Silver Mining in Nevada.


9dtThe State of Nevada, with a population
of 4O, 900 inhabitants or less, took out of
her mines, in gold andgsilVer bullion, odu-
ring the year l864-as is shown by the sta
tistics of exports-more than $3O,OOO,OOO.
This makes an average OF $3.50 to every
man, woman and child in the State, 1t is
more than an average of $62 per month to
each inhabitant.n All this has been done,
besides accommodating wealth at home, with
out one-eighth part enough of the milling
and,mining machinery to make labor pro-
ductiye. s,.i. y, ,s;,, a,y a-,,l.,aa,a al. j. bs,
If a demand Of $40 to every, inhabitant
of the Atlantic States Of her 30,000,000 in.
habitants were made, it would amount to
SL,20O, ,OOO, 600, which would exceed the en-
tire amount of coin and currency in the
country. IF the coin and currency were
obliterated and put out of existence, and
could be reproduced at the same rate In
proportion to their 30,00O,000 of popula.
tion as the State Of Nevada is producing
gold and silver bullion, 1t would be re-
placed in gold and silver in less than twen-
ty days. iss1siGi ao,aa ie9i ..-1glsg 9.go9t 3
The entire export ofthe United States
in cotton, tobacco, sugar, breadstutts, mer'
chandise and all other commodities, is less
than $45O,O00 600. a year, which is only
$l5 TO each inhabitant. The State of Ne.
vada exports, in the single article of bull.
ion alone, more than fifty times that amount
to each inhabitant, besides accommodating
at home more real wealth, in proportion
to her population, than any other state OF
country on the face of the globe. S .,.ie
The business of mining in Nevada is just
in its, infancy. In many districts where
many mines are being opened, they have
no machinery to make labor productive
but when machineryiis supplied equal tc
the demand, the product of gold and silver
will far exceed all our present calculations
as may be shown from the history of all sill
yer mining. There is not in, the Reese
River country Of Nevada a company, hay'
ing its, mine open, working its own ores ir
/ its, own mill, but takes outamore thousands
of dollars each month thanit has employers

Theaancient tombstones of the abandoned
graveyard are lying and leaning around, and
desolation is painted in all its saddest
forms upon the scene. The old Pohick
Church was erected near this some one
hundred, and fifty years ago. This was
erected in 1772, and Washington was the
chief contributor in its erection. To this
church Washington for years regularly re-
paired ysome seven miles, allowing no CON-
pany to keep him from the Sabbath SER
vice. The pew door of Washington, and
the great George Mason, had been carried
away as relics before the war. The brick
walls alone now remain. D ~. .Nol-'aD

Governor Brownlow's Platform.

l.
Governor Brownlow having been queS-
toned as to his platform, replies through
the columns of his paper the Knoxville
Wing, as follows :39aw5s.b i7s, viaa D. assd
ioMWe are for the Union as it is, and the
enforcement of the laws as they are, both
State and national, until every rebel lays
down his arms, is killed off in battle, or
in private, or is hung-until this wicked re-
bellion is crushed out, and men cease to
abuse the Federal authorities, or talk trea-
son even in private life. We are for no
compromise with rebels who have been in
arms against the Federal Government three
or four years, and have only laid down their
arms because they were achipped we are
for no truce with rebels no pardon for pi-
rates, no completely with thieves, and no
parley with murderers. We are. for the
political party which will stand by the
country, sustain the United States Govern
ment and not think of withholding men or
means from the President. until the nation
has asserted its independence of organized
nYobs at the South and in the North, and
until the whole world shall see and ac-
knowledge our power to crush out the great
conspiracy.
awe hold that no man, in any section
of the country, North or South should be
permitted to hold Office until he has taken
an oath that he has never done, written, or
said anything against the authority Of the
Government. of the United States, or in
any way given aid, comfort, or encourage
ment, to its enemies, or to the men waging
war against the Government. Being gross
ly deceived by men in the South, who went
into the rebellion,5 we will never support
any man for any Office of honor or profit,
who was a. secessionist, or who aided in the
unholy work Of expressing the Union peo-
pie in the South, or who persistently advo-
Gated the prosecution of the war brought
on at the South. i'os Azg 'A tnN
81 rsDenying the right of secession, we hold
that no State has ever been out of the
Union, and consequently we deny to Con-
gress the right to regulate the franchise
question, holding that each State, after
having elected a loyal Legislature, shall
say who are loyal voters and who are not |;
provided that no State shall enact law on
this subject at war with the provisions OF

The Former Home and Family Of
Henry Clay. .un -

=
asssA Kentucky correspondent OF the Gin
cinlaff Commercial tells the following story
Of Ashland. the late homestead of Henry
Clay, and the history his defendants: god
eThe homestead Of Henry Clay is now
occupied by the family of Hon. Thomas
Clay, one of his sons and present Minister
to one of the South American governments.
It is owned by the heirs OF James s. Clay,
degenerate son of the great statesmanj
who, it will be remembered died in CANA
da, about year ago. The house in which
Mr.. Clay lived when at home, was torn
down, some years since by James, and
magnificent structure erected on It's site,
and there is nothing now about the place
to remind one of him who once owned and
honored it except the family buggy in
which the old man and his wife used to
drive about and the oak trees in front of
the house. beneath which he used to sit
and talk with his family and friends.
sMr. Clay had FIVE sons, -Four of them
survived him, One, who bore his fathers
name, was killed in the Mexican war;
Thomas, as / have said, is now govern.
ment minister. John is living in one half
ofthe old homestead (now divided into
two farms. James died a fugitive in a
foreign land, and Theodore (the oldest of
the family is, and has been for twenty-five
years, an inmate of an insane asylum, still
avowing to every one that he is the original
George Washington, and refusing to re-
spond to call by any other name. Mr..
Clay had no possessions of any kind at the
time of his death, with the exception
Of Ashland, which was, of course, worth a
considerable sum but even that was very
heavily mortgaged, and he thought at one
time he would be compelled to abandon it
to his creditors, until one day when he en-
tered the bank to pay one his notes he was
told that he did not owe cent?
