AN IMMENSE Tunnel. The most stupcn-
dous tunnel enterprise has lately been accom-
plished at the silver mines in the German Hartz
mounta ns The mines were over 5000 tect
deer, and the scarcity of fuel prevented the
use Of steam for pumping, which was done by
water Wheels aided by tunnel drains. But the
great depth reached in 1859 prec!uded further
progress in that manner, and Il tunnel was
COMMENCED Tor deep draining, Which is but
now finished. 1t is twenty two miles long !;
two million cubic yards Of solid rock were cx-
cavated, ten thousadd pounds Of powder used,
and the linear extent of blasting holes drilled
is one hundred and eighty miles Naturally,
on the successful completion Of this colossal
work, the thirty thousand miners. whose live
lihood is now assured for .twcnty years, cclc
brated the event with great rejoicing.

The CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION Sol

The CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION Some
of our contemporaries seem to fear that fom
the large number Of delegates appointed to the
Richmond Convention from some of the coun-
ties and towns, the number will be too large
for harmony or usefulness. These apDrehen-
sions we thinkar premature, is not groundlcSs
The expense attending the Convention will be
so considerable that few of those appointed
will incur the loss involved. The railroads, it
is true, will only charge half fare, but the ho-
tel bills will necessarily involve such a large
expenditure in the performance, that the few
est number Of our people will feel themselves
able to part with their scanty funds in that way
Only few of the appointed delegates, there
fore. will attend the Convention from each
city and county outside of Richmond and adj
joining localities, while from some distant
counties, we fear, there will be no delegates at
all. 1t has cost the people nothing to appoint
delegates, but it will cost those delegates Il
very handsome sum to visit Richmoud--Lynch

DEATH OF CHAs w. RUSSELL. The Ba'-
more papers announce the death Of this gen
tleman on Friday evening, in that city We
were not wholly unprepared for this event as
be had long been feeble and his return to health
was despaircd of by his friends. Mr.. Russell
was man of brilliant talents, and q most elo-
quent orator aud debater. He was a native of
Wheeling, and represented that city for several
sessions in the Legislature, and also that dis
trict in the u. S. House Of Representatives.
On the secession of Virginia he followed the
fortunes Of his beloved State, and was q mem
Der Of the Confederate Congress, in which body
he held prominent position. On the down
fall of the Coniederacy, he moved to Baltimore
and engaged in the practice Of his profession,
the law, and enjoyed full share Of patronage
until his health became so feeble that he was
compelled to reIinquish business, His death
will be deeply regretted by large number Of
friends and acquuintances in this State, who
honorcd him for his brilliant talents, pure and
unsullied integrity, and high sense Of honor
