News, for a certain sum Of money, would
oppose the adoption Of the Constitution.
Now, the proprietor" referred to is the
person who writes this reply, and he
knows exactly what he says: Soon at er
the adjournment of the Constitutional
Convention, Mr.. 4. B. Paul, one of the
Executive Committee" of the opponents
of the Constitution, asked US to meet him
at his Office one evening, regarding certain
printing which their Committee wished
done. Of course we met Mr.. Paul, as we
trust We shall always meet him, in u
friendly, business manner. The printing
work to which he referred was the use of
the columns of the News in pull fishing
all communications having bearing
against the adoption of the Constitution
to furnish five hundred extra copies of the
News each day until the election, and to
do some other printing, such as posters,
tickets. All of which we are free to con-
fess, without any equivocation whatever,
we did agree to do for the sum of fire
thousand dollars. Mr.. Paul said he was
not authorized by the balance of the Com
mittce to make the contract at that price,
but that he would see one or two of the
Committee about it. 1t was plain bust
ness transaction with US, to furnish GER
tain space in our columns, to furnish
5000 extra newspapers per week, and to
execute certain other printing for stipu-
lated sum of money. We have no recol-
lection of having subsequently, addressed
Mr.. Paul. or any one else, on this subject;
and we take this occasion to say, that the
assertion made by the Union that We called
upon two prominent members Of the En-
ecutive Committee, is untrue. Mr.. Paul
is the only man who ever spoke to US on
the subject. From the great interest which
the Union has manifested in behalf of this
executive Committee, (since the State Con-
vention,) We doubt not but its proprietors
underbid US in the job work, and received
the contract, as they seem so well posted:
and by its own showing the public will
draw this inference. We will further
state, that if any one of this Executive
Committee want any more job printing
done at this office, we shall pursue the
course Tom Fitch did when he offered to
Judge Hanson the entire influence of the
columns of the Union to support the Con-
Stitution and the nominees of the State
Convention, if he would be nominated for
Attorney Gcneral-.frst, an affidavit to
Keep the matter a secret, and second, a bond
IN ten thousand dollars to .fuya the con-
tract.
In conclusion, if any persons feel sutfi-
cient interest in making any further inqui-
~ regarding the core ctneSS of our state
ment of the interview between us and Mr..
Paul, we refer them to that gentleman.
The attempt of the Union to place us in a
false position, is in precise consonance
with its course on the adoption of the
Constitutional complete distortion of
facts and figures

Slow, are we.

At the great war meeting held in New
York on the Sd of December, Parke Good
win made brief speech, in which he very
neatly folds away the broad sheet Of our
warning thus far, and with some pertinent
comparisons shows how little England OF
France, or the world, has to complain OF
what the armies of the Union have ac-
compishcd. Says Mr.. Goodwin:
When we took this rebellion in hand
we had two great problems: One militia
ry-to put down the rebellion in arms ;
the other political-to reconcile the re
volted population. The latter would be
discussed when the first was solved. The
first involved no less than four of the
greatest military operations known to his
tory-the blockade of 5000 miles of sea-
coast the defense of our capital and our
land frontier; the opening of the most
important river of the world, running a
thousand miles through hostile territory
and the destruction of the rebel armies.
We had no army, and our navy was scat
tered to the four quarters of the world.
No nation had dared to declare our block
ade inefficient, we had defended our from
tier and the city of Washington, and had
pushed the enemy far from the frontier,
until we had 10 look for him far down to-
ward the Gulf. In the beginning of the
war we cared mainly about Baltimore and
Ohio, and Lexington, Missouri. Now
we had ceased to care even about Nash
vile, and Memphis and Vicksburg, and
our interest was concentrated on the
mountains of Georgia. The opening of
the Mississippi had been accomplished.
The dispersion of their armies had been
to a great extent accomplished.
Europe said we were slow; he remem-
bered that the great Wellington took six
years to drive Napoleon out of Spain. a
country as large as Virginia, and then he
retired because of rcverses elsewhere.
Four nations Of Europe took two years to
occupy the Crimea, a country about as
large as New Jersey. England took %
months to suppress the Sepoy rebellion,
about as great an undertaking US to put
down a rebellion among the negroes of a
county in South Carolina. France had
in more than year succeeded in getting
only about one hundred and eighty miles
into Mexico, where she held very inSc-
cure position. The mastery generalship
which enabled Hooker to battle Lee be-
fore Gettysburg showed that we had mil
itary genius among us. The marches of
Fremont rivalled those of Napoleon. The
charge of Zagonyi equalled the charge of
Balaklava. If English poets sang of Mel
son and Trafalgar, ours would sing of
Farragut carrying his wooden ships
through sheet of fire and fame to New
Orleans.

For Assembly:
Resolutions adopted by the Union
State Convention of Nevada,
January LIST, 1864.

We, the members Of the Convention of Union
men Of Nevada Territory, believing: that il Is n
matter Of vital importance that the Government
of the future State of Nevada should be admin

tegriry and unqueStioned patriotism. and that il
is the boundcu duty Of every citizen TO sustain
at all times and particularly at this time OF our
country's peril the Government of the United
States aud its legally constituted authorities,
against all oppoSers, whether NJ home or abroad,
we therefore resolve

true to- the country all the time, AMI bhs eternal
defiance to the rebellion and al IFS supporters,

wolves the duty of preserving the integrity of the

and treasure declaring that the Federal Union

THE VIRGINIA UNION ON THE
RAMPAGE!

The Union is becoming extremely sore
headed on the Constitutional and other
questions, because the State Convention
would not nominate one Of its proprietors
for State Printer. Itfairly boils and bub-
bles with rank indignation at everybody
who avors the adoption Of the ConStitu-
ton and the election of the candidates Of
the Union Party. Finding the friends Of
the Constitution using its own eloquent
weapons of argument as potential reasons
for the organization of our State Govern
ment, and to "show up" the inconsistent
cies which now appear in the Union, it
becomes extremely wrathy, and sails into
the Bulletin and Ne,rs this morning in a
most ferocious style. For instance:
"The Virginia Erening Bulletin and the
Gold Hill Ne,cs are both pledged to work for
politicians and in order to serve the politi-
clans they are both compelled to advocate the
adoption of the Constitution, no matter at
what sacrifice to the people"
As members of the Union Party ever
since its organization, we feel bound to
support its nominees when made; we
never fly the track; we are no bolter ;
and there is this difference between the
News and the UnioR-we stand by the
nominees of our party (''poiticians," if
you please,) while the Union, because of
its failure to get the State Printing, has
bolted, left the Union Party, is opposing
the adoption of the Constitution through
mere spite-and we expect viii next set
itself up as the organ Of the Gopperhead
element of the new State of Nevada! 1t
is certainly drifting in that direction as
fast as it can.
The ostensible editor Of the Union, once
having received an appointment in the San
Francisco Mint, took it upon himself to
set up a political brokerage; that is to
say, for a consideration in money, he
would promise to applicants certain offices.
4 cripple was wronged out of some $500
by the promise of an Office which he
never received, and being threatened with
exposure, the "broker," who is now edit
ing the Virginia Union, was compelled to
refund the money. Having been IN the
political brokerage business in San Fran
cisco, he evidently entertains strong pro-
eIivities in that line yet-and hence ne
suspects everybody else, and editors IN
particular, Of similar inelinations. In
order, therefore. to screen himself, this
most righteous broker, in his paper this
morning, endeavors to make it appear that
he has competitor in the business IN the
person of one Of the proprietors Of the
NKws. Here is what he says:
1--WE have the authority Of two prominent
members OF the Executive Committee for
stating that one OF the proprietors OF the
NEWS called upon them and stated that the

PLEASANT Times IN STORE FOR BURN
s1DE.-The rebels have pleasant things in
store for General Burnside-should they
catch him. The Petersburg Express, re-
ferring to Morgdn's confinement in the
Ohio Penitentiary, says: Should kind
Just Providence, SO will it that Burnside
should fall into our hands, we trust that
a cell in some State prison, with shaved
head, coarse fare, prison garb, etc., will
be instantly awarded him, as it was by
his order thai General Morgan was sub
jected to the outrages which he has en-
dured. In this instance we are for the
Ter talioais in its strictest sense. An eye
for an eye, and tooth for tooth, is i'm
peratively demanded, and it is the only
mode by which we can compel the
Yankees to conduct the war in accordance
with the usages of civilized nations"

The MONTE DIABLo MINEs.-The Con-
ira Costa Gazette, of January I'd, says
that the miners are still industriously at
work around Diablo. The Mount Zion
tunnel is now about LOO feet in length,
and it is estimated that Is feet more will
reach the ledge. The road to the Keokuk
is not quite completed, but the miners
have resumed work on the tunnel. The
Great Republic is very promising, and i'm
proves rapidly. The Superior bids fair
to realize the most sanguine expectations
of its holders; the ore now being taken
out is very good. The Pioneer is also
very promising, but for some cause or
other, work is suspended for the present.
The Summit of Zion Company are run
ming tunnel to strike their ledge at u
considerable depth. The above are but a
very small part of the claims in Clayton
District upon which labor is being ex-
pended with encouraging results. In Di-
ablo District, the Unexpected, Horse Shoe,
Alpine and others are vigorously worked,
and held in high estimation by their own
ers. The scarcity of powder is source
of no little embarrassment in conducting
mining operations.

THE Russian TELEGRArH.- The S. T.
Bulletins New York correspondent says:
II find in one of our English journals the
announcement that L. Med. Collins had
recently had an interview with the Duke
of Newcastle at the Colonial Office. This
interview, probably, had reference to Mr..
Collins projected telegraph line from
Russia through British Columbia. Much
curiosity is still aAoat in telegraph circles
touching the nature of the contract which
BrutuS ]. Clay recently claimed to have
concluded with the Emperor of Russia.
1t is possible that there may be certain
parties in those circles who are well posted
in the matter, but who, for reasons of
their own, choose for the present to keep
what they know to themselves. The
quieness with which Collins has been
operating for the past twclvemonth has
led some people to surmisc that he has
really put the Russian part of the bust
ness into the hands of Mr.. Clay. Since
the foregoing was written, 1 hear that let
tiers have been received in town from Mr..
Collins. He states that the obit ct of his
interview with the Duke of Newcastle
had not been definitely attained, but that
matters, on the whole, looked very en-
couraging, and he felt no doubt of ulti-
mate success. 1 also hear, that Mr.. Clay
has had nothing whatever to do in St.
Petersburg with Mr.. Collins enterprise,
and that there is much doubt felt and eX-
pressed as to his having had any connec-
ton with any other project of similar
nature.
