relieve individuals Of the punishment Of

Congress should confer the necessary power

time before his death that the tendencies OF
large part of the Northern Wings to con

to appear. But the signs of this change did
appear. and Mr.. Webster saw and compr-,
hended their full import He meant to warn
me, as he did others, against hem; and the
manner in which he di! it, in my case, can
never forget. The scene was in that plainly
furnished apartment. his own chamber, in
the large house At Marshfield, now so mem

Nessrs Mitchell: Il take this Sunday
morning to write you few items respecting
this high up country and its mines. In the
half feet deep, with a chance for more, which
is rather drawback upon prospectors. How
ever, there is something doing, and some
showing upon claims will be made during
the winter. Work on the Empire is going
on in good shape. They are sinking large
double shaft off from the lead on the south
east side On the Fredona a tunnel is be-
ING run; and think the lead will be struck
one hundred feet deep by running tunnel
eighty feet, as the hill upon which it is To-
Gated has such steep pitch. Mr.. Fenton, a
New York man, is also working on some
claims here this winter, and seems to think
be has got the dead thing"
Work is also going on finely in some Of
the claims on the other side of the river, in
the Summit City section. The California
Company are running their mill with good
success, from what can learn. Senator
Winton has been running bis mill by water,
but stopped to put up steam works, as be
says water will not do to depend on in this
cold climate He crushed rock from the In
dian Boy lead, and it paid very well. There
is also another mill over there, The name Of
which has slipped my memory but at pres
ent it is not running. | could name many
edges over there that are considered good,
but work has been suspended upon them un,
til Spring. Among the most prominent are
the Phnnix Mohawk, U. S. Grant, Ken
lucky and Hidden Treasure. Your humble
servant owns one hundred feet in the Phoe,

omitted saying anything about the En-,
terprze. Work on the mill is going on
finely under the superintendence of Mr. Max

delstands his business. Work upon the Se-
bastopo is suspended until Spring.
No more about claims. We are away up
here in snow country, and it would make

Outrages by Soldiers.

The soldiers Of the l4h Regiment stal

outrages. The Alta says about O'Clock
Snnday morning the residents along Pacific
street west Of Tay lor, were treated to con
cert OF sweet sounds, curses, oaths, obscenily
groans, grunts and the reports of blows with
sticks and paving stones coming in contact
with heads or surrounding buildings, fJr
some half an hour or more. For this treat
they were Indebted to parties Of soldiers from
the Preside who were amusing themselves
by fighting each other, and knocking things
Tghl and left, for the fun Of the thing, no
body being within reach to- make a demons
stralion upon On Monday evening party
of Italian fishermen, Dominica Garasciuo,
Benedetto Parsaacqu and Antonio Parsal-
acqu having landed on the beach, between
Fort Point and Black Point, and built fire
to warm themselves before commencing fish
ing, were visited by party of eight armed
soldiers, who demanded their money, and
being answered that they had none, stripped
them to their underclothing and searched all
their pockets with most scrupuous care.
Failing finding money, the soldiers beat one
Of the parties severely, took from them n
heavy overcoat with hood cape lined with
red, and left.
The Call says: On Friday party of sol
diers were guilty of the meanest act we have
yet heard Of. They met children going to
school in Spring Valley and actually robbed
them Of the little provisions they we're car-
rying with them for lunch. We have been

were even more anxious for it then than now.
We can answer why. 1t is the moral and
political power and pressure of one million,
eight hundred thousand Democrats in the
North, together with many leading and ipflu.
ential Republicans. who were then and are
now standing like wall Of fire between
these cowardy Jacobins and their helpe
victims. 1t is this party and these men
thank God.-which the President of the
United States respects in his policy, and for
it be is entitled to the gratitude of every
friend of the country and humanity. But
for them the nation would have been dis
graced by slaughter that would have
thrown into the shade the darkest acts Of
history.
