REESE R1vER.-Vaious and conflicting
are the accounts which we daily receive
from this latter day Ell Dorado various
as the sources from whence we receive
them. Each account receives its color
ing from the individual fortunes of the
relator bright, if successful, gloomy if
disappointed. One of the latter stripe
writes to the Washoe Times .
al came here ito Austin] two weeks
ago, with nary red, and l hold my own.
There are many others know who are
doing as well as myself. The old saying
is, that if man holds his own he is
doing well here. There is no doubt but
this is rich country in gold and silver.
There are thousands of people rushing
here to make their fortunes, and many
them will go away without making dol
lar and minus all they brought with them.
The excitement is greater than I ever saw
in Virginia or Aurora, and l think when
it starts down, which it will before this
time next year, will be as great as ever it
was in Virginia or Aurora. Everything
in the way of living is very high-in fact
so high that before spring, if people con-
tinue to rush here, We will need some
thing more than we have at present to
reach it. There is nothing cheap here
except bad whisky, and that is not cheap
if man get more than one snifter day."

THE NEWS.

The dispatches which came over the
wires last night throw a strong light upon
the recent puzzlins movements OF the
Army of the Potomac. Meadc's unac-
countable backing and filing, and his ret
rograde movement almost to the defenses
of Washington, excited wonder, NORTH
cation and serious apprehension' for the
safety of the Capital. The milk in the
eoacoa-nut is now most satisfactorily ac-
counted for. Meade's refusal to accept
battle on the Bull Run battle ground, and
his continued backward movement, turns
out to have been piece of strategy, my
boy" Lee, while playing a shrewd game
in attacking Meade in considerable force
to cover a reinforcement of Bragg, left a
wide territory of the sacred soil in his
rear unguardcd. Toward this spot Burn
side was advancing rapidly, and on Fri
day 1.-THE day that Meade fell back, } was
within one hundred and fifty miles of
Lynchburg, threatening the rebel base of
supplies. This state of affairs necessitated
a retrograde on Lees part, and on Sunday
night his whole army fell back, pursued
by Buford and Fitzpatrick. The news
from England is of significance. The
British Government have seized upon the
rebel rams in the Mersey. That import
ant navy yard of the Confederates is
suppressed.

GENERAL RosEcRANs.-The rumored
removal of this able General has caused
much surprise and speculation among our
citizens. The Sacramento Union, on this
subject, says:
Is he to take command of the Amy of
the Potomac, Or is he to be shelved: We
are not aware that any charges of inefii-
cheney have been brought against him from
any quarter. On the contrary, his repu-
triton is higher than that of any other
General in the country, not excepting the
successful Grant. There are several rea-
sons for surmising that he is to be trans
ferred to Virginia. He has been frequently
spoken of in connection with that COM
mand. He outgeneraled Lee in Western
Virginia, as the rebels themselves have
conceded. The assignment of
the energetic, resolute and skillful Rose
Grams to the command of the Army of the
Potomac would be hailed with general
satisfaction. ...
Our sentiments, exactly.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

Nearly all of our contemporaries have
taken up and discussed the question of
the location of the Capital of the future
State of Washoe. Every town. hamlet
and mining camp appears to have aspira-
lions for the distinction except Gold Hill.
Our citizens don't want it. We have use
for all the spare ground in this canon for
the erection of mills, Westinghouse,
stores, dwellings, hotels and workshops.
Furthermore, We are honest quiet, sober
and sedate, and have an insuperable OBJ
lection to the contamination which would
inevitably result from contact with MEM
hers of the Legislature, State officers, and
the cumming accessories thereto at all
times and in all places inseparably per-
tanning The last place we have heard of
a. DESTROYS of the distinction is Aurora
Magnificent idea so handy, so near the
center of population! We think we see
that jumpng-off place the Capital of
Washoe. There is no very great objec-
ton to be urged against any of the other
places spoken of in this connection; but
it occurs to us that Carson is as fit and
proper a place as could be selected. 1t
is near enough to the center Of population.
and is readily accessible by the great high
ways of travel. Virginia is prominent
and powerful candidate for the honor. 1t
has many advantages over other towns,
in point of extensive hotel accommoda-
tons, law libraries etc. but it has also
its objections. As one of our Ootcmpora-
ries 1.-THE Union, we believe,) some time
since, very justly and correctly stated, the
experience of other States has decided
against their great cities as proper local.
ties for seats of government. Neither
New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Charleston,
nor Savannah, is the Capital of its State.
Sound policy has dictated the removal OF
the seat of government to more quiet cit
les. Virginia is, and undoubtedly will,
long remain the chief city of Washoe. 1t
would be of but triHing importance to it
to be made the Capital, while the better
policy of the State would be subserved by
having it elsewhere. Our friend of the
Reese River Rereiile, in wholesome hor-
TOR of a Floating Capital" like that of
California, suggests that the location of
ours be fixed by the Constitution. We
concur. 1t is not a matter of vital inn
portance where the Capital is located, but
it is important that the Legislature and
the people should not be vexed year after
year with the question of the "removal
of the Capital"

From this mornings Virginia papers,)
From the r OtOmac-Lee's Movements
E EXDlained,

From this mornings Virginia papers,)
From the POtOmac-Lee's Movements
Explained.
New York, Oct. 2l.-The railroad is
being repaired at Bristow. A prisoner
asserts that it is entirely destroyed for
the twenty-four miles beyond Catlett's.
Lees object was to capture our supplies
and to so disable the road that we could
not disturb him until another corps of his
army could be sent to Bragg and return.
F A special to the Times says, the mys-
terry Of Lees movements last week is I'M
covered, and part of his army was at
Culpepper this morning, being vigorously
embarked on trains for the Southwest.
LArER.-An officer just in from the
west brings intelligence that Lees whole
infantry force is to cross the Rappahan-
mock; Some of his cavalry are still on
this side, and part on the other. Our
reserve under Gen. Merit, yesterday adj
vanced az far as Warrenton Junction,
meeting but four rebel cavalry, who re-
tired as we advanced.
Lee Falls back.Burnside Threatens
his Rear..The enemy Pursued.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-A Washington
correspondent of the Times, with the army
of the Potomac on the 10th, says the sud-
den withdrawal of Lees army from our
front is explained. Information received
at headquarters at Washington, confirmed
by the report of deserters and prisoners,
render it certain that Burnside is gaining
a position in the rear of the rebel army
and actually threatening their chief base
of supplies. Lynchburg deserters state
that on Friday night Lee received posi-
tive order from Richmond to fall back on
Gordonsvillc with all haste and protect
Lynchburg from Burnside's advance.
Burnsides army is within l59 miles of
that place. Lee at once commenced a
retrograde movement completing his with
drawal from our immediate front on Sum
day night. This movement of the enemy
was suspected on Sunday, and prepara-
tons were made by Meade to reconnoitre
in force, in order to find Lees where
abouts; but contradictory information pre-
vious to the move caused delay. On
Sunday night positive intelligence was
received of the enemy's retreat. Buford's
and Kilpatrick's cavalry started at once
in pursuit, and at daylight next morning
the whole army advanced. Buford came
up with Lees rear in front of Thorough
fare Gap on Monday noon, when severe
skirmish ensued. The rebel cavalry, with
artillery covering their rear, wheeled and
gave battle. Buford met them with
cavalry and artillery, and fighting ensued
for four hours.
Rebel Rams seized by the British
GOvernment..What the Thunder
er thinks.
The British government has formally
seized one of the rams in the Mersey. 1t
is rumored that both were taken.
The London Times thinks Rosecrans
was defeated at Chickamuga, and charges
the Federal government with suppress
ing the news.

MINERVA CLAIM.
Changed Policy of Englan d.

Tardy justice is better than no justice
at all. Great Britain has came to look
upon American affairs in different light
from that in which they were viewed in
the earlier days of the rebellion. When
the excellent lady, who in fiction of law
stands at the head of that government,
got up before Parliament and "spoke her
piece" declaring an equality Of belligerent
rights between the United States and the
rebels, she did an inconsiderate thing,
and announced policy from which she
has been anxious to crawfish any time
these past twelve months. That policy
and the sham neutrality to which she
made pretensions, has constituted her the
worst enemy with whom we have had to
contend. That policy is to be changed.
From the Philadelphia Press we extract
the following. which is now couoborated
fully by the telegram of this morning:
THAT the steam rams will not be al
lowed to leave the Mersey and the Clyde
Is more than report. We have received
letter by the China which confidently
affirms it, and also throws light on the
changing, and, indeed, changed policy of
England towards this country. 1t is as
follows:
LIVERPOOL, September IL.
Whatever newspaper reports or even
dispatches from the Legation may say,
you need have no doubt about the Con-
federate rams being stopped, as have as
surance from one of the highest officials of
the British Government.
IAN entire change has come over the
English Government in its relations with
ms, and they are now most anxious to cul-
tivate a good feeling. The Confederate
cause is dead in England. The plans of
the Napoleon Rebel Confederates, which
looked so promising few weeks ago,
have suffered sad discontinue by the
change of feeling here.
1.-The Paris scheme was to embrol the
States and England, and then go in and
establish Grand Southern Empire with
Napoleon Prince at its head, and Sill
dell, Davis & Co., as managers. The de-
parture of the rams was to produce the
wished for result.
ut is said that CONSERVATION reigns in
the rebel councils in Paris. I know that
it does herein England. We have had
a narrow escape, but the crisis is past. If
France pursues her alliance with the
rebels, England is with US. 1 have trem-
bled at times at the imminence of the
danger, but, thank God, it is over, and
have done my share of the work"
The writer of this letter, which was not
intended for publication, is well informed
American citizen, with the very best
means of obtaining accurate information,
from has personal intimacy and relations
with persons of power across the water.

Gold Hill Mines.

It is our intention, as fast as our means
of information and our opportunity of
visiting the various mines of the Gold
Hill Range permit, to give . full, cor
rect and complete as possible history
and statistical account of each mine upon
the range. In this work we shall be de-
pendent upon the courtesy, of the different
Superintendent and Overseeers of the
mines, and shall endeavor in our visits
of inquiry, to give as small an amount
of trouble and to be as little trying to
the patience of those whose time we tres
pass upon as is compatible with the work
we have undertaken. We shall commence
at the upper or north end of the range,
and proceed southwark, taking if possible
each mine in its order. In pursuance of
this programme, we yesterday proceeded
to our starting point and visited first the
OMEGA CLAIM.
This is the most northcrly claim of the
Gold Hill range = Immediately adjoining
the Bullion. The Amega was located in
1889, and is portion of the ground orig
inally known as the Copper & Mills claim,
which has since been sub divided into
the Alpha, Minerva, Superior and Omega
claims. The last mentioned, being the
northern two hundred and ninety feet OF
the ledge. The work upon the Omega
thus far, has been merely of a prospecting
character, but the Company have now
commenced operations in earnest, and
upon a scale that looks like business. Ex-
tensive works are being erected over the
shaft, the main building being thirty
eight feet by sixty. The buildings are
being erected in the most substantial
manner upon a foundation of stone ma
sonry. The shaft now sinking is a
double one, each compartment being by
feet in the clear. 1t is now down about
100 feet, and progressing at the rate of
three to four feet per day. They expect
to strike the ledge at depth of 300 feet.
The hosting work is done by hand, but
the company will have an engine upon it
early in the spring. They are now work
ing eight hands. Robt. Apple, Esq, is
the general Superintendent, and ]. K.
Roberts, Esq, Overseer at the works.
We are indebted to the latter gentleman
for the above information.
The next claim in order on the range is
the
SUPERIOR CLAIM.
This claim occupies the three hundred
feet lying between the Omega and Miner
va. Further than prospecting the ground
no considerable amount of work has been
done upon this claim. We could learn
no interesting particulars concerning it.
Next in succession comes the
MINERVA CLAIM.
This claim is three hundred feet in
length. Substantial and handsome build
ings are erected upon it, and the work Of
sinking the shaft is steadily progressing.
1t has now reached depth of ITO feet,
and is nearly to the ledge which it is
daily expected to strike. The buildings
are of the same size as those of the Omega
Company, and the works are under the
supervision of the same parties: Messrs.
Apple and Roberts. This company will
have their steam engine and apparatus
early in the sDrino.
