A PAPER MONEY BANK.

In these toughest of times, when the
scarcity of money is so severely felt by
every class of the community, every item
of news, bearing upon financial matters,
is read with more than ordinary interest.
The project of starting bank of issue in
California, elicits the following remarks
from the S. F. argus.
"a prominent topic of conversation in
Financial Circles is the contemplated estab-
lshment in this city of q monster National
Bank with some FIVE million dollars capital,
under the auspices Of New York capitalists.
This institution is to be incorporated under
the late Act of Congress, and will issue the
full amount of its Capital Stock in notes Sc
cured BY the bonds Of the Government, lodg-
ed with the Comptroller of the Treasury at
Washington. 1t is to be paper money
Bank with its circulation redeemable in gold
and silver, unlike, in this latter respect, SIM
liar Banks in the Eastern States. The notes
of this Bank, in virtue of the laws OF Con-
gress, will only be a legal tender for the pay
ment Of dues to the Government, but may,
in the end, perform the same functions that
the National Bank notes do ut home. There
they are virtually legal tender for all debts,
and are so recognized by all classes, for the
reason that they pass from hand to hand as
Currency, in the same way that greenbacks
and the issues Of other Banks do. There
are grave doubts whether mere promise on
the part of a National Bank, in this city, to
redeem its notes in gold would inspire the
same faith and confidence that other Banks
and private bankers do in San Francisco,
who will continue to adhere strictly to gold
in all their relations with the public, and
who issue no promises to pay in the shape
of circulating medium. The interests OF
depositors in Bank established on the sys-
tenn above alluded to, might ultimately be
seriously affected also.
This system is the favorite fiscal measure
of the Government to drive out of existence
the issues of all State Banks in the East. 1t
has already met with success in this respect,
and the object sought to be accomplished
i, rapidly gaining ground throughout the
country.
The issues of other than National Banks
are heavily taxed; their capital stock and
their depositors pay tribute to the Govern
ment. Will not the General Government be
likely to give aid and comfort to National
Bank in our midst at the expense of those
established upon different principles, and
NAV not there be some fear that our present
substantial metallic basis is to be overturned
to give place to the currency of the Govern
ment and that of these National Banks?
These are questions for grave consideration
and it would be well to weigh them carefully.
The sentiment of the people of this coast is
hostile to any such change, and upon the
very threshold Of any movement looking to
this end will they oppose it.

The Rush valley Mines,

From the Union Vedette of the Goth and
2lst, we clip the following items concern
ing the Rush Valley mines:
FURNACE FOR RUSH VALLEY.-A num-
Der of gentlemen Immediately or ultimately
interested in the success of the mines in Rush
Valley-have entered into co-partnership
with the intention of going at once to work
to put up a reverberatirg furnace, for the
purpose OF testing still further the value of
the discoveries there. Should those thus
tested prove to be of the value that is now
generally accorded them, the furnace will
amply repay those who have been the pio-
neers in the enterprise, since the Company
proposes to smelt ore at fixed charge per
ton, and BY showing forth plainly the exact
value of the leads; the Smelling Company,
as these gentlemen term their co-partnership,
will have its effect in determining the value
and price Of all the leads around.
MINING MATTERs.-The public being now
we'll satisfied of the extent and value of the
silver leads in Rush Valley, sales have been
made within the last few days for cash and
trade, at various figures all, in our opinion,
far below the market value of the stock.
What numbers of people we shall find in a
years time lamenting their lost opportunities
and dolefully narrating the untold wealth
that might have been theirs, had they only
purchased or held on as the case may be !!
We shall sympathize with them hugely!

Who HAS LOST HORSE s-The fol-
lowing description Of certain horses may
prove interesting to some of our citizens.
We find it in the Carson Independent of
yesterday:
A gentleman just in from the county seat
Of Churchill, gives US the following descrip-
tons of the animals taken from the Mexi-
cans who we're shot some ten days ago on the
road between Sand Springs and West Gate.
The parties who did the shooting, having
given themselves up, had a preliminary ex-
animation at La Platte, and were discharged.
The animals are at present in the possession
of the County Treasurer, at the county seat
of Churchill, and will be sold to pay the
charges unless their owners make demand
for them within the next twenty days.
There are four draught mules, three Of whom
are of brown or bay color, while the fourth
is stout, chunky, iron grey, which our in
formant thinks he had seen in Gold Hill
some time ago. These animals are all shod
with new, heavy, draught shoes. There are
also four horses, two Of whom are bay half
breeds the third is large bay, with white
face, also supposed to be half-breed; and
the fourth is a dark sorrel. Parties having
lost animals who answer the above descrip-
tions would do well to be looking after them
in time.

A CoMPLMEST.-TheS Sacramento Bee
having heard an erroneous rumor that
another evening paper was to be started
at this place says:
"What folly it is to have two evening papers
in a town that is only large enough to sus-
tain one! The Gold Hill News, which has
been in existence between nine and ten
months, is the neatest If not the best paper
published in Nevada Territory, and has done
and is doing good service for the Union
cause. 1t appears to be prosperous, and be-
cause its proprietors are getting living,
somebody-perhaps mountebank or dolt
who has failed in every undertaking-has
managed to get printing material with which
TO publish an opposition journal. The mania
for publishing newspapers seems to be in
creasing. OF course each new paper is pub
Eshed TO fill void'-the public have clam
ored for the new luminary-and it expects to
shed effulgence upon this benighted world.
The new paper proposed to be started
by Mr.. Bennett, late of the Virginia Bul-
Letia, will be published at Virginia, if any
where. There may be "void' there,
but of that matter Mr.. B. is the best judge.

The PANIC They have got this
disease, worse than ever, at the Bay. The
improvement in mining stocks, which had
manifested itself for week or ten days
past, appears to have been but temporary
rally, and stocks of all kinds have re-
lapsed to a worse condition than the low
est figures marked in the panic of a month
since. Gould & Curry at $4,000 and
Ophir ut 800 is a woful state Of things.
There may be some reason for all this, but
we cannot see it. The argus article,
written on Friday evening, one day before
the heavy tumble, said:
The Mining Share Market has become
languid again, and nearly all stocks are
lower. In view of the ease in the Money
Market, and the accumulation Of unemployed
capital in the vaults of bankers and others,
there would seem TO be no legitimate cause
for this decline in leading shares, other than
a want Of faith in their future value. The
present productiveness Of these mines shows
no abatement, and for the current month re-
ceipts Of bullion from Washoe are likely to
exceed those Of any previous month IN the
history Of the country.

A SOUTHERN "SMARTY."

We found Yesterday in our box at the
postoffice the following brilliant drop-let-
ter:
GOLD HILL, n. T., June 25, 64.
MIR. EDITOR III it is corenient, examine
YOUR dictionary, and you will find that you
should use contemporary instead Of cotenlpo-
rary. With equal propriety could you say
convenient, cosistent, etc.
An IGNORANT SouTHERNER.
Anonymous correspondents generally
sign their squibs with fictitious name,
or clap star or dagger at the bottom, and
sometimes venture upon their veritable
initials. The brilliant genius who sent
the foregoing, scorned all such eloaks and
signed his real name in full. The first
demonstration of his Ignorance was
in failing to pay postage on his etfusion,
by which omission we are out of pocket
three cents currency. We have no "South-
ern" dictionary to which to refer at the
moment; in fact, we have yet to hear Of
the existence of such publication. The
printing of school books in the sunny
South will probably commence at the
same time with the establishment of q
common school system in that home Of
unrecorded Rterati. The dictionary most
used in the schools 1--WE will state for the
information of our ignorant Southern
brother), has been for many years past
that of Noah Webster, an old "blue-bel-
lied Yankee" seldom heard of by people
south of Mason and Dixon's line. His
predecessor in public favor was one VIII
liam Walker, gentleman of beef-eating
extraction. Neither of those gentlemen
having had the advantage of an education
in the Southern Universities, they both
use the word cotemporary. The old
" blue-belly" thus spells and defines the
word:
Contemporary, n. One who lives at the
same time with another"
Contemporary, a. L., con-, co., and tenn
pas, time. Living or being At the same time;
as coteB,pOrGy authors. Josephus was CO.
temporary with Vespasian. Locke. Black
stone"
The old "mackerel-catcher" appends
this note:
al consider this word as preferable to con-
temporary, as being more easily pronounced.
Walker simply gives both words, with
out any comment, with the same dehni-
ton. The authorities we have quoted
are, of course, of no binding authority in
the South, nor upon southern gentlemen
in the North, as their photography, pro-
nunciation and grammar are peculiar and
unreStrained by rules prevailing in Great
Britain and the Northern States of the
Union. Locke is name unknown in the
home of the chivalry, and Blackstone's
propositions of law have been overruled
BY Southern Courts from time immemo-
rial. We merely quote our authorities as
an excuse for the great mass of writers
not having the advantage of Southern
education.

DELINQUENT SALES TOMORROW
WHO MAY ARREST.

\ discussion with tumblers and other
bar furniture took place yesterday up
town, which led to more quiet discus
sion of the point as to who may lawfully
make an arrest. We took q little stock
in the talk. and asserted that q private
citizen had right to arrest person en-
gagged in the commission of crime. We
stated the proposition without having
read the statute of this Territory, but feel
ing yerv certain that law so universal
must prevail here. We find, upon EXAM
nation of the law, that we were correct
and as it is as well the law may be gene
rally understood we quote that portion Of
the statute referring to the point in ques-
ton. Sections l3S TO l42 inclusive Of
AN Act to Regulate Proceedings in
Criminal Cases in the Courts of Justice
in the Territory of Nevada" approved
November &c, 1851, and now in force,
read as follows:
Sec. l3S. 4 private person may arrest
another-First. For public oHenSe commit
ted or attempted in his presence. Second.
When the person arrested has committed 4
felony, although not in his presence. Third.
When felony has been in fact committed,
and he has reasonable cause for believing the
person arrested TO have committed it.
Sec. l39. He must, before making the ar
rest. inform the person to be arrested OF the
cause thereof, and require him to submit,
except when he is in the actual commission
of the ofense, or when he is arrested on pur-
suit, Immediately after its commission.
Sec. no. II the person TO be arrested has
committed felony, and private person,
after notice Of his intention TO make the ar
rest, be refused aGmittance, he may break
open any outer or inner door or window OF a
dwelling house, for the purpose OF making
the arrest.
Sec. III. 4 private person who has ar
rested another for the commission OF pub
lie otFenSe, must, without unnecessary delay,
take him before magistrate, or deliver him
to peace officer.
Sec. 40. II person arrested escape or
be rescued, the person from whose custody
he escaped or was rescued, may Immediately
pursue and retake him at any time and IN
any place within the Territory.
Cases having frequently occurred, with
in our experience in California, where
criminals, of every grade Of oHense even
to murder, have escaped through the erro-
neous impression, that no person, save an
officer could arrest a criminal, we publish
the foregoing extract from the law, in
order that bystanders having the DISPOSE
ton and the nerve, may know how to act
when crimes are committed or about to
be committed in their presence.

Ewell's Corps Sent against Hunter
SPeculntiOns on the Fall of Peters
burg-FiEhting ON the 17th-ITenVy
Rebel Attnck Repulsed-The Posi-
tion Of the Army on the 10Th.
New YORK, June 22.-The Herald's
correspondent, writing from City Point
June 10th, says rebel sources report that
Ewell's corps went against Hunter.
With the capture of Petersburg, the
Danville Railroad will be the only COM
munication left for Richmond with the
South. The width of the track of this
road differs from that of all others, which
will prevent the withdrawal of rolling
stock. The road will be easily destroyed
from Petersburg, so that the rebel Govern
ment feels that Richmond is certainly
held by very slight tenure. Thus the
fall of Petersburg is virtually the surren-
der of Richmond.
June 18th, Fields and Pickett's Divi-
sions of Longstreet's Corps charged Pot
ter's line, driving his left and center back
though they were repulsed on every other
portion of the line. Subsequently part
of the original line was lost, but was re-
gained to-day.
June l9th-The attack was renewed
with infantry and artillery. A portion
of our center was driven back, but our
advance was ordered, and the enemy dri-
ven, so that we now hold the line tri-
umphantly-an army corps correspon-
dent under date of June the 18th says:
Smiths command, except Martindale's di-
vision, is encamped in the neighborhood
of Port Walthall. Hancock's corps was
repulsed by the enemy yesterday, when
Burnside advanced and succeeded in
driving them from their position.
