WEST COAST SIGNAL.-Witht the issue
OF February 9TH, the Signal closed its
First Volume and the first year of its ex-
istence. Although the paper was started
in opposition to two old-established and
ably-conducted journals, it has been en-
lnently successful, having a circulation of
72O copies and a subscription list number
ing GIG names. Editorially and typo
graphically, the &gnaI is the peer of any
weekly published on this coast, and the
success it has met with may be attributed
10 the fact that David X. Gordon, Editor
anu proprietor, knows just how to run
newspaper. May the &g,aI live long

THE "SAvAGE STR1KE.-The Vir-
ginia Enterprise, of February 4th, has
the following, regarding the cause of the
late great excitement in mining stocks,
whereby fortunes were made and fortunes
lost in single day " There are all kinds
Of rumors ahoat regarding the nature Of
the late strike in the 1400-foot level Of the
Savage. As no outsider is as yet allowed
in the mine, nothing definite is known in
regard to the extent or richness of the
deposit found. While some assert that
nothing more than bowlder or a small
streak has been found, others declare that
the new ore body is forty feet in width,
and that assays going as high as 800 or
500 are being obtained. The truth prob
ably is, that promising deposit has been
found, the extent and value of which has
not yet been ascertained. Until the value
Of the new strike shall have been deter
mined, it is not likely that outsiders will
be permitted 10 visit and examine it. We
hope it may prove all that the most san
guine "bull " would make it appear"
Another item in the same paper says :
" Yesterday a tremendous stock excite
ment burst upon and overwhelmed the
city. Long before the Board opened in
San Francisco, bulletins announcing the
street quotations were posted in the win
dows Of the brokers, and soon every bro
ker's Office had its crowd. At length the
reports Of the sales in the Board began to
arrive and the crowds increased until the
sidewalks were blockaded. The excite
mont, which began with Savage, soon
extended to other stocks. Speculation
was seen in every eye, and Mammon
charged up and down the street like a
stump-tailed bovine in fly time. While
some faces were wreathcd in smiles, others
were cadaverous and rigid. Strong men
stood before the bulletin boards, shaking
like palsied old men. Powerful emotions
SO dimmed the eyes of some that they
could not distinguish between a "3" and
:" " or "7" and go" In deep dis
gust those who had sold short on Savage
exclaimed : We are too much bulled ~
while those who bought the day previous
were "just as happy as big sun1ower."
The man who knew it all day before yes
teIday, yesterday admitted his imbeciity
and went about inviting his friends to
kick him. Ladies in passing the crowds
about the bulletins, loitercd in gait in the
hope Of catching n stray quotation, and
servant maids, with all their earnings in
stocks, put babies in stoves, and their un-
baked loaves in cribs. Hotel walters
stopped TO figure their gains or losses on
the bills Of fare, forgetful Of the old gen
tlcman who had ordered beef q Ia mOde,

HOME FINANCEs.--The payment of
dividends, says the Commercial HeraId,
by various incorporated companies and
associations, at the commencement of the
year, supplemented by those now being
paid by the savings banks, have added
largely to the amounts in active circula-
ton, and conferred marked ease to the
market. In addition, the large supplies
of money in bank, and the influx of for
eign capital, together with the total alb
sence Of those disturbing causes which
operate so pernicously in Eastern mar
kets, give reasonable assurance of abun-
dant means for all possible requirements
for some time to come. Nor does the

M. " 0. Wdllacs-DEAR SrR--
Since my last communication the
weather has been extremely cold
in these parts, mixed With an oc.
casionai heavy gust of snow,
which makes the weather very
disagreeable indeed; but notwith.
standing the Geld, some of the
young men Of this place have had
= fine time skating on the ice in
Cane Creek, which they seemed to
enjoy very much Mr. Editor, |
have to say TO you, notwilhstand-
ing the peace and quiet we have
generally enjoyed in this place,
that on last Saturday one Of the
most -disgraceful scenes occurred
in our town that ever did since
have known the place. There
were some four or FIVE gentlemen
came in towa-did / say gentle
men? | will tot say that will
say Inen--and, Sir. Editor, some
three of them young men at that,
Oh : how do regret to SEE the
young taking such steps as those
youngsters are, and to think, and
that soon, the government of
church aud State must rest on
their shoulders, and if the young
were all like them | think We
would need reconstruction sure
enough. ! forbear telling any
thing they did or what they said,
or any of their names, as it will
undergo legal investigation in your
town next Monday before Esq.
Fulton and if you will attend you
can learn how lost these young
gents are to decency, and how lit.
tie they respect the fair ladies' of
old Lincoln ; how little they care
tor their fathers and the old men
!, of their country. / hope they
may never be guilty of the like
again, and since this scene took
place, We have seen and heard
nothing but la,c. We will venture
the assertion that we have more
lawyers in the town of Petersburg
and its vicinity than there is in the
town of Fayetteville, and they
thin they know it ALL Now,
after SO much law and confusion,
things seems to be quoting down,
and peace is assuming her gentle
reign again. l will close until
next week. Yours truly,
PHlLLoa.
