The Leavenworth Journal learns
from Mr.. Butterfeld, that the party
sent out by him to explore the Smoky
Hill route, discovered vein Of coal
along the Smoky Hill seven feet thick,
extending from sixty-fve to seventy
miles. The supply to all appearances
is inexhaustible. There are also acres
upon acres of iron ore. The mineral
wealth of the extreme western.part Of
this State is of immense value. The
valleys are rich and productive and
capable of sustaining dense popula
ton.

Mr.. Richardson concludes his last
letter to the New York Tribune from
the silver region of Nevada as fol-
lows =" Nevada has turned out about
sixty millions of dollars in Bullion,
and is now producing nearly twenty
millions annually. Bishop Simpson is
convinced that our silver resources
are sufficient to pay off a national debt
of twenty billions, present each return
ed soldier of the Union with silver
musket, and then plate all our war
vessels with silver thicker than they
are now sheathed with iron. 1t is GER
tain that our ores are practically in
and that the silver mining
of the United States is in infancy"

Our democratic friends look forward
with magnanimous pride to the ap-
pearance in Congress, at an early day,
of delegations from the lately insur-
gent States, chosen by the old ruling
class, and representing the old school
Of Southern politics. There is to be a
grand democratic reunion and grace
full resumption of their former position
and influence, by those misguided
bretheren against whose loyalty and
good faith no Democrat can now har-
Dor suspicion. Hoping that when
these delegations obtain their seats
this confidence in their good faith and
loyaly will be justified, we must OBJ
se.ve that these qualities will be sub
jected to a tolerably severe strain,
when, besides paying their share of
the national debt, incurred for their
subjugation," they are called upon
to tax their constituents for the boun-
ties paid by Northern towns and cit
les to the soldiers who effected that
object, and for the equipments bought
by States for those soldiers, and the
thousand other local expenses incident
to raising an army of "subjugation."
Doubtless their constituents ought to
pay the whole Of this but doubtless
they will strenuously object to paying
any of it. The delegations will say /:
1--WE too have sundry local debts,
State and municipal, incurred recently
for purposes of military character,
which, if you please, we will not de-
scribe more particularly and if the
debts of one section are assumed, why
should not ours be so also 2"
Unless we greatly mistake, our dem
ocratic friends will find that here is a
serious difficulty. They will have to
make their choice either they must
agree to such management of the re
organization in the South as shall
keep the power out of the hands Of
the former ruling class, who are chief
ly interested in the Southern wal
debts,--or they must arrange with
those allies whom they are now sc
much disposed to welcome, that the
debts of both sections shall be assum
ed by the general government. AND
a charming electioneering cry the lat
ter proposition would be for them, in.
deed |! There is, it is true, one other
COURSE repudiate the whole mass
of Indebtedness, North and South
but of this we must honestly say that
we suppose no Northern democrat
worthy of being taken into account
has any idea. That conception is
Southern in origin and character.
