and were doubtless sacked Of their
money before morning. We heard one
poor devil, who had taken several doses
Of chain-lghtning whisky, complaining
Of having lost some Of his money. We
did not inquire how he lost it or where,
but there is no doubt but that he lost it
by some unfair means. There are too
many persons living in Virginia city at
the present time who are without any
visible means of support for q drunken
man to pass through with money and
come out with a cent. While we do
sincerely regret that the laboring classes
will not take heed and abstain from
becoming intoxicated, we can scarcely
pity them if they are robbed, as there
is not one Of them but has had an album
dance of experience in the matter. How
many persons on the night after pay
day are there in Gold Hill who 60 to
Virginia, and the text day come home
without a dollar? How many lose all
they have, get themselves full Of whisky
and find themselves in the station-house
next day, without 3 cent to pay q ine?,
Their heads are sore, and the Court
sentences them to ten or fifty days in
the city prison. The money must be
borrowed, and the sum Of from $50 to
$3.50 paid, or il must be served out At
the rate of So per day. A situation is
lost, and what is to be done? They are
thrown on the charities of the world,
without a cent and with nothing to do.
There are several persons now in the
Virginia station-house who have got
there in the manner we have mentioned.
We have time and again made mention
Of this matter, yet men persist in going
against good counsel, and after they
have spent their hard earned money, are
sorry they had not listened to the coun-
sci of friend.
SILVER BRIcEs.--Lsst Saturday even
ing, we saw in front Of Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s Express Office, Virginia, one light
mule team loaded with brick, and an
| other two-horse team loaded with the
same. The brick, unlike those generally
used in the erection Of houses, were
| composed of silver. There were sixty
| six of them in toto, and being very
large ones, would probably weigh in the
| vicinity of FIVE tons. They were all
from the Gould s Curry Mill, and were
brought up for shipment. The amount
of bullion, now on hand, in Virginia
and Gold Hill, is difficult to estimate,
but there is evidently over twenty tons
| on hand. Reese River continues to
send in even a larger amount than
usual. There is now a large amount
on hand from Reese River, and the office
of Wells, Fargo s Co., we understand,
do not wish to receive any bullion
until the Reese River bullion inland
is shipped, which will take several days
at least. 1t is getting to be a pretty
state Of affairs, indeed, that our mines
are yielding more bullion than we are
able to get over the mountains. We
| should have a mint in operation and
| coin our own money, and not be de-
pendant on California for our supplies
as now.

WHY Nor?-Why do not the Board Of
Aldermen of Virginia city grant to the
fruit stand near the corner of Union
and c streets the right to shove their
stands entirely across the sidewalk?
They now do not extend out more than
half way across. There is not q place
in the city where there are SO many
persons congregated as at this point,
and with the sidewalk blocked up by a
lot of apple boxes, it is almost impossi-
BILE to pass along. without going into the
street. This is q nuisance and should
be abated at once. Why is it that one
man has rights granted him that proves
an inconvenience to all others?
Snow on THE Suxxrr.-The Agent Of
Wells, Fargo & Co., who just crossed
the mountains by the Bonner Lake
route with the treasure from California,
told US that the snow on the summit,
between Bonner Lake and Cisco, was
sithin two feet of the telegraph wires,
making it % feet deep. There is q
greater depth of SNOW on the Sierras
than has been seen for many years.
The snow is very light and soft, making
the travelling very bad.
DISPOSED Or.-The parties who were
engaged in the shooting affair yester-
day, in Virginia, were this morning
brought before the Recorders Court,
charged with disturbing the peace, and
were fined the sum Of 500 each, or fifty
days in the City Jail. This is as light
as could have been expected under the
| circumstances.
