ROBBED OF $500 This morning al
about II o'clock and 10 minutes, the Pio-
neer Stage was stopped by three men,
armed with double-barreled shot-guns,
near the Phoenix Mill, q short distance
the other side of Silver City, who politely
requested Badly Green, the driver, to
hand out Wells, Fargo aud Co.'S Express
box. Green, of course, being an obliging
sort of chap, complied with the request
made more exacting by the pointed argu-
ment of three loaded shot-guns, and hand
ed over the reasure-box without more de-
Law than was necessary. Some OF the
passengers were also politely solicited to
descend to the ground and be searched
and complying, they were relieved of theiI
loose change. The sum OF $500 is
known to have been in the box, and with
out doubt some smaller packages OF COIN
Chief Birdsall and his force Of detectives
have the matter in charge. A liberal re-
ward for the apprehension Of the robbers

The RESOURCES OF THE NoRTH.-Hon.
&. L. Stanley, an English gentleman Of
more than ordinary candor and intelli-
gence, who recently passed through the
North with his eyes open, recently deliv-
cred lecture at Macclesfeld, from which
the following is an extract:
at is a surprising thing to see how
great the resources of the United States
still ore in spite Of the war. believe it
is no exaggeration to say that the North
ern States at this moment, in spite Of their
losses, are more populous and richer than
when the war broke out. There are such
wonderful natural resources in the coun-
try, such boundlesS wealth, only asking
for the industry of man to make it accept
able, that even the drain of this struggle
is unable to counterbalance the expansion
and natural progress of the nation"

The Last of Earth.

A Washington letter, embodied in the
New York correspondence Of the San
Francisco Alta, gives the following de-
scription of the last hours Of President
Lincoln, as narrated by an eyewitness Of
the touching scene:
At about 1880 o'clock gained entrance
to the room at the end of the hall where
the President was placed. Mr.. Lincoln
was lying diagonally across the bed, show
ing no signs Of consciousness. His fea-
lures were fixed in that calm, stony
solemnity, which only the hand Of Death
can mold.
From that time until he died l was alb.
sent but an hour. Mrs. Lincoln was led
in many times during the night. She
seemed almost frantic, and her exclama-
tons Of woe were truly heart.rending.
At one time, while sitting by his bedside,
she kept saying, Kill me, kill mo kill
me, too !" At another time ] heard her
exclaim in the most piteous tones, DO
live do speak to me! Do live and speak
to me, won't you ..-.s.,
But those rigid lips never parted, those
ewes never looked upon her, for he never
reeained consciousness tor q moment.
There he lay, and with each rise and fall
Of his chest, there issued one OF the most
dismal, mournful, moaning noises ever
heard, and never shall forget. .....
Haying had but little rest for several
days previous, and being completely ex-
hsusted, Just after daylight / went into the
little chamber adjoining, and slept for half
an hour. was about to speak, but was
huShed BY my friend, who informed me
that Mrs. Lincoln had again been brought
in, and had just tainted. She was taken
from the room, and for the last time be.
held her husband alive. I again entered.
The face of the dying had changed to q
more sshy paleness. The dark patch
around his right eye had spread. His
breathing had become shorter and less
lsborsd. That dreadful sound had given
place to kind Of wild gurgling. Occa.
sionally for q few seconds it would entire
ly cease, and would think that all was
over. Then it would resume, and thus
these intervals would continue, until al
! last, after longer interval than any which
had before taken place, the physician who
was holding the Presidents hand, whis.
nered, " This pulse has ceased beating!
So change whatever took place in the ex.
preston Of the dead. The assassin's dia.
hobcal deed was completed, and thus ex.
pired the Martyr President Of the United
States. - + E-

CAUSE OF THE DEcLINE.-rhe papers
of Virginia City are puzzling their brains
to discover the cause of the recent tumble
in the price of the leading mining stocks
Of Nevada. The cause is as plain as a
nose on a mans face. Those mines pro.
duce gold and silver exclusively, and the
price Of those articles has been deprecia.
ting rapidly of late in New York and the
other markets for our metals. Don't you
see it, nowi Shares in coal mines are
not worth as much when coal is selling
for ten dollars. But there has been an
other cause operating to create decline
in mining stocks. Some Of the heaviest
holders Of leading stocks have lately been
selling out, for the purpose OF investing in
petroleum and other speculations. OF
course, when the heaviest stockholders
offered large quantities Of stock. buyers
became frightened, and down they went.

DEsrRv1No OF CoyoRArrIArIoN.-N

DESERVING OF CoSaRAruLATIoN.-We
learn with much satisfaction that the Right
Rev. Bishop o'Connel, in charge Of this
Catholic diocese, will soon remove his
residence from Marysville to Virginia city.
Bishop O'Connel is staunch and out
spoken Union man; and we imagine that
from and after his settled advent among
us. secesh sympathisers will not receive
the superior favor of the priests OF the
Catholic Church in that vicinity. Bishop
o'Connel is probably the most learned
prelate on this coast; with him the Bible
that book of books, is almost record Of
memory, while the Fathers are literally
indeked IN his repeated study. The pre-
sence Of such good, strong man among
us, holding worthy influence over many
of our fellow citizens is, indeed, subject
for profound congratulation.

AxERIcAss ABRoAD.-An item In the
course Of foreign exchanges that has an
important influence IS not always borne
in mind. 1t is the expenses Of American
citizens abroad. The annual report Of
the New York Commissioners Of 1mmi-
grafton states the number Of citizens that
arrived home. in 1854, at that port, was
ss,423-a very unusual number. Tho
average, according to the reports OF
the State Department ct Washington, is
Is, 900, and this represents about the num-
Der who 70. Hence, there are about, in
round numbers, $4,000 persons living
abroad. These persons do not spend less
than 81, 900 per annum esch-many OF
them 9 great deal more. This sum gives
S25, 1000. 900 per annum to be RENTED 70
absentees. During the last year, when
individual revenues were received In pa
per, and exchange ran up to S26, great
numbers came home. They could no
longer afford to live abroad. With Cali
fornians the case was different. The de.
cline Of Eastern currency did not affect
their revenues. The fall in exchange now
is causing q great many to return to
Europe. as well as numbers OF new
visitors, and the demand from this cause
is renewed,

FATAL AccIDENT.-An accident hap
pened in the Empire mine on Saturday
morning last, about 4 o'clock, BY which a
miner named C. II. Resborn lost his life
BY falling down a shaft. Deceased was
working on a windlass in the lower level
of that part of the Empire mine known as
the Central claim, where shaft was being
sunk, and which had then reached the
depth of sixty feet. When the accident
happened he was alone at the windlass,
his assistant having gone out to the main
shaft with the car, and it is not certainly
known how he came to lose his hold and
fall, but 1t is supposed that while he was
idle he leaned on the windlass, and falling
asleep, lost his balance and went down
before he regained consciousness enough
to grasp his hold. Mr.. Resborn was a
native of Ireland, about thirty-five years
of age, and was making his home in Vir-
ginia, where he belonged to Washoe En-
CINE Company No. 4. He was much
respected by those who knew him. This
was one of the few accidents which has
happened in our mines where man has
lost his life through no other means than
his own Individual carelessness. His re-
mains were taken to Virginia and de-
posted in the engine house Of the COM
pany of which he was . member, where
he lay in state until yesterday afternoon,
when he was buried BY the Virginia fire.

lieve, except . sister, who resides in
Virginia.

HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL.

In the News of last Saturday appeared
the valedictory Of HIRAM R. HAWKINS,
ESQ.,, who has been associated with US in
the editorial and business management Of
this paper ever since its commencement.
Mr.. Hawkins goes to one Of the ports of,
Peru, as Consul of the American Govern.
ment-a position for which he is eminently
qualified. We sincerely regret parting
with him, as no man in this State could
have rendered US more valuable services
in permanently establishing our journal.
As finished writer upon topics Of the
day, or National, State, or local politics,
he had not superior connected with the
Nevada press. But he has gone to fill
q position at the call Of his country in
another capacity; may God bless and
protect him, for we have never known a
more honest man, truer friend. He
leaves many kind friends in Silverland.
In order to manifest the kind esteem in
which Mr.. Hawkins was held, it was con-
sidered proper. on Saturday last, to pre-
sent him with a testimonial Of regard.
n. A. H. Ball, Esq. interested himself
in this behalf, by starting voluntary
subscription in gold coin, and within a
few hours, the head men Of the mines,
mills, banks and stores in Gold Hill and
Virginia, made up purse in twenty dol
lar pieces of about NINE HUNDRED DOL
LARS. At 9 o'clock in the evening, in the
parlor of H. G. Maynard's residence,
Gold Hill, about forty of Mr.. Hawkins
admirers assembled. A table had been
spread, well supplied with wines, sand
witches and other eatables, and the cere-
monies were opened with an appropriate
sentiment in reference to the appointment
of H. r. Hawkins, as Consul. The senti-
ment was responded to by Col. John A.
Collins, in a speech of at least half an
hours length. The Colonel was extreme
ly happy in illustrating the past, present
and future of the American Govern
ment, and pictured in glowing terms
the great benefits which will arise
in the future in foreign lands, when
our own Government so wisely discrimi.
mates in selecting its representatives who
arc 80 well acquainted with the genius Of
our institutions Is is Mr.. Hawkins. The
remarks were well received BY the COM
pany. Msssrs. Paul, Lee, PeaSley, Lam
bert, Wright, Mills, and several others
made speeches during the evening, in re-
Spouse to sentiments offered. The pre-
sentat:on Of the purse Of gold was made
by Mr.. Ball, in a neat and happy address,
which was responded to BY Mr.. Hawkins
in few feeling and impressive remarks.
A gold watch and chain was also present.
ed to him.
The entire testimonial was creditable to
the big-hear,ed people who contributed to
it, and well merited and highly aattering
to Mr.. Hawkins, who fully appreciated
the kindness. 1t was decidedly the best
testimonial Of respect ever bestowed upon
any editor on this coast. Mr.. Hawkins
left for San Francisco on the Pioneer
stage yesterday afternoon, and will sail
for Peru the latter part of next week.
