| AurPrcIS CITY Should the mines IN
the vicinity OF this embryo city (now quite a
thriving village) continue as high in public
favor as at present for the next year, it will
be city indeed. Lots are going of briskly,
and large number of buildings are in pro-
cess of erection. Should but one-fourth of
the mines that are now being worked prove
paying, their number would be great enough
to support city as large as Virginia. In
deed, with the paying mines already deyel-
oped between this place and American Flat,
we should soon see our city and American
City growing together and mingling as Eir-
ginia and Gold Hill are now doing-and over
from American City to Virginia, all would
present the appearance Of single city. The
present prospects Of the mines near and on
American Flat, are Of the most tatterlng
character, and indicate that the paying mines,
which alone are required TO build up such
series Of cities as We have limited at, are likely
to be fixed fact.
DEATH OF Mrs. KEYEs.-Mrs. Margaret
Reyes, wife of f. w. Keyes, Undertaken,
Virginia, died yesterday morning, at o'clock
of brain fever, after an illness Of two days.
The loss Of this estimable woman IS unlTer-
sally felt in Virgins, to whose people she
was endeared by her untiring acts OF charity
in administering to the wants OF the SICK
and destitute-her industry as a wiie, and
virtues as Christian woman. Her tune
raj will take place tomorrow, (Tuesday,) at
10 o'clock from St. Mary'S Church, where
Mass will be offered up for the happy repose
of her soul.
BEEF CArrLg.-Two or three small droves
of cattle of all sizes, from the calf of tender
age and slightly developed understanding, to
the fuIl-grown OK, on whose hcrns appear
many wrinkles Of discretion, passed through
Virginia this morning. Some of these AMI
mails were extremely thin, and they were evil
IDENTIFY driven from the parched pastures OF
California TO prevent their dying there OF
starvation. We presume that they will not
sell at i very high figure, but then what are
people to do with their cattle
House WARuISG.-Seversl reporters Of
newspapers and persons interested in the
town or mines, went out 10 Red Mountain
District yesterday on a sort Of house-warm-
ing e1pedition-ths edihce calling for this
operation being new three-story hotel, just
erected in Washington City. We understand
that a considerable amount Of champagne
and liquors of more potency was expended
in the course of the ceremony. We believe
there are several very promising mines now
being opened in this new district.
ANOTHER PRESENTATION. - We under
stand that officer Downey, the guardian gent
us of the Celestial residents of Virginia. was
to-day presented with a splendid suit Of
clothes by his long-tailed admirers. Downcy
has uniformly treated the Chinese with kind
ness, as well as proper irnnesS, and the nu.
merous valuable presents he has received
from them proves that even the people OF the
Flowery Kingdom are capable Of appreciat-
ing kind treatment.
NRAr.-The principal streets OF Virginia
presented neater appearance last Sunday
than for long time. They were perfectly
free from the trash and litter BY which they
are usually dis6gured, and were well wet
down BY the sprinkling carts, giving them an
air of cleanliness and comfort perfectly re-
freshing. Why could they not be kept in
this excellent condition all summer:
QrIEr.-But one arrest was made IN Fir-
sinia-sleeping on the sidewalk. This is
rather unusual for a Sunday night.
JuDGR ArwILL's CouEr.-No business
was done in this Court this forenoon. Dull
