The foregoing is brief synopsis of few
of the wise provisions Of the Nevada Consti-
tutional Convention. The bright star that
will soon deck our banner, bids fair to pre-
ent model Constitution when it knocks at
the doors of Congress for admission as a
State. Like her glittering mountains of sill.
yer, which has to be refined by fire before
contributing her products to the prosperity
of our Nation, the convention is about pre-
pairing charter as the basis of their future
greatness, which could not have been adopt

ed By the dogma of State Rights, and they
have proGted by the important teachings

make that doctri: the fundamental princi-
pie Of our future governmental polity.

A meeting of prominent book and news

this city. To-day a delegation from them
consisting Of Messrs. Raymond, Appleton,
Harper, Osborn, Wilson, and others repre-
senting various parts Of the country, held
a conference with the Committee on Ways
and Means and presented their reasons
why the duty on paper should be reduced.
It was stated before the Committee that it
would cost eighteen cents per pound to i'm
port paper with the duty all of. At the
present duty of IS per cent. and with ex-
change at go per cent, not one pound could
be imported, consequently no revenue
could be obtained from this source until
the duty was reduced. There is no duty
on imported rags.
No apprehensions whatever are enter

SPECIAL DISPATCH ES,
ITO the Chicago Tnbune.]
FROM VICKSBURG.
Exploits of the Queen of the West
---She goes as far as Port
Hudson---Rebel Batter
les command the
ViCkSburg Canal.

i 4 CAIRO, Feb. IL 1868.
The news is important from the Mem
Phis Bulletin, and we extract the follow
ing;
We have advices to Saturday evening.
The news is most interesting. Reports
have been on the streets for the past TWEEN
ty-four hours to the effect that the ram
Queen of the West has been sunk, but we
rejoice to say that the report is unfounded.
On the contrary, the Queen of the West
has returned safely to the canal at Vicks-
burgh, where she now lies protected by the
guns of a rifle cannon battery.
1t appears that after passing the
guns Of the lower battery at Vicksburg,
she went on toward Port Hudson. On
her way she encountered three trans
ports, heavily laden with provisions
for Vicksburg These she sunk, and
from the boats took between fifty and six
ty prisoners. The crews were allowed to
go. One prisoner was a Colonel in the
Confederate army.
The Queen went seVenty-five miles below
Vicksburg, near enough to Port Hudson to
receive their fire, but having cut off rebel
communication between Vicksburg and
Port Hudson, made no attempt to pass by,
butreturned again safely past the lower
batteries at Vicksburg, and now lies at
the foot af the canal, opposite Yicksburg.
This great feat of the Queen of the West
has had a most beneficial influence on
the spirit of our troops, besides substan-
tial advantages have been secured in cut
ting off supplies and destruction Of trans
ports. About four miles below Visks-
burg, opposite the mouth of the canal
cut by the Federals, there is battery
planted which, it is suspected, may COM
mand the mouth of the canal, so that in
the event of the canal being made avail
able any boats passing through would be
exposed to the fire of the battery. Only
few shots have been received from it, and
they harmless, but it was thought possible
their harmlessness might be a result in
tended by the enemy for the purpose of
inspiring confidence, so as to give Oppor-
tunity for destruction if the Union people
should anchor any number of transports
below the canal when that work is COM
pleted. 1t is evident number of boats
without steam up might experience fear
full injury before they could be got out Of
gunshot. The case shows the wariness
and penetration of the intentions of the
enemy that is exercised by the command
ers of the expedition, and justifes the
risks run by the Queen of the West, whose
researches will be valuable throwing light
on the positions occupied, and their
strength below the city of Vieksburg.

An army letter says a deserter states

TIE LAZY CLuB on SLEI0HRDE.-We
had nearly lost track Of the " Lazy Club, %
and thought perhaps the organization had
broken up, or rather, fallen to pieces, for it
hadn't life enough to break up. It seems,
however, that the Club still draws out an in
dOlent existence, for we heard of them ont on
a sleighride yesterday afternoon. A sleigh
was PR cured with a long box, well filed with
straw, on which the members Of the Club re-
posed at full length-teO lazy to sit up. They
had pair Of the LATEST horses in America,
so lazy that two or three of the mozs indolent
members of the CIab, who didn't reach the
Club Room until the party had been gone
three hours, found they hadn't started Al
though beyond the meridian ofhorsehood they
were never shOd butOnce-too lazy to throw of
a shoe. Why, sirs, after those horses had
started they were never less than half mile
behind their own shauows, and their shadows
kept sending back to hurry them up.
The party got under way at length and
started towards East Cleveland. Going up
Euclid street they saw the President of the
Club on ahead. The driver yelled to him
to wait and get in. With hundred yards
the start Of that pair of horses he was too
lazy to oVertake them He was Immediately
reelected for the ensuing year. In turning
a corner rather short, the sleigh upset; the
lazy fellows rolled out, but they were nearly
half an hour in doing it, they rolled SO slow.
At length a toll gate appeared, far ahead,
and one of the party proposed that they run
the gate, (the runagate.) The proposition
was adopted, the driver applied the lash, and
a few slug yish shouts of encouragement to
the horses were heard to ooze from the Club
The attempt to run the gate was a failure,
for although the horses didn't stop at all they
were SO long getting through that the gate
keeper made the Club pay heavily for she'd
rent.
They stopped at several places for refresh
ments, but had them brought to the sleigh,
belonging to that class of dogs who positively
refuse to " git out, f" under any circumstances
After refreshing at WHght's, the Club re-
turned home. They run no more gates but
had a very narrow run from being run over
by the Pittsburgh train, although they had
half an hour in which to cross the track. At
the same time they adopted a resolution,
censuring the driver for putting them through
so rapidly. They reached the city after dark,
and being too lazy to go home, slept in the
sleigh all night. They need " club"

The Concert and Masquerade Ball, given
BY the Carnival Club, at Chapin's Hall, last
evening, was abundantly successful. The
Concert, in the fore part of the evening, by
Leland's Band, was very excellent, and
gratifed the audience much.

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL
RoAD.-This important six foot gauge rail-
road is now complete from Salamanca, on the
New York aud Erie road, to Raw emma, Ohio,
on the C. & P. R. R. The first through pas
senger train arrived at Ravenna on Tuesday
last, the 10th inst. A celebration was con-
tsmplated by the citizens, but the train came
in before it was anticipated. This road will
prove of immense Importance to Warren on
the C. & NJ. R. R., and also to Akron, when
finished to that point The distance now
graded and equipped with rolling stock, is
24O miles. Salamanca, the terminus, is des-
tined to be a noted place in the annals of
railroading operations. 1t was named after
Jew by that name, native of Spain, re-
puted rich. Mr.. Salamanca has loaned ex-
tsnsive funds to the proprietors Of the A. 4
G. W. R. R., which is probably the reason Of
said town being named after him. 1t is a
small place, only containing few old fash
ioned houses. We understand this great
thoroughfare is designed to connect with the
Dayton and Cincinnati railroad and continue
from Cincinnati by the Ohio and Missis-
sippi road to st. Louis. No doubt most Of
the inhabitants of that portion of country
will derive great benefits from its completion.
