EDITOR HERALp:-There is but little new
to furnish to your readers from this neigh.
borhood. This place which during the last
season had been lively, is now quite dull, ow
ing to the departure of great number oil
our old resident miners, who were forced to
leave and find employment elsewhere, as
their employers cut down their wages to
less than living rates. The fact is here is nc
work for the white man-unless he chooses
to submit to the pay Of Cbnaman-and
the treatment Of dog. The teachings and
influence of the Rump Radical leaders and
managers, have imbued the minds of their
followers, with the ideas that to give the in
telligent achite man a chance to earn his
daily bread is crime against Congress-
That reason is incompatible with Rumpism-
that intelligence is allied to patriotism, De
mocracy and constitutional liberty, all of them
subversve Of sAoddy, treason, treasury bonds
lie atty, hypocrocy aud traud, ergo, down
with the white man-empoy the Chinaman
freeze out and scatter white labor and give
the niger the ballot. Thus you destroy the
elective power of the citizen-reduce the
cost of labor--botIle up the people with all
of their righs-and control all offices forever
But thank God their BeIshazzar feast is
about ended, their SaturnaIia" is drawing
to close. The times are portetious and let
Radicalism look to itself An insul;ed
plnpdered people are about to rise in their
wrath and iuhict upon the sacrilegous des-
poers of the Constitution vengaucs in
contemplation Of which they may well stand
appalled,. Democrats here are alive to the
duties of the hour.
The Key Stone Club" which embraces
this precinct as well as the whole of Town
ship five. have formed Club and reading
room and will hold their meetings regularly
| through the coming canvass.
1t is my painful duty to record a fatal ac-
cideut which happened at Smiths point last
week. A about the hour of IL o'clock, on
| Wednesday the 6lh inst, two young men
Messrs Hodge and Dyer were sIuced out of
their claim. The former was dead when
found, and the other although living, is not
out of danger.
The weather here is quite warm, carrying
the mercury up to ITO degrees in the sun.
On" neighbor Forest Hill is pursuing the
even tenor of its way. Mr.. Il. A. Mcdonnell
has purchased the brick building of VIM
Duck, in Yankee Jims. which he is tearing
down, and will erect at the corner Of Broad
and Gold streets. Mac is an old line Demo,
crat ard intends that all parties shall have
fair play so far as the grub is concerned.
The people of Forest hill are mo ing in the
matter of a Fourth of July celebration and
design that it shall be a grand affair.
1t is stated that some of the mills near
Tcdds Valley are about to commence opera
TONS
Messrs. E. Hamilton and Frank Miner
have struck il large at Spring Garden, and it
is hoped that this place which years ago
yielded very rich, may be again worked as
the range is very extensive,
