The last number of the MERGED Banner,
the leading secession paper i'll California,
excepting always the Democratic Press,)
has the following:
Fclons, lung fever, chills, and the pre-.
yailing epidemic, this week have conspircd
against us. But for truths, vcraciry, correct
political principles, and 4 reasonable share
of ability, we will pit the Banner against
any other paper.
No stronger argument is needed against
the doctrine of Especial Providence" and
the direct interference of God Almighty
in the trihing concerns of earth, than the
naked fact that corporal and mental suf-
fering are alike the inheritance of the good
and the bad, and that the den of arro-
gance, conceit, falsehood and blasphcmy,
in which the MERGED Banner is published,
is allowed to pollute the fair face Of His
footstool. No better proof of the lcnicncy
of the Government on the one hand, and
utter insisnifcancc and impotence of that
sheet on the other, is required, than that
poisonous rag is allowed the freedom of
the mails, and its editors allowed to walk
the soil in freedom, instead of being fet-
tered with balls and chains, and compelled
to associate with "felons" of another sort
than those which now aftiict them.

For GOYernOr.

We raise at the head of our editorial
columns to-day, the name of Hon.
CHARLES II. MORGAN, as n candidate for
the office of Governor of the State of Ne
vada-if the people adopt the Constitu-
ton. In presenting the name of JUDGE
MORGAN, we do so with the conviction that
he possesses every requisite qualification
which may be required of the En-
ecutivc of the new State, that is
to be. The Judge is Il lawyer by
profession, and has n large practice in the
courts of our county. He is man of
large experience in life, and at this time OF
just the right age to honorably and ably
fill the Chair of State; besides possessing
an unimpeachablc moral character. He
came to this Territory in the month OF
September, 1862, and by the interest
he has manifested in its public
affairs, has given evidence of being per-
manently identified with the future of this
country.
We desire to sec Judge Morgan nomi-
mated by the approaching Union State
Convention-belicving, as far as we have
been able to ascertain the expressed will OF
the Union party of Storey county, that
he is their choice for the position. We
shall refer to this subject again in day
or two.

The following items are from the Re
reiHe of last Tuesday:
DGADEM LEDGE.-This ledge is situated
on Lander Hill, short distance in front
of the Mills, Post & White. 1t was dis
covered several months since, and shaft
was sunk to the depth of fifteen or twenty
feet, but failing to find well defined
ledge, work upon it was discontinued.
Being satisfied, however, that there was
good ledge at that place, the company
commenced another shaft about twenty
feet from the old one. Their anticipations
have proven to be correct, and few days
since their perseverance was rewarded by
striking a fine ledge five feet wide, at a
depth of twenty feet in the shaft. The
quartz contains red oxides in abundance,
also some chlorides, and will undoubtedly
pay well. About five tons have already
been extracted, and work is being prose-
cuted every day. Some of it will soon be
sent to the mill to be crushed. We pre-
dict good returns.
STEPHEN \. DOUGLAS LEDGE. - This
ledge is situated on Lander Hill, short
distance back of the Seymour. An in
cline has been sunk upon it to the depth
of about fifty feet, and Il considerable guam
tity of ore extracted, several tons of which
are now lying at the mouth of the incline.
This ledge pitches well, not deyiatng
much from pcndicular.
SAMANTHA LEDGE.-Two inclines have
been sunk upon this ledge, both to depth
of over fifty feet. They seemed to be well
provided with windlasses, ropes, substan-
tial tracks, ETC., but when we visited the
claim day before yesterday, no work
seemed to be doing. This should not
long be permitted. The Samantha is 81
tuated near the summit of Lander Hill.
Rock taken from it has assaycd as high as
$4,000 to the ton. C!D
THE New TowN OF AMADoR. This
new town, laid out by Mcssrs. b. I. Hunt,
Bowe, Chase, Matheny, Meek and Kinsey,
is progressing rapidly. MoIe than forty
buildings, of various descriptions, have
already been erected in this town, and
perhaps an equal number in or upon the
outside. Preparations are being made to
erect many others, among them several
substantial stone buildings. 1t would
appear that the mines in that vicinity will
prove to be large, rich and permanent, and
that the new town will have correspond
ing importance. The site for the town is
certainly a most eligible one. The amount
of water in the canon above is entirely
sufficient for present purposes, and is Of

The CONSTITUTIONS, Question.

EDITORS GOLD HILL News Permit me
to communicate few remarks upon the
question agitating the country just now. l
shall not attempt to give any advice either for
or against the Constitution, because accord
ing to my understanding it is as well got up
as could be done according to the present
standing of the country; but at the same
time it may be no great necessity for us to
become State just yet. I am, however,
not going to argue that point, but it is the
free use of the epithet "Copperhead" that
propose to deal with.
When read in the papers and hear the
acrimonious disputes between individuals
about this question, it puts me in mind of
the hey-day of Democracy in California.
Anybody that expressed shadow Of doubt
about the "divinity" of the institution was
most bitterly denounced as Black Repub-
lican. So there seems to be an intOlerant set
of Unionists here, and any one that does
not take their "say so" for granted, must
right away be stricken from the Union party.
To such rampant Union men would say,
that there are many who go against the adop-
ton of the Constitution now that voted for a
Convention in September last, because that
question was nearly absorbed then By the
more important matter of defeating the real
Copperheads; but at the same time these
men, who now oppose the Constitution, have
always been against any undue haste in FORM
ing State Government before the country is
wealthy enough to bear the expense.
For the credit of the Union party let us not
use tee word "Copperhead" to one another
so often. A UNION MAN.

That Poor Widow.

Not since the narrative by the veracious
Mark Twain of the massacre ut Dutch Nick's
have We read more sorrowful or pathetic
tale than we read in yesterdays Enterprise
of that poor widdcr. We are not given to the
melting mood muchly, but that tale melted
us some. We remember having heard Of the
Widder Maloncy and her pig; also have seen
a picturs in the spelling-book representing
Mrs. John Rodgers and her seven small chill
dren, with one pulling at the breast; likewise
have seen picture somewhere in sacred his
tory of the poor widow putting in her mite.
But that pen picture Of the Enterprise mans
knocks the socks off them all. What pity,
charity, philanthropy, and humanity, are
there blended. There's that poor wilder,
and that charitable cusS contributing his
mite, these small childcrs, one of them tug
ging ut that poor widdcrs dress, the other in
those rude cradle without any paint on to it,
That Mexican woman giving that poor Wild
der the dress, that Mexican and those mule
giving her wood. That widdcr and those
charitable cuss breaking down, first the wild
der broke down, then soft cusS of the Enter
prise broke down, then they both had i break
uU"l-NHN uLuu IuSg haitH tuS. "O'tAN
have found it much easier. We intend max
ing picture of those occurrences, and have
no doubt, but that we can get it substituted
for the one at present proposed for the State
seal. We will have Mount Davidson in the
back ground, the honest miner, Mexican,
mule, and the soft hearted cuss in the fore
ground, and fill it up with that poor wilder
and small children, and break downs, and
rude cradle, etc., and if We can get Mark
Twain, " OF any other man" to furnish us a
narrative of THAT poor widder's trials while
crossing the mountains three weeks ago."
We will send over to Pine Grove, near How
land Flat, a short distance from Bal
lehac, and get a picture of that poor
widows husband, who died last April, and
try and manufacture legend for the seal.
According to a map made BY c. b. McDon-
aid, there is such place as Pine Grove, al
belt, at this time, there are no more pine
trees there than there are at Dutch Nick's;
and nary "widdcr" has come over from
there these six months. Try again, soft
hearted cuss and next time take some soap
along. you may yet succeed in finding poor
" widdcr." JOSH.

Big Little Politicians.

In residence of many years IN Cali
fornia, and actual participation IN the
politics of that State, we often noticed
that there were some men who hattered
themselves with the idea that they were
particularly designed by nature to be poll
ticians: when. in fact, politics was no
more their forte than dancing is one OF
the accomplishments of a hog. But still
they kept roofing in the filthy pool to
the disgust and injury of the party to
which they connected themselves. In the
short experience we have had over here IN
Washoe, it has come under our obServa-
ton that there are not few OF this same
old political parasite gang in the Union
party. They are what may be very prop
erly designated big little politicians. They
possess an inordinate vanity-imaSlne
that not only the welfare of the party but
that of the Nation depends upon their pc
culiar notions of public poicy-and woe
to him who happens to differ with them
He is Immediately denounced as bolter'
and even read out of the party, if he does
not meekly submit to keep his neck in
polieical halter, such as is sometimes pre-
pared by self-constituted leaders of the
party, at the head of which not unfre-
quently may be seen these pufed-up wire
pullers. We repeat that there is some OF
this fungus here in this Territory-and
from certain matters which have come I'M
der our observation within week or two
past, we suppose that the Gold Hill News
has come under the ban of displeasure OF
several of these gentry. We Will just
say that re are particular thunder If we
ever get on mans track-we invariably
get even, if it takes years to accomplish
it-and we would advise certain individu-
ais to Ego Slow" so far as the News Is
concerned.

SANTA CHrz PETRoLEuM-The Santa
Cruz Petroleum Oil Works Company ha,e
worked wonders in the last tfo weeks. A
road has been constructed to the Petroleum
Hills, one building, designed as quarters for
worlsmcn is already finished; another, two
stories high, and of larger dimensions, is al
most completed. The brick, for boiler and
engine, and for retort and still foundations,
are already on the ground. II the rains do
not very much interfere with the work, we
shall illuminate Santa Cruz with oil from our
own hills before spring. The supply of pc
trOleuIn and rock oil is giving out in the
East. Many of the refincries in Pennsylya-
mia and Canada have stopped work for want
of the raw material to work upon. Crude
Gil has advanced in price from 81 80 to 81
per barrel. There seems, in many places, to
be sudden exhaustion of the great reser-
voirs of oil sometimes, however, the springs
are intermittent, and resume their flow after
short cessation. The Santa Cruz Petroleum
Oil Works Company will not be annoyed by
any intcrmission or exhaustion of their sup
ply of raw material. The petroleum is all
above ground, and in quantity sufficient to
last 4 century. If by boring they should
reach a reservoir of oil, that would be clear
gain.-SaHta Cruz Sentinel.
