wAsHoE BEEF.

The meat markets of Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia have been we'll supplied with fat
beef and mutton during this winter, which
is more of blessing than is vouchsafed to
the people over in California, if the reports
are true which we read in their newspa-
pers. and hear by the word of mouth from
people who have lately come over. Sew
eral butchers from California were up at
Honey Lake Valley last week buying beef
cattle for their markets and yesterday,
we actually saw butcher from San Fran
cisco, in Gold Hill, making inquiry as to
where he could buy fat cattle for that mar
ket. There are four localities in this
State where butchers get their supplies
from. One is, at Lower Walker river
Valley; Humboldt river Valley; Honey
Lake Valley; and Long Valley. on. the
Hsnness Pass road. The principal sup
plies of beef and mutton for our markets
come from the sections named; but there
are few others towards the Upper Car
son, where stock Is brought from in limit
ed numbers. The present winter has been
very hard on cattle and sheep in Califor-
nia-many thousands having died, while
most of those surviving are entirely unfit
for Strengthening. Grazing, however, is
becoming good in many localities, and rs
spring approaches, the prospect is becom-
ing encouraging both to stock owners and
consumers ofmeat. San Francisco butch
ers coming to Washoe for beef it str likes
US, is certainly new trade.

EIGHTH VETO.

Governor Blasdel's veto of the Act con-
corning foreign Insurance Companies, is
the eighth veto of the session. Most Of
the others have been based upon the
ground of unconstitutionality," and the
Governor has, in most instances, pretty
plainly shown wherein the Constitution
has been violated. In the present in
stance, the constitutional objections were
slight, and could Rave been easily reme-
died, without any change in the character
or effect of the law. These defects would
have undoubtedly been removed, had not
the Governor assumed to differ with the
Legislature on the "poicy of the law.
The members reared up behind and kicked
up before, and swore that the Governor
had "no right " to veto bill on the score
of policy. This is all fam. That he has
such right, there can be no doubt; as to
the propriety, however, Of setting up his
individual opinion in opposition to, and
allowing it to override that Of majority
of both houses of the Legislature there
may be grave question. In the present
instance, as in former cases, the House
passed the bill over the Governors head
with perfect rush; and, for once, we
agree with the Legislature.

Mining District. East Of Austin.

That section of our State bordering on
the Overland road, and from this to the
eastern boundary of the State, bids fair to
equal in mineral wealth the most noted
and favorite sections. The Eureka, For
est, Diamond, Yreka and Eagan Canon
Districts are all near the great Overland
road and in the different ranges of noun
tains or hills between this and the State
line, These districts have all been quite
well prospected-suficien at least to prove
that some as fine lodges exist in them as
ever opened TO the light Of day. At Ea-
gan Canon, a short distance beyond Ruby
Valley, is now mill in successful opera
ration, that has already turned out large
amount of bullion, proving beyond a
doubt the great richness of the veins ope-
rated on. Messrs. Fuller & Co. are nov
erecting another mill, which indicates that
the canon will soon be mining section Of
much Importance, and its regular ship
ment of bullion will form no inconsider-
able in the aggregate of the treasure ship
ments of this State.
Diamond District, lying some ten miles
west of Rubey Valley, is proven to con.
tain number of lodes of great value. Il
was organized but last fall and has beer
but little noticed. We were lately shown
some rock taken from the Silver Wreath
lode, located few weeks since by Mr.
GREY, the Recorder of the district, that i:
exceedingly rich. Several specimens had
been burned, and showed large globules
of silver, proving the existence Of the pre-
cious metals beyond dispute. An assay
of the rock has been made which went al
high as thirteen hundred dollars per ton
| This was considered choice piece, but
the vein, which is over two feet in width
of pay rock, had paid by mill working
some two hundred dollars per ton.
There are several other locations made
the rock from which looks equally well
We understand that arrangements have
been made that will insure the erection Of
a mill in connection with some of thu
lodes of Diamond District, as soon al
spring opens. This will add another to
the already extended list of rich localities
that in another few months will contri'
butte its portion to the silver stream that
will flow through our markets to the sea-

.Dm1rrEp TO 1AlI,
No doubt our readers will Ietnem

No doubt our readers will remember
the circumstance of cold-blo oded MUIR
der, committed about year ago, or less,
in the Texas Saloon, little distance
above the Devils Gate. A poor, hard
working, inoffensiye German, "while in
his cups" but expressing the impulses of
an honest and loyal heart, boldly express
sed himself as Union man and for so
doing, two brothers, named Harvey, in
stigated BY the devil and treason, (about
the same,) murdered the man in cold
blood. The real murderer escaped. and it
was supposed he was subsequently seen
at Laporte. in Sierra county, California.
But the accessory to the foul deed was
caught, and has been incarcerated IN the
county Jail. By the proceedings in the
District Court, at Virginia. yesterday,
Judge Burbank presiding, we notice that
"P. Harvey" was admitted to bail on
his opa rscognizancs, in the sum of %, 900,
to appear for trial at some future time
Now, we do not desire to judge either the
Court or the defendant harshly in this
matter, (the defendant scarcely being res
ponsible for five thousand cents. let alone
dollars but if this Harvey is as guilty of
his completely in the murder as was re-
ported at the time he was caught and con-
fined in the station-house, in Gold Hill,
his release upon his own recognizance will
hardly result in an administration of that
justice which might be expected in the
community where the foul and damnable
murder was perpetrated. 70 be little
more plain, we will say, that if this Har-
vey should feel it inconvenient to appear
for trial when his case is called, which is
not at all unlikely, it need not surprise
the world much if the next murderer, OF
the one acho stands by and a6sts in its per-
petration, should be found swinging at the
end of halter some fine cool morning,
and dancing perhaps on nothing. We
shall see what becomes of the foul murder
committed at the Texas Saloon, above the
Devils Gate.

New YORK, January 24.-The HsralFs
dispatches from Fort Fisher say the feet
and army commenced moving towards
Wilmington on the afternoon of last We'd
nesday. There is no confirmation Of the
report that Terry had occupied that place,
but on the day the movement commenced
explosions in that direction were heard,
and it was supposed that the rebels were
blowing up their Notifications preparatory
to evacuating the town.
The Richmond Enquirer of the goth
says that the silence of the rebel War De-
partment concerning events current in the
South indicates that important move
ments are IN progress. IF Wilmington
falls there will be no panic, though much
SORROW win be felt for the inhabitants.
The idea that there is an immense amount
of cotton stored there is an attractive in
Auence-to say nothing Of that port as a
base-which is now alluring the innova-
tons towards it. There is combination
in the matter, which involves Charleston.
Sherman is on foot. If these places fall,
it will be after the exhibition of much
strategy. Sherman is always at it. We

ADMIRAL FARRAeur.-The New York
Chamber of Commerce have undertaken
to raise 100000 to purchase q residence
in that or some other city, as a testimo-
NAL to Admiral Farragut. That is the
right spirit. The American Government
cannot reward its heroic defenders as do
the Governments of Europe; but the
people can, and ought to. For less dis
tinguished services than Farragut has
rendered, Nelson was lorded and en-
riched BY England, and for less than mill
tary merit displayed by either Grant or
Sherman. Wellington was made the first
man Of his age and had estates voted him
that brought princely annuity for life.
