Immcnse Joe. OF Proper,x.


II lie stated that Edmund McGehee,
Esq, about eighty years of age, residing
near Baton Rouge, La, has been strip
ped of his immense property by the Fed
erals. He owned 5000 slaves, and twen-
ty-seven cotton and sugar plantations,
including cotton factory which was
worked by 500 of his own hands. A
railroad thirty-one miles long, leading to
his factory, had been constructed by
himself with a sufficient rolling stock.
All the negroes, except about one hun
dred, have been taken off by the Feder-
ais, his factory ruined, all his plantations
desolated, his railroad torn up, and about
1000 bales Of c0tton lOere burnt BIZ the order.
Of Mr.. Nc Gehee 10 prevent its falling into
the hands Of The enemy. His loss in ne
groes and cotton alone is not less than
$5,000,0 00--RicRmOnd Wing.
If Mr.. McGehee is . rebel, and con-
siders the United States his enemy"
and was foolish enough to stir up rebel
lion to protect his slave property, he
richly merits all the disaster he has suf-
fered. His burning his cotton shows
what sort of a man he is. Let the trait
or die in the poor house.

1.-THE Object of the Democratic par'J IS to
get he present administration oat Of poDer.
When that 10 accomplished the time will
have come for he declaration Of an qf-
f,nlatiVe policy, but not till Then. The Op
position must all unite against the com
mon enemy, and then settle its own diff
ferences afterwards"
Exactly; conservatives, copperheads,
galvanized rebel sympathisers, fossil
partisans, armistice and compromise
men, must all join in wild howl against
the radical Administration, and not show
their hands, or avow their policy until
they get into power. This is the policy
of the pro slaveryites in Tennessee IS
well as in New York. But the mask is
too thin and dimsy to conceal the hideous
face underneath, and the nation jdisgus-
Cd. turns away to look with delight
upon the unvelIoa -na hS..;saant aoun,

heart beats with love for the whole hu.

Discussion.

As the election for the adoption or re-
lection of the Constitution is fast approach
ing, the discussion, pro and con, as to its
merits is waxing warm in Storey and
Ormsby counties. The press, it seems to
Us, is unnecessarily severe upon those
who have thought proper to array them
selves in opposition to the adoption of the
Constitution. \ large number Of our
best citizens men, whom we have reason
to believe are just as loyal, as true to the
Government, and as deeply interested in
its perpetuation as any in the Territory
have come out and openly declared their
opposition to the adoption Of Constitu-
ton at this time. These men are de-
nounced as traitors" CopperheadS,"
and enemies to our country-(we refer
particularly to the Carson Independent, as
using such language). Now, we consider
such course very unjust, and entirely
uncalled for. We live under free Gov
eminent, and to oppose or favor the Con-
stitut;on now before our people, is one of
the highest political privileges our citizens
can enjoy. We repeat, that such course
of wholesale denunciation, as has been
adopted by some of our Territorial press,
is radically wrong. Let the Constitution
of the new State of Nevada be submitted
fairly and squarely to vote of the peo-
pie, and let every good citizen bide the re-
suit as expressed at the ballot-box, and
all will be well. Personally, We are free
to confess, we have no particular feeling
upon the sabject, for the reason that,
whatever may be the result of the election,
we intend to remain true to the flag OF
our country and its laws, whether under
Territorial or State Government. With
this view, then, as public journalist
not wishing to enter the arena OF
elimination aud termination, and I'M
pleasant conuoversies-we to-day admit
iuto our columns communication from
"a Miner" who gives his opinion on the
subject as he understands it, and we.freely
tender the use of our columns to brief
and respectful communications written by
others, on either side of the question of
the adoption or rejection of the new Con-
stitution.

Notification Law.

Last winter, the California Legislature
passed law which has lately been often
spoken of by the press as the Notification
Law-but many persons have not known
what was meant by it. The Act referred
to, was law to enforce the payment of
all contracts made in that State in gold or
silver COIN thereby completely nullify-
ing legal-tender notes as circulating
medium-except where they were paid in
of judgments rendered in
courts. An attempt is now being made
to repeal that law, and bill to that effect
was introduced into the Senate on the
18th instant. 1t will open the great ex-
pected battle between greenbacks and
gold, which is likely to employ much Of
the time of the present session. The OPP
ponents of the specific contract law say
that it is a practical notification of the
legal-tendcr acts of Congress-that it dis
eliminates unjustly against the national
currency, and that it is unpatriotic Its
advocates say that it only regulates the
sale of gold as an article of merchandise,
and enacts principle of mercantile honor
into law of the State, protecting COM
merce against the dishonorable, and not
conflicting with patriotic duty, nor affect
ing national interests in any degree.
Should the bill to repeal it unexpectedly.
pass, the next move of those who desire
to change the currency of the State, will
be to introduce a bill making legal
tenders receivable for State dues. The
discussion of either measure will probably
lower the States credit to some extent,
until such time as the new project shall
either have been defeated or irrcvocably
