VICE PRESIDENT HAMLIN.-There were
many, says the Concord Democrat, who desir-
ed the denomination of Vice President Ham,
lin. But the Baltimore Convention selected
the noble Tennessean, Andrew johnson in his
stead. Mr.. Hamlin does not complain. He is
too good man, and too disinterested patri-
OF, to do that. In ratification meeting held
at Bangor few days since, he expressed his
entire satisfaction, aud bestowed merited
praise upon both of the nominees. Hannibal
TIamlin cannot be sore head Heis radical
man; his successor is one Of the same sort.

Moan, from Memminger.

The rebel Secretary of the Treasury
sends most despairing report to the Con-
gross. The rebels repudiate the worthless
rags of their government. Memminger
says: "The Government finds itself una
BILE to comply with the letter Of its en-
gagement. 1t endeavors, then, to comply
with its spirit. 1t tenders the creditors
payment of its debt before it is due
in security of greater value. 1t gives
him time to accept the payment and,
if he should prefer to retain the obligation,
it allows the alternative upon the simple
condition that he shall forego the privilege
of demanding payment until after the war.
1t does exactly what an honest debtor in
distress is bound to do; it recognizes its
debts, offers the best security for payment
in its power, and asks for time. This, in
plain terms, is the proposal of the Govern
ment; and if it were the case of an indi-
vidual, his creditors would meet, and, as a
body, would accept his offer.
The continuance of the notes as a circulat-
ing medium to their present extent involves
the ruin of public and private credit, and
will deprive the Government of the means
of defending the lives and property of its
citizens. If the currency remains in its
present expanded state, no measure of re-
lief can be made efectual. Prices must
advance, and the means of the Govern
ment to pay these prices must daily lose
efficiency-taxes become fruitless by rea-
son of the depreciation of the money.
The army can neither be paid, clothed nor
fed; arms and munitions of war can no
longer be supplied; the officers of tho
Government cannot be supported, and the
country must succumb.

Another Mineral Belt.

The complete success of the Shelton
mine, in the Argentine District, establish
Is the fact of an entirely distinct mineral
belt west of the general range of the Com
stock, and separated from it by the high
range of mountains, on the eastern slope
of which the latter lies. The Shelton
mine lies west Of southwest of Virginia
City among the lower hills on the west
slope of the mountain range separating
this place from Washoe Valley. 1t is
about one mile from the east edge of the
Valley, and about two from Washoe
Lake, both Of which lie in full view from
the company's works. 1t is but five or
six miles to the other side of the Valley,
where there is plenty of wood and water
for working the ore cheaply.
Commenting upon the establishment of
this range on the west, and the Flowery
Range on the cast, of which the Lady
Bryan is the leading mine, the Union says:
Hence new and important mining dis
trict is opening up to our west, placing Vir-
ginia CITY on the central Of three disconnect-
cd and widely separated silver bearing belts,
either of which would insure her steady
growth and permanent prosperity. 1t is not
so much because it might be pleasing to the
members ofthe Shelton company. with whom
We are but little acquainted. that we are glad
to be able to make such favorable notice Of
their prospects, as because the bearing the
fact has upon the mining interest at large
and the general future Of the country.

AMERICAN SHIPS AND SuIPPERs.-No
better evidence of the decadence of the
American shipping interests than glance
at our shipping list Of vessels now in port.
A stranger passing along our wharves
might naturally infer from the varied ma
tionality of the shipping, that he was in
some oriental port, instead Of the great
metropolis of the western world. Of the
l62 vessels up for foreign ports, only 26
are covered by the American flag! The
remainder are thus apportioned: "a Bri-
fish. IL French, 9 Bremen, 9 Prussian, 8
Hanoverian, Hamberg, Danish, 4
Dutch, Norwegian, Austrian, and
l Russian. These stern but patent facts
are notifying to every patriotic Ameri-
can, and if some extra effort be not speed
lily made by Congress, our entire mercan-
tile marine, once the glory and pride Of
the American nation, is in danger of being
swept from the seas by the four or five
Confederate corsairs who have no legiti-
mate home of their own. 1t is gratifying
to be able to state the fact that, notwith-
standing the discrimination against them,
in the shade of onerous war risks, a con-
siderable portion of our shippers and ship
owners still cling to the old flag with a
pertinacity worthy of the cause; and tho
it is in some instances losing operation,
it is to be hoped the time will come when
their patriotic efforts will be recognized
and fittingly rewarded York Ship

Richmond Examiner, of December 9Th, says:
"We have to-day only one piece Of news Of
Interest, and that relates TO the present posi-
ton OF General Lo1gstreet. We are at last
able to inform our readers where he IS. An
official dispatch wds received from him yes

ledge is thirty miles northeast of Knoxville,
on the road to Bristol, and one hundred miles
from the latter place. At the date Of his dis.
patch he had halted at Rutledge, but ne VIII
inevitably fall back on the approach Of the
enemy. In his present position he is hpble
to an attack in front from Burnside, in rank
from Cumberland Gap, and in the rear from
the pursuing forces of Gen. Grant who,
the telegraph informs us, are making their
way toward his rear by the same route by
which he himself proceeded against Burnside.
Notwithstanding his apparently critical posi-
ton, we think we may regard him as safe.
He has the shortest route before him to south
western Virginia, and clear start Of his
pursuers. What Longstreet has accom-.
plished in East Tennessee may be summed
up in the word nothing"
