BRowNLow ON NEGROES. .-ParsOn Brown
low has just been elected Governor of Ten
nessee by the votes of negroes. In October,
1861 he wrote his opinion of the negro race
as follows:
"Your ignorance of this whole subject man.
ifests itself in your clamors about the equality
Of the African and Anglo-Saxon race. This
question of race you call upon me to settle to
your satisfaction. Do you ask me to make
Pointer out of Poodle? Do you ask Inc to
make Peach out of Crab-apple? Can you
change Carrot into a Melon? Can you grow
an Oak from a Peanut? Will wild donkey
produce an Arabian Horse? Will a POlecat
produce lion Can you hatch Eagles by
setting Goose on Buzzard eggs? Most GER
tainly not You cannot undo what God has
intended shall never be undone. 1t is, there
fore, simply impossible for you to change an
African into an Anglo-Saxon. 1t is a question
of blOod-of race, as | have remarked; and
question far above the capacity of those who
abuse these Southern States on account of AT
rican sIayery-W G BlOwnlotV's letter to

THEN-In 1865-only two years ago--Sen-
ator Sumner presented the following resolution
for adoption in the Senate:
RESOLVED, That government founded on military
power having its origin in military orders, cannot
be a republican form Of government" according
to the requirement Of the Constitutions and that its
recognition will be contrary not only to the Consti-
tuition but also to that essential principle of
Government which, in the language of Jefferson
tablishes "the supremacy of the civil the mill
tary authority
Now.-This same Senator Sumner is now
dissatisfied with the military rule which exists
over the South, because ''it is too lenient,"
and in the late July session of Congress said;
Congress has not been Radical enough. Civil gov
ernments in the whole South ought to be swept away
And the man who thus antagonisticaly
changes his views in short two years is the
model New England Senator the pattern

THs ORGANIZATION OF THE LEaIsLArURS
Tho two Houses of the Legislature
were organized yesterday with but little
trouble or delay. The presiding officers
Of each House are Mr.. Belongs friends;
but that fact can hardly be taken as in
dicating Mr.. belongs sscendency in
the Legislature. He and his friends
had o plan Of organization cut and
dried, and there being no similar sys-
temized plan arranged by that gentle
mans opponents, his little arrangement
succeeded. Mr.. Sumner, the pro TEN
President Of the Senate, is n Of the
most experienced and talented Of the
house Of whicb-he is,a member, and will
no doubt perform such duties as devolve
upon him In the character of o presid-
ing oficer with ability and expedition.
The same character 81, remarks may be
rightfully applied to Mr.. Speaker Fer
guson. The Clerical force of either
house is, to the best Of our knowledge,
well selected and, taken by and large,
the officers chosen would seem to be of
the sort from whom full satisfaction
may be expected. 1T Is to be hoped that
the Legislature will do all Its work Is
well and with as little delay as il per
fected its organisasiop.-Carsos Appeal

A GIANT SILVER vEM.-It would be

A GIANT Silver vEIH.-It would be
too great a tax upon the credulity Of
our readers to state that one of the most
wonderful silver veins in the world OK
lists in the County Of Lander, scarcely
seventy miles northeast Of the City Of
Austin? As marvellous as the statement
appears, we believe it to be strictly true.
OF course the adjective wonderful is
used relatively. There are small veins
of highly concentrated ore, whose yield
Of silver is almost fabulous; and others,
again, Of immense size, whose steady
product for centuries has given them
rank as ~curiosities in the history Of min
ing. The latter, too, are developed
mines. We allude to o monster mine
yet in embryo, called the Nevada Giant.
II is situated in the district of Cortez,
which was discovered in the year 1863.
Why 1t is NOT q developed mine, or rath-
er, a series of mines; at the present day,
would constitute q long story, which we
are not now in the mood to relate. This
giant vein is imbedded in the bosom Of
Mount Tenabo, a lofty peak some 10000
feet above the level Of the sea, and up
wards of 5000 feet above the surround
ing valleys. Its base, and thousands Of
feet up its side to the vein, are covered
with a small scrubby pine; while its
summit, and 1900 feet below, Is over
grown with grass and shrubs. The
SCARED and ruggedmountain looks eter-
nal. Some 5000 feet above its base q
monster vein Of silver-bearing quartz
cuts its face obliquely, burying itself
in the mountain at n end, and pene-
trating into tho valley OF the other, after
stretching out in palpable view the
enormous length 1880 feet. Its width
Is 400 feet. In the course Of its extreme
length the leviathan is cut t~raniversely
by O number Of small veins of silver
mineral. We state this as of doubtful
occurrence, for in the judgment of sew
eral persons who have examined the
Giant, they are not traverse veins, but
lateral spurs or chimneys from the main
vein, and generally exhibit mineral Of
very rich character. This giant vein is
encased in highly crystalline limestone.
Twenty locations have been made on
the vein. 1t will be developed. And
when that day arrives, we believe the
Nevada Giant will be almost universally
regarded as among the wonderful mines
of the world.-Reess Rivsr Repeile jan

: Tho Mormsns.

At the Tabernacle last Sunday, Brig
ham Young re-enunciated from the stand
his determination that the Mormons
should not only keep sloft from unsaint-
ly associates, but must withdraw their
patronage from the Gentiles. This doc
trine-the new, or rather the renewed
crusade-is taught through the press
and enforced from the pulpit. Nor, as
we have shown, is it confined to this
city-where Gentiles most do congre-
gate-but from one end of the Territory
to the other has the fat gone forth, and
bishops, elders, deacons and teachers,
from the greatest to the least, are en-
gagged in the work Of proscription. The
card Of Brigham Young in reply to the
proposition Of the merchants of this
city, sought to make it appear that the
prescription though general Units terms,
was intended only for q few persons
who had made themselves personally
obnoxious, by some real or fancied
transgression against the notions or in
terests Of the Mormons. But the shal-
lowness of this pretence hardly needs
the exposure It has met.
1t was evidently not intended for home
consumption, but for a foreign market.
That the bsne and the sntidote might
90 together, we gave yesterday q brief
account of the working of the thing in
Nephi and Spanish Fork. Notwith-
standing, we are assured that In both
instances we gave the version most ia
vorable to the Church leaders, we are
fully prepared to, have our account and
comments set down as ISLANDER, mis-
representation and persecution" This
seems to be the standing poor defence
of a certain classt of would-be defend
ers-not of the Mormon religion, but Of
the teachings of the Mormon leaders.
We are content that it should be so,
and to rest satisfied that out of their
own mouths and by their OWN acts shall
they be judged.-Sah Lake Vtdshe, Dec.
29th.
