which the Massachusetts Fifty fourth had to en-
counter. The hesitatng policy of our Govern
ment permitted the Rebels to confront every
black soldier with the threat of Death or Slavery
if he were taken prisoner. If he escaped the
bullet and the knife, he came back to camp
to learn that the country for which ne had
braved that double peril, intended to cheat him
out of the pay on which his wife and children
depended for support. We trust Mr.. Secretary
Stanton is by this time heartily ashamed of the
dishonesty which marked his dealings with the
black troops-but We are not going into that
question. We said then, and We reiterate now,
that the refusal Of pay to the colored soldiers
was swindle and scandal, SO utterly without
excuse that it might well have seemed to
them as if it were intended to provoke
a mutiny. Few white regiments would have
borne it for a month; the blacks maintained
their fidelity in spite of it for year and half.
When the Fifty-fourth was offered compro-
mise, the men replied with one voice, :" No.
We need the money you offer our families are
starving because the Government does not pay
us what it promised; but We demand to be
recognized as soldiers of the Republic, entitled
to the same rights which white soldiers have.
Until you grant that we will not touch dollar"
1t was sublimer heroism, loftier sentiment
of honor, than that which inspired them at
Wagner. They would not mutiny because of
injustice, but they would not surrender one
iota of their claim to equal rights Eventually
they compelled the Government to acknowledge
their claim, and were paid in full by special
act of Congress.
The name of Col. ROBERT G. SHAW isforever
linked with that of the regiment which he first
commanded, and which he inspired with so
much of his own gentle and noble spirit as to
make it perpetual legacy to the men
who fought under and loved him. His
death at Wagner did as much perhaps for his
soldiers as his life afterward could have DONE
Col. Hallowell, who succeeded him, proved the
faithful and intelligent friend Of the regiment
It's other officers, with no exception that we
know of, were devoted and capable. They are
entitled to q share Of the renown which belongs
to the regiment-they would be unworthy Of it,
if they did not esteem that their highest testi-
mOnial

least may proceed TO the Recorder of the Dis
trict, certify to this and have 200 feet on the
lode recorded, or, in other words, absolutely
decided to him, and may enter 10 claims more
on each side of the discovery" in the names
of any other residents he may furnish. The
fees for recording of SO per claim are often com
bounded by setting off the claims to the Re-
.corders. who thus become possessors of extern
siye 'quarter interests" The prospectors for the
most part sell their claims for trihing sums to
sneculators. who often accumulate them with.
out taking the trouble to examine them.
Their object is to have as many thousand feet
rs possible to offer for sale at the East; and
they can mix in a few claims on veins that have
some repute or that have furnished good speci-
mems in the "Dscovery hole" their chance OF
making a profitable sale is good, though these
claims NAV be Of the higher numbers, thousands
of feet away from any opening on the VEN,
which may have entirely disappeared or become
confused with others in such distances. Under
an older law claims were run OIL indefinitely,
and we have heard of even "No. 80" on one,
which at 200 feet to the claim would be over
three miles from the opening on the vein. New
openings must be made along the vein to give
value to claims as high as Nos. 6, z, &c, and,
of course, on the side from the discovery
toward these numbers.
The effect of this cheap method OF obtaining
mining property is the rapid exploration OF the
country and bringing to light of its mineral re-
sources. The mountains are pretty thoroughly
examined and multitudes Of mineral veins ex.
posed. Silver ores have been discovered asso-
ciated with ores of lead in several localities, and
arrangements are already made for working
them by Eastern companies. Several quartz
mills are brought up the present season, and
many of the gold veins will be practically tested
before another year. But it will be matter
for Congress to determine, whether the thou
sands of claims now recorded shall continue to
be held as real estate without regard to their
being worked-owned in many instances By
parties that may never be found, or that may
appear " hen Others have developed the value of
the property to contest its proprietorship. For
the sake of the permanent interest of the coun-
try this subject we hope will receive a careful
investigation at the next Congressional session.
