tahlished auxiliary Leagues to promote the cause

those Benevolent Societies which have done
much for the Freedman, still We are conscious of
the fact that We must learn to rely upon our

useful, intelligent citizens
The State League is the only recognized organ
iration we, as colored people, have; and it
having performed its duties to the best of its
ability il was enjoned on US to call another Con-

troyed during the war;
1t will be seen that deeds executed before
October list, 1862. require new stamps. This
has been frequently published, but want of

EXCELSIOR IrExs.-We gather the fol-
lowing items in regard to Meadow Lake
District from a friend just in from that
place: The snow, when he left, was
Ave feet deep, with a good prospect OF
soon being deeper. The people, how
ever, were enjoying themselves to
The fullest extent, having dancing par
ties, etc. The California Company have
got the affairs of the company straight
ened up and have commenced work on
the shaft again. The Pacific Company
are at work, with the most cheering
prospects. The U. S. Grant Company
are running their mill all the time. The
ore is paying 500 per ton on an aver
age. The Golden Eagle Company's
claim, which vas located late last fall,
is being vigorously developed. When
the ledge was first struck it was ten
inches wide, and showed considerable
free gold. Since they have sunk on the
ledge some fifteen feet it is owe three
feet in width, and is said to be n Of
the richest gold veins in the State OF
California, the rock being perfectly
matted together with gold. The com
pany will have their mill in running
order BY the first of January, at which
time they expect to give a result that
will make the people of outside Districts
open their eyes. Quite a number Oh
other claims in the District are looking
exceedingly well. Prior to the snow
storm, good comfortable houses were
built near many Of the mines, and sew
eral claims are being worked through
tunnels; 50 the work goes on as vel! in
the snow as when there is none. We
shall expect to see some excellent de-
velopments made in Meadow Lake Dis
trict between this and next Spring.

VERY HEAvY.-That Champion"
bar, an account of which was published
yesterday in the News, and this morn
ing republished in the Enterprise, was
certainly the "soggiest" and ''heftiest''
bar of gold and silver the world ever
heard of-and we would give a good fee
TO see the team that hauled it out Of
washoe. Yea, we would give anything
10 see the assayer and the crucible that
boiled the metal, and the chap that
hoisted it out Of the furnace. Our re-
porter is q visionary 'cuss;' frequently
makes the remark about something
new, 'the richest thing you ever saw
"nothing ever like it, ''purtiest sight
ever laid my eyes on" ETC., etc. He
yesterday reported the Champion bar as
weighing n million SIR hundred and
.~eventy-6vs thousand and fifty pounds IN
ueight! Ditto in the E~nterprt's.) The
true weight of the Champion bar is just
one hundred and sixteen pounds-cer-
tainly a material difference in facts and
figures. THE truth is, old Brier, our
local reporter, last month went up on
Mount Davidson, at the dead hour Of
night, to see the meteoric shower-and
he has not been able to get the con-
founded visionary specks Of "castles in
the air. out of his old head since. The
meteors have been a species of ''Child's
Wish" in his mind lately. Hence the
very extraordinary weight given to the
Champion bar yesterday. But he will
get over il when the moon ~chsnges.)

By the Atlantic Gable

LONDON, December 3.-Two regiments
of troops have been ordered to leave
here to-day for Ireland. The Fenian
excitement is on the increase.
LONDON, December San immense
Reform demonstration is in progress in
this city. 1t is estimated that there
were ut least so, 900 persons in the pro-
cession, which formed an imposing fea-
ture Of the demonstration. 1t is a fact
worthy of notice that the Stars and
Stripes waved above the procession in
many places, and was frequently and
loudly cheered. The bands, too, seemed
to have caught the inspiration Of the
occasion and INDUCED in American airs
of a patriotic character. The greatest
order was maintained throughout the
demonstration, and great enthusiasm
prevailed. The moral effect of the whole
affair cannot be over estimated.
New YORK, December 4.-The Herald
says that a private Cable dispatch from
Paris was received in this city yester-
day which says, in effect, that no direct
reply has been transmitted by the
French Government to that of the
United States on the subject Of the i'm
mediate withdrawal Of the troops from
Mexico, or by instalments, rs was pro-
posed by Drouyn de L'Huis. Seward,
in his dispatch, demonstrates against
neglect, and asks for the prompt fulfil
ment of the promise which was received
by the United States in good faith, and
in the expectation that it would be full
filed. His remonstrance, however, was
wholly free from threat, though decided
and final in its tone. That any diff
Guilty will grow out of it is not believed
in quarters here, where the lengthy
message to Bigelow-so far as its gen.
eral character is concerned-is fully
known.
LONDON, Dec. 4-Noon.-The Police
Justices Of Cork have sent teIegraphic
dispatches to the authorities here ask
ing for more troops to preserve the
peace Of that city.
An enrolment of loyal Irish in Ireland
has been ordered by the Government.
The Government is determined to crush
out the rebellion the moment it breaks
out.
ROME, Dec. 4-Noon.-The evacuation
of this city by the French troops has
commenced.
BERNIE, Switzerland, Dec. 4.-The
Swiss Assembly has opened. In view
of the state of affairs in Europe, the
President urged an immediate arming.
