COIORAD

Five years ago, the White settlers within the
limits of this Territory may have numbered
three or four hundred, mainly trappers; but
there was probably not framed house, nor
aught that began to be village, within its
limits, save possibly in some New-Me1ican
hamlet near its southern eItrlmity. Less than
four years ago Denver, its only miners settle
meut, was a Log village Of perhaps hundred
buts, its principal hotel having canvas root,
log sides and no floor but the naked earth.
There may have been n thousand Whites living
Or. rather, stTolllDg-wlthin what ia now
Colorado on tie ls Of January, 1889 1t was
organized as Territory IN 1860. In 1862, It's
popular vote on delegate to Congress was o,12l,
or nearly twice that Of Nebraska, which was
organized in 1854.
Colorado is said to have produced Gold to
the value OF Millions OF Dollars during the past
year; but at what cost doth not appear. lndi.
yiduals probably have done well; but while
nearly everything consumed by the miners must
be wagoned SIX hundred miles from the Mis-
souri,, at cost Of 800 to $50 per tun, it is not
probable that tho great mass Of dggers and
washers have more than paid their expenses.
Gold that is worth SlS per ounce, and can be
produced for SI5 after the Pacific Railroad
shall have reached the Rocky Mountains, must
now cost S25 or $50, resulting in loss to the
producer. Yet the Colorado journals estimate
the product of 1863 at 1900, 600, or double
that of 1862.
Certain heavy capitalists Of the Old World,
familiar with mining and the conditions under
which it may be prosecuted with profit. are
soon to send out experienced and capable en-
gineers 10 scrutinize certain mining locations
which Mr.. w. Cornell Jewett offered to their
acceptance during his recent visit to Europe.

truth that All is not gold that gstens," and
that gold, like everything else, may cost Iaorc
than it Id worth. If their report should be
favorable, it will doubtless lead to large ap-
plication in due time, of foreign capital and
energy TO the development Of the resources OF
the new Territory.

CONCENTRATION OF EFFORT.

Gen. Hunter returns forthwith to the conf
maud of the Southern Department. and there is
very general expectation that his arrival at
Port Royal will be the signal for renewed ac-
tiyity thereabout This must depend, however,
on another matter, with regard to which We
are not and would not be informed--that of re-
endorsements. Twenty thousand men may
spend wear on the Sea Islands very safely, so
far as Rebels are regarded, but rather uselessly
SO far as the suppression Of the Shareholders
revolt is concerned. Such force is too large
for merely holding the Sea Islands and too
small for any considerable service beyond that.
We do not know whether it would be best
to withdraw half the force we now have in
South Carolina or to treble it and so ahead;
but we ought clearly 10 do one thing or the
other. We trust. therefore, that the Rebel re-
ports of heavy concentration of Union SOL
diers in North Carolina with view to an i'm.
mediate resumption of the offensive are well
founded, and that this force will either be
dispatched in good part to REINFORCE Gen.
Hunter or Gen. Hunter ordered to REINFORCE
it. If the Republic intends to strike telling
blows, it must double its fist.

THE CHARGE OF TIE CITY JUDGE

II IL the fashion, with q certain class OF
Democrats, just now. to seize upon every pre-
text, however frivolous, for assalliug the Adj
minis,raton. With this class the City Judge,
McCunn, has no sympathy nor utilization. His
colleague, the Democratic Recorder, may ha-
rangue the Grand Jury in denunciation OF the
Government, and lis associate, the newly
nedged Democratic District-Attorney, with all
the zeal OF a neopbyte, may lend swift counsel
in tie work Of disorganizatloni but, when his
turn comes Judge McCunn does not hesitate
10 condemn their conduct from the bench
His charge to the Grand Jury yesterday, which
we print elsewhere, presents strong contrast
10 that of the Recorder Instead Oi denOuncIng
the Government and counselipg the Grand jury
10 indict this or that member OF the Cabinet,
he advises them TO allow no unjust feelings, no
personal motives or animosities, no private in
tcrcsts, political or otherwise. to enter into
their considerations; but to close their doors
sacredly against every undue influence, no mat
ter whence il might emaDste. II is not to be
denied that IN some instances the Government
has dealt haIshly with individuals. BY arrestlng
and imprisOning them without trial; but it ID
not to be supposed that these extra judicial
proceedings were dictated by any other than
the purest motives, or that they were designed
to serve any other purpose than the good of
the country.
/ The late attempts by the Democratic press,
the Recorder, aud the Dlstrict-Attorney, to i'm
flame the public mind in regard TO arbitrary
arrests" have sgnally failed Under the guise
of redressing the wrongs of some of the "mar-
tyrS of the War Department." these "oppo-
nents of the Lincoln Government" took up the
case Of two persons who were shown TO have
been deeply implicated in swindllng the Gov
eminent, in the subsistence of soldiers, to Il
very large amount. The testimony obtained by
the War Commission, now sitting in this city,
demonstrated the true character of these "in.
iured innocents;" and, in spite Of the efforts OF
subsidized press, aud partisan Recorder
and District-Attorney, two successive Grand
Jures expelled the unclean creatures from their
, presence. Now, upon this double defeat, comes
the judicial condemnation of the City Judge.
He deserves, and will receive, the commende-
ton of all good citizens for his patriotism and
independence.

THE SITUATION I'm MlDDLE

The latest advices from Middle Tennessee
indicate that another struggle between the ar
mics of Gems. Rouecrans and Bragg will be
necessary to clear that part of the country Of
the Rebel forces. If the Rebel General pro.
poses to make good his assurances, aud ventures
upon another trial OF arms before surrepderiDg
the State to our troops, at his present posi-
ton in the vicinity Of Tullahoma, another battle
is likely to take place within two days march
of the 6ghting-ground before MurlreesbOro.
Gen. RoEecrans seems to appreciate the neces.
city of the destruction of the hostile armies as
vital condition of the suppression Of the Re-
bellion, better than any other of our command
ers, and hence We are inclined to think
that should tho enemy again accept battle, the
nearer it is to his base of operations the more
welcome il will DO TO him. 1t is true

with positions most advantageous for war

THE WAR.

News from Yazoo River to the 81 inst. confirms
the account of Gen. Netherlands abandonment Of
,ne attack on Vick,burg. The enemy had 60 OCC
men, and 100 guns in batteries, beside field artillery
Our feet had decided upon attacking some other
place.
Gen. Magruder, in his official report to the
Rebel War Department of the affair at Galveston,
says that four or five Union gunboats escaped igno
ainiously under flag of truce.
Our correspondent with Gen. Summers division
records the disappearance of a Rebel brigade on
s,tudsy. 1t is presumed that they have been sent
off to the South.
An important bill for coast and lake fOrtifea'
tons is to be reported to the House to-day. Some OF
its provisions are noted in our telegraph columns.

safety of Springfield, Mo. The proportions
given TO the Rebel attack upon that devoted
town by the first telegraphic reports seem TO
have been unwarrantably large. Such as 1t

The answer to this is very simple. Gen.

way better provided army than was opposed
to him-an army that was in high spirits over
the result of the conflicts ut Sharpsburg and

nearer to Washington and nearer to Richmond
than Lee was. The season was favorable, the

was expected, desired ordered, TO preserve
these advantages, by keeping his army between
Lee and the two capitals, and compelling the
Rebels to fight On ground pronering at least
equal advantages to our troops. He deliberately
disobeyed those orders, and allowed Lee to
