The COMING STATE CONVENTION,

The true friends and consistent mem
GERS of the Union party are reminded
that they owe duty to the cause o
Tepublicanism in their action bearing
upon the coming State Convention. II
IS not to be ignored that the L" Conser
vatives" who are forever pulling the
party away from the progressive re-
;uiremeuts of the times, have a fixed
purpose to commits declarations to the
Opposite Of &" Radicalism." The lead
ers and followers of this faction are,
some OF them, actuated by timidity,
some by a constitutional prediction in
favor Of Democracy. The history OF
their course since the war, embraces
rheir reluctance to accede to the more
aggressive measures made necessary by
the progress of events and their pas
sire antagorism to everything that as
sailed slavery. They gulp reconstruc-
ton with a wry face because it enfran-
-chises the negroes; and they doubt the
"policy" of Impeachment. Now while
we deplore the existence of factions in
:he Union party, we would have it fore
warned and forearned against being
committed to such an expression of SEN
timent as would make its future rela-
rions to the possible platform and meas
ares OF the party irreconcilable and in
consistent. In other words, we would
have the party as represented in the
coming convention prepared to defend
rsdicalism, if need be, against the ag-
.sressions of conservatism, and to inter-
pose its action between our radical rep
-eseatssives and any attempt that may
bs offered locking te the population of
their course with regard to the Congress
sional plan. We would have the party
true to itself; bold, honest and frank
evasions and not looking be-
hind asserting its self respect and re-
fasing any show of concession to the
powers of evil.

A LETTER FROM swEETwATER.

The following interesting statement
OF mining operations and prospects il
and about the Sweetwater mines wa;
placed in our hands yesterday by tho
gentleman to whom the letter was ad
dressed :
SOUTH Pass CITY, Carter County, D. T., !
! March LIST, 1868.
Friend Carey: With view to giving you
some information regarding the mines here.
about, l append the following general state
mentS:
South Pass City is located about eighteen
miles north of west of the South Pass on
Willow Creek, one of the main tributaries Of
the Sweetwater. The first discovery of gold
bearing quartz was that of the lode known
as the Caresco, which proved to be so remark
ably rich that its proprietors were constrained
to protect it by building house over it to
keep outsiders from carrying off specimens.
1t is owned by the Saints in Salt Lake. A
new title has been set up to it by Carter &
Co., of Fort Bridger. There is no end to
numerous that l won't pretend to give you a
list of their names.
Placer diggings are limited as yet; but
several shallow gulches have been prospected
with favorable results.
This is destined to be the great quartz hub
of the Rocky Mountains. l have crushed
rock in hand Mortar that paid from eight
70 twenty dollars per dav. But, would add,
quartz Of this richness is only found in
g pockets :" and these rich deposites abound.
In distance oftwenty-five miles from here
IS 4 fine agricultural country where stock has
been wintered with much success.
&C., r~I
men here and in the valley. But while there
is an abundance of workers, there are no
capitalists among us. OF course the district
will not be developed until persons of means
become interested in it. According to the
laws of the District non-residents are not
allowed to be located in the lodges. OF
course this has bad effect. Some Montana
strangers, who style themselves Vigilantes,
and the Mormons rule the day. as yet, but l
hope that California will be represented here
by men who will take interest in the country.
As amongthe claims (ledges) tina. are very
rich in gold | will mention The Atlantic,
the Miners Delight" and " The Lone Star
State" Some prospectors have just come
in from Wind River who say that the Indians
will not allow them to prospect thereabout.
Explorers are timid about venturing far from
here on account of the Sioux Indians who
are very hostile.
When came here there were but nine
men in the camp and they were living in a
fort. Immediately on our arrival we located
a gulch claim commencing at line crossing
the Caresco Ledge. We got prospects here
ranging from l2i to 81 cents to the pan.
Hauling our lumber from Fort Bridger, we
built acqueducts and washed two days. We
found that our digeings yielded about twelve
dollars per day to the hand. We had to sus-
pend operations on account of the severity of
the weather which was extremely cold.
1 have made these few scattering state
ments in great haste. You are at liberty to
make them public if you so desire.
Yours, &C., WIN. T. NOEL.

EASTERN DISPATCHES,


CHICAGO, March 25.-Contradictory
reports relative to the Arkansas cleo
tons have been received. The general
opinion of the Republicans at Wash
ington is said to be that the Constitu-
ton has been defeated, but dispatches
from Memphis tonight give the vote in
a number of counties which lead to the
hope that the Constitution has been
carried. The Memphis Avalanche. how
ever, insists that the Constitution has
been defeated by at least 5000 major
ity. The election passed off quietly
throughout the State.
NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-General
Buchanan has assumed the command of
this district.
The District Court has decided that
the signature of Governor Flanders to
an Act passed by the Legislature while
Wells was Governor, and not signed by
Wells, il valid, and the Act is law.
The Germans of this city are raising
funds for the relief Of the people of
East Pennsylvania who are suffering
from famine.
Fifty thousand dollars were stolen
from the Canal bank this morning. Ten
thousand dollars reward has been Of
fered for the recovery of the money and
arrest of tho thief.

it may be found in the position which has
been taken by Dunn and Isabelle. 10
order to serve the purposes of those who
back them, they haveignored the Consti-
tuition by which they can alone act, the
military authority which appointed them i,
and all the opposition members OF the
Legislature. The truth is, no really SEN
sible >colored man would allow himself, to
be thrust into such attitude, or to be put
in prominent position, because it must be
evident that any advantage gained by such
an unnatural lift, and depending upon the
passions of the hour, cannot be of long
continuance or prove Of any solid value
either to himself or to the colored people
generally. The colored population Of
Mississippi have awakentd to this, and
have discovered that their worst represen-

tify personal vanity, allow themselves to
be put forward by men who have but just

real sympathy with its population. either

To the School Commissioners.

GENTLEMEN: me to direct your
attention to small work, just such as should
be in all our schools. 1t is clear, conspre-
hensioe, impartial, and meets out even-hand-
ed justice alike to each section and every por-
ton of our country. do not propose to
describe the work; you have too much dis
erection to endorse any work without first ex-
aminingit. But it may not be inappropriate
in me or in any one, who feels deep soiici-
tude in the training of our children, to call
attention to such works as are proper to be
put in our Public Schools. The work refer
to is The First Class Book Of History, design
ed for pupils commencing the study of histo-
ry, by M. J. Kerney, A. NJ, and published
by John Murphy & Co., 1872 Baltimore street.
Those whose prerogative it is to control the
literature of our Public Schools sustain most
responsible position; their influence will ex-
tend to generations yet to come upon the
stage of action. This little work-little in
bulk, in material dimensions, but vast in its
range and comprehensive in detail, is of just
such character as ought to be adopted in all
schools, both public and private, and that
through the entire length and breadth of our
country. But apprehend that this most
important character in all histories-I mean
its exact, even-handed mpartiality-will ex-
clude it from some sections Of our great coun
try; and l apprehend also that to you this
very trait OF honest, open truth-te11lng viii
be its strongest recommendation, for what is
history without truth but fable, and what is
distorted history but a le2 We all have had
to lament the introduction of such historical
works without the power of redressing the
wrong, as to say the least were partial, un-
just, uneven, distorted, and often malignant.
One leading design was seen through the
whole of them-it to make our young people
feel their native land was an object of pity !;
that their fathers were to be commiserated !;
that Eastern hills and Northern ATTITUDES
were elevated into region of beauteous light
irradated with glorious freedom and illimit-
able civilization; While we poor South-born
creatures-rash, pusillanimous and tyrauni-
cal-were limping, tagging centuries behind
our more enlightened and enterprising bretb-
rem. 1t seems to me that the historical works
introduced in our Public Schools are in their
tone and spirit, in their amplifcation and
tendencies, to impress our youths with the
feeling that inspired the bosom and found
utterance in the taunting language of Gus
man to the PROSTATE and kneelng Montezu-
ma:-"Let your sovereigns know that we
were born your conquerors. Now I think
better close our Public Schools, if needs be,
than feed the intellectual nature of our youths
with such stuff. Let them rather grow wild
as the untutored savage, who sees God in
clouds and hears Him in the wind, for there,
in the beautiful drapery of the heavens, they
see the hieroglyphics of Jove and in the
rushing tempest they hear Fathers voice.

The Two Negro Presidents.

The Two Negro Presidents.
The President of the Senate of Louisi-
ana is negro, and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives is mulatto !;
and very large proportion of the mem
bers of the two branches of the Legisla-
ture are negroes. By the order of Gen.
Grant and the reconstruction act Of Con-
gress this state of things exists. One has
only to read Uncle Toms Cabin and the
current literature of the North to see that
it is quite impossible for these people, just
released from slavery, to be sufficiently
intelligent to frame laws or to discharge
the functions of State Office. 1t is certain
that the military force, which now presides
over every private and public interest in
the South, could alone secure to these
colored men the places they now occupy,
and that they sit there as the representa-
tives of New England and the Northern
States generally. and not as the true rep
resentatives of the people of this State
They sit there the essence of whole will
derness Of monkeys.
"Grave and disguised with all merriment,"
And as venerable as
"a serious ape whom none take seriously"
They know themselves to be out of
place, and everybody else knows them to
be that they have no right to represent
either the wealth, the intelligence or the
industry Of State; and that in thousand
years they could not, by their own force
or merit, if freed from every disadvantage
of caste prejudice, have attained to such
an eminence. Sitting as they do in the
presence Of race superior to themselves
and to most other races of men. they can
not but reflect that they themselves belong
to race inferior in wisdom, genius and
achievement to all others; that they have
been placed by the white man of the North
temporarily in position as the exponent OF
his unappeased rage, and as an illustration
of his great power over the white man Of
the South. Knowing all this, they con-
sent to be the cats paw of the lowest in
struments of Northern Radicalism. II
any more were wanting to show the in
herent weakness of these colored puppets,
