PLAIN TALX.-General Logan made one
of his most eloquent and stirring speeches
to the Union men Of Jersey City lately.
He commended earnestly for the ratification
of the anu-slavery amendment to the o n
stitution of the United States, and for
keeping rebels out Of power. When
they ask me-" exclaimed the gallant son of
Illinois, why did you leave the DEM
ocratic party and unite with a different
organization" l tell them that their as
sociations are bad. I want at least to be
associated with men who have not the
faint Of treason about them, and with men
whose hands are not dripping with the
blood of martyred Unionists." General
Logan is the same kind Of a Democrat that
Andy Johnson is. The loyal people of
the country who elected the latter to his
present high-ofice need have no more fear
of his going over to the C~opperheads and
enemies of the country than that General
Logan will. The thing is simply impos-
| sible in both cases.

MORE TRUTH THAN PoBrRy.-The fol-
lowing beautiful description Of a loving
couple standing before the bridal altar,
preparatory to bliSsful repose, we find in
one of our exchanges:
Chapter LIST. She stood beside the altar.
with a wreath of orange buds, upon her
back the richest kind Of duds /; her lover
stood beside her, with kid gloves and
dickey clean, the last was twenty-one, the
Rrst was seventeen. The parson'sjo job was
over, one had kissed the bride, and wished
the young folks happiness and laughed
and danced and cried. The last kiss had
been given, and the last word had been
said, and the happy pair had simmered
down, and the last guest had fled.
Chapter I'd. She stood beside the wash
tub, with her red hands in the suds, and
at her slipshod feet there lay q pile Of dirty
buds. Her husband stood beside her the
crossest man alive-the last was twenty
nine years old, the first was twenty-five.
The heavy wash was over and the clothes
hung up to dry-and Tom had stuck His
finger in the dirty baby's eye. Tom had
been spanked, and the supper made, upon
a crust Of bread. and the bride and BRIDE
grom went grumbling of to bed.

A MISTAKE. - Yesterday, John Doe
James was taken down to the Warm
Springs Hotel de Stone, 1t. Governor
Crosman, proprietor. Sheriff Clark, who
is q great personal friend Of John C. James,
member elect to the Legislature from Sto-
rey, thought he would get off q good joke
on John c., and accordingly passed of
John Doe James as the veritable candidate
for Speaker Of the Assembly. Jake likes
a joke, but our James don't see it in that
light, and swears vengeance on the Sheriff
if he ever comes up for Office again. The
Piute seemed highly pleased when the
Doe was erased from his name and the C.
inserted in his cognomen. eve would
"wsllop" Clark if he ever played as that
way.)

BULLION SHIPPED.

It is q common local.item heading-the
daily caption Of the most u~npretending,
the most concisely stating paragraph Of
our daily issue. Yet what a weight Of
fact, what strength of Storey it telleth.
For the month of November, Wells, Fargo
s Co., Of this place, shipped to San Fran.
cisco four hundred and eight thousand three
hundred and sepsn dollars in bullion. Mark:
this is from the Gold Hill Office, alone.
The probabilities are that this amount will
be exceeded every month for the next ~
to come. It is certain to be equalled.
This will give for a years yield from our
mines, four million eight hundred and
ninety-nine thousand six hundred and
eighty-four dollars. None can challenge
these figures; and they nuoun Gold
Hill to be the richest coin raising and
clearing port in the world! The Pacto-
liam waters that our buckets raise, from
day to day, contribute and aggregate a
stream of wealth unparalleled in the his
tory Of mining. And this has been and
is to be a regular revenue to the hard cur
rency Of the earth's money market. New
works are being placed in operation, and
while n halts in yield for a week or two,
up goes the scale to the old or to a higher
mark, by the proceeds from fresh wells,
or from ancient shafts, having new head
gear for the more expeditions hosting of
ore. 1t is Of the nature Of such work as
makes noise in our street, to DO positively,
incontrovertibly productive, beneficial in
the most literal economic sense. A dollar
is a dollar; and the time for depreciation
in the value Of precious metals has not
come again, and will not come for many a
year in the future. Barley and coal oil
may auctuate in value from high to low
but
Bullion is a GODDESS great,
or most majestic mien

And Of o Silver Queen!

NEWLY DISCOVERED MEXICAN Cry
The ruins of an extensive Mexican aborig.
inal city, which have just been discovered,
are situated in the forest of Jicorumbo, in
the province Of Tlaxicala. The temples
are Of immense size, some with vaulted
roofs, and so well preserved, that ancient
paintings appear fresh. The courts are
Allied with hideous and grotesque idols,
and pyramids surmounted by the same.
The whole is enveloped in q dense forest
of cedar and ebony trees. Some Of these
cedars are of such immense size, that eight
men taking hold of hands together could
not reach around one Of them. These
forests are on healthy table lands, about
fifty miles from the port of Tuxan.

Our PRorseE, FRANK.-The Examiner
rises as if to plead in defense against US in
behalf of Frank McCoppin. Sit down,
Ben. We knew Frank many q year ago.
We spoke in his favor ourselves. We
didn't want to see the young man lose
another canvass; our advice had been
stronger against his running for State
Senator from San Francisco. if we had
thought he would have been elected by
the Copperheads. He is now spared that
disgrace. which would have been incura-
BILE, and keeps his good "sit" on the
Market Street Railroad. Frank is a good
fellow; and will vote the Union ticket so
soon as he can get out his naturalization
papers.

1t has seemed to us, for a long time,
that the inventive genius of the country
was in great degree, in most instances
misdirected, 80 far as search and expert:
ment for mining advantage is concerned.
New styles of stamps, new forms for
crushing, combinations of pulverisers and
amalgamators all these are Of uncounted
number and undescribed variety, for every
day brings forth q claimed original or i'm
provement in this class Of machinery.
Win not the aesideratum be found in q
volatile-maguet which will supercede
quicksilver, and touch and take the ele-
ments in the dust TO separate places. or
sediment the silver, in a brief space Of
time: It is impossible to disbelieve the
prophecy that the day of Emancipation
from the slow pan scale is soon to be
passed, by a Yankee trick, saving weeks
in time and millions in labor. There is q
NECESSITY for the character Of invention
indicated /; and necessity knows no law,
other than herself to be the mother Of a
disclosure of the best secret natures help
full cunning can afford. We often in
dulge in the expectation-not to be treated
as a vagarie Of imagination-of seeing the
capacity of our mill buildings manifold
multiplied, by the substitution Of a pro-
cess as simple, as efficient, rs speedy in
the thorough elimination of the precious
metal as the stamps or rollers are quick to
reduce the rock to powder. The discovery
must come. It cannot be long delayed.
The Nation, the world, waits for the reyo-
luton Of the ore-gin. And then, o, then,
confessing that the discovery is soon to be
made, think or dare to attempt to imagine
the flow Of wealth in this country. Have
the cost of mill manipulation on the hard
est rock fixed at SO per ton-a high figure
under the expectations we have explained
and where is the arithmetic Of our
riches! Our present yields Of bullion will
read in recent history as vulgar fractions,
when compared with the integers Of the
days delivery. Gold and silver will not
be drugs in the market; but the plate Of
the poor man will change from China to
silver, andlawyers will drink out Of golden
goblets, and the ladies will wear no less
than silk, with point lace, and jewelry so
much as they can carry for display. In
these days, will civilization, humanity,
truth and justice advance and prevail, and
cover the face Of the earth as the waters
cover the sea-
All, who shall mix the acids to bite the
excellent out Of the rock in a twinkling;
who shall find or fashion the friendly
gatherer of precious particles even as
they are loosed and separated from the
alloy of earth: Better in his estate will
that one be than was CrGsus or are the
Rothschilds. May he come forth with his
treasured Art eliciting treasure; and may he
be accepted in the New Jerusalem, where
streets and houses are of fine gold and
c~ostliest and most beautiful of stones. So
mote it be. May lie meet there, the inyen-
tor Of the printing press, the steam engine,
the power-loom, the cotton-gin, the tele-
graph and the sewing machine-and the
reader hereof.
