QUESTION OF MINING LAW.

The San Fran cisco Alta of Monday,
publishes the following decision of the
Supreme Court of California in the case of
Cornwall Us. the Burning Moscow Co.:
Plaintiff appeals from judgment on
demurrer. He sues to compel defendant,
mining corporation, to issue to him
stock sufficient to represent one hundred
running feet of the mine claimed by the
defendant. 1t appears, from the allega.
tons of the complaint, that the one hun
bred feet claimed by plaintiff has never
been conveyed to the corporation, and that
no agreement has ever been entered into
between the defendant or those who or
ganiLed the corporation, and any party
having authority to deal with the one
hundred feet in question. for a conveyance
thereof to the company, or for issue Of
stock by the company to the owner
Plaintiff alleges that he has rendered "a
conveyance and demanded the stock
Plaintiff cannot compel a corporation. or
any other company, without some agree
ment to that effect on its part, to accept
him as a member, or to receive his interest
IN the mining ground and issue stock
therefor. If the corporation has faken
possession of any Of his mining ground
without his authority, his remedy is by
action to recover it."
The opinion does not stale the facts full
ly; we presume, however, that Cornwall
owned an undivided interest in what is
known as the Burning Moscow ground
but, for some unexplained reason, did not
Join in the deed which conveyed the mine
to the Company at the time OF its organi-
cation. The Company says in its certlti-
cate of Incorporation that it is formed to
work the Burning Moscow ground, so
many lineal feet, including the plaintiffs
portion. Afterwards Cornwall offered to
convey his interest and receive his proper
ton of stock, but the company demanded
of him in addition to his deed, certain
amount of money equivalent to the assess
ments that he would have had to pay if
he had been a member from the beginning.
He refused and brought suit. We state
these as the presumptive facts. because
such instances are frequent. We cannot
suppose that suit would be brought for
stock unless the plaintiff owned an inter-
est in the ground. 1t seems as if COM
pany, by announcing an intention to work
a certain tract of mining ground, owned
by many persons in undivided interests,
offers to receive as members all the own
ers; but the offer does not stand open
forever, nor can it be accepted without
complying with certain conditions-such
as paying a proper share Of expenses
The language of the Court would imply,
however, that the company may ut any
time refuse to admit any owner in such
case. His remedy lies in suit for par
tition or for damages.

sHERMAN's GRAND MARCH.

The Albany Erening Journal after sum
ming up the events of Sherman's Raid !"
through Georgia, truly observes that the
annals of military history furnish nothing
more remarkable. When the rumor that
he proposed to undertake it was first pub
lished, it was received with a shrug of
iucredulity. Even experienced military
heads regarded the enterprise as hazardous
if not fool-hardy, while journalistic critics
learnedly cited the disaster of Napoleon in
Russia as precedent to the folly attribut-
ed to Sherman. And yet the march Of
eight hundred miles through the heart of
the enemy's country, where hostile pop
ulation was to be encountered, where
considerable armies were 10 be confront
ed, and where formidable rivers were to
be crossed, was undertaken and trium-
phantly completed. And this distance
was traversed in less than four weeks,
with a loss of less than two thousand
men, without losing a wagon or a piece
of artillery, and without encountering op-
position that arrested his march a single
dav. When we add that he overrun
for.y-two counties, captured 1000 pris-
oners, 10000 negroes, $4,000 horses, and
80 pieces of artillery; that he destroyed
over two hundred miles of railroad, and a
vast number of mills, foundries, store
houses, that in short he desolated belt
of country at least fifty miles wide, and
demolished some of the chief depots of
supplies for the rebel armies, we have
given but a faint outline of the work ac-
cOmpIshed. No wonder the rebel prints
are in the dumps; no wonder terror and
despair are in the hearts of the enemy.

Of Porter and Lee.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Navy
Department has received the following
from off Fort Fisher, dated January 10th,
to Wells: Fort Fisher is ours. send q
bearer of dispatches with brief account
of the affair. General Terry is entitled to
the highest praise and gratitude of his
country for the manner in which he has
conducted his part of the operations. He
is nv beau ideal of u soldier and q Gen.
eral. Our cooperating has been most
cordial, and the result is victory which
will always be ours when navy and army
go hand in hand. The navy loss in the
assault was heavy. The army loss will be
also heavy. (SigneD PORTER.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Richmond
Wing of this morning, contains the fol-
lowing: The unwelcome news of the
fall Of Fort Fisher, commanding the en-
trance to Cape Fear river, was made known
this morning, and occasioned sensation
Of profound regret. The capture of the
Fort is equal to the closing of the harbor
of Wilmington by the enemy's feet. II
is situated about eighteen miles below the
CITY, but was the main defense of the en-
trance to the river. Its fall will prevent
in future the arrival and departure OF
blockade runners. How far this re-
verse may prove injurious to our cause
remains to be seen. At present we re-
gard it as rather an unfortunate than dis
astrous event.
The following is the official report;
HEADQUARTERS, Jan. 16.-To Sedden
Bragg reports that the enemy bombarded
Fort Fisher furiously, all day yesterday
At four o'clock P. VI. their infantry adj
vanced to the assault. A heavy demon
stration at the same hour being made
against their rear by our troops. AT hall
past six o'clock, Whiting reported their
attack had failed, and the garrison was
being strengthened with fresh troops. AT
about ten o'clock P. N. the Fort was cap
rured with most of the garrison. No
further particulars are at this time known.

WITH this view suggest whether II
might not be right, expedient and compe-,
tent for Congress to provide that limited
amount of some future issue ofpublic secu-
rites which might be held by any bona tide
purchaser, exempt from taxation and from
seizure for debt. under such restrictions
and limitations as might be necessary to
guard against abuse Of so important prl-
yilege. = Presidents Message.
4 great outcry has been raised over
this proposition, by the opposition Press.
Its awkward diction was the least of its
faults. 1t was rascally, special, designed
as secret engine of political power, etc.
It seemed to US a very sensible suggestion,
but we weren't sure we understood the
effect of it, and so kept still. The New
York SockhoIGer says of it:
In every country where the public debt
has increased, it has been the policy OF the
government to offer increased inducements
to capitalists to become owners of national
liabilities. National liabilities must enjoy
in this country, as in every other, such
privilege as to make them favorites with
the public. Their owners must be pro-
tected to q certain extent against the many
risks which other properties are liable to.
Mr.. Lincoln has exhibited true statesman
ship in recommending special legislation
in favor of owners of our national securi-
ties; and the wiseacres who find fault with
such a recommendation, who even have
gone so far as to tax the President Of the
United States with bsd faith and deceit,
have simply exhibited their utter igno-
rance of financial matters.

SANITARY COMMISSION. financial re-
port of the United States Sanitary Com
mission from May, 1861, to Suly /, 1864,
has just been published for the first time
in the columns of the New York World.
1t appears that on the LIST of July last the
total amount OF money received by the
Commission from all sources since its or.
ganizstion in June. 1861, to July, 1864,
was $2,677.9O4 40. The amount ex-
pended was $l,672,507 ~. The balance
in the hands of the Treasurer at the last
named date was $l,0O5,Ss6 6S. The to-
tai cost of supplies purchased during this
period amounts tn $685. 0S 40, while the
cash valuation of the articles received in
kind, as contributions for the soldiers to
the United States Sanitary Commission,
frym June, 1861, to July l, 1864, is set
down at $6,4I8.959 33, making the ag-
gregate cash valuation of all supplies
which have passed through the hands Of
the United States Sanitary Commission,
$,l72.262 IS. The total cost of the dis
tribution of these supplies is stated to be
$266,S0l II, or only three and seventy
six one-hundredths per cent e $4,000
of the value of the supplies distributed.
The statistics of this report correct one
impression which may have been left on
the mind Of the reader, as It was on our
own when we analysed few days ago
the Report of the Western Department Of
the Commission. In presence of these
completed statistics, it will be seen that, in
estimating the ratio Of the supplies dis
tributed to the cost of distribution 1.-THE
latter including all the working expenses
of the Commission), it is not correct to in
clude in the former only the cost of pur-
chased supplies. The cash value Of sup
plies contributed in kind should of course
be included in the first item. The figures
of the report enable US to make this i'm
portant correction in the interest of the
Commissions Report for accuracy.-Ma-
tioaal IntsRigsncer.
