Gen. Jackson successor.

The following letter FROM member =
Hays Louisiana brigade, gives some idea
of the satisfaction 10 the army at the ap-
pointment of Gen. Ewell to the command of
Gen. Jackson's old corps.
CAMP NEAR HAMILToN's CROSSING,
May Goth, 1868.
For some time past considerable interest
was manifested throughout the corps as to
who would succeed the late and lamen:ed
General Jackson in command OF the same;
There were. of course, many surnises and
much speculation on the subject. Ea'ly's
division, firmly attached to their former
commander, knowing aud approaching his
valor and soldier like qualities espoused
the cause of their favorite chiettaln, Gen.
r. S Ewell, aud, encouraged by the fact
that Gen jackson, the sagacious aid vail
ant leader, had ii his last moments des'gna-
ted him as proper successor, felt sapgdlne
a. to the result. Nor were they doomed to
disappointment. On yesterday reliable iu-
formation reached camp Of his promotion ;
to day he arrived, and. as might have been
supposed, was received most warmly and
cordially. Lieut.. Gen Hill, Gen: Early,
and the many officers of the artiiy to whom
hs has during his military career endeared
himself were present to greet the hero once
more returned to tae service of his country
Gen Hays Louisiana Brigade was presen
in martial review to receive him, aud claim
ed the honor of escorting their former and
favorite commander to his temporary abode
Amidst deafepipg cheers and the rol!ln,
sounds of martial music he was once more
ushered into active service. May an all
wise Providence shield him, aud give veto
ry to the cause of which be is so glorious

Organizing at Home.

The people Of Alabama and Georgia are
organizing themselves into companies with
the view of presenting some obstacle to Yam
kee raids should they occur. 1t is easy for
body Of cavalry to pass through country
where there are neither soldiers nor armed
local guards to present some obstacle in their
way If those who are not in the field are
enrolled, differed and armed. even with shot
guns, they could be promptly called out,
and would in many cases afford efficient pro-
lection. and prevent the destruction Of a
great deal Of property. The example Of
Georgians and Alabamians deserves to be
followed elsewhere.

EASTERN NEWS.

The telegraph says news from the army Of
the Potomac is contraband. We leave the
reader to judge the reason. The public inn
patience is very frequently treated in this
manner from that quarter. How the pub
lie interests should suffer by giving the
movements of MeaGe's victorious army, is a
mystery. But nowadays the servants have
become rulers, and nation is held in sus
pense through the caprice of Il ,elegraphic
censor.
John Morgan's grand raid through Ind.
ana and Ohio, has come to a sudden termin.
alton bv contact with the Ohio soldiers, who
met, captured a large part, and dispersed
the balance of his force. Morgan himself,
with few men escaped.
An attack on the approaches to Charles

may bring the news Of a tremendous strug

pairing for it, as the Mayor of the city had
issued proclamation, warning women and
children, and other non-combatants to leave
the city.

NEW DIsCovERY-MIN1No ExcrTRNRNT


NEAR LAKE B1oLER, In PLAcER COUNTY
For some time past we have heard silver
indications spoken Of at Squaw Valley, near
the western shore Of Lake Biger; but the
finding of gold, silver and copper leads, has
become so frequent, that we did consider it
at all extraordinary. But i. seems big
excitement was pending, and now we have
i. in full blast.
As we learn the story, some miners have
traced leads from Virginia City TO the west
ern shore of Lake Bigler, and at Squaw
Valley found groupings in abundsnce-s
Of the loads being thirty feet in width. Pros.
pecting has detected the presence of silver,
and assays Of rock at twelve feet below the
surface show 500 to the ton. It is claimed
that, owing to the presence Of plenty o
timber and water, that ore yielding $40
per ton would be more valuable than ore in
Washoe yielding $50 per ton.
During the latter part Of last week some
three hundred men had collected in the
region of the discovery, and at the present
time several hundred more must have
arrived there. The sudden influx of people
-many OF whom were unprovided with pro.
visions, has compelled some to hurry away
for supplies, to return rs speedily as posi-.
bic. Already two mining districts have
been formed-the Truckee river being the
dividing line.
1t is said that some Of the prospectors are
so much encouraged that they have sen. to
San Francisco for machinery.
The above items we give rs we heard
them, without vouching for their truth, or
knowing whether squaw Val ey contains a
lead bearing single ounce of valuable min
eral. We do know, however, that the
reports have created talk and excitement
that will soon create Frazer river furore,
unless some unfavorable news arrives. In
the upper portion Of the county, about
Forest Hill and Michigan Bluff, men are
said to have gone afool and on horseback in
la &c numbers. Several of our townsmen
have taken flight in the same direction, de-
ternined to secure an interest in Washoe
No. 2, before all the best chances are taken.
If we were asked our opinion about the
propriety of going 10 the Lake to secure
claims, we should say "go by all means, AS
the distance is comparatively short, and if
yon do fail to secure rich silver lead, sou
will have taken delightful summer trip,
that you will never repent"
The distance to Squaw Valley from Au-
burn is seventy miles. The route is up the
dividing ridge between the North and Mid
die forks Of the American, either by way Of
Iowa Hill or Forest Hill. Stages run to
both these points, and from thence mule
navigation is good
