GOLD HILL, NEVADA:
Eveniu1,..-August 16, 1858.
The New York Nsu, (Ben Wood,

The New York Mstrs (Ben Woods
paper) is out for negro suffrage. It takes
this position, It say $, nos from any morbid
love for the negro, but on the broad
Democratic ground that in a Republic,
the right Of voting inhcres in citizenship,
and that when the black ceased to be a
slave, he became a citizen, subject only to
State regulations in the exercise of his
franchise. Now for the deluge. As the
Neus is a recognized organ of the rebels, it
is to be supposed they have concluded to
favor negro voting as a measure of ex-
pediency.

FRoX KEARsARoE.-A correspondent
writing to the visalia Delta, from Fort
Independence, under date of July 2sth,
speaks as follows of matters at that place
and at Kearsarge:
Quite q large number Of persons from
Virginia City, Aurora and other places have
visited our valley since the discovery Of our
rich mines. But little progress has been
made in developing the mines since / wrote
you, but little more work having been done
on any Of the leads than was required by the
District laws as assessment work. Most Of
the time Of owners Of mines has been en-.
ployed In preparatory arrangements for work
Ing, such as making roads and trails to the
mines. To the extent however which work
has been done, on the various leads, it has
developed ores Of exceeding richness. The
Kearsarge Company are running a tunnel
which will strike the lead about fifty feet be-
low the surface and which will be completed
in about two weeks. Should the lead at that
depth prove to be a well defined one, with
ores anything like as rich as the surface ores,
il will establish the permanency as well as
the great wealth Of the mines, and give a new
impetus to mining operations in the District,
as it will give and establish confidence in the
.permanency Of the leads, many Of which
show as rich surface ores as the Kearsarge
mine. About twenty-five pounds Of rock
from a mine not far from Kearsarge was
given to the furnace for testing a few days
ago, which worked BY practical process six
hundred and sixty six dollars. The propri-
etors OF the furnace offered five hundred dol.
lars per ton for the rock. Messrs. Hughes
D.zl ..J NJ ~ fha A rf;n Gntd md Stlvar
Mining Co., as they have styled themselves,
have nearly completed m excellent trail to
their leads. They intend to get out rock
from some Of their best leads, and ! think
they have some Of the best in the District,
both in point Of size and quality, and have
rock worked here il it can be done success
fully, or else ship it TO San Francisco or
Virginia City. The furnace I understand is,
or will be ready for smelling in a few days.
But their charges are enormous. / think
they ask 5000 per ton for smelling.

A GRAssHoPPER PLAGUE.-T h e
Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel of June 1G
says:
General Sully, in a private letter
from Sioux City, gives the following in
teresting account of the grasshopper
plague which is desolating the region Of
country be has traversed. He says
The only thing spoken about here is the
grosshopper. They actually have eaten
holes in my wagon covers, and in the
'paulins that cover my stores. A soldier
on bis way here laid down to sleep in the
middle of the day on the prairie-the
troops bad been marching all night
His comrades noticed him covered with
grasshoppers, and woke him. His throat
and wrists were bleeding from the bites
of these insects. This is no fiction
Last year, about five days march from
the Yellow Stone, we met the army OF
grasshoppers on their way east. After
that | suffered greatly for grass, and
many of my animals died. The grass
hoppers made general cleaning down to-
this place, and here disappeared"

about the street till 2 o'clock in the
morning, and then went to the Kimmell
House, and from there pawned my pistol
at Georgetown, and went to my cousins
house in Montgomery county, where |
was arrested; the 10Th, following, after 1
was arrested, ! told Provost Marshal
Wells and Provost Marshal McPhail, the
whole story also told it TO Capt Monroe,
and Col. Wells told me If pointed out

had gone to Charles county in order to
cross the Potomac the arms which were
found in my room t the Kirkwood
House, and black coat, do not belong to

Harold called to see me and left the
coat there it is his coat, and all in il be-
longs to him, as you can see by the hand

with the name Of his sister, Mrs. Navlor.

RECONSTRUCTION IN VIRGINIA.
The following remarks of Gov. Pierpoint
OF Virginia to a delegation from Henrico
county, reveal some Of the difficulties
which he has TO contend with in restoring
political affairs TO their proper condition
81 assure you | am filed with anxiety
tor the future welfare of this great old
commonwealth. We were for a time
JostIed from our propriety. Our old com
monwealth was made the theatre of the
terrific and bloody strife through which

shades of political opinion, from all paris
OF the State, and finding them satisfied

cIrclm 3ances if we would. We baye to
accept tht great state of facts brought
about by tn war; and il would he very
unwise III Us to fall to quarreling and

up and restore our ,reat State in all bor

that those who try sincerely TO ( Ill.,
will succeed. If you will but makSbo

think it is right that every man WI
pays taxes and is loyal shall vote; but
do not think it is proper that men who
have been engaged in the rebellion, or
those who have not, shall combine to build
up political parties and use the power Of
the State for improper purposes. When
railroad, built to forward trade, COM
merce and agriculture, shall, for political
purposes, be so occupied in transporting
dead-heads that the tariffs have to be in
creased on freights, that road is perverted
from its legitimate uses and ends, and a
wrong is done. just so it is if the fran
chise be made use of only to put men in
to office.

ing done my duty. But | have great
confidence that shall have your support,
and that we shall work together har-
moniously. My two chief objects shall
be: first to get the State recognized
with officers so that our internal affairs
may be properly and efficiently managed !;
second, to get ourselves into our proper
political position under the United States
Government; to get the State reinstated
in its ancient and proper position. l

ate, to be temperate, in all things"

Fourth of July comes this year, on the
same day of the month as heretofore.

THE CRoPs.-From all parts Of the
country we receive encouraging accounts
respecting the crops. Despite the i'm
mense drain upon the labor ofthe country
made necessary by the war, greater
breadth of soil than usual in the North
ern State has been devoted to agriculture
In the Southern States the total over.
throw of a system of labor inaugurated
many generations ago of course causes
much embarrassment, and very little OIL
the great staples-cottou, sugar and to-
bacco.-have been planted; but consider.
able wheat has been harvested in many
portions, and the corn crop, which is
large, looks finely. In West Virginia
Maryland and New Jersey the wheat
harvest has already commenced, and a
wonderful yield is promised the reaper.
Probably the largest ay crop ever
gathered will reward the farmers of the
Eastern States. Fruit promises an enor-
nous yield, aud vegetables are every
thing in appearance that could be desired.
1t seems that to the blessings Of peace so
lately vouchsafed US is now to be added
the boon of a bountiful harvest.-Neto
York Herald.
