THE GREAT Snow SToR9.-The Rocky
Mountain Ne,cs of December 18th contains
the following about the snow storm which
has almost entirely stopped our Overland
Mail communications Our Leavenworth
and St. Joseph exchanges are filed with ac-
counts Of great snow storm that occurred
there on the 10th, 18th and 18th inst. Snow
continued to fall for three days, and the wind
drifted it very badly. At teavenworth on
the 18th it was Is inches deep and still COM
ing. At St. Joseph, it seems to have been
more severe. The snow lay from fifteen to
eighteen inches deep on the level and the
drifts varied from four to eight feet in depth.
All the trains coming west on the Hannibal
and St. Joseph Road were blockaded. and no
trains were going out in any direction: In
consequence the mails were stopped, and bu-
siness pretty much suspended.

The Fire and Loss of Life in Santia-
go, Chile.

The Panama Star and Herald of January
I'd, says: The steamer America, Capt.
Morton, of NJ. o. Roberts New York and
San Francisco line, which sailed from
New York on the 30th of Oct, arrived
here on the forenoon of the LIST instant.
The America is nine days and five hours
from Valparaiso, and brings from that
place the sad news that on the l4th of
December the Cathedral in Santiago, the
capital of Chile, had caught fire by the
explosion of gas-pipe during the cele-
bration of IN Episcopal High Mass, whilst
the building was densely crowded with
human beings. When the alarm of fire
was given the people rushed to the doors,
which, opening inside, were soon closed
by the press, and all cgress prevented.
The interior of the building was decorated
with light, infiammable ornaments, which
caused the flames to spread rapidly. The
roof, which was of wood, soon fell in,
burying the mass of beings beneath it.
Some 1850 dead bodies, mostly ladies and
children, had been recovered from the
ruins.
As we have no direct advices from VAL
paraiso, we cannot vouch for the accuracy
Of the above. The news was brought by
Captain Morton, of the America, who
learned the particulars fnom letter from
Santiago, received by one of his passen-
gers.
The South American mail steamer.
which reached Panama January 9Th, with
$9lS,000 in treasure for England, brings
confirmation of the above, stating the
number killed at 1000. The Cathedral
contained 1000 lights from some of which
the fire communicated to the drapery of
the gigantic columns and pasteboard de-
vices. In an instant n sheet of flame
rushed along the festoons to the roof, and
Immediately spread all over the building.
The people rushed to the principal door,
which was soon blocked up. Most of the
men escaped by the sacristy and inside
doors. But few of the ministers escaped.
The lights suspended so plentifully from
the roof poured rain of liquid fire on the
people below, and in less than fifteen min
utes over 1000 persons persisted.

OVERLAND MAIL AT SALT LAKE.-A
telegram from Salt Lake, dated January
18th, says that no Eastern mails had been
received for six days until that evening.
Three bags for San Francisco, three for
Sacramento, four for Virginia and three
for Carson, have Just been started west ;
twenty-seven sacks are to arrive from the
East tomorrow. Travellers who arrived
by mail stage fully exonerate the Mail
Company from all blame. The severe
weather is the cause of the delay. A tel
egram from Fort Kearney to-day reports
that the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail
road has been blockaded with snow for
the past two weeks, during which there
were no mails. --

The Resuit.

Don't shoot, Captain Scott-we'n come
down. We have met tie enemy and we
are his'n to some extent, as It We're. We
hoist the broad white banner Of capitula-
ton and inscribe thereon in pale letters,
the word, s"Pe-unk." The sovereign and
intelligent masses; the grave, the wise,
and the anterrihed, have taken the sand
from beIieeth our feet, and we sink grace
fully, Ike tie tail pines of the forest at
Dutch Nick's before the destroying axe OF
Hopkins, thewood-chopper. Weweaken.
Any allusion to- the past campaign will
hereafter be considered snperauous, un-
necessary and personal. In deciding the
question in the way that they have done,
the people have exercised an unquestioned
right, and We bow. in submission to the
popular will. with the grace becoming
those who cannot help themselves.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DuE.-We
are rather taken with Fred. Birse's Bank
Exchange, in Gold Hill, and we shall
never permit any one to say word
against that establishment, without con-
sidering it personal. The beautiful silver
brick which is recorded as coming from
the freemen of Gold Hill for the Sanitary
Fund, owes its dimensions, to great ex-
tent. to the big hearts of the men who
"most do congresate at the Bank Ex-
change of Fred Birge, in the town of Gold
Hill. We don't know how they voted
nor do we care-and whichever way they
did vote on other questions, the Sanitary
Fund was the best ticket they deposited
yesterday. NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS
came from the Bank Exchange patrons
to make up the sum OF $I,456 for this no
BILE tribute to the soldiers.

FEMALE MILITARY ScHooL.-A military
female school, for the education, at re-
duced cost, of the daughters of military
officers, is about being instituted in Eng
land. The object of this institution Is to
bestow upon the orphan or other daugh-
tiers of necessitous officers Of the army,
at the lowest possible cost, good,
virtuous and religious education,
in conformity with the princi-
pies and doctrines of the Church Of Eng
laud. 1t is contemplated having two or
more classes of pupils, viz: one to pay a
trihing sum (ssy Ell per amum); anoth-
er without any payment. If the funds will
admit of it; and third, of the daughters
Of officers Of competent means, who's,
payment, for superior education, shall
be slightly remunerative, so as to aid the
primary object Of the Institution.

ARIZONA MINEs.-A letter in the Aka
from New Mexico, says: The new gold mines
are situated on the ella and Francisco rivers,
about two hundred miles from Tucson, and
about the same distance from Fort Yuma /;
they range from the Colorado to the ella,
and are about l20 miles from the Pimo viii
lagos, in a northwest direction. Persons
who have been there say they are similar to
the diggings Of California in early days. The
miners are working with rockers; some dry
washing. Charles Brown passed by this
place the other day with twenty-four pounds
Of the " ore )" he gave me a small specimen
worth about Sl2; the gold is worth $40 So
per ounce. 1t is coarse gold, and the SMALL
est Of it is about like the largest Of Pleasant
Creek (SOuthern Oregon) gold. He accumu-
lated his twenty-four pounds in about two
months. Brown is an old Californian, and
says that these diggings will turn out richer
than the placer diggings of California. All
the white teamsters in the outfit have gone
there. Ifyou have any idea of trying the To-
cality, start about the first Of June.

WIrHDRAwN.-As no doubt the people
of Nevada Territory are convinced by this
time that they have no need for two United
States Senators at Washington, we most
graciously withdraw from the head of our
editorial columns the names of our favor
lite candidates for that position-Gov.
NYE and Hon. HENRY EDGERroS. In
presenting those gentlemen for the high
and honorable position, we believed, and
do yet believe, that they, above all Others
in our Territory, were the most competent
to represent this people in our National
Forum. We withdraw them for the
present, hoping, however, tina: the time is
not far distant when the people of this
Territory will cast aside their present
form ofpohtical nom existence, and assume
the proud position of State sovereign in
our National Union. When that event
transpires, We trust the names of JAMES
W. NYE and HENRY EDGERroN will be
as dear to our people as We believe they
are now.

ALL THE SANE. The sun rose this
morning in grand style-notwithstanding
the result of the election yesterday-the
snow-capped mountains doomed up grand
ly in the distance, notwithstanding the
people held an election yesterday-and
judging from appearances, it IS evident
that we 81 still live THAT is to say, all
except the CONSTITUTION, which, in COM
pany with quite number of candidates
who were son it, are non est-as it were.
The Silver Star in the great national con-
stellation is decidedly dim this morning,
and Mount Davidson looks cheerful.

CAN Toor HIS HoRN~Fsthr Bellows,
of the Sanitary Commission, can toot his
horn at the result of the sanitary ballot-
box election yesterday. That was the on
w ticket which came out victorious. In
plain truth, it was the only ticket which
won. The Constitution didn't win-the
regular ticket didn't win-nor did the
boilers win anything; and if the Anti
Constitution folks won anything, We
"can't see ii" There win have to be an
other deal-and the political cards well
shuek up"

PHILoLoGY.-A friend who claims to be
au fat in pathological matters, informs us
that the name Of the celebrated mines up
north, Boise, usually pronounced as a
monosyllable, is word of two syllables.
The correct pronunciation is: Boi=y, the
IS" having the sound of "z," and the ac-
cent being on the first syllable. The
stream, after which the country is called,
was named honor of French pioneer in
that region named Boise. By the way,
will some philologist give us the correct
pronunciation of the name of that Terri
tory up north, Idaho &c. Y. National.

The SANITARY FuND.-The people re-
sponded nobly yesterday to the call of the
Sanitary Fund Commission. Virginia
with her S,o4S votes, gave $464; being
about 10 cents to the voter. Gold Hill,
with her 1,O29 votes, gave $l,456; being
81 Al to the voter, and Silver City, with
400 votes, gave l,4OO; being 50 45 per
voter. The people are generous, but may
the devil fly away with their judgment on
governmental question.

ANOTHER Coal DISCOVERY IN BRITISH
CoLrMBIA.-A new discovery Of coal in Bril-
fish Columbia has just been verified. Its
importance may be gathered from these
facts: The land secured to the fortunate
proprietors is not less than 500 acres of min
ing ground From several seams in this,
the coal, which is Of good quality, can be
quarried. A water front Of ample extent has
been also obtained for shipping purposes,
and men seem only to be required, tools in
hand, to vastly increase our supplies. The
value of cheap fuel need not be mentioned in
connection with the bulk Of our poorer ores /;
it is the essential.
