HELP WASrED.-The Stockton Gazette
Of the 9th inst. comes to hand with a
column article in defence of that amia-
bio set Of diabolical cut-throats, the
Ku-Klux Khan. These hell-deserying
midnight assassius are spoken of rs the
"nuclcus of the whites, as the Loyal
Leaguers Of the blacks" In the same
issue the editor of the Gazette, with an
audacity whose sublime hight caps
Popocotapelt, appeals to the decency
and moral sense Of temperance men
against General Grant, the drunken
debauchee. Like the amiable young
mar whose Christian rearing incapaci-
tated him for doing justice to the sub
ject, when his load Of sand WAS found
spilled along q steep ascent up which
he had labored, we confess ourself
utterly unequal to such occasions rs
these. A young man who is entirely
familiar with the profane authors, who
is n good, steady, siugle-hnnd swearer,
and who is willing to devote his undi-
vided time and attention to that depart
ment Of literature, can obtain a good
situation at fair remuneration by CALL
ing at this Office and confiuing his atten-
ton to the political articles in our Demo-
cratic exchanges. n. B.-The duties
will be laborious.

WHAT A CLINATE.-Dan Marble was
once strolling along the wharves in
Boston, when he met a tall, giant look
ing figure, q "digger" from California,
and got into o conversation with him.
Healthy climate, I suppose?
Healthy 1t amt anything disc.
Why, stranger, there you can choose
any climate you like, hot or cold, and
that too without travelin' moro than fif-
teen minutes. Jest think O. that the
next cold mornin' when you get out O.
bed. There's q mountain there, the
Sary Navady they call it, with q valley
on each side of it, one hot and one cold.
Well, get on tho top of that mountain
with a double-barroled gun, and you
can, without moyiu', kill either Summer
Or Winter game, jest as you will
What! have you ever tried it?
Tried it! often; and should have done
pretty we'll, but for one thing.
Well, what was that?
l wanted a dog that could stand both
climates. The last dog l had froze his
tail off while pointiu' on the Summer
side. He didn't git entirely out of the
Winter side, you ste-true rs you live.

THE RISING Sun MINE.-Wo are in
formed by q gentleman who came up
from Colfax yesterday, says the Nevada
Gazette Of the 9th inst, that tho pros
poets of the Rising Sun mine are very
favorable indeed. From present indi-
cations it bids fair to become one Of the
leading mines Of the State. They are
now down III feet, where the ledge is
three and half feet in width, and the
first crushing paid some $25 q ton.
They expect to clean up for the present
weeks run not less than $4,000, besides
many very valuable specimens found in
the rock. On Tuesday last, they found
one specimen valued at over $500, and
on Thursday two specimens werc found
valued at $500 each. These specimens,
besides many others Of less value, were
found in rock taken from the lower
level. The market price Of the stock
has doubled within the past week, n
little Of 1t is offered for sale oven at the
enhanced rates.

A CHANGE l-Ah woll do we remem-
Der, says tho Nevada Transcript, and can
give the names too, how certain Demo-
cratic organs cursed the Administration
of Lincoln because, in the carly part Of
the war, when Grant was beginning to
make his mark in Kentucky, he was not
promoted faster. 1t was because Grant
was u Democrat, thoy said. "Oh! yes;
John Charles Fremont is the pet. Con-
eral Grant ian get no chance" "Put
that sterling old Democrat in his proper
place aud something would como of it"
SC they said, and so it proved. Well,
Grant crushed the rebellion, md now
those same laudators are down OF him
and calling him murderer, butcher, fool,
and several other bad names Now,
wouldn't it seem that the cause Of their
interest in Grant at FIRST was an impress
sion that his Democracy was of that
reasonable kind they had themselves,
and they expected him to sacrifice our
cause as they would have done, while
his failure to be a traitor has induced
vitupcration that has Of late been
heaped upon him from the source Of
ancient praise2

Henry Danziger, of San Francisco, three

THIRD CRoP.-A farmer who resides
at Woodbridge (Cal.) has raised, from
sixty acres Of his farm, only once
plowed, say, the Ms,enger, two crops Of
grain, producing 5000 bushels, and the
third crop i, now standing on the field,
and, as considered by competent judges,
will yield 1000 bushels more, making
in oil 1900 bushels from sixty acres by
once blowing. This is certainly an evil
dence Of good land and a proof Of poor
farming.

clothes he had on commenced work as

named Phelps, at work in a saw mill,
raised his head and brought it in con-
tact with a saw, which cut q ~frightful
cash from near the crown Of his head
almost to the neck, through the bones
of the skull and into the brain. Singu-

A New PAPER.-Tbe first number Of
the Mountain Champion, published at
Belmont, Nye county, came to hand yes
terday. H. N. Barnes is tho business
manager of the Champion, and W. F.
Myers editor. The typographical exc
cu.ion and general makeup of the new
paper are tolerably creditablc, and the
reading matter decidedly so. The po-
litical status Of this new candidate for
popular favor is thus clearly stated in
the salutatory
It Is, perhaps, less important that the po-
litical principles Of this paper should be de-
clared hero and now, than that we declare
our design to steadfastly adhere to the same
for the time to como. In days past party
faith was im~plied-to-day, even an expires.
sion Of such Il not always above suspicion
this must be our apology for making 4 pledge
which might once have seemed superfuous.
The establishment Of the Mountain Cham
pion is due to the liberality and energy Of a
few Union men, who thought that the politi.
cal opinions, and the social aud industrial
interests Of the great and growing county OF
Nye miSnt DC OetteI IcpTeseuleu W t"o Jout-
mails Of opposing politics than BY one paper
in the interests Of Democracy alone.
For the present the Champion is to be
issued weekly, but it will appear more
frequently in future if tho growth and
prosperity of the surrounding country
will justify it. If the initial number is
n fair specimen of what its successors
are to be, we feel no hesitaucy in pre-
dieting for the Champion a useful, as we
bespeak for it a profitable career. We
extend to our friends the right hand of
fellowship; hope that they may receive
their full need of patronage; that the
Champion may prove a political and
financial success; that they may make
it warm for the Reporter, and above oil
be able to mako an uuquestionable
showing, next November, that the pub
LEGATION of their journal has been instru-
mental in promoting harmony in the
Union ranks, exalting loyalty, crushing
treason and aiding in the election Of the
patriots, Grant and Colfax, whose names
head its columns. Selah.

FRoM SwxErwArER.-The swsetwater

Mines of the 9th has the following:
We have had brought to our notice a little
circumstance that goes to show upon what
slight foundation many men condemn o min
ing country. Two gentlemen, who came mere
q few days ago, had concluded hat there was
no show for them and that they would leave
for other parts, but, while out hunting ior
their stock, they discovered and located TWO
lodges, which they pronounce richer tnan
anything they ever saw. The lodes arc large
and the rock exhibits free gold in abundance.
These gentlemen are now Of the opinion that
the country abounds in rich lodges and that
not one quarter Of them have yet been dis.
covered, In which sensible opinion We most
decidedly concur.

WI RErRAor.-We republished, in yes
terday's issue, an extract from cores
pondeuce of the San Francisco Tunes
concerning the causes Of the Union do
feat in Oregon, in which the character
and course of Logan, the Republican
candidate for Congress, were severely
aspersed. We have since been informed,
on authority which we consider indu-
bitable, that the Times correspondent
has done gross injustice to q brave ana
noble champion Of our cause. Our IN
formant assures us that David Logan IS
not IL man Of bad habits, nor capable OF
the maleyolent insult to the memory o!
Baker which was ascribed to him. IL
may have been that during General
Bakers lifetime his contests in the par
.y threw himself and Logan into m At
titude of temporary a%utngonism, and 1t
is possible that tho latter, smarting un-
der u defeat attributable to Bakers in
f~iuencc, may have made use OF some
excited expressions. But we are in
formed that Logan has never tlinched
from the performance of tho most "rdu-
GUS duties, and has always buckled on
his armor in the thickest of the fray.
Such being the case, and we do not for
a moment doubt it, we are led to be.
lieye that the Times correspondent has
been o soured bolter and has satisfied
his spleen against Logan by seeking to
make him the scapegoat Of the late Rc-
publican defeat. Forced to this con-
c~lusion, we truly regret that VIC have
lent ourselves to the cowardly task OF
soothing the party in its defeat at the
expense Of q true man who has been
the chief sufferer by our reverse. Rather
let US curse the ignoble crew whose dis
affection and detection secured a Cop.
perhead triumph. We aro not disposed
to kick n man who has fallen in defense
of our colors, and are mortified TO find
that we have, however involuntarily,
lent our influence to so mean q job.
