| Publisher.
1t is hardly fair to cri,icise q work Of
which only tbs advance sheets have ye,
made their appearance; and for this
reason We shall merely allude to some
of the circumstances under which we
have come in possession Of q contemA
plated venture of the youthful poet
whose name appears above and whose
book is not yet. fairly, the public's
property. The following letter will e1-
plain itself:
VIRGINIA CITY, July 30, 1870.
Ny DEAR MIGHELs: l again write you
concerning the forthcoming book of poems.
Joe and l are somewhat in doubt about its
reception By the public; and we have con-
cluded to experiment little before placing it
within reach of the critical world. Being
moved BY these considerations have taken
the liberty of using your name in connection
with one of my longest poems; and it will
appear in to-morrow's (Sunday's) Enterprise,
accompanied by some playful editorial re-
marks of my own, which, trusting to your
good nature, make bold to believe you will
take in good part.
Old boy your shoulders are broad; and
you don't care = d-n about your reputation
as poet aud ifthe verses are a failure you
can afford to have it believed that you wrote
them; while, on the other hand, if they are
good, you ere at liberty to announce the name
Of their real author.
Yours fraternally,
RM. DAeeErr.
P.S. When the books are out will send
you copy. They vii! be bound in gold and
green. X. NJ. ID.
As promised, the experimental publi-
cation came out in Sundays En-
accompanied, as Brother
Daegets promises, by "some play
full editorial remarks The poem
is quite a creditable performance, and
one of which Mr.. Daggest need not be
ashamed to own the paternity. From
the opinions Of those whom We have let
into this bashful poets secret, We are
confident that the forthcoming work will
be hailed with eager deligh. by the
public.
In giving publicity to Mr.. Daggest's
letter we have endeavored to do justice

ARGSNrIFERous ORES OF THE TRCcKEE
DIsrkICr.-N0w that there is SO much
interest taken in mines of argentiferOus
galens, We wonder that parties owning
interests in the various mines of the
Truckee District, down Truckee River
toward Pyramid Lake, do not resume
work on their claims. In tue district
are a number Of large and we'll defined
leads of argentiferoas esiena, and upon
n majority of these shafts were sunk aud
tunnels iun, some five years since, de-
velopioR large bodies Of ore. asssying
well in silver-thst in some, leads yield
.,og from $3.50 to $500 per ton. Al
though there are no facilities for redue-
ing the ores in the district, they could
be shipped TO California or the East at
no great expense, AS the miners are in
close proximity 10 the Central Pacific
Railroad. All the leads Of the district
are probably jumpable now, aud If the
old elaimanis do nos take the accessory
steps to make govd their first titles,
.shens 10 noshiog. TO preseat outsiders
from relocating aud. working any Of the
leads they may take . fasey so.-Esse..

THE FARRAGUT funeral in New York to-
day will be att ended with the usual MILITARY
and civic display for which that city is famous
and at an immense cost to the taxpayers
There will be the usual junketings for the
officia. rings at the city's expense, and we
shall get full reports in the newspapers of the
magnificent donors paid to the remains of the
great commander. But there is an amusing
bit of history connected with the affair which
shows how quick New York officials are to
take advantage of anything that shall offer a
pretext for municipal display. The Loyal
Legion took the initiative measures for a
proper funeral and after the general arrange
ments had been decided upon an invitation
was sent to the city government to unite with
them on the occasion. Mayor hall took no
notice of the invitation, but two days after
sent communication to the Board of Alder
proposing public obsequies, and the necessary
committees were at once raised and polite
invitation sent to the Loyal Legion to par
ticpate The wind was thps taken out OF
the sails of the Admhuf>s old comrads; but
thew made the best of it and gracefully ac-
cepted a place in the line.

Chamberlaln's prominent friends as men who
had received fayors at his hands, and also of
the same gentleman's efforts to raise money
for his newspaper organs. Being pressed for
names, we suggested that of the editor Of the
Advertiser, because Gov. Chamberlain had So
llcited funds for his paper, as we learned from
most respectable gentlemen to aohom ne APP
piled. The Advertiser declares that we want
to say" that it is Subsidized" but dare not for
fear of the law. Now for the express purpose
of allowing the editor to bring libel suit, il
he wants to, and as an everlasting monument
to our generosity, we will say and so hereby
say that it is subsidized. II the editor does
not win his suit he will at least learn what
Subsidized" means, though the knowledge
may cost him dear. As for his silly and men.
dacious talk about being threatened by the
money power of the PRESS it is only part
ofthe martyr role he is playing. and as to his
own character to which he pays such glow
ing tribute we shall not regard it as spotess
until he learns to tell the truth and make fair
quotations.

connect Portland by rail with the Great Lake
Basin at the important city Of Oswego, the
principal shipping port of Lake Ontario. If
the Portland & Rochester is made use of as far
as Buxton Centre, is miles, it will leave but
268 miles to be provided, to complete the line
through. The entire line had then been sur-
veyed with the exception of the portion across
New York, and this was undertaken in two
sections. one from Fort Ann to Piseco Lake,
