Winter season in this City.

The increase of city population of late
has been very susceptible. There are
more people upon the sidewalks and
more people domiciled by at least 5000
in Winter than in Summer. On a pleas
ant day the gay procession which
| throngs the sidewalks of Montgomery
street, is one of the noticeable sights of
the city. Many persons of means who
can choose their place Of residence,
aside from business considerations, live
in the city during the Winter, and go to
the country in Summer. But these are
but a small fraction o: the number who
| seek the metropolis at this season. The
| miner whose claims are in the noun
| famous and snowy regions Of the State,
| and Territories further North, where
operations are necessarily suspended
for II season, prefer to spend the raca-
ton in the city. Those who have made
s'strikes" arc pretty certain to drift to
the commercial center 10 find here some
compensation for much hard work, eX-
posure and privation. There is also n
fund of information about all matters
of mining and other industrial interests,
to be obtained more surely by personal
| interviews with men on change. Sales
| and transfers of large properties are
more readily effected when men and
| capital meet thus, than in remote parts
OF the country. These winter residents
are often the busiest of men. Their sur
plus funds are generally deposited here,
and they give life to all departments OF
trade. There are fewer vacant houses,
and the greater part of the respectable
lodging rooms are occupied. The city
is comparatively full, and yet slows
away an extra thousand nearly every
week without any sense Of uncomfort-
able crowding.
Then there are crowded into these
charming winter days a pretty full COM
pensation for the raspiug, dismal days Of
summer, when wind, sand and fog hold
high carnival. One cannot fairly TAKE &C
count o four climatic advantages without
having spent a Winter in this city. When
the cities of the Northern Atlantic sea-
board are s~now-bound or frost-bound,
we look off upon green hills and rejoice
in a wealth of springing grain and buds,
and opening blossoms. The birds sing,
the gardeners are busy; soft vernal
showers descend, and .'the little hills
rejoice on every side"
We recently saw a fine lot Of oranges
and lemons with green branches brought
to this market, which were raised at a
point not more than $50 miles from this
city. And handsome specimens a be
found growing in the open air now, moi
more than fifty miles from this point
There is far greater exemption
from suffering among the poor by
reason of this absence Of cold
less fuel is required, less food and cloth
ing. There is great gain for the poor
and the rich in n climate where one has
not to battle continually for life against
the elements, and where winter is only
a gentle and imperceptible transition
from summer to spring. The rough
trade winds Of July and August &c
sometimes provoke unamiable moods,
but the gentle days Of winter restore the
eouilibrium.-S. +. Bulletin l2h.

SEWING MAcHISEs.-Every family il

necessary implements. The work of 9
week with the fingers may be done or
one of these machines in an hour, and
with less labor than plying the needle
for the same length of time. Thereart
at the present u great variety Of these
machines, the leading ones, however,
are Wheeler & Wilson'S, Grover & Ba.

ticed that Schoenfeld & Brother, on

ceived a large number ofthese machines.

Rich 0RE.-This morning we were AT
the new works Of the Yellow Jacket
| Co., where some ore was shown US from
the lower level of the mine which was
perfectly filled with native silver. If
there is much of such ore we would not
be surprised TO see large dividends de-
clared by the company, as the specimen
shown us was about one-third native
silver. The Yellow Jacket is one Of the
best claims on the Comstock, and will
be one of the most lasting.

of Equalization tor Virginia city will

been made of their property appear be-
fore the Board by tomorrow evening

are informed by good authority that the
value of property in n number of in
stances with merchants of Virginia will
be raised, they having given in their
property at entirely too low an estimate.

The people of Louisville have done
themselves great credit sfor their
l:.ndsSsne reception Sf thePresident
and his party dnTuesAay sast: They
turnea out e,s aadsse and eritcred into
the proceedings IN an carnert, cordial
and hearty manner.
One OF the most beautiful and
interesting features, OF the display ON
the occasion, was thirty-six young
misses, clad in pure white, each repre-
senting State, with wreaths on their
heads and with baskets of flowers in
their hands, with which they be-
sprinkled the path of the President.
As the President was passing to the
stairs of the hotel, after the speaking,
they scattered the flowers under his
feet, end when he passed to the end
of their line, having stopped occa-
sionally to kiss one of their sweet,
innocent faces. ono of them handed
him the following beautiful petition,
praying for tho release of Jefferson
Davis; which the President very
kindly received, and promised to read
at the first leisure moment aid give it
his consideration:
To HIS Eccellency Andrea Johnson,
President Of the Un'tcd States OF
| america.
HoNoRED SIR: The undersigned,
little girls of the city of Louisville
| and of the State of Kentucky, taught
by our mothers to yenerate you as
the nations head and the people S
friend, moved by sympathy for one
who once stood your peer in the coun-
ellis of the nation, do most respect
fully present this prayer in his behalf
and in behalf of an anguished moth her
end grief-stricken little ones.
That you release from prison, on
parole, or otherwise, as may seem
best to You, Jefferson Davis, late
President of the "so-called Confede-
rate States of America" If our Chief
magistrate shall find it consistent
with his sense of duty to the nation
to grant our prayer, millions Of little
| ones shall rise up to call him blessed.

This is beautiful and touching

sponded to fuvorably. All honor to

JUSTICE IN WEST VIRGINIA. The
following extract from letter from
Charlestown, West Virginia, will show
to what extent radicalism is carried
in that bogus State:
cas- things go on in this new State,
there is little protection for any
Southerner. Every man who was in
any way connected with the rebel
lion, is liable to suit for damages
sustained by loyal people during
the war Whether the defendant was
in any way implicated in the injuries
inflicted or not, or whether the in
juries really were inflicted, is of little
consequence. Judgments ~, inva-
riably rendered, and there is no
chance Of redress. I find One suit
for Sc, 500 decided against me for
trespass in an adjoining County, into
which have never put foot, insti-
tutcd by man of whom have never
heard. Another suit for $4,000 is
now pending, and will be decided
againtt me Mt the next term. I am
in this case also utterly ignorant of
tho party complaining on the trespass
charged"

on cigars, cigarettes, and cheroots,

and fifty per cent ad rdlorena in addi-
ton; and it was provided that no
cigars should be removed from bond

An incident which occurred yes
terday on the boat as the President
was crossing tho Ohio from Coving-
ton to CINCINNATI, affords an addi-
tional illustration of the faithful at
tachment of the Grant family to
President Johnson. The father of
Gen. Grant was presented to the
President, and assured him of his
cordial appreciation Of the Presidents
policy, and expressed earnest wishes
for its success. There can be no
doubt that Gen. Grant himself
cherishes the same views and wishes,
although his sense Of the proprieties
of his position keeps him studiously
aloof from party politics.

4 HDnsaRACEFULS SCENE.-We cannot
fittingiy characterize the ipdignitY
and Insult that were offered to the
President of the United States at In
dianapolis. 1t was not only disgrace
fnl TO the persons who proved themt
yeivea so lost to respect and decency
hut ikswas disgraceful TO the city
which permitted the outrage, and to
the political party to which the In
dianapolis mob belong. It is lament
able indeed if our country hns ap-
preached so near to the point of
anarchy that its chief magistrate
the successor Of Washington. Jack
son, Lincoln and the rest-cannot
pass peaceably through it. No won
der that, when passion and political
hatred run SO high, the few remaining
old statesmen of the Jacksonian era
should come forth from political re-
TRACY to use their efforts in stelnming
the tide of radicaism. It is not =
long step from such scenes as were
enacted at Indianapolis to the scene
so eloquently portrayed by Webster,
in which was depicted ga land rent
with civil feuds, or drenched, it may
be, in frater nal blood" There is
danger ahead when we see such signs
as those alluded to, and the fact
should not be disguised. It is the
duty of every temperate citizen to use
his influence in keeping down the
spirit of turbulence which is now SO
prevalent, and also to aid in restoring
the Union to its normal state OF
peacesana harmony.-Ne,o York Sun.
