The above heading is not intended as
an imputation that the British nation are,
as mass, incapable of truth but when
we read truthful paragraph upon Amer
lean affairs from British pen, it is wor-
thy of notice. The following Is from the
the London Spectator: =.
"The reticent, statesmanlike' seinsh
aristocracy, the slow. loud-tonSueo' un-
selfish democracy, each left to itself, each
guided by its own highest average and
no more, has been fighting out foot TO
foot, and face to face, as the Athens and
Sparta of the New World, the ancient po-
litical battle of mankind. Had General
Mcclellan been elected, that battle "ouli
have been lost, for the North would hay"
announced that 1t cared not ii 1t were won'
cared only for the side-issue' us own I'm
perial power. As it is, consciously and
with full knowledge, after nearly four
years of battle, after the offer OF peace
with the end unsecured, it has pronounced
by three-fourths majority that through
hardships and defeat, and financial ditti-
Guilty, though its lands be covered with
hospitals and its cities filled with bank
rupts, though every family weep for its
sons, and the course Of material eiviliza-
ton be thrown back centuries, 1t is ready
to fight manfully on, rather than that free
dom should prove chimera not essential
to grand national life. The reelection
of Mr.. Lincoln evidently means freedom
for all; for the Lancashire operative as the
slave; for the serf of Mecklenburg-Schwe-
rim as much as the freemen Of Maine, that
the conflict between these principles, which
has been raging since Athens and Sparta
alike yielded to alien sway, shall be fol-
lowed steadily out to the end. r'H>

The $500. ONa. 900. Loan.

The commercial editor of the Aka says
of this new loan
A six hundred million loan bill has also
passed the Senate. The nature of this
bill has not yet been published, but it Is
intimated that it will bear paper interest
only. The distinction between gold and
paper interest, it should be borne in mind,
Is only temporary, since all the debts and
obligations Of the Government must ulri-
mately be put on the same footing, and all
be paid by taxation in gold value. There
are now three leading descriptions of pa
per issued by the Government, viz. paper
currency, securities bearing interest in
paper, and securities bearing interest in
gold. On the return of peace all these
must be paid in gold. and the currency
absorbed by taxation. or funded into a
gold stock. An impression seems to ex-
ist among a portion of. the public not
skilled in financial questions that the de-
cline in Government paper, as compared
with gold, is caused by certain discredit
or speculation. Nothing of the kind ex-
lists in fact. \ community which has in
two years and half taken $2,l00,000,-
900 of Government securities, besides
making 800. 100000 of voluntary sub
scriptions, in its aid, cannot be said to
have any want of confidence. On the
contrary, no other country in the world
could have issued half the paper in the
same time without destroying Its value
altogether.

BREAKING UP.

This Is the eighty-Seventh of the ninety
days to which the Legislature is limited by
the Constitution. Three days more will
close the gorgeous scene. and the halls
which echoed to the tread of Bien will be
silent and deserted. One by one the
wesried franchlse-makers are already lay
ing aside the legislative toga, obtaining
leave of absence for the remainder of the
session, and returning home to engage
once more in the peaceful and genial pur-
suits of intoxicating and draw-poker.
Carson will be deserted, but the scent Of
those roses will hang round it still. The
trusty servants of the people will, OF
course. settle their small whisky and other
bills, and, for time, there will be relief
from the long financial pressure in that
alkaline city; and the absorption of the
trash - of the Legislators will :" leave
them poor indeed" Poor in purse, but.
in fame" rich. Their brows bound
round with oaken wreaths, they will re-
turn to their " constugents," each with a
Homographic Chart in his pocket, to be-
oueath 10 his children as their patent Of
nobility. And when, in future years,
their descendants shall stand by the sage
brush that waves above the grave, and ex-
claim " here lies an ancestor who was one
of Nevada first Legislators" even the dry
and marrowiess bones will feel thrill of
pride. and or the chill wind will be borne
a hollow whisper Damn the Veto"

Favorable Indications in the South.
The recent manifestations of Union
spirit in the South, are among the most
cheering indications of the times. Wher-
ever our arms have accomplished signal
victory. Union men have most unexpect-
eddy made their appearance in numbers,
sometimes with demonstrations of abso-
lutte Joy and doubtless e. DIXIE" is full of
such loyal hearts-who' would have re-
ioiced to strike a blow in favor of the
Union, if their own predictions had not
been suppressed by the iron sway of des-
potism. At least, let US hope so, for the
sake of that old fraternal feeling which we
expect to see prevailing among all the
local spirits of the land when the struggle
is over. The feeling of disgust toward the
governing powers of the bogus Conteder-
acy is becoming general in the South, and
there are rumors that Jefferson Davis, first
land LAST President of Secessia, will be
eventually obliged to smuggle himself out
of his beloved country in very inglorious
manner, to avoid indignities at the hands
of his compatriots which might compro-
mise the safety of his head. The South
erners are an impulsive people, and when
once they find out how grossly they have
been deceived, the revulSion will be some
thing terrible to witness. AS the lorna
does and tempests of southern laitudes
are fiercer in their action and more terri
BILE in their effects than any elsewhere
known, so the rage of the Southern heart,
when fred BY the full realization of its ac-
tual wrongs, will be of nature to startle
the civilized world. Those wrongs, it is
lust beginning to learn and to admit, did
not proceed from the government of the
United States, and we shall yet hear from
their own lips the acknowledgement that
the administrative system under which we
live is the most perfect that has ever been
devised to meet the necessities of man.
Of course there is considerable class
which will persist in regarding that gov
eminent as a yoke, and will spit out its
venom against the North whenever it gets
chance. To these it only remains to re-
commend emigration to the new-found
White Mans Land of ex-senator, Duke,
Magnifico or Viceroy Gwin, where, how
ever, they will stumble against race of
colored people who boast of being at least
as free as themselves, and of never having
rebelled against their native land.-Fag.

Hill, to be erected on the town lot in front
of the station-house. The plan was drawn
up by an architect in Virginia City, and
if the building is constructed and finished
according to the plan, it will be the pref
test and most ornamental building in
town, except ST. Johns Church. Mr..
Lee, and the other members of our Hose
Company, deserves credit for the zeal and

cient Fire Department for our town and
we bespeak for them the kind assistance
