friend Beachey, have no hesitation in say
ing that these mines are good and perma-
nent The gold is on the coarse order, and
of good quality. 1t is taken readily at Sl8
per ounce by traders. There are only two
traders here at present, and four miners,
with as good an appetite as 1 have, would
eat them out in one month.
There are certain parties who went back
from here to Walla Walla, and from what
can learn from people coming in, they are
giving very discouraging account of the
country. Now, to my certain knowledge,
those parties never stuck pick into the
ground while they were here in fact, they
are not on the work-at least, never knew
them to work, and I happen to have known
them for some time"
James Grow, writing to James Hays, un-
der date May oath, says "The mines are
situated on a creek, branch of the Koote-
mai river. should judge there are about
$50 or 200 miners in and around this part
of the country, the most of them engaged
in opening claims, and few at work in the
bank, making from Sc to $40 per day. The
gold is coarse and of fine quality. x
As to the country as mining country am
not prepared to say, as it will take from four
to six weeks to develop that fact"

A Supposed Cancer Cured.

Messrs A. L. ScovilI & Co.-Gents-Mr. Elisha
Bradley of Bath county, Kentucky, had on his hand
a very bad swelling which he thought incurable. He
also had on his cheek bone what he supposed to be
Cancer, and could obtain no relief until he used DR.
Bakers Pain Panacea, which cured him of that dis
ease, and also the swelling on his hand This medi-
cine is so much thought of that every family in our
neghborhood keep it constantly on hand. In fact
it is the best medicine for the diseases it is RECON-

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-One hundred
and eighty-one prisoners were brought
here from Sandy Hook, Md. They say
that one Of the plumber trains was over
taken near Smokers Gap by portion
Of the pursuing force under Crook. A
fight Immediately followed, but to pre-
vent the train from falling into our
hands they destroyed itby FIRE and re-
treated, leaving the transfers and 9th
ers at the mercy Of our force.
A letter was received by an officer at
Sandy Hook stating that many stragglers
from the retreating rebel force had come
into that place and surrendered them
selves.
The men we're worn down by rapid
marching, and many of them barefooted
and their clothes torn to tatters.
The Evening Star learns from a for
mer citizen OF Madison county, Va, who
has been sojourning for sometime in
Fairfax county, that he has reliable in
formation showing that the rebels met
with 80 many mishaps in getting away
with their plumber from Maryland that
what they have managed TO keep will
hardly pay them for their trouble.
