10000 DOLLARS REWARD

| IN is estimated that $4,000 persons die annu-
i ally in the United States with consumption,
and Professor Ebcriy says, that Il vast number
of these could be saved by the timely use OF
some proper remedy.
DIR, HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root Of
the disease At ONCE, and such is its speedy eff
icct, that any one using it freely, according to
directions for twenty fear or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn t and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by a
single dose, and broken ND in q few hours time.

GUERRILLA" RUMoRs.

II has been known, for some time past
that bands of men are assembled IN the
mountains of California, and on the plains
east of US, whose movements JUSTIFY
suspicion that they are contemplating
mischief. The Sacramento UnioH Of yes
terday says:
Il WAS stated Yesterday in town that Dan.
Showalter, with band Of outlaws, was on
our southern border. Such reports often
obtain currency when they have NJ real toun-
dation, but the loyal people Of the State will
do well TO be yigilant and active.
That such bands are to-day hidden
away in unfrequsnted fastnssses in this
Territory is established beyond doubt.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the quiet
organization of our Home Guard, and its
arming and equipment in the most ser
viceable manner has been a wise and ne
cesSary precau.ion. Several hundred
stand Of the finest arms and sun cheney
OF ammunition are now in the hands OF
reliable men in this county, and Dan.
Showalter, "or any other man" in his
line of business can trot along up this
way whenever he feels in the mood. Cit
liens who have been surprised at the
appearance of so many of our townsmen
EARNED and equipped" as the law directs,
within the past few days viii now per-
ceive the object.

Quartz NILLs.-If il makes no difference
as 70 how large an Institution constitutes
quartz mill, we may count upon some dozens
of such establishments within the limits OF
the CITY. A few months since, the increaS.
ing hard times drove many to the employ
ment OF crushing rock in hand mortarS for
living. It was found to be relief from the
pressure of empty stomachs and empty
purSus and druggists mortars became In
great demand, rs the supply became exhaust
cd, quicksilver TASKS, with the upper part
cut Oh, were found to be very good substi-
tute, and piece Of drill steel answered for
pestle. Success and ambition suggested an
Improvement 10 these, and miniature quartz
mills, with from two 20 four stamps, weigh
ing from twenty to sixty pounds, were put up,
capable of working from ten to fifty pounds
Of rock per stamp per day, turned by hand
power, sometimes BY one man, and some
times by two. To many Of these changes
have been made OF quite an important char
acter, but whether they are improvements or
not remains TO be seen. From the simple
hand mortar, the mills have grown TO be quite
respectable and scientific establishments, ad.
ding pans, patio and tubs, and appear to be
prepared to work all classes Of ores, in
complete manner. One of these, erected BY
MesSrs, johnson & Samelson, is very cnm-
plete aud effective i'll its operations. II has
four amps, OF sixty pounds each, raised d.
rectly By cams. The whole is neatly con-
s,ructed, and works very easily and rapidly,
crushing about four hundred pounds day.
A tub mas beea attached for amalgamating,
the mullers or precipitators being turned by
Il belt connected with the cam shaft. The
am.slsamatiug tub is on the Veatch principle,
about four feet IN diameter, with an iron bot
tom; it sets over a tire place, having chin
new Tor draft The pulp is thus heated with
strong brine. and stirred with revolving
copper plates, precipitatiug the dissolved
chloride Of silver. The copper plates soon
dissolve. and must be replaced every few days
by new ones. The process is rather expen-
sive but complere.-RsreiLe.

THE CONDITION OF VIRolHIA.-Here at
the North we can have hardly conception
Of the desnlation accomplished BY the war.
Only in such quarters as central and western
Tennessee, western Mississippi, southwestern
Missouri, northwestern Georgia, and above
all, In eastern Virginia, have they drained
the cup of bitterness to the dregs. Not
alone in the loss Of their white population
the whole South has probably suffered alike
in this respect. Not alone ia the loss Of ne.
gro laborers, who have invariably decamped
whenever they had an opportunity to make
their escape fro n the patriarchal" home
stead. But to the disappearance of both the
white and the black elements Of population
must be added TO the total disappearance of
landmarks OF every kind - fences, trees,
houses, &C.; while, at the same time, county
and other records have been DESTROYED by
wholesale, while many persons who could
bear witness to former ownership have been
swept away. The restoration Of peace will
come with old neighbors who survive being
hundreds and thousands of miles apart; and
when it is borne in mind how sparsely the
southern country was populated before it
plunged madly into war, this consideration
will acquire all the more force. The States
in insurrection will have to be colonized
anew. Millions OF men, women and children
from the North wilt be urgently required to
re-settle the abandoned plantations, rebuild
the railroads, and restore the domestic in.
dustry which war has all but annihilRted.-

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENTS. - Are you a
Peace Democrat? Then vote for the candi-
date Of the Peace Platform. That, you
know, decides the course of the party which
adopts it as their charter and programme.
The views Of the candidate amount To but lit.
tie. He will be obliged to follow the bill Of
fare his party has decided upon. Are you
War Democrat9 Then vote for Mcclellan,
who in his last speech avowed himself IN ia
yor of suppressins the rebellion by earnest,
determined war. The platform, you know
amounts to nothing in deciding the course Of
the party that wins upon it. It is merely a
trap to catch votes and win the election.
And so, wherever Mcclellan is popular, the
argument will be, Mcclellan. Wherever the
peace sentiment is stronger than the per-
sonal, or military, or party admiration tor
him, the argument will be, the Peace Plat
form. This is sorry and beggarly position
to be held BY n once great, bold, and war
party, which went for annexins all creation.
