LIST OF LRnaRs- &C


In this letter will give you list of what
consider the best and most promising lodges
in Owyhee, as far as my observation goes,
and fatter myself that have been as dill
gent and as unceasing after information about
this country as possible, and after considera-
BILE danger and " hair-breadth scapes," amid
shafts, snow and rocks 1 have collected to-
gethsr list of lodges, with the depth of shaft
up to the present time, the width Of the ledge
on the surface, and the width at the bottom
of each shaft. and let the reader then form
his own conclusions. I will, however, re-
mark, so as to assist him, that not one solita-
ry ledge that has come to my knowledge, has
decreased in richness of ore, although they
have all widened almost without exception:
am sorry that have not an accurate assay
of rock from each ledge, but will assert with
out fear Of contradiction, that the lodges
herein set down, are the richest, of the same
number of lodges, on the face of this Terres-
trial Globe. They are set down without refe,
ence of value or richness, bat as your CORES
pondent happened over them. fThe table
referred to, we publish in another portion of
this papet.-ED.

The farce Of trying to make peace be-

Numerous sessions were held, at none of

could be accepted by Denmark with ho1of.
Every proposition seriously discussed coz
templated the further degradation Of shat
brave little State. So the Conference adj
journed on the s6th-of June, and hostiIitiss
were to recommence at once. OF course
Denmark must be wors.ed in this Unequal
contest. When she entered upon it she
had hopes, founded on almost positive as.
suraoees that Eogland would stand by
her sud see thas the teens of the treaty Of
1852 were enforced But England was
afraid and did nothing for Denmark except
make protes,stions of sympathy. There
has been a good deal of feeling among tho
English people at the course pursued by
their government, and efforts have beei
made by the Conservatives, held by the
EaIl of Derby and D'Israel, TO bring
about ministerial defeat. But they have
failed thus far, and there is little prospects
