Peace or War. that's the Question!
There are thousands, aye, tens of thou
sands, of persons in our land who are desir-
GUS Of having peace, but they are so afflicted
with the various diseases to which flesh is
heir, that there is an incessant war going
on within on account of the impure state of
their blood, that they have no peace day or
night. Their earnest inquiry is, '1s there
no balm in Gilead-no physician there?"
Yes, yes! Use PINKERToN's WAHoo AND
CALlsAYA BrrrERs, and you will soon find
reliet and possess Il complete victory over
your troubled and diseased constitution.
We speak thus confidently, because we have
tried them, and the result in our case was
most glorious. Blessed be these Bitters!
Indeed they are 'peace-makers." Remem-

FROM ALTURAs.

A friend handed us letter received few
days ago from an acquaintance living at
Rocky Bar. The following extracts may be
of some general interest:
In my last letter promised / would try
and post you on this camp and the mines in
this section First, the snow is about two
feet deep, consequently it is pretty cold and
nearly all the arastras, except those that are
housed, have stopped running, which makes
money rather scarce; with that exception
hear of no complaint, and the working ofthe
hedges seems to go along as though nothing
had happened. Cartee, Gates & Co.'s mill
run through one hundred and forty-four tons
of rock from thesAda Elmore, and had ayield
of sixty-fve dollars to the ton. You may
consider that very poor over in Idaho city,
since the Gambrinus mill started, but you
must recollect that this rock has been picked
and culled and the best of it ground in an
arastra. Messrs. Cartee Il Co. are desirous
of taking another contract, if the trustees see
fit to give it to them. The Idaho Company's
mill start to crushing in very few days
They have considerable rock already out and
plenty more in their ledge. They still keep
up their quarrel with the Emmett Company
contending that that company is on thell
ledge It is very fine one, and looks better
as it is developed.
The Comstock is being worked, and bids
fair to be as extensive as any of the Washet
or Mexico mines.
The Confederate Star ledge is looking al

aSrMpDE DIvIsloN.-A Southern planter
named P, pretty we'll to do in the world
now, was, some twenty years ago, poor boy
ON the eastern shore of Maryland. Cne of
the strongest and most marked traits of his
character, was an inordinate love of money.
This, however, is the characteristic of the
people in them dggins, where they practice
askinning strangers in brisk seasons and skim
ming one another when times are dull

Here was chance-a glorious chance

the beautiful and unsophisticated daughter
ofthe Judge with all his possessions. Strange
to say, for he was as uncouth a looking cut
as ever went unlocked, his suit prospered anc
they were married.
The honeymoon passed off as all other hon

vail of your county. understand that Miller,
Smith and Cummins will support the measure

A Memorial to Congress for Branch Mint
and Assay Office, to be established at Boise
Ecity, has passed both houses.
| The Special Contract Bill has passed both
4 Houses, and now only awaits the signature OF
the Governor to become law. There are
rumors that his Excellency will veto the bill !
i if SO, the bill will pass the Council over bis
head by unanimous vote The House will
also pass the bill, if vetoed, with only one OF
1.-TWO dissenting votes.
A bill has also passed both houses, perma.
nently locating the county seat of AlturaI
county at Rocky Bar.
4 Mr.. Dilley has introduced very stringen
lbil in the Council, to punish persons TO
Eaduterating gold dust. The bill meets witt
1great favor, and will pass both houses witt
'Elittle or no opposition
Numerous bills have been introduced

with much faver, particularly from certai
Councilman residing in these parts.
The members are all very busy, and anz
Eions to get through with their labOrs an
