The Mineral Lnnd..

We are informed that the Federal Gov
eminent, with view of ascertaining the
correct opinion of the working of the pre-
sent system Of disposing of the National
rights in the mineral lands on this coast,
have sent number of special agents to
examine and report upon the subject
To enable these gentlemen to acquire the
needed information to place the subject
fairly before the government, it becomes
their duty to mingle with the "honest Mi
ners" themselves, not to confne their in
quiries to the social circle Of select class
Of bankers. capitalists and political wire
workers. In our opinion this question of
disposing of the mineral lands, involves
the future prosperity of California. Aside
from the prospect Of making raise" at
the mines, there is nothing particularly in
viting TO the enterprising and energetic,
who have but labor for their capital in
California. Its seasons of drouth and de-
huge detract from the advantages of soil
and salubrity, and make it less favorable
for agricultural pursuits and stock raising
than the great Western States, where la
Dor is to-day as valuable as it is here
California, as it cannot be disputed. owes
her present prosperous and influential po-
sition as State, to her unequalled mines,
and, by a parity of reasoning, that which
has caused US to prosper heretofore. will
cause us to prosper hereafter. There are
means Of deriving revenue for the nation
from the mineral lands without alternating
them from the public domain. We will
take the liberty of suggesting the follow
ing: '
In every mining district of the State
there is a Recorder, in whose books the
boundaries and date of location of all
claims in his district are entered, in the
majority Of districts, any claim not record.
ed with this officer, is not considered
located. Now by making the recording
of claims compulsory and these district
recorders Federal officers. and charging a
fee of say one dollar for every location OF
one hundred feet or less, payable on re-
cording, and renewable every year,
handsome revenue might be collected at
little cost and without in any way inter-
fering with the present regulations among
the miners neutrality-suspicious. which,
after fifteen years experience, have been
found to work to their satisfaction. The
collectors Of the other branches of Fede-
raj revenue could attend to this, and thus
dispense with new officers to swallow up
the money collected. Such plan would
give the miner good little " to his claim
and be a constant source of revenue to the
nation without expressing the miner, for
any claim. that does not pay company to
work, can be abandoned and opened by
relocation by another company, as these
lands are at present, we merely make the
crude suggestion and leave it in ADLER
hands to eliminate into practical system.

Mere Peace ission TO
the United States FOrenhad0wed.
New YORK, Jan. 2S.-The Herald
Washington special has various rumors
concerning Blair's visit to Richmond.
One is, that Blair brought an autograph
letter from Davis to Lincoln, saying he
was ready to treat for peace, and that a
communication from Lincoln had been
taken back to Richmond, expressing a
willingness to send or receive Commits
sioners. Many well informed people in
Washington look for important results
from Blairs second visit to the rebel
capital.
A significant article appears in the
Richmond Inquirer Of last Thursday,
which Gays that after every manly effort
the rebels may yet fail, and policy and in
tere,t may incline them to submit to the
United States rather than to England,
France or Macmillan. With their mill
tary forces they could then sweep this con-
tinent and thus hide their shame, while
America will become the colossal power of
the world. On the other hand, some
Richmond editors, in view of the fact that
they have lost all seaports of consequence,
make great efforts to prove these disasters
blessings. They say war now is their sole
business; CONSUMPTION must De vigorously
enforced, and every one that can must
serve. ''s
