BRICKS AND BULLION. -There was quite an
arrival of bricks and bullion from the interior
on Saturday night. Owyhee, Boise Basin,
kootenai and John Days mines were each
represented with their distinct features of
bricks; unmixed, and the color was easily
distinguishable. The Kootenai dust makes a
very handsome brick, but the finest brick of
all, the prettiest gold, was one worth So ,Oo5.-

from the results of crushing Of ore out of
buckle sein of the RockfelIow lode. Had
we the mint in operation here now. at least
100000 worth of bullion would be depos-
tied within the next twelve hours for coinage.
AS it is, there is not sufficient coin to buy the
bullion offered, and bricks are EXCHANGED for
merchandise in numerous instances, to very
large amounts. The city is crowded with
merchants, miners, and traders from the min
eral districts:
Low WATER.-Capt Wolf, OF the O. S. N.
Co.'s steamer Wilson G.. Hunt. informs ms
that the stage of water in the Columbia was
less on Saturday than he has observed for
several years. A large rock near the mouth
of Sandy stood out very prominently, that
has not been seen bit twice before in seven
years. This is most likely the result of a
cold snap in the upper country, which has
firmly concealed some of the smaller tribu

rHE ALABAMA, MONITOR. AND EMPIRE.

h THE ALABAMA; MONITOR; AND EMPIRE.
| This lode Alabama somewhat resembles
the Morning Star. The rock is of very fine
quality, but the lead is narrow, not exceed
ing eighteen inches but, as in the Morning
Star, it requires some development, when it
may turn out very extensive ledge Here
may mention that some ten or fifteen lodges
were passed over, no persons being at work
upon them, as the snow was at least ten
inches deep on the mountain. All those
lodges have assessments paid or worked up
On them. Many of them are very fair speci-
mems of quartz lodges. A little to the west
of the Monitor, is the Empire. This ledge is
being developed by Col. FOCUS. A shaft OF
about twenty feet has been sunk upon it,
and some very fine ore is being taken out /
paid particular attention to this lode, as it is
somewhat better developed than any ledge in
this immediate vicinity, excepting the Morn
ing Star, War Eagle and Gro Elmo. l find
that the ledge, at the surface, is about two
feet wide. well defined, and regular in its
course and dip, although the ledge does not
appear to have any regular or perfect casing.
CASINOS DE Lodges.
This casing, which the scientific miner al
ways places high value upon, is partially
wanting in nearly all the lodges in this dis
trict. However, this clay which separates
the ore from the wall rock, is often wanting
in many of the Mexican and Peruvian lodges,
and is not found in many of the best leads in
Nevada. In two of the greatest silver lodges |
of Mexico, the ledge itself and the wall rock
were so close that fine knife could not be
forced between them, and yet at depth of
seventy feet the casing became well defined,
and the polished surface of the ledge assum-
ed more rugged appearance. The Empire
is what may be denominated in this manner,
a representative ledge, The ore is full of
rich black sulphuret, and full of very hand
some stalactites, or crystals. A large quar-
tity of ore is saved out of the shaft, and may
be considered as the best evidence of the
richness of these lodges.

our notions of comfort So, Thomas and
myself held a council OF war, wherein it was
determined, in the language of the Sec'y, to
make straight shoot for the Copenhagen,
about mile distant An infant bottle of
good Scheidham rewarded US foroGr pains.
The Copenhagen is a gold and silver ledge,
about two inches wide, and very rich, being
worth two dollars per pound. The vein is
Embedded in the so1d granite, and costs con-
siderably to get it out, yet it pays well. The
shaft is twenty feet deep Another spur of
equal richness intersects this lead at right
angles, and innumerable small leads, or spurs
cross each other in this quarter in every d.
rection.
Night now coming en-, we were warned by
the approach of a solid appetite, to chase
the twilight hours with flying feet" SO wei
deferred our visit to the Orc Fino and other
lodges until another day, when we intend to
forward our Investigations to the Idaho
w oRLD, and the rest of mankind.

The WAR EAGLE MoUNrAIN.

From the Morning Star, we took our de-
parture up towards the War Eagle Mountain
one of the highest and largest mountains
in this quarter. It lies southwest of Ruby
city and Silver city, about three miles. The
Morning Star lode is but quarter of a mile
from Ruby city, in the same direction. 1t
would be impossible for me to give anything
like description of the many lodges which
intervene between those two points. I will
mention but a few, and as they may be set
down as representative lodges for the district
no individual can murmur because his par
ticular ledge may not be mentioned.
In order to satisfy myself at once, having
learned that there was at least thirty distinct
lodges running parallel to each other, within
the space of about two miles, took to the
mountain on foot, and had reason to regret
it soon as in sfanking a tremendous rock,
made mis-step and rolled down about fifty
feet, smashing a bottle of soda water"
which we placed high value upon. NY
Missouri guide was unconsolable at the loss,
but it was in vain; so we tramped EDWARDS
Ind upwards until we came to the Alabama
ode. Here we halted, and began our invest
cations.

owyhee Correspondence.
RUBY Cry, Nov. 24th, 1864.

Ed. WcRLD-Your correspondent has beer
out among. the leads" as the quartz lodei
are denominated here, and gives this deliber.
ate account of the impression made upon bis
mind in reference to them.
We were up early on Monday morning,
weather fine, and everything indicating a
pleasant trip; chose number-one cicerone
and started up the Jordan creek. In ten
minutes arrived at Moores mill and found
everything IN working order. The mill is
ten-stamper, and crushessabout ten tons per
day. large heap of ore from the Orc Elmo
probably one hundred tons, is on hand at
the mill, and produces from one hundred to
one thousand dollars per ton. Mr. Marion
Moore has taken with him the frs fruits of
Owyhee, and the silver stream will continue
to increase, and run regularly henceforth
THE MORNING STAR.
Within one hundred yards of the mill, is
the famous Morning Star quartz lode. This
ledge was one of the first struck in this camp.
It was discovered by some Norwegians and
sold to the present proprietors for FIVE dollars
per foot Moore, Logan & Co. being the purcha-
sers. They have expended large sums in de-
veloping the ledge, and are amply rewarded
for their perseverance. Fifty tons of ore
from this lode have been crushed, with fat
,ering success. [ am authorized on good |
to state that the result of the expe-
'iment was such, that the expenses heretofore
n prospecting the lode, was paid up from
his fifty tons, and small dividend declared.
rhe lead at the surface, is about six or eight
inches wide, and now, at a depth of fifty feet,
he lead is between three and four feet wide,
md much better and richer ore is being taken
ut. Beyond the discovery claims, am not
ertain whether the lead has been struck:
aany other parties having extensions on this
ode, insist that they have struck it 5; if SO,
ne ledge extends, TO my own knowledge, a
istance of three miles.
| had frequently heard, when was last in
his vicinity, March, 1861 that all the
edges in Owyhee were of a very unreliable
haracter, and among the number so CLASH
ed, the Morning Star was particularly y
AIMED. The proprietors, to whose Judgment
paid due respect, are now firmly c, n inc d
nat this is the richest quartz mining country
n this coast, not excepting any portion of
eyada. The beauty of the lodes in this
Immediate vicinity is, that there is scarcelyI
ny base metals in the ore. This is pecul-
lrly SO in the Morning Star lode 1t en- I
ances the value of the lead almost doubly. !

The Union Candidate For Congress,

In this number will be found an article
written for the Press, headed with the name
Of JOHN LYNCH, the Union candidate for
Congress in this District-the original "Star
in the East" district of New England.
We thank the writer who is one of the
most high-minded, straightforward and can
did men of the County of Cumberland-for
this just tribute to real worth we thank him
not only in our own behalf, but also In behalf
of the people OF the District Comparatively
a stranger in the district as we are, We have
not felt competent to go into details as we
would, and as our correspondent has, in rela-
ton to Mr.. Lynch's early history and manly
progress in life. And now that this has been
done, and done so well and in such good taste,
we feel as our correspondent has in substance
intimated, that 1t was not needed to make the
people think well OF our candidate, for he is
gentleman whom the breath of scandal has
never assailed, against whom no word of dis
arrangement has ever been uttered, who has
no sore parts needing appliances to make him
presentable as a candidate for the people's suf
of industry, of incorruptible integrity and of
public appreciation, should be held up for the
encouragement Of boys now struggling, per-
haps with manly efforts, against adverse cir
cumstances, and as encouragement to still
greater effort and to unflagging and indomit-
able energy for the attainment of the objects
of laudable ambition.
Our correspondent has left out of sight Mr..
Lynch's legislative experience, and the evil
d.ns es he has already furnished in that expert
ence, of his peculiar fitness for the higher leg
islative duties which his fellow-citizens are
about to impose upon him. Mr.. l.. has twice
represented this city in the state legislature;
in 1862 aud again 10 1854. The session OF go
was noted for the large number Of prominent
politicians and influential men 1t contained;
elected during the era of good feeling which
sprung up soon after the Inauguration of the
war by the rebels, and in that circle John
Lynch was found by no means an inferior or
inefficient member. His clear comprehension
Of all business matters, his logical mind, his
straight forward habits enabled him to take
position at once as one Of the able men Of the
House, while his skill as ready and sharp
debater not only gave him great strength in
favor Of any cause which he espoused, but
made him a formidable opponent. Though in
no ordinary sense speech maker Mr.. Lynch
has the faculty Of stating his points with great
clearness and precision, OF defending them
with logical force, and of meeting objections
with consummate skill, and though his speech
es will never possess much of the Bunkum
element, they will be found well-timed, well.
worded. and never ending in beating tie emp
ty air.
1t is with no ordinary pleasure that we CON-
mend Mr.. Lynch to the attention of the I'm
ion people ofthe first District. He viii worth
iy represent them, and being of the people,
Identified with them and having a common in-
crest with them to promote, he will be found
able, trusty aud judicious Representa-

EIt is undoubtedly for the interest of paper
manufacturers to keep the price Of paper down
to the lowest paying figures. The high price of
paper will reduce the demand, by driving news
papers that are not on firm basis from the
field, SO that ultimately the purchaser will be
able to dictate terms to the manufacturer. The
tendency of high prices is to lessen consump-
ton and increase supply, which soon turns the
scale and prices come down.
. The New York World, professedly DEM
ocratc paper, lays down as a cardinal principle
OF Democracy 'that neither Congress, nor the
executive, nor the ballot Dor, has any power not
given by the Constitution. - It seems 10 us
modern Democracy puts the cart before the
horse. We thought the ballot-box formed,
vitalized and gave power to the Constitution
and had power to change it at will; but modern
Democracy has exalted this creature of the peo-
pie above its creator.
