When the philanthropic Member o

When the philanthropic Member Of
Congress from this District came to
vote on the appropriation bill which
included the Soldiers Bounty provi-
sions as well as an increase Of pay for
the honorable member, at the last SEES
sion of Congress, he uttered some
very patriotic sentiments touching the
poor soldiers, and expressed his desire
to do him justice, and his horror at the
direful necessity he was under of vot-
ing, either to defeat the bounty provi-
sions or to put money into his own
pocket. He was in distressing di-
lemma. His tears flowed copiously,
He wept as one with breaking heart.
1t was SO cruel for such pure and
unselfsh law maker to be placed in
such circumstances. What could he
dop At this fearful moment, Mr..
Ferry, member of the 4th District,
came to his relief and remarked to him
that he had been in the same diem
ma, but had found his way out, by de.
termining to donate the sum appro-
priated as increase of pay to the de-
serving soldiers of his district. Happy
idea John f. was relieved at once
He too would donate-he would give
the soldiers of his District, the hated
appropriation. So he ended his ZACH
rymose performance, and with q
cheerful countenance voted-yea. The
bounty bill became a law, whereby
the fortunate soldier who had carried
his musket two years or more to fight
the rebellion, received the magnificent
sum Of $50. John +. rejoiced.--
1t was result of his labor. The in
crease of pay also became q law
thanks to the same capacious intellect
A petty $4,000 likewise came to the
open pocket of the astute John F.
He again rejoiced. He could now re-
lieve the poor soldiers of his District,
generous representative. He rould
do it--hardly. He has-not ertsnsirely.
Wouldn't it become the honorable
member to make some arrangements
to distribute this unfortunate $4,000.
We know some very worthy soldiers
who would be very happy to receive
their share of it while awaiting the
small pittance due to them under the
bounty provisions. What says the
innocent j. Ftp Does he confess that
his ostentatious and solemn declara-
ton in Congress, to donate this in
creased pay, was mere subterfuge,--
promise which sounded well to the
ear, but intended to end only in sound?
Oh! magnanimous briggs. The SOL
diers should build unto thee a monu-
ment and inscribe thereon, Glorious
in promises. he was infinitely false in
fulfilling them. Reqmescat IN Hades. -

fellow citizen of the laundry profession,) ont of

gneer, and not likely to engage in Improbable op

could be induced to make an examination of the

to make an examination Of the Idaho road, for
what particular purpose we know not. If it is with
view to any decision between the route and the one
through Nevada, We hope he may have abundan t

Gen. HALLEcK recently passed over the Nevada
route to IDAHO and We believe. while on his way or
dered a survey to be made for military road from
the Truckee river to Boise 1t is possible that his re-
turn over this route may have induced him to be-
lieve that it is the best and that there is toeraby
fair road already completed. If so, and il &c neral
Mcdowell is now making more critical examin
ton Of this route, with view of adopting it the
military road to Idaho we feel certain that his
verdict will be in favor of the Northern California
route 1t would certainly be preferable TO patching
out the Dutch Flat rams horn with military road
and the presence of Gen. Mcdowell here would
seem to indicate that the Department has finally
seen it in that light.

CorsTr ISFIRXARY MArTERs.-The Board of SD
pervisors have been overhauling the affairs of the
County Infrmary during the week, in accordance
with the suggestions Of the late grand Jury. They
are making some salutary changes, which
pected to result to the benefit of the unfortunate
sick who may be compelled to seek public charity.
Such institutions, however are never very inviting
and should not be considered Newport or Sara
toga, to which invads resort for the recovery of
their health. Public Hospitals are at best but
step from the grave, and the undertaken is often
the most constant and humane attendant. Still
the object of su Oh institutions is worth one and
II is gratifying to know that the Board deter
mined to render it servicable as possible. They
have removed Mr. MERRILL, and appointed resi-
dent Superintendent Mr.. W. Y. BLISS, Of Wyandotte
The appointment is good one, and under his d
recton it is thought that future grand juries and
patients will aud no reasonable cause for complaint.

OrHIR Mills These mills commenced turning
out -four the Sth instant, with two run of stone.
The other two will be ready in a day OF two,
when the proprietors, Messrs. PERKINS & Brooks,
will be able to supply Idaho and California with tn
staff of life at the rate of about four hundred bar
rels per day. We acknowledge the receipt of
sample sack, the first to which the brand of the
new mill was applied 1t is OF the choicest quality,
and was turned into peach dumplings and straw
berry shortchakes, in less than hour after it lett
the mill. The sack is to be preserved in a glass
until required for sanitary purposes in the next
war. They have been taking in grain to a limited
extent during the past ten days, and will soon be
prepared 10 receive all that may offer. May the
enterprise of the proprietors meet with unexampled
SUCCESS.

the north side Of that stream, where they connect

IsoN AND CISNABAR.-In addition TO the ledge
of iron ore which we noticed as having been loca
ted last week, we understand that another claim
has since been located and also a cinnabar claim.
The iron vein has been traced in souherly direc-
ton from near the southern boundary line of Plu-
mas county to point on the south side of Feather
river, Bidwell Bar. 1t is probable that ii may
extend still farther, and that its iron ore may be
found to have entered the soal of Yubs. At all
events, the discovery and location Of thess claims
has added material TO the resources Of Butte, and
those interested greatly encouraged in the be
lief thai they viii be found valuable and pgodac.

house in Oroville, on Wednesday evening. There
was much to amuse, crafty and astonish the young
folk and the little shavers there enjoying it.
There were also many middlea ged and elderly (beg
pardon, ladies) and gentlemen present, who did
not appear 10 dislike it. From all of we conclude
that the proprietors have mertorious show, and
commend it to those who would spend pleasant
evening, and witness the intense delight of the lit

an Italian opera that they cannot understand. We
