SoUAw VALLEY MINES.

These mines, which lie in California, close
upon the border of this Territory, we have
frequently referred to. We have now before
US letter relating to certain tests Of rock
from several lodges in that district, from
which make the following extract, which
may prove interesting to those who have
lodges there, as we'll as those who may con-
template prospecting tour to the valley:
The Sicksburg have had tho most satisfactory
test cf any claim that | know OF. One parcel Of
rock OF 10 lbs. milled ut Folsom Sl2O per ton
another $50. and ut san Francisco 50 pounds
millrd only 80. These are figures that were re-
turned aud from Folsom the metal was sent with
the return. The owners of stock here seem IL
believe III the test ~ do not hear OF any offering
to sell aud in fact there no buyers here, from
the fact that there il no money. There are some
stories atlOat about the Blue Lead mine, but
can get nothing to base IN opinion Ont is as
says thai have been had, | think. l have heard
them stated at various figures from $50 TO SloU
but ASSAYS do not prove much more than that
there is metal in the rock. The Blue Lead have
run their tunnel some four hundred and twenty
feet What they have found do not know,
bur number of the owners here start tomorrow
to so up to the Valley.
We had an assay from the ChautLuque of
S6i4 per ion-this was from sacramento. Some
rock from the same spur only shows the trace OF
gold and silver, You know how hard il is to get
the truth OF these things, and reports Of rich rock
are Of little satisfaction, unless well authentca-

THE 3. G. AND B. TRAITORS.

We hear occasionally from old Californians
in the Southern army, who, of course, write
in the same buncombe style as other members
of,he Confederate States. They would not be
true "chirs." if they didn't. The last one
heard f IN was Calhoun Benha n, who writes
to his sister, Mrs. George D. Prentice. We
can look over with contempt all that such
men as Benham can say against our cause.
He is the same gentleman" who vas arres-
ted with Gwin and Brent, and after all three
taking the oath of allegiance, in substance,
not to fight or bear arms against the United
States, nor to assist the Confederate States,
through the earnest recommendation of Mrs.
George D. Prentice, he was released but in
a short time we find this beautiful trio assist
ing our Southern brethren" Gwin, when
last heard from, was in France, closeted with
Louis Napoleon of course Gwin wouldn't
say aupht against the United States Govern
ment; aud, of course, we all believe that Ma
poleon has peculiar interest in all our move
ments about this time. Benham is fighting
for Southern rights" and we sincerely hope
he will get his just rights. Brent was repor-
ted to have been killed in one of the late bat
ties; but we are afraid it isn't true. Prem
tice, we are sorry to say, has, at least, turned
out to be Il miserable Copperhead. One thing
We have cause to congratulate ourselves on,
and that is, the loss Of influence Of the latter
with the President, and his consequent non
availability to cause the release Of any more
prominent sccessionists to join the Southern

GEN. GRANT AND HIS LIFE IN Missouri.
Il have been profoundly interested in study
ing the history OF General Grant while
resident Of this city and county. All our
readers know that the Daily Wisconsin has
had but few favoriteS in this war. One OF
these is General Grant, whom it has never
deserted, and whom it sustained with unfa!-
terinE trust when so many others condemned
him. This man has rendered such inesti-
mable services to his country that ! have
been tracing his carly and modest history
here with an interest l have rarely felt in
any subject. Six years ago he occupied the
little farm to the southwest OF st. Louis,
where he was in the habit Of cutting the
wood and drawing it 10 Carondelet and sell
ing it in the market there. Many Of his
WOOD purchasers are now calling to mind
that they had a cord OF wood delivered in
person by the great General Grant. When
he came into the wood market he usually
dressed in an old felt hat, a blouse coat and
his pants tucked into the tops Of his boots
In truth, he bore the appearance OF sturdy
and honest woodman. This was his usual
winters work. In the summer he turned
collector Of debts; but for this he was not
qualified. He had a noble and truthful soul;
50, when he was told that the debtor had no
money, he believed him and would not
trouble the debtor again. One Of the leading
merchants of st. Louis mentioned this cir
cumstance to me. From all l can learn of
his history here, he was honest, truthful, in
defatiCable-always at work at something;
but did not possess the knack of making
money. lie was honorable, for he always
repaid borrowed money. His habits of life
were hardy, inexpensive and simple. About
his being an inebriate, find nothing to con-
firm it. On cold day when he brought a
load of wood to Carondclet market, he would
take something to keep himself warm This
so far as l can trace, is the foundation Of
many reports Of his inebriety.-tS. Louis

The GOLD BILL.-In the dispatches re-
eeived Yesterday. occurs the sentence, "The
President has signed the Gold Bill" The
provisions OF ,ha: bill are intended to put an
etfectual stop TO the causeless fluctuations in
the price of gold, created by the tricks Of the
Wall street gamblers. The bill makes all
sales or agreements to sell gold, silver, or
foreign exchange, null and void, unless the
whole amour. is paid and the transaction
completed at the time Of the sale or agree
ment to sell. ANY partial PAYMENT, made On
such a sale or agreement, can be recovered in
court OF competent jurisdiction, BY the
payer, or even an outsider. OF the money so
recovered, one-third goes to the United States
Treasury. One-third to the Prosecuting AttOr-
ney, and one-third to the informcr. Rather
binding on the honest bulls and bears, who,
meath the shadow Of tail Trinity, do engineer

ONE KIND AcT.-When Mary and were
married we were young and foolish, for we
had nothing to be married with but Mary
was delicate and thought could take care
of her best. knew had a strong arm and
brave heart to depend upon. We rented a
chamber and went to housekeeping. We
got together little furniture-a table, bed
stead, diShes-but our money failed us be-
fore we got the chairs. | told Mary she
must turn up a tub for I could not run in
debt. No no It was not long before our
rich neighbor, Mrs. M, found us out and
supplied us; half a dozen chairs were added
to our stock. They were old ones to be sure,
but answered Just as well for us. l shall
never forget the new face those chairs put on
our snug quarters, they never looked just
right before. The tables are turned with
Mrs. M and me now-she has turned
out poor widow-but she shall never want
while have anything-ncver! | shall never
forget those old chairs. All. now the secret
is out. 1t was the interest of the old chairs
which maintained the poor widow. She was
living on the interest of little friendly act
done years before, and it suticed for herself
and her daughter. How beautiful it is TO see
how God bIesscs the operation OF his great
moral law, "love thy neighbour" and we
should oftener see it, should we look into the
hidden paths of life, and find that it is not
riches-nor self-interest-nor fame that binds
heart to heart. The simple power Of a
friendly act can do more than they. 1t is
thcse-the friendly acts, the neighborly kind
nesses. the Christian sympathy of one
towards another--whjch rob wealth of its
power to curse, extract the bitter sorrows,
and open the wells of gladness and desolate
homes. We do not always see the golden
links shining in the chain Of human events /;
but they are there, and happy is he who feels
their gentle but irresistible influence.
