THE EVENING NEWS.

be able to state that the Union Clubs o
Virginia have all organized for the Fal
campaign, and the members thereof ar,
actively engaged in working for the goot
of that great party. The First, Second
Third and Fourth Wards Clubs have eact
permanently organized, and tonight thu
Second Ward Club are to have the frs
campaign meeting Of the season, at TIT
old Union Headquarters, North B street
nearly opposite the Post Office. Some
eloquent speaking will be listened. to, and
the enrolment of new and old members
will be large but here we wish to warn
all parties that we daily meet with men
claiming to be intense Unionists, who six
months since we knew TO be bitter seces-
sionists-and these very men, with unex.
ampled "cheek" and damnable impu.
dence, force their way into Union Clubs
and assist in stacking a Claggett organi-
~zation." We hope, and believe. that the
friends Of that aspirant for Congress are
not cognizant of such wrongs, and we
further hope that the second appearance
Of any such secessionists in any Union
Club will be met with a good square kick
in that portion of the body most liable to
assault from cowhide boots. That the
Union party will be divided as to whom
will best represent them in our National
Congress. we are we'll aware, but after an
expression of public sentiment is obtained
and a nominee Of a regular convention
selected. we say "rally round the flag.
boys" and, whether it be friend or foe,
"go in" for the straight Union ticket.
Why, we are told daily by ~bunkers,"
roughs, fighters and shorts generally,
that they intend TO either nominate a
"long hair" for Congress in the Union
Convention. or split and run Hank
Mitchell Ia most violent copperhead, but
amiable gen,leman.O for Representative
TO our National Congress. Union men,
men, be not deceived. The mixed voters
of Virginia will try and cause dissa,isfac-
ton in the Union ranks but an unwaver-
ing organization, unfaiiing nerve, and q
desire to achieve success over all factions,
will secure to the unconditional Union
party a sure triumph over any disorgan-
izers that may arise, though backed by
the biggest " blanket" that ever was wove
with secession colors in its u%nreadable
wool. So then, Union men, rally to the
issue, and do not be led by any faction,
but meet the issue squarely, and like big
hearted men that you are, stand by the
regular organization, or die an honorable
death in the regular line trenches Of the
Union barricades.
DRIrrING.-The Belcher company have
started two drifts from their shaft, and are
rapidly driving them towards the ledge.
One is at the depth Of about 400 feet, the
other is nearly 500 feet below the surface.
These two drifts, it is expected, will soon
strike the ledge, and at the same time
strike q large body OF water-as they are
respectively about one hundred and two
hundred feet lower than the mine has yet
been worked. The company have excel
lent machinery for hosting both ore and
water, and will probably take out a much
greater quantity Of rock when the drifts
are completed than they have done for q
long time past. They have never yet taken
much ore out Of their mine below the 300
foot level. All of the rich rock from
which they have reaped their dividends
have come from within that distance Of
the surface.
FROM ST. MARy's.-We read a letter
this morning that Ham. Light received
from c. C. Whitehead who has but re-
Gently returned to St. Mary's District, and
l.A o1,ko,h oonElaD,,al SpaalS IN
glowing terms of the district. We cauno,
refrain from stating that already several
buildings are in process OF erection at IA
point where the future own will be located
and O large number Of miners, mechanics
and others are already at the district
locating lodges, town lots, mill-sites and
timber privileges. Last evening we saw
some ore from ST. Mary's, brought in by
Mr.. Hammond. that discounts anything
we have ever seen from that section for
richness, in both gold and silver. We
wish the district and its pioneers the best
Of luck.
New TRucxEE.-The recent rich re-
turns from several tons Of ore from the
Imperial Consolidated C~ompany's claim
has given u fresh impetus to mining mat
ters in the New Truckee District, and this
morning a ten mule team left Virginia for
the district loaded with provisions. min
ing tools, etc., etc. That the argentiferous
gaIena OF the New Truckee is difficult to
reduce 10 standard gold and silver, we
fully believe. bu, that some cheap process
will eventually be discovered whereby
said ores can be worked with a large mar
ginal profit, we also believe, and trust
that day is not far distant.
LIvgLY.-Yesterday and this morning
the streets of Virginia have been crowded
with teams discharging freight. with loads
of fragrant hay from Sierra Valley, with
lumber firm WaShoe and Dayton. Busi-
ness men throughout Storey county assure
US tina, commercial matters are daily i'm
proving. and the recent developments OF
richer ore than ever at the lowest levels OF
the Coms,ock lead seem to induce conf
dence, not only of stockholders, but OF
capitalists, to invest in a better develop
mem, of the vast mineral wealth OF Storey
county.
The. Segregated Belcher Company have
their south shaft down to the depth Of
500 feet. l, is well timbered all the way.
They have but very little water TO contend
with. The work Of sinking has been sus-
pended for the present, and the company
have started a drift, which they are now
engaged in running. This claim will soon
be developed. as il, is under the manage
ment of Mr.. Apple, who never does
things BY halves, and who is now driving
work ahead on this claim with unusuai
energy.
New SuIr..-This morning the Virginia
Daily Union appears in an entirely new
dress, which looks as handsome as a
country preacher at a wedding. We con-

ever became virtuous through alka!i ssso-
