QUARTZ IN GRAYBACK GULCH.-Messrs.
Hoyt, Liddie e. Webster have found rich sill
yer rock in their claims on Grayback Gulch, a
branch of Elk creek about quarter of mile
above the Spanish claim. The ledge was dis
covered in the bed of the creek in a placer
claim, and runs at right angles with the Span
ish lode. Specimens of the rock brought to
our Office by Mr.. Knapp, would, if found in
Washoe or HumbOlt, command the attention
of spectators and insure a demand for feet
in the ledge.

PICKwICK BALL.-AIr. Price, at the open

will inaugurate system that has become
popular elsewhere and will doubtless do the
same here. A public ball and supper should
never be mixed up together; let one party
give the ball, furnishing rooms and music at
low rates, and allow every one to procure re-
freshmentS where they please. When several
wish to eat together they can easily have it
at a restaurant where better meals
are always prepared than are ever furnished
for balls. This is the cheaper and better way
Of getting along with the matter. Ball sup.

1t is duty the officers owe to every man who
pays his license, to see to it that he is not
brought into competition with Others who do
not. The object Of the license system is to
raise revenue for the government of the coun-
ty, and to throw the protection of the law
around the licentiate; If these objects are not
accomplished few are required to pay while
others in the same business are not subjected
TO the same expense.

The Presidents song at Antietam.

Mani attan,' the New York correspon-
dent of the London Morning Herald, tells
the following anecdote of President Lincoln:
Fancy President, sir, calling upon an
officer on the bloody field of Antietam,
to sing him song. 1t is a fact
that President Lincoln, when he visited the
battlefield of Antietam, before the corpses
had been buried, called upon an officer, who
had been reported to him as a good song
singer, to step out and sing m song,' and
then in an open plain, in hearing of the dy-
ing aud in sight of the sightless dead, the of
ficer sung for the President of the United
States Jim along Josey.' What a splen-
did but much abused ruler old Nero was.-
His tyranny never slaughtered as many bod
les as Lincoln's incompetency, and though
he fiddled while Rome was burning. he new
er called out one of his officers to sing Jim
along Josey."
1t is mortifying beyond measure that the
Chief Magistrate of the American people
should be thus represented before the eyes
of the world. We trust that he will at once
instruct his organ in Washington or in New
York to deny peremptorily the truth of thi;
statement One or the other of them should
at once inform the public by auth ority tha
it was not an officer (of the army at least
upon whom President Lincoln called for
song among the fresh graves of our dead
soldiers at Antietam, and that the song tha
was sung to him there was not 'Jim aloDi

RAGs-It is a curious fact that nearly all
the rags annually imported into the United
States from all foreign countries come from
Italy. The circumstance is due to two
canses:
l. Italy Is in fact the receptacle of all tn g
old rags in Levent. The Turks. the Greeks
and Syrians use vast quantities of cheap cot
ton cloth; and the Archipelago and the
whole Levent are swept by the Greek and
Italian coasting smacks. about the size OF
our clam boats, who trade for rags which
country peddlers collect. These rags ulti-
mately get to Genoa, Trieste, &C., and are
shipped to America.
2. There being no free press and few books
printed there is no home dem and to work
the rags up into paper. The population ca n
neither read nor write, and, of course, epis-
tolary correspondence is rare. No country,
where the mass of the populatio can neith-
or read nor write, can afford to export rags.
Hence, rags and custom house returns yield
a clue to the actual state of society.

what saw at our Seat of Government.
We have Governor who knows his duty
'but doeth it not" Hsis charged to see the
laws faithfully executed and to uphold and
sustain the, Constitution of the United States
and of Kentucky. Constitutions and laws
gave us the right to hold Convention, but
ho saw them all trampled in the dust, his
fellow citizens driven away from their meet
ing by the soldiers, he knowing for weeks
before that the Convention was contem-
plated and making no objection to it.
He saw the only Court of the Country where
the crime of the meeting or the crime Of
their dispersion was cognizsble, with full
knowledge of what had transpired, dismiss
the grand jury which was in session, with
out requiring them to investigate it. and re-
fuse special jury to investigate and enquire
into all that had happened, at the instance
of respectable citizen and officer of the
Court-the Commonwealth Attorney
solemnly urge and beg the Court not to al
low the investigation. Both evidently fear
ing that il would result in showing that the
Convention was to be held for lawful pur-
pose, and that the delegates had been most
fouIly, wrongfully and unlawfully deprived
of their legal rights, and that one of the
most damna able cons Liracies against the right
of free speech and against the right of the
people to assemble to consider of the un-
happy condition of their country would have
been exposed.
No one blamed the officers or soldiers, for
it was we'll understood they acted under
orders. But the day may come when the
foul plot against our liberties will be un-
m asked and shown up in all its naked de-
formity.
These men who got up the scene I have
described, are trying to force the conserva-
tive people of Kentucky into a position
where they can have pretext to drive
them from the State and confscate their
property. Let DO man, however, lose his
self possession or be thrown off his balance.

ONE OF LINCoLN's CoINCIDENoEs.-By
Mr.. Lincoln's order, Mr.. Frank Key Howard,
of Baltimore, was arbitrarily arrested, and
confined in an Am erican bastile for fourteen
months. The coincidence he relates in .
late publication:
When says Mr.. Howard, speaking of his
first morning in this government bastile, i
looked out could not help being struck by
an old and not pleasant coincidence. On
that day, forty-seven years before, my
grandfather, Mr.. F. S. Key. then prisoner
on British ship, had witnessed the bonn
bardment of Fort McHenry. When on the
following morning the hostile feet drew of
defeated, he wrote the song so long popular
throughout the country. The Star Span
gled Banner AS stood upon the very
scene of that conflict, could not but con-
trast my position with that of his forty seven
years ago. The flag which he had so proud,
ly waved saw waving at the same place
over the victims of as vulgar and brutal a
despotism as modern times have witnessed.
The cry of the Republicans is God and
the Negro We only wonder that it is moi
the Negro and God.'
Why is Lincoln like one of his own 'little
snecdotes? Because his maker design ed
him to be laughed at.

Guerrilla Fighting in Tennessee
FROM WEADE's ARMY.

NEW YORK, Oct. %.
The Worlds special says, thus far Lee
has retreated without stopping to make
any considerable resistance, and the main
body Of his army is now reported beyond
the Rappahsnnock.
l understand that orders have been is
sued to push him to the wall and force him
to battle, but whether under the present
| circumstances battle will be obtained or
risked is matter Of conjecture. If the
rebel commander, as now seems probable,
gels fairly out of fighting distance, you
may expect to hear the fate of Rosecrsns
has been visited upon General Meade, who
has certainly been too cautious in pursuit.
Indeed hear it quite relisbly that Gems.

ton
LArEE.-Intelligence from the front to-
day, shows active operations for the pre-
sent are at an end. Gen. Lees forces are
beyond the Rappahannock, and probably
concentrated near Culpepper.
The statement Of the Washington pa
ers, that our forces penetrated that far, are
untrue.
Gen. Meade came to Washington to-day,
and after an enterview with the President
and General HalIeck, returned late this
evening to Headquarters.
A dispatch dated Headquarters Army of
the Potomac, October 22d, says
/ There is but little Of interest to report
to-day but it is not contraband to state
that an important movement is contem-
plated which will give joy to the hearts of
every true Union man, the nature OF
which cannot be communicated to people
who may prepare themselves for an agree
able surprise.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says
General Meade is here TO consult with the
President in regard to new and success
promising movement of the Army Of the
Potomac for the execution of which ar
rsngements are already being made. If
rapidly carried out as proposed, this move
ment will surprise General Lee, relieve
General Burnside from all threatened dan
gers and take Richmond before the rebel
army sent westward can be brought back
there.
