THE BANNooK MINES.

In June Jast there were 5000 OF. 1000 peO-
pie here, but most OF them left for the "Stink-
ing Water mines, u 4 afterwards called Virginia
City,) on their discovery in that month, the
gulch or placer "diggiugs" being infinitely
richer on the "Stinking WatcP Greek"
Bannock City nestles among lofty granite
mountains the Grasshopper creek, a tribpta-
ry of the Jefferson fork of the Missouri, run
ming through the valley, latitude APO, lon
gitude l1215 west. The city contists of one
long and some short, irregular streets, of log
and frame shanties and stores, built along
the creek, "bakeries" and restaurants aboun-
ding for the floating population.
Following the road along the creek through
the canon, we came to the gulch diggings,
and found the miners busily at work on both
sides of the stream; their "claims" are fifty
feet wide, stretching from base to base of the
mountains, and extend about four miles. These
are the "Poor Mans" mines, requiring little
capital to work them; the yield found to be
from S. to $15 per day to the man, although
there are some rich claims producing large
amounts. Water bitches are carried around
the mountain sides at different heights, to cup
| ply sluice boxes, the water having been
brought q distance of 10 to Is miles, near the
tops Of the mountains. The miners have
turned the creek in some places, aud are sink
ing shafts in the old channel.
Further down the canon there is a small
water-power quartz mill, with four wooden
stamps. This rude continuance, conducted by
one, man crushes $1,000 worth Of gold per
week.
A large frame building is in course of erec-
tion near here, for Colonel Hunkin's two
stamp mills and steam engine, which are ex
pected to arrive shortly from the Missouri
river. McCleggau & Co. are also putting VI
stamp mill and engine. Both Of these mill
will simply crush the quartz for the miners, a
per centage.
Beyond this the canon gets narrower, an'
the mountains are lofty and more precipitous

(. ANYBODY BUT LINCOLN


We are glad to and In the Fremont
meetings that the RadieaI Copper
heads cry for anybody but Lincoln,
and cheer Mcclellan. We are also
glad to see that the Micawber Cop.
iperhead newspapers delight in prin.
ting these demonstrations as ''out.
pourings of the people, We rejoics
because it,shows, what this Radical
Copperhead movement amounts to
who really control it, and what il
proposes to accomplish. There can
be no deception in the minds of the
people with these signs so apparent.
They eannot be induced to believe In
this as great radical slavery
movement when theyhesr Dr.. Broan-
son praising Mcclellan, aud PREFER
ing Vallandigham, the banished trai-
tor, and Wood, the defender of
Toombs in his gun purchases for
the rebels, to the author of eman-
cipation. Anybody but Lincoln"
why, of course. Lincoln can have
no sympathy with such men; neither
can his friends. 5yai n.E --airal
He represents the pure. honestosnd
sincere radicslism of the age. He is
the first Abolititionist of the time, for
while anti slavery has been to oil ers
a theme for songs. and speeches, and
anniversaries, it has been with him
a mighty, undertaking purpose. He
gave it guns, and ships. and money,
and sent it forth conquering and to
conquer. He has done more to aid
anti slavery than all the writers and
speakers that went to Cleveland. -
When men, therefore, assail Mr..
Lincoln lor being false to freedom,
end prefer John c. Fremont, a poiit-
ical accident of 1856, and John
Cochrsne, the politicsl secessionist
of 1861. as moro ardent anti-slavery
men, they show that their whole pur
pose is a fabrication and 9 snare
We desire all such people TO oppose
Mr.. Lincoln. They are rapidly
convincing the true snti-slavery men
who agreed with them of their own
insincerity and duplicity. Day by
day their purpose Is more clearly
developed. Day by day we see new
evidences Of the contemplated mar
ringe ofthe Radicals andCopperheads.
We look forward to such men as Mr..
Phillips and Mr.. Pillsbury. who. de
voted Abolitionists, however eccen-
tric and erratic. spurning the Ere
mont they supported as an snti-sla-
very men; but who is now proving
himselfa Copperhead We see that
the intense and enthusiastic G Germans
i the West are doing this very thing
These zealots do not like Mr.. lincoln
They would prefer more radical
man. They would have taken Ere
mont if he had proved true to the
pledges of himself and his friends,
but they cannot be taken over, like
so many sheep, into the Democratic
shambles to sustain Vallandigham
because they dislike the President =
They might desire a radical like
before Lincoln, but they
certainly would prefer Lincoln to a
or a traitor.

JOHN COCHRANE.

The Anti- Si0very Record thus
speaks of John Cochrane, the NOM
inee of the Cleveland Convention.
for the Vice Presidency: . -.er
If there is in this country more
nnscrupulous and slippery politician
than John Cochrane, we know not
where to look for him. In 1S48 he
was Free Soiler. but, having sue
ceeded in avenging the wrongs of Mr..
Van Buren by the defeat of Gen.
Cass, he abandoned the party, and,
in 1852, was a supporter of the
Fugitive Slave law and of that arrant
tool of the slave oligarchy, franklin
Pierce. who rewarded his treachery
to freedom by making him Collector
of the port of New York He sus-
ined the Administration of the infam-
GUS Buchanan to to the very end, he
supported Breckenridge for Presi-
dent in 1860, and as a member of
Congress in the winter of 1850 81,
did all he could by his votes and
speeches to betray the North; and
in April; 1861, after the inaugura-
ton of Lincoln. he went to Richmond
ard made aspeech TO the slayemon-
ger, then plotting treason, of which
the Examiner of that city speaks in
the following terms:
"This CocI rane will be remember
ed in Richmond as the New York
politician who, from the steps of
the Exchange Hotel, declared and
avowed, with solemn appeals to the
Almighty, that if the, Federal govern
ment should attempt to .coerce the
South; he (Cochranel would be
found sword in hand on the side OF
Old Virginia ".f''j-"ii 'ai 81 -i"
And this man, without q drop of
anti-slavery blood in his veins, and
whose lite has heen one long chap
ter of intrigue, is led in triumph to
the chain of a political anti slavery
Convention by noh-voting Aboli-
ZIONIST, who can find no ground for
confidence in President Lincoln, the
emancipator Of three million slaves,
and in whose eyes Garrison is an
"old fogy." ls.la3 = aoi!rotiA 81

GRANT AND MCCLELLAN.

|, The great capital point in the i'm
provement of our leadership is tha
the chief leader is Lieutenant Gener
al Grant, and not Major G General Nc
Cle.lan. The army under the latter
two years ago, never fonght q battle
on tie ofensivs. Not in single in
tance was it allowed to assume the
offensive Its business to wait attack
to hold its ground TIT conquered, tc
fail back If it we're vsnquished
Even when it repelled its foes, and
swept in upon their broken ranks, as
it did two years ago this very day at
Far Oaks, it was not permitted to
take advantage of its success, but
was held in check; though it is almost
certain, that had an immediate per
suit been ordered. according to the
desires of some of the corps COM
manders, Richmond would have been
captured with little or no 6ghting.-
All this absurd system of carrying
through great aggressive campaign
on defensive principles, have given
place to policy as completely the re-
verse as can be conceived. 1t is u
policy of motion, not rest; of attack,
not defense. Grants dominating ell
ement is vigor, McClellan's caution.
Grants disposition is to make the
best of what he has; Mcclellan $ to
W orry about what he has not. Grant
scorns an excuse; Mcclellan delights
in them. Grant has the sublime self
rtliance r that is always inspired by
genius. Without fear, he moves
away from his base, and cuts clear of
it altogether, and in all his strategy
and tactics shows an independence
Of book maxims that has characteriz-
ed all the greatest commanders
Mcclellan, though he can put himself
on paper with a good deal of apionab,
in action invariably magnifed dan
ger or difficulty, always shrank be !
fore it, and was never known, in a
single instance, to deviate from the
most timld military methods. The
difference in the mental and moral
constitution of the two men is per
fectly illust sted in the simple tact
that, while it has taken Grant only
twenty-seven days to reach his pres
ent position, through an almost con-
tlnuous storm of tattle, and in the
face of line on line ofmost elaborate
earthworks, it took Mcclellan over
fifty days to reach the same neigh
borhood, though finding in his way
nothing but the weak works Of York
town, defended by a few thousand
only, yet besieged for month; and
the works at Williamsburg, which.
in the absence of Mcclellan, were
rendered untenable by Hooker and
Hancock, after few hours fighting,
and which, in fact, might have been
turned d without any fighting at all.
In view of all these undeniable
facts, the conclusion is pretty safe
that this campaign will be no such
failure as the other-N y Times.

THE DEFEAT OF LINCOLN
THE ONLY HOPE OF THE
REBELS.


An Alabama Unionist furnishes
the Chattanooga Gazette with the fol-
lowing extract from a speech of Hon.
j. L. NJ Curry, rebel, delivered at
Tallodega, Ala, in April last. Mr..
Curry was a member of the Uni-ed
States House OF Representatives at
the breaking out of the war, and
was member of the rebel Congress.
He said at Talladega: y .,ar
Again, my hearers, we should
remember that much depends upon
the choice the Northern people
make for President the incoming
fall. There will be at least two par
ties represented, to wit: the war
party, who will doubtless make an
effort to have Lincoln retained, and
the peace party, who will make a
bold effort to elect man pledged to
give the Confederates justice and
restore peace--long desired and ar
dently- prayed for. peace-to our
bleeding country. We hope, we
trust, we pray that they may be sue
cessful. Tremendous cheering.
Should they be successful, such a
shout as was never before heard
would spread over our afflicted
South: Songs: sweet songs ofpraise,
would ascend from every heart to
the mansions of Paradise, and the
many myriads of holy angels who
surround the bright and dazzling
throne Of Omnipotence would join in
the chorus and tune their harps to q
new song of liberty to man ON earth,
IT such be the happy result. our inde-
pendance will he forever established.
Cheers,
But should Lincoln be re- elected,
our fond hopes will be dashed to the
ground; our Independence but q
thing dreamed of; for we have ex-
hausted our resources, and could moi
possibly hope to be able to continue
the war four years longer. Past ex-
perience has taught US that we could
expect no favors at the hands of the
in-domitable tyrsnt and usurper
Abraham Lincoln. Let us repos,
our trust in the God of battles ant
anxiously await the result
