- There are plenty of wealthy Irishmen in
this city in business. They, as Irishmcn should
advertise in the Irish NcUS. But do they do so
We pity the Irish Cause if it had to wait for
some parties to help it along.-IriSh NewS.
The NeIcS is an able and high minded organ of
the Irish people, and does not smut itself by
preaching SecessioniSm or CoppcrheadiSm, us its
contemporary the Monitor. There are Irish inter
csts TO advocate and defend and q purpose and
legitimate channel for Catholic religious journal,
without deSecraIiug it to machine for spreading
Copperhead misrepresentation. We wish the
Irish Meas succrSs-Naryspikle Appeal.
We have never seen copy of the Ne,os,
but if it is sound loyal sheet, we wish it a
most extensive circulation among our Irish
population. That people, orrather the Cath
Ollie portion Of them in this country, have had
their minds poisoned by such rascally sheets
as the Monitor, ill the name Of Irish Catho-
lie has become almost synonymous with that
of Copperhead. A loyal Catholic sheet, or
one which would be content to disseminate
religious intelligence and news of interest to
the Irish population, without mixing it with
rank treason, has long been desiderGtum,
and if the .Nc,rS is such one, we shall be
glad to welcome it, and speak good word in
its behalf. Two Monitors now lie beneath
the brine, and we would be glad to hear that
the Copperhead organ Of that name was in
soak in the same pickle.

Catholicism and Slavery.

In abiding to the fact that the venerable
Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati voted for
Brough and against Vallandigham, being
the first vote he had cast in twenty-five years;
the Sacramento Bee says:
1.-THE Catholic Church has ever been the friend
of Universal freedom. 1t twas ChriSts mission TO
set men free and Christian people diSregurded his
prrcrpts and example when they seek to uphold
or prrpetuate Involuntary serritude. Cardinal
Wscman, whom he regarded as possessing the
loftieSt intellectual endowments, and many OF he
distinguished Catholic magnates of Europe, look

audience of great Catholics and declared that
man who holds human beings, black or white, in
bondage was the enemy of freedom and tyrant

unanimous plaudits. Not one of that distinguish

guiSed approval"

Latest from Charleston.

A dispatch dated Philadelphia, December
4th, says:
The supply steamer Massachusetts,, which ar
rived this morning from Charleston Bar, Tuesday
afternoon, December LIST, brought back the marine
battalion and several refugees from st, Johns
river Florida. who report that State in starving
condition. Lieutenant West reports that General
Gilmore continued to throw shells into Charleston
at the rate of twenty per day, and it was evident
they were doing considerable damage. Shells
were seen to burst at night The inhabitants of
Charleston had moved to the rear of the city. The
firing on Sumter had ceased, General Gilmore
turning his attention to the forts inside the har-
Dor, and terrific fire was kept up on Fort john
son. On the reception of the news OF Grants
victory. the army and navy fired grand salute,
aud shortly afterwards the rebel batteries
opened their fire, which was vigorously going on
when the Massachusetts left. The rebels for some
time had kept hospital flag flying from the Moul-
tric House, and of course we respected it but
yond the house, which revealed a formidable bat
terry which had been erected beyond it while I'M
der the protection of the hospital flag. A flag
now floats over Sumter, but only I'm occasional
shell il fired from its ruins.
Correspondence of the Herald, dated off Charles.

tcrirs ON James Island have been completely de-
stroyed by our shells A sergeant and private,
belonging to 4 Georgia regiment, stationed on

PULMONARY CoNsUMPTIoN.-Iu The american
Journal of the Medical Sciences is detailed
statement of four eases of pulmonary consump-
ton treated with the open air method and by
which recovery WAS the result The paper is
by DR.. Blake, of San Francisco. He says
The treatment have pursued has been to d.
rect my patient to live entirely in the open air
during The Summer months, at an elevation of
from three to five thousand feet above the level
of the sea, in our coast range of mountains,
where the temperature is very equable, and no
rain falls for five or six months They are direct
ed not even to sleep in tents, but out under the
trees Their diet was plain camp fare, sufficient
game being found in the mountains to keep the
camp supplied. Unfortunately, in no instance
have been able to carry out the plan of treat
ment, as the social position of my patients was
such that they would only avail themselves Of
the facilities offered by our Summer climate for
living in the open air. Had they been able TO
pass the Winter in Northern Mexico, where the
Winters are rainless, and the Winter climate in
the mountains exactly the same as that of orr
Coast Range dnring the Summer, have no doubt
that in every instance the disease would have
been more rapidly cured.
Among the contributors to this work are Doc
tors Warren, Prince, Flint, Wood, Bennett,
Duer and Homer, names well known in the East.

The State Seal.

After much debate intermingled with a
great amount of facetiousness the Conven-
ton have decided on device and motto for
State Seal-and a high old affair it is too.
1t is thus described in the report Of the Com
mittee to when the matter was referred:
"lu the foreground are two large mountains, at
the base of which is located on the right, quartz
mill, and on the left tunnel penetrating the sill
yer, leads of the mountain, with miner running
ont car load of ore to deposit at the dump, at
which team has loaded and started for the mill.
The valley in front exhibits sheat, pillow and
q sicle. In the background is seen range OF
mountains, and from a mountcin gorge is ap-
preaching very slowly, a train of railroad cars
4 telegraph line passes along the sides of the
mountain, flushing news of " richer strikes" aud
more glorious tidingS of our victorious Union
armies. On the eastern border Of the rising run
typitieS the brilliant dawn of Nevada Thirty
four stars encirclc the whole group, which receive
a silrery luSter from this youngest star OF the
Union. Your Committee propose tn" adoption of
our Territorial motto, TOleRS ct POteAS" expires
sing the two ideas of loyalty to the Union aud the
wealth TO sustain it"
This was subsequently 'amended by strik-
of "The Union shall be preserved" When
it is considered that the State Seal to be Of
any real service will be about two inches in
diameter, the reader will imagine what sort
of jumbled up hash the "coat of arms of
the State of Nevada will be. 1t would have
been very well, if instead of the motto adopt
ed the Report of the Committee had been
made part of the Seal, and the uninstructed
would then have been able to know what the
thing was. "ThiS is horse" was obligingly
written beneath the schoolboy's first artistic
effort, and we imagine this State Seal will stand
fully as much in need of standing inter-
probation. California has a similarly jum-
bled up landscape seal, and in order to make
it at all visible, it became necessary to en-
grave it about the size of dinner plate, thus
making the seal almost useless, as it is next
to impossible to take an impression with it.
Yet that seal is relieved by, and has dis
tinctive feature in the bold figure of the god
dess Minerva in the foreground. What the
distinctive feature of ours is, "quien Sabe ~
A dump" tunnel, sheafs, cars, sicklcs,
telegraphs, teams, mountains, suns, stars,
strikes and tidings are piled into chaos of
two inches in diameter an impression Of
which, on paper, will puzzle the devil HIM
self to .decipher. 1t is worse even than the
drunken miner on a Fourth of July spree,
which constitutes the heraldic device of our
Territorial Seal. 1.-THE Convention had sub
mitted the matter to an intelligent artist, we
might have had a creditable seal and motto !;
or even u commission of Chinese shoemakers
might have bettered it a little.

\ GRowL.-In the little squabble which
has just transpired in the election of a Rep
rescntative for this county, We had but very
little to say. Our reasons for this were two
fold. One was, that we were comparative
stranger in the Territory and were but slight
" acquainted in the community, and were
willing to let the matter rest in the hands of
older residents. Another reason was that
both the candidates were men Of unim-
paached loyalty, and we considered it no life
and death matter anyhow. When the mass
meeting "failed to connect" and we sup
posed was going to pass by default, we rec
commended that for harmony's sake in the
Union party everybody vote for Phillips.
When, however, it took place the next even
ing, and we saw a very decided and unanimous
spirit of condemnation of the action of the
Committee manifest itself, we contented our
self with stating the fact and keeping our
counsel until It was asked for. There was
such dissatisfaction, as was proven by BiSh-
ops vote at the polls. In stating that fact
we ID what we had good right to do.
There are few men who don't appear to
IKE it, and who seem to think we ought to
bow down and worship the Central Commit
Zee. We are neither at the beck and bidding
of that body, nor at that of any petty deu,a-
gogue who thinks that his predetermined four
bits week gives him license to dictate
course to us. If we ever did kiss mans
foot for the sake of baking in his oven, we
don't know ourselves.

editorial columns for seven hundred dollars, with

Como Correspondence.

Conc, LYON Co., December 7th, 1868.
EDITORS GOLD HILL NEWS I'm looking
over the columns of the young, yet neat, little
sheet, having the title Of the GOLD HILL
News, and being DESTROYS of seeing all enter
prises, which have for their aim diffusion o.
knowledge, elevation of morals, condemning
of vice and crime, as we'll as a source OF
speaking to the world of the untold riches o.
this Territory, will, if it may be deemed
worthy of a place in your columns from time
to time, post you in regard to the mines and
general news of this district of country.
Well, there is at the present time a great
deal of excitement in the town in regard to a
new lode that was found few days ago, by
one James E. Murphy, who brought some of
the groupings to town, and had il assayed by
L. Solomon, and it was found to contain SOB
in silver, and $66 in gold to the ton.
All was excitement, and men might have
been seen climbing the hill like mountain
sheep, all eager to get an extension on this
wonder of the world and from the notices
that are posted over the country, this ledge
evidently runs in every direction.
The ledge is one of those lodges that throws
out large groupings, and is from fifty to two
hundred feet in width. 1t is supposed to be
the same as the Whitman. it having much
the same appearance in color, as well as be-
ing on the same range of hills, and on line
with the Whitman. | understand the COM
pany on the first location will have some of it
tested in a few days, at the new mill.
The mill so long looked for is about to
commence crushing rock. understand it
will start up tomorrow, and then will be
told a tale of veal or woe.
The town of Como is all life, and has fair
prospects. Lots are becoming valuable-so
much so, that litigation has already COM
menced, but it is of no serious character.
