stock Fluctuations and their Causes.

This subject, which is one of such deep
interest and vast Importance to the people
of this Territory, is thus spoken of in the
S. F. argus of Wednesday.
The recent fluctuations in the stock of the
Gould & Curry-one of the richest silver
mines in the world-have given rise to vari-
Gus surmises as to the probable cause of its
decline from S4,S75 per foot a few months
ago, to 81 $50, at which price sales were
made on Saturday last. Sons say the mine
has "petered OUT others, that they have
struck "horse" in the shaft, while the
Superintendent Of the mine is understood to
say that there is no change in its appearance,
and the dividends are still being paid with
the usual regularity. Our own impression is
that the recent silly panic has been occasion
ed by giving publicity through the newspa-
perS TO quotations emanating from what is
termed the first Board of Brokers.
By Broker we understand one who acts
as agent in buying and selling for another.
In San Francisco we have no such body of
business men. The men comprising the first
Board, with few exceptions, OF course,) are
not Brokers'" They are L" principals" who
buy and sell on their own account and their
quotations ought not to be accepted as the
bona .fde value of stocks. They are simply
spectators, who, for their own profit, bull
and bear the market, and do not value the
mining interests Of this Coast, except to the
extent that they may be prohted by an opera
ton. For instance, on Monday last, it ap-
pears By the Board that there were one hun
bred and fifty feet of Gould and Curry sold.
viii any of their members declare that this
number of shares changed hands: We can
not believe it. Ten feet may have been
bought and sold fifteen times in the secret
session of their Board, yet according to the
published report one hundred and nifty feet
were sold.
This Board of Brokers, as it is now organ
lied, we consider has ever been one Of the
most serious evils which has befallen our
mining interests. The newspapers are much
to blame for publishing the deliberations OF
body which, we repeat, are not brokers, and
Notwithstanding which the San Francisco
papers pay some 81 per week for these quo
tations, while the up-country papers are at
an expense OF telegraphing the sales made at
this institution.
When the Argus reaches New York and
London, what a pleasant position we will be
in Our best stocks selling for song, our
credit injured, capital prevented from being
sent hither, in consequence of the Joboing
transactions of few men, aided and abetted
by the united press of the State and Nevada
Territory.
These institutions are languishing, and
will, we hope, soon disappear altogether to
make room for Gift be necessary Stock
Exchange composed solely aud exclusively
of those who buy and sell on commission,
and who will be compelled to divulge their
principals in every transaction.

CRYSTAL PEAK.-We are indebted to Mr..
Buel, resident Of Crystal Peak, for the fol-
lowing items in regard to this new and rising
town: Crystal Peak is situated on the
Truckee river, (Henness Pass route,) about
80 miles distant from Virginia. There are
now from As to 50 houses in the town, 3 no.
tells and saloons, and building rapidly pro-
crossing. A brewery will soon be built.
Here are the great coal fields Of Nevada,
which, If they prove as good as present APP
pearances warrant, are to form no inconsld-
cradle item in the wealth Of this Territory.
The Nevada company have developed coal
mine four feet i'll thickness, after running
tunnel in the hill 40 feet. The Mudsill COM
pany have their tunnel in 200 feet, and are
sinking shaft. The vein of coal pitches
about one foot to ten. Mr.. Buel exhibits
specimen Of coal from these mines, which
looks very much like the anthracite. He
says that on the lst of March the coal in the
dump-pile was set on fire, as an experiment,
and that it is burning at the present day
They are also prospecting for the precious
metals-the indications of silver being very
encouraging. A company called the Truckee
Ophir are at work for this purpose, and will
soon be incorporated. The Mudsill Coal
Company has been incorporated, and work
is being vigorously prosecuted on the mine.
There are other coal veins, of promising
character, within FIVE miles of the town.
CRYSTAL Peak is in the Washoe country and
on the confines of California. 1t is destined
to be a place of considerable Importance,
provided these coal fields turn out all right.
A line of coaches will soon be on the road
and post Office will shortly be established
at the place. There are four saw mills in
the immediate vicinity of Crystal Peak, and
water and timber are abundant. They have
fish down there for breakfast-and we shall
go and see the happy place when our time
comes Both Langton and the Pacific Stage
Co. have express offices at the Peak. The
Dutch Flat road joins the Henness Pass
about five miles from town.-Cnion.

WHY IT WAS PosTPoNED.-The Bee SAYS
that story was ahoat to the effect that the
Chicago Convention was postponed because
the delegates elect were afraid that if they
assembled undef present circumstances, to
spit forth their treason, Liucoln's Union
would capture and confine them. Another
story is that the honest Democrats are wait
ing for Grant to make platform for them
il Grant whips the rebels the Democrats will
come out the most radical of Union and war
men; if he does not fully succeed, they will
be the most abject peace men. They are in
terrible state OF uncertainty, these Demo-
Gratis they know not what day may bring
forth. are fearful to make move just now,
lest they should jump out Of Convention
into fort; and as martyrdom is not their
forte, they await the effects Of Union efforts
against rebel forts.

An Attack On the Baltimore and 0hio
Railroad,
BALTIMORE, Feb. IL

BALTIMORE, Feb. l3
The Sun Of this morning has the following:
"he express passenger train which left Cam-
don street depot on Tuesday night for Wl,cel-
ing and intermediate points, was captured by
:, company of Confederstas when near Kearn-
cysyiiic depot, about eight miles west Of Har-
per's Ferry.
1t appears switch has been turned, and the
usual signal, the waving of lighted lamp, made
by the raiders as tho train approached. The
sigaal caused the esineer to stop .ia engine
The train was then surrounded by the raiders,
sad a number Of armed men entered the cara
The passengers, among whom, of course, there
was n grca: CONSERVATION, were more or lees
mulcicd to the shapeo of ransom. Some prcluc-
Cd green bucks others watches, while, several
reluctantly gave diamonds, rings or breast-pins
as equivalent for their personal liberty. +
We are informed hy one Of the sufferers, who
returned to this city by express train that reach
cd here from Wheeling at noon yesterday, that
the aggregate amount of money taken from pas
sengers was not less than $4,000, while the
value of thejawelry was also considered large.

Adjournment of Congress.

Some weeks ago, our Representative, Hon.
A. II. Coffroth, offered the following resolution
in Congress;
"Resolred, That 1.-THE Senate concurrine) the
present session of the 38th Congress adjourn on
the third Monday of April next, at IL O'Clock,
NJ"
We commend the resolution, for the reason
that the sooner that Abolition concern comes to
an end the better it will be for the people. The
Abclitionists have a majority in, both houses,
and so far, the whole, or nearly the whole time
has been spent in legislation for freeing the ne
groes and enslaying the whites. They have
passed Bills to coniscate and cmancipate all the
race Of s'Amcrican citizens Of African descent
and have passed resolutions to amend the Con-
stitution in their favor alone. But true to their
instincts the Abolition leaders pass an unconsti-
tutional Conscription bill, for the purpose of
compelling white men to s'involuntary servi-
tude' in the army. These men, who can talk
SO eloquently of the poor ncgro-torn from his
home and sold into slavery against his will-are
mute as mice, when white men a.e torn from
the bosoms of Their families and driven ''like
bullocks to the slaughter pen," into the armies
of the north. They vote millions upon millions
of dollars appropriations for the benefit of tho
negro; and the bounties due the widows Of sol
diers who have fallen in their defence remain
unpaid. They are. willing to pay the President
his salary in gold or its equivalent, but when the
same favor is asked for soldiers wages, it is de-
nonnced as Copperhead scheme to injurc the
credit of the country.
Yes, our representative has done we'll 10 cfier
this resolution, and we only hope and pray that
il will be agreed to. If 1t is, it WIN save the
country millions of dollars and, perhaps, leave
the people at least spark of their Liberties,
which will not be thc case If the session is con-
tinucd to any great length. We say let The
present Congress adjourn, and they viii do their
country more rea! service by the simple act of
adjournment alone, than they have done during
the entire session.

ARMY CORRESPONDENTS.
BEAUFoRr, s. c., Feb. 7, 1864.

MR.. EDITOR:
Everything is going on quietly in this
department. Nonews of any Importance, The
affairs around Charleston are ut stand stils
A very extensive expedition is being fitted out
at Hilton Head, the destination of which is un-
known. The lst S. G., negro regiment, was
ordered from Tie Ferry, at which place they
had been doing picket duty, to join the expedi-
ton. They had just gone out on picket few
days before, and left their camp shouting 'John
Browns soul is marchihg on" but they didn't
return quite SO jubilsnt.
Jhe negroes of this department arc not very
enthusir site. They have wholesome terror OF
"Minnies." The teachings of the philanthropic
New Erslanders don't appear to be very bcne-
fetal. Maidens from the snow capped hills of
the North, are incessant in their labors of in
struction. Teacher and scholars appear to be
very intimate: What produces the attraction,
is very difficult to determine, unless it bo the
general rule: "Unlke qualities attract---like
qualities repel." They have but one profession,
that is greenback philanthropy. The "nisger''
is their God, and old Abe is their prophet
Our camp is very dull of late, caused hy the
departure of part of the regiment for home
A word to tho destroyers of our happiness.
How are you, veterans? Hope you are well,
and enjoying the good things that abound up
there. You don't know how many tears have
been shed by those you have left among the
shades of darkness, that couldn's "shum the
three years" You are having splendid times
are at banquets, quafIing wine from golden cups
tripping on the light fantastic toe; and "all
goes merry as marriage bell," Ell! In the midst
Of your Publications, just think of Sleeping a
gainst the door when the lightning flashed"
and drink glass to the dehnquents The Ora
Gle says you will be back in South Carolina be-
fore two months. In conclusion, s'Vets," don't
make too many conquests and leave sad hearts
to mourn, but think of .'heave! halt! hcavc
haiti" and moderate yonr happiness.
Truly, yours, o. b. S.

Leaking Cut"

Among tho esla.est news from Washington
in the Republican papers, we find this:
"It has leaked out that official reports put
the Union loss in killed, wounded and missing
at Charlottesville at the appalingGgure of 28,.
COO"
10000 at Chickahominy, 10000 at second
Bull run fight, 10000 at Antietam, 10000 Mt
Fredericksburg, $4,000 at Charlottesville and
$4,000 at Gettysburg 5000 in all, tells
pretty plainly what has become of the great Pc.
tomac army Of tbs winter of 1862. We believe
all the above are low figures, yet how different
from the unofficial and unauthorized statistical
tables put before the public by Mansfield. and
taking the rounds of the paper. And remem-
Der the above is only the loss Of one army.
Now, surprising tha. there was an equal num-
bor lost On the other side, ard all reports from
our side stated that the Losses Of the enemy al.
ways surpassed ours, then we may safely put
down l48, 900 for the Confederates. Tn this
we include neither the first Buil Run fight, nor
any of the less bloody scenes and well contested
skivmishes almost continually transn;ring 10
Part Of The Potomac army, and the forces oppos-
cd 10 il.
After contemplating this, let your mind sweep
the extent Of country South ard West Of the
two Capitals Of tie two ccntcnding forces, much
larger than all Of Europe. and Imagine L you
car. the full extent Of the lives lost. MANNED
and si3kened, property destroyed ,n.sory entail
ed, outrages committed OF every varying cher
acter, and then ponder over the fact, whether
tho DensScrat,c party, who form the first dis
proved Of q war at all, should now organize
itself on that platform Of blood, for further
prosecution Of tho horrors Of the Lincoln ed.
ministratien! We cannot bring back the lost,
nor restore the bereaysd and broken hearts bur
we can, as chria.isns and patriots, toa!,e an er.
fort before God and the world to save a rsrnaat
Of what is left, and ald 10 moro to Tho numar-
iaal column Of woe and wreshedness, row cry
in9 70 Heaven for mercy and protection.
|: is something to feel if you arc 1oing right
it is no snail thing to be on Tie side mercy
whether mercy wins or loses Crisis.

Recollection Of Mayor Sandsrson.

We congratulate the Democracy of Lancas-
ter upon their victory on Tuesday, aad cur
friend the Mayor upon his re-election. Every
efforts possible to DO made was made by the
Union crushers TO carry the city against the
Democrats, but they were met manfully and
beaten signaliy. The Abolition dailies Of Mon
day were filled with anatkemas against the Corps
.gucrE;llas' and 'sympafhzers.' and appeared
confident of success: but It seems the people
sEere not moved thereby, and did not respond
q, they expected, Laacas.cr retpains true to
Democracy, and Sandorson is Mayor again in
spite of Abolition curses and money, by ma
jority of 7-sixty-cight more than was cast
tor the State ticket last fall. Well done, Ian.
caster--well done, Mr.. Mayor. y We feel inciin.
ed to give you three and tiger.
