character that is the gold deposit. 1t is a
fixed fact, permanent and comparatively
inexhaustible source of revenue. Hence
the preference which is given to this class Of
mining BY labor and capital.
We have been thus far speaking Of invest
ments Of labor and capital by those who en-
ter into the business of mining in good faith,
and with the aim and object of actually de-
yeloping the mines. Of that other class
land it is Of such, undoubtedly, that the
Transcript more especially speaks) who
" dabble in mining stocks" in the mere man
ner Of specializing upon the rise and fall OF
their stock in the market We have little to
say. They have, as the Transcript justly
states, and as we have often remarked upon
the same subject, merely entered into moth
ing less than gambling transaction; an en-
counter of wits between their ignorant and
unsophisticated selves, and those who know
every trick of the trade. They are doing
that most foolish Of all foolish things, "bet-
ting against other mems tricks" They de-
serve no more sympathy than the greenhorn
who bets at the strap-game or three card
monte. To the man, however, who feels
disposition to really take part in mining
speculation with the intent to develope if
possible paving mine, we say let such come
and see for themselves, or ascertain from
strictly reliable channels, where and how
their labor and money may be invested with
a prospect of that remuneration which has
rewarded and is daily rewarding patient toll,
and judiciOus investment in the eEaggy, bar
rem, and forbidding mountains Of Washoe.

The Tennessee Election.

The Nashville journals agree in holding
up the election in Tennessee, held on Sat
urday, March jth, like that in Louisiana,
as miserable sham. This remarkable con
currence speaks damning volumes against
the whole proceeding The Nashville I'M
ion, Abolition organ, denounces the cleo
ton, so far as that city was concerned, as
"a serious farce" The Uaioa says:
Very few Of the original Union men voted
at ALL for they had warning in advance that
frauds like those practiced by King lsham
G. Harris, and his minions, would be used.
They had denounced the rebel frauds of 81,
and were not willing to compliment the
Devil by adopting his programme.
In public meeting called unconditional
Union" it had been announced by the
Mayor of this city, as reported by a city
paper in strong sympathy with him, that
Quartcrmastcrs and their clerks, and all
the soldiers and Government employees,
who had been residents of the county six
months, should assist in the election of loyal
men,
The Union states that meeting which
ratified the caucus nominations, on the
Thursday night preceding the election, ap-
pointed committee to ascertain who were
entitled to vote, and "to instruct the judges
accordingly" The Nashville Dispatch, tn,
organ of ANDREW JOHNSON, Military Gov
crnor Of Tennessee, evidently drawing it as
mild as possible, says of the election:
A large number of soldiers and Govern
ment employees voted, the question put tC
l,n,., L..,n Vn,.n hnrn ,,tx
months?' or "IIow long have you beer
here?" In most of the wards the oath pre-
scribed by Governor johnson was read t.
the voter; in one ward, the judge, after re
qucsting the voter to hold up his right
hand, said, "lIave You read, or heard read
the oath prescribed by Governor Johnson
and are you willing to subscribe to it Y'-
Answering in the Affirmative, his vote was
received.
Among the voters were members of reg
imcnts from Indiana, and other States, but
chiefly the 18th Michigan, the Invalid
Corps, and the inmates OF hospitals. The
Government employees were well represent
ed, large numbers voting in all the wards,
as far as our observation permitted us to
judge.
In view of the facts thus mildly set out

have not been permitted to say whethe
God or Baal should rule over them an,

Such is the mockcry of law and justice
and public dcccncy, whereby Mr.. LINcoL;
is abolshing slavery in the Southern State
as means of rc-constructing the Union, -

Kentucky.

The announcement of the determination
of the Union men of Kentucky to send
to the Democratic National Con-
vention has excited great Indignation among
the abolitionists. If anything like fair
election can be had, the vote of all the bor-
der States will be given next November for
the Democratic candidate, and the prospect
may well provoke the New York Tribune.
The people Of Kentucky think of the Ad-
ministration, as does the Louisville journal,
which well says
The Republican party, with Mr.. Lin
coin at its head, has repudiated alike the
Crittenden Compromise, the Chicago Plat
form, and the Constitution of the Union
II has made clean sweep Of all its solemn
engagements to the people. 1t has fore
sworn itself and betrayed the nation. Ii
order to get into power the Republican par
ty pledged itself to maintain inviolate the
Constitutional rights of the States, and, il
order to collect mighty army, it rcnwct
the pledge; but now that it has got into
power, and has collected mighty army
it tears its pledge into shrcds, and
tramples the Constitutional rights Of thu
States in the dust. y

Ahe,s Last.

ABE's last proclamation for a draft Of
two hundred thousand more, to come of
on the 18th day of April, took the people
by surprise They had labored to fill up
the call for three hundred thousand, then
for two hundred thousand more, and as
they were about to congratulate themselves
upon short respite from the cry for blood,
along came LINcoLN's last for two hundred
thousand more.
This makes seven hundred thousand men
called for in three months. And this, too,
at a time when we are assured by the Gov
ernment and all the Governments" en-
ployees, that the backbone of the rebellion
is broken, that the military. power of the
rebellion is destroyed, that the South is
starved out, that their armies are deserting
by thousands, daily, that LGNcoLN's Am
nesty Proclamation meets with general ia
vor and that the people are taking the oath
of allegiance to it as fast as they can secur,
opportunities

Dutch 50 is everybody, save those hol-
ding contracts, or those expecting to get
them. BY turns, he has succeeded in dis
gusting every party, every faction, every

dy Among all his opponents, however,
none are so relentless as the Germans. At
a late meeting Gl the German National Club
Of New York City it was unanimously re
solved
That we will not support Abraham Lin
coin under any circumstances whatever, if
he should be rc-nominated by any party for
a second term.
Says the German American, n represent

ition pursuaslon
But, above all, let the republican poll
ticians not wonder, if in u choice between
Mr.. Lincoln and General Mcclellan, the
German politicians should stand aloof from
the contest and leave the election To the
Democratic candidate. The crimes Of this
Lincoln administration towards the German
volunteers must be brought home upon i
by its utter destruction. We hope that
every man Of the Ninth, and every trien,
of German honor and glory, will take sol
emn oath not to rest until complete chang,

How torcibly we are reminded of the in
sufIicicncy of LINCOLN for the place he oc

that 10, 600 men were amply sufficient tc
crush the rebellion in ninety days; and that

credited on the quota assigned to it. The
deficiency is $50. Not long ago it could
muster twice a. many as the entire quota,
of armed men to resist the officers and laws

more than five men to resist rebellion II
