FRIENDS AND Fellow SOLDIERS Il may
be according to tactics TO put raw recruits
in front while these old veterans are kept in
reserve. bui the position is painful one.
Inasm5zh, however, as | have been assigned
a position in this assault on The enemy, Ibis
my duty 10 advance to The charge, and il
repulred shall fall back upon the reserves.
We have assembled here, as we have "a
perfect right to do, alike to celebrate The es-
iablishment Of our party, and TO renew
among our people their political faith.
For four long years we have engaged in
a bloody civil war; the gsrbs OF mourning
before me, the MANNED soldiers who have
met hers prove the desperation Of The strog-
gle, were oihsr evidence wanting. The
questions are pertinent, what have we
fought forl Why is this fairland filed with
crippIes, with mourning--and Why are We
a. nation overwhelmed with debt These
are The questions which have been assigned
me, aud will endeavor 10 state what we
fought for, what ve did not fight Tor, aud
What we should now insist upon. When
We consider the conflicting opinions of lead
ing men, Of different communities, The i'm
pos,snce OF proper solution of the ques-
lion will be apparent. The subject ia an
old one; yol have heard it day after day
for The past four years; and shall not pre-
lend to give you any original thoughts on
The subject, bri 10 revive old ones TO your
minds.
The object Of the South, take it, wes 10
establish separate government among
States alike interested in the preservation
OF the institution of slavery, which they
claimed had been illegally interfered with
Doubtless other causes impeIIed Them TO
thin course, bui This was the main one. The
object Of the West, besides the general one
to.nainfain The Union Of our fathers, was TO
open and keep open the navigation of the
Mississippi river, that they might through

masses of the Middle States were actusied
By truly pstriotic impulses, though they
knew ,hzi npop tbsir borders would the

1t is said that if the mines turn out rich
in Excelsior District. the line-of-battle for
litigation will be as extended as the VIII.
derness fight in Virginia. Despite the
experience of our past, the locations were
made in the best manner possible for nour
ishing lawsuits, If the mines proved good.
Not only side and side. but cross-cuts,
cutting each other at right angles, and
d~iagonally located so that it is conf
IDENTIFY prophesied that it will be difficult
for the shrewdest locator to really tell his
own ground in very many instances.
And latterly, as the promise Of richness
has strengthened, the spirit Of compromise
has not been shed abroad but to the IN
trary, there is a very general determine
ton to law for rights" in fancy or in
fact possessed, unto the bitter end.
Therefore, we may set It down as certain
sure, that the hegira hence next Spring
will in good part be composed Of lawyers
and professional jurors and witnesses.
We met a man this morningSin1th the Court
room in Virginia, who said he was going
to Excelsior in Aptl next "to see the
fun AND he assured us that the fights
and foot-races lover yonder" would be
as,onishingly numerous = making the
times there proportionatcly agreeable.
So. criminal practice seems in profitable
view for the attorneys. EEggg

LYON COUNTY Items.

We take the following items of news
from Lyon county Sentinel Of to-day:
CONTESTED ELECTION. "A. S. Pease
contests the election Of w. A. Luders to
the office of Justice of the Peace in Silver
City precinct, and has appealed to the
Third District Court for a decision in the
matter at issue. The plaintiff alledges
that the polls were not opened in Spring
Valley precinct until II o'clock on the 7th
of November, and that they were closed
before 2 o'clock; that the ballot box was
not locked, and that the judges were not
sworn according to law. The defendant
says that the complaint does not alledge
that any fraud was committed, nor that
wrong had been done to any one in con-
Quoting said election or otherwise. The
Judge held that the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute cause of
action. Demurrer uf defendant sustained
and ten days given plaintiff to amend
complaint. Judge Barbour and II. NJ.
Steele for plaintiff; F. H. s. J. N. Ken
nedy for defendant.
PURE CARgLEssNEss.-During the past
month, Mr.. Shay, our Postmaster, has
kept an account of the packages missent
to this place by the Carson Postmaster.
The number is twenty-nine almost n
a day. The is no excuse for this careless
ness; the Dayton line is independent Of
all others, having no intermediate offices
and running no further than this place.
Packages for Washoe, Genoa, Dayton, O.,
Drytown, CAL, and other places, come
here with a good deal more regularity
than our exchanges.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

The boys and girls attending upon our
Public Schools are giving our citizens
special notice Of the coming exhibition, to
take place at the Opera House, Virginia,
n Tuesday afternoon next. The particu-
lar object had in view in this exhibition
need not be commended to our citizens ;
for it is self-commendatory. The exercises
will be of the most entertaining, and the
l~iveliest character of school dialogue
is cast for the occasion. The programme
is made up by the teachers, under the ju-
dicious supervision Of the Board of Edu-
cation. We are informed that four hun
dred tickets have already been sold by the
youths who are engaged in the canvass.
The school library is very much in need Of
additions TO its stock for distribution ;
and it is hoped and expected that at least
$500 will be nested by the exhibition.
The tickets are priced so cents; and
1900 sold will clear the amount named.
Few are so poor as to be unable to make
one purchase. If you cannot go yourself,
you can make this contribution, and you
will have your ticket for a gift to any
friend who can make it convenient to at
tend.
In San Francisco and Sacramento this
character of exhibition has been produc-
tive of great benefit to the children, as the
elders all testify; while afording much
pleasure to the mature auditors and bring
ing in a revenue for some such worthy
object as is here held in view.

THE BLA-A-A-IRS.

In q Democratic speech at Auburn, New
York, Mr.. Montgomery Bla-a.a-ir made
the following interesting revelation: "'
II don't want to brag about it, but if
the Blairs,' as they call us, had chosen to
go in they might have had high seats in
the Republican synagogue; but then we
should have been required to join in the
disfranchisement Of the Southern people;
but We went for the whole country
Probably Mr.. Bla-a-a-ir has reference
to his unsuccessful effort last winter to get
himself appointed Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court ; or to his equally luckless
effort to persuade the Republican majority
Of the Maryland Legislature to elect him
United States Senator /; or perhaps he has
in mind the pleasant circumstance Of his
expulsion from the cabinet Of President
Lincoln. Bla-a-a-ir is evidently q remark
able specimen Of political virtue in his
W opinion. His talent for resisting
radical seductions is something extraordi-
nary. So is the way in which he "goes
for the whole country" Common people
are, however, inclined to think that what
he goes for is the selfish interest of Mont
gomery Bla-a-a-ir. And he pursues it in
such a restless, troublesome, selfish and
senseless way that the Republican party
regard him as a sort of political nuisance
that they are glad to be rid Of. But what
does the fellow mean by 1.-THE disfran-
chisement Of the people Of the South:"
Who is doing that or proposing to do iii
Has any respectable number Of either Re-
publican politicians or Republican jour
nails proposed to do any such thing as dis
franchise the people of the South True,
they ought TO be Observation-Disclosures of
them at least who turned traitors and en-
gagged in the rebellion but no body isp pro-
posing to do it, and no body has proposed
to do it. Montgomery is, simply talking
nonsense, mixed up with a little falsehood
and imagination. '..'s" FNt"'

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and others
opposed to allowing the negro to vote, say
that there is such q repugnance and op-
pugnance between the two races-the
blacks and whites, that it would lead to a
war of races and of determination. They
also say that the two races ca mot live to-
gether in peace, except as master and SER
want, and therefore the negroes, il liber-
ated, must be sent away to some other
country. And yet one Of their strong OBJ
~jections to giving the blacks equal rights
under the law with the whites, is the
danger Of amalgamation-the danger that
they, being on a civil and political
equality" would rush together, by some
sort of mysterious affinity, and would OF
once go mtsrmarrying! If there is such
an %irreconcilable oppugnsnce between the
two races that theyIcannosi live together in
peace, if or a political equality. how is it
there is danger of social equality and Of
mi~scegenation Is there not q slight in
consistency here ? One Of the other propo-
sitions of this hypothesis must be lame;
either there is not that repugnance be-
tween the two races of which we hear so
much. or there is not that danger Of social
equality and intermarrying of the races, of
which the Democracy seem to be in so
much dread c EH RssvGss 1881. t-.

NEW MANUFACTURES IN NE
uAn M

~ AL I
A wooden and cotton factory are soon
to be built and set at work. in jackson
county, Oregon. Of the success of the
former, there can be no doubt. Sheep
raising has long been an established busi-
ness in Oregon. and there is no reason
why the ~monopolists of San Francisco
should longer continue to ship the wool
grown on this Coast to New York and
Boston for manufacture into cloths. Dur
ing the past year sections OF our State have
been thoroughly tried As sheep-raising
chimes, and the success attending the ex-
periments has resulted in . determination
to erect on the nayigable waters of the
Carson a factory for the spinning and
weaving of wool. Lowell capitalists have
the matter in hand and the contract is
even in negotiation for the bringing hither
of a cargo OF skillful factory girls, to tend
the machinery. The capacity Of the mill
it is now proposed to build will be fully
twice that Of the one at the Mission, San
Francisco ; and this is estimating its t0eaS-
ing capacity alone-the spinning jennies
to occupy a separate and as yet implanted
building, though it viii, Of course, be the
first erected and set in motion. WI are
assured that the most systematic and ex-
tensive wooden manufacturing business
has been programmed here, by competent
parties, that has ever been proposed or put
in operation. The best quality of sheep
are to be brought here, and their rearing
and shearing is to be under the immediate
superin,endence of the persons owning or
experimenting the mills-the stock in use,
of all kinds, being in the hands ofone set
of proprietors or one corporation. It will
be, as a mining company owning a mine
mill. 1t is believed that this is the first
instance Of such a combination Of proprie-
torship, in connection with wooden manu-.
featuring. Those same parties propose
erecting a paper mill in the vicinity of
their other and more important works.
A class of brown paper, that can be made
from the selvidge Of bark, is to be the
article produced by these works. Zone Of
the parties in interest informed US that it
was no COAX to say that there were enough
sold clo'es" cast of 'twixt here and Atchi-
son, on the emigrant road, to constitute
the body of paper that would serve our
American printers for a year! He came
across the Plains-and didn't like the
trip rr"r-
So we have the promise of iron furnaces
and wooden and paper mills even in u
desert State, within the year to come. If
we could find or bore some coal oil wells
in one of our southern counties, we should
be a very independent people, and exceed
ingly prosperous-railroad or no railroad
within the coming twelve months.

About a year since, there was a great
cutlery raised about insufficient ratiohs
being served out to the soldiers at the
Preside. A careful investigation of the
matter established the fact that there was
no cause whatever for such complaint.
More recently, however, some cases of
genuine imposition on the common SOL
diers have come to light in q form which
will not admit Of question. On Monday
evening last, officer Rodgers found ten
soldiers on duty at the Provost Guard
headquarters, who had not received a
mouthful of food that day. They had
been marched into town, through the
mud, from the Preside, before breakfast,
or at least without any breakfast at all.
and had not eater" 30 much as q crust
after their arrival. They were not be re-
lieved until the next day, and had he not
taken pity on them and bought each of
them a square meal they could haze been
hirty-siz hour, s0ithout food, in the brac-
ing air Of San Francisco. Such occur
renees reflect no credis to officers through
whose carelessness or incapacity they are
permitted to take place.
