correspondent writes:
Speaking Of Governor Brownlow, he is in
very feeble health. and shall not be surprised
if he does not live long. Yet his iron will and
his inaexible loyalty are quite as evident as
ever. A characteristic incident occurred the
on his return from Johnston's army, called up
on His Excelency. The Governor, rccogni

OF what consequence are the means?
Mr.. Stanton has been greatly de-
nounced for his violent measures
against the liberties of speech, the
press and the person. He trampled
under foot these great rights in the
pursuit of his great end, and he sue
ceeded. On the other hand, MI.
Davis paid the most scrupulous
regard to all the prophecies of Magma
Charta, and he failed. If the rights
of persons and of property, if
the musty nonentities of Magma
Charta had Seen utterly disregarded
and forgotten, and national inde-
pendence had been pursued with
an eye single to its attainment, and
a hand firm to its purpose, if less
regard had been paid to Individual
liberty and more to national inde-
pendence; if these Southern States
could have a Stanton in their War
Department, with their Lees, Jack
sons and Johnstons in the field. the
United States might have had as
many Grants and Shermans as there
were first and last commanders to the
Army of the Potomac, and this day
would have witnessed the Confede-
racy a nationality. But Mr.. Stanton
had served his country in all that he
can be of service; now he is in the
way of that country's unity. Let
him retire, and when we have another
war, may he be the Secretary.

Quartz Sales and Prospects.


From reliable sources we are informed that
large sales of Boise and Owyhee quartz has
taken place in New York, within the last six
weeks.
Mr.. Bates, who purchased some interests
here last Winter, has made sale of portion
of his interests to New York capitalists for
the nice little sum of $500, 900 in greenbacks.
Mr.. Waddingham, we are also informed,
has sold, his interests, or such as he was in
trusted with, for the sum of $25O,OO0 We
learn in connection with this sale, that the
LION of the DALE claims nice little percent
age for the use of his name, but are satisfied
that the party having made Mr. Waddingham
their agent, utterly refused to have anything
to do with him.
Mr.. Collin Robbins, of Owyhee, writes to a
friend in that county, stating that he has sold
his quartz to good advantage without diff
Guilty. Mr.. Johnson, of CentervilIe, in this
county, also writes encouragingly.

POLITICAL SUICIDE.

-
- the Long Hairs, and the converts known
as Short Hairs are taking each other by
the hair in California with vim and
ferocity truly refreshing, considering that
they embody all the patriotism of the
country. The old liners complain that in the
distribution of offices they have for some
years been left out in the cold, while those
who denounced and prosecuted them FIVE or
six years ago are growing fat on the public
plumber accruing from the coalition. Com
motion is exhibited in every county. 10
Shasta the straight Republicans threaten to
run a straight Republican ticket-ditto in
Tehama county ditto in Amador; ditto in
several other counties. The Marysvlle APP
peal denounces portion OF the "Union''
party as " worse than the copperheads,' which
is refreshing indeed as the notorious copper
heads were supposed to be the most atrocious
of men. The war is conducted with as
venomous hatred as has been shown against
the Democracy. The Shasta Pioneer allud-
ing to the petition of the Republicans in that
county to hold separate Convention from
the balance of the Union party says:
"We are in favor of allowing all who SYM
pathize with the correspondent to call Con-
vention, nominate their candidates, &C., and
as soon as they are through, we are in favor
of arreSting every person who has any con-
nection with tue affair, and sending them 10
hell or Alcatraz for giving laid and comfort
to the common enemies of the country. The
Union" party is stiIlin the field, Mr.. ere
pub" and we advise you and all your kind
to soak your heads" and wait awhile"
The old line Republicans must feel highly
delighted with their. associates They begin
to feel the sting of their own weapons. From
the prospects we think they will learn m UGH
within couple of years.
They have made idols and they will find
them clay. But it sounds strangely TO
hear the organs of the ,"Union party
threaten each other with Alcatraz, or a worse
place. The new phase in politics is rapidly
becoming apparent, and the old story will be
re-told. Every party long numerous and all
powerful passes along the same old road to
sUIcIDE-breaks into factions, dissatisfied
with each other, hating each other worse than
the common enemy. As in California so it is
in Idaho, and throughout the States. The
huge army of the worlds passions are making
sad inroads into the allotted years of the
party which threatens itself with Alcatraz.

To PoETs.-We find the following in the
Colusa Sun. 1t is very appropriate for this
latitude, as an insight in our pigeon holes
would demonstrate. We refer it to our poeti-
cal friends in Idaho and would suggest that
its advice be followed:
LIP. Eve have no doubt in the world
but what your Minnie is an angel-our's was
neither do we blame you for INDUCING in
poetic illusions, for when a fellow is "stuck"
sentimental doggerel flows from him as natu-
raj as water flows down hill and, the best
Of it is the "dear object" always thinks it
good-~sublime We have sheen there"
Your case is fast reaching climax, and we
think parson would be the best medicine
you could take. Go to Minnie, tell her you
love her harder than a mule can kick, ask her
to set a day not more than week off and ia
vite US to the wedding. This is the best way
we know of to get sentimental poetry" out

The North-Idaho Radiator alludes in high
terms to the mineral discoveries which have
been made in the Bitter Root mountains, near
the old Cour d'Alene Mission. The valley Of
the Bitter Root is reported to be settled by
about two hundred people, and it is expected
that the settlement will be naturally enlarged
this Summer BY the arrival of the inmigra-
ton, Miller's Camp is reported to be very
active and hourishing this Spring. Messrs.
Neal, Rice 4 Co., and Pollack & Co., have
completed two large bitches, and two more
will be completed during the Summer, which
will furnish all the water required. The
probable cost of the four bitches is estimated
at $50, 900.
