Governor Nye at the State Fair.

His Excellency, ON the occasion of the
closing exercises of the State Fair, on Fri
day, was called out by the audience, and
made the following very pertinent re-
marks, as reported for the Virginia Union /:
If any person had reason to be proud
to feel well on the present occasion-he
believed it was himself; for he could well
remember but little more than two years
ago, when he came to this country, his
vision was greeted with one vast desert of
sand, or lofty ranges of barren, sterile
mountains. There was actually nothing
to cheer him but the pleasant faces of the
kind hearted people who met and welcom-
ed him, and whose kindness he never
should forget. He then thought his lot
had been cast in most unpleasant place ;
but he was delighted to say that his i'm
preston had experienced change; and
when he saw the countless, rich and beau
tiful productions of the soil around him,
he could not but ask if so much can be
done with the green tree what may not be
accomplished with seasoned timber
[Cheers and laughter. If Pixley can
raise 600 pounds of pumpkins from a sin
gle seed now-what will he not be able to
do in years from now? Laughter
Man is the only disobedient creature of
infinite wisdom-he alone disobeys the d.
vine command. For there was not par
ticle of earth that would not obey the
command" bring forth If properly
managed, as there was abundant evidence
to prove around Us.
We have here proofs that the soil of
this Territory, if managed with judicious-
ness and care, could be made to bring
forth not only enough for the uses of its
people, but great excess. The very bar
renness and difficulty of raising crops is
of itself a proof of God Almighty's wis
dom. Here are, we people, almost cut
off from all intercourse with the world by
vast ranges of snow-capped mountains
We could never-were our soil ever so
rich, and our crops never so abundant
hope to obtain market for our pro-
duce but, in lieu of this, God has given
US abundance of a production, one wagon
load of which would buy provisions for
the whole people of the Territory. Loud
cheers. We have, here the material to
attract the produce of the world. When
he came here he little thought he should
ever behold such scene as that around
him. To some it is given to plant in faith
what they never enjoy the happiness of
reaping; but to him had been vouchsafed
the glorious privilege of planting the seed
of this infant State, and yet hoped to have
the honor of disrobing her of her mantle
Of Territorial existence, and to see her is
sue forth in the full, noble, proud attire of
a sister among the great sisterhood of
States in the glorious Union. But yes
terday. my friends, your infant steps but
marked the sand; to-day you stand forth

The MINES IN NEVADA TERRIToRY.-
Bishop Simpson in a late sermon at Chi
cago, thus speaks of the mineral wealth Of
Nevada Territory, from which region and
California he had recently returned;
When in California, visited the mines,
and thought the time would come when
they would be exhausted; but in the mines
of Nevada no such indications arc visible.
The more the mines are worked, the richer
the Weld. The extent of the lodges con-
tanning the precious metal no man has yet
been able to measure. will mention a
single instance, to give you some idea Of
the inexhaustible supply. In what IS
termed the Ophir mine, single lead, as it
is called there, is fifty-five feet in thick
ness, and inclines only at an angle of five
degrees. Think of the extent of that
nearly as far as from this altar to yonder
wall. This is all silver mingled with gold.
There is more gold in value than silver,
but more silver in weight than gold. The
company have only two hundred feet
working, and out of that they are now
realizing about $4,000 day. There is
this peculiarly about it, that the deeper
the mine extends the richer and more
profitable it becomes. When I was there,
they had penetrated two hundred feet.
There were FIVE chambers which they had
dug out. one under the other, leaving three
large pillars to support the roof. They
would sink a shaft down about forty feet,
make another platform, dig out the metal,
leaving pillars as before, and then sink
another. One of the directors told me
each lower platform gave as much yield as
all the other platforms combined; that is,
the fifth platform was as valuable as the
four above it put together. Such wealth
was never matter of contest among the
powers of earth before.

To Secretaries of Mining Companies
in this Territory.

In our yesterdays issue, we briefly al
mded to the duties of Secretaries of Min
ing Companies, whose mines are in this
Territory. but who were incorporated
under the laws of California, and have
their offices, or principal places Of bust
ness IN San Misunderstanding that it is
imperative upon such Companies, in or
der to legalize their notices, that they
must be published in the nearest ne,cs-
paper to the mine. We now propose to
show what the laws of the Territory are
regarding Companies incorporated under
our laws. 1t VIII avoid an endless
amount of litigation f the officers of the
different Mining Companies whose places
of business are in Gold Hill, Devils
Gaze, and Palmyra Districts, will comply
strictly to the requirements of the law in
making their publications required of
them. In the "Act to provide for
the formation of Corporations for GER
tain purposes" approved December 20,
lS62-page l64, section 10, Laws OF
Nevada, will be found the guide for Off
GERS of these Incorporated Companies. 1t
reads as follows:
SEC. 10. The Trustees shall have power
to demand and call in from the Stockhold-
ers the sums by them subscribed, at such
times and in such manner, payments, or
instalments, as they may deem proper,
notice of "a h assessment shall be given to
the stockholders personally, or shall be
published once week for at least four
weeks in some newspaper published at the
place designated as the principal place OF
business of the corporation, or, II none Is
published there, an some newspaper nearest
to such place in the Territory. IT, after
such notice has been given, any stock
loller shall make d.fIul: in the payment
Of he assessment upon the shares held by
him, so many Of suth shares may be sold
a Will be nec-s sary for the payment of the
assessment On all the shares held by him,
her. or them. The sale of said shares shall

at the Office of he company; proridea, that
no sale shall DC made except at public
auction, 70 tn highest bidder, after
notice Of thirty days, published as above
directed in this SEC ion, and that at such
sale the person who viii agree to pay the
assessment 50 due, together with the ex-
penses of advertising, and the other ex-
pvnScs of sale, for thc smallest number OF

in all the pride of citizenship in new
State, whose silvery productions and COL
den principles will shed luster on our
nations history. You deserve this high
honor. You have motley won it. You
have conquered the elements, and have
fought the fight of progress with faith
unconqucrable. And your success is meas
urably due to the we'll founded principles
you cheriSh-that the old form of govern
mcnt is that which must be sustained. 1t
is right. Agriculture has never fourished
so well as when under republican form
of government. The future of our i'll

stood. Future generations within her
limits will yet enjoy the pleasure of sit

with none to make them afraid. [Che7rs.1
The Governors remarks were received
with great applause by the immense throng

Gov. BRAMLErT On RECONSTRUCTION.
The new GoT?:nor of Kentucky was in
augrated a: Lexington on the second Of
last month. A copy of his inaugural adj
dress has just been received. The fol-
lowing is the Governors opinion on the
subject of reconstruction
No reconstruction is necessary. The
government is complete - not broken
not destroyed; but, by the blessing of
God, shall endure forever. A revolted
State has nothing, therefore, to do but to
cease resistance to duty and law, and re-
turn to its fealty, organize under its
Constitution as it was before, and would
be now but for the revolt, and thus place
itself in harmony with the Federal gov
eminent. Thus, all that was suspended,
by revolt, will be restored to action"
