Veteran REGIMENTS

One of the most encouraging features
of the times is the disposition manifested
by the veteran regiments to see the end
of the war. Very many of them are re
enlisting, and we have no doubt the ranks
of such will be filled with brave and good
mon before the opening of the spring
campaign. The cry Of abolition War
raised by the home traitors, has no effect
upon those who have for the past two
years endured the nardships of camp life
and exposed themselves to the missiles of
death on the battlefield They have been
where they have seen more and learned
more Of the real character of the war, of
the rebels, and of the policy of our ru-
lers in one week than all the copperheads
at home have seen or learned since the
commencement of the rebellion-and to
them the cry of arbitrary rule, " "uncon-
stitutional acts of the President" war
for the freedom Of the slaves" &c, has
no terrors. Many Of them prominentdem
ocrats at the opening of the struggle, with
true patriotic hearts, who love the Union
better than 4 cir party, are ready
when it is in danger to hazard life itself
for the salvation of their country. The
time for which they enlisted being about
to expire, when they might honorabiy re-
turn to their families and homes, they are
ready again to enroll their names for
another three years, if necessary, and
fight on until peace shall crown their eff
forts, and rebellion sink so low as never
again to rear its hydra head in the sun
light Of freedom Who Is not proud Of
the brave Veteran Regiments

From the Gold Diggings.

News from the mining regions shows
that the mines in eastern Oregon and
western ldahoe are opening richer and
better than was expected. The last boat
down the Columbia river, brought two
tons of gold, of which $50 pounds were in
the hands Of the Express Company, and
the balance belonged to fifteen miners.
\ private letter to Judge Edmonds, of
the Land Office from East Bannock City,
in eastern Idahoe, considered perfectly
reliable, says that every miner is making
good wages The highest yield has been
$500 to the pan The average is fifty
GEMS a pan of six quarts. The letter says
there can be no doubt that the country is
very rich in mines. Several lodes have

opened. One quartz mill was expected
to be in operation in two weeks from the

Louisiana Coming.

of Louisiana, on the 22d of February
The General expresses his convictions that
more than one tenth of tho legal voters of
the state, required under the President $
Proclamation, are in favor of returning
TO the Union.
Thus Louisiana will be the first of the
seeded states to return to her allegiance,
and she will be welcomed back, chastened,
purified, and freed, with JOY and rejoicing
by all loyal people everywhere.
And her example will soon be followed
by others of her ''erring sisters" Arkan-
sas, Tennessee, Florida and Texas will,
ere many months, be knocking at the door,
and, like the prodigal son, ask to be for
given, and received back into the national
household, from which they so fooli5hly
