durance vile. He is yet among US, and has
been all day holding levee at saloon on b
street, Virginia, near the Court House.
When we called TO see the distinguished gen.
tleman we found him lying across two chairs
Al the worlds offenses andman's inhumanity
TO man. But it was palpable that his heart
had been softened BY whisky, which must
also have thrown him in the mud, for his
coat was badly dehled by dirt. Soon after
wards he recovered his usual composure, and
leaning against the bar, received his visitors
with that imperturbable suavity and dignIted
decorum for which he is noted. What a Gu
rious yarabond! When he was last in jail
in San Francisco, we called upon the Major
and asked him If he were not aware that one
half Of the ingenuity and intellect which he
expended to win a dishonest and dangerous
livelihood would, properly directed, ensure
him a respectable and legitimate competency?
The Major stood erect, struck an attitude,
cast his eyes upwards, slowly brought his
hand to his forehead, tapping which, he slow
" said: "You are right am insane, and
in justice, ought rather to be in Stockton
than in this CELL" We havn't heard upon
what terms with its landlord the Major has
been induced to hold his levees in the saloon
named.

danger of trouble on the Truckee meadows,
between the owners Of ranches in that yicin-
ity and jumpers. tits rumored that party
Of eleven men left this city night before last
for the purpose of jumping the land Of the

cabin. The other night Il party OF jumpers
erected a cabin within one hundred yards Of
the residence cf one of the settlers. When
day dawned and the settlers discovered this
device of the enemy, musS ensued between
them and the jumpers. The latter came oil
second-best and the settlers tore down and
dragged away the offending structure. The
settlers are banding together to defend their
rights.-Enterprise.

MES, located on FL Dorado Canon, CONSOLE

der the name of the Pennsylvania and New

Yesterday they commenced a shaft II by II

Coon ORDER--Within the past two
months our community has been remarka-
bly, peaeeable, and We have had scarcely
case of shooting OF serious lighting to record,
until the affray which occurred between two
negroes on last Tuesday. Last fall, at one
time, not week elapsed that bloodshed,
robbery or murder did not take place in some
shape or other, and, indeed, such occurrences
became so frequent that they excited scarce
" any remark. Whether this change in the
order of our city Is caused by the departure
of desperadOeS, or the dull times usual here
during the winter, it certainly has taken
place, and it is to be hoped that it will be of
long continuance.-Uni0R.
The MOUNT HoPE.-This mine contains
three thousand feet, and is situated in Gold
Hill district near the Divide. Six shafts
have been sunk upon the claim, and the one
which is now being worked is one hundred
and twenty feet deep. From the bottom Of
this shaft q drift has been rnn toward the
east for a distance of one hundred and fifty
feet, and the work upon it is going on yigor-
Ously. A day or two ago some good looking
quartz was struck in this drift, but it was
only foot in width, and instead of being
ledge was evidently spur of but little value.
It is said, however, that good rock was struck
In one of the shafts, but that nothing has
been done toward developing it.-Unioa.

ing appreciated, it has been long used as a

matter, have referred it, which is tanta-
mount to saying that they have deferred the
matter.

enstein-" pretty fellows under arrest

JUSTICE NINE The Nevada Company,
on the Justice lead, have just had 100 tons OF
their ore crushed at the Marysville Mil, and
obtained 2,9ll 46-l00 ounces of bullion,
worth S8,727 IS. This is at the rate Of over
SS7 per ton, and is an excellent yield. We
presume they will now be able to furnish
regular supplies Of ore to the mills.
