S,TKA GOLD MINES.
Discovery OF Two Rich l.cdgcs fEhrco
Hliles from Sfttku.

From tho san Franciaco Aita, Dec. J..
We are indebted to Mr. Theodore 1Inltern. q
tho following particulars Of tho recent gold dis
coyorios III Sitka, aud for sight of the rocIt
which hns tuInod tho hoads of our Alaslau
neighbors. Tho larger pieco ID of ,yhito quartz
With occasional masses Of sulphurets Of iron, and
very hno streaks OF FREQ gold, but clear~
ly visible to tho naked eye. Tho main le1go,
that ownod by tho AasAa Quartz Mining Com
pauy, WAS discovered last winter by Alr: ualoy,
d minor from Nevada, who had workod in the
Chollar-potoHi and Ophir. ATr. Haley went
covered tlis ledge ut the foot Of rayino. Tho
first specimens were pounded III hand-1nortnr,
mud yielded satisfactory roamlts and then work
WAS prosecuted quietly. Maj. Stewart, Com,
othor residents Of Sitka, formod q company TO
furnish tho means. md q tunnel was run in If
teen feet. the rock atiil giving encouraging ro-
turns. Specimens sent to San Francisco for u.s.
ions were now sent for working tost, aud the
result Is looked for eyaty day,
Having satisfied thomsolyes as to the richnoss
Of the rock, the discoyefcrs now inspected their
property carefully, to ind out how much Of such
ore they could expect to got. The lodge WAS
found to DO six feet in width, and wi4euiug NJ
tho tunnel progressed; this ledge iB distinctly
tracablo to tho top OF tho mountain, 800 foet
high, and inclining back Ho far as to give peil-
etration Of 400 feet by tnnnel to strike areetly
innate that Gt loast 5000 tons Of ore can thus
ba said to be in sight. Having aottled the points
Of richness and quality, the Company will now
eudeayor to got tho necessary capital to work
the minos and become mlionaircs. They hare
rich ore, plenty Of timber, lots Of water, good
climato, aud aecoss,bility-ali they want il the
ready money to put up machinery.
The ledge 6rst spokon of is three miles from
Silver Bay, which Ia twelve miles north Of Sitka.
Another ledge has sinco been discovered only
two mlles from this bay, and ia said to be rIcIter

COLUMBUS, Jan. 10, 1872

COLUMBUS, Jan. 10, 1872.
The work of the session drags. Our
law makers do not seem 10 lake kindly
to the collar. The sessions are short, for
the reason that the calendar is run
through and there is nothing ready. 1
presume by the week after the first ad-
jOurnment the steam will be up and the
wheels OF legislation will run faster.
As yet there can only be n;tice. The
Convention bill has passed the Senate,
and is a Law. So you can get ready to
hold your convention to select your
candidate for the Constitutional Convex
ton, as the election is to be on the first
Monday in April next
Various bills have been introduced to
amend the "Boesel law" for building
railroads by tax on cities, counties and
townships. 1t is found, on attempting
to put the law in practical operation, that
it is radically detective
"Deformed unfinished. sent before its
time
Into this breathing world. scarce half
up;"
and its friends now come mourning over
its defects, and appeal for legislative help
to render it Of some use. Lieut.. Gov.
Lee and Gen. Robinson are herefor that
purpose. They will hardly succeed. The
whole law is a monsirosity wicked,
mischievous, and plainly ~unconstitu-
tional, it ought to be wiped of the stat
ute book.
DR.. Scott has introduced in the House
a bill to create a sort of department Of
construction and commission of public
buildings, who shall decide upon and
supervise the construction of the public
buildings of the State, and to repeal the
clumsy "Jewett law at present gov>
erniBg the letting of contracts and man
ner of deciding on plans for such build
iDgs. He also has a bill to separate the
fund for the erection and support Of the
various benevolent institutions of the
State. 1t will. perhaps, surprise you to
learn that nearly seUeR-tenths Of the gen.
eral revenu fund is raised and expend-
ed for these purposes alone. This bill

how much they pay each on each years

tutions, for which our State is pre.eni-
nent-
A bill is nearly prepared and will be
introduced for the organization and Coy
eminent of Savings Banks, which will
be one of the most important measures
of the session. Some three or four bills
are now pending on that subject. Out
of some of them will be evolved, proba-
bly,, a satisfactory law on that subject.
The weather has been extremely cold,
the thermometer falling 10 degrees be-
low zero.
The usual resolution has been passed
in both houses to adjourn over every
third week from Friday to the following
Tuesday. The first adjournment will be
on the 18th. y. Y.

The Democrats are not the patron
sgints of common schools, judging
from several Southern States. In
Texas they ruled uninterruptedly for
twenty five years, and never built a
half dozen free schools. In 1870 the
Republicans took the reins of power
in 1871 they established common
schools, and now the supe rintendent
writes the National Commissioners OF
Education that he has u.s. 900 chill.
dren enrolled. When these reform
ers'' redeemed Tennessee from the
Z" tyranny" of Republicans they
turned I84, 900 children out of school,
and they are still in ignorance and
idleness while the State house and
school-hOuse keys jingle in the "re'
formest's" pockets. In Kentucky
the niger is a soulless brute in thC
| eye of the Democratic Educational
there is no educational provision fol
the colored people whatever. Geor
gia succumbed TO the "reformistn {
year ago or more and since then the
children of the State, 100000 strung
have plead in vain for schools. WheI
the Democratic Congressman whC
voted against the bill giving certain
proceeds of the public lands to thu
States for the education of their chill
dren, proportionate TO the number o
their illiterates, they blindly boasteC
that tLey had yet to learn wherein
their party had ever opposed educa
ton. Now let them explain thu
whole facts.

Hammond's performance in riding
through the streets of Dubuque
screaming "Come to Jesus" has been
improved upon by a woman made
crazy in the course of the excitement
he has caused there. In the Larimer
House, the Herald Of that place says:
"She stationed herself in the hall
near the head of the stairs. and sud-
denly, in a loud and piercing tone OF
voice, called everybody to repentance,
for the Day Star had come, saints,
sinners and all. She was in her night
dress, and 'See,' says she, the Star of
the East appears the wise men are
coming. Get We ready to meet them.
Believe, believe. See, see; they come,
they come; beautiful in form, clothed
in white, glorious to all. These are
the days when old men see visions,
and young men dream dreams. BE
We prepared. Cry, cry aloud And
cry aloud she did, and no mistake
OF course, all the guests were wrapped
in the profoundest sleep, and, Weakened
suddenly IN this manner, they could
not help but be frightened. There
was the liveliest tumbling out of bee
that had been witnessed for many 6
day. The call was sudden and the
time short, and it did not seem t.
make much difference. Universalists
Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Con.
gregatiOnalists, Methodists, Catholics
and all, were brought to their fee
instantly

Atlantic and Great Western Railroad

Company.
Mention has been made very gen.
orally in the public print of a recent
| change in the administration of the
| Atlantic & Great Western Railroad,
and as will be seen by its advertise.
ment, in another column, 1. d. Bar
| ton, ESQ, is now its General Super
intendent.
1t is not long since the press of
Cincinnati gave room for some very
| favorable comments upon the improv-
ed prospects of this most important
link between the east and the west,
and the concentrations so heartily
given were worthily bestowed. No
line within our knowledge has so
rapidly won the public favor; and
such a result has been attained
/ through a liberal policy in its dealings
with its travelling and shipping
patrons. We are assured that the
work so we'll begun is but the begin.
ming of still better things. Additions
are daily being made to the freight
and passenger equipment OF b line
while the excellence of its track and
the efficiency of its motive depart
ment will not only be maintained
unimpaired, but will be substantially
advanced. In assuming the position,
Mr.. Barton had a difficult place to
fill. His reputation as a capable rail
road officer, and as a gentleman OF
unblemished integrity, had preceded
his coming, but he was personally q
stranger to those who were under him.
We have reason to know that in the
b~riefspace of one month he has concil-
lated the good will and secured the
cheerful corporation of his subordi-
mates, from the highest to the lowest
and this, too, by the kindness of his
disposition, and the readiness with
which he may be approached. We
wish him entire success.-Dayton

One acquainted with the Capitol,
can see many interesting scenes any
time between the hours of a. m. and 8
p. m. of each day while Congress is in
session. Your correspondents attention
vas attracted to several strangers, and
others whose faces were familiar in thai
building in search of the room where
the Credit Mobilier investigation is now
going IN. The importance given to this
investigation by the newspaper press
has created a strong desire to witness it,
and not approaching the fact that it is
held in a room (the House Committee
room on revision of Laws of15x40 feet,
in which only about fifty persons can be
comfortably seated, hundreds ofanxious
''curious-seekers' fill the halls, entirely
ignoring a principle in Geometry that
two objects cannot occupy the same
space at the same time, and press their
claim for admittance. In this connection
it is we'll to observe that while the Police
in the Capitol are faithful and trust
worthy, their knowledge, generally, Of
this building, the business ofthe several
committees and the location of their
rooms, are Of little service to strangers
who are constantly calling upon them
for direction.
The Credit Mobilier McCombs, OF
whom there is much said lately, is a
gentleman about six feet in height, well

taken good care of himself; about fifty
years of age, and appears in conversation

The weather last week was unusually
cold in the northwest. In Minnesota q
number of persons died from exposure.
The sno was so binding that persons
persisted within a few rods of succor, if
they had known in what direction to
go. Three brothers, Charles, John and
Stephen .O'Neil, and Thomas and Mi.
chael Holden, each with two-horse teams,
started for Willmar with wheat, on
Tuesday. They were found on Friday,
about ten miles out. Two of the O'Neils
and one of the Holdens were frozen to
death in the sleigh. The others were
alive, but will scarcely survive. Five
OK teams in the same vicinity were found
frozen to death, and the drivers are sup
posed to have abandoned them and
persisted. a man was frozen to death
by losing his way, while gong from the
depot to the tank house at Herman
Station, on the st. Paul and Pacific rail-
road. A little boy near New Ulm,
undertook to go home, but lest his way
and his body was found eight miles dis
ant. A man was found yesterday near
st. Peter, frozen. A good many other
cases will undoubtedly be heard OF. The
wind blew the snow so that il was i'm
possible to see a foot in advance, and the
storm came 8 suddenly that it caught
persons out and they persisted because
unable to find the way.

What Uncle Sam says TO Spain Con-
earning Cubau Affairs.

Secretary of state Fish, in a letter to
the American Minister to the Court OF
Spain. General Sickles, calls his attention
TO the fact that the Spanish government
mad given repeated assurances of early
reforms affecting Spanish colonies on
this side Of the Atlantic, and prominent
" among the reforms was named the alb
clifton of slavery in Cuba. The Secre-
tary says that the failure of Cuba to fal-
I'LL its pledges on this point, and its ina
bility TO subdue the revolt which has
existed four years, although one hun
dred thousand lives have been lost IN the
vain attempt, is trying to the patience oil
civilized nations. The Spanish govern
meut. partly at the instance Of the Unit
e d States. passed a law providing 1or the
gradual emancipation Of slaves in the
West India Colonies. This law, 30 far
as re State Department is aware, re-
mains unexecuted, and it is feared thai
the recently issued regulations profess
edly for its execution, are wholly iBade-
ouate to any practical result in favor OF
emancipation, if they be not really in
the interest of the STAKEHOLDER and the
continuance of 1.-THE institution ofslsvery.
While the United States fully acknowl-
edge their obligation to the general rule
which requires a nation to abstain from
interference in the domestic concerns OF
others, circumstances warrant partial ex-
ceptions to this rule, to the support OF
which the Secretary enters into an argu-
ment, and says all who countensnee
lukewsrmness or neglect in carrying
emancipation into effect must more or
less be liable TO the charge Of duplleity
or bad faith, . charge which every man
Of honor in high station ought to endesv-
or to avoid. General Sickles is instruct
ed, in firm but respectful terms, to re-
monstrats against the apparent failure oil
Spain to carry into effect the emanelPa-
ton act to which she is committed. Ii
Spain permits her authority to be virtu-
ally and practically dehed in Cuba by
refusal or neglect to carry into effect the
acts of the home government of a hu-
name tendency, it is tantamount to an
acknowledgement Of inability to control
the insurrection in Cubs.

In consequence of the late deep SHOWS
in Massachusetts,. whole bevies of quail
are forced by hunger to enter door and
barnyards in search of food. This is too
great a temptation to resist, and despite
the statutory provisions prohibiting the
killing of these toothsome birds, between
the 18th day of December and the 10Th
day of the ensuing October, the markets
are glutted with unlawfully slaughtered
quail.
