THE UNION RECORD.
The Mines.

II is 10 be hoped that the attention which
is now being directed to the development of the
mines of California will serve to prevent the
usual wild rush to mining excitemeuts in the
Territories. next Spring-st least to a certain
extent. There are undoubtedly rich mines in
abundance in the State, overlooked 10 the ex-
elements prevailing elsewhere, 10 which CAPT
tai alone is required to command success. The
great advantage Of accessibility is beginning
to attract the attention of capitalists. and the
exercise Of the proper amount OF wisdom in the
right direction, through miners conventions
and by legislative enaciments, would doubtless
increase mining operations hundred fold. OF
course, great care will have to be exercised to
prevent laws from operating against, rather
than for, the interests OF the miner, and it is for
the purpose of discussing the subject in all its
bearings that convention of miDers should be
held Without full expression Of miners as
to their wants, legislative action may prove
injurious instead OF beneficial. The Shasta
Courier says legislative action upon our mining
interests is needed to this extent, and DO more:
that every claimant Of mining claim shall, If
possible, work it, Such q law would put 40
end 10 mining on paper; notices would only
serye as guides to the prospector who means
business, indicating the way to place where
rork could be made profitable. The Sacra-
mento Union says on this subject
We hear that there is some hesitation in
investing in led yes believed to be rich on
account Of the dread of litigation. These
lodges were taken up long ago, worked awhile
and then abandoned But the fact of aban-
donment is TO be proved to the satisfaction of
IL jury, 10 case the old claimants renew their
claim-and they frequently do so when the
mine they relinquiShed turns cat TO be rich
and capitalists are not disposed to take the risk
OF ejecIment after spending their money. The
Idaho Legislature met similar difficulty by an
Act applicable to the whole mining region of
that Territory, tending to give good title to
men who were actually working the mines. If
such law were passed at the next session of
our Legislature, litigation would be diminished
and additional inducements would be offered
for the development of the wealth now slum-
5erlng in our rocks.

Pie Best RoUTE.-We see almost every day
people returning from Idaho to winter in Cali
iornia. On two points they all agree-f first, as
to the exceeding richness OF the mines in Idaho,
and the great superiority of The California over
the Oregon route All whom we have con-
versed with intend returning in the Spring, and
by this road, ard expressed the belief that
when the advantages of this road become more
generally known, it would be the only road
travelled between Idaho aud California.-S ,s-
sanriHe Sage Brush.
Weare informed that parties are now making
arrangements to establish fast freight lire r,s
Susanvlle to Idaho, and that they will con-.
nence their trips early in the Spring, and thus
save the people of that great mining region
from he starvation prices" inflicted upon them
by the Oregon spectators aud their snow
biockaded, roundabout route. We believe that
next Spring will witness nearly complete
diversion of the trade to the California route
by the way of Susanyille, as its superiority
over all others is becoming very generally
known through the experience OF those who
bave tried it this year.

The President and the Rebel Debt.

johnson TO the Governor of Georgia has been
Published:
WASHINGTON, October 2Sth.-To II. Y.
Johuson, Provisional Governor of Georgia

Government of the United States. Ii viii DO,

people of Georgia, when left gniDfueuced, will

The above should put quetus TO all the silly
talk of certain defiant rebels, like the CaIifor

Ii may, also, enable them 10 see that President
johnson is not just yet prepared TO throw him
self into the embrace of Copperheadism, nor 10
blot out the glorious record be has made for
himself in the past. While the President
holds that the rebel States have never been
out of the Union, he does not say, nor intimate,
that they may not again, as in the past, subject
themselves to military rule by pursuing policy
IN violation Of the National Constitution, aud
tending to elevate State above National au.
