Montar. and it. Mines.

A letter from Virginia City, Montana Ter.
ritory, to the St. Louis Democrat, says over
one hundred miles of placer diggings most Of
IL exceedingly rich, have been discovered,
aud new and thriving towns are springing up
in the snriferous region. The agricultural
resources Of the Territory are great; but so
few people have turned their attention to
farming that oil kinds Of vegetables sell at
from SO to $40 per bushtt (gold), wholesale,
with ready market and an increasing de-
mand Butter sells readily at 81 per pound,
with free and inexhaustible pasturage for
innumerable herds Of COWS at every door.
Pork is worth $50 to $75 per 100 lbs.i -four
at all seasons $50 per barrel, and last May
sold for 5000.
A Montana correspondent Of the Chicago
Republican tells story of frauds committed
by mining spectators at the expense Of
Eastern capitalists. The gist Of the charges
is contained in the following paragraph:
"You would hardly believe It possible that
tire great bulk of the leads offered for sale in
New York are no more likely to produce gold
or silver than the real quartz veins found on
the island itself, and exposed in grading the
streets, yet such is the fact. When offered
they are sometimes falsely represented by
specimens taken from these localities, and
certified to by utterly irresponsible parties,
and persons quite ignorant Of mineral veins,
though going from this region they carry
with them the reputation Of boing practical
and experienced miners. To such an extent
has this evil proceeded, that an association
is organized, so II is reported, for the protec.
tion Of purchasers Of such property"
1t is not to be considered, however, that
there are no valuable veins Of the precious
metals in the Territory. Some very prom
isiug ones of gold and Of silver have been
discovered; the former as huctu uating and un-
certain as such veins are in other districts,
and the latter in no case worked yet to prove
their actual worth. Miners wages being
very high, (three to seven dollars day, in
gold dust,) makes 1t very nice question
whether some veins will pay for working.
At present the metallic production is almos.
exclusively from the gulch diggings, and
with rare exceptions, It is not safe to count
upon the mines as likely to afford rich re.
turns"

BRUTAL MURDER-A most atrocious mur-
der was perpetrated in our neighboring
county Of Hanover on Thursday night last,
Of which We have thus far been unable to
learn more than brief particulars. The house
of Mr.. Thomas Taliaferro was entered by q
party of rufians, who made an attack upon
Mr., Taliaforro, beating him on the head with
clubs and breaking his skull After this,
notwithstanding the shrieks of Mrs. Talia-
feTo and the children, they proceeded to
plunder the house, and carried away num-
Der of articles. The wounded man fingered
until the day, when he expired, The perpe-
traitors of this deed are unknown, but it is
said that they were dressed in the uniform of
sOldisrs.-RichR0,n Republic.

The CONSPIRACY ADvERTIsEMEST.-Th
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Commercial says; 1t will be recollected that
during the conspiracy trial two printers, en-
ployed in the office Of tho Selma Dispatch,
Testified that George W. Gayle was the au-
thor of an advertisement that appeared in
the Dispatch, soliciting contributions to the
amount of million Of dollars with which to
procure the assassination Of President Lin
coin and certain members Of the Cabinet.
Gayle was in Washington when the testimony
was given, and had engageSeounsol to con
duct his case In the event Of his trial in
Washington, but he was removed South,
where he has ever since been IN confinement.
Recently the President ordered that he be
transferred to civil instead Of . military
court, for trial In Alabama

WILL SOMEBODY LOOK IsTo IT.-Several
Of the streets and avenues in this city are in a
dangerous condition, by reason Of tho extensive
improvements going on, but are made more so,
In some cases, through the carelessness Of con :
tractors or their agents. Last evening 4 gentle
man In a carriage with his family was driving
down Four -and "a half street, when the horse
gave indications that something was wrong
ahead. Upon investigation It was found that a
pole, eight inches diameter, had been stretched
across the street, aud this was all there was to
notify travellers that the street was impossible
In a dark night. Turning into a cross street
similar distinctions were again discovered by
the horse In time in both cases to prevent Sc

Of thereby escaping the payment Of duty.
Otherwise, he argued, q dozen men might
