The Dying Soldier:

Upon the battle field
\ dying soldier lay,
The sun set camly in the west.
Aud peaceful closed the day.
His comrades kneeling DER him,
With sorrow at his heart,
For they'd often braved the battle,
But death will soon them part.
He family turned upon his side,
And to his comrade said:
Beneath the shade of yonder oGk,
wish my body laid.
And write unto my loving wife,
Tell her happy die.
And Eope to meet and never part
In that blest eternity.
And my two little children
AZ they sit upon their mothers knee,
And lisp their prayers to God above,
My He protect the three.
With confidence my family,
To my country | bequeath,
For to defend her liberty,
Their father meets his death.
May the soldiers wife and children,
Neer feel want or misery,
And honored be the soldiers name,
Who dies for liberty.
And you my faithful friend,
4 fond adieu to thee,
May you from dangers still be spared
our couutry's happiness to see.
The LIES blood fast is ebbing,
From out his mangled breast;
One look be gave toward Heaven,
Then calmly sank to rest.

CoPPERHEAD RAWLINGS = The Pacific
Echo. a Confederate organ published at Napa,
says: " Desperate diseases require desperate
remedies; and as the disease of Abolitionism
is sweeping like a peStilence over the land, 1t
requires not merely sedatives, but the knife to
the root, the dislodgment Of the cancer itself,
bodily and wholly. To feed war, is to feed
Abolitionism; to feed Abolitionism, IS to
foster the present Administration to keep
up the present Administration, is to ruin the
Union, PROSTATE the citizen, tie the hands Of
your posterity, and place a despotism and a
despot where once sat liberty and Wash
ington. Talk about reinstating union OF
North and South BY war Nonsense! As
well talk about binding them together BY con-
slant interior volcanic eruption" After a
Copperhead review of the situation, the Echo
goes on to say: Under these circumstances
how important is it that Democrats
should stand to their guns, stand to all
their principles, stand to the Constitu-
ton and law, stand to each other, and, with
one voice and one will, bid defiance to every
political enemy, military or civil, epauletted
with authority, or clad in the plain garb of a
citizen-high or low; the fat and greasy off,
cial, stall-fed at the public crib, or the lean
and lank picture Of emsciation, living on ex-
pectancy, the ring-master Of the circus, or
the great jeke-cracker, who occupies a noted
seat at the White House."

Thr stock Market.


The following review of the Mining Stock
Market of San Francisco for the week end
ing on the 9th inst is from the -4rgas OF
Saturday:
The Share Market has shown a fair de-
gree If activity this week, and prices fouthe
most part have been well maintained. Lead
ing Stocks at the close are very frm at en-
HANGED rates, and the fancieS are IN some
request There is no abatement III the re-
ceipts Of Bullion from Washoe, and nearly
all claims upon the ComStock are looking
well.
Gould { Curry has fuctuated between
$3.50 and 1900, and closes at 81 ,4SO ask
ed. 725 feet have been sold within this
range. The work Of development continues
vigorously, and no unfavoraole feature has
presented itself lately. Some loo tons OF
good ore is daily taken out from the shafts
sunk from the lower level, and four outside
mills are now employed.
Savage fell from 81, 2T5. seller 80, to 81 ,220.
buyer 10 DAYS, and rose at the close to $, 3Ot
bid, buyer so DAYS. This Company will re-
sumo the payment Of dividends on the 9th
proximo. so per share is anticipated.
Potosi is in rather less request, and fell
from $500 TO $3.50, at which latter rate 1t is
now offered. 20 feet were sold. A large
force is now employed in this mine.
Ophir was moderately dealt in, at about
$500. is feet were sold. This company are
about to experiment upon their low grade
ores, and expect to make the large quantity
on hand pay good profit.
Chollar has been exceedingly active, and
81 feet changed hands, declining from $500
to $40, and closing at $3.50 bid, buyer 80.
The new deposit Of ore found in the south
west drift is thought TO indicate the existence
of large chimney of pay mineral. \ recent
crushing Of this ore has yielded over $50 per
ton. Other portions Of this mine are i'm
proving, and the drift from the main shaft TO
reach the lode in the 9TH level is progressing
slowly.
Hale s Norcross has been in better favor,
advancing from 500 TO $3.50.
Uncle Sam was sold at 500, but is now
offered at SEQ.

North Potosi has been very actively dealt
in, and 500 shares were sold, declining from

sion Of the referee in the case of the Gould

against the latter.

ROBBERY OF MAILS.-SALT LAKE, Au-
gust 25th.-For some time the public have
suffered from robbing mails between Platte
and Missouri rivers. Yesterday we learned
that Leonard, the Acting Postmaster at Aus
tin On. IT,, whose Office had severely suffered,
and who passed through here some time since
in search of the missing mails, laid plan to
reach Tmeson, the Postmaster at Fort
Kearney, and caught him with all the evi-
denee of guilt upon him. For over year
that Office has been suspected, probably By
eyery Postmaster on the line, and at this de-
lection there will be great satisfaction.
Judge Carter, the Special Mail Agent OF the
Overland route, has rendered good service in
this affair, for which he will have the thanks
of the public.-Sde Union.

A CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE RULED
Orr.-The primary elections for delegates to
the Union County Convention took place in
Nevada county Thursday. and judging from
the local papers there was an animated con,
test between those who favored an unpled2ed
ticket and the friends of W. H. Sears, who
made the canvass against such ticket and
exclusively for that candidate. A dispatch
received from Nevada last evening informs us
that the county has gone for unpledged dele
gates and against Sears. This result virtu-
ally leaves that candidate for Congressional
honors OUT in the cold, for he cannot expect
to receive support from other counties when
he fails to carry his own.-Sae. Union.

GOLD MARKET TRIcKs.-As sample Of
the way in which spectators run up the price
of gold in New York, the Rochester Democrat
is enabled to state, on the authority Of gen.
tleman who was in Wall street at the time,
that on one Of the days when the precious
metal was quoted at go and over, gentlemen
who had $50, 900 IN coin to sell were unsue-
cessfui in obtaining an offer Of 200 for 1t:
The quotations were controlled by political
schemers who would transfer SO to $50 in
coin at a time backward and forward, settling
the price between them, and then cause the
rate TO be telegraphed over the country a. the
