A PosIrIoS.-The Carson Independent
is troubled with "spooks." There has
not been subject preached, Of any kind
or character. within the past three months,
but that therein our friend has smelt a
rat. In his minds eye there is an Ethio-
plan crouching in the shadowy corner of
every wood-pile-some faint, half-erased
trail of the serpent visible in the course OF
every public man. Portentous clouds
of coming disaster darken ever the hori-
ION of the future, and the voice of Cas-
sandra ever shricks and walls the warn
ings of impending wo. The editor reads
improper books, and his gloomy fancies
cloud his Judgment. Ever since the Con-
stitution was fairly on the taps, the Ma
ior has been in hot water, and has pre-
sented picture of fidgcty and half frantic
indecision truly deplorable. The eyes OF
the world are upon the Independent, and
the ghosts of thirty centuries of Pi-Utes
glare from out the surrounding sagebrush,
and the course which that paper shall
pursue is the one great theme of the
world corporeal and spiritual. Yester-
day it informed the universe that it had
assumed position. We don't see it ex-
actly in that light; but inasmuch as il
says it has, we believe it. There are three
or four sticks-full of matter containing an
unintelligible hash about Bill Stewart
and "holes in the ground" and "ifs u
and "buts," and calls that position.
The editor has been associating with John
Church, and has got "Bill Stewart on the
brain" ....s.

Consolidation.

Among the published proceedings of
the Territorial Legislature we find the fol-
lowing among the bills introduced:
By Mr.. Dasgett, "An Act to consolidate
the cities Of Virginia and Gold Hill, in Sto-
rey county.
Mr.. Daggett is talking turkey" to
somebody, but the turkey rs certainly not
for Gold Xii. If the proposition made
by Mr.. Daggett was suggested to him by
ANYBODY outside the present limits OF
Virginia we should IKE to know who the
individual WIS, where he belongs, and
what he thinks he Is driving at. The fact
that they adjoin each other and that the
single road connecting them is pretty
thickly settled, amounts to nothing. The
two places are as distinct from each other
in their character, their wants and their
population as though they were hun
dred miles apart. Virginia is closely
built, compact town, with all the adjuncts,
appurtenances and wants of city. Gold
Hill is a scattered, struggling town,
which has none of these, nor will
she have or require them for years
to come, if ever. The population OF
this town are, almost without ex-
ception, workers; active, driving business
men, without any of the peculiar charac-
teristics, tastes and pursuits of the deni-
zens of city, while Virginia is as metro
politan as San Francisco. The character,
location and population of Virginia create
numberless wants and actual necessities,
which Gold Hill neither desires for itself,
nor has any fancy for being taxed for, for
the benefit of Virginia. With the latter
large and costly fire department is in
dispensable; here it would be suprAuous.
That of Virginia can never be made avail
able for our assistance, and it is unjust
that we should be called upon to support
it. Virginia is accursed with a vast
floating population of Migrants, GRIM
inals and outcasts, from which Gold
Hill is happily exempt. This requires
large and expensive police organ
ization, which is not required in Gold
Hill, neither should she be asked to sup
port it. Virginia has innumerable streets,
the opening, grading and care of which
entails heavy taxation, which the stay-at-
home population of Gold Hill will pro-
pcrly object to share the burden of. The
line of demarkation between the towns is
natural, bold and unmistakable, and the
distinction between them in every charac-
teristic is as marked as the boundary line.
If the Legislative Assembly must dabble
in the matter, we hope they will not insist
on marrying the two towns without the
ascertainod consent Of both parties to the
arrangement.

Gen. Hiram Burnham.

The announcement that Gen. Hiram Burn
ham was killed in the action on the north side
of the James River, has caused deep pain in
this community. He was in this city one
week ago last Friday, on his way to join his
brigade, and conversed cheerfully with all, ex-
pressing no doubt as to the final result of the
contest, though he had some forebodings that
he himself would not survive to witness the
GROWING victory. 81 &Nl4b
Gen. Burnham belonged in Cherryfeld. He
went out as Lieutenant Colonel OF the 9th
Maine, and on the resignation of Col. Knowles,
was promoted to the Colonelcy. With his
regiment he has engaged in many sharp and
decisive actions, and won great credit for his
GOODNESS, skill and bravery. 2a
In 1858 he was ordered home on detached
service relating to the draft, and subsequently
received the appointment Of Brigader Gener-
al. He could not have been with his brigade
more than one day after his return to the
front, before his fall at their head while gal
lantly leading them into action.
His remains are TO be sent home; and a
grateful people will bestow such honors upon
them as are due to those who fall in defence OF
Union and Liberty. 81

Hon. John Sherman of Ohio, utters the fol-

for their success, but their sympthy.' The
sympathy of the wolf for the lamb. The

The Quota of Portland Full and More.

We have the qualification to announce that
the liberality of the citizens and the efforts OF
the committee to whom the matter was en-
trusted to I'LL up the quota of this city with
out a draft being resorted to, have been crown
ed with complete success, and our quota is
now full, and we have some men over. ~
On the 18th Of September there was def
cheney of one hundred and eighteen in the
quota Of this city. At that time the first
meeting was held to adopt measures to fill up
this deficiency and avoid the draft Money
was not wanting. Subscriptions came in as a
food, and the committee appointed to secure
recruits went TO work with ardent zeal On
the first day Of October they had secured to
the credit of this city one hundred and twenty
men, thus more than filing up all deficiencies
In our city's quota. All honor to our liberal
men who have given SO freely, and to The
committee who have labored SO zealously in
this good work. 80
The committee will still continue to receive
recruits at the enlisting office in the new City
Building, paying the highest bounties, togeth-
er with the State and National bounty. All
who may wish to enlist under the quota oil
Portland must soon make application. Come
now, while there is room, and where you can
receive the full amount of all the liberal boun-
ties offered. WH

g WHAT CAUSES THE HIGH PRICE OF Coal.
The editor of the Albany Statesman has
been on visit to the coal mines, and writes
Is follows: FoGb9FgYkgnR i
"We visited the Lehigh and Scranton mines
last week, and endeavored to get posted on
the coal question. The miners charge SO a
ton to get the coal out and place it in the cars.
In addition to this the company paw rs cents
ton to the owners of the land. Total cost
of Leigh coal, when placed in the cars, s., %
per ton. The mines are only eight miles
from Mauch Chunk, and yet coal sells at
Mauch Chunk for IS SO per ton, showing that
it is the transportation company. and not the
miners, who cause the present. high price of
coal. To get the coal from the mines to
Mauch Chunk, eight miles, cost very little in
deed, as the whole distance is down hil-rray-'
ity doing that work which locomotives are
compelled to perform on other roads. Last
year coal was mined for 81 a ton: last wear
coal sold at Mauch Chunk for "a per ton this
year coal is mined for 50 ton; it is nov sell
ing at Mauch Chunk for IS. A rise of 81 a
tone has caused rise of SIS in the selling
price. The cure for this evil is an opposition
railroad from Maaca Chunk 10 the mines"
