The MINING TAx.-The mining tax law,
which has been the subject of so much
discussion recently, both here and in Cali
fornia, appears to meet with condemna-
ton everywhere and by everybody, always
saving and excepting the Virginia Bulletin
and Samuel Sankey. The following brief
notice is from the Humboldt Register of
May It'll: a.s. ... .. De-
THE proposed plan of making serfs to the
Government Of all miners on the public domain
would, If enforced as explained in an article we
publish to-day, set back the mining interests in
this Territory ten years, at least. Making men
paw one dollar per foot for claims and five dollars
for the privilege of prospecting to ascertain Il they
are worth cent, would at once stop three-fourtha
of all work now going on in the newer mining
districts We believe in obliging men to pay
whatever may be necessary as tax on whatever
real wealth they have but not in placing q mill
stone of taxation about the neck of the prospect
ing interest which is yearly adding so largely to
the national wealth"

RAILROAD PRoeREss.-We learn that the
track Of the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany is now going down rapidly on the twen-
ty-sixth mile out from Sacramento, and the
company has good supply of labcrers and
all the rails, ties and other materials they
can use for long lime. A side track is to
be laid at a point eight or nine miles this
side Of Auburn, and when that point is reach
ed, which will be within less than week,
temporary terminus will be established, and
the Nevada lines Of stages will then connect
with the cars, thus considerably shortening
the time of these routes. Newcastle Gap,
three miles from Auburn, will probably be

Auburn, which is in one spot sixty-two feet

THE c1RcUMLocUT1oN OFFICE.
Our remarks about the circumlocution
office at Carson elicit the following from
the Humboldt REGISTER:


the Humboldt Register:
THOSE BILLs-The Gold Hill NEWS makes
grieyOuS complaint against the Territorial OH
cials for ordering printing and not paying for it.
They treated us the same way, ii that's any COM
for; to YOU. We've dropped on the explanation
OF the printing bills for last wear being laid
bills for printing Constitution, etc. You remem.
Der Territorial scrip was down 10 40 cents the dol
lar A funding bill was put through, under thu
impression that il was for the benefit of all Scrip
went mp to 10 cents. The printing bills were
considerable sum in the aggregate, and in order
70 keep scrip II - cents till all the hunkeys got
through, 1t was necessary to put of printing bills
till some subsequent winter. when scrip was down
again. Some of those hounds will suffer yet"
Whether the foregoing theory of ac-
counting for the milk in the Territorial
cocoa-nut is correct or not, we are not
sufficiently posted in the premises to judge,
and what is more. we don't care. As far
as we are pecuniariy concerned in the
matter, we are not sufferers to any con-
siderable extent-we bought our expert
ence at a low figure. 1t was not the
amount of money that raised our dander;
it was the devilish cavalier and noncha-
lent manner in which we were knocked
about like a shuttlecock by the official
battledores who constitute the /" gorern-
meat" of this Territory-(God save the
mark y Presenting a triAing bill for
printing, and then being set to working

down the other; referred first to one Ode

coolly told that our document had no
stamp on it, and wouldn't be paid if it
had" was, in our estimation, rubbing it
in a little too thick by a darned sight.
That was what was the matter at our
house. A beggarly machine like the
Territorial Government" the whole ar
chives of which could be packed in din

greasy for this rarifcd atmosphere. That
is the way it appears to our perhaps dis
torted optics.

TYpE-sETTfNG BY MACHINERY. - The
Type-setting Machine Company had hear
ing before the Committee on Manufactures,
upon their petition to be allowed to commence
business Immediately. Several prominent
gentlemen in the printing interest testified to
the value of the invention, and the necessity
of pushing it forward promptly. Our read
ers have been kept informed Of the progress
of the enterprise from time to time since Mr..
Felt first brought his invention to Boston,
FIVE years ago, and all will be rejoiced to know
that the task has been finally accomplished

History is well known in this community, where
he has resided about twenty seven years. He
came here with nothing but a sound mind and
good principles as his capital. Thisscapital
worked by persevering industry has placed
him, not among the very rich, but among those
who have sufficiency of this worlds goods
He has been foremost in giving his aid to all
improvements having in view the public good,
and has so used his means as to give employ
ment to those who needed it, and to build up
the town in which he lives.
On questions of political alnature, Gen. Buck

the Union now aud forever Every voter who
wishes to place man in Congress, who can
neither be bought nor sold, who will stand by
his country at every sacrifice, who can be trust
ed TO the end, should vote for Gen. Buckland.
The times call for such men. We have had
even among Union meh, or those who call then-
selves such, too many, who in the times that
tries men's souls, have not stood the test If
Gen. Buckland is elected he will be found
standing with those, whether many or few, who
believe in the rights of man, in one undivided
country, in peace if it can be had on righteous
terms, bat if not, in war to the last man and
last dollar for the preservation of the Union and

THE NEWS


The news this week Is Of the most gratifying
character TO all loyal men Gen Sherman's
long catalogue of glorious victories over the reb-
els in Georgia, has eliminated in the capture of
Atlanta, with 81 cannon, 5000 rebels killed
and wounded, 1900 captured, and large
amount of stores.
Sheridan has had several battles with the
rebels in the Shenandoah valley, in which he
has been uniformerly successful. In one en-
gagement he captured 500 prisoners.
The land-pirate and horse thief John Morgan
and 50 to rs of his Copperhead allies have been
killed, and his Staff taken prisoners. In con-
sequence of which the CoPperheads are in deep
mourning. fei
Gen. Grant reports that within the last thirty
days the rebel loss in front of his army is at
least 10000.
Gen. Sully's command had fight with 5000
Indians on the 9th ult, in which the latter were
defeated with the loss of $50 killed. Our loss
killed and % or thirty wounded.
The United States Frigste Niagara, 20 miles

gia,put prize crew on board and sent her to

The annual election in Vermont for State of
fcers, members of Congress and Legislature,
took place ON Tuesday last, and resulted in the

on the Union ticket was elected.
Admiral FarTagut's operations have been

Monitor, the Tecanlseh. But we captured the
rebel ram Tennessee a more formidable and
valuable war vessel than the IscdnSeh.
