A Letter From q Washoeite-Frsm the
Sweetwater Mines.
These mines have been attracting con-
siderable attention at Salt Lake since
their discovery /; and quite a number of
miners have gone there and made loca-
tons. The mines are about three hun
dred miles East of Salt Lake, aud are
likely to turn out immensely rich. The
Union Pacific Railroad will run within
sixty miles of them, according to sur
veys made. The following is an extract
from a letter received yesterday by mail,
by Charles Van Gorder, Esq, of. Gold
Hill, from James w. Mills, u practical
Comstock ledge miner, formerly of Gold
Hill, and Austin, and who repaired to
the Sweetwater mines soon after they
were discovered. We extract such por-
tons of his letter. which may interest
the general reader:
Souri, Pass MINES, Sept. l6, 81.
FRIEND CHARLEY: We are some three
hundred miles from Salt Lake, and
about thirty miles from South Pass,
near the Wind River Mountains. The
Pacific Railroad will pass within fifty
or sixty miles Of these mines, and Col.
Dodge, the Surveyor, tells me it will be
built through this section within two
years. These mines, | think, will
prove one of the best quartz regions
ever found. There seems to be no end
to the quartz-and good quartz at that.
The lodges are generally large, say from
one foot to twenty feet thick, and mostly
gold, with a slight trace of silver. The
advantages for milling and mining are
good, there being plenty of wood and
water, and no end to the supply Of
wood. I will say to you, Charley, and
fvour friends connected with me, that
this place suits me better than any
mining camp | have ever seen, or ever
expect to see-for there is more good
quartz in the same space than | have
ever seen in Nevada or California. If
my judgment does not deceive me, it
will surpass, in time, Gold Hill and
Virginia city. | have now been here
tw~enty-eight days, and have been hard
at work all the time. | have made some
ten locations. When we came into these
mines, there were forty men with me, all
good men, but the Indians were so bad
that we were compelled to prospect in
large parties sand for that reason

son not present in person. send you

FUNNY ArrAIR.-The wheelbarrow feat
at San Juan must have been an extreme
" funny affair. 4 gentleman who was
present and witnessed it, informs US
that before starting out the wheeled,
Gaynor, and the wheeler, Huckins,
agreed that all the saloons and drinking
places in town should be visited, and
that each party might take as many
smiles as they deemed proper, but nei-
Their party to smile without the other
Joining in the operation. They further
agreed that whichever party became
first intoxicated the other party should
do the wheeling. The result was that
Huckin, became very tired, and had to
be put on the barrow. Instead Of wheel
ing Gayuor home Gaynor became the
wheeler, and Huckins the wheeled.
Huckins fell early in the engagement.
If Joe Lask had made such an arrange
ment with his wheeler here that boquet
Of flowers would have belonged to some
body else.-Maryscile appeal.
Geo. Smith, Of Red Mountain, says
that il "Old Pike" had had such an ar
raugemeut in Virginia it would have
been a sure treat at every saloon in
in town, and then the ~station-house
men would have been obliged under the
law to capture the barrow and Sim
mates" Well: suppose so.

Kaleidoscope Views.

An exchange furnishes the follow.
ing kaleidoscope views of passing
events in the world:
Russia liberated her serfs. France
obliged Austria to relax her oppress-
i've grasp on Venice, and the Vene-
tians were restored to their liberty.
Four millions of negroes, without
an effort on their part, were liberated,
and the same act liberated the South
from the responsibility of taking
care of them.
Many of the sons of Erin fought
against the South, to prevent, as
they supposed, the extension of
slavery. Promises of assistance for
the liberation of Ireland were ex-
pected to be fulfilled. Fenianism
was organized-the people adopted
it. and the clergy opposed it. The
advice OF the clergy was rejected, and
the people were freed from that in
huence.
England covertly instigated and
famed the flame of discord in this
country, which resulted in the late
bloody war. Her neutrality deceived
both parties in the conflict. The
profits from manufactured articles
for war purposes enabled her citizenS
to become freeholders, and recently
about one million were enfrnnchised,
thus giving freedom to abont five
millions of people.
Doubtless, the free discussion of
the american question" was the
instrumental cause Of opening their
eyes to right appreciation of liberty.
The Government of England hoped
for the reverse; Providence ordained
it otherwise.
A word or blink from Napoleon the
Third caused nations to prepare for
war, stocks to rise or fall, and set the
knowing ones agog to define the
meaning of u sentence uttered by
him.
Bismarck exercised this ghost of
the world, and also put o quietus
upon that monster of oppression,
"the balance of power.
This Bismarck, who may be sur
named Jack, the Giant Killer, may
give trouble yet.
The Cretans will probably get free
dom, and the Russians gain posses
sion of Constantinople, which will
enable them to enjoy the freedom of
the seq.
Italy bids fair to be successful in
her struggle for freedom.
The Spaniards are in revolt for
freedom.
Mexico is freed from European
dictation.
Recent elections in this country
indicate freedom from radicalism.
King Cotton was to exact tribute,
but present prices indicate that the
world is free from his dominion.

&SAAAlOAh nAOVIAnhE1N1o 4CN S1Afh1nSo-
ToN.-The Courier, of the 26th, says:
I'VE learn that at IN informal politi-
cal meeting, composed of old, re-
spectacle colored men of this city,
the following Independent ticket for

We also understand that the Re-
publicans have adopted programme
for the election of twelve members
from each ward, as delegates to q
general nominating convention. Each
candidate must receive two-thirds
vote of this convention before being
placed upon their regular ticket.

Tho Trini or Mr. Davis.

The New York Tribune, of the 25th
inst, says:
"Chief Justice Chase, the whole
country will gladly hear, has given
notice that he will preside at the trial
of Jefferson Davis, provided the
parties will consent to bring it on
November 18th instead of November
27th-the latter being the day speci-
fed in Davis bail-bond for his ap-
pearance to answer to the indictment
found against him. AS the Chief
Justice is 10 preside in the Supreme
Court, which commences its annual
session on the first Monday in De-
cember, his request is reasonable,
and, we presume, will be acceeded to.
So we may consider it settled that the
trial will commence on the 18th prox-
imo, and that the Chief Justice will
preside.
"May we not now hope that the
Attorney General will lead the prose
cution? This is no petty larceny
matter. It were sheer affectation to
mistake it as other than great State
trial-one destined to be cited as a
precedent-to be studied and COM
mented on through many years. The
questions involved are those of pub
lie and constitutional law-thero are
no facts in dispute. and the exami-
nation of witnesses need not occupy
two hours. We judge, also, that the
empanneling of the jury need excite
little interest, since the issue must
depend on the law of the case as
ruled by the Court. That Jefferson
Davis levied war against the United
States is as incontestable q fact rs
that Andrew Johnson is now Presi-
dent, or Salmon P. Chase Chief JUS
tice; we cannotssuppose that eminent
lawyers will hesitate to admit it.
And, as the only grave questions in
volved are questions. of law, it would
seem plain that the law on which q
conviction is demanded should be
propounded and set forth by the
highest law officer of the Govern
ment-in effect, by the Government
itself.
"sixty years fave elapsed since the
only great State trial in our Federal
history-that of Aaron Burr, late
Vice-President of the United States.
also for treason. Davis has not filed
quite SO lofty station, having been
United States Senator and Secretary
of War; but then he was the Presi-
dent of Confederacy which, for four
years, divided and defied the whole
power of the Union. Then the Chief
Justice was from the South, the ac-
cused from the North; now the posi-
tions are reversed; but it is notable
that Richmond is tRe scene of both
| trials"

CHEERING SIGNs.-Direct trade be-
tween Europe and the South is
springing up. Steam lines nrc in
operation between Liverpool and
New Orleans, and North Germany
and New Orleans. 1t is also an
nounced that there are now seven
ships on their way from Liverpool to
Savannah, with assorted cargoes, and
one from Stockholm bringing load
of iron. Cotton will form the bulk
of their return cargo.
FIRE ON THE STATE RoAD.-The
two-story dwelling house and all the
out-buildings, except the stable, on
the plantation of Mr.. W. w. Wilbur,
eleven miles from this city, on the
State road, were entirely consumed
by fire last Friday night. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The loss is
believed to be covered by insur-
auce. .-CharleSton Courier.
It is said that Mr.. Bancroft, Ame-
rican Ambassador at the Court of
Berlin, has had an interview with
Count Bismarck, urging the with
drawal of Prussia's 8 claim for military
service on certain classes of former
Prussian subjects now in this coun-
try. The Prussian minister has pro-
missed to lay the matter before his
sovereign.
An intelligent New York merchant
estimates for us that the shrinking in
the value of American cotton for the
year, between September, 1867 and
1868, will be equal to 0,000, 600 or
$4,000, ,000-about one-hulf of which
may be made up by breadstuffs in
the corn and wheat sent to Europe.

Th,o Good Time Coming.

"Good men are assembling now
and shaking hands, as men who
begin to see daylight. security and
peace" Thus writes the New York
correspondent of the National Inteui-
gence7., rs to the consequence of the
late Northern elections and its effect
upon the public mind. We are afraid
he is too sanguine. There may be
no party in political sense, as he
says, in effecting this work of reform;
but. nevertheless, we notice in most
of our exchanges, TINT the recent
extraordinary revulsion in the politi-
cal sentiment of the North and West
is invariably claimed as "Demo-
cratic victory"
The harness of party is difficult to
shake off; but until the mere success
&C party and party men takes sub,
ordinate position among those who
take an active part in public affairs,
there is little hope for the country.
Principles, not party, must work out
that salvation so earnestly desired by
good men, both North and South.
The people of this section are willing
even to maintain the fruits of the
war, bitter though they be; and the
people of the North should see that
nothing more be demanded of the
people they have subdued, viz: the
Union and the Constitution. In
maintaining these, instead of seeking
new and unnecessary guarantees or
humiliating terms, they will find in
the Southern people true and faith
full allies.
