Matters and Things at OWyhee.

SILVER CRY, Owyhee Co., Feb. 10, 1866.
ED. WORLD Your correspondent for this
q neck of the woods !" having waited long
time for something to sturn up in the way
of items, wherewithto entertain the rest
of mankind, !" has come to the sage concln-
sion that everything in that line has frozen up
and showed under, and that we comprise a
world of our own, surrounded by barrier
Of snow as formidable as the Chinese wall.
Whew, how it SHOWS here. Last week, we
mad fine weather-warm and sunny; every
body said Winter has broke" but in one
night, what change and since that time,
we have experienced the toughest weather
during the winter. The snow, in the streets
of our town, is from eight to twelve feet
deep, and more coming. The weather is not
cold
To-day, some of the Indian hunters re-
turned, About two weeks ago, some forty
or fifty men left here in pursuit of the Indians
who made the raid on the lower part of
Jardan Creek. No Indians were seen, nor
anything seen or heard Of McCommins, the
Humboldt Expressman, or Mr.. Gregory,
who are supposed to have been captured BY
the Indians.
Our quartz prospects continue to increase
in extent. The opinion, entertained by many,
that our lodges were so narrow as as to make
il a matter of doubt whether they wotld pay,
is fast being dispelled. The Orc Elmo is
from four to six feet wide'a and no diminution
in richness. The Allison has increased to
over eleven feet wide; the Florida to over
fourteen feet, and the reck in both of the
latter is said to be rich; and some other
hedges open WE'LL with good width and good
rock.
The citizens here are quiet and orderly,
enjoying themselves at parties and dancing
schools, of which we nave three in full blast
and we'll attended taught by Messrs. Frank
lin u McCleary. There is a party here on
the tapis the 22d instant-that is if the storm
King don't repudiate.
l hear that cattle are suffering for food in
Pleasant Valley Flower Jordan Creek Sinker
Greek, and Castle Creek and portions of the
low hills in Snake River Valley afford good
pasturage this winter-but little snow there.
The grass in the Fall was fine. heard that
several Indians have lately been killed in that
vicinity, which will probably render it quite
safe to those who are herding stock there.

SONG OF THE MINER.
BIZ J. PEACOCK.

Far down in the depths of the sombre mine,
Pentup from the glory of light,
I'VE burrow in holes
Like rabbits and modes,
Through the shades of eternal night.
We blast and we bore through the coal-black rock
Where times many wonders are seen,
And work in the wake
OF the old earthquake,
Where mighty volcanoes have been.
The secrets Of earthin her chamber 80 dark,
We strive eFermore to unfold;
From caverns beneath,
Whose poisons we breathe,
Webring up vast treasures Of gold
Neglected and sighted forsall that we do,
We dig, dig along. till we die,
Through fire, food and gloom,
While the earths dark womb
Gives echo to many sigh.

The English editors are inclined to think
that our generals are better skilled in speech
making than in military science. The great
majority of them, it strikes us, are poor sticks
at either The speech making generals, es-
pecially, are of no kind of importance in a
military way. Great generals have not often
been speech-makers. Who could imagine a
Napoleon, or Charles the Twelfth of Swe-
den, making harangues to their soldiers? It
takes such fellows as General John Cochrane,
or General Dick Busted, or General Dan
Sickles, or General Francis Meagher, to
speechify in the presence of an army. Henry
~. of France, was model of brevity in front
of soldiers. At the battle of Ivry he impress
-sively remarked:
"Enfans, je suisvotre Roi, vous etes Fran
co.'s, viola pennemi; don nous"

men. Behold the enemy, let US charge

"Judging by the recent canvass and its re-
suits, the purpose of the people within the
loyal States to maintain the integrity of the
Union was never more firm, nor more nearly
unanimous than now. The extraordinary
calmness and good order with which the mil
lions of voters met and mingled at the polls
gave strong assurance of this. Not only
those who supported the Union ticket social
ed, but great majority of the opposing party
also, may be fairly claimed to be actuated by
the same purposes. 1t is an unanswerable
argument that no candidate for any office
whatever, high or low, has ventured to seek
votes on the avowal that he was for giving up
the Union."-[ President Lincoln's Message

WHAT IS A WOMAN ?-Victor Hugo, whe
has been at immense expense to popularize
himself as poet with the female sex, goes
much further, because he goes much deeper,
than the NEST malignant saint in the calendar
in his physiology of women. A woman, .
observes this amiable heir of the Provence
bards, I" a woman is simply highly improved
style of demon" Alexander Dumas, the
younger, with whom pulmonary consumption
is the only female religion, has uttered great
many outrageous impertinences concerning
women. " Heaven" he exclaims, in its
mereitul providence gave no beard to women,
because it knew they could not hold their
tongues long enough to be shaved" For
the sake of women" saysthe same individual,
"men dishonor themselves, kill themselves;
and in the midst of this universal carnage,
the creature who brings it to pass has only
one thought in her mind, which is to decide
whether she shall dress herself so as to look
like an umbrella or like dinner bell"

SPECULATION is abroad as to what Stanton
will do when stripped of the robes of Office.
We have no idea what the wretched man will
do; but, for his benefit, we will quote the
words of the great turk, Haleb Al Nagra /;
who, when he was asked what was the most
excellent thing in man, replied, Sense"
But if he has none, what is his next best ?
q Honesty" replied Haleb. And if he has
not that? The counsel of his friends"
And if he has none of these things, what
then? +" A sudden death as soon as possible"
IF Stanton finds wisdom in the last words of
the great Turkish doctor, his afflicted country
will have reason to rejoice.-LOld Guard.
