A VARIETY SCENE.-The house owned by the
Greek thieves, ON Willow Gulch, whenthe officers
had finished their search of the premises yester-
day, looked like country variety store after
fire. Articles and property of every kind and de.
scription were scattered about. Boards and shin
giles enough were there to start a lumber yard.
Doors, window frames, and such like, sufficient
for furniture shop. Axes, saws picks drills,
and other mining tools. Flour, provisions, knives,
forks, spoons, billiard cloth and balls, ETC., etc.
The rascally thieves had appropriated everything
they could get their hands on, not even excepting
a stove or two, whether taken hot or cold, Is more
than we can say. 1t is said the knaves had stolen
all the lumber with which their house was built.
Having stuffed It full of plumber and desiring to
make an extension to IL, in order to accommodate
their increasing business they began stealing more
building material, and got nabbed Many OF our
citizens recognized various articles Of property
belonging to them, which had mysteriously disap'
peared, and been missing for months. II will be
remembered that some time last Fall, before the
opening Of the Merchants exchange, billiard
cloth and set of bats were stolen, belonging to
Messrs White & Mitchell. for which thoae gentle
men offered liberal reward at the time. But
nothing could be heard Of them until brought to
light by the discovery of this den Of thieves. II
has now, fortunately for the town, beed broken
up and we hope to see the villains punished to the
full extent Of the law.-Aurord Tf1es

PROSPECTING.

The present winter has been so open that
great amount OF prospecting has been done
in this Territory. Many rich lodges have
been discovered since the winter months
came or, which have richly rewarded the
enterprising prospector. There are, I'M
doubtedly, Just as rich lodges to be found as
have ever vet been discovered. The very
latest discovered District, Desert District,
has produced richer rock than has ever be-
fore been found at the surface Of any ledge
in this Territory. The precious metals are
not confined to quartz Lodges alone. The
soil of this Territory we know to be aurife-
rous in many places. All who know the his
tory of even this small mining town for the
las, few wears, know that Cinnamon have
made money BY ''panning" the soil OF Gold
Canon. Rumor says that rich placers have
been lately found within few miles OF this
district; that surface diggipgs have been
found is probable and that they are exceed
iugly rich is possible. \ party OF miners
who last month came overland by the Los
Angeles ana Cotoraoo route IePoi'' '"AS 'Aey
crossed hardly any gulch where they could
not find "the COLOR" and that in nearly
ever canon along the whole route man
could make from one to FIVE dollars per day.
When spring comes on We may look for an
unparalleled development of mineral re-
sources. The country is so fast settling and
developing that the man is fortunate who
first discovers and claims rich ledge or pro-
ductiye placer. Itmatters little how isolated
its position may be, science is so advanced,
and the enterprise of the age is so great, that
artificial means will give the facilities denied
by nature.

Sirous of getting rid Of the burthen Of the Roman
occupation. but he can't; he wants on the other
hand To cOneilliate the clergy, but he can't; ne
wants TO be a despot, and when he finds 1t impos-
sisic to continue the autOcrat game, at which he
has PLAYED since 1862 he tries to be liberal, but he
can't: he wants 70 be on friendly terms with
European Powers, but he can't: he wants TO get
up a political capital by putting himself forward

MOTH CARoLINA.-This State is getting
to be about as troublesome to the Southern
Confederacy, as South Carolina was to the
Union. North Carolina mutterings and
Union tendencies are becoming very common
and we may expect that she will soon be in
open rebellion against the rebellion. The
Raleigh Standard contains the following:
We are now reapingi the bitter fruits of peace
able secession" in forcing from their once happy
and peaceful homes into the army all from eigh-
teen TO forty five years of age, TO be driven TO the
slaughter like oxen to the shambles, And 10 I'LL
up the thinned ranks the present Congress now
has before ii the monstrOus proportion to con-
script all from sixteen TO fiftyfve years of age,
and make them subject to military law, which
the Richmond Examiner boldly denounces as no.
thing less than an attempt to make Davis die
tator.
Is il not an outrage every principle of free
government for men of desperate fortunes, pro-
Tossing to represent other States, on whose soil
they dare not set their foot, to make and enforce
odious and oppressive laws on our people! Are
we prepared 10 submit TO this! If not then let
every man arouse himself before it Is too late, and
denounce these attempts to betray our liberties
and place US under u military despotism. Let
every man that can speak or write denOunce
these outrages on civil liberty until their denun-
Citations are heard and needed in Congress.
But If Congress, in spirit of desperation
should act the tyrant, and impose such crushing
burdens on the people of North Carolina as are
insupportable, then they should demand of tie
Governor that he forthwith convene the Legisla-
ture in order to call a State Convention of the
sovereign people to take into consideration what
is best to be done to relieve people from the
grievous burdens imposed upon them.

The LARGEST CHAINS IN THE WORLD
The largest chain cable ever manufactured
was used for raising the Russian ships sunk
at Sebastopol. 1t was 200 yards long, each
link weighing 800 pounds, and each link was
tested with a strain of 500 tons. 1t was
manufactured at the Reading Forge, Pa.
The great chain stretched, in the Revolution,
across the Hudson River, at West Point, to
prevent British vessels from ascending the
river above that point, was only half as heavy
and strong as the one at Sebastopol. The
largest chain cable ever manufactured for a
merchant vessel, was the one for use on
toard the U. s. mail steamship Adriatic.
This cable was forty yards long, each link
weighing fifty pounds mere watch guard
chain compared with that employed at Sc
bastopol.

I'VE abandon "Old Abe" as hopeless case We
have pulled him, we have praised him, and have
helped him in every way, but can get no good out
of him."
1t must be refreshing to James Gordon
Bennett, from whose paper the above extract
was obtained, to contemplate the wonderful
influence his journal exerts in shaping the
popular will, after the course taken BY most
of the loyal States to bring about the re-elec-
ton of "Old Abe" 1t is best, to say the
least, to have such papers as the New York
Herald opposed to any man or measure, to
secure the confidence of the loyal masses.
''Old Abe" will be reelected, Bennett to the
contrary notwithstanding.

OUR TERRITORIAL WEALTH.-Few persons in
this section of the country interest themselves
sufficiently in our Territories to comprehend or
appreciate their vast extent and boundless resour-
ces Of mineral and agricultural wealth. They do
not realize that, starting from the point where all
the railroads. to the westward terminate, one can
travel by coach In due westerly line for sixteen
DAYS before he reaches the western limit of our
western domain. If we look at the most wester-
w of our railroad Travelled States-Missouri-w
find an amount of mineral, agricultural and do
nestle resources unequalled in variety and rich
ness by any State In the Union. Kansas, COM
m.neing where Missouri leaves Off also possesses
fine lands for agricultural purposes; and although
some of the country beyond, known as the Plains
has the reputation Of desert, yet the bottom
lands are rich and fertile. The discovery of gold
near Pixies Peak Zone of the Rocky Mountain
range) first drew many away from comfortable
homes; many, disappointed, retraced their steps
homewart. But they failed, not for lack of gold,
but because it was chiefly found in such conditions
as to require machinery to work it successfully
and furthermore II required capital which the poor
smigrants of 1857 did not possess. The tide of
emigration still flows steadily and increasingly
thither; capital has been sent out there machine
ry introduced, and great improvements have re-
Gently been made for extracting the gold from the
solid rock SO that one may now find q fourishing

road or a navigable river. Here is settlement

people, with more than one hundred steam mills
in active operation, buslly engaged in crushing
the gold bearing quartz From this region alone
over twenty millions of dollars has been exported
east to fill the gap made by foreign exports. Ne.
vada has furnished about twelve millions more,
and there Is every reason to believe that this will
be largely increased during the present year. We
can see by these facts that the Territories not
unworthy our attention and study, especially rs
Congress will, doubtless, convert those mentioned
into States either at this session or at an early
date Judging from the rapid increase Of their
wealth and population. The Pacifc Railroad,
too will aid materially in opening up this interest
ing country. and those who have been pioneers
towards the western mountains will soon witness
the evidences of the highest civilization where all
Il short time since was but a "howling wilder

The GENERAL TO THE LEGIsLAruRE.-
General Wright, the military commander Of
the Department of the Pacific, has ably con-
ducted the affairs of his Department, but has
not escaped calumny. He has committed
but on one great fault that we can now re-
call. and that is his late transmission of a
letter to the California Legislature, defending
himself and staff officers against the charge
of disloyalty. Everybody knows that he is
loyal, and that he would not have officers
abou, him who are not loyal; and, therefore,
his letter of exculpation is too manifestly a
mark of too great sensitiyeness.

FAILURE OF A FIRE DEPARTNBNT.-Eigh-
teen months ago the village of Jackson,
Amador county, California, was destroyed by
fire. For several years previous, great efforts
were made to organize fire department.
Shortly after complete and costly depart
ment had been organized, the great conAa-
grafton took place and the FIRE apparatus eff
fected nothing against the flames Lately
the department was disbanded, and the appa-
ratus is offered for sale. One of the engines
is a splendid new Button machine"
