A correspondent of the Boise News, in
speaking of the several new mining districts,
recently discovered, says:
The Mammoth district is going to create
an excitement in the world of San Francisco
ere long. The lodges are immensely large,
and from numerous assays of the rock al
Bannock, Portland and San Francisco, the
average top rock beats the Gould & Curry,
of Washoe fame. The lodges are from to
20 feet in width, and can be traced distance
Of from one to two thousand feet above the
ground so, also, of the lodes in the newly
discovered district. Who says this is not
great country Why, in year from now
$4,000 to 100000 men can find employment
upon the quartz lodges alone, and if the
Government should Lax the quartz miners
as proposed, the snug little sum of 80 100000
must be paid in annually from these districts
alone, that is, provided it can be collected
possibly it may when this cruel war is
over"

sion in tax case, which is of some mpor,

that the county in which the assessment is

The STEAMER WAsHoE has been fully re-
paired since being run into by the Yosemite,
and is again making regular trips She is
pitted against the Chrysopolis of the old
line, and is running her very close. There
10 but few minutes difference in the time
Of the two boats either way between San
Francisco and Sacramento. 1t is claimed
that the Chrysopols makes a little the best
time, but the fact that they run her light
against the Washoe, and have an extra boat

as If the Wasboe was the fastest boat. Since
the attempt to sink the Washoe she has be-
come the favorie-the feeling against the

IMPORTANT TO MISUNDERSTANDING the late
decisions of the Comm issioners of Interna
Revenue are tie following which may be of
interest to members Of the bar and others:
An appeal or instrument by which a suit
is transferred from a Justice of the Peace to
Superior Court is an original process, and
subject to stamp duty as such.
Tie urat of an affidavit taken before a
Justice of the Peace, Notary Public or other
officer duly authorized to take afdavts, is
held to be a certificate, and subject to a
stamp duty of five cents. Where, however.
affidavit is made relative to any petition,
motion or other proceeding, in any suit
actually pending in any court, no stamp
duty chargeabe thereon, in consideration OF
the stamp affixed to the "originaI process, y
by which such suit was commenced. The
fifty cent stamp affixed to the "orginal pro
cess" in the commencement of suit exempts
atfidavts made or certificates issued under it.

OLD BELLOWS BELLOwlNn.

The Democratic Press, of San Francisco,
10 giving an account of DR.. Bellows Fourth
Of July Grafton, says
ut was long, wearisome and dull 10 many
places and fanatical as can well be conceived
all the way through. If one had not known
it beforehand, we would not have been able
10 learn from the Doctors remarks that he
was delivering an Grafton commemorative
the great day when our fathers signed that
immortal Declaration of Independence -
Lincoln was gloritied; Seward was compl.
mented for his crafty diplomacy, and Chase
was extravagantly auded as the "clear
headed, long armed Secretary of the Treas
ury;" but we heard no alusion made to the
''cear-headed, long-armed," brave-hearted
men who gathered around the glorious old
parchment wherein was written the brave
words that emanci pated nation. Bellows
made several very bitter illusions to the
Democrats who oppose LincoIn's Admins
tration, and poured out upon them many
very upcerica explosives. We need hardly
say that all such illusions were cheered to
the echo
The Doctor expressed much love for the
war, and said that as means Of extirpating
slavery i. was God-sent. He thought the
progress which our arms had already made
in the work Of extermnatng that "unclean
devil, Slavery" as he termed it, was worth
billions of money and million of lives"-
"He would rather the war would continue
forever, than that the Union should be re-.
stored Nth Slavery" The italics we have
used are the Speakers for he emphasized
the above with much vehemence. He took
occasion to alude to the manner in which
Californians treated Cinnamon. He hoped
that the "unfrendly Legislation upon our
statute books, relating to them would be
speedily done away with" He thought no
such distinctions should be made on account
Of color.
Taken altogether, the speech of DR. Bel
lows was the most extravaganty fanatical we
ever listened to. TWAS no more appropriate
to the sacred duty on which it was delivered,
than would be a legal speech by Alexander
Campbell from Bishop Kips pulpit on Sun
day. Some of The sentiments were atrocious
and damnable, and could only have proceed
ed from heart blackened and scared by
fanaticism, as biood,hirsly as that which
moved the Spanish Inqusiion."
