A Few Words TO ssLOYnI.:

To put treason under your feet has cost
great sacrifice of blood and treasure.
To-day, your great study should be to
prevent the recurrence of such calami-
ty. Rur was not executed, Calhoun
was not executed, and these two mistakes
gave us Jefferson Davis. Shall he go
unpunished ? If you would have no more
OF rebellion, you must teach your children
that treason is odious and sympathy with
1t eternal lnfamy-this you cannot do by
eleyating the guilty to positions Of hon
or upon the graves of our loyal slain. |
would rather point them to the number
of their killed and wounded, to the bro.
ken hearted widows and crying orphans,
and tell them "Your four years OF rebel
lion is failure" but for this suffering
you shall ever be held accountable. Let
the fatherless follow at their heels and
cry murder Let the finger of scorn
bring, daily to their minds, the great crime
that lies at their door anil posterity be
hold their history aud their graves cover

all time, that, God is just, and traitors
shall be punished. "Lct all alterations
be buried with the deqd," tut let not
tiving tools of treason bask in the suq
shine of Popular favor, responsibility and
honor. "Justice" would not forbid his po-
litical opponents coming to the funeral of
father or a brother, but he would have
them occupy their proper position as :he
murderers Of fathers, and the murderers
of brothers. A certain man who had n

"The race of mankind would perish did
we cease to help each other. From the
time that the mother binds the ehild's
head till the moment that some kind as
sistant wipes the dew of death from the
head Of thedying,we cannot exist without
mutual help. All, therefore, that need
aid have right to ask it of their fellow
mortals, aud no one, who has it. in his
power to grant, can refuse without incur
ring guilt"

GENrEEL ROAD AaENTs.-The Virginia
Union, speaking of the late stage robbery,
which took place just below the Gould &
Curry mill, says:
"If we are not misled by imaginary
facts, or rather if the facts in reference to
the whole matter are correctly related BY
the passengers, eve come to the conviction
that the robbery.was conducted by no or
binary professional or hardened villains.
Il was the work Of men of better instincts,
driven perhaps to the commission Of It BY
hard fortune, or what would commonly
be said to be necessity. 1t is probable
that those men were known residents Of
Virginia and in this city the next morning.
and perhaps are still here, but may have
made use Of the money to leave on some
desired expedition, which was contem-
plated by them long before. Some Of
them must be in this city now. Our
reasons for coming to the conclusion that
those men would rank in society for men
of more than tolerable respectability, and
that they are still here, we withhold for
the present.
In other words, some busted Demo
Gratis did the deed. Just the business we
expected some of them would 90 into, or
return to, after the late election. Are the
Union editorial corps about to "split" on
the "no ordinary professional villains "
who have confessed in the sanctum: 1t
is evident that quite a batch Of u work.
ing Democrats are moving on California,
from the number of teamsters robbed on
the highway thither.

SAN FRANCISCO DIsPATCH.
SPECIAL DlsrArca TO THE GOLD NIL DAILY sEws.l
SAN Francisco. Nov. 1872 P. N.
Forenoon stock Transactions.

The Alta says the Western Pacific Rail-
road Company is "all right" though other
San Francisco journals say not. The ex.
cuse for stopping the work is that the
grading is far in advance of the reception
of iron. The grading from San Jose to
vallejo's Mill, twenty mills, is nearly.
finished; three weeks more work will
complete it. Some Of the iron (l60 tons)
is on the ground, and men are engaged in
laying it down ; $50 tons are due; and the
remainder will come at intervals, the last
to arrive in March next. The route from
Vallejo's Mill to Sacramento has been
located. and it will run through Liver
more's Pass, which is 6s6 feet above the
sea. A contract has been made for 5000
tons of iron with Eastern manufacturers,
who have already gone to work. There
has been some delay in the shipments, no
vessel being willing to take any very large
quantity. Of the three ships due, one has
800 tons, another 256, and the third l09'
The grading can easily be kept in advance
of the iron. 1t is calculated that the road
will be open to Vallejo's Mill in May next,
and to Sacramento in the summer Of 1867.
One locomotive, sixteen cars, and a turn
table, have been received, and are ready
for use. About eighty toni of iron are
required for a mile Of road.

The CATHOLIC VIgw.-To US it seems
that no two other races ever lived so hap
PLY and tremendously together as the
white and black races on the continent.
Even under the horrible injustice of slavery
the whites have been prosperous in ut
least a pecuninry point of view, and the
blacks have increased and their happiness
has not been marred by q hostility Of
races. Indeed, we believe the evils Of
slavery came to the masters from O lack Of
the antagonism complained of. The fact
is, no such hostility exists. The most
popular waiter about a house or a hotel is
the colored waiter, and no man, unless he
is very low in the scale Of humanity can
say honestly that he hates q negro because
he is q negro. If questioned, the most
prejudiced admits that he likes the negro
in his place. Where that place is, makes
the question we are called upon to solve.
And IN the response, let us fall back upon
duty az Christians. We can with safety
do justice, and leave tie consequences to
God. The adaptability of human nature
to the inevitable is wonderful. Let us do
what is right, and believe that good will
come of it.-Catholic Telegraph.

A DIsousrED y (PERHAPs) REFORM
ED "DENocRAr."- Judge Campbell, Of
virginia-by some pleasantly and affec-
.iona,ely known as Will Campbell-ac-
knowledges that /" Democracy" is played
out. He says so! We do not hear that
he has said he would quit the concern ;
but he comes near that promise, when he
announces his disgust with the party.
Now the Judge is a sensible man ; and a
young man too. He is smart. We might
say, he is brilliant! He and Bill Ander-
son are the only takers they have in the
Democratic ranks in Storey county to-
day. Mitchell is of no account. Pleas
ant little fellow. but no sa6s to him. The
Judge is a stout minded individual, Of
good character and gentlemanly conduct.
He is Of the opinion that it is time for him
to leave the crew or officers mess of the
Copperhead scull- boat. We don't believe
that his friend Judge Pitzer, fascinating
political frater as he is, can keep Campbell
out of the Union ranks another year.
Yes, Pass that man in Guard" the Union
officer of the day will have to shout: THE
Campbells are coming" into our camp
ring the bells! And then it will be no
use for Pitzer and Tod Robinson and Til
ford to sing-over the line-from the OPP
posite. well-nigh deserted camp /: Willie,
we have myssed. you" Pitzer and Tod
will stay long enough to bury Tilford, and
then make a break themselves, with a flag
of truce, for Government quarters.

PYRAMID LAKE INDrANs.-We learn
from Captain Stone, one Of our old Indian
hunters and civilizers. that Mr.. Howard,
the Sub-1ndian Agent, has just returned
from o visit to the Pyramid Lake Indians,
where he had gone with supplies for the
Government Reservation. There are
about one hundred Piute Indians on the
Reserve, under the command of Young
Winuemucca. The blankets and pro-
visions, being several wagon loads, were
very acceptable to the Indians, and we
are assured that the Indians are very
thankful to the Government for them.
There is plenty of game, and also fish, in
the neighborhood Of the Pyramid Reser-
walton, which, with the Government sup.
plies, will make it wholesome for the
Indians this Winter.

The KENTUCKY DIFFICULTY. - Our
readers are aware that there Is another
" difficulty" in Kentucky, and the negro
Of course is at the bottom Of it-though
the Kentuckisns say General Palmer is.
Not long since, Governor Bramlette and
the Hon. Green Clay Smith-both loyal
men-appealed to the President and the
Secretary Of War to have General Palmer
removed from the military command oil
the State-rot. as they said, that they had
any personal objections to him. but simply
on the ground that his course and policy
towards the colored people and slars' gave
great dissatisfaction to the slaveholding
and semi-secesh population Of the State.
Kentucky, they commended, was still a
slave State and had slave laws, and Gen.
Palmer did not seem to recognize these
facts 70 an extent which accorded we'll
with the honor and dignity Of the proud
Commonwealth known as the State OF
Kentucky. Not that they cared anything
about it; but Il didn't look well. That
seemed to be about the way they put the
question. The truth 10. and the trouble
is: General Palmer is a little too "~earnest"
to suit the Kentuckians-except the true
Union men. who are in a small minority
and therefore his removal is requested.

sYsrEM AND ORDER.

The helter-skelter day Of Nevada, or. at
least, Of Storey county mining has passed
and gone. Method. real, intelligent skill
full management takes the place of ire
sponsible and ignorant direction in our
minimizing excavations and hoistings. There
are now regular plans canvassed and
adopted for the prosecution Of mining
work, and results from this or that days
work are calculated with pretty close &C.
curacy. To so fine q point has come the
grand, staple business of the country.
Stocks, may 90 down, down, down; the
perfectly and permanently adapted build
ings for carrying on the work 60 up, up,
up = it would seem in ratio with the de-
crease Of market prices of feet or shares.
More has been learned and put in prac-
lice concerning mining, by the pioneers Of
Nevada, during the past four or FIVE years,
than the world before dreamed of from
the basis of It's elaborate, professional
mining treatises. Our mills are superior
in their workings Of ordinary ore, over
the manipulations Of the contrivances we
accepted when we came here, as the best
results Of all former experiment, study
and use, as is the -four mill of to-day over
the pestle and mortar Of the Egyptian
wheat Washers. Some species of ore, it is
true, are best worked by the German pro-
cess ; though we have assurance that even
the Frieburg style Of barrel tossing and
eliminating is to be superseded by Grim's
new rustler. 4 couple of years since no.
thing was more uncertain than the return,
the income product of a given mine. Now,
nothing is more susceptible Of monthly
advance estimate,-unless entirely new
drifts be started or prosecuted. No
farmer can tell Of his harvest with the GER
tainty Of the superintendent and FORE
mans guess at the thirty days yield Of a
principal Gold Hill mine. When the new
Chollar and Savage and Yellow Jacket
works are in full operation, we may begin
our regular tally from moon to moon.
And with a Branch Mint established at
Carson (when y the absolute product OF
Nevada in bullion and specie will be on
the Bankers calendar throughout the
globe. These things are, and are to be.
We are panied at the unnecessary, because
we believe it is the unreasonable, despon-
dency that prevails among the people OF
these adjacent communities. Matters are
getting into shape now-a-days,-a shape
that will do for q whole State to run on.
So il Reese. Speculation, prospecting
enterprise will walk abroad and find new
lodges, found new districts to be brought,
after the pattern here, to nice conducting.
By and by the big silver bullion beds OF
the land will repeat a constant, scarcely
varying story from year to year, and all
manner Of substantial civilization will
grow directly from Nevada as the ac-
knowledged cash corner stone Of the
Republic.

SAN. BowLEs, of the Colfax party,
makes the following appeal, through the
columns Of the Springfield Republican
The first third of the Pacific Railroad
line, from the Missouri river to the Rocky
Mountains, is mere baby-work. Three
hundred men will grade it as fast as the
iron can be laid. 1t is q level, natural
roadway, with very little bridging, and no
want Of water. 1t is q shame all this sec
ton is not finished and running already.
The first of January, 1857, ought now to
be the limit for its completion. Next
Spring should see as many men at work
on the eastern line as there will be on the
western /; the Fall, fifteen to twenty thou
sand along its entire route 1867 should
count fifty thousand shovels and picks and
drills, leveling the paths for this national
highway; and in 1868 the hungry hearts
of these people of the Pacific states should
dance to the music Of q hundred thousand
strong-music sweeter far and holier even
than that Of all the martial bands of the
new Republic. Men of the East! Men
at Washington You have given the toll
and even the blood Of a million Of your
brothers and fellows for four years, and
spent three thousand million dollars, to
rescue one section Of the Republic from
barbarism and from anarchy and your
triumph makes the cost cheap. Lend now
a few thousand Of men, and a hundred
millions of money, to create a new Re,
public ; to marry to the Nation of the At
iantic an equal if not greater Nation Of
the Pacific. Anticipate a new sectional
ism, a new strife, by a triumph Of the arts
Of Peace, that shall be even prouder and
more reaching than the victories Of your
Arms. Here is payment of your great
debt here is wealth unbounded; here
the commerce Of the world; here the COM
pletion Of a Republic that is continental;
but you must come and take them all
with the Locomotive!
