MILITARY NEeRoEs.-The fact has be-
come fully established, we believe, not only
that Northern men will fight, but that the
negro is capable of performing military duty
as well. We were told so often before rebel
lion broke out, that the men Of the North
were towards, and that the niger was in
tended BY nature for state OF servitude,
that we almost believed it ourselves. But
events and time, the monitors of US all,
prove and disprove many things. Our Gov
eminent has found the necessity Of handling
treason with its own weapon, and introduced
the system of employing negroes to assist In
putting down rebellion. Adjutant-Genersl
Thomas, the organizer of negro troops, re-
ports favorably of his labors on the Lower
Mississippi. He has put into the field 26, 900
drilled slaves, suitably proportional in artil-
lery, infantry and cavalry" OF these, Cen
eral Banks has 1900 under his command.
The Government has now about 100, 900 ne
gro troops in its service, in some instances
doing excellent duty. The rebels will find
out that these troops can do other than
"guard duty"

GOLD HILL SrocK BoARD.-The increas-
ing value of the mines lin this District
has rendered it of the utmost importance
that we should have place among us where
our mining stocks may be offered to the pub
lie, and where, if we wish to purchase, we
may go and buy. This want has been sup
piled BY number of our enterprising towns
men, by the organization and establishment
of the Gold Hill Stock and Exchange Board.
This body is now doing thrifty business in
" feet" under the management Of the follow
ing officers: Samuel Arnold, President;
James McGinness, Vice President; n. A. b.
Ball, Treasurer; VIM. E. Hale, Secretary
They were lately elected to hold their Offices
for the ensuing three months. The business
character of the officers of this Board, as well
as its past success, recommend it to the
dealers in stocks, and especially stocks OF
this district, which viii sell most readily at
home, where they are known.

THE Enthusiastically, who appears to be
aggrieved, writes to the San Francisco Call as
follows: " Most of the members of the Legisla-
ture arrived on.the parade-ground about half past
'welve where they found hollow square formed,
inside of which they were not allowed to enter.
Governor Low and Colonel Assemblyman Wood,
the former on a black, and the latter on white
charger. were eomplimented for their military
appearance by those Of the members who were
fortunate enough to get peep inside the square,
without being run over by the bold cavaliers
who were constantly singing out. 'Y's had better
stand back We observed one inquisitive MEM
Der trying to get his head over the line, when a
stroke from the saber of a bold horseman so
frightened him that, in the hurried retreat his
eorns came suddenly in contact with the ponder
GUS heof' Of one Of the big foot race, which
impressed his honor with vivid remembrance Of
the classic quotation, Distance lends enchnnt-
ment,' In obedience to which august quotation he
Immediately struck out for high ground"

THE DANISH AND AMERICAN WARS
A late steamship arrival from Europe, brings
news that the Danish war is still going on
the Germans still pressing forward into the
little Kingdom of Denmark. This war,
though a "one-horse" affair when compared
with our own gigantic strife, fixes the atten-
ton of all Europe. England and France
watch its progress with the greatest anxiety,
fearful that they may be drawn into the
whirlpool. While this state of things lasts,
we will suffer but little from European inter-
meddlinS in our affairs. Neither England or
France will take the chances Of becoming
engaged in an American war, while liable at
any time to be drawn into one at home. This
is not bad news to US. The Confederacy has
lung been in very compressed, and must
now be in 4 very depressed condition. The
hope long cherished by them that they would
be recognized as an independent nation, and
receive military assistance from England and
France, must, while European war con-
tinues, be blasted. The Danish war to en-
gage the attention OF Europe, and 4 proper
amount of energy on the part of our military
authorities to crush out the rebel armies, will
leave the rebels without help and without
hope, and put an end to this cursed war,
which has already continued too long.

BRYANr's BooK.-We have had the pleas
ure of perusing short essay on the small
book containing the poetical works of William
Cullen Bryant, dedicated to his countrymen.
II anything should be received by us with
eratefalness, it is the dedication of an Amer
can poet of his book as an offering of his g :
MUS to his country. The poetic feeling is ex-
perienced by all, or nearly all, but the true
poetic expression is fine only in the hands and
hearts of few. Among the few great poets
of our country, we might say any country, is
Bryant. he has no. written much, but ms
poetry is grand, noble, sweet and sublime.
We can always point with pride and satisfac-
ton to the noble works Of Bryant, and
Holmes, and LOnsfellow, and Halleck, and
Whittier, and the numerous others who i'll a
proud position in American poetical itera-
ture. The works of these authors should
grace the study of every man pretending to
education and love Of the beautiful.

THE WEALTH OF wAsHoE.


The mineral resources of our Territory
undoubtedly surpass those Of any other
State or Territory in the Union. The mines
located on the Comstock lead are the most
productive in the world. Our minerals are
not gold and silver alone. From the dlree-
ton of Owens river and from the vicinity OF
Walkers river prospectors bring IN speci-
mems of ore which are fully half copper.
These copper mines are destined to be eH-
ceedinply valuable. The copper mines of
Michigan have long been looked upon as the
richest in the Union, but recent scientific ex-
periments on our ore have determined that,
other things being equal, the copper mines in
this Territory surpass in value those Of
Michigan. The reason is this in the mines
of Michigan the copper when found is mass
Of virgin metal, and has to be cut in the
mine with cold-chisels into pieces small
enough to be conveniently handled-a slow
and wearisome operation. The copper in
this Territory is found in the ore; can be
blasted out with ease and rapidity, and when
once out Of the mine can be reduced to a
pure state with about the same trouble and
expense as the virgin copper can be. OF
iron ore we have plenty. 1t is found al
most everywhere. Only few miles north
east of this town, and easily to be obtained,
is found large masses of this ore. In silver
and copper this Territory is surprisingly
rich; of gold and iron we have an inexhauSt-
ible supply. What We want now are men
and means TO work our mines. Wewant
the Pacific Railroad to the Eastern States to
bring us hardy men, and to wind its way
through the gorges of the Sierras to bring
us wood and coal. These things we soon
will have. The population of that Golden
State under the setting sun is firmly bound
by the ties of friendship and kindred to the
people away eastward beside the lakes and
the Atlantic, and the earnest wish OF large
portion of the people to have safe and
rapid communication with their friends, to
say nothing of the other agencies at work,
will overcome all such obstacles as lay in the
way of tits enterprise and push the railroad
through, and our mines will lay right along
the track. Then only the true extent and
value of our mines will be known and appre-
ciated outside the limits of our Territory,
and people of the Eastern States will not be
surprised as they were last summer BY the
announcement in their local prpers, that
"washoe, little mining town in California,
has contributed upwards of $1,000 to the
Sanitary Fund.-" They will understand the
fact that the richest mining country lies
eastward of the boundary Of that State.
