feeling prevailed among loyal men to deal

dare to aSSail conutry's sorrow. Then trail
tors hushed their scosching hiss, and naught
was seen or heard in Virginia, unless the

hands, ldSal hearts and loyal hemp, would
sonn have stopped traitors breath In Gold
Hill, two men-Coxey and BrOhill-did utter
this cursed Joy; they were seized BY the in
furiated crowd, and would have been hung at
once had not the police and citizens interfered
IL once, but a committee Of twelve tried the
traitors, and Coxey was publicly whipped,
when the Provost Guard and Sheriff Clark
appeared and took charge of the wretches,
and cheated humanity of justice. As before
stated, all Tor nearly ally buildings and public
business houses Of C street, Virginia, and
Main street, Gold Hill, were draped in en-
blems Of mourning. In Virginia the office
Of Wells, Fargo L Co., the Pioneer Stage
Office, the Bank OF California (most tastefally
drapedl, the stores Of Giilig, Mott & Co.,
Lewis Feusier 4 Co, Mclaughlin & Root,
Kirk & Co., Rice & Liyermore, the Union
and Enterprise buildings, Maguire's Opera
House, the County buildings, and others,
wore badges OF the universal grief. At No.

painted banner, inscribed: A Nation
mourns Nations loss," the whole shrouded
in sonnbre black. In several places We no.
ticed the portrait of the deceased President
draped in mourning, and surrounded BY
crowds with grave looks and fearful eyes
Last evening, we received the following com.
munication from q well-known gentleman OF
Virginia, whose inquiries are pertinent, and
whose demands should be complied with:
To the Local Editor of Gold HiH NeIcs
Permit me to ask if, in your wanderings
about Virginia City. you have noticed that
the houses, stores, or Offices, OF many we'll
known prominent secessionists are without
emblem or sign of msurning for the death OF
our illustrin1s President? knowing your
pen to be as fearless as your tongue in claim
ing for the memory Of Abraham Lincoln at
least an oustrcrd respect from these traitors,
] would be glad TO have you intimate that
Grape may be cheaper for them, than the out
ragged feelings Of LOYALTY.
In answer TO the above communication, We
will saw that with regret we have seen several
places of business, owned or occupied by Sc
cession sympathisers, devoid Of sign Of sor-
row. On street, south of Taylor, are pri-
waite residences of men who are well-known
as secession sympathisers, that bear no mark
Of 4 Nations calamity. Grape would doubt
less be cheaper, nv dear Loyalty" for there
are times in the tide Of mems affairs when
forbearance ceases TO be a virtue. Perhaps
some traitor Eve holds rein If so, for
shame on men who lose their manhood and
bow to such disgusting mandates Of trail
toress hand. We caution forbearance, and
hope no "hiRher law" will be appealed TO.
Time, with an honest scorn, will mark the
names Of such as mourn not, with immortal
infamy.
ABROAD.
In DAYTON the sorrow was universal, and
Judge HAYDEN, who was holding Court, adj
iourned all .egal business, and business gen.
orally was suspended, while nearly every
house was drapcd in mourning.
SILVER CITY,
loyaljto the heart, was overcome with grief,
and her outward sorrow was but the token Of
the real grief of her noble people, for Dayton
and Silver City are our banner towns in un:
diving loyalty TO the government Of the United
States.
CARSON
followed in the mournful train Of SORROW,
and business was generally suspended.
wAsHoE,
with her loyal people, mourned in heartfelt
grief, but there was one, a citizen, James
Pearson by name, who dared express his Joy,
and he was hunted TO the woods. detaeh-
men, Of the Provost Guard from the city Of
Virginia was sent for, and yesterday morning
the traitor was captured and brought TO the
Virginia headquarters Of the Guard, where
he awaits his trial BY stern tribunal, who
will dare TO do him justice.
THE rRCcXEE.
From the Truckee we hear rumor Of
trouble, but hope it is without foundation.
oRsEorIEH
Public obseeuies will be solemnized in Vir-
yinia and Gold Hill some day yet to be Sc
iected, and of which due notice will be given.
An ERRoR.-Some time since, one Of
our morning contemporaries stated that the
machinery of the Best s. Belcher mine had
been sold to other mines. and that the
> claim had ceased work for the future.
We are assured by party thoroughly
posted in the matter. that it is an entire
mistake; that one of the boilers Of which
the mine being supplied with two
was temporarily loaned for use at the
Bonner shaft of the Gould s Curry mine,
now being sunk on D street, but IS to be
replaced as soon as the boilers-of the
same size-of that company shall arrive
across the mountains. The reason why
work was stopped was that the Bonner
shaft now about the same depth as the
Best & Belcher shaft, is to be sunk to
much greater depth, and as natural con-
sequence will drain the ledge Of the Best
& Belcher Company, thereby enabling
them to open lower level at more re-
duced cost than could possibly be done
without such drainage. As soon as the
boilers ordered for the Gould & Curry
,han have arrived, the one taken down
will be replaced. and in few weeks the
Best & Belcher will commence work, by
sinking the present engine shaft to much
greater depth. and then diagonal drifts
win be run to prospect the ledge, which
from indications found in the Gould &
Curry mine, will be struck when the re-
quired depth shall be reached.
OPERA HousE.--Last evening Frank
MAYO made his last appearance, in "The
Poor Of New York" and, As usual, acted
his part with accuracy. Miss SAllie
Hinkley, in the leading female character,
never done better or won mo:e applause.
