OUR CITIZEN soLDrERY.

We acknowledge the compliment paid US
by the Silver City Guards, on their return
from review. The appearance of the soldiers,
their neat uniforms, and carefully cleaned
equipments reflected great credit upon them
selves and our sister city. Is there not mill
tary enthusiasm enough in Gold Hill to form
one or more military companies: We GER
tainly should now realize the truth of the old
maxim, sin peace prepare for war" The
distance between US and the older States rem
ders it difficult for our hardy miners to throw
their strong arms and willing hearts into the
fight.
Our citizens have literally bestowed their
treasure 10 comfort the sick and wounded in
our armies. Although away from the present
scene of action, the affronts of England and
France may involve us in foreign war. II
the arrogance of France continues, we must
fight. In such an event, the presence Of the
French in Mexico, so near our borders, would
require US to hasten to the assistance Of our
sister State. The citizens Of Gold Hill, with
out arms or aecoutrements, not drilled, with
out any military organization, would be the
drones Of the Territory. Will not some Of
our young men form company, learn the
manual, learn to handle arms, step quickly
and gracefully, and train, even If it be in citi-
Gems dressa The INSTRUMENTATION soldiers
and our own-the soldiers Of the regular En-
glish army are enlisted for ten years (infant-
ny, and twelve years Cavalry; they receive
from thirteen to sixteen pence Twenty to
thirty cents) per day, or six to eight dollars
per month. Ifthey re-enlist and are twenty
one years in service, they are entitled to re-
firing pension Of sixteen cents per day. Our
own soldiers receive from thirteen TO twenty
dollars per month. The recruit who has not
been in service is entitled to bounty Of
S30S, equal, nearly, to the highest sum per
month paid the English soldier for term Of
three years. The veteran volunteer receives
bounty of S4O2. In addition to this liber-
atty on the part of the Federal Government,
the States and towns pay a large bounty.
And to this is to be added the munifcence Of
our citizens towards the Sanitary Fund.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER, MEN, WOMEN AND
THE Wharf.-The New England Soldiers Relief
Association held grand patriotic reunion at the
New York Academy of Music, month ago, when
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered IN ad.
dress, from which the following passage is ex.
tracted: THAT the South is becoming utterly
exhausted, is becoming more and more evident
every week. They are becoming exhausted in
their materials of war Their exhaustion of men
has held pace, and their exhaustion with money
| has run with even greater speed. How has II
been with the Northl Has our population sens
bly, decreasedl AM sorry to see that we seem
| to have too much population. l will confess to
some feeling of shame ut times, TO see so many
| robust men In our streets-so many young men
| in civil emplOyments where women could take
their places Just as WELL and enable those to give
their services to the country. would not say
ANYTHING opprobrious. would certainly say
nothing unjust to those engaged In an honest in
| dustry. / know that many Of them are so cir
cumstancel that they have depending upon them
| those at home that they must needs sup.
port; but out of the swarming tens Of
thousands Of the healthy and hearty young
| men, they have not all of them widow
ed mothers or orphan brothers and sisters. am
| sure there are hundreds and thousands of them
who ought TO be in camp. This is one of the
reasons have for desiring CONSUMPTION to end this
nercenary volunteering, and to place the burdens
OF the war equally upou. all True, we feel the
want of laborers little in our various branches
of industry but we are receiving fresh blood from
| across the water, and believe we need this for
eign blood that is enterprising enough to come to
this country. Our danger is not want but luxu-
| ry. As to the money question, such as II is, we
have money enough, and that interest will bewell
cared for as long us we have at the head of that
Department the able financier who has, with such
singular genius, carried the country so successful
ly and safely through these years of war. The
south il weary, and De North is not. True, we
desire peace, but we desire no peace that has no
justice in it; and in our circumstances, no peace
which has not liberty in It, The South is tired Of
the struggle, and but for military despotisrn, /
take it, II would long ago have given it up A
CONSUMPTION is indispensable to the life of the ma
ton. If this conflict is mush longer to be carried
forward, you have got to do one of two things,
back dawn from the conflict ut this point not from
exhaustion, and not from want of men, of money
or material, but from want of patriotic zeal. No
words that the English tongue contains can meas
ure then the guilt Of having made this war of
three years. You cannot justify yourselves to
your own conscienees, you cannot justify your
| selves TO pDsteriky !"

A CORRESPONDENT Of Virginia City paper oe-
eupics over column of that Journal with disser-
tation on the best way Of raising dead bodies OF
drowned persona Considering that there Is not
water enough in the Territory, in one body, 10
drown rat, we think the writer remarks should
receive careful attention from the denizens Of
sage brush dom.-Sae. Bee. -
Still the people in "brush-dom" manage to
keep their mining operations going ahead; and
the county Of Story alone, "a narrow strip only
three by nine miles, is producing more solid
wealth than any six mining counties IN Cali
fornia. The dissertation" in the Virgins
paper was intended to apply to the city Of
Sacramento on the occasion Of its next over

sion to "eall for boat" like Senator Per-
kins. Too much water is worse than not
enough.

NEW SURFACE DIoeNes.-There was
some excitement this morning in Virginia
about some new surface diggings that have
Just been struck in some red hills somewhere
in the vicinity Of Truckee river. Three OIL
four express wagons were chartered and a
number Of men left, bright and early, for the
new mines. Nobody appeared to know, but
all agreed that they were Of extraordinary
richness. There were different stories afloai
about the distance to the diggings, too. Some
said it was only eight miles to the mines,
while othera declared It was fully twenty.

THE ALABAMA.-If there was truth in the re-
port received here few days since, that on the
Cd of January the Alabama was at Annoy guarded
by the Wyoming, there can be no truth in the
news brought by telegraph from Europe, thar on
the 5th of January the Alabama was fifty miles
south of Rangoon. From the harbor of Annoy
to Rangoon, around the Malay Peninsula
Is considerably farther than from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. 0fcourse no craft has yet been
built that could make the trip in three days.
The two stories are entirely inconsistent, though
if our Annoy news had not been received, the
English report would have been consistent enough
with the next preceding report. The Annoy re-
port, it Will be remembered, was brought to this
port by the bark Ida d. Rogers, from Kanagawa.
She had It from the brig Mary Capen, which at
China had it from the steamer Fa Kerr, which
spoke the Wyoming off Annoy, january I'd A
mercantile firm in Kanagawa also forwarded the
news to Macondray g. Co., merchants in San
Francisco, who are in the Japanese and Chinese
trade, and believe it to be true.-S. F. Bulletin.
