Foreign Papers on the Capture of JEFF.
Davis

Foreign papers by the Africa's mail COM
ment freely on tho capture of jeff. Davis.
All OF them, both English and French, agree
that Davis should not bo hanged. The
Times says the capture of Davis will pro.
ducc feeling of uueasiness and anxiety in
every country in Europe. The inhabitants
Of these islands bavo little reason to sym.
pathzo with Mr.. Davis, and, If wo plead for
bis life, 1t is not from any esteem for his
motives. Iio is known to us as one of the
most inyoterato calumpiators of this coun.
try, whose policy it was TO stir up the feel.
ings OF every class of his countrymen
against us. We remember him as tho au.
thor and originator of tho famous Mssissip
pi scheme. His plan of rebellion was
founded on the idea that the .deprivatons
Of cotton would be found to bo intolerable,
and that. drivon by hard necessity, wo
should be compelled to support tho South
with tho whole empire.
The London Post says that tho absence
Of that material element of all human un.
dertakings, success, alone prevented Davis
from taking his place in after times by the
side Of George Washington.
Tho Daily News says that, if ho wero re-.
sponsible for nothing worse th u tho great
sacrifice of life caused by the rejection of
Mr. binco'n's proposals at Hampton Roads.
the weight OF such load of responsibilities
might break down the stoutest heart.
Davis language and acts, during the few
months preceding his fight from Richmond
disclosed the ruin of his hopes. 1t was
about the time of his reckless Macon speech.
that he began to authorize those atrocious
outrages which made it less difficult to be-.
Iievo his complicity in the plot which result

CnARD0N, Oule, FRIDAY, JUNE I6, 1865.
Notes of The Third Series of 1905 Now
Ready.

The demand for the Second Series of tho
2 80 Notes was so great that the Treasury
Department was unable to print thom with
sufficient rapdity 10 fill the orders. 1t will
be remembered that hundred millions
were subscribed and paid for in single
week. The printing presscs have finally
eurmounted the difficulty, aud, on Wednes
day, June 7th, the deliveries of the Third
Series" commenced, and will be continued
With tho same promptnoss that marked
the supply of the notes of tho irst and sec.
ond series. II has been this interruption of
delivery at tho timo of subscription which
has given an appearance of falling off in
tho popular taking of tho loan,--the great
body Of small takers being unwilling to pay
their money unless they receive their notes
right in hand, to carry them homo. Ii is
expected that, after this week the daily sub.
scriptons to the Seven. Thirtes will run up
into millions, as they will undoubtedly be
stimulated by tho opening of the farmers
wool market East and West. 1t is not at
all likely that the Government will ever
again offer so desirable security as these
notes, and about two hundred millions only
remain to bo takon.
With the close Of tho war tho national OK.
penses will bo vastly reduced, and investors
must look for sharp reduction in tho rate
OF interest as soon as the present loans be-
come duo. and can be paid off. Thoro is no
reason why the United States credit for
mono should ever again fall below it's cred
it for courage. Tho same spirit that pre-.
served tho geographical integrity of the
country will place its pecuniary integrity
on par with that of the most favored ma
tions--and that will represent ratio of in.
terest undor rather than over four por cent.

From tho Galiatin.

EDITOR Posr IL do not make any preten.
SION to be member of the fraternity of the
quill. My vocation lies rather with the
plough and the spade but every man to
MS trade, and as many are interested about
mine,i send you some items that have
picked up in my journey to and from the
uallatln, and also during my stay there,
where hold one stake, and have driven
several to mark its locality. The valley is
about thirty miles long and from twelve to
to fifteen miles in breadth, containing the
East and West Gallatin rivers, and extend.
ing from the Three Forks of tho Missouri
to the base of the mountains, or divide be.
tween the Gallatin and the Yellowstone.
The sun never shons upon a richer or more
beautiful valley in all these mountainst
but only year ago it was untenanted by
any living being, except the beasts Of the
chase or the wandering Indian. Now. il
may be said, all the lands susceptible of ir-
rigation are taken up, and this Spring over
one hundred farms will be cultivated, aver
aging, in titled land, over Is acres; some
are from 80 to 100 acres. Wheat and bar
ley are the vegetables, and roots of many
kinds will also be raised in large quanti-
ties.
There is now running, at the head Of the
Valley saw mill; o grist mill will
be ready to grind this season grass is
everywhere and everywhere good. Hay is
to be had for the cutting, and, in fact,
nothing has prevented the tillage of the
entire valley but the want Of seed. In two
years, l expect that we shall grow enough
to keep you Virginia folks eating the year
round: At the Bozeman end of the valley
there is snow ten to fifteen inches in depth;
but the middle and lower end have only
about three inehes-there was none till tho
last storm. Gallatin needs only few more
men OF the same sort as the present occu-
pants, to enable her to compete with the
old settlements in produce and appearance.
Through the valley lies the most direct
line to Fort Benton, crossing the divide
between the Gallatin range and the Mis-.
souri,. Neither is the locality deficient in
minerals, for in the Crow Creek country,
at the foot of the valley, and in Confeder-
ate Gulch, gold has been discovered, and
the prospects are as rich as in other and
better known localities. Quartz, also is to bs
found in the neighborhood, and many leads
have been struck, but as am farmer, /
have more to do with .plough in the hand,o
than "Quartx ON the Brain"
At another time may have some infor-
nation of a precise kind, as to the extent
of crops, amount of stock, &c., which
shall be glad to make public through the
medium of your paper. Till then, good
bye. Yours, &C.,

every indication that the mining vicinity
will eventually prove one of the richest
sources from which wealth may be acquired.
AS yet nothing has been proven, and
our hopes are only excited by assays made
from shafts on the different leads, VARYING
from fve to twenty-five feet in depth. Some
persons here, with fine imaginations, who
are somewhat troubled with disease called
quartz on the braino maintain the idea
that our new district must be highly praised,
not caring for the plain points of truth, but
coloring the story to meet their own wishes.
The object is to toll capital into the country.
In my opinion, the speculation is but alot-
terry, and believe that some NAV draw
prizes, still truth unvarnished should be
given to the public, and speculation urged
only by facts. By this course our district
will the sooner be tested, and its riches
proven. The country is not thoroughly
prospected, and there is room for a great
many rich things to be found yet. There
is but little doing here at present, on ac-
count of cold weather and deep snow. The
last excitements were, Ibelieve, the German
gulch stampede, and meeting of some dis.
affected citizens, called for the purpose of
repeating the act of our legislature relating
to the Silver Bow town incorporation. The
meeting was but gathering of rabble, who
coming to the conclusion that the legisla-
ture would not recognize their act of repeal
adjourned sine die.
The weather still holds its own, and that
oton is cold and cutting. Some persons
here endeavored to get up an Indian scare.
but failed entirely.
The morals of our town are good. Fights
do not occur ofterner than one per day, and,
as yet, no one has been shot or killed.
which fact speaks we'll for the camp.
must now close. Should this letter meet
with your approval, you can publish it,Iand
if you wish it, l will write again.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
