THE EVENING NEWS.

FIRExEN's NESTING. Last evening,
our sable friend Sam, with bell and lungs,
made it known to the 6remen of Virginia
that meeting would be held at the En-
CINE House of Virginia Co. No. l, at half
past o'clock P. N. At that hour and the
place aforesaid, quite crowd of fremen
assembled, and were called to order by
Mr.. Charles Wilson, President of the Viz
ginia Fire Department, who, upon assum-
ing the Chair, stated that he was unaware
for what purpose the meeting was called,
and would like to be enlightened upon
the subject matter of business to be trans
acted. Peter Larkin, Esq, Chief of the
Department, was also anxious to know for
what purpose the 6remen of Virginia had
been called together. Mr.. Broadhead
stated that he understood the object to be
a desire on the part of members OF the
Department to secure their immunity
from jury duty, and that the meeting was
called to enable members to give public
expression to their views relative to the
late infringement on their rights by the
Legislature. Mr.. Birdsall replied that the
Board of Delegates, at late meeting, had
taken action in the premises, and he
thought that call for any indignation
meeting until the Legislature had taken
action as 70 the requested amendment to
the jury law, was of itself self-evident
abSurdity. He believed that such amend
ment as was necessary to exempt all fire.
men from jury duty would undoubt-
eddy be made by our worthy law-givers,
and believed that all the necessary
steps in the matter had been taken, and
that it only required little time to per-
feet the matter. Mr.. Broadhead assured
the gentleman that no indignation meeting
was intended, but only a meeting to take
sure measures TO protect hremen's rights.
Mr.. BirdSall thought the whole proceed
inss entirely uncalled for and unnecessary.
Mr.. Hardy thought that some speedy &C.
ton was necessary. Mr.. Shea wished to
inform the meeting that he had conversed
with Mr.. Winton. who had just returned
from the capital, and he assured him that
the requested amendment would doubt
less be adopted BY the Legislature. Mr..
Hastings deemed 70 further action neces
sary, and moved an adjournment. The
motion was withdrawn at the request OF
the Chair. The Char was almost certain
that the matter would be promptly at
tended to, and believed the action of the
Board of Fire Delegates was all that was
necessary to produce the required result.
Some further remarks were made OF like
tenor. and Secretary McDougal read a
letter from Mr.. ,Peasley, Seargant-at-Arms
of the Senate, stating that 1t was his be-
lief that the Legislature would at an early
dav pass the wished for amendment. Up
on motion, the meeting adjourned SINE die.
fit is the opinion of your reporter that
such actions will tend to injure the just
demand of exemption of fremen from jury
duty, and l trust no more "calls Will
be made.
STRUCK IT. Yesterday the Cresus
Company, whose mine is located on the
Divide between Gold Hill and Virginia,
and southwest a short distance from the
"Chollar ground" struck very fine body
of black sulphurets of silver at the SIX
hundred feet level of their mine. The
ore was found in the west drift, at dis
lance of one hundred and twenty feet
from the shafts about four feet in width
and pitching sharply to the east. The
vein was drifted across, and drift due
north is now being run, and considerable
quantities of the ore is being hoisted. We
are always glad to chronicle such strikes
as conclusive proof of our future pros
perity.
GRAND BALL.-Young America Engine
Co. No 2, of Virginia, will give their an
nual ball at the Music Hall, on Wednes-
day the 18th of March. When two's fell
lows start to do anything, they are bound
10 be little ahead of all competitors, and
it is safe to predict that the proposed ball
will be one of the finest affairs of the sea-
son. The gentlemen in charge of the
matter will spare no pains to make all
their guests happy, and the finest music,
finest hall, finest ladies, and best fremen
in the State, will doubtless contribute to
the deserved result.

CONSEQUENTLY our item of yesterday
relative to the value of ore from the mines
in the new Truckee District, we stated the
value of six ounces of metal to be two
dollars and twenty-seven cents. We
should have said it assayed at the rate Of
two hundred and ten dollars and twenty
seven cents per ton. Of course we are
willing TO receive any apology from MIR.
