Salmon Correspondence.
LEEsBURGH, SALNoN RIVER,
March H.. 1867,

|
March IL, 1867.
Our much .talked-of trail, leading from here
over the mountains to Salmon River, a distance
of eighteen miles, through snow varying from
FIVE 10 twenty feet in depth, was completed on
Friday last, and yesterday we were greeted by
the appearance of eight head of fine beef cattle
which, assure you, was welcome sight to the
deniEens of this lat present) isolated, but rising
town. Several pack animals have also arrived
since the opening of the trail. Messrs. Smith,
Porter Co., deserve credit for the almost SUPER
human task they have accomplished in opening
communication between these points. The rates
of toll charged are moderate considering the
enormous outlay that these gentlemen were sub
jected to. They only charge for pack animals,
seventy cents each way, which, every rea,
sOnable man will admit, is not too much, cons
sidering that the mountains would be impossible

men here by the middle of May, and sincerely
hope they will all do well, but the future of this
camp is as yet uncertain. There are some
claims here which are known to be good, but
the greater portion of the discoveries have not
been sufficiently prosPected to warrant me or
anybody else in telling the public that they are
all rich. There are now in the neghborhood of
sixty guches struck in this vicinity, and | be>
lieve most of them contain gold, but whether in
paying quantities or not remains to be seen.
The snow is SO deep all over this basin that
prospecting to advantage is out of the question.
We are now. having the coolest weather which
has been experienced here this winter, and no
appearance ofits moderating. That we are going
to have late spring is unquestonable.
Our town is progressing finely, there are some
very fine buildings up, and several more under
way. The main street is nearly half mile long,
and pretty nearly all built up already. There
are several cross streets, some of which will be
good business streets.-NontGnG Democrat.

TEE TRUE LITE.-The mere lapse of years is
not life. To eat and drink and sleep; to be ex-
posed to darkness and the light; to pace round
the mill of habit, and turn the wheel of wealth
to make reason our book.keeper, and turn
thought into an implement of tradS-this is not
life. In all this but poor fraction of the con.
sciousness of humanity is awakened, and the
sanetities still slumber which make it most
worth while living. knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, faith alone can give vitality to the mech
anism of existence, the laugh of mirth which
Vbrates through the heart, the tears that freshe
the dry waste within, the music that brings
childhood back, the prayer that calls the future,
the doubt which makes us mediate, the death
that force us to struggle, the anxiety that ends
in trust, are the true nourishment of rational
beings.

HoPE.-Hope is a wonderful gift of God, and
one ofthe most powerful principles in the human
mind. 1t is grand support of all mankind in
tribulation; it is the handspring of action
throughout the earth nothing like hope inspires
courage in difficulty and danger and what but
hope can wipe away tears and chear the sorrow
full heart? Hope for better things i'll time to
come, is the support Of all sufferers in the world;
it is also the life and vigor of all Adventures.
We shall find this principle at work everywhere.
1t is inscribed on the prison door, on the mer>
chants vessel, on the warriors banner, on the
pilgrims staff and on the pillow of the dying.
1t animates the lawyer at the bar, the preacher
in the pulpit the parent at the head of his family
and the starving poor, while passing through
the dreary winter. We plow in hope, we sow in
hope, we reap in hope, and die in hope. Fill the
earth with hOpe and you will 6li it with life and
light, with vigor and exertion. Danish hope
from the earth, and you fill it in a moment full
of darkness and despair. Where hope dies ex-
ertion ends, and man is buried in gloom and
dependency. While hope lives, man looks for
ward and strives to rise to happiness and
glory.

SHOULD WOMEN RIDE AsTRIDE ?-The
New Orleans Picaynne thus speaks on this
subject: Among other grave questions now
discussed in England, and in which the wri-
ters for the reviews as well as editors Of daily
journals take sides, is as to the propriety OF
ladies riding astraddle, after tho manner Of
men, or whether it is not more proper for
them to sit with both limbs on the same side
of the horse as has been the custom among
civilized nations time out of mind. If we
had as many dollars as we have seen women
ride astride, among the Camanches, the Cad
does, the Pawnees, and other Prairie Indians,
we should be much better off pecuniarily
than we are now; and they rode or looked
graceful enough, and seemed at ease and at
home with one leg on one side of their
horses and the other on the other. Yet their
costumes were intended for this style of fer
male questrianism-their dresses were not
in the least in the way-and we would as
soon expect to see wild squaw sitting on a
piano as on a side saddle. If our ladies are
to change their habit of riding they must
change their habits as well-must discard
the long skirt, of course. And what costume
will they adopt? Not the Menken style,
certainly, nor the Black Crook or ballet next.

might do, if curtailcd or raced; but when
the ladies once make up their minds to
mount mems saddles after the manner oil men,
we have little doubt they will hit upon ap'

thing in the way of costume which will be
snowy, dashy, and elegant, without being
Anazonian or HippodrOmish--a dress easy
and graceful, and one which will make them

AvETERAN DIP.-Years ago, when
our town was Parkinson's Ferry, be-
fore the bridge was built, and before
the pike was made, an enterprising cit
izen named Peter M'Grew supplied the
village with coal With single horse
and cart he found no difficulty in meet
ing the wants of the denizens OF the
Ferry; and when the cart was idle, his
pick and shovel were busy. The bank
was opened in what is now called
Scott's Hill, just at the bend of the pike.
above the School House, but when the
pike was built it was filed up at the
mouth, and for years no trace has been
left of the first coal bank" One day
i last week this bank was struck by a
counter-mi and it became necessary
to open the mouth OF the old pit as
drain and water course. When this
was done, the water rushed forth bear-
ing upon its murky bosom an old tai
low dip, used by McGrew in the days
of "auld lang syne." It is cast on three
tow strings, which evidence no signs of
decay, the tallow is solid, firm, and
white. When lighted 1t burned freely

Gentten1en:-1twa was gratifying to read
In Tuesdays 1NTELLIGENcER, your
statement with regard to the Bill rela-
ting to the School District of Wheeling,
statement containing not single
thrust at any of your fellow citizens,
nor to impugn the motives which have
induced some of them for a few years
past, to engage in the thankless task of
reforming comparatively inefficient
system OF public instruction. The state
ment is lucid and to the point, and
will, believe, go far in allaying the
apprehensions of some friends of free
education in regard to the bill in ques-
ton. -
But you will permit me to ask wheth-
er there was not an oversight in your
enumeration of the only material
changes" which it makes in the law. Is
1t not material that'its 18th section abso-
lutely debars the Board from combi-
ming two townships into one sub-dis-
trict for the purpose of maintaining q
graded Grammar School, at any future
time, however evident may be the ad-
vantages of SO doinG2 Nay, further,
that it would absolutely compel the
Board to divide the best graded school
we have ever had, into two petty half
graded schools, to be taught
less efficiently and at from 80 to
90 per cent greater expenset l call it
the best graded, because it is the only
ScnOOl we nave ever had which en-
braced in its higher departments a
sufficient number OF pupils to make a
proper grading possible. That school
is of itself an unanswerable reply to
all attacks upon the consolidation
system" as it is called by those who are
now its enemies, though they formerly
advocated a similar one. For my part,
may my right hand wither when, with
my present views, give consent to any
measure which would rend such a
school asunder, or prevent the iustitu-
ton of others with similar advantages,
whenever the state of the school proper
ty shall admit of it. A slight change
in sections 18th and 26th, would reme-
dy the most Objectionable features of
the bill.
You gentlemen will recognize my true
initials. S. G. s,
P. S.-By a grammar school under
stand what most other cities mean by
it; not one in which all the pupils are
supposed to study grammar, but one
which would embrace a portion of our
present grammar schools, and also Di-
visions A and B of the primary
schools. If any one doubts wheth-
er the pupils of our present Diyi-
sions G and d could be properly man
aged and instructed by female teachers,
we point them to primary schools al
ready in operation in the district which
are so taught and governed to the en-
tire satisfaction Of those concerned.

MARRIAGE has gained by Prussia's
military successes. In Hanover, Hesse
and Nassau it was forbidden to people
to marry unless they were possessed of
certain amount of property which
reads reasonably enough, as imprudent
marriages seldom are happy marriages,
but the only effect of this interference
with the laws of nature was to increase
Icentiousness, as parties who loved
lived together without having been
married. Man and mistress took the
place of husband and wife. Tho Prus-
sian government has repealed this re-
striction, and now Hanoyerians, Hes
slams and HassaueTs can marry at their
pleasure, even If they have not money
TO pay the parson, or buy bed. The
change is excellent, and its moral effect
Is already seen in the fact that many
couples who were living in concubinage
have been lawfully married, proceed
ing that gives legitimacy to their chill
dren, if children they have. In this
way good follows from the grand evil
OF war. .-aHasa p.
