Cheap transportation by Whatever route

A ruthless rebellion rolled upon US a
great debt which burdens our people,
though they are steadily and bravely
melting it away. Show Us how to trans
port cheaply the growth of the West
into the port of New York and our debt
vanishes like the shadow of passing
hour. Cheap transit is indeed the great
material question
The very air is heavy with the hint
upon which the next Congress
should act with promptness and de-
cision-the widening and cheapening
of all public means of intercomnu-
nication. The railroad question
must be met manfully and candidly;
the postal teles raph question must
be taken up and disposed of; and if
it be possible for Congress to give
any aid in helping the farmers of the
West to reach tide-water with their
goods no e1ertions should be spared
to do SO. We have limited at the
great, moving questions Of the hour.
The Republican party must meet
them and deal with them with an eye
single to the wishes, hopes and in
terests of the people or suffer them
to fall into other and less worthy
hands. If these matters meet with
an erroneous manner of treatment it
will be for no better reason than
that they who should have read and
rightly interpreted the lessons of the
times have fallen into blindness and
the ways of false and marrowless
conservatism.

A PROMISING NINE.

1t is gratifying to feel assured, from
time to time, that the great interest upon
which the business prospects of Western
Nevada almost wholly depend-the sue
cessful and continuous working of the
Comstock Ledge-is sustaining itself
and giving promise Of future profits.
High hopes are entertained of the new
developing levels Of the Consolidated
Virginia and contiguous mines; and the
indications as herewith quoted from the
Enterprise are full of encouragement.
Says that paper in its issue of yesterday
The prospects of the Consolidated
Virginia Company were never more
| tiattering than at the present time and
the indications are that it will soon take
its place as one of the leading mines on
the Comstock. There now remain but
the connection between the drift run
ming north from the Gould and Curry
and that running south from the bottom
of their main shaft. The drift running
north has now reached point where it
is passing directly through a body of
paying ore-not only paying, but very
rich ore. This ore is now being deposit
ted on the Gould and Curry dump. Mr.
Fair says it will mill $50 per ton, and
this without any asserting, it being
brought out and deposited on the dump
Just as it is taken from the of face the
drift. By selecting, ore running as high
as $50 can be obtained from the deposit
through which they are now drifting.
As they are drifting both ways upon it
the block Of ground remaining to be cut
through before the connection is made
will very shortly be removed. When
this is done there will be fine circula-
ton of air through the mine and the
work of breasting out and running side
cuts and drifts may be carried ON in
comfort. Now the end of the drift is in
tensely hot and nothing is thought of
but the completion of the connection.
Once the work of opening out upon the
several bodies of ore cut through in drift
ing shall have been commenced we shall
doubtless hear of some wonderful deyel-
opments. The water in the mine has
now almost dried up and 10 more is
likely to be encountered until the main
shaft shall have been sunk to some dis
lance below the present level. The
pumping machinery, however, the most
complete and powerful on the lead, is
now almost in working order. All the
pump hobs and all the pump stations,
except one bob pit, are now completed.
in the main shaft number of men are
now employed at opening out the third
compartment. Heretofore, from the 700
foot to the 1200-foot station or level,
there have been but two compartments
of the shaft opened. Now they are at
work at raising on the the third, men be-
ing employed at three different points.
The reason of this third compartment
not being carried down at first was that
the company were anxious to reach the
proper depth as soon as possible and
begin drifting to meet the drift from the
Gould and Curry and thus, as speedily
as possible. secure the circulation of pure
air SO much needed.

ADDRESS to the PEOPLE Of LOUISIANA

The Fusion legislature selected a
committee, headed by Gov. McEnery,
to prepare an address to the people Of
the State. The address has been pub
iished, but is too lengthy for our col
umns. Omitting the recapitulation OF
what has been done at Washington
and in Louisiana, and that portion of
the address devoted to defense, we copy
the concluding portion containing the
recommendations of the Committee:
We have no other recourse against
such calamity, and nomeans Of re-estab-
fishing our rights as Il people and our
status as . republican State, but by a
firm and unyielding adherence to the
lawful Government of the State. We
therefore urge our llOW-citizens to give
us their jealous support and encourage
ment in our cndeavors to support and
put in operation this Government, not
by violent resistance to the authority of
the United States, but by a firm and
united opposition to any and every act
of the tisurping Government of Kellogg
and his confeelcrateS.
In view Of the great disasters Of our
State, resulting from political troubles,
VIC have been disposed to make large
| concessions and compromises to secure
peace and good government to LOUISE
ana, but all propositions of that charac-
ter have been htughtily rejected by
the u5urpeTs. Embroidered by the
countcnancc and support cxtcntlcd to
them by the Federal Executive, moth
ing then is left to tho free :,n!l honest
citizens ofthis State who elected us and
associates, but to rally with renewed
carncstncss and devotion to the defense
and support Of tho Hc jit,r and lawful
government. With their approval
and support VIC have an abiding conf
dcncc in the eventual triumph OF our
cause and the recognition by just and
honest national administration of the
equal rights of Louisiana, as one of the
glorious Union of this great Republic
and Confcdcracy.
: DishOnor, the rcprOAcli Of the people,
: and reimbursement must attach to all
who, having once assumed the position
so clearly pointed out as that of duty
and manhond, shall abandon the same
. or shirl> from any of its responsibilities
, and obligations.

icines, send us blank con tract wherein
we are asked to insert their advertise
ment of five inches for six months and
editorial notices ofthe same, changeable
weekly, for the sum OF $50, payable
upon fulfilment of the contract.
The tigues fixed as price for this
wordsworth at least $5O-is not the
only item in J. II. Zeilin x Cos con-
tract to which we demur. We especi-
ally resent as an indignity to ourself,

included in the contract, that "nothing
must be published which may be calc,-
lytez to injure the business Of J. II. lei
lin & Co., OR by mentioning the same
in censure, but tcW exert ourselves to
protect and promote their interest"
We simply reply to this dishonorable
proposition, that no firm doing legi-
innate business would ask a publisher
to sell himself in this way, and further,
that any publisher agreeing, or who
has agreed, to such terms, is absolutely
unfit and unworthy to conduct Il pub
