'Bed-Rock Fiume.


In our paper of last week, we published a
communication relative to the construction
IF "a bedrock aume in Moore's creek. We
have since heard the opinion expressed that
the grade mentioaed, viz. z. 10 too inches
to the rod, would. not carry the tailibgs Mat
it would choke up and run over. We are
not exactly prepared 10 say how small a gfs de-
would carry the heavy sand, of which there
is such an abundance in these mines, but this
we have observed in other mines that where
aaume is wide enough 30 chat thteJgwater has
asehanee to -stirsapz the -sand-te- the bottom,
it does not require So heavy grad as where
the boxes are deep and narrow. II 90
A mistaken notion prevails IN almost. all
mining camps that aodeep and harrow adme,
by virtue Of the depth and weight Of aataEJ
will clear itself better than 4. vide one. Ex-
-perienoe teaches that this IS not the case Il
the more surface there is exposed the fbetter
the sand runs of, and the less liable the Eox-
es are to choke. We agree with our cores.
pondent in the opinion that there is plenty
of fall in Moore's and Elk creeks, with a
properly constructed fume, to carry away the
entire itailings from all the diggings in this
vicinity, These remarks will apply also to
Grimes, Granite and Wolf creeks, where a
tail-race is needed as badly, and could be as
easily constructed as in tie creeks of.tAis
camp.
Another objection hitherto considered fatal
to the enterprise, is, that the water once in. a
Hume, can never be raised sufficiently highto
be made aYaIlable for Working bed and bar 1
claims. Ihis-is another mistake that experi-I
ence has exploded in other countries. AtE
such points as tits desired to work the bed
Of the stream, the Hume is, made double SO

washing the dirt in the hume and cleaning
up the rifles BY turning the water to the op-
posite side. These side fumes are also so
constructed as to be extended to the low bars

IS required-to preserve the regular grade, |
and turned back into the main trunk below. I
That the project is feasible, and in the hands
Of practical men would prove successful
there can be no doubt. Others have made

authorized TO address you in terms OF congrat-

doubly so by intrenchments. You have COM
PEELED him to abandon his Notifications on the
Rapidan, to retire and attempt to stop your
onward progress, and now he has abandoned
the last intrenched position so tenaeously
held, suffering a loss Of eighteen guns, TWEEN
ty-two colors, and eight thousand prisoners,
including two general officers. Your heroic
deeds and noble endurance of fatigue and pri-
yation will ever be memorable. Let as re-
turn thanks to God for the mercy thus shown
rs, and ask earnestly for it's continuance.
SOtdiers-lour work is not over, The
enemy must be pushed, and if possible over
7ome. The courage and iortitude you have
displayed render your commanding general
confident that your future efforts will result
q success. While we mourn the loss of ma
" gallant comrades, let us remember that the
nemy must have suffered equal il not greater
osses. We shall soon receive reiniorcements
which he cannot expect. Let us determine,
