WHIsKYTowN, Feb. II,

WHIsKYTowN, Feb. II, 1864.
Ed. CouRIEH:-I have been wandering in
pursuit of happiness, health and information
for some time, and now for brief space of
hood of this little mining camp of Whisky
town. Like most other placer mining camps
of the early day, its glory has departed,
never more to be revived on the same basis
for its prosperity. 1t is worked out; truly
so-if you take the word of a large majority
hereabouts as sufficient evidence; But if, on
the contrary. one looks around little, he
will find that the very eaterprising and gen.
tlemanly merchant here. Mr.. Kesler, buys
from one hundred to two hundred and fifty
ounces Of gold dust weekly. Where does it
Williams & Co. took out to four hands, last
week, on Saw Mill Flat, 5000. Remer's
claim. on Whisky Greek, must pay at least
500 weekly, and Hazlett's. just below. must
average that amount: and all who work
make something. Yet tits true this is small
potatoes compared with old times here, when
there were more people, and none making
less than an ounce day. Never mind, old
Whiskytown Quartz, bearing gold, silver
and copper abounds in your lap, and that is
bound to bring you up, and with that as a
basis for your prosperity, you may hope to
live on ard always.
So many good looking lodes have been dis
covered in this vicinity that l feel sad in
looking at them, aud wondering over the
vastness of their united wealth. and how long
'twould be before capital would find its way
here and develope to the uses of the human
family what now lies valueless. On inquiry
of some of the substantial and better inform
ed citizens here, if any efforts were being
made OF their part to nducs-capital here.
was informed quite fatty that none was
needed-that the enterprising gentleman be-
fore referred to, Mr.. Kesler, was about max
ing arrangements for the purchase and erec-
ton of ten stamp custom quartz mill. and
with that the people here would be able to
show such evidence of wealth as to set capi-
tai in furry. believe it. So bully for
Kesler! Bully for Whiskytown! Her peo
ple are all bricks, and carry very few in
their hats.
Speaking of custom mills. see by the
CouRIER's correspondent, Home" that one
is needed and advocated by him in Shasta.
Let me hope that Shasta combined may at
least keep pace with this little place. where
there is but one who has means to move in
the right direction

The Sanitary Commission.

Nearly every department ofour Government,
and nearly every man holding high position
under it, has at some time or otherbeen sus-
pected of doing something that had better
remain undone; but the Sanitary Commits
sion, whose operations extend over district
commensurate with the operations of the
Federal armies, unlikeany other institution,
has thus far passed through the erdeal un--
scathedy unharmed- and unsupported, and its
success as distributor of blessings has been
singularly happy. We are in hopes that ev
cry one willing to contribute is convinced
that the half dollars and dollars gathered here
"n the Pacific slope from generous and con-
fding people, will go as safely, and he ap.
piled as truly and faithfully to the object for
which it is intended, as it is in the power of
human action to do. Again we say to all:
Have you ever thought how much we who
live so far from the distress created by this
unhappy war can do, if we each give what
we can conveniently spare? Just think how
many fractured bones bandage up; how
many cuts and bullet holes heal over
how many parched lips and throbbing tenn
pies cool; how many crazed brains re-
turn to reason, and how many noble
brave snatch from the jaws of death; and
in so doing. again think of the many mothers
whose eyes have grown dim with weary
watching; how many wives whose hearts are
almost broken with anxious waiting; how
many sisters whose merry laugh has ceased
to gladden. the household, and whose step has
lost its elasticity in fearful forebodings for
the absent one, who will, when we act as be.
comes ourselves, exclaim God bless you.

son, the pride of my old age; husband,
the sharer of my joys; loving brother
who is the delight of my youth"

Another mill is about being erected near

way. There are numerous valuable quartz
lodges along the line of the Clear Creek
ditch, which are SO located that they can be
worked with but little expense

A DELICATE HINr.-Alluding to the recent
neck stretching affair at Aurora, the Virginia
Enterprise gives the following delicate hint
to some Of the habitues of that village:
We would not create unnecessary alarm ;
but we would remind many bad men here
that they had better absent themselves. We
give this advice in all candor. A little spark
may produce confagration. 1t is idle to
attempt to conceal the fact that people meet
IN quiet groups and grow enthusiastic over
what has been done in our neighboring city
We therefore give timely caution. believing
that a word to the wise is suffi ieient.'
