A VISIT FROM THE FATHER OF Pow
ELL, ALIAS PAYNE.-The Florida Union
says that the afflicted father of Payne,
the ould-be-murderer of Secretary Sc.
ward, has been making visit to jack
sonville In that State. The Union says:
"The father of Payne called on US one
day this week. He resides on planta-
ton three miles from Live Oak Station,
on the Pensacola and Georgia railroad.
He lost one son at the battle of MUIR
freesboro, another returned home n,aim-
ed for life Lewis was his only hope
in his old age. The afflicted father was
a Baptist minister, as has been stated.
We must necessarily pronounce just the
terrific punishment to the son, but we
cannot withhold our deepest sympathy
for the heart-stricken parent, or esteem
him less as a worthy man and citizen.n

xvw s,rYrY HooE.-We were. to-

A z SAFETY HooK.-We were, to-
day, shown the model of a new safety
hook for usein mines, that is superior to
anything Of the kind we havesever seen.
It was invented and gotten up by Andy
Peasley, of the Crown Point mill. The
hook is Of nearly the shape and proper
tons of Frazer's patent hook, but the
catch is entirely different, and we think
im~measurably safer. The only thing in
which the hook differs from Frazer's is at
the point which is extended into a band
to extend around the lower end Of the
catch, which is grooved to receive it. The
catch is a piece Of bar iron, two-thirds OF
the size of the shank Of the hook, and
from four to seven inches long, in proper
ton to the size of the hook. The upper
end Of the catch is connected to the shank
of the hook by a movable band which
extends around the latter. Below the
band and betwixt the catch and the shank
Of the hook, is a spring which keeps the
former spread from the latter an eighth or
quarter Of an inch. The outer side OF the
lower end Of the catch is rounded so as to
fall within the band at the point Of the
hook as mentioned above, and grooved so
that when the tip passes through it
springs out and is kept there by the spring.
The catch is secure. 1t is impossible TO
move it when once secured-and it will
secure itself by falling and fastening of its
own weight. The catch is simple. II is
not liable to get out Of repair is strong,
and will, we hope, come into general use,
for we believe it would prevent many &C.
cidents which would result from the use OF
defective hooks.
New ROAD AND A SHORT CUT.-Ies-
terday we met Mr.. John Day, Surveyor
of Lyon county, from whom we learn the
following particulars relative to a new
road between V~irginia-or rather Conveys
Station in the canon, and the mines of the
Sand Springs Salt Company : This route,
as surveyed by Mr.. Day, is much nearer,
and saves teams and passengers about
thirty miles. The old route is estimated
at a distance of ninety-three miles and the
new one at sixty one miles, and over a
road much harder and almost void Of sand
and mud. The new road will be styled
the Fort Churchill and Sand Spring Toll
road, and work thereon is being vigor-
ously prosecuted-ffty men being en-
ployed, who will build, grade and COM
plete the work before the Spring travel
shall commence. Already the bridge
across the Carson, at Bucklands. has been
constructed, and every effort is being made
TO command some of the Winter travel.
That this road is Of immense Importance,
cannot be gaInsaid, for it is an authenti.
Gated fact that the Salt from the Sand
Spring mines is now n of the staples Of
Nevada, and contributes largely TO the
economical reduction Of silver OREGON
sequen,ly a less cost of transportation by
a shorter route will reduce the price Of
salt in proportion. Besides, this route,
with an additional road to Mountain
Wells Junction, it is said will shorten the
distance as now travelled to Austin, at
least sixty miles.
