Wealth ofNeyada.

In commenting upon the recent message
Of Gov. Nye, the Sacramento Union discourses
as follows:
"The developments In material wealth
and the increase in population in the Terri
tory, as described in the message, are well
calculated to bewilder the mind and to lead
those in older communities to look upon
such statements as more poetical than real.
The progress Of Nevada, as she is situated,
in population, property, mineral and other
wise, when stated in full, does appear mirac-
ulous. In the precious metals she is proving
herself the most extensive and richest coun-
try on the face of the globe. From her Ter
ritory there were shipped last year Sis, OO4, :
600 of treasure, and her miners are but just
beginning to obtain returns from the mines
they are working. We may reasonably ex-
pect that the amount of treasure produced in
the Territory next year will reach an
amount at least three times greater than the
figures of this. up to this date there has
been each year a much larger amount of
money imported into the Territory than has
been exported from it in form Of treasure.
The balance for the last year against the
Territory, in the form Of mills, goods, i'm
proyements, assessments, etc would exceed
the amount of shipments Of the precious
metals millions of dollars. There is little
doubt but that the money paid for the freight
on property hauled into the Territory the past
year would nearly, if not quite equal the
whole amount of the bullion publicly sent
out oft. But few years only will pass be-
fore Nevada will export millions more of the
precious metals than she imports in money
and other property.
"a few years" quoth he! We believe
you my boy. A very "fcw" years will bring
about the state of things which the St. John
of California sees in his visions of the future.

ORES FROM THE DESERT DIsTRIcT.-
Mcssrs. w. d. Brown, Lawrence and Nor
ris, of this city, who have just returned from
the Desert District, have presented us sew
cral very rich specimens Of ore from the Lady
Rachel claim, which they have located there.
This ore consists of the red oxide of iron
and peculiarly crystalized quartz, and con-
tains free gold in both, which may be readily
seen with the naked eye. Mr.. Rigby, of the
American Flat mill, tested about five pounds
Of this orc, from which he obtained about
half an ounce Of bullion, nearly all of which
is gold. The Lady Rachel claim, from
whence these specimens were taken, is loca-
ted very near the site Of Desert City, to the
south of the already famous Enterprise
claim. The fortunate locators own about
sixteen hundred feet of this valuable ledge,
and have brought couple of hundred pounds
of the rock into town for the purpose Of hay
ing it tested. The specimens we allude to
may be seen at this ofice.-BuRetin.

A REBELLIors SENAToR.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Sacramento Union,
writing under date of December 18th, says !;
salisbury, the Senator from Delaware, who
made such a disgraccful exhibition Of him
self in the Senate chamber last winter, was
reelected, as you know, at the last session
of the Legislature of his State. He has pre-
scented himself, as usual, and holds his seat
in the Senate, having presented his creden-
tials ut the extra session of the Senate last
March, at which time he was sworn in in the
usual manner; but since that time new
and more binding oath of allegiance has been
adopted, which all of the new Senators are
required to take. Under the regulations Of
the Senate he cannot draw pay until he sub
scribes to the oath; but he has already drawn
his pay or mileage, and now the Union Scna-
tors have decided that unless he takes the
oath his name shall be dropped from the roll
of the Senate. Senator Salisbury swears
that he will resign before he will take the
oath, and so the matter stands at present.
1t appears likely that VIC shall cheaply get rid
Of the Sccesh Senator by means of his in
tolerable repugnance to the popular exercise
Of taking the OATH"

THE OLD CURRENCY AND THE rNEw;
SIX PER CENTs-It is not generally.
known, saysthe Richmond Enansiner, that
the old currency, may be- funded in the sic,
per- cent. bonds which the Secretary Of the
Treasury is authorized toissue to theamonns
of Eve hundred .milions of dollars. The
bonds are to bear interest at the. gate Of six
per cent. per annum, and thus ax hundred
and sixty six dollars, tins invested, will
yield the, same, amount Of interest as one
thousand .dollars in the four, per cents
forty dollars per apnam in both cases. SO
the holder Of the notes will lose nothing, in
amount Of interest, BY. neglseting to fund
them at thsir, expressed value in four per
cents, and funding them hereafter: at tho
rate Of sixty six cents. in the dollar in sig
per cents. The, interest on the six pei
cents is secured by sbe pledge of the rsyen'
ues of the Copfederacy derived from itsim.
port duties.and its export, dutiesson cotton,
tobacco and naval storas., No fund or roy.
enue is pledged or set apart for the pay.
ment of the interest on. the four per cents.
The holders Of the six per cent. bonds will
be preferred creditors Of the Government,
secured BY the mortgage Of a'sufsdisns ..

SORGHUM, OR CHINESE SUGAR
- GAME - -


NJ. Editor Several years ago, from
our knowledge of the chemical analysis of
Sorghum, we claimed that it was capable of
becoming popular agricultural product in
consequence of the large amount of saccha-
rine matter contained in it. And We then
presented to several farmers the Importance
of largely raising it, but owing to its novel;
ty; and the apprehension of failure, there
was but little cultivated. But, unlike many
other new and untried things, it is proving
itself 70 be an invaluable product. Its ne
tive climate is very little different from ours,
and hence it can be very successfully Guilt
waited on any of our lands that will produce
corn. 1t grows more luxuriantly thap any
other cereal, even on,poor lands, and ordi,
nsrily rich lands will yield enough of the
cane per acre to make from fifty to one hun
dred and fifty gallons of nice syrup, or a
proportiouate quantity of nice raw sugar.
It was thought, several years ago, that sugar
could not be made from it, but it has been
clearly demonstrated, by actual experiment,
that it can. The processes of manufactu.
ring syrup or sugar from this cane are very
simple and easy. When the seed are per-
fectly ripe, cut them off with about foot Of
the upper part Of the stalk, and strip of
the blades, afterwards cut the cane in sue.
cession as you can clush it, for if you cut
in large quantities and place at your mill
or elsewhere for day or more together, it
will become somewhat sour; and the cane
will stand ten or twelve days after being
stripped of its seed and blades without in.
jury. At your crushing mill you can easily
arrange so that the juice of the cane will
be passed through q thin cloth as it is caught
in proper vessels. Next, put the juice thus
expressed into your boilers, boiling it slowly
with a regular temperature Of heat, and
skimming off the scum oa the top Of the
simmering liquid. AS it begins to attain
the thickness of syrup it should be oontin-
ualIy we'll stirred to preventits being burnt.
If you wish to simply make syrup, you
can easily determine when it has been safHi-
ciently simmered, by taking up small qnan.
titles, and cooling it. If you wish to make
sugar, continue the process of simmering
and stirring it we'll until bubbles are formed
and broken on the surface of the syrup
The bubbles will break in about fifteen min
utes after they are formed. After this, put
it in wooden vessels, and be sure not to stir

A Glorious Beginning.

A campaign never opened more auspiOi;
c;usly in any cause than the pending one
has for: our own. Wherever the Federal
tide has rolled in, il has been. dashed back
10 broken and bloody spray. At Charles.
ton, their efforts have proven abortiye; in
Florida, they were ignominiously defeated; ;
in Mississippi they failed; atMobile they
were baf1ed; and on the Rappahannock and
in the raid on Richmond, they were beaten
by a, handful; and now the glad tidings
come to us from the fertile plains Of LQuiaii
ana that another victory has, been Won and
another, defeat recorded on the long list
which graces the pages Of Yankee history.
Were it not for the wonderfully recupera,
tive powers, or, 50 to speak, the elasticity
of our enemy, events like these, following
each other in rapid recurrence, would have
brought our struggle to close long before
now, But let us be satisfied with the re-
suit. For three years, We have given the
foe almost monthly evidence Of our invinoi-
bility-sad evidence to ourselves, bloody
testimony to him-but We have the con-
sciousness Of knowing that at last ne, have
stirred bis stubborn heart to its depths, and
revealed the long buried fact that Federal
arms car never snbjugate the South: Dur;
ing thesa long years Of suffering and doubs,
the truth has been gradually stealing ipto
the Northern mind, until brought ont BY
the antagonisms Of. a Presidential election,
it stands confessed by the vast majority Of
our foes. Il is nov. no Iongera q war by the
people. hat By the politicians q stnpendona
sacra6ce Of blood to secure the baub!e Of. q
Presidential chair. To win this prize, Lin
coin is now bending every energy The
"man on horseback" is his teol-the srmy,
his puppets. They are to move against
Richmond. Success may give him the game
for which he plays, or put Gen. Grant. in
bis place; but defeat win be the downfall Of
both, and probably be the eliminating point
Of Federal disasters which precedea suaarly
peace: Fortunately, there is every reason
for our own assurance of 'success. The AZ.
my Of Gen: Lee has never yet been defeat
ed, and is numerically strolgettd day than
It has been ID year. Car officers are on
Che alert, our men impatient and our hopes
buoyed BY q sense Of conscious superiolitY
id an that makes natien great. With such
adjuncts, we cannot but be successfal.---
