LATEST From SwEETwATER.--From
private letter just received from the Sweet.
water mines, and directed to II. Lehman,
we are permitted to make the following ex>
tracts; .... ..r.

good miuing camp. In this District there
Is one gulch that pays well. From a five
days run, with four men at work, nineteen
hundred dollars was cleaned up. There has
been but little prospecting done here for pla-
Ger mines. Everybody is crazy about quartz,
and people will not prospect for anything
else. California District is few miles north
OF the one just mentioned, and the gulches
are paying ten dollars day to the hand
rockers being used. The weather is too cold
for slulcing. There are hundreds of Quartz
lodes here, aud some of them are very rich in
gold. Six tons of quartz hauled to Utah
from one vein, on being crushed Welded
$4,000 per ton. Some are MAKING G,r,v

The Helena Herald of the llth inst. res
ports some cold weather 10 that place. The
mercury was so degrees below zero on the
9th, and at midday 200 below. Every
thing frOze up in the cellars that would at

under the hens Who would live in eli,
mate like that? We have had cold enough
weather here but it has been hot compared
with that experienced at Helena.

MAfLs.The Overland STAGES continue 10

MATIs-The overland stages continue to
arrive regularly, bringing paper and letter
mail from the Atlantic States. The Lacrosse
Democrat comes along very regularly, and
the 'unterriied' are pleased to be 10 receipt
of at least one such paper per week. The
Democrat-notwithstanding it recently lost
one of its ablest editors, by the death Of Mr..
LObdell-is still a vigorous, unAinchipg pa
per. Mail matter from Portland and be-
yond, by the lower route, is cut of almost
entirely. Next spring there will be about a
steamboat load Of old news sent up to the

The Boise papers are pitching into Postal
Agent Brooks about the way he manages
mail matters in the Basin. Brooks is catch

people with better mail facilities, he will

ted "Bully Brooks" did after he caned that
miserable specimen of humanity, Charles
Sumner.

GRIsT MILL.-From the Columbia Press
We learn that Mr. Wait of this valley has
agreed to put up Flouriug Mill at Una
tilla, provided the farmers in that section
will agree to put in certain number acres
of wheat next spring. A meeting of farm
ers has been suggested to take the matter
into consideration If the farmers fail to
take action they will be obliged to wait for
a mill.

WAR.-The Salt Lake Telegraph discusses at
tween President johnson and Congress In such
an event that paper thinks the people of the ex.
treme west would stand aloof from the conflict
and let the eastern folks fight it out Perhaps
so; but the western people might be dragged
into the struggle by the force Of circumstances
Yet, after all, the President has not any power
with which to commence, much less to continue
a war Congress has everything in its own
hands to start with. 1t is all 'bosh.'

THE New MINEs.-A late Virginia City
paper says that there are FIVE hundred men
winteriug in the new mines on the Sweet
water. There is story,goiug the rounds
here that these mines are forty miles square
in extent, and that as high as two hundred
dollars have been taken from one painful of
earth. AS we have not seen anything quite
50 extravagant as that in the newspapers
in regard to these mines, we are inclined
to believe that the story is some miner s
dream.

LOST CoPY.-A communication from a
Stock raiser was handed into this Office one
day last week, and somehow or other it was
laid away so carefully that it has not been
found yet. The contents, as well as we can
suggested that a meeting of Rauchmen
and stock owners b. held in this CITY
for the purpose of devising some plan
whereby owners Of stock might be able to
find their missing animals without con ..
stantly being obliged to hunt all over the
valley for them 1t was proposed that a
book might be kept at somo convenient
place in town where ranchmen would have
regular access, and that entries of lost or
missing stock be described and made there
in. Also that entries be made in the book
of animals known to be estrays and off their
range, together with date of finding, BY
whom found, &c. The correspondent also
invited the opinions, through this paper, of
other stock-men, upon the subject. It ap,
pears to us that some such plan as the one
noted might be adopted to the mutual bene,
fit Of those concerned. There is now a large
numberof animals scattered over the valley
which owners are anxious to find, and if not
found and taken care of soon, they will per.

our latter day consohdationists have Gems
tralized the powers of the government, first
into the hands of the executive, and next TO
the legislative branch, we will go back lit
tie.
When Lincoln lived and reigned, Congress
was hardly recognized branch of the gov
ernment. That body voluntarily gave a.
portion of its power (Which it could not con-
stitutionally do) to the Executive, and Lin
coin was proclaimed to be "the government
The loyal radicals could not see otherwise
than that the "Aesh and blood Of Abraham
Lincoln was the government" Even some
of the radical U. s.. Senators proclaimed
that doctrine in their public speeches to. the
people. But how soon change came over
the spirit of radical dreams. The flesh and
blood government passed from earthly ex-,
istence one night-when, whera, and how,
the public know full well; and Andrew JohuI
son filled its place johnson, it soon be-
came evident, was not radical, be would
not answer the purposes of the leaders in the
work of tyranny and despotism, and the
radicals, high and low, of all grades, forth,
with made the discovery that the ''fesh and
blood of Andrew johnson" was not the gov
ernment, but that Congress was all power
ful, instead. Therefore, Congress took the
government away from johnson, together
with oil the ancient prerogatives, of right
belonging to the Executive, and appropria.
ted it all to lis own uses and purposes. See
what one>ideaism has been displayed by
this very loyal, royal party. First, the
President was the government; now, Con-
gre's is that thing ITSELF "Can such things
be and not cause our special wonder" The
Supreme Court has been SO hampered all
the while that they seemed until recently
to have lost sight of it altogether; but that
venerable institution being about to show
some signs Of life, they "squelched" it eff,
fectually And now We are to have three
grand departments-the Legislative, Exec.
utive, aud Judicial-in QUO. There is amal>
gamation for you, black men. There is your
despotism, bondhoders, But where is ouI
Republic freemen?-we "cant see it." Nei,
ther do we see any Union, nor Constitution,
nor any of the old land marks. They are
behind dark cloud now There is nothing
visible in the political frmament but white
slavery, starving negroes, despotism, the
Rump Congress and the bondholders, The
cloud is dark in the East now, but the sun
shines out in the west. The people in tine
great valley of the Mississippi are moving
They are going "for the right or the grand
est revolution the world ever saw"
