IRON ORE.-Active measures are being
taken. says the S. F. Mining Press, to call
the attention of capitalists to the wonder
full and extensive deposits Of iron ore,
which it is well known exists in many
portions Of California. One Of these de-
posts, and probable the most valuable Of
any, is located in Sierra county, and no,
far from Sierra City. This belt Of ore ex-
tends, so far as known, some thirteen or
fourteen miles in length, and 1000 feet
wide. The quantity in sight, it is esti-
mated, will exceed 1000, 900 tons. The
ore is Of a very superior character and
quality, and remarkably free from such
impurities as are generally found to pre-
sent the greatest difficulties to the smelter.

SUGAR COATED

A glance at the records OF some OF the
ex-rebels who have received the Executive
pardon, will convince any n that the
Presidents bleaching machine is as potent
as the patent nostrum which is "warranted.
to effect IN immediate cure, even in the
most alarming cases." For example, take
a few cases of Alabama pardons. which
have been recently put through with a
rapidisy suggestive of hard work on the
part of the clerks who fill up the blank
pardon certificates. Thomas II. Watts,
was at one time Attorney General of the
Confederacy, receiving the position for
"gallant conduct" as a colonel in the rebel
army. Leroy P. Walker was a rebel
Major General. and is the gentleman who
ordered the firing of the first gun at Fort
Sumter, and who in a speech declared that
he would plant the Confederate flag on
Fanuiel Hall" in Boston. ]. S. Pugh,
who abandoned his seat in Congress, at the
breaking out of the war, was a member Of
the Secession Convention, in which he de-
livered a speech, announcing that "he
would raise a regiment to go to Washing
ton and set the capitol in flames" J. L.
NJ. Curry, another ext Congressman, was a
life long secessionist of the Calhoun school,
and used his eloquent tongue in firing
the Southern heart" James NJ. Calhoun,
a nephew of the great South Carolina null
i6er, was one Of the rankest kind Of orig
inal disunionists. N. II. E. Dawson was
a Colonel in the rebel army, and was the
first man in his State to wear the rebel
cockade, in the first stages Of disunion.
Two brothers, named Lehman, have made
large fortunes by blockade running during
the war. "A. J. Moore was Governor Of
Alabama at the time the State seeded, and
it was he who ordered the seizure Of the
United States forts, arsenals and other
property in that State. But we will not
extend these illustrations Of Executive
magnanimity any further. Three or four
of the above named parties have not yet
been put through the machine, in conse-
quence of the great pressure Of business,
but they have been formally recommended
for pardon by Governor Parsons, which
makes their " calling and election sure"
These instances show that the President
was not actuated by bloodthirstiness, as
some mendacious parties insinuated, when
he so frequently repeated the expression
that " treason is q crime-the greatest Of
all crimes known to human law-andm must
be punished" He is carrying out this
determination now, but his punishments
are Of that kind which T. S. Arthur in
Aicts in his excellent moral stories-which
return good for EVIL, and entail upon the
victim a life of remorse for his misdeeds.
The mistake which the public made was in
supposing that the President intended to
inflict some sort Of physicG! punishment,
mild though it might be-. for the creates,
Of all crimes"

GOLD HILL, NEVADA:
Thursday EveninG,.----November 8, 1865

A BRANCH MINT. = There is unac-
countable delay in the commencement OF
actual work on this building. We have
heard all the excuses rendered by our
Senators, and they don't appear good, in
our judgment. The people. of Carson
ought to make special complaint in regard
to this matter. We know If Father Abra-
ham Curry inc gets the needed orders
from Head Quarters, he will take tigh,
hold of the stones and the building will
rise. Nye and Stewart had better make
a rush on this subject, or Ashley will dis
count them in this service to the State
the actual building of the Branch Mint.
There is certainly something unnecessarily
"tardy" in official enterprise as to the
great coming concern of Nevada.

The FENIAN LEADBR.-General Phil.
Sheridan, who was born in the county Of
Cavan, Ireland, is to be the Grand Center
of the Fenian Brotherhood. Sheridan has
been incorrectly reported a native of Perry
county. Ohio. In correcting this error,
an Irish correspondent of the Milwaukee
Sentinel says: ... .
"While his native land must eve CRATE
fully contemplate the generosity Of this
country in giving him, and such as him,
the highest military education, and a fair
field wherein to exercise their talents, she
is too poor to forfeit the credit of being
their motherland. Their fame is her
wealth, and that of Phil. Sheridan is q
precious gem indeed"

FINDING it an improbable assertion for
the Democracy, the San Francisco EzGm-
liner denies, with great mounting, that it
favored National "repudiation." Let it
attempt to explain or evade the plain,
obvious import of this extract which we
make from its former editorial on this
subject:
"Let the tax-ridden millions but say it,
and those finely executed ~engravings, in
whose figures are promises Of untold
wealth and luSuries that wealth procures,
become as worthless as waste paper that
flutters along the streets"

THE IRISH PloPLB."-The new Fenian
paper, appropriately named The Irish
People, appeared on Saturday. 1t is not
only a very handsome, but also a very
able paper. Its articles are instructive,
forcible and scholarly ; and on account Of
their historical and patriotic character, will
speedily take hold upon the attention Of
the Irish people. 1t is in all respects a
creditable representative journal, and is
the bes. Irish-American paper that has
been published here. 1t says: The
Irish People is conducted by Irishmen who
know their country and its history"

No ELEcrIoN.-The Copperheads think
there was no election held Tuesday, and
Frank Tilford concurs and says it was
nothing but a DID Black Republican rat
i6caion meeting. Fortunately, Frank
wasn't ratified. Poor. miserable old man,
with one foot in the grave, the other in a
whiskey barrel, and his head in a bag,
"he has outlived his usefulness" like
Beriah Brown. We expect to hear Of his
getting the tremens again.

DIseusrBD.-The Examiner is quite
disguised with its country. 1t thinks the
nation has gone to the dogs. Some little
time since it compared Mrs. Surratt to
Joan of Arc. More recently it expressed
the opinion that General Lee was the best
and greatest man in the nation, and ought
to be President Still later it declared
that "the American Government is the
badge Of lost honor and broken faith" I,
is al amazing piece Of kindness and con-
descension in such q heightened individual
as the Examiner man to continue to honor
this wicked abolitionized country with his
presence. We are afraid he will get des-
perate and emigrate.-S. F. Chronicle.
