The Elk Run GAzErTE.-There lsa Jois
wag in Virginia who has exeelled all COM
petitors in successful hoa1es of all kinds, and
he is editor of the mythical "E2k Run Ca
zette." He has established conspiracy
against press and public with some Pied
mont editor, and thus has played of some
capital hoaxes with admirable effect. HIS
last is his " Modoc camp" in Culpeper, ten
anted by IA set of savages equal to the Mo-
docs. Their brutal deeds were terrlhc ana
their impudence unparalleled. They had
lava-bed., and sent forth orders for supplies.
JAxIsoy, the captain, orders his friend IN
town to send quarter of lamb, Capers sauce,
brandy. and crackers and cheese, and pate
de fol cras, &C., &c. They had killed and
wounded and rioted in an unprecedented
manner, and still held their ground, strange
to say, in the very heart OF one of the most
peaceful and prosperous people in the
world.

was still suffering from the bad morality

If he were in Jail once, the reporters coulu

TIE HEALTH OF RlcuMoED.-Thc reports
of the Board of Health tell exactly how
MANY deaths there are in Richmond every
week, and OF what diseases. There has not
been single case of cholera here rs yet.
In fact, the number of the deaths last week
was much less than the number for the week
before, and yet at this season there should
naturally be an increase of mortality. We
deem it proper and even necessary to make
this explanation because of statement first
published in the Lynchburg Nens, and re-
produced in the Petersburg appeal, which
statement was that the cholera had made its
appearapce in Richmond. We ask our con-
tcmperaries not to publish such statements
until they are justified by the reports of our
Board of Health, which is one of the most
reliable and vigiant in the Union. They
and the whole public may rest assured that
this Board will never fail to report case
of cholera or any other disease. During
the prevalence of tue smallpox here last
winter they regularly reported every case Of
that disease.

GEORGE L. PUGu (Democrat), of Ohio, for
mcrly United States senator from that State.
has declared his adhesion to the Allen County
platform, which assumes that the political
evils and corruptions of the land come of
too strict adherence to party lines in cleo
tons of public officers. Mr.. PUGH may be
regarded as man of weight in the Buckeye
State if any man of ante-war political lame
eXerts any great influence in these days.

a Still Greater Wonder.

The tunnel on the present finished Pacific
railroad under the main ridge of the Rocky
Mountains has been begun. 1t enters The
mountain near Black Hawk and energies IN
Middle Participates we know nothing
about. But it is sufficient to say that the
tunnel will be twelve miles long-nearly
twice the length of the Mont Gems tuhhe',
between France and Italy, under the Alps
which i little over seven miles long, and
i, the longest tunnel in the world. The OBJ
lect of the Rocky Mountain tunnel Is to
avoid the grades and frosts OF the moun-
tain. and to reap vast mining profits that
are hoped for, and in which there is great
faith entertained by the " Tunnel Company "
which undertakes the work.
The preliminary operations are begun.
The side of the mountain has been graded
dawn for the entrance TO the tunnel, and "A
f,ume has been built, 800 feet long. from
this point to the nearest water-course. BY
this a fall of twenty-five feet has been OBJ
famed for stream Of water. which IS made
the tunnel, and the waste water will supply
the.workmen and their families. 1t is in
tended to direct the tunnel 20 as to strike
some valuable minerals, whose existence is
already ascertained. 1t is calculated that
with the damond-drll and other improve
ments in tunnelling the great work will be
done in FOUR or five years. The Mont Gents
tunnel took fourteen.

WALLACK'S THEATRE.

The new piece, ''Dust and DaEonds," which
was produced last evening at Wallack's Theatres
is good specimen Of very bad kind OF plays. 1t
is not pleasant to know that the audience received
IL kindly last night. Mr.. Charles Gayler, the
author, has been credited with some power
as constructing dramatist "Dust and Dia-
monds, should Jake from even the faint praise
that has hitherto been given him. The
presence in the play OF all the characters that have
done duty for years in novels and on the stage
shows how little effort he has made for novelty In
one direction. He has taken what dramatic Things
were at hand and made them into play.
His straining has been for new ana startling
dramatic situations. and has ended only In the
production OF sensational and sometimes ridicu-
lous results. II Is pleasant TO nave iather ana
child reunited and clasped in each others arms; IL
Is good In several WAYS TO have the evil persons
depicted as oerthrown by the failure OF their own
strategy; and glow comes into the heart OF every
proper person when the benecent effects OF unself-
ish love and care are But these are not
new thing s in dramatic literature, and Mr.. Gayer
lessons them as truths by unskllluliy expressing
them in 'Dust and Diamonds" The play was writ
ten only Tor the purpose OF giving Mt,
Shiel Barry an opportunity to make character
more "Moony Nick" than the authors creation
unless with Mr. Barry giving the part life co nd
hardly be conceived. The other parts were per-
formed as well - tRsI, deserve to be.

Fire In the Mincs-Several Lives Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 90, 1873.
At Gold Hill. New, at three O'Clock this morning
a fire broke out In the blacksmith shop belonging
TO the Belcher Mining Company, situated 1900 feet
below the level, In the Yellow Jacket mine, short
distance north OF the Jackson shaft. The timbers
being very dry the fire spread rapidly, and very
soon filed the Yellow Jacket, Crown Point and
Belcher mines with gas and smoke. About a
quarter past three O'Clock an explosion occurred
which put sout the lights in all three mines.
The workmen at this time were hurryng
from the Crown Point and Belcher shafts,
and all escaped except SIX, whose bodies have
since been recovered. Communication between
the Imperial on the north and the Crown Point on
the south has been cut on There Is no danger OF
the IRE spreading, IS 1t Is confined to place
where there Is but little timber and must soon die
out. Fremsn are on the ground, but their SER
vices cannot be brought into requsitOn. Work
viii be commenced probably in the Belcher and
Crown Point mines tomorrow, as they have sus-
tanned but little damage. The following were
killed and their bodies recovered Lewis LOsalla
j. b. Waters, w. BrOadmater, Tom Niles, j.
Cusick George B. Nudd. number OF others are
suffering from burns and inhaliDg OF gas.
rumor IS current that others Of the wOrkmen have
persisted, and the people are greatly excited. The
miners insist that there shall be no more black
smith shops In mines.
