H EVENING NEWS.
USSrcrssARY DrcLrvE.-The Imperial

following is clipped from the telegraphic
dispatch of the Sacramento Union Of
yesterday morning: "The decline oil
$40 on the Imperial from the morning
Board was caused BY dispatches an
nouncing the close ofthe mine by a strike
at Gold Hill" The fact is, there was no
.'strike," nor were the hosting works
stopped. The "Miners' Union merely
hauled out a few men who were at WORK
below miners prices required by the 90
ciety. We are sorry such difheaiues
occur, as they are damaging AK 70
our mines, and to the reputation OF our
miners. The Superintendent M tue
miners Union had better meet TO-
gether and have an understanding ABOUT
this matter of wages. There are GER
tainly different grades Of labor IN our
mines-and to place all situations on a
par in q it is claimed, Is not only
unjust to the miner, but also 10 the em-
ployers. Let there be q triendiy meet
ing held-let every superintendent Of a
mining company's property De present,
and each member Of THE "Miners Union
speak his mind freely TO them. THIS
matter can be amicably adjusted. Inere
is no necessity of a misunderstanding.
The interests Of our mines are TOO I'M
portant to be trifed within any quarter.
wRoys IxPRrssloS.-In our account,
yesterday, of the alleged difficulty be-
tween the Superintendent of the lmpe-
rial mine and the committee Of the
ssMiuers' Union" which waited upon
him several weeks ago, there is a slight
deviation Of the facts Us they occurred.
We published, however, what one Of the
members told us. The Superintendent,
Mr.. Greentree, called on US last evening
and gave his version OF the matter.
He q v the committee called on him at
his office, he being very busy writing At
the time, and informed him who they
were, and asked him to furnish them
with a written list of the men, how
many, and At what wages, employed in
his mine. Mr.. Greentree says he simply
answered that that was his business and
not theirs, and proceeded with his
manuscript. This, he says, was all that
occurred. In further explanation, Mr..
Greentree informs US that he did set
some men to work in the mine on ordi-
nary labor which was not worth four
dollars a day, and that the four dollar
hands were perfectly agreed to it. This
seems TO be the whole gist Of the dith-
Guilty.
NATIONAL GuARps.-Last evening the
National Guards of Virginia, notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather,
were out on drill in large numbers,
headed by a fife and two drums. We
understand that Captain Warner IS
drilling the Company in order to have q
parade on the 22d inst, n the reason
of the drill yesterday evening was IN
honor Of it being the birthday of ABRA'
HAN LINCOLN. Last year there was no
demonstration made on the 2?d, either
in Gold Hill or Virginia. Some OF the
public buildings had no Flags unfurlec
on them, but this year the 22d OF Feb
ruary will be properly observed.
THIS EvryrSG.-Remember that it is
thu, evening that the ladies' Fair for the
benefit of the Episcopal Church in Vir-
ginia commences, and the invitation to
attend is cordially extended to all.
Everything that can be done to make ii
an agreeable entertainment will be done.
There will be no attempt made to force
any one to spend a dollar unless he sees
proper to do so. Whatever your hoer-
ali.y may contribute will be thankfully
received. There will be a number OF
tableaux to commence with, after which
there will be dancing.
N. S. THuRsroS, Eso.-This gentle
man, we'll known to all the old residents
of Virginia and Gold Hill, as the head
man in Haas & Co.'S store, at Virginia,
has Just returned from San Francisco,

become an apostate from the teachings
of the Elampsus Vitus, BY taking to
himself a " better half" Well, in the
language of some distinguished author,
we wish him"luck."
CoLp.-Last night was by several de-
grees the coolest Of the season. Ice
collected on the windows Of warm rooms
in some instances, an eighth Of an inch
thick. This morning was extremely
cold, but as the sun rose the ice and
snow melted away very rapidly. The
streets in Virginia, in many places, were
quite slushy. The prospects for hne
weather are again good.

from the mines being "short."
