silver Mining.

The immense wealth of the Silver mines of
Nevada is but little known on the Atlantic
coast, and until the past winter no efforts have
been made to secure it. Now, however, our
business men and capitalists are turning their
attention toward the mining of the precious
metals on the Pacific slope, and associations of
capital render the advantages to be derived
from this enticing enterprise within the reach
of all, even those OF moderate means The

RADICAL ABUSE The hot-headed radicals

President Johnson: lie said he had hoped
when General Lee surrendered to Grant we
had heard the last of Southern chivalry and
seen the last of Northern sycophancy and
funkeyism, but he was mistaken, and the
same class of men who formerly yielded to
every demand Of the South, were again, with
Andrew johnson at their head, seeking to
propitiate their Southern neighbors. ..

FAILURE OF THE FENIANs.

The failure of the late impotent demon
stration on the British possessions on our bor-
der was so complete, that it is hardly worth
while to waste words and space about it.
OMahony will soon be counted with the great
many who have gone before, known but to be
forgotten. He has been tried, his power wan
ed and has fallen But now Killian his right
hand man, his adviser, as the Old One was
the adviser of Eve-to prove her downiall-is
on trial. The revelations that will be made
if they could be published, will no doubt, open
heretofore blinded eyes as to the money doings
of the great Fenian Brotherhood The Fen
ian Senate Roberts side is now in session,
debating as to what action should be taken on
the arrival of Stephens in n. York, where he
is daily expected. Stephens denounced the
Roberts party, it will be remembered, and in
dorsed the OMahony. Now that OMahony
is down it is an interesting question to ask
how Stephens will accept any courtesies from
the "traitors" or whether he himself will be
told to go to the deserted mansion at Uuion
Square, the Fenan head quarters.

SECRETARY STANTON The reported, and
now to be credited, news from Washington is,
that the Secretary has cut the radicals, and is
now, in good faith, supporting the Presidents
restoration policy. The Secretary, it is be-
heved, snuffs the rising public opinion, and
abandons the whole concern. No item Of
news has thrown more CONSERVATION among
the radicals than this-for they looked upon
this Secretary as their main man. 1t is not
his desertion alone that creates the consterna-
tion-but the conviction that his instinct pro-
nounces them dead, and that to save himself
he must quit them Friday, in Washington

NEGRO RIOTS.

The following calm and sensible remarks
we copy from the last Lynchburg Republican:
We NAV see in the recent bloody riots in
Norfolk, and the still more recent ones in
Memphis, the beginning of the end of the war
of races which mad and heartless class of
Jacobins at the North are determined to force
upon the South and which is to result event.
ually in the determination of the negroes.
These riots once fairly begun, will have no
end except in the blood of the last OF the
colored race The people Of the South are
never going to submit to either social or polit-
ical equality with their former slaves, and all
the laws and constitutional amendments and
armies in Chrstendom cannot make them do
it. God has made distinction as broad and
as deep as that which divides the day from
the night, and it is not in the power of man
to obliterate that difference.
If let alone, and permitted by the Jacobins
to seek their natural level and fill their prop
er sphere the negroes would last for long
time and subserve useful purpose for the
country and themselves But deluded as they
have been by false dreams and promises, and
pulled up with.a vanity that is entirely I'M
natural and impossible OF realization, it is
mnch to be feared, that they will continue to
repeat these insults and outrages, until the
white people will find their only safety and
security in war Of determination.
The Norfolk riot was commenced by the
firing of pistol by drunken negro, while
negro procession was passing along the
streets The Memphis riots was instigated
| by an attempt Of some negroes to rescue a
mean white man from the police. Many
| lives were lost, and many houses burned, and
large number Of innocent negroes were
made to suffer in life and fortune for the con-
duct of the guilty. Let these riots be kept
up for a while longer, and there will not be
a negro left to tell the tale, while in the
bloody carnage no doubt thousands of whites
will also perish This is the terrible work
which Radicalism is now forcing upon the
South. - Lynchbaug Republican.

OLD MEPHIsToPHELEs.- Mr. Stephens, of
Pennsylvania, being asked in the House the
other day where he found the authority to
make appropriations for schools, asylums
and other expenses upon the freedmen, re-
piled in "the law of conquest So between
the laws of war during war. and the law OF
conquest when war is over, the people OF the
South are politically as powerless as ever
the slaves were upon their plantations or
Indians and minors. When men make up
their minds to do desperate deeds, they are
always ready to find a reason for their vio-
lence, Mr.. Stevens at the beginning of the
war laughed to scorn those who stickled
about the Constitution, as in Pennsylvania,
years ago, he damned the consciences of
those of his own party who offered any scru-
pies about their conduct in the Legislature
