VAN VOORHEES, AND HENLEY.-Refer-
ring to the fact that Van VOORHEES, was
to speak before a Democratic Club at
Oakland lately, the Transcript takes oc-
casiun to relate a good thing which that
speaker had some years ago on Thos.
j. Henley, the old w%ar.horse, so
called. II says: Speaking Of Van, re.
minds US Of II " little story" He pos
sesses quite a vein Of humUr, which he
sometimes exercises without caring
much whether it strikes friend or foe.
On one occasion. 10 the good old
days" when the Democracy were in the
ascendant, Van found himself engaged
in stumping the State with Thomas J..
Henley. This latter gentleman had n
carefully prepared speech, crammrd
with the usual phrases about "aboli-
tion," rights of the South" etc.,
which he repeated from half the stumps
in the State. This ever-recurriug
speech, with the %uproarious applause al
ways coming in at the nme place, be-
came tiresome to our friend, after he
had sat on II platform under the in1ic.
ton some twenty or thirty times. 1t
became MISUNDERSTANDING un-
bearuble, rs the incessaut ticking of a
clock will sometimes affect the nerves
Of II sick person. What to do Van did
not know. The appointments for the
next mouth were all made and must be
kept. To hint 10 the Colonel that his
speech was d little tiresome would be to
make AN enemy for life. Still, the nuis-
ance must be abated, somehow, for the
very dread Of that ever-recurring speech
preyed on his mind so rs almost to in
capacitate him from enlightenIng the
sovereigus. Van IA equal to the
emergency So, one night, lat Downie-
Vile, we believe, when the crowd had
assembled, he arose and delivered word
for word that Internal speech, which,
by this time, be had at his tongues end
US readily as Henley himself. The old
" war horse" listened rs the familiar
words fell upon his ear, until at length
the "sell" flashed upon him, and as
Van approached the brilliant p%eroration,
and Henley knew he should soon be
called upon to address the crowd, and
not u word Of his pet speech left for
him to deliver, he muttrred something

AT a meeting Of soldiers and sailors
In Providence, Rhode Island, General
Burnside made a brief speech, but 1t
was a good one. He stated the issue
in the following words:
Comrades: We all know the object for
which this meeting was called. We have
gone through a long and hardy campaign,
and now we are called for another. The
issues are not changed. We are animated
BY the same sentiments aud principles nov
as then. The same men who opposed the
war for the Union are now the allies Of the
enemies Of our country. It requires no
studied elnquence or elaborate statement to
teach Us our duty in the coming campaign,
but II j. simply 10 sustain the Government,
and support those who sustained US when in
the field. The same people who opposed US
when fighting the battles Of our country, now
oppose the election Of Grant and Colfax. and
advocate the election OF Seymour and Blair.
They are the same men who told you and told
me we never could conquer the rebels, and
the men whom we must meet at the polls and
finish with the ballot the work We supposed
was done with the bullet, by the election Of
Grant and Culfax. The issue 10 as plain and
distinct as in the last election, when Abra.
ham Lincoln was elected and General
Mcclellan defeated. 1t Is the old contest OF
loyalty and disloyalty, and in that contest
am with you heart and soul.

WESTERN EMreazr1oN.

Il. is reported from NJ West, which
is not what was the W.. a few years
ago, but somewhere Near the Rocky
Mountains, instead Of being near the
Mississippi-that the number of emf
grants who are coming in and settling
down there, exceeds all previous expe-
rience. Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas
and Dakota will get the bulk Of the ag-
ricultural emigration; Colorado, Wy
omiug, Idaho, Montana, ETC., will re-
ceive the mining Adventures, eager to
search for gold, but not yet ready to
seek wealth where it is always sure to
be found-in the soil, when properly
cultivated. The experience Of this
country is, that when there are rich
mineral regions discovered, they must
be nearly exhausted of their treasures,
or the procurement Of them reduced to
such conditions of regularity that the
search for wealth Gun be no longer
something in the nature of a lottery,
before the wild pursuit is abandoned.
and men will pay some attention to the
slower but surer method of attaining
competence. This was shown 10 Cali
foruia. After the gold discoveries Of
ls4s, the thousands Of emigrants who
vent there bad no other object IN view
than the acquisition Of sudden riches.
They expected to dig out gold by the
bucketful, and, although time dissi-
pated that illusion in very short order,
the effort to &c. rich suddenly, by means
of mining, continued long utter common
sense told them that the average pro-
duction of q well.cultivated farm was,
to the steady agri%culturist, worth more
than a whole year Of mining, with its
middle profits and subsequent losses, its
streaks of luck and its broad misfor-
tunes. All this vas taught at much
expense ; but it finally was understood,
aud to-day California, from being II great
mining State, has become q great agri-
cultural State. Upon the anne p%rinci-
pie, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming will
in u few years be found to have pro-
duced more actual profit in proportion
to labor, from its fields, than the min
eral Territories from their mines.
