The LAST JOKE ON JEFF. DAVIS. A
Philadelphia paper has it that JEFF Davis,
in Fortress Monroe, applied the other
day for the services of a physician, that
Connecticut doctor was thereupon first
sent him, whose services were refused !;
but that the next conner being JERSEY
man he was graciously accepted. From
this it was evident that JEFF Davis is
among that class Of funny fellows who
think that Jersey is not in the United
States. DIR. Blackburn would probably
be the physician most acceptable to JEFF
just now.-N 7. Herald.

A Split AMONG THE MoRMoNs.-A
split among the quarrelsome Mormons
is not a thing SO unusual as to excite
special remark; but recent occurrence
Of the kind seems to be worthy of note.
Joseph Smith, the son of the Original
Joseph, and recognized high leader in
the polygamous community, has become
convert to monogamy, and makes a
dead set against the great Brigham
Young. Joseph quotes his father and
the Book of Mormon to show that both
inculcate the doctrine that one WHEAT
time-and no concubines, is the teach
ing OF these recognized heads of the
church. Joseph also makes point ra-
Their indirectly against the loyalty of
Brigham Young. This is weak point,
we think, with Brigham; but now that
the rebellion is over the matter is of no
consequence.

The STATE CoNvBNTIoN.-Thec call for
the State Convention at Montpelier is
commendable for its broad terms and
liberal spirit. All who would support
the administration of Andrew johnson
and aid In re-establishing the Federal
authority and government over all the
States and Territories of the United
States upon the enduring basis of uni-
reysaI freedom, are invited to attend. AS
the fate of slavery is sealed anyhow, we
do not see how any loyal man can OBJ
ject to the terms of the call.

with incidents Of his early history, his
career as a lawyer and politician, his
advancement to the presidency of the

trying period Of its history, together
with an account of the tragical and
Mournful scenes connected with the
close of his life" DR.. j. G.. Holland,
(Timothy Titcomb,) the author of the
proposed work, is too well known to all
our readers as one of the best writers
Of the day, to require any extended no.
tiCe from us. He is now in Illinois Sc
curing original materials for the biog-
raphy. 1t is said that his enterprise is
cordially welcomed by the people of the
West and every facility afforded him for
obtaining information by the old friends

one will want biography of the lament
ed president, and no one that we have
seen noticed as forthcoming, will be
likely to equal that by DR.. Holland.

EDITORS PosT.-We have just passed
through as severe week of cold weather,
as we have had this winter. The coldest
day being Wednesday, thermometer stand
ing at O'Clock in the the morning, at Is
deg below zero. The old saying * sCome
in like lamb go out like lion - was ver-
lled IN the month of February. The first
day OF February was, according to the
thermometer, the warmest day we have had
this winter, and the last day ono of the
coidest, it being IA deg. below zero. March
bids fair to keep up his reputation as a
boisterous old fellow, if the FIVE DAYS we
have had is sample. The snow has drift
ed worse during the last week than all the
rest OF the winter together. Roads are lust
| about impassable.
The past week put Quietus Oh all min
ing operations. Week before last some
good strikes were made. Paine & Co.,
took out from a sort of sink or pocket in
the bedrock, filed with quick sand, some
i've hundred dollars. Kane Bros. & Co..
took out and are still taking out, at the rate
OF eighty and ninety dollars per day, to the
four men. This is called in this gulch
good diggings, as the claims have already
been worked over and large amounts of
money taken out.
During last winter company was form
ed at Bagdad, in this gulch, and charter
obtained by them, to bring water into this
gulch from the Rams Horn, but little has,
as yet, been done to the ditch, except to.
survey it. But on the opening of spring
the work will be pushed rapidly forward.
1t is the intention Of the company to buv
claims that have been worked, or partially
worked, and by constructing a bedrock
tumc, use this water either for ground
sluicing or by means of hydraulics, and so
work the ground over. 1t will undoubtedly
be good thing, and be the means of put
ting snug little sum in the pockets of the
company. Other companies are forming
for the same purpose, and claims are chang
ing hands correspondingly. Some miners
have just returned from Last Chance, who
have been to see the country, and report
big things there. In fact, have seen. nor
heard, no bad accounts of the new Ell Dor
rado. Quite number have sold out and
and are going to the Prickly Pear Country
as soon as the weather will permit. Others
seem to think that the Last Chance is the
best and are making preparations accord
ingly, among whom you can count on

EDITORS POSI- have been very busy of
late, in a mill so | have neglected to write,
but you have not lost much, for times have
been very, very dull here, and the weather
intensely cold for the last month. Cattle
are turned out to pick for themselves, and
they freeze and starve to death by the hun
dreds. All our beef is turned to mahoga-
ny of a blue cast; but that is easy to ac-
count for; for the wind blew cutting and
cold all the mouth, and the people are get
ting blue with blue noses. [ think times
are getting bluer every day; half the mills
are idle; tied up for debt or some other
cause, don't know what and even those
that are running can't pay their help a dol
lar in cash. There are some new compa-
MES preparing to build, and they only pay
three dollars per day for laborers. Flour
is twenty dollars per hundred, and the
whole provision market pro rata. What
are we coming to? IL man works al the
time all he can get is living. Every work.
ing man speak to says he shall leave for
some other place as soon as the spring
opens; some for your Territory and others
for Arizona. All agree in voting this place
a humbug; but cannot agree with them
altogether. think there are many good
ledEes here, though in this immediate vi
ciAity the ledges are narrow, broken and
hard to be traced. When they are followed
down to depth of two hundred and fifty
and three hundred feet, they are generally
rich; but it takes some money to deveiopo
them properly, and many failed in their
operations, which discourages others still
many no doubt will be successful. Labor
is species of commerce; and where there
is not an equivalent return for time or
money expended, trade or business must
soon stop. Our friend j. III. H., started for
your city last evening, and will probably
reach there before this does. | shall most
likely start from here in couple of months;
but where | shall bring up, well, don't
know SO for the present, au reroir.
