| FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN DIXIE.--On authority
of leading Richmond papers, the telegraph in
formed us that that the Confederate Treasury,
for the first time in its history, was without a
dollar to pay anybody" Coming from Coned-
crate source many people will believe 1t who
would otherwise have denounced the statement
as another Abolition lie " trick of Lin
coin telegraph agents
There is little doubt that the melancholy an
nouncement contains too much truth. In sub
sanitation of the rebel statement we publish the
following from the New York Tribune of May
l4th in regard to prices in Dixie:
vigorous stroke Of finance recently re-
sorted to by Secretary Memminger, with the
sanction of the Confederate President and Con-
gress, with intent to restore the falterng credit
of the concern and bring down prices to Il nat
ural and healthy level. The act provided tor
speedy funding of the Confederate Treasury
Notes is 4 r cent. stock, and imposed tax OF
SO p cent. all the notes that should remain
unfunded on the first of Arril. If any should
remain untunded at the close OF the year, they
were taxed one hundred per cent.-in other words,
wiped out-which is just the ncatest and most
thorough - new way to pay old debts yet IN
vented by man, and beats old fashioned repudia-
ton out of sight These measures, it was fond
| ly calculated, were to render Confederate money
about equal to Greenbacks, and so reduce prices

This calculation appears to have utterly failed.
young man who escaped from Richmond on
the 2Sth ult., ten days ago, reports to the North
american (Philn.) the following prices ruling
| in the rebel capital when he left it;
Flour $3.50 T. Dbl Calico, Sl5 p yard Corn
$50 = bushcl Corn Meal, 81 y b Boots,
$500 Z pair Sugar, SIS z Ii; Coffee, SIS z
ID Common Whisky, $3.50 p gallon; Green
backs, SIS for 81 Gold, S28 for 81.
The pay of a rebel soldier is $ll per month 3;
so that his wages for four months would very
nearly purchase pound each of coffee and sugar
and yard of calico. Three gears pay would
buy his family a barrel Of flour yard of calico
a pound of coffee, and almost pound of sugar.
years pay would very nearly purchase agallon
of common whisky, and two years wages would
almost pay for pair of boots. In short almost
anything might be bought with Confederate
soldiers pay, provided you don't want too much

Our Standard.Bearers,

To-day we raise the names of Abraham Lincoln
and Andrew johnson, the Nations choice for
President and Vice President, to the head of our
columns. True, they have occupied that position
as preference, subject to the action of the
Union National Convention for months, and we
rejoice at the result. The Convention which
placed them before the people, almost without
dissenting voice, was composed of hundreds of
the ablest statesmen and truest patriots of the
northern, middle and border States. No jangling
characterized their deliberations, but when the
time for action came with one united voice that
vast assemblage declared that Abraham Lincoln
and Andrew Johnson were the preference of THE
PEOPLE for the highest positions which the coun-
try can bestow. No wonder the falsely-named
u Democracy" of the day makes wry faces over
the action of the Baltimore Convention it's
work was done with a unanimity of feeling and
purpose unparalleled in American history
Southern traitors and their incpient allies in the
North may rant and howl, but the decree has
gone forth, and will be ratified by patriotic,
Union-loving people at the ballot-box in Novem-
Der.
Abraham Lincoln took his seat as Chief Mag
strate of the Nation at time when its exist
encc was imperiled by treason in every Depart
ment of the Government, and during three years
of intestine war has managed the affairs of State
with frmness, honesty and patriotism. Appre-
ciating the services of faithful servant. he is
now called by the loyal people of the country to
finish the work begun and in the manner indica-
ted by him. There is no fear of the result :;
Abraham Lincoln, in the good providence of
God, will be his own successor.
The selection of Andrew johnson, of Tennes-
see, for Vice President we believe to have been
m equally just, wise and patriotic act, Firm in
his fidelity to the Union though surrounded by a
traitorous people and kindred, it is proper that
his claim should be acknowledged if for no other
reason than out of thankfuness for the aid
which he and his loyal co-workcrs in the Border
States have afforded the Nation during three
years of rebellion. True patriots know no North
nor South in the present issue, and will vote ac-
cordIngly.

WEATHER IrEMs.-Every day fer the past week
we have been visited by cold, dsagreeablc winds,
better calculated for March than June. Two
nights during that time thin ice has formed in
different localities of the Basin This is a
weather freak heretofore unknown in June, and
most decidedly iii-timed. Stoves glorious

remain permanent fixtures during the season.
The Virginia City and Gold Hill papers of last
Saturday relate that considerable fall OF snow
occurred in that section the night before, and
the mountain-tops in every direction were white.
Further East heavy rains have occurred. Some
two weeks since n destructive food swept over
the town of Denver. Colorado Territory. caused
BY sudden rise in Cherry creek and the river

place was inundated. c. i. llanes, late Secre-
tary Of the Territory, was among the drowned.
The ranches along the line OF Cherry creek an0
the Platte sustained immense injury in the loss
Of live stock. \ drove of 1900 sheep were
swept entirely of; hundreds of cattle and horses

citizens of Trinity, asking that a detachment of
soldiers be sent to Trinity river for the better
protection of settlers, and which, as our people
are already aware, was successful. His letter
tells US that in the lower part of the Humboldt
district the Indians have already given them
selves up, while the Redwoods and Grouse creek
Indians are being hunted with vigor. The lower

and others rather think as 90 it is none of their

MOVED IS.-Williams & Co. moved their stock
of goods to the store on Monday. 1t is
larger than the old one, which will afford ample
show room for the new assortment shortly to ar
rive. The place is the best lighted and the
most cheerful looking store room we have seen
in the mountains, and the proprietors intend to
increase their business by selling goods cheaper
than ever. Quick sales and small profits will be
their motto in future. We nearly forgot to say
that the new place OF business was duly installed
on Wednesday nightamid the popping of cham
payne bottles, and many were there to see.
