The Overland ROure,

Speaking of the Indian fight at Big Sandy
Creek &C. IT,, on November 29th, the Black
Hawk Journal says
1t will be noticed that the Indians fought
bravely, and from sunrise to half.past2 p. NJ,
or about eight hours, and that our brave
troops are looking and marching forward to
other encounters. God grant that they may
turn out us well as this one. We trust that a
vigorous and successful campaign will clear
the road Of the marauders down about Plum
Creek and Fort Kearney, but it is not at all
certain. From five hundred circumstances,
and through as many sources, it is certain
that white men are at the bottom of that.
We can suggest no better remedy for it than
Col. Jim Ford, who is now at Fort Leaven-
worth resting his regiment after their short
but arduous campaign against Price. Mis-
souri, being tolerably quiet, and Gov. Evans
having gone East for the express purpose Of
procuring protection for the Overland Route,
we look for nothing less than the ordering Of
the Colorado Regiment onto the Plains, with
orders 10 destroy the Confederate thieves,
who borrow an Indian disguise i'll which to
perpetrate their depredations, and the wooden
soldiers, who, BY their excessive passiveness,
give strong grounds for the suspicion that
they are in the confidence of the robbers. For
ten or twelve months they have been in the
habit Of coming down on the Route at Plum
Creek whenever they felt like it, destroying a
coach or train, numbering the men found with
them, and they have never yet been followed
to their hiding place. Such conduct speaks
for itself. For men who pretend to be SOL
diers, words fail to express its disgraceful-
ness Col. Jim Ford is the man for these
soldiers and their confederate robbers.

MILITARY RAILROADS.

A Nashville letter to the New York
Times gives a comprehensive description
of the immense military railroad system OF
Tennessee. Twelve months ago the roads
centering in Nashville were in dilapi-
dated state, from natural weBr and tear,
and from the exigencies of military opera
tons. Now, there are at that place 1900
miles of railroad in good workable condi-
ton. In re- building, extending and per-
fecting what promises to be permanent
railroad system for the Southwest, con-
Meeting the great Cis-Mississippi regions
of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, the
Government IS expanding money at the
rate of ga, 100000 a year. The locomo-
tive and railway machine shops at Nash
vile are among the largest in the world.
In these departments 5000 mechanics are
employed. In the car department. 1900
men are employed, and they are expected
to turn out two hundred cars during the
winter. The blacksmith shops and foun-
dries, the freight-house and armory, the
hospital accommodations and the contln-
gent provision for lodging and boarding
the workmen, correspond with the vast
ness and completeness Of the whole me-
cham cal arrangements.

ALoAs OF $1,000, 100000 OFFERED BY
GRRMANs.-The N. Y. Ereninq Post says:
" We notice that some Of the foreign Jour
nails, English and German, scout at the re-
port that loan of one thousand million doL-
lars was offered some time ago to our gov
eminent by European capitalists. we are
able to say, for the satisfaction OF all intet-
ested in this question, that in July last Inc ,ig
agent of a number OF German bankers dio
make formal offer to Mr.. Fessenden, Sec
retary of the Treasury, Of loan OF one thou-
sand million dollars. We have reason to be-
lieye that this offer is still open, and we know
that it caused rise in the price OF the Unltea
States bonds in the German markets, when IL
became known who were the persons that
made 1t. On the 29th Of July, United states
six per cents. were selling at thirty-fou per
cent. in Hamburg; on the 18th OF august
when the circumstances of the offer first De
came known upon the Exchange there, UNI
ted States six per cent. 1872 bonds were
selling at thirty-fye per cent. In ten days
these bonds rose to forty, and they were lately
in demand at forty-two per cent. The elec-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln by SO great majority
will increase the confidence abroad IN the
stability of our Government, while the eVi-
dent extremities in which the rebels are,
point to an early end of the war. 1t is not
likely, therefore, that the offer which mas
been made will be either withdrawn or
changed to less advantageous terms for vi"

THE CURRENCY QUESTION
AGAIN.

The Iaion Of this morning fires another
shot from the long silent Greenback Bat
terry. It is in favor of retroactive Spe-
cifc Contract Act, but only as an alter
native for the coveted adoption of the
Greenback and National Bank currency.
Speaking of the latter species of curren-
cy, read an article in to-day's News con-
corning National Banks.') The Union
says, eve refuse to adopt the currency Of
the nation to which we belong, and the
highest Judicial authority of the Govern
ment declares it to be as good to pay
debts with as gold and silver" We per-
tectly agree with the highest judicial
authority Of the Government" and We
should be highly delighted to have every
one Of our debtors walk up to our office
and pay US off in greenbacks-at Just err
Getiy rhGt they are tcorth. 4 ten dollar
greenback is not "JuSt as good as gold or
silver" to pay for job of printing that
is worth golden eagle. That's what's
the matter. Value paid for value received
is business. When we agree to do a
thing, or sell thing, for ten dollars in
gold, and to receive our pay month
hence, we know what to calculate upon.
If we agree to receive that sum in green
backs, at their face, we have simply made
4 gambling contract, and are at the
mercy Of set of swindhng gam
blers in Wall street, New York.
The ten-dollar note which we receive at
the expiration of thirty days may be worth
what it was when we made the contract,
or It may be worth one-iourth of the cost
Of our goods or the amount paid our
workmen. Gold is the only true stand
ard of valuation, and patriotism, glory
and buncombe cannot change that stand
ard. The only American Eagle" that is
recognised in business transactions is the
round yellow wheel of Government,
stamped with the impress of Uncle Sans
mint. When our month is up and we
present our bill for that which is honestly
worth ten dollars, we want ten dollars
worth of coin, or flour, or boots, or
whisky, or something else; and if We are
paid in greenbacks, we want ten dollars
IOorth of them, if it takes stack as big and
as green as one of Dan DeQuille's beloved
loads Of hay. We don't repudiate " the
currency of the nation. We are as will
ing to receive that as the gold, if we only
receive enough to pay US our just dues
Those are our sentiments-those are the
sentiments of the people Of Nevada on the
currency question. Our Legislators are
perfectly aware of that sentiment, and we
expect them to govern themselves accord
ingly.

A RlourishiuR Mine,

Professor Silliman has recently examined
and prepared complete report Of the EN-
pire Mill and Mine, at Gold Hill, Nevada.
From this report it appears that the mine has
been opened to a depth of AS feet. The
Company have crushed, since their organiza-
ton, about 5000 tons of ore, from which
they have received bullion to the value Of
81 ,043, 720-an average of $40.76 per ton.
Of this amount, $685. 900 has been paid out
in dividends; $4,000 is now in reserve for
the December dividend, leaving balance Of
S73l ,120 to represent the cost of mining and
milling, opening the mine, and all other ex-
penses to date. There has never been an as
sessmcnt levied upon the stock of this mine,
nor has anything ever been paid in on its
capital stock, which is 81 100000 All its
prospecting, opening, milling and mining,
has been paid out Of the mine itself, and two
fine mills have been built, at an expense, the
FIRST of SCI, 900, and the second Of $4,000.
The proportion OF the gross proceeds which
can be laid aside for dividends hereafter, will
be largely increased over the past. The Pro-
fessor, after careful examination Of the in
terror of the mine, thinks that the total body
of ore already developed, above the present
lowest level, will yield 81, 1856, 900, or nearly
four times as much bullion as has already
been taken out. There are but few mining
companies that can make better exhibit of
actual working or prospective yield than the
Empire Mill and Mining Company. The
affairs Of this Company have always been
managed with skill and prudence-a fact
which we have frequently heretofore noticed.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Union regrets "to see that resolu-
tons have been introduced into the Legis-
lature asking Congress to assist the La
trobe Railroad" What ice regret is the
apparent necessity of those resolutions.
We believe with the Union that the route
by Dutch Flat is the most feasible, and we
believe also, that were the parties who
have control of that route prompted by
the proper spirit, that road could be
pushed through to completion within
reasonable time. While such spirit was
evinced, we were the warmest friend OF
that route, and most strenuously con-
demned those who attributed bad faith to
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.
We saw, as we see now, the great natural
advantages possessed by that route, and
our faith in the speedy construction OF
that road was unbounded. That faith is
to-day badly shattered. The ,hesitating,
faltering conduct of affairs by that COM
pany has given strength to the suspicious
and force to the charges of the enemies OF
the company, that it was trihing with the
Government and the people. The length
of time which has been consumed in con-
structing thirty one miles of the cheapest
portion of the road, and the dead stand
still at which it has so long remained at
that terminus, is but poor promise OF
the energy and activity which are re-
quired for the completion Of the heavy
work the company has before it. We
have received copy of pamphlet emit
tied 1.-THE Pacific Railroad-A Defense
Against its Enemies" 1t is a book of
fifty-eight pages; and we are constrained
to say that it consists more of acrimony
and spleen than of sound argument or
satisfactory answers to the complaints
made BY those whom It denominates its
enemies. The very fact of the necessity
of the publication of this lengthy "de-
Tense" proves that there was much force
i'll the charges of the enemy" and with
out having read that enemy's complaint
about the dutch Flat Swindle," We
pronounce the "defense bad upon its
face. The Central Pacific Company have
the legal possession Of what is almost
universally admitted to be the best route
across the Sierras but we are forced UNI
willingly to the belief that they Will never
complete the road as long as there is more
money to be made by delay. The people
of California and Nevada demand the con-
struction of railroad across the noun
tains, and we have no fancy for having
the postponement of that enterprise
matter of option with the Central Pacific
Railroad Company. We believe that the
passage of the resolutions now before the
Legislature would arouse that company
from the false notion that it was the su-
preme power, and cause it to exhibit
little more of a disposition to fulfill the
promises by which it persuaded the Leg
islators of California and the people of
Placer county to come to its assistance,
and to burden the people with onerous
taxation. The bird that can sing, and
won't sing, should be made to sing" and
Cutters resolutions will make the Dutch
Flat Company sing.

BULLY +,

A writer in the New York Mining jour
aal informs the world, through the CO.
lumns of that paper, that:
There are hundreds of mines in Califor-
MIA and Nevada, that will pay interest on
s., 100000 at the rate of two per cent a
month, in gold, that can be had to-day ior
81 900. 900 in currency. Think Of II an IN
come of so, 900 per month in gold, on an IN
yestmept Of 100000 in currency. Where
can capital ind such field for investment
az here presents itself? Here is country
not eouailed in the world for mineral wealth
of all kinds-zold, silver, copper, lead, IRON,
coal. salt, borax and sulphur and for agri-
culture and salubrity Of climate, the Garden
Of Eden would not excel it. There IS no COM
petition in gold ana silver mining like there
IS in iron, copper, lead, coal, oil, &C., &c
Our product never goes begging market
like those other products just named Mel
Their does it depreciate in value; an ounce Of
gold and silver has fixed value for all time
Whoo-ray! We hadn't the slightest
idea. We don't suppose that correspon-
dent would come down single eypheI
on either the number of mines or the
amount of the twenty per cent monthly
dividend. We don't want him to. Fal
be it. Such representations have fine
tendency to exalt the Eastern idea as tc
the profits of mining operations in Calitor'
MIA and Nevada. Taxation" at onct
occurs to the Eastern Congressman. Bu
think of the glory.

Of the members would be unable to remain

Mr.. Larrowe's motion prevailed, and he
was called to the Chair.
