COOPER DISTRICT.
The Cooper mining and mines, from what
l saw and learned from parties on the ground,
are in tho Shell Creek range of mountains,
south Of the county line, as seen by the dia-
gram of the White Pine surveyors, and is on
the road from Robinson to Sacramento dis
tricts Cooper has some fine mines n series
of which are called the Blue Soda, which
seem to be well defined, and from the present
workings are no doubt true fissure veins of
great depth, and from twelve to twenty feet i'm
width, and.nre located between limestone on
one side and slate on the other. ! think the
quartz Is of rather low grade, but milling ore is
found in great abundance There is n GOOD

N Whatever may be said
about law and justice, one thing
is obvious-viz that popular feel
ing will still justify the man, in
this country, who Stays the be-
trayer Of his wife or daughter.
Captain W. Hayward, who killed
Lindsey in Virginia not long ago,
for running his daughter, has been
released from custody. 1t is not
right to permit any violations of
law to go UNPUBLISHED. One out.
rage cannot justify another, and
no atrocity, however great, can ex-
cuse the summary punishment of
the perpetrater by the friends of
the injured one. In country of
laws the ''majesty Of the law" must
be sustained in order to make the
law respected. Still, public feel
ing will not reason O this fashion
in moment of excitement. Break
ing up the fam y relations, bring
ing disgrace upon the family
name, and so on, are offenses for
which the law, unfortunately, can
afford no adequate recompense to
the party aggrieved. Hence it is
that the popular emotion rather
rejoices in the extra;judicial pun
ishment of the offender, and the
moral verdict is: "Served him
right" when modern Don Juan
meets with a violent death at the
hands of a wronged woman, an
outraged husband, an agonised
parent, &c.

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis
are not the only ones to be dreaded. Can
ker or dry rot does not blast tree as sud
denly as stroke Of lightning, but unless
arrested, it destroys it as certainly and in
like manner chronic debility, although it
does not kill with the swiftness of yellow
fever, is as sure to sap the springs of life
eventually as any acute disease, if not
checked by invigOrating medication. There
is something inexpressibly touching in the
spectacle of premature decay. Languor,
pallor, emaciation, depression of spirits,
and distaste for exertion, are its ordinary
symptoms, and they should be promptly
met by tonic treatment. The best invigor-
ant and exhilaraht that can be administered
in case Of this kind is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. The stimulating principle of the
preparation rouses the dormant energies of
the system, and the strengthening and regu-
lating properties give q permanent and
healthful impulse 10 the vital forces thus
brought into play. The failing appetite is
re- awakened, the process of digestion and
assimilation are quickened, the quality of
of the blood is improved, the secretions be-
come more natural, and every organ that
ontributes to the nourishment of the body
unde rgoes salutary change. By these
means the repair of the Physical structure
is effected and its health and vigor restored
In no class of diseases has the benefcentop-
Grafton of the Bitters been more marked and
striking than in those characterized by gen.
eral debility and nervous prostration. La
dies affected with these ailments find in thi:
most wholesome of all tonics and correc.
tives the safest and surest means of To lief.

Col. James Ell. Holman,
Candidate for Attor-
ney-General.

From the fact that the people
of Warren have but a slight ac-
quaintance with Col. Holman, we
deem it proper that a brief state
ment of his antecedents should be
made, and the people LETT to Sc
lect their choice from the material
before them-Col. Cliff and Col.
Holman being the only aspirants
Col. Holman was raised and
now resides in Lincoln county,
and is from one of her best fami-
lies. After devoting some OF his
time in reading law, he was ap-
pointed by President Pierce a
Lieutenant in the United States
army, which position he held un-
I'll the commencement of the late
war. Devotion to principle, and
loving his kindred and native land
better than all else, he resigned
his position in the United States
army, and cast his lot with the
Southern people. From the be-
ginning to the close of the late
unhappy contest he stood bravely
and honorably in the front rank
of the Southern armies, and stands
today before the people as a sol
der, gentleman, citizen and law
yer, without stain or reproach.-
As a commander, he protected
from lawless violence the persons
and property of Union men and
rebels-of infancy and old age a.
like. His character needs no
panegyric at our hands, because
the breath of suspicion does not
assail it.
Col. Holman is not in aff1uent
circumstances, and OF course the
position which he seeks would be
acceptable to him. He is peace
BILE d-competent, and his being
a rebel is no longer a barrier to
his promotion, if the people re-
quire his services.-Meao Era.
