TO THE MINERS OF MONTANA.

The Exposition Uniuersege to be held
at Paris, next spring, affords rare ep-
portunity to bring to the notice of capi-
talists in this country and elsewhere the
astonishing mineral wealth OF this Ter
ritory, and must not pass unimproved.
i have procured sufficient space to ex-
hibit any valuable quartz specimens, or
gold nuggets, that the miners here may
deem advisable to exhibit at the great
national exhibition, and recent letter
from the Commissioner at New York,
advises me that the specimens must be
forthcoming in that city on the first day
of December With your assistance,
the exhibition can be made creditable to
the Territory, and request you to act
without delay.
The nuggets will be safely cared for,
and sold there or returned, as the own
ers may desire. The quartz specimens
should be in triplicate-one for the Elk.

one for assay by Professor Charles A
Joy, of the School of Mines of that Col.

accompany the specimen exhibited. Any
specimens addressed to me, care of Pro

charges paid, will be properly attended
to and persons who feel an interest in
making our portion of the Exhibition
creditable, and have specimens of value
can rest assured that the interest thu
general government takes in this matte1

hibition. If no one from this Territory
shall be present, the Government Com
missioner will faithfully look to thi
matter of ours. The time for securing
an allotment of space has expired, ant
that obtained by Mr. j. T. Connor ant
myself is all we can secure; but it il

A CURIOSITY OF LITERATURE.

We notice that the traitors in the city
of New York, who printed rebel songs
and newspapers during the war, are seek
ing to make few dollars by publishing
novels for Southern readers. The plot
is very simple and extends through every
work, so that the perusal of this article
will save the trouble of reading many
pages. The hero is confederate "
officer, who slays hundred of Lin
coins marauders," and performs deeds
of unparalleled valor, which strike ter
TOR into the hearts of cowardly mon.
sters," like Sherman and Grant. The
villain is native of Massachusetts,, who
is relative of Garrison or Sumner, and
holds a high rank in the army of "van-
dals," that has been ordered to devas
tate the South. The noble lady is the
lovely daughter of wealthy planter
who shoots the "New England vaga
bond" that has murdered her helpless
father upon the sick couch. The de
praved woman is teacher under the
auspices of the "diabolical Freedman
Bureau" who instructs the "unfortu
nate and miserable victims of Lincoln's
vile proclamation Of freedom" to poison
their masters who have Saved then
from starvation"
The fate of these characters is very
appropriate. The confederate officer
survives and marries the planters child
who inherits riches by his untimely end
The despicable Yankee" drinks, by
mistake, the fatal cup. and dies in terri
bile agony, instead of the Southern bride
and repents that he has invaded &c tn.

their homes" The worthless school

Mr.. BEEcHER's Royal Truths" is a
work which was compiled without his
knowledge or consent, of selections from
his sermons and writings, by some en-
terprising British publisher. Mr.. Beech
er's attention was first called TO it while
he was in Wales, in 1858, when it was
spoken of in his presence, and much to
his astonishment, as one of his works:
Hearing of it in this manner. he procured

were really taken from his writings, and
that they were judiciously made, adopt

Gen. Grant is mortified that his Gin
cinnati remarks, addressed to the com
mittee who waited upon him in the
theatre box, should have been telegraph
ed over the country, as if addressed tc
the whole crowd outside. He considers
it incompatible with his duty as a soldier
to take any part in politics, and being on
the Presidents train by invitation, ht
has sought to shun any popular attention
to himself. Indeed such attentions have
been distasteful. He furthermore says
that whenever he shall take sides il

duty to resign, and retire from the army
| but now the President is his Commander
in-chief, and it is his duty to obey orders
and it is nobody's business to know
whether he personally endorses the Pres

MONTANA QUARIZ.-It is generally
understood that the future prosperity of
the Territory is dependent, to great
extent, upon the development of its
leads and ledges. The citizens know it's
wealth; but those who live in the States
are still cropping for information. When
ever tests are made upon tons of ore, in
stead of q few rich specimens, we shall
be eager to publish the results, because
capitalists will attach due weight to
reliable figures. G. F. Cope, Esq, Su-
perintendent and part owner of the AL
pine mill, in the Hot Spring district, has
kindly furnished the following state
ment Of facts, which can be multiplied
if every lode is subjected to the same
trial: Boaz lode, one thousand pounds
of unassorted ore yielded twenty-seven
ounces of gold; Pony lode, two tons of
rock yielded one hundred and seventy
dollars Galena lode, twenty-five tons
of quartz produced twelve hundred dol
lars; Prim Rose lode, five tons of rock
yielded four hundred dollars; Maiden
lode, five tons of quartz produced three
hundred dollars. In connection with
the above record, we quote from the
Helena Republican, of the 18th inst, the
following item: "Wessels and Wilkes
six-stamp mill, in New York gulch, yes,
terday. cleaned up, from thirteen and a
half tons Of rock, $1.326, in four days

seems incredible. Can such disloyal
conduct be denounced in too severe
terms? At the present hour. when the
feelings and prejudices that prevail at
the South should be assuaged and re-
strained, how utterly debased are these
Northern miscreants. who seek in this
insidious manner to stimulate them to
the utmost-the verge Of treason itself.
But these efforts are temporary in their
effect. The day will come when the
descendants of those that fought against
the government will be as ashamed of
the conduct of their ancestors as the
grandchildren of the tories of the revo-
luton.
