THE SUNDAY LAw--1f the Sunday Law in
this Stste is ext ected to increase the religious
feelings OF the people, it rs failure, as the
cursing and swearing in the country has been
quadrupled in consequence OF it,. If it is in
tended 10 prevent the use of Intoxicating
liquors on Srnday, it is a failure, as men
drink about twice the amount they formerly
did, To manif st their haired Of the law. Ifit
was expected to increase the average attend.
ance at the places Of publc worship it is
failure, as the indifference Of those who did
not attend church is changed to positive dis
like, not to say, which would be nearer the
truth, absolute hatred. AS a remedial law it
10 dead, as q prohibitory law IL is despised
and violated, ard, in general terms. it is a
humbug. 1t proposes to do by statute, what
God wants us to do of our own free will and
is utterly in opposition TO the spirit of true
religion, which has no argument bat persua-
sion, no strength but by its instructive vitality,
and'no weapon but the Gross. 1t is in oppo-
sition 10 sound policy, because the disre.
spect and hatred which it excites are conta.
gious and by habituul disobedience to an
obnoxious law, people, in time, come TO diso
hey those which are absolutely necessary 10
the public peace, 1t is not demanded by that
higher order of far-sighted religionists, who
attach more importance to q voluntary sub
mission to the observauces Of religion thar
they do to an outward respect for what tb,
soul inwardly rebels against, and can only
breed informa,ions, hatreds, espionage, ant
wickedness generally.

teal mineralogists anil parties who have
paid particular attention to examining and
assaying the extensive silver lodges at Stock

are confident that, with the developments
now doing and the enterprises on foot, ere
another year we will have another Washoe

scientific sources, WHO have thoroughly
tested the gold and silver ore of various
eafions around here, settle the ich resources
of this t. rritory to certainty. The excite.

District, and Silver Mountain, is creating in

The TRUTH.-Tbe Oregon Statesman very
truthfully and forcibly states the case, in regard
to the elements of the Union party in this State,
when itsays that it is largely composed of men
who were originally Democrats In fact, but
for the assistance of men of Democratic
procivities from 1861 to the present time, the
party wonld have been continually in the
minority. The prevalent sentiment in the
party has been such that no person holding
distinctive Republican principles, except Judge
Mcbride and Mr.. Henderson, has ever been
able to come before the people and control a
majority of the votes While this may be
something to regret, rather than TO rejoice at,
it is nevertheless true, and the abuse of many
of the cherished ideas of the National Democ-
racy can do no good to the Union party, but
rather tend to its dsorganization, by pro-
ducng discomfort among men originally de-
rived from the opposition. We are not yet
far enough away from the days of the discus
sion Of the great territorial question to afford
to ts dogmatic on subjects which have ex.
citeG so much trouble, and we are not relatively
strong enough 10 indulge in dissensions At
the coming State election we shall need all
the votes which The party can muster, and we
are not likely to get enough, if the practice Of
opening a fire in the rear" of our friends is
INDUCED in, as was the case at the recent
special election in this district. 1t may be
very "smart" to attempt to stir up the feel
ings of former Democrats, by unnecessary
abuse it may be very polite to harp upon
the unspeakable calamity of allowing Mis-
sourians to vote;" it may be emiuently proper
to evoke the aid OF the Evil Genius, as often
as he is sufficiently sober to put his oar in the
already troubled waters, but the effects can
only be lamentable to the Union party.

Item, from. Rschn.ond Paper,.

The Richmond Sentinel has the following
from East Tennessee:
Thomas having transferred portion of his
army to Knoxville, and united with Gilman, is
said to be moving in the direction of the Vir-
ginia line. At last accounts his command had
reached the vicinity of Greenyile, little over
halfway from Knoxville to Bristol. The ex.
pedition is accompanied by an engineer corps
of2,0O0 men, who were engaged in rebuilding
the railroad as fast as the enemy marches.
Communication with his base at Knoxville
will be kept up. The object of the expedition
is no doubt to possess and hold Southwestern
Virginia, and If practicable to capture Lynch
burg, thus cooperating with Grant in COM
pelling the evacuation of Richmond. The
scheme Is well conceived, but will be apt to
miscarry, as others have.

FROM WASHINGTON.
TO THE DAILY PRESS.

Endeavors of the Rebels to Break through our
Line Rebel Deserters = Ne,s Quarantine
observation-disclosures of Bounty Jumpers.
WASHINGTON, March 81.
1t Is reported but Lot authenticated, that
the rebels on Wednesday night made several
attempts to break through our lines in the
neighborhood of Fort Steadman, but our forts
and artillery opened On them terrible fire,
which as often drove them back in confusion
until they abandoned the contest.
During the month of March 1880 deserters
from Lees army were received in this city to
all OF whom the oath of allegiance was adj
ministered. This is considerable increase
over the month of February during which only
1899 were received.
Simon Draper, ESQ.,, of New York, left here
for that city this evening. He has been au-
thorized by the Secretary of the Treasury, to
proceed to Albany and confer With Governor
Fenton in relation to the legislation required
by The State of New York in connection with
the Quarantine Warehouse, authorized to be
constructed by an act of the last Congress, for
which $4,000 was appropriated.
President Lincoln has not returned from
Virginia. 1t is said on Wednesday he rode
out 10 the front with number of distinguished
officers.
The finding and sentence in the cases of the
Devlins and Cahill New York bounty brokers
tried before Gen. Bragg's Military Commits
sion, have been confirmed by the Secretary of
War. John Devlin was sentenced to ten
years in the Penitentary and fined 5000
James Devlin was sentenced to seven years
in the Penitentiary and $4,000 fine. John Ca
hill was sentenced to five years Imprisonment.
They are to be sent to the Clinton, F. Y.
prison. This is the first instance of large
batch OF similar cases, and which bring to
light the immense frauds practiced on the
government. Steps are being taken to bring
to Justice these offenders in other parts Of
country, and prevent the recurrence of
frauds. The commission is going forward
rapidly in the examinations.
