FssIAS RAILr.-The meeting Of tn.

fENIAN nALLh|Aho M6 " ~"s
friends of Ireland, at our Theatre on Sat
urday evening, was a large and enthusias-
tic gathering. Notwithstanding the I'M
der-foot Of our strests was in q horrible
condition, the Theatre was orammed with
people, whose sympathies in the cause no
unpropitiousness Of weather can dampen.
Col. Sumner spoke for an hour and q half.
It was q speech that marched right up to
the cause, and the questions and expedi-
encies involved. Distinct and pertinent
in his many historical statements, pathetic
and thrilling in his recital Of Irish wrongs,
more humorous, and, withal, more elo-
quently vehement in inVec6ve than we
have ever known him to be in former
efforts,-it was an instructive, q persua-
sive, an amusing. q brilliant effort. Could
he have been reported, his mastery dis
course would have furnished q splendid
~text.pamphlet for the Fenian Brotherhood.
The rapturous applause that often greeted
him. manifested how thoroughly he en-
listed the attention and commanded the
appreciation Of the audience. When he
closed, three cheers were given for him,
with a rousing will. Mr.. Murphy, Center
of the Gold Hill Fenian Club, was then
called upon for q speech; and he made a
brief. neatly-worded speech, characterized
by glowing patriotism for Ireland, and for
the American Union as well. He alluded
to the conduct Of England toward our
country /; when, as he said, the "so-callcd
Confederate States" were making war
upon this asylum for the poor and OPP
pressed Of every land. Dir. Murphy is
quite a young man ; but he gives evidence
Of a very superior mind and special ca
pacity for oratorical effort. He will be
noted as a rising man among us before
many months have passed. With three
cheers for Mr.. Murphy. and three and a
tiger for the Fenian Brotherhood, the
meeting adjourned.
LAKE DIsrRIcr.-Though situated in
Esmeralda county, and within a convenient
distance of us, but little mention has been
made Of this district. although discovered
last February; owing, perhaps, to the fact
that the discoveries did not desire any
notice Of it until they had obtained their

ton of this district is west of Lake Walker,
bordering on one side of it, and plenty Of
wood and water are convenient for mill
and mining purposes. Some eighty To-
cations have been made, several Of them
showing rich gold bearing rock-assays Of
which reaching upwards Of $1,000 per
ton. The majority Of the lodges, however,
are Of silver bearing argen,iferous galena
ore, which also shows rich assays. Speci-
mems of this rock can be seen at the Chol-
lar office. w. II. Burgess, the Recorder
Of the district, who has been there since
its formation, is now in Virginia, making
arrangements to have q mill sent there.
In a conversation with him, he informed
us that the entire section Of country, il
properly prospected, would astonish III
people in its richness. During this week
a party Of our citizens, headed by John b.
Winters, intend visiting Lake District for
the purpose Of examining these mines, in
which some Of them are interested. The
climate is reported fine, and the general
face of the country such that no difficulty
will be experienced in building good roads.
The reports we hear from there are from
men Of integrity, and we are disposed to
think that not many months will pass
before the steam whistle will be heard,
and a aourishing mining district developed.
ATTENTION, COUNTY CoNNIssIoNERs.-
We have it from good authority that the
hall at present used by our military COM
panies in Virginia is about to be taken
from them by the owner Of the building,
because the County Commissi oners have
refused to pay the rent for it, for which
they are in arrears over six months. VIZ
cannot blame the owners, but do our
county officials, in this matter. The law,
we believe, says that they shall furnish a
suitable room for our volunteer compa-
MES, which it seems that they are now at
tempting to avoid. We could not object
to their removal to any other suitable
room, but it appears that U present
Commissioners are not disposed to do the
fair thing, as they have not, up to the
present time, showed any disposition to
this effect. If a room is not secured
shortly, our military companies will have
to disband for want Of quarters to drill in.
Now this is a matter Of serious considera-
ton, and should not be lightly passed by
our officials. Something should be done
BY them to secure for our citizen compa-
MES that which the law allows them, at
least. This military organization may be
a necessary evil, but it should be kept
up, for it is very convenient to us home
fellows in time Of war ; you bet
