FROM KooTENAI.-The news from Kootenal
continuesto be conflicting though men contin-
ue to come down to this place and Lewiston
for supplies and return again to the mines. Two
or three small pack trains have come down to
Lewiston within the past two weeks, loaded up
with provisions and gone back. Two young
men returned to to this city this week direct
from these mines At the time they left the
dggings the miners had not yet got to work In
the bed of Wild Horse creek, owing to con-
'tinued high water. They give it as their opin-
ion that about three miles of the creek, or the
canyon portion, will prove to be immensely
rich in gold. On bench or bar, some distance
up the side of the mountain, they report some
very rich claims; but as yet there has been no
water with which to wash the dirt Some of
,the miners on these claims, in shoveling up
the dirt so to have it in readiness for washing
by the time they might expect water, were pick
ing up from the ledge rock from 500 to $500
per day in pieces weighing from S. to $25.-
\Our infermants say they saw one pan of dirt
washed from one of these claims which yielded
the sum of $50. The dirt being piled up con.
,tained an abundance of gold, fine particles
,could be seen all through it.

Features Of the Raid.

striking feature Of the late Yankee raid "a the dis
prOpOriOnate number Of officers among tbs prisoners
who have fallen Into our hands, So far the number Of
officers registered prisons said to be about
to every ninety privates. From the feeble show Of
Sight made By the raiders and the great success with
which their officers have made good their escape the
presumption may be we'll founded that the latter feli
special apprehension of summary vengeance upon any
Of them whose fate 1t should be 10 fall into our hands
lis suspected that many Of them, after the failure Of
their undertaking became apparent assumed the gAb
Of prvates in the hope that greater lenency might be
.ed by to prisoners Of the latter class. But from
the character Of the expedition as explained by the
papers found the body Of COL Dahlgrep we can see
no just ground for discrimination between the officers
and privaWS engaged in it Violating the laws and
u'ages Of civil zsd warfare, and the regulations by
which they themselves governed, 1t appears that
Judgment and sentence were already passed BY them
selves before setting out against any of their number
who should chance to fall into our hands.
The address Of Col DAhgren 10 his officers and men
announces that they selected from brigAdes and
regiments picked command TO attempt desperate
undertaking." They cautioned net to leave their
ranks too far become too much scattered, they

all became volunteers in this lgsless undertaking.
It Is the orders uuder which they acted that places

Taking Richmond.

One conclusion results necessarily from the late des-
ptrate attempts Of the enemy to take this city by
prse--they have despaired of taking it by regular mill
tary operations. Seven different Generals have been
tried and found wanting in that enterprise. hundred
and fifty thousand have lost their lives in the en-
deavOr. The money expended in the bootless task
would have built several RiehmOnds Three years Of
vain and losing strife have brought them but little
nearer our gates than when they FIST encountered
sstanee on the historic plain of Manassas. At the
opening Of the fourth years campaign, Lses veterans
stand before their bsd hosts impossible barrier.
They see the futty Of further attempts, by regular
war to take the Confederate capital and they confess
their own despair BY the foolish and frantic attempt 70
seize it By eOxp de main. In this way they have
been and wiz be more successful than in the other.
