ken to Belize.

The New York Herald of January 18th contains
the following:
"Our correspondents in British Honduras, da-
ting at Belize on the 26th of December furnish
the important intelligence that the American
schooner Joseph L. Gerety, Capt. Nichols, from
Matamoras for Havana. with one hundred and
twenty-five bales of cotton on board, had been
seized by rebel passengers; and run INTO Belize
under the British flag. 1t seems the Gerety had
taken 6rebels on board at MatamoraS for convey.
ance to Havana, and that these passengers, when
at SEQ, suddenly overpowered the Captain and
crew, set them adrift In boat, and then painted
OF the proper name Of the vessel, changing it to
the Eureka-a rebel schooner. 1t Is also said that
they killed the steward of the Gerety, who re-
sisted them Being already furnished with a
register corresponding with the tonnage and guam
tty Of cotton by the rebel Collector in the port Of
Brownsville, they steered for Belize and entered
under the British ensign, the authorities hsv-
ing refused to recognize the rebel flag which
they first displayed Here the cotton was imme-
diately sold to merchant, the parties receiving
seven thousand dollars on account An arrival
from Sisal brought news of the piracy, when the
captorS Of the GeTety suddenly decamped The
British authorities offer reward of five hundred
dollars for the arrest Of the leaders named Hogg
and Brown respectively. The cotton Is on Its
way to England; the schooner Is safe at Belize,
and the remainder of the money will be handed
over to the proper owners. Five cotton schoon-
ers had arrived in Belize from rebel ports within
g short time, and were preparing TO run through
the blockade on their return"

TAXING THE MISEs.-The late Territorial
Legislature, before adjourning, passed law
taxing all mining property. This was done
in pursuance of the provisions Of the Organic
Act of our Territory, passed BY Congress, and
shows that the Federal Government recog-
nizes the principle of either Territory or a
State taxing mining property as well as other
property which claims the protection Of the
laws. We have heard some pretty severe
criticisms in Gold Hill on the acts Of some Of
the members of the Legislature for voting for
this measure-while less than month before
they expressed themselves bitterly opposed to
the State Constitution, because Of its mine
taxing clause. However, if they have done
their duty as Legislators honestly and con-
scientiously, of course it is all right.

TERRITORIAL PRIsoS.-The Prison Board
is authorized to buy the property, near Car
son City, known as the Territorial Prison, for
the sum of 1000; 10000 down, and $780,
900 in three years. As there are but eight con-
yicts, it would seem that ten thousand dollars
each is big sum for a house to keepthem in;
and we would suggest that Aurora would be
the most appropriate place to keep the prison.
