REV, WILLrAx N. MARrrS.-From the

Is
highly esteemed former citizen Of this
section, aud to whose energetic labors
in the cause of Christianity the hand
some Presbyterian Church on South c
street, Virginia, stands as a monument
"Rev. William N. Martin, Of Virginia
City, Nevada, { the man with the big
maps spent the last Sabbath in u
city, very greatly TO the delight OF all
who saw and heard him. In the morn
ing he addressed the Westminster con-
gregation (Rev, Mr.. Bacon's) and after
ward spoke to their Sabbath School.
At night he spoke for more than two
hoursiu the Congregational Church tine
Rev. Mr.. Williams') to n very large aa-
dience, including representatives from
several other city churches. AT eacn
church his large map was suspended
showing at q glance all our States ana
Territories, our great rivers, our system
of railroads, including the different
rou,es to the Pacific, our gold, silver,
copper and other mineral regions ; our
vast and extensive domain in all IT
length, breadth. and magnihcence. All
these addresses were listened to with
the deepest attention aud the profound
es. interest. II is entirely impossible
for us to report them, or to give any ad-
eouate idea of their value as a portrait
ure of the Present and the Future of our
vast country. The amount of statisti-
cal and other information presented by
Mr.. Martin, could only be acquired by
years of p~atient study and investigation,
and by extended travel and observation.
Mr.. Martin concluded his addresses with
q most eloquent appeal Ito the patriot
and the christian for the men and means
to build churches and sustain pastors In
the new towns and cities that are so rap.
idly ~springiug up in u new States n
Territories, especially on tho limo OF the.
new railroads to the Pacific. At a meet
ing OF the ~clergymen Of the different
denominations, held on Monday morn
ing, Mr.. Martin made another extended
address, for which they gave him n vote
of thanks. We are sure that all who
heard him in our city, would most cor
daily unite in thanking him for the in-
s,ruction and delight that his lectures
have afforded them"
Coop FRIpAY.-The day after to.mor-
row is q day held in especial remem-
brancc by all Christian people as the
anniversary Of the crucifction Of our
Savior. Religious exercises will be held
at the Catholic Churches, in Virginia
and Gold Hill, and at St. Paul's (Epis-
copal), in Virginia, ut IL O'Clock A. NJ.
Il is proper that on this day all labor
should cease, aud Christian folk, for one
day at least, rest from the cares ana
anxieties of busy every day life and
think Of the sad, yet to all most touch
ing and important event the day brings
to mind. To residents of Nevada, where
death is often sudden, and miners with
out n moments opportunity to breathe
a PRAYER, are hurried TO the next world,
il especially behooyes them to think
seriously, at least one day in the year,
and apply their hearts unto wisdom.
Annually the strict observance OF this
day increases among all denominations.
and we trust it will be he sentiment OF
our leading firms to close thor places oil
business here for that day.
YELLOW JAcKEr.-0perations at this
mine for the past two weeks have been
suspended in the way Of taking out ore
at the south shaft, and they are only
working the shifts engaged in opening
drifts to the ledge in the lower levels
and sinking the shaft. One cage is used
by the men in sinking, and another by
those working in the drifts, while the
third is used to hoist the ore OF the
Ken,uck. The men who were engaged
in the breast of the mine in these works
have been removed to the north shait,
where they are taking out about i2o
tons per day of most excellent ORE II
is generally understood that the north
mine now shows u large amount oil GOOD
paving ore, although it would not pay
for working when milling cost S25 per
ton. There is not o shade OF doubt out
the mine will in the course OF q few
weeks make some developments which
will cause the stocks of the Company
to rise very rapidly.
The SALOON on the DivIpE.-There
is a 6ne new saloon on the Divide, or
we may say a favorite and established
one re-opened. Thomas Hebron, so
we'll known in Virginia, has. become
PROPRIETOR Of the Confidence saloon, on
the Divide, q few doors north oil tue
Russ House, and having rented II
throughout in q very superior ana con
venient manner, is now DESTROYS oil
meeting all his old friends and as many
new ones as wish to try his hospitalities
NJ his new place Of business. This Con-
fidence saloon will also be the grand
beer depot for the Union Brewery,
therefore lager will DO sold by the glass,
quart, gallon, bottle or keS. Comfort
able chairs, and tables, and plenty oil
latest newspapers to read. Drop IN
and inspect the Confidence Saloon.
The OrurR.-The 0phir Company
have started up their pump at the new
shaft. The bore of the pump is twelve
inches in diameter, and the whole o.
the machinery works to perfection. II
has not been found necessary to stop
since tho pump started. The shait Is
now about $50 feet deep, and is just IN
range with the rich deposits found IN
the Savage and Hale & Norcross mines
The progress of work upon it will be
watched with much interest by all con
cerned 10 mines lying both to the sontf
and northward.
AFTER H TRuNPEr.-Tickets for thu
Yellow Jacket Ball tomorrow night, a
Theater Hall, Gold Hill, are selling OF
at a very lively rate. A splendid silve'
FIRE trumpet presented to Yellow JACKIE
Hose Co. by Michael McCluskey, Esq.
of this town, is to become the property
of the one who brings in the cash 10
the largest number of tickets sold. l,
consequence of this, an animated rivair!
is the result, and the question is-i"wh'
wins the trumpet?
