BULL1oN.-Very erroneous opinions pre-
vail with many people as to the amount of
bullion produced in this State. Last year we
shipped little rising of 5000 600, and
this was very nearly half of the entire
amount shipped since the discovery of silver
mines in this State-only some forty-two or
three millions, certainly not to exceed forty
five millions. We..think it safe estimate to
set the amount for 1865 at twenty millions !;
1t may fall short, it is barely possible that it
may overrun that amount. Estimating our
popuiatson at fifty thousand, this sum will
barely pay our board. 1t still requires
magnificent imagination to realize our great
prosperity Carson Post.

SHERMAN TO HIS QUARrERMAsrER.-T
United Service Magizine, in an article on
the Quartermaster' Department, says that
when, in May. Sherman started to open the
campaign from Chattanooga" Sir,'' said
be to the Quartermaster at Nashville. Il
shall move from Chattanooga when the Lieu.
tenant General orders me-ready or not
ready. And if you don't have my army
supplied, we'll eat your mules up, sir !"-
And William Tecumseh;no doubt thoroughly
meant it ; but the Quartermaster was up to
time and saved his mules.

CAUTION TO ENIGRANTs.-On the route to
Idaho, between here and Humboldt, we are
informed by old emigrants, that there is much
poisonous herbage, such as fox hay, wild
parsnip and snake bean. The first proves
fatal to horses in eight or ten days, and
should be picked out when discovered. The
others are fatal to cattle, unless they;are bled
by cutting the ears and tail as soon as they
are observed to stagger.-Dayfoa 7verada)

Presenting Arms.

Ore of the heaviest of the German soldiers
had the duty of mounting guard at one of the
ducal bunting seats; and, not to perplex the
poor fellow, one single notion, and no more,
was rammed into his noddle-namely, that
he must present arms to the Duke should his
hIghness pass that way. He was then lett
to his cogitations, which, we need hardly say
were of that class described by Dibden in his
| song, who, we are told was thinking of moth
ing at all. Tired of his transcendental mo-
notony, the man had recourse to the univer-
sal German solace = his sausage and his
schnapps. The better to enjoy these, he LAID
his firelock on the grass, and lolling against
tree, discussed his creature comforts with
due voracity. While thus engaged he saw
an unpretending person approach, dressed In
the com mon German hunting dress, sort of
green smock frock, feathers, and continual
tions.
Good appetite to you !" said the new
conner; 8 what are you eating?"
'GuessW gruffly answered the present
soldier.
''Oh. perhaps rothwurst." said the Duke,
(fcr the sportsman was no less parsonage.
I" No, something better than that"
6 Probably leburwurst'
" No, something better than that.v
=" Probably mettwurst"
Rothwurst. leburwurst and mettwurst NAV
be called the positive, comparative and su-
perlative degrees of the German sausage.
" Yes. And now you know all about sau-
sage, pray who are you?"
Guess" said the Duke.
Oh, perhaps you are one of the Dukes
pages
" No. something better than that"
Then you may be one of his aid de. camps
in Disguise
" No, something better than that"
. Perhaps you are the Duke himself"
"Yes."
q Indeed, are you? Just hold my sausage
for moment-for my orders are to present
arms to you.'
The Duke always related this anecdote
with infinite glee.

BACK BoNE.-Now that clouds of sorrow
are passing away from the clouds overhang
ing our country, and our heart-stricken peo.
pie are brushing away the rrepressible tears
from their cheeks, their eyes naturally turn
towards the pilot who is now at the helm of
the Ship of State at Washington. Andrew
johnson is now the head and chief of our
Nation, and it is well that we should all
know of the material he is composed. Here
is an extract from speech which be deliver.
ed in tho United States Senate, In 1861,
when he had that archtraitor JEFF Davis, ,un-
der his immediate eye, and when the infa.
nous rebellion was just ripening. Read it:
He spoke from the desk adjoining that occu.
pied by JEFF. Davis, and almost shaking his
finger in the face of the arch traitor, he ex-
claimed: % If were President of the United
States, | would arrest you as traitors-I
would try you as traitors-and if convicted.
/ would, by the Eternal, hang you as traitors. !"

invade the capital. ;,
Mr.. Brooks did not believe the rebels would
ever again approach the capital 1t he had
been correctly informed, and he supposed his
information came directly from gentlemen IN
timatey connected with the Administration,
an armistice was proposed by the rebel Com
missioners, but it was rejected; and, further,
that it was not the intention of the rebels to
enter upon acts of invasion, but to contine
themselves to TIE defence of their own soil.

Tonight Miss Emma and Miss Ada
Webb, SO well known and so popular in
this city, will make their first appear

landlord, and the first man who raised
the rents in Norfolk, King P0whatan.

the latter will be a scene of the new
water works, and another of Norfolk a
hundred years hence. Attend tonight,
