and d-iscountenance this or
ganizatlon." Now the last statement is
false, with regard to some of them.-
They did much more. They ran about
the country and told the people that the

CITY among the hiIls-Quindaro where,
I am told, by those who have visited the
place, there is not level land enough to
align a Corporal's Guard. Our COM
mand, all but two companies. are already
in Quarters at the above named place ;
viz, Capt. o~urself, and Capt. LOvejoy's
companies we being rusty men-are
placed in charge of the quarsermaster's
stores; and, by special order. Ourself am
temporarily in command Of the camp
with orders to march down TO our new
quarters as o as Uncle Sam furnishes
us our teams, which, we are informed,
will be done shortly, if not sooner
One other event of more or less imPor-
lance, was the leaving Camp in conse-
quence Of certain orders, accompanied
with al uncertain number of charges,
one Capt. Haskell, prominently known as
"The Great Western Orator" who con
sidering prudence the better part Of val
or, retired from the service CT Uncle Sam
in disgrace. and could not have the hon
or of holding a fourth COrpOral's position
in my company.
Still another event is, Gov. Robinson
has been forced, under the pressure Of
circumstances, to give the Undersigned a
a commission of Captain Of Cavalry in
the United States service, beginning wnh
the year, (allhough denying The validity
of Davis's commission.)
Another important event IS the arrival
of Gen. James H. Lane to take COM
mand of an expedition into Missouri and
Arkansas, of which expedition we expect
to form a part. Since his arrival, the
soldiers and citizens IN this part of the
country are all enthusiasm, and all bound
for Dixie. Jim is wonderfully popular.
Even Capt Price put on his Sunday suit
to meet him. / have not yet had an in
PRODUCTION to his celebrated parsonage, as
1 have been on duty and have not had an
opportunity to visit the city, where he is
at present quartered.
We have sixteen cases Of measles in
our company, all doing well except VIM.
McNeal of Table Rock, who has meas
les and pneumonia combined. He will
probably not recover. The sick are all
as well provided for as they would be at
home. Monroe Gwin entered the hos
pital about a week ago, with the measles
and returned to camp to-day as stout as
ever yet, for fear of accidents, l have
taken him into my own tent, so that may
watch him a few days that he may not
take cold.
Friend Blackman, since the departure
of Haskell, or rather, since the cashier
ing of the Western Orator, is about to
get a Lieutenancy IN the New Mexican
Brigade. Long life to the Major. If
you had seen him and Judge Bell about a
week ago you would have beheld pictures
of despair more brilliant than painted by
Milton in his palmiest moods.

Mr.. EGitor:-In answer to a call of
many citizens for a mass meeting, to be
held in Nemaha City on the 9th INST, to
.ahe into consideration the good of the
nation, of our Territory and county, l
found myself in the afore mentioned city
long before the appointed time. Many
any various were the %conjeCtures as to
what were the plans TO be proposed for
the good of our distracted country. Per-
haps some plan would be devised 20 bring
the war to an end or TO take Manassas
and capture Beauregard Or Price, and
put the rebels to flight, all Of which were
the subjects of our most anxious hopes.
The meeting was called to order by
electing 8Ir. Jonas Hacker to the Chair,
and D. G. Sanders Secretary.
The Chair read the notice that bad
brought US together, and appointed a
committee who retired without instruc-
tiOns, to draft resolutions expressing the
sense of the meeting.
DR.. Holladay and DR.. Mcpherson
were then called upon to address the

trail City. Trade has been good, and
business of all kinds brisk and prosperous
since came here, and goods have brought
a good profit but | think as soon as
spring comes. the goods and produce bus
mess will be largely overdone here, and
goods will not bring as good profits here
as in the States, as hear Of many par
ties who are intending to bring on large
stocks Of goods at an early day and
there will be a great many from the
States in the mercantile business who are
nearly run down, as a last resort will use
their best efforts to ~replenish their stock,
in view of paying out of debt by selling
for cash here, and sustaining themselves
in the future.
Afew days ago -four and pork we're
scarce here. II is now different; the
market is over run, and pork is down to
eight cents in Denver, and -four is rap
idly declining. The flour Baker, Rogers
s. Co., hauled out for US would have sold
well, if a certain little water-miI just be-
low Nemaha City, had made it flour, in
stead of cross aiddlings. Out of 379
bushels of wheat sent to said mill by my
agent in your town, we got, 1 suppose,
lI5 sacks Of stuff called -four, by those
that ground it. l directed our agent to
send wheat to said mill, suppOsing we
would get a good yield and good -four
1 can speak for the -four being miserable,
and any one DESTROYS of knowing can
learn the particulars of yield in Brown
Vile.
Furnas, l think you could make ten
dollars here with your press, where you
make one there, by going in here strictly
on the cash basis. There is no printing
press here, and l feel well convinced
there is more work sent to Denver in a
month, of the kind you do, and is done by
you in Brownvllle in six months. Some
men there pay when you credit them
others no not; such IS my experiences
Here all expect no credit.
l shall be in Brownville during the
spring, but can not stay long, as l well
know it will not pay.
Yours, D.. ]. M.
P. S.-If any of your specializing citi-
zens desire to go into a good speculation,
if they will purchase some 200 or 800
kegs of blasting powder, and send through
Immediately, it will pay well. 1t is
worth $50 per key here, and very scarce.
Most men here who are able to buy
powder, have not the time to leave and
attend to the preIiminaries of getting it
through to the Missouri river. Money
can be more than doubled in the next
sixty days in the operation. M.
