How Our MILITARY RESOURCES HAVE IN
CREAsED.-A few facts from the report of the
Secretary of War show how immensely our
military resources, or means for keeping an
army supplied with the material of war,
have. increased since the rebellion commenc-
ed. The Secretary says the Springfield
armorv alone can furnish three hundred
thousand muskets annually, nearly three
fourths of the whole number required. The
ordnance department furnished, from June,
1868, to June, 1864, one thousand one hun
dred and forty-one pieces of cannon, which
is onlv two hundred more than we have ta-
ken from the rebels since December; seven
million and a half pounds of powder, two
million proiectiles for cannon, seven million
and half pounds of bullets and lead. The
military railroads constitute most wonder
full feature of the gigantic machinery for
moving an army. Under the, sueprinten-
dence of Gen. COLON more than one thous
and miles of railroad have been built or re-
built, after their destruction by the rebels, at
a cost of eleven million of dollars. Six thous
and and five hundred miles of military tele-
graph has been in operation, requiring the
force of thousand persons. Five hundred an
imals are destroyed every day, and that con-
sequently is the rate of supply. The caval'
ry of the Potomac army was twice remount-
ed during the first eight months of this fiscal
year.

COL OULD.-It is stated that the rebel ex-
Commissioners of exchange, Col. Ould and
Major Hatch, have been arrested in Rich
mond by Gen. Grants order, upon charge
of having misappropriated little item of
$500. 900 which was entrusted to them for the
relief of our prisoners then held in the
South. The spirit which has actuated Col
Guilds treatment of our brave fellows, and
the management of this exchange question,
is exhibited in letter now before US, in his
own handwriting, addressed to Brig. Gen.
Winder. under date of City Point, March
18th. 1868. In this letter Col Ould says:
'.The arrangements | have made flor ex-
changing prisoners) works largely in our IA
vor. Weget rid Of a setcf miserable lcretches,
and receive some of the best material ever
saw
Such language as this is precisely what
might have been expected from stakeholder
and one who had been accustomed to estimate
human flesh according to its value in dollars
and cents. 1t was not in accordance with
Col. Ould's designs to let our poor soldiers
come back to us as anything but miserable
wretches," and it is not strange, therefore,
that he should have oonnived at making
some other than the proper disposition of the
missing $500, ,000.-N. 7. Times, May oh.

BooTU's OIL 1t will be re-

BooTH's OIL OPERATIoNs.-It will be re-
collected that stories were af1oat to the ef-
feet that Booth, the assassin, had accumula-
ted much money by operations in oil. The
New York Times has no faith in the stories
1t saws that the murderer of President Lin.
coin was found so well supplied with money
for several months before the assassination,
that he found it necessary to account for his
highly solvent pecuniary condition by repre-
senting himself as a speculator in oil stocks.
This story might have passed unchallenged
but for the untoward discovery of his broth
er's (J. B. Booth's) letter, demonstrating
against his continuing in the oil business, at
ter Richmond had been taken. Here was the
first cue to the money problem. And we
shall learn anon.how it was worked and fol-
lowed up to the discovery of the murderer's
financial operations in the Ontario Bank of
Montreal-a bank, our readers must remem.
ber, where the St. Albans plunder was de.
posted, while Booth was in Montreal-the
same bank, moreover, whose cashier handed
over the stolen money, after business hours.

Mr.. DOUGLAS OPINIoN OF PRESIDENT
LINcoLN.-I can never forget, and have
often narrated an incident which took place
in New York when Judge Douglas became a
candidate for re election to the Senate, and
7hen he was opposed by the Republicans
I'D by the whole force of the Buchanan ad-
ministration. 1t was in the Spring of 1858
when called on the Judge, who was then
staying with Mrs. Douglas at the st. Nicholas
Hotel. He was preparing for the canvass
with great zeal, and knew he had great
struggle before him. The intelligence had
just reached him that his Republican compet-
itor would be Abraham Lincoln. While re-
alizing that this fact only added to his own
doubts of the result, he seemed to be fattered
that his opponents had put forward their
best man. Holding Mr.. Lincoln's well
known, and for long time much abused,
but not the less prophetic, speech in his hand
that speech in which he shocked the slave
despots by declaring that this nation must
be O. all free or all slave''-with this remark
able production in his hand, he proceeded to
pay high tribute to Mr.. Lincoln. He said
he was the leading man of his party, the
most difficult man to meet and match on the
stump, and the most skillf1l and thoughtful
statesman of his school. 1t is unnecessary to
do more than refer to the resulting debate
between these intellectual wrestlers. II it
ended in making Douglas Senator, it placed
in bold relief before the nation the future
President of the United States.-J. W.
Forney.

A PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS IDEA.-A SOL
der of Pennsylvania regiment who was
wounded at the battle of Charlottesville and
left on the field. afterwards related his adyen.
lures to his colonel. When the tide of bat.
tie had swept past the spot where he lay. a
rebel soldier came to him and took away his
canteen, his haversack, his musket and
accoutrements, and finally demanded his
coat and shoes. st this the Pennsylvania
at first demurred, but was forced to submit.
Thereupon ensued a conversation: "Where
do you belong2" asked the rebel. 'sTo
Pennsylvania, " was the reply. !" And what
are you doing down here in Virginia ?'
Veil | comes down here to fight" said the
unlucky Bucks county man. "To fight,

what business have you here in Virginia 2"
The question might have been poser for
some, but the brave Dutchman replied,
Well, fights NIT Uncle Sam, and Uncle
Sam he goes efryvere."

The New York correspondent of the Boston

" Corbett, who shot Booth, is well known

at the Fulton Street Meeting, and greatly
annoyed it by what was considered his fan

his prayers was in the habit of adding . er"

Clear Creek Mining District.
A prominent citizen of Los Angeles has
favored us with the following:

Pi'iione cIliZen VI LoS hnSeieo Hao
favored us with the following:
A gold mining district of amazing rich
ness is being developed eight miles north of
Walkers basin, in or about the line divid-
ing Los Angeles county from Tulare. This
locality, so rich in gold quartz, extends in
the direction of Walkers pass over large
area of country. The discoyerers and their
friends have been quietly picking up the
best lodes for nearly twelve months; about
four hundred lodes are on record, and the
miners number about five hundred. A new
city called Havilah is being built and build
ing lots arein estimation ..at from fifty dol
lsrs to three hundred and fifty dollars each.
Three small five stamp mills are at work
night and day, grinding rock that yield from
the surface from fifty to three hundred and
fifty dollars per ton. The lodes do not pinch
but widen and improve in quality as they are
worked deeper, indicating permanency OF
character quite unusual in the history OF
gold quartz lodes. Several mills are order
ed and on the way. expect to see one hun
dred mills in the district before one year
from this date The district is abundantly
supplied with good water and plenty of the
most useful timber, such as pine, oak, etc.
Old and experienced miners think it the
richest and most extensive gold quartz
mines ever discovered richer than Washoe
but much more extensive and with much
better facilities. The district is one hun
dred and thlrty-two miles from Los Angeles.
The enterprising forwarding house of Tom
linson & Co., have already put on a line of
stages fare sixteen dollars.
Parties interested propose to open good
wagon road to Clear Creek which will also
be a better road to Owens river through
Walkers pass than the one now travelled
over the desert. The Supervisors of Los An
geles have advanced one thousand dollars to
aid in constructing this road and the citizens
of Los Angeles and the miners themselves
propose to raise by private subscription the
balance necessary for that object, and meas
ures will be taken to commence the work at
once, when line will run through every
twentyfour hours.
The miners of Clear Creek are the most
moral and steady class of men ever seen in
the mines of California they do not permit
gambling or drunkenness, the most perfect
order reigns. They have ordered off, hur
redly, seventeen sports.
Our citizens will also be called upon to
contribute towards constructing the road
from Los Angeles to Clear Greek Messrs.
Griffith, Keller and Winston are a commit
tee appointed by the Supervisors of Los An
geles county to cooperate with the citizens
of Clear Creek and otherwise solicit subscrlp-
tions for the construction of road to be free
to all.

NEGRO IDEAS OF Misunderstanding to the

NEGRO IDEAS OF misunderstanding to the
Eastern journals, General Hartsuff, COM
manding at Petersburg, Va, has begun to
experience the dangers of the released ne
groes misapprehending their position and
their duties. Many of them, it appears, are
already hugging the delusion that with
their liberty they acquire individual rights
in the property of their former owners, and
that they are entitled to live with and be sup
ported by them without being obliged to Ia
bor.n Not the least painful feature IN this
state Of things at Petersburg, comes of the
fact that these emancipated slaves are en-
couraged in this view of their rights by lgno'
rant white men, who have made themselves
apostles of the doctrine-which is by no
means confined to small class-that the ne
groes must be protected and defended N

SUNSHINE COMES TOMORROW.
BY FRANK W. POTTER.

Here's lasting truth to learn,
Ye that trouble borrow;
Though thy path be dark to-day,
Sunshine comes tomorrow
True, the skies of Summer fade,
Die the Summer flowers
And stern Winter rudely brings
Dark and gloomy hours.
Yet the Spring shall come again
With all its kindly glances,
And again the Summer'll bloom
AS the year advances.
Then the birds shall warble songs
In the sunny meadows;
Brsnches waving in the breeze.
Cast on earth their shadows.
Soon the light of holy truth
Errors band shall sever;
Meath its rays shall wrong grow right,
Peace descend forever.
Then this lesson wisely learn,
1t will heal your sorrow,
That however dark the day,
Sunshine comes tomorrow

INsTINCT.-The most remarkable instance
of preservation from death, the result of an
unerring and uncomfortable instinct, occur
red in this way. Napoleon was inordinately
addicted to the luxury of snuf-taking. On
one occasion, being suddenly called out of
Paris, he left the sale d'audience somewhat
abruptly, forgetting his favorite tsnuf- box,
which was lying on..the mantel-piece. Busi-
ness ofimportance detained him at Fontain-
bleau for several days, and on his return to
the Tuilleries, the first object that attracted
his attention was the forgotten snuff box,
which lay precisely in the same spot where
he had left it. He took it up, seemed to
hesitate little, and then turning to an aide
de-camp, who was standing few PAGES
from him, requested that officer to open the
Dor, alleging inability to perform the act
himself. The officer complied with alacrity,
and upon the lid flying open, he fell dead
upon the floor. A subtle poison, known only
to the most abstruse and experienced che
mist, had been introduced for the purpose of
destroying the life of the Emperor, who only
escaped the inhuman sacrifice of an inno-
cent person. After that memorable occasion,
Napoleon was never known to carry snuff
box again, but invariable used his vest pock-
ct as depository for the pulverized article.
