ARREST OF BISHOP KAvANAeH.


From the Stockton Independent of We'd
nesday, we learn the particulars of the
arrest of the Southern Bishop who re-
Gently honored this Territory with visit.
That paper says:
Rev. II. II. Kavanagh, represented as
Bishop Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, whose home until quite recently has
been in Georgia, but who for some weeks
past has been travelling around in this part
OF the State organizing churches and preach
ing the Gospel as the Methodist Episcopal
Church South understand it, TO many con-
gregations Of rebel sympathizers, was on
Monday arrested BY Captain jackson, Unit
ed States Marshal for the Southern District
of this State. The arrest was made at Blacks
ranch, Salt Spring Valley, Calayeras county,
whilst the Bishop was holding camp meet
ing. BY the reverend gentleman's request,
he was granted his parole until he could
preach a sermon, on promise to report him
self at this city yesterday for passage on the
San Francisco steamer, which he did accord
ingly. We cannot state the precise charges
on which he was arrested.
From other sources, we learn that
young Glasby, one of the stage robbers
now in custody, has made revelations
which imphcate many persons outside of
the stage-robbing gang. The robbers
claim to have been acting under commits
sions from JEFF. Davis, and the youth
Glasby says they robbed the stage to raise
money to go south and join the rebel
army. AS the Reverend Bishop came
recently from Georgia, it is possible that
he may have brought the commissions out
IN bundle of sermons, tracts and hymn
books. HUI nose:

The SIDEwALKs.-We have received
the following communication with re-
quest to publish:
"a profuse shower of thanks would be
rendered to the (seli-styled) gentlemen Of
Gold Hill, provided they would cease to mo-
nopolize the exclusive use of the sidewalks,
thereby turning the ladies into the principal
thoroughfare designed for the travelling pub
lie. GRIT"
Considering the amount of sidewalk in
this town, and its quality, We must con-
fess that we fail to see any great hardship
that ladies or 'any other man" endure by
being crowded therefrom. There is not a
length of hundred feet of sidewalk in
town unbroken BY a flight of rickety
steps, and if the graceful exhibition of
ankles and dimity involved in clambering
these steps is any object to the ladies, we
hope that henceforth there may be no OBJ
stacle presented thereto by the ruder sex.

WAR INCIDENTAL correspondent of the
Army of the Potomac gives the following in
cident that actually occurred: l have seen
soldiers chase hares and pick backberries
when shower of the leaden messengers of
death were falling thick and fast around
them, and do many other cool and foolish
things. But the following, which actually
took place at Mine Run, surpasses every-
thing l remember to have seen or heard
On one of those biting cold mornings while
the armies of Meade aud Lee were staring at
each other across the little rivulet known as
Mine Run, when moments appeared to be
hours and hours days, so near at hand SEEM
ed the deadly strife, a solitary sheep leisurely
walked along the Run on the rebel side. 4
rebel vidette fred and killed the sheep. and,
dropping his gun, advanced to remove the
prize. In an instant he was covered by
gun in the hands of federal vidette, who
said, "Diyide is the word, or you are dead
Johnny" This proposition was assented to,
and there, between the two skirmish lines,
Mr.. Rebel skinned the sheep, took one-half
and moved back to his post, while his chal.
lenger in turn, dropped his gun, crossed the
Run, got the other half Of the sheen, and
again resumed the duties of his post amid
the cheers Of his comrades, who expected to
help him eat it. OF the hundreds Of hostile
men arrayed against each other on the bank
Of that Run, not one dared to violate the
truce agreed upon by these two soldiers.

The Money Market-Mining stocks

From the commercial articles of We'd
nesday's argus we extract the following
remarks:
1.-THE Money Market is without change in
any essential feature, and the same dullnesS
and apathy prevalent for SO long time con-
tinues to characterize everything. The OPP
erations ofthe commercial classes at this pc
Rod require little or no assistance. There
is no movement of grain from the interior,
which sometimes employs large amount of
funds, and in fact there are few enterprises
of any nature demanding more than the
usual volume of means incident to the ordi-
nary transactions of the day.
Money is very plentiful, more so than it
ever has been here, and to find channels for
its legitimate and safe employment is now
extremely difficult. If the inducements Of
fered in the speculative arena Of the Stock
Exchange fail to elicit any response from
capitalists at the comparatively safe prices
ruling for many good stocks, it is probable
that their attention may be diverted to Real
Estate in this city and its environs. This
kind of property has paid well for years past
and more especially within the last year, as
it has enhanced in value in almost every por
ton of San Francisco. This interest may,
uONeNGE. UG SAtSbCu Ol luC III
other departments of business, and in mining
enterprises, and thereby soon lose some of
its present attractions to the capitalist. 4
The Share Market exhibits occasionally a
little recuperatiye power, but no confidence
is felt as yet in the stability Of any stock,
even at the very low prices current from day
to day, and until u better feeling is success
fully inaugurated, and capital can be diverted
into stock channels, no permanent improve
ment can be looked for. Nearly all the deal
ers in mining shares are seriously embarass-
ed. They have no ability, If the inclination
were not lacking, to invest, and their friends
are in the same category. A number oflead-
ing claims are likely to yield more abundant
ly than ever this summer, and many others,
which at the moment are temporarily
eclipsed, are almost sure to improve. Econ
omy is now the order ofthe day in all mining
operations; retrenchment and reform must
and will prevail. All these new phases can
not but result in good, and inure to the bene-
fit of stockholders"

4th As there are few things so annoying as
these examinations. those on whom this duty NAV
fall are enjoined to make.them with every con.
sideration for the passengers, consistent with an
effective compliance with this order.
In view of the calamity which the seizure of a
steamer on these distant seas would be to the ma.
ton, and the disaster IL would entail on the peo-
pie on this coast, and the ruin it would prove TO
the unfortunate travellers on board, 1t Il conf.
IDENTIFY hoped that all good and loyal people will,
by their ready compliance Herewith, be active in
their support of the measures herein ordered, so
that none but our covert enemies may be found
denouncing, opposing, or endeavOring to evade
them. BY command of Major General Mcdowell.

FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE.
The announcement of the order for fur
Their draft for 500, 900 men, creates less ex-
element and provokes less comment here
to-day than would have been created year
or two since by mere call for fifth part of
that number Of volunteers. We have long
since found out that if this rebellion is to be
crushed and the Union restored-as God
grant it may be-it must be through the en-
ployment of an overwhelming force and
liberal expenditure of powder, lead and cold
SIeel. lhClS OUWUty "Uu accomplish the
results desired by all true patriots. We are
told that the walls of Jericho were blown
down by blast from rams horns, but have
ever believed that the blowing was mainly
done after the town was surprised and cap
tured, and fully believe that the horns
would have done better service on the heads
of the original proprietors, than they could
have done in the hands of the blowers. At
any rate, if Richmond could have been taken

since have cleared the rebel Notifications off
the face of the earth. They have not accom-
plished this desirable resultant it now re-
mains to be seen what virtue remains in
blows with the sword, the bayonet, and the
dubbed musket. Whether the order will be
made to apply to California or not, is as yet
a matter ofdoubt with the military authori-
ties in the Department of the Pacific, but the
general supposition is that it will not We
shall soon know however and if it must come
why let it come! am afraid that if a draft
was to be ordered in the Pacific States, the
treatment of our Copperheads by loyal men
would be somewhat changed. Such things
stir up the bile. Yours, AMINoo.

VINCE GEIeER.-Concerning the above
named individual, the Sacramento Union
has the following: We understand that Vim
cent Z. Geiger, who killed Union man
named Wells, October 10Th, at Red Bluff,
and has not since been visible by daylight,
whill shortly turn up at Victoria, Vancouver
Island. Instead of having left the State af-
ter the murder, as was supposed by he un-
initiated, we learn that he has resideu peace
fully and quietly within eight or ten miles of
the Nome Lackee Reservation, in the county
in which the crime was committed, undis-
tur6ed BY either Union men on the war path,
or the officers of the county in the discharge
Of their official duty. The story is that on
the night of the murder Geiger was furnish
ed with keys, etc, and secreted himself for
two days IN the County Court House. He
then retreated to secluded spot near the
Reservation, where he remained until quite
recently: A short time ago he started with
two Indians overland for British Columbia,
and Mrs. Geiger, assisted by hotel proprie-
tor Of San Francisco. took passage tor Vic
toria on one Of the northern bound steamers,
for the purpose ofjoining her husband.

THE PREcIoUS METALs.-We extract the
following from the Weekly Stock Circular Of
last Saturday: 1.-THE receipts in this city of
uncoined gold and silver from California and
Nevada Territory, since January lst, amount
to S2l 800, 900, showing an excess of s., $780,
600 as compared with like period of last
year, when the placer mines were yielding
much more abundantly. The yield Of Neva-
da Territory in Bullion during the past six
months exceeds SS,500,00O. In the entire
year of 1868 the product of Nevada amount
ed to 81, SOC, 900, and in 1862 it reached So
100000. These figures clearly indicate the
increasing importance and value of the
Washoe mines, and we doubt whether any
other interest on this coast can now present
such attractions to those who may invest at
present prices: no business is likely to give
more assured profits if regularly and legiti-
mately pursued. The most important gold
and silver regions of this continent, and per-
haps of the world, are those of California
and Nevada Territory. Their development
has multiplied the production Of the precious
metals everywhere else, and our metallic SEQ
rings upon the tablet of the future are never
to be erased. 1t may be of some interest to
speak in this connection Of the production
Of gold and silver in other portions OF the
great CHdlu eAteuuihS uoItu NuIOuSu Soulu
America, Ceatral America and Mexico. The
principal mineral wealth of the world has
been found in the mountain system which
overlooks the Pacific Ocean. For three hun
bred years the Spaniards in Mexico, Peru
and other South American Colonies have
been extracting silver and gold from the veins
of the metamorphic rocks. From the years
1850 to 1870 Humboldt estimates their pro-
duction to have been S5,000,000, and from
1870 to 1880, S9l0,000,000 is the estimated
yield, of which latter sum Mexico alone pro-
duced SOS, 900, 900 in silver. The great mine
at Potosi, formerly in Peru but now in Bue-
nos Ayres, has been worked since 1915, and
IRE estimates the entire yield Of the veins
around this mine to have been 81 500, 000, 900.
We thus see what has been accomplished in
the southern portion of the same range,
which, doubtless, runs through this State and
Nevada, and where mines have been worked
in the rudest manner. With US all the re-
sources of modern science will be taxed to
find out the best way of working cheaply and
thoroughly the ores that are found, and many
new processes will be discovered from time
to time. The Governor of Colorado, in his
last message, thus alludes to this subject
"The Improvements in the modes of saving
gold and silver from our mines have given a
new impulse to mining operations. By these
new processes ores that paid but S25 per ton
by the old process are now readily made to
yield 800 per ton. 1t may be fairly estima-
ted, therefore, that most of our mines have
been quadrupled in their value during the
past year by the improvements made in the
processes of saving the precious metals"
