A SENSIBLE N1GGER.-Out in Illinois a

and the Republicans bestirred themselves
and got him large audience. What was
their surprise however when they heard
him declare that the abolitionists are the
worst enemies the negroes have, and that
the emancipation proclamation is not worth
a row of pins. He was notified not TO
lecture again, and he left town on the next

TIE LEADING EXPORT OF THE PAsr IEAR--
Statistics, which have been carefully kept du-

Of the Pacific coast OF this amount, ST.
100000 comes from the eastern slope of the
Sierra Nevada; S5000,000 from Oregon,
Idaho. Washington and British Columbia
S2000,0 900 from Mexico mostly in coin the
balance being the product of the mines of Cal
ifornia west of the Sierra Nevada. These
figures exhibit considerable increase upon the
treasure receipts of last year for which the
silver mines of Washoe are entitled to nearly
all the credit. Considering the present won-
derful activity in mining enterprises, it is
probable that another year will show larger
increase in the production of precious metals
than has the last; but $50 100000 may be
regarded as an outside estimate Of the product
of 1864 from all the mues Of the Pacific coas.
