OUR DEAD.

Our contemporary, the EHterpri'e,
thus feelingly portrays the awful and
heartrendiug scenes in our midst for
the last thirty hours. We indorsc
every word Of the following
The scene in and around the various
hosting works of the burning mines
during the early part OF the day, was in
dcscribably heartrending. A large number
Of the victims had families residing in Gold
Hill. Wives, mothers and children gathered
around the openings Of the mines, t~earfully
inquiring for their missing relatives, and
lacerating all hearts with their walls Of
anguish as the dreadful truth flashed upon
them. We trust it may not DO our fate to
ever witness another such scene. Once in a
lifetime is more than sufficient.
As for the suffering wives and children Of
the men who have thus persisted, let their
wants be provided for by the ever generous
communities Of Virginia and Gold Hill. We
know nothing Of the circumstances OF these
grief-stricken families, but It Is quite prob
able that some Of them, at least, have been
suddenly deprived Of their means Of support,
and their needs must be looked to. Int fatc
Of the men who have lost their lives BY this
calamity assumes an attitude almost OF mar.
tyrdom. Mining is the leading industry Of
the State, and those who descend bare-armed
into the bowels Of the earth to labor and
advance il, do so with a peril which docs not
attach to any other occupation. These men
seem to have suffered in q common cause,
and to provide for their destitute families
should be deemed = public duty.
