EDS. TINES This great enterprise
has not yet been launched, although it
seems next to an im~possibility that il
should not be taken up very speedily.
As our readers know, the project is to
work a tunnel the length of the Com
stock lode, connecting all the mines at
q depth of 1000 feet ; when any one
reflects upon it, he becomes utterly sur
prised that that there should be a mo-
ment's hesitation in respect TO it. The
success of the undertaking is guaranteed
by some thirty mines, whose aggregate
length is about $4,000 feet. These
mines have each of them been started
at a venture, and the necessary money
was paid in on a mere change Of finding
ore. Nearly all Of them found it, and
they have raised in the aggregate $751;
900, 900 Of treasure out of those thirty
holes. These mines have been worked
at great disadvantage, struggling ex-
pensively against water and the cost of
fuel. They have all demonstrated the
fact that the ore is there, that it grows
more permanent as they go deeper, and
also that the expense Of hosting water
and ore will increase as they go down.
In this situation Of affairs a company
comes forward and offers to give them
an outlet 1900 feet lower than their
present depth, and not only to relieve
them of a large proportion of what they
now eIpend for hosting, and to do it on
this sole condition, that they will ad-
vance a small portion of the money
which their reduced drainage will cost.
Thus, we estimate that Of the Sic, 600,
900 now annually produced, $4,000, 900
is expended for fuel at Sic per cord, to
drive engines and hosting ore, and for
transportation, which would be dis
pensed with on the construction of the
tunnel, and the same service performed
for 81, 1850, 900; effecting a saving OF
$2,450, 900.
The Tunnel Company ask only an ad-
vance OF o small portion Of that money
pro rata per month, as the tunnel goes
on. Only $500 900 is required; the rest
will be taken at the East. This is only
n and perhaps the least benefit the
companies would derive from the deep
outlet. The mines would drain them
selves, the free ventilation would pre-
serve health, and save great expense in
rotting timber. The great advantages
would be the prospecting Of the noun
tains at such q great depth, at such
little cost.
If, as all engineers assert and expert
ence confirms, the vein improves at the
greater depths, and is struck by the tun-
mel drifts, all the mines so tested will
have q value far above the widest cal
culations Of the most sanguine adven-
turers now. NEVADA.

Coon BYE.-Previous to leaving for

San Francisco the following: a.
leave for the States in the Opposition
steamer tomorrow, and I ask, as a spe-
cial favor, that you will allow me tosay
goodbye to my highway-robber friends
of the Gold Hill and Virginia Divide,
and convince them that I have got
ahead of them. They'had their joke in
robbing me and returning the money,
and I had mine in the satisfaction of
knowing that they came near freezing
to death while they were waiting two
hours for me to come along the night OF
the robbery. And at this day, so far
from bearing them any i'll will, | want
to thank them kindly for their ~rascality.
l am p~ccuniarily ahead on the transac.

last night, which reads as follows:
New YORK, December 18th.
Mark Twain: Go to Nudd, Lord Il Co.,
Front street, collect amount of money
equal to what highwaymen took from
you. (Signed,) A. D.S.
Itook that telegram and went to that
store and called for a thousand dollars,
with my customary modesty; but when
I found they were going to pay it, my
conscience smote me and reduced the
demand to a hundred. 1t vas promptly
paid, in coin; and now if the robbers
think they have got the best end ofthat
Joke, they are welcome-they have my
free consent to 60 or thinking so. III
is barely possible that the heft of the
joke is on A. D. N. now.1
Goodbye, fclons-good-bye. bear
you no malice. And | sincerely pray
that when your cheerful career is clos
ing, and you appear finally before q de-
lighted and appreciative audience to be
hanged, that you will be prepared to go,
and that it will be as n ray Of sunshine
amid the gathering blackness of your
damning recollections, to call to mind
that you never got a cent out Of me. So
long, brigands.

ANOTHER DOMESTIC TRAaEDY.-At
Valley Falls, ear Providence, R. l., on
the evening of Nov. goth, Rufus W.
Cowden, a young married man, who
had parted from his wife, called at her
residence, and after an effort to induce
her to enter q carriage, attempted to cut
her throat with a razor. She struggled
desperately and successfully for her life,
although terribly wounded in the face,
arms and breast, until her grandfather
came and drove off the murderous
wretch with a club. The surgeon who
attended the woman, was compelled to
sew up l6 gashes made by the weapon.
The husband eluded arrest until the
2lst, when he appeared near his fathers
residence, and cut his OWL throat so
thoroughly that he will die.

THREE GREAT INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS
OF THE AGE.-Three of the greatest
works of Internal Improvement, which
characterize our time, are the great
American Railway, that will soon span
the Rocky Mountains and unite the At
lantic with the Pacific coast; the Tunnel
through the Alps, which is to unite
France with Italy, and the Suez Canal,
that is to uniteHthe Mediterranean and
the Red Sea. Trains will probably be
running from Maine to California in
about two years. Men will dive into
the Alps on the French side and come
out all glowing in sunshine on the plains
Of Italy, in about FIVE years; and in a
little more than one year n man may
embark on Lake Superior, pass all tho
way to Japan, and thence by ways of
Cape Horn, or the Straights of Magellan,
return to the place of embarkation with
out once going out of his ship. The
The Suez Canal project was first con-
ceived by Napoleon the First. One of
his great hobbies was to strike England
through her Indian possessions, and it
was through Egypt that he proposed to
do this. Hence his expedition to that
country, and his attempt to establish
the French Empire there. It was prob
ably whilst heswas encamped on the
burning sands in the shadow of the
Pyramids, that he conceived the idea of
this stupendous work. Much of the
East India trade that now passes around
the Cape of Good Hope will be deviated
to this canal, and great revolutions,
consequently, will take place in the
shipping and other interests. The Med
iterranean will again become the store
house of the silks and spices Of the East,
as it was in the palmy days Of Venice
the ship and the canal being substituted
for the camel. hnd in like n
much of the Pacific trade that now
passes around Cape Horn, will come and
60 overland on the great Atlantic and
Pacific Railway. Should the estate of
the Sick Man, in Turkey, eve be admin
istered on, England will, of necessity,
have to demand az her share the Suez
Canal, if not the whole of the Egyptian
Isthmus.

in defiance of President and Congress,
enact laws favoring those who had
been in rebellion and expressing those
who had been loyal. To suffer this,
would be shameful and disgraceful to
US as a nation, if not tantamount to
National suicide. We believe the Pres
ident has become satisfied that nth
his class he has been too lenlent, and of
late has adopted much stricter course
in granting pardons. Between himself
and Congress there is therefore now
no essential difference as to the proper
course to be followed. and we feel sat
isfed that until better disposition is
shown in several States latel y in rebel
lion, they will be put upon their good
behavior and held under military rule.
After delberating upon the matter,
we have come to the conclusion to
publish the Gazette at its old terms,
namely, $3.50 per annum in advance.
We shall try this price for six months,
and if prompt.payment is made in or
nearly in advance, we may be enabled
to continue it. In job work and ad-
vertising however we can make no
change.
To a number in and out Of town,
now on the list, who. have heretofore
been diatory in paying, we furnish
paper this week, but will not do so
hereafter unless some satisfactory ar
rangement be made.
Should we feel able to do So some
improvement will be made ia the APP
pearance of the Gazette, Il portion of
the type in use being considerably
worn, and in other respects we shall
endeavor to print a paper useful and
interesting to home readers generally.

TO GEORGE FRYsINGER,ss Esq, the for
mer proprietor, by whom, in connec-
ton with GEO. r. FRYsINGER, the pa
per will in the future be conducted.
Their long experience in the business

merly under their charge, a necessity
for the Union party of the.County.

the influence of the Gazette" against

stroy our glorious Union, is unfit to

With proper efforts Mitfiin county will
always hereafter be found ranged on
the side Of the country's friends. We
relinquish the editorial chair at a time
like this with pleasure, and thank the
Union men of Miflin county for their
cordial support of us during the past

tors the "aid and comfort" they have
heretofore received from the people of
this county.
