IRIS well authenticated fact that.

IT is well authenticated fact that.
when Mcclellan was approaching Rich
mond, the portable material of the reb-
el government was packed ready to
seek safety elsewhere. But when the
Republicans withdrew McDowell's and
Banks corps from Mcclellan to sup
ply Fremont with a useless command,
JEFF. Davis boastingly announced that
he ''could maintain the war in Virginia
for twenty years" We don't think he
can; but he has maintained it so far by
the aid Of his Republican allies, who
have stolen the national livery to serve
the rebellion in" Instead of taking
Richmond, they have given him Fred

partment" has not been heard of since

Reasons FOR THE EGGs IN THE MARES
NEsrs.-A great many honest aud incredulous
persons, says the Carlinville (Illinois) Specta>
tor, seem to think there were no eggs in the
great mares nests recently discovered in the
vicinity of Johnsons Island and Sandusky,
but we are happy to say to loyal community
that eggs have been discovered, and that We
shall silence forever the sympathisers who say
to the contrary, by asserting that they are
copperheads. We now produce, in order, o
few facts that would convince R. w. Emerson
or Macmillan that there were eggs:
I. First, then, Vaandigham was fraudu-
lently defeated in Ohio, and it was necessary
to justify the government" by proving him a
traitor, ergo be got up conspiracy in Canada
II. Stanton is a candidate for President,
and it was important that be should do some
Thing desperate-such for instance as rising
at O'Clock at night in bis shirt tail"
III. +. B. Washburne is candidate for
next Speaker of the House, and it is necessary
TO show that be has done something for his
country, as for Instance, working for the great
Illinois ship canal. But in order to have the
value of these services properly appreciated, it
is essential to prove that the work is public
necessity, and so we have projected invasion
of northern cities through the Weand Canal
and -'nary"a Mississippi tin clad to protect
them.
" A number of shoddy contractors are
building Eastwood Tafts to by armed with tin
whistles and pop guns for the defense of north
ern cities, and if We did not have an invasion
occasionally people might think that such pro-
tections we're unnecessary.
V. After the election 10 Ohio washer
woman who was q Vallan1ighammer raised
cent IA piece" on washing, which made the
hirelings and shoddyites mad and they charged
her with being copperhead, and arrested her
as a spy and rebel
VI. That is about al there is of the great
Ohio and Canadian conspracies.

ARE THE HuMBoLDr MINES CURSED WITH
BASE METALS ?-The following extract from
letter to a gentleman in this city, says the Ma
rpsvile Appeal, was not written with any in
tent of publication but as its statements are
known TO be from man of sense and of the
highest responsibility, whose profession as an as
sayer for two years in Humboldt eutitle bis
statements to great weight, and as many of
our citizens are interested in the Humboldt
Mines our friend here has no hesitancy in put.
ting before our readers the following portion
of the private letter which be received bu,
yesterday:
There is one thing constantly urged against
this country which should be dissipated by
proper representation, and that is the prevail
ing impression Of the difficulty, or rather i'm,
possibility, of working the Humboldt rock
They say the Sheba IS enc of our best mines
but the Shebs cannot be worked BY the ordi-
nary process. And then they draw the follow
ing strange conclusion: When some cheap
and practical method is invented for reducing
the rebellious ores of Humboldt, we expect to
hear glowing accounts from that region" As
if the Sheba is a sample of all our ores! Now
the fact is that, during residence Of two years
in this country, have never seen a combina
ton of base mineral so detrimental TO reduc-
tion as exists in the Sheba mine.
The generality of our mines are easily work
ed and yield by mill process to within five to
twenty per cent of the fine assay. result as
good as that obtainad in Virginia City and
Falls mill is weekly demonstrating the fact
that We have lodges that will pay from 5000 to
S405 per ton, and turn out bars from 700 to
900 ine. Humboldt with all its disadvantages
is steadily improving slowly, it is true, for
want Of capital, but that We will soon be able
to do without.

Ii Is strange, but it has actually come TO
pass, that defence of the constitution and laws
and opposition to violations Of them, have come
to be regarded by negro manacs as equivalent
to love for Slavery.-Bttte Record
This is not fair statement of the case; but
will apply well 10 your anti-war Democrats.
Your war democrats are not troubled so much
about the defence of the constitution, although
one foot is still hanging across the fence. At
the head of your paper stands an excellent
motto:
There are only two sides to the question.
Every man must be for the United States or
against II. There can be no neutrals in this
war-oSLY PArRIors OR rRAIroRs.-S. A.
Douglas.
Follow this axiom and you will not be kept
awake Of nights about the constitution or the
negroes,-Appeal.
At the time this was said, the Re-
publicans had solemnly declared, by the
adoption of Clark's substitute for the
Crittenden Compromise, their determi-
nation to abide by the Constitution
The rebels were arming fer the
destruction of the Constitution
There were ''only two sides to the
question" Now the Republicans
are just as fully determined to destroy
the Constitution in order to destroy
slavery, as the rebels are TO destroy it
in order to perpetuatO and extend slave
ry. Both parties are fanatics, who are
making traitors of themselves over the
negro. To decent, respectable, intelli-
gent and sensible men, there are still
''only two sides to the question: ''For
the United States, or against it." and
there are really but two parties Pat
riots, or traitors The rebels, who
declare that certain States no longer
compose portion Of the United States,
are traitors the Republicans who also
declare that certain States do not now
compose a portion of the United States,
and that they shall not become members
of the United States as they formerly
were, are traitors equally with the reb-
els. Those who are for the United
States under the Constitution, as was
Douglas, are the patriots.

CoLrsA COPPER MrSEs.-The editor OF the
Coluss Suu bas been TO Ashton, the copper
opolis Of Colusa county. He says
Ashton has grown quite out Of our knowl-
edge since We were there. Houses have taken
he place of camps, and everything goes on in
regular mining town style. Messrs. Jackson
and Miller have gone 10 work on the Mary
Union, and are now taking out pay rock
fast There is now no doubt but what they
have the lode on this claim. Mr.. Miller is an
experienced copper miner, having been engaged
in it for a number of years at Lake Superior.
He was so well satisfied with the indications"
some time ago that be and Mr.. Jackson paid
$4,000 for four hundred feet and are now pros
pecting it st their own risk. Several Of the

THE resolution adopted by the demo-
cratic members Of Congress, in refer
ence to the pay of our soldiers and sail
ors, has the ring of the true metal. If
acted upon, we shall hear oftener from
headquarters of the army" and less
frequently from "Camp Chase"

a Shell in their Camp.

that their brave soldiers and sailors who
have entered the army and navy
for the preservation of the Union,
should receive the amount of pay
promised them; but the abolition
officials, who are plundering the peo-
pie of greenbacks and the gov
ernment of bonds, are terribly vexed at
the Democratic proposition to pay our
officers and soldiers the amount prom
ised them when they enlisted.
The pay Of private in the army is
thirteen dollars per month. In green
backs this amounts to seven or eight
dollars. Seeing this injustice to our
brave soldiers and sailors, the Democ-
racy propose to remedy it, by paying
them the amount agreed upon in coin,
good old fashioned democratic mint
drops or its equivalent, (lf that can be
aseertained) in the abolition currency of
the country. The abolition journals
speak of this proposition as ''treasona-
ble," as an "effort to make capital
against the administration" and that
the movement is headed by James
Brooks, of the New York Express, who
has chronic hatred of the administra-
tion and the war for the Union, and
may be mildly characterized as pro-
slavery fanatic" Ask one of these
republican shoddy patriots to receive
this abolition currency at the rate
soldiers are obliged to receive
it, and he would consider you fanatic
Or quite as mean as one. While
the Legislature refuses to receive them
at par in payment Of their services, and
county and State officers refuse to re-
ceiye them at par, in payment of their
salaries, they cry traitor" to those
who propose that the small pittance due
the soldier, if paid in greenbacks, shall
be at their marketable value. "Pay-
able in gold coin," is the condition
precedent upon which a republican
merchant will sell bill of goods, but
he will call you ''traitor'' if you think
the soldier should receive the small
amount of his wages in coin or its equiv
alent 1t is true test of the patriot
Ism of the Republican party, and it has
proved them ''shoddy." According to
this Republican argument, the army
will be guilty of treason, if they prefer
to receive their pay in gold coin or its
equivalent in preference to greenbacks
at par.
The following is the action taken by
the democratic and conservative mem
bers OF Congress, on this subject:
WHEREAS God or silver is paid to our Min
listers, Consuls and ambassadors representing
the nation in foreign countries, and gold and
silver are received from people at Custom
Houses in payment of duties; and whereas,
people are taxed 10 pay capitalists their inter
est in specie on their investments in the na-
tional debt; therefore
Resolred, That officers, soldiers and sailors
in the army aud navy should be paid in gold
and silver, or their equivalents.
Reeolped That the chairman of this meeting
be instructed to prepare amendments to the
Army and Navy bills to this effect,
The following resolution from the
committee appointed to consult upon
political matters likely to come before
Congress was likewise adopted:
Resolred, That the Presidents proclamation
of December 8, 1868. is inexpedent, revolu-
tionary and unconstitutional, and therefore
disapproyed.
