and blood of that party, have severed all

relics of the past, a few old antediluvians,
galvanized corpses, rafting around in this

while they do not number enough to form
respectable body of mourners for the
"lost cause" Among the recent access

the name of ex Governor james L Orr, OF

and distinguished politicians of the South,
who has been the back bone of that party

A REMARKABLE CREvIcE.-The White
Pine Daily News of September 3, has the
following:
At the northern end Of the Bue Hill,
near the Truckee mine, not long since was
discovered a remarkable crevice or natural
shaft in the limestone. 1t was found
while digging for mineral. aud struck ten
or fifteen feet from the surface 1T that
depth an aperture was disclosed in the
rock of sufficient wi tn to admit the en-
trance Of a man, passing through when it
widens to greater proportions. Its depth
is not known, as no one has yet been able,
or boldly enough inclined to attempt its
exploration. Our informant states that he
descended to the depth of near 200 feet,
almost perpendicular, and yet saw no evid-
ence oflts termination. The entire crevice
is lined with stalactites most beautiful, and
which resembles coral more than anything
else We can compare them to-miniature

shape, appear upon e. cry side, tashiOned

THOROUGH BRED SBEEP. -Twenty-nine
thoroughbred rams arrived at Weavervile
this week. the propertyof John Jackson.
They are undoubtedly the finest sheep we
ever saw and cannot be excelled anywhere.
Mr.. jackson. having about tw0thousand

none but the very best. The lot of which
we speak consists Of four Merino. and TWEEN
ty-6ve Catswod bucks Six of the number
are January lambs the largest weighs two
hundred and sixry-four pounds. and the
entire lot will average two hundred pounds.
They cost him forty dollars head. The
buck from which the Merinos are bred. cost
eight hu dred and fifty dollars the Cots

We have been shown by Mr.. jackson a

and for wool. Mr.. Jackson proposes to
supply this market with home-raised mutton,

The Nevada Gazette speaks our sentiments
in the following style: I'VE claim that no
man. worthy Of the name. is or can be a
neutral. upon any subject with which he is
familiar or concerning which he is interested,
unless he is either a fool or hypoerite. An
honest. fearless man always takes sides
according to his convictions. He cannot
help doing so. He is obeying the God given
impulses Of his nature by the course. As
with men. 20 of course with newspapers.
They need not always be partisan. they

ing from the Vallejo Cronicle Of the 9tn inst
About two weeks since, w. Kelihpr, who
owns large ranch about six miles from
Martinez received from the San Joaquin
plains a large flock of sheep; they were
driven into his pasture and for n week
seemed TO thrive WELL Early this week the
man herding hem noticed that they hurdled

The same day they began to die hy hund

an enormous extent. The flock was hastily
driven off the land. but not before five
hundred of them had succumbed to the
plague or poison whichever it was Various
conjectures are aHoat as to the cause of their
sudden death, but nothing definite has yet
been ascertained. A quantity of poisoned
wheat had been strewn over tho ranch two
months ago, for the pury ose of destroying
squirrels, but the question naturally suggests
itself why were not the flock affected before {?
They had been grazing a week. An inves
