- NEVADA SILVER MINES.

The Secretary of the Interior ia his last re-
port to ongress, says that il the M mes already
opened in Nevada, "were supplied with the
proper machinery, they would yield len fsil-
lions OF dollars per month" O. one hundred
and tweaty millions year. The whole State
is one immense deposit Of mineral wealth far
exceeding California in capabilities of pros
duction. The mountains and hill! are full of it,
and frequently both gold and silver are found
in such localities mixed together. The pows
er of production of silver mines may be es :
timated by the following statement, taken
from the history of Silver mines in Mexico,
The San Dimas Silver Mine, in Durango,
yielded over $1,000, 900, year for twenty
five years. TIE Zavilion Mine yielded over
500, 000,000 q year. The Paollian Mine
yielded over 100000 per day, giving to
its shareholders over $6,000,0 900 annually.
The Somberate Mine yielded, in about seven
months, some twenty-five years ago, clean
profit to it's shareholders CTS ,000,000 One
mine, San Ayaseo, gave 10 lis sharel olders in
q few years $4,000. 600, and the Galego
Mine, in the year 1929 to 1885, gave $Il, 900,
600 to its shareholders: rI

At a large and Influential meeting
of the citizens of Montgomery county, held on
Monday the 7th day of Angus, 1865, in The

Esqr., being called upon, explained The object
of the meeting in eloquent and impressive
speech, after which he offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which Were unani-
mously adop'ed;
Whereas, We have been informed that an
i'm pressi prevails among the authorities
the Federal Government and among the PEG
pie of the Northern States, that tie people of
Virginia are Inclined to turbulegcs and vo-
| lence and resistance against the Government;
and, whereas it is importsnt to thu speedy re-
storation of peace aud of civil government,

| listing in the South should be properly under
| stood W..
Be it, ther efore, Resolved, That he impress
| sion so existing in regard to the conduct and
sentiments OF the people of Virg MIA is, we

| county are disposed TO accep. the issue of the
| late struggle as a final settlement y. the ques-
| tionofthe maintenance of the Uuiou, and of
| the authority of the Federal Gogernm eat over
| the States of the South. They determined
| toIdiscountaDence any and al efforts to impair
that authority--to yield a:tnfu, obedience
| to the Constitution and laws If hs United
States, aud to cultivate pe,csful and friendly
| sentiments toa ards he peOpir OF the North
They regard the abolition o. slavery as a set
tied question, in no way TO he cont Diverted or
contested. Aud ey hope aad believe that
the GROUNDS ofanimosity aud strife between
the two 9ections having been removed, the
county under the auspices OF q common
