MINING AT PIONEER CITY.-A friend who
lives in Pioneer City writes to us that" "a
Portuguese company on Orlean Bar opposite
this place, made clean up after run Of
thirteen nights--not working in day time-and
the product was one hundred and ten ounces.
The same cOmpany's previous clean up, after
run of eleven nights, netted one hundred
and five ounces and nine dollars. In the Bar
claims of Wilson & Giberson one weeks run
Of three sluices has yielded seven thousand
dollars. Davis & Co.'s claim, next below on
the Bar, has just given upwards of two thous-
and dollars after a weeks run" Products
like these indicate that Pioneer City is very
much above being a ''played OUT mining dis
trict. No wonder the Lemhi fever had small
effect there.

LETTER FROM HELENA.

BY the kindness of j. w. and Ben. f. Wood,
of this city, we are enabled to place before our
readers the following extract from letter
written at Helena, NJ T., by their late conf
DENTAL clerk, Mr.. Lewis Eckhart, who is On
his way to Western Virginia:
HELENA Cry, June Is, 1867.
DEAR FRIENDS: After a weary ride of
three days and nights from Salt Lake City, I
arrived here on the evening of the 18th inst,
and found many acquaintance from Idaho,
among whom are Billy Jack, L. Remish, Phil.
Kenigsberger, Schwabacher, Loeb of Placer
vile, and Henry Allen. Also met Andy Kerr
of st. Joe. Helena is a little larger place
than Idaho City, presents a lively appearance,
and from three to six times as much business
is done than in Idaho City, but apparently
mostly for glory-at least there is little or no
profit on sales At present the market is full
stocked, with the exception of a few articles
and freights have not begun to arrive from
Fort Benton yet There are and will be due
at that point in the next four weeks, from
thirty-six to forty steamers loaded with gen.
eral merchandise for this place. Money is
very tight. am told that some merchants
here are borrowing from the banks (there be-
ing eight in this city,, and paying from eight
to ten per cent. per month interest, with -four
and other goods as collateral, at half their
present marked value. Judging from appear
ances, am inclined to believe that a grand
crash must follow the great influx of goods.
am told that the placer diggings in this vi
cinity are pretty well worked out, and the
hopes of a resurrection of trade is through
the medium Of quartz. in which a great many
have the most implicit confidence that it will
pay rich. I think the place has seen its best
days. Old Rudolph is here, and has just made
a trip around the outside camps, looking for
location for opening business.
l passed through Virginia City, and saw
Frank Drake and Oestricher there. Did not
see enough of the place to form a just opinion
of it. LEWIS ECKHART. 4

ventures to assign In all his speech, 70
much Of woe and desolation upon the

Yet he asks us to be magnanimous, to
pardon traitors and to admit them to
full communion" In the political "love-
feast!' Have we not tried to do this
Did not Congress give the rebels full
year and half in which to manifest
their repentance? Instead Of repenting
did not they do just what Charles Mason
now does, insist on the justice Of their
conduct, and prosecute to the death all
who oppose their madness? They
would not accept Of magnanimity. The
butcheries Of Memphis and New Orleans
attest their appreciation Of liberal treat
ment. They are as perverse as Mason,
and could not be more so. They make
1t crime, as he does, to sustain the
nation. The nation has been compelled
to ensure its safety by affirming their
criminality and restraining a renewal
of its preparation. And Mason with
even less discretion than the Southern
rebels, now insists that 1t Is criminal
and tyrannous to prevent a repetition
Of the atrocious offense against right,
justice and humanity!
But enough. Mason has put himself
down upon record which can never be
blotted out, as the most malignant of all
those who are at war with the right of
mankind. His justification of rebellion
will be conspicuous hereafter as the
basest, as it is the most needless, of any
ever uttered in the North. 1t will re-
joice the heart of his friend JEFF. Davis.
But every patriot in the land will. res.d
it with !oathing and regard its author
with scorn. And to that universal scorn
we leave him.

Dubuque Bridge.

The capital stock of the Dubuque and
Dunleith Iron Bridge Company, for
the construction of railroad bridge
across the Mississippi River from Dun
leith to Dubuque, to connect the Illinois
Central Railroad with the Dubuque e.
Sioux City Railroad and its tributaries,
has all been subscribed. BY this bridge
Chicago will tap the great wheat market
of Minnesota and Northern Iowa, and it
insures the early completion of the Ce-
dar Valley Railroad running north and
south through Iowa and Minnesota.
Half the bridge stock was subscribed
by citizens of Dubuque and Iowa, and
the other half in New York by promi-
nent Capitalists. Officers of the Illi-
nois Central took s2OO,OOO of the stock.
Since the closing of the books applica-
tons to the amount of over $500, 900 have
been made but it was all taken, and APP
plicants were too late.
The work on the bridge has been or
dered to be commenced Immediately.
1t is to be substantial iron bridge, with
heavy stone abutments.

much a. the gelding, and in no instance
was there C greater difference between
the horses khan three or four dollars.
Even the Knowing ones seemed un0e-
cided in making . choice, and the race
may well be considered rs the most even
one Of the seasoD.
The horses got well off together on the
first attempt, . very even start oeihg
effected. No advantage was manifest
until when near the quarter-pole, where
the stallion, went slightly to the post,
neck and shoulders ahead, In 3Sf sec
onds. On getting well into the straight
work, Bashaw opened the gap, Medoc
again giving away to his skipping pro-
pensities. Settling down to business
under Vigorous application OF the
whip, the gelding crept slowly up to the
leader, and when little past the middle
of the stretch, was neck and neck with
the outrageous bovine. These posi-
tons were maintained to the half-n1iie
post, which was reached in l.14a, when
the stallion went off his feet The grey
horse, though skipping, took advantage
Of the opportunity, and went q little to
the front, though the black horse was
instantly even with him; and the two
swung into the home stretch together.
At the distance pole Medoc again skip
ped, when Bashaw went to the front,
and maintaining his advantage, won
the heat by q neck and shoulders in
2.29i. This was one of the best heats
ever witnessed on this track. It was
admirably contested by both horses
throughout. They went over consid-
cradle portion of the ground SO evenly
that a blanket would have covered both,
and in no case was there gap Of more
than foot or SO between them.
Third Heot-Bashaw was now the
favorite. A good start was readily
effected, Medoc being slightly in ad.
vance. Bashaw Immediately collared
him, and the pair went evenly to the
first turn, when the Bull took the lead
On the upper stretch Medoc went tC
the BoshaW's wheel, but going up again
fell to the rear, and the black horse lead
by about three feet at the quarter, pass
Ing the pole in 97a seconds. When op.
posite the judges stand Medoc again
skipped and went to the Bashaw's
wheei. The horses maintained these
Positions to the middle of the stretch
when the stallion went up. and Medot
rushed to the front. The half-mile pole
was made in LA, the gelding leading by
two lengths, but with the Bull settled
well down to business, and coming rap
idly, and went almost Immediately te
the geldings wheel. On the last turn
he was on Medoc's flank, and the two
swung almost evenly into the home
stretch. the gelding, perhaps, possessing
a very slight advantage. The black
horse, however, was instantly up with
him, and going to the front at the dis.
lance post, won the heat and race by q
length in 229i.
The race was watched with the mos'
intense interest throughout, and the re
suit was received in most enthusiast,
manner-three cheers and tiger being
given for the victorious Iowa stranger.

MODEL COMPosITIoN.-The Essex
Statesman says that . boy In South Dam

sition upon his native town: "South
Danvers is In the United States. 1t Is
bounded by Salem and reaches to Mid

brook, which empties into Salem harbor.
Its principal lake is the mill-pond,
which is dry in the summer. Its prin-

Cranberry Culture.
Orycocc,ts Mdcrocd,pus.

Many persons in this State have un-
dertaken to raise the cranberry, on ac-
count of the excellent quality of the
fruit, yet very few have been able to
keep the vines alive longer than the
first season.
Last year, in May, was III the cram
berry producing part of Wisconsin and,
gathered some vines to experiment with.
They were well packed in damp moss,
and succeeded in getting them home
and planted without drying. Part I
placed in a damp ravine, and the bal
ance near the top of a hill sloping to the
north where the soil was very dry. Dry
weather succeeded, and was soon con-
WINGED that they would all die if extra
care was not taken to keep the ground
damp; then covered the ground be-
tween the rows, close up to the plants
and almost covering them, too, with
straw. l found the straw very helpful
in keeping the weeds from overrunning
the plants.
The cranberry is a trailing evergreen
plant, and takes root wherever it touch
es the damp ground, and sends up
branches from a few inches to foot
high, bearing fruit, which ripens in
September or October. The fruit will
remain attached to the plant until the
following May, if not disturbed. If the
vines are broken into pieces about three
inches long, with root or two to each
piece, and planted, they will grow.
have heard that the people of north
ern Indiana are in the habit of breaking
off the vines in the spring, and inserting
the larger end in ia vial hung against the
wall, where they will grow, blossom and
bear fruit, looking very ornamental, il
kept constantly supplied with water.
My plants blossomed and bore few
berries last year, which grew somewhat
larger than they are in the wild state
and of darker red color, the most Of
which were destroyed by the chickens
or birds. This year l have several gal
Ions of berries, and will try to save them
from the feathered tribe by covering
them with brush.

Republicans in Tennessee are convin-
ccd that tho Acknowledgement Of white
voters mightto a great extent be repealed
with general advantage. Prominent
men at Nashville are urging Governor
Brownlow to convene the old Legisla-
ture for this purpose, and as the Govern
or has already expressed himselfin favor
of amnesty, there is good reason to hope
that Tennessee will speedily prove that
the triumph ofjustice is also the triumph
of charity.
In letter entitled IA Walk Over
Maryland Battle Fields" George Alfred
Townsend shows how hard it is to be a
hero at home: 1.-The individual tradi-
tons of men obtain little acceptance
near home. At Gettysburg | saw John
Burns, who volunteered, fought at his
own threshold, and was wounded, the
only Gettysburger that stood by his roof
tree except the original troops Of the
town in United States service. John
Burns was absurd" said an earnest Re-
publican, che didn't do any good, and
would have been shot for q bushwhacker
If the rebels had known he had got his
wound in action. He told them that he
was hunting his cow between the lines
of battle when he was shot at. But
then he's got an Office for it." In addi-
ton, Mrs. Burns adds scorn to GOODNESS
by saying that John wouldn't have fit
at all but for contraryness." A man is q
fool to be q hero at home unless there
are strangers around"

THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE on THE
AssAssINATIoN.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Worcester Mass Spy,
under date of the 9th inst, writes:
General Buffers order Of amnesty
has accomplished something Of what
was intended. Ilearn that Canadian
arrived here short time since, and
made under that condition most impor-
tant disclosures, which involves some
half dozen wealthy rebel sympathisers
In this city, also parties In Maryland
and Washington; and that he also de-
livered papers to the committee which
directly corroborated some Of his state
ments and afforded means Of reaching
the truth Of others. Agents have been
and are busy at work ferreting out the
cases here given"

remedies, as not only more pleasant to
take, but more effective to cure.
