days one hundred and twcnty-four new
buildings have been put up, worth not less
than three hundred thousand dollars Fully
half of this amount has been expended upon
substantial stone structures which take the
places Of the light frames, and still more are
in process of construction. And this is in q

among the spurs of the Rocky Mountains,

construction which abound in the East.
When it is considered that all the brick used

FITZ JOHN PORTER.
Justice iM his Case Demanded.

~~~ss~~SsS~~SssS
From the Boston Post, July7.I
It is among the anomalies that in free
government men will be found to excuse
practices at which, under tyranny, they
would revolt. When it is again and again
insisted on behalf of a patriot soldier like
General Fitz John Porter that his sentence
is wi,hou: the support Of justice or Of reason,
it shocks ones sense of right to hear the re-
ply that the wrong done him is past repair
Tie Old World standsreal ly to review its de-
crecs tl,ougl, death itself may have come il,
between the act and the victim. American
justice, we are now told. cannot go behind
the record, but holds the past to be irrcpara-
bic. 1t is impossible to too strongly protest
against 50 mons,rous doctrine. Itmay be,
We allow, that Congress is competent to
protect man like Stanton from the just cf-
feet of his public conduct, but even that act
fails TO touch the merits Of the questions
that arc raised against him 1t is only a
declaration that his case shall no. legally be
rcopcned. But the condemnation of SOL
dier is not a similar affair, even though
brought abou, by the same S,anton's instru-
mentality. A reversal Of judgement is then
demanded for the sake Of truth and justice,
and the character Of the American name
and it is not to bc endured that against such
demand may BE- successfully placed plea
of favor from Stanton or any one else.
Since the present administration came in,
the judgment Of naval conr: martial has
been 81, aside, though tho sentence had, III
the time, been fully satisfied. This signifies
simply that justice is o, all times to be VIM
diratet, even If the actual record become
illegiblc by reason Of correction. In General
POrtcr's case the passion which cnvcIoped
the trial is spent Te suppositious facts
which formed the baas Of the theory that
insured his condemnation have been lncon-
contcsahly proved " be without existence.
A comparison of the records of the contest
ing forces shows tllat the testimony produced
to secure gallant officers conviction was
mistaken, inconsistent, unsupported, and
worthless. As n have, high minded officer
his case should not appeal to true soldier
in vain. 1t is an obligation resting on the
President that it e received in the light of
the facts which time has disclosed Such
injustice cannot stand always and therefore
a nature that loves truth and fairness should
be prompt to ba,ish such standing impu-
ta,ion on the rational name, xs tlst dis
tinguished solder like Fltz John Porter
asks in vain for ; tlispnssionsse review Of q
Judgment, whic! the disclosure of facts has
no!oviously suEiccd TO condemn.

FROM BANNACK.


To rHE EDIroR or THE New NORTH -WRsr:

excuse for business too hot for a white
man to work" The weather gage stands at

parchcd and dried; the hills begin to look
desolate. Grassllopper creek no longer makes
sweet music in running over the rifles. A
few more weeks without rain will dry it up.
Up to the present. however, there has not
been any scarcity Of water for mining, but
ere long it will he seriously deferred
GOOD OUT OF EVIL.
But as the old saying goes, 1t is an i'll
wind that blows 10 body good" SO it is
true Ut Bannack. The low stage of water
has encouraged work in the bed of the creek.
There are dozen or more companies now
working the said bed with the most gratify-
ing results Some of them have 'struck it
big" and arc smiling every day at their good
luck, and no doubt, artlcntly praying,if they
ever dO) that it may not rain again for the
next six months.
In consequence Of these companies many
more shafts will be put down, and parties
arc beginning TO stake the creek for miles,
as has been done many times before, for rich
deposits Of gold have been known to exist.

could not be successfully worked.
PROGRESS OF MINING.
The Bannack Ditci, and Mining Company.
the Pioneer, the White and the Gigray
Ditch and Mining Companies, are all doing
o splendid business. l think there is but
little doubt of their having a suf,l:icncy of
water to do fair amount of mining all the
season.
The water mills that have been preparing
to run on quartz will have slim show. Mr..
Hopkins, though. is still pounding away
and doing we'll
The Argcnta furnaces are in full blast and

Horse Prairie mines arc paying about as
usual-$20 per day to the hand-which is
about the average of mining operations il

Considerable curiosity has been excited

Considerable curiosity has been excited in
Germany by q pamphlet entitled, The
Earth to Receive \ Second Noon, at less
distance from it than the present one AS
the pamphlet has reached second edition,
we may give short extraction from i.
Chapter vi is headed: Newest assertion.
The zodiacal light is ring of gas surround
ing the earth, and but u few thousand miles
distant from it," while the previous chapters
treat of gencra'itics only. The author as
scrts that the said gaseous ring is no longer
burning, but slowly cooling off, invisible
while the sun is below the horizon, of dlt-
ferent density, interrupted by the shadow of
the earth, and depending in height and du-
ration upon the suns direction fromit. Just
as the rings of Saturn, Us admitted b. all
astronomers, have become cold, are the pre-.
cursors of moons, he claims the same result
from the o-callcd zodiac. The new moon,
being comparatively close to The north, will
cause many partial and total cclpscs. The
author thinks that the catastrophe of the
bursting of the ring may be consumma'cd III
our time or that of our children.

The Exodus for <lMcric0.
From the London News. ]

From the London Ncwsl
Are we Witnessing the beginning of an
English exodus? Some prophets Of evil
have long forctold that some day our labor
ers would find the way the Irish peasants
found prosperity and independence, aLd that
when they did SO an exodus would begin.
Whatever be the explanation of the fact,
the increase of emigration from Liverpool is
becoming almost alarming. If in single
week nearly $500 persons can find means to
Get out on Il journey to the Western World.
It is at least clear that movement is in pro-
gross which needs no special government aid
TO keep it going. But it is very doubtful
whether this emigration touches the class
who are supposed to need it most 1t is not
the agricultural laborer, nor the hereditary
pauper of the towns who is hurrying to Liv-
erpool with his face to the West. It is alto
gc,hcr another class. Probably most of the
persons who crowded the ten steamers which
left Liverpool las. week were from the great
cities and manufacturing towns of England
and Germany. Their emigration is The late
result Of the commercial panic. "Thcrc is
little to earn and many to keep" and the
more energetic earncrs are pushing to other
markets with their labor Probably so far
rs it has yet gone the movement is u beneli-
cial one; but it will bc beneficial just in
proportion as it is spontaneous. 1t is nat.
ural movement OF the population which may
be anxiously watched by statesmen. but
should neither be encouraged nor checked
Many merchants and manufacturers are al
ready alarmed by it; and though We see
little in it to cause alarm, nothing which
threatens us with an exodus OF labor, we can
well see that it would be infinitely to the
advantage Of the country to find some means
OF giving these cntcrprising spirits career
ut home.
