Beginning OF a New Volume.
The Number for January, 1863, Begins the
Eleventh Volume OF the Atlantic Monthly.
From the commencement, in 1857, the At
lantic has rapidly increased in circulation, and
it now has the largest class of readers since its

fluctuations and dangers incident to our nation

first adopted in its early career, will ever be
faithfully maintained.

The New York Tribune, first issued in 1s4l
now in its twenty second year, has obtained
both larger and more widely diffused cireu-
lation than any other newspaper ever pub
lished in America. Though it has suffered
in common with other journals, from the vol
unteering and departure of tens of thousands
of its patrons to serve in the War for the I'm.

Quick WORK IN CoAT MAKIsG.-1n
1911 Sir John Throckmorton, Berk-
shire baronet, offered to lay wager of d
thousand guineas to the following effect :
That at eight clock on particular eve
ming he would Sit down to dinner in a
we'll woven, well-dyed, wellmade suit,
the wool of which formed the fleece on
the sleeps back at FIVE o'clock on that
same morning.. 1t was no wonder that,
among class of persons accustomed to
betting, such wager should eagerly be
accepted, seeing that the achievement Of
the challenged result appeared all but i'm,
possible. Mr.. Coxetter, of Greenham
Mills, at Newbury, was entrusted with
the work. At five o'clock in the morn
ing, on the s8th Of June, he caused two
Southdown sheep to be shorn. The WOO
was washed, carded, stubbed, roved
spun, and woven; the cloth was secured
| fulled, tented, raised, sheared, dyed, ant
dressed; the tailor was at hand, ane
made up the finished cloth into garments
ard at quarter past six in the evenin;
Sir John Throckmorton sat down to din
ner at the head Of his guests, in com
pleie damask -colored suit that had thu
been made-winning the wager, with a
hour and three quarters to spare. G
course every possible preparation wa
made beforehand; but still the achiey,
ment was sufficiently remarkable, an
was long talked of with pride among Il
clothiers.

Ice CRoP.-Ice dealers in the city, as
well as the proprietors of many saloons,
are embracing the present opportunity to
lay in a supply of the greatest of summer
luxuries. The ice is mainly taken from
the sloughs opposite the city, and at that
point is from eight to ten inches in thick
ness and nearly transparent. A continu-
ance of this weather for short time will
enable all dealers to lay in an abundant
supply. BY the way, our friend, Dick
Baughnan, thinking that We needed
something to keep US cool, yesterday
placed in our sanctum as clear piece oi
ice as We ever saw. 1t is ten iuehe:
thick, and we are told that the ice aver.
ages twelve inches solid.

SLEIGH RIDING.-The musical tintin-
abulation of sleigh bells has become a
very common sound in keokuk, but with
al a pleasant one. We must confess to
the slightest possible envy towards the
favored few who are reveling in this most
delightful of delishtful recreations, while
we-poor we--are deprived of even the
satisfaction Of "slide" on our fovored
"board" except when our feet slide
from under US, saas ceremonle, on the
slippery walks But this is the misfor-
tune of those who are born handsome in.

sage will be found on the second page Of

from us to secure pcrusal and approval by

its patriotic sentiments will strike chord

The bold, earnest, outspoken character
of the new Governor in his high position
cannot fail TO command universal respec,
and to imbue his supporters with a like
spirit. If all the people Of the loyal States
were actuated by like outspoken and
downright patriotism and rssolute de
termination to put down the rebellion and
remove its cause. there would be an enc
to organized rebellion in ninety days.

Remark. Of senator summer,

Made in the Joint Conuentiota, tn seconding
the nomination of William NJ. StetrdTt toT
United States Senator,
Mr.. PRESIDENT: I rise to second the
nomination Of William NJ. Stewart. l pre-
sumo, sir, every member Of the Convention
experiences conscious pride in exercising
tho right, accorded only to US, Of participate
ing directly in the selection Of the first Sena-
tors who are to represent Nevada in the up
per chamber of the National Councils. For
myself, sir, entertain and am privileged in
here expressing my sentiment or conviction
which, indeed, is connected with this general
feeling Of pride, but more profound and in
fnitely more satisfactory to me than the emo
ton; am permitted and enabled to cast
my vote for one whom long, calm, indie
pendent and scrupulous consideration
has commended to my judgment as EN-:
mently fit for the position Of United
States Senator, with all its pleasing
honors and all its grave and weighty re-
sponsibilities. I congratulate my constitu-
ents and myself, sir, that here for
mally endorse by word and vote man
for this great Office than whom, it is conced-
ed, no one is more familiar with the peculiar
conditions and requirements Of this young
state, none amongst US more noted for that
wise economy Of capacity and determination
to accomplish, which is 5abitually and Ell:
GENTLY applied to cardinal and essential
points for deliberation and action; man
who can carry to our National Congress the
original ideas and statements Of wants and
resourcesIin our communities, and press their
recognition with shrewd, consistent and vi,
gorous method; man whose support and
Cooperation will be for the present Federal
Administration in every purpose and inten-
ton that has been outlined for our under
standing up to present date, without hind
rance by technical objections or evasion BY
absence or silence-.yielding that support
and cooperation with power, not as gift
from himself or as under bond Of obligation
taken from us, but gladly from heart Of pa
triotism, and from mind imbued with the
belief that in sustaining the Chief Magis.
trate Of the States and the settled policy Of
the Union he is exercising the most glorious
prerogative now attached to the exalted sta
ton Of National Senator.

CITIZENS MEETING.-Is will be recol-
lected that the citizens meeting held at
Virginia on the 10th inst. was adjourned
to meet again on the 18th. The Union
of yesterday morning says:
Because Of some misunderstanding, no
meeting Of the citizens took place last even
ing. We are requested to ask Judge Aud
1.-THE President) to call a meeting At such
time as he may think proper. The SUBJECT
Of the consolidation is one that demands i'm
mediate action, and every taxpayer should
take an interest in it. The sooner the ques-
ton is disposed of, the better for the whole
community. The next meeting, whenever
called-and the earlier the better-should be
well attended.
We concur in the call. Whether "con-
soidaton" is the remedy for our present
condition, we are not prepared to say !;
but the question should be acted on with
out unnecessary delay. Legislation is
rather slow business at the best and
some well digested plan should be in the
hands of our representatives at the earliest
possible moment.

STATE PRISrKR.-The Reese River Re-
reil!e, of last Wednesday, expresses the
following opinion on the State Printer
question, which is attracting some atten-
ton Just now at Carson. The PROPOSE
tons are certainly correct, as will readily
be admitted by any Printer who under
stands the business
The requisite qualification for State Printer
is that the incumbent should be a printer,
and ! good one. He should also be one
whose integrity, responsibility and loyalty
are unouestionable-an Of which istyouched
for by the record of his past conduct, and
not oy the assurance Of political friends. A
man who is not himself practical printer
has no more right to aspire TO the position
than has one who is utterly ignorant Of law
to assume the duties OF Chief Justice of the
land. Some tell us that the person whose
Office is located in the capital alone has the
right to the gift. On the same principle 1t
might be asserted that those who reside in
Washington City are entitled to all the gov
eminent patronage. Others tell US that he
WHO prints the best paper in typographical
sense is the man, from the fact that he is
me st competent to execute the job In q work
manlike manner. The above are requisite
qualifications, but should not entitle any one
to the Office unless in him they are all COM
bined. ...F '..r. ..

THE GOULD q CURRY sANrrARY


We have been shown BY Almarin B..
Paul, Esq, President ofthe Nevada San
itary Commission, the following letter
from DIR. Bellows, enclosing the receipt
for the Sanitary Brick of the employees
of the Gould & Curry mine:
NEW York, Nov. Is, 1854.
Ny dear Mr.. Paul, Pres't. Nevada Branch
o. S. Sanitary Commission:-I enclose the
receipt Of our Treasurer for the product OF
the sale Of the Gould & Curry Workmens
bar. It amounted to a large sum, as YOU see.
In giving them this receipt tell them that the
silver brick illuminated the great snow VIM
dow Of Ball & Black, the most conspicuous
window in New York, until we did not care
10 hang on to It any longer, for fear that
silver MIGHT sink rapidly in price. We sold
Il at a HIGH price. It has brought Gould &
Curry stock up here, at least in patriotic
way. It was lucky that your new State
should have started off so firmly to the music
Of the Union in her baby innocency, only 8
DAYS old on election day; believe the most
remarkable case Of early walking in the right
way on record. All hail to the Pacific States
all right as they seem in the Lincoln and
Union doctrine! Now the election is over, l
hope you will turn out your Sanitary forces
and do some generalship worthy the days Of
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. We are
working hard here in the Sanitary way; for
our supplies and general aid were never so
much required. We trust hopefully in Ne
vada If she did such great things as Ter
ritory, with what splendor will she not eele-
brate her birthday as State, BY giving gen.
erously Of her boundless metallic wealth to
make crown Of gold and silver for the
heroes and martyrs in our hospitals and bat
tle-6elds. E.,.
Commend me cordially to all friends in
Nevada. With grateful recollections, yours,
truly, II. W. BELLOWS,
Pres't. U. S. San. Com.
The receipt shows the handsome sum to
which the bar amounted in currency:
