another refreshing shower in the city yester-

the country was yet more blessed. To the

their ledge richer than ever. From appear
ances they Judge that the ledge is some D or
30 feet wide, consisting Of the richest rock
as vet found in the Hill. We were shown
piece this morning (which had been burnt)
that was completely covered with gold and
silver globules, the gold largely predomina-
ting, This seems singular, as the Gold Hill
claims have appeared to run into silver as
they have been worked down upon the ledge.

Jcsr So.-DeBow's Review (organ of the
Southern slaye-owning ariStoeracy) said since
the war began 4" The real civilization of
country is in its aristocracy. The masses
are nodded into soldiers and artisans by in
tellect, Just as matter and the elements of
nature are made into telegraphs and steam
engines. The poor, who labor all day, are
too tired at night to study books. II YOU
make them learned, they soon forget all that
is not necessary in the common transactions
of life. To make an aristocrat in the future
we must sacrifice thousand paupers. Yet
we would BY all means make them-make
them permanent, too, by laws Of entail and
primogeniture. The right to govern resides
in very small minority; the duty to obey is
inherent in the great masses Of mankind.
All government begins with usurpation, and
is continued by force. There is nothing to
which the South entertains so great dislike
as universal suffrage. Wherever foreigners
settle together in large numbers, there uni
versal suffrage will exist" There is the OBJ
ject of the rebel leaders and instigators stated
in few words, and so plainly that all can
understand; yet there are "poor, who labor
all day." foreigners" or those of foreign
birth-men who ought to be opposed to
entail and primogeniture," and who should
favor universal suffrage-who not only sym
pathize with but aid and abet the traitors.
We have them here all around us-but they
have not vet seen their folly. They are sin
ming against their country and mankind, and
will ere long seek forgiveness from their fel-
lows whom they have so grieSously offended.

DISTORTED IDEAS OF TIE WEALTH OF
WASHoE PREVALENT IN WAsHINGroS.-A
CORRESPONDENT Of the S. F. Bulletin says:
There is much earnest inquiry abroad to dis
cover from what source Sapient official sta
tisticians at Washington ascertained the ex-
ayrerated Weld and wealth Of the WashOe
kingdom. As vet no theory has been salts
factorilv advanced. We do not know the au-
thor of these celebrated statistics no more
than ysc know "who wrote Junius. The
last Eastern, or rather New York city estl-
mate, brings up the net value of the Washoe
mines 70 81, SOC, 900, 600, so easy are hgures
coined o; all persons within the past year
who have returned to Father Abraham's bo-
som the present Governor of the Eastern
Slope would most likely be the person whom
the President and Ministers Of State and
grace would chiefly consult for reliable Ne
vadan statistics. l well remember once
sending to the Bulletin an estimate of the
prospective tonnage and freights to Washoe,
showing profits to California for the years
1862 and 1868. Our course, l could not fore
see nor foretell the additional impetus about
to be given, when afterwards all the Western
world turned "honest miners" My eSti-
mate was about 81 SOC, 900. Judge of my
surprise when, few days after the Bulletin
had printed my modest statement, read an
extract from mountain PRINT how the Gov
eruor of Nevada estimated freights to
washoe during that period at 5,OOO,O 900. By
subsequent extraordinary concurrence of
events, perhaps the Governor was not far out
of his reckoning. But his estimate was in
the clouds by any known data on which such
enormous figures were based at the time they
were made Neither the President, nor the
Secretary of the Treasury, nor any other
financial agent at the Capital, may have
sought the opinion of the Governor of Ne

it proceeds to absurd taxation of mines on
this coast. No time should be lost.
