Geo. IL. Miller. In a lettor to his
brother. z. B. Miller, County Clerk,
dated TERRA Amarills, New Mexico,
January 81, cncloses the following In
telllgence for publication In the Rec
cord: Another party Of prospectors
has arrived from Phoebe and other
points west OF the Colorado, some OF
whom l know, viz: Ed. Goblin, Ed.
Ducat, Bacon and Simpson. do net
know the others. This party crossed
the Colorado at Lees Forty, on the
10th Of December. There were at lrst
ten men In the party, but four OF the
number separated from the six who
arrived here, aud news has been re-
ceived that the four had arrived ut ft.
Defiance In q most dsplorable con-
dition, their feet, hands and ears being
frozen, and all being destitute OF the
necessaries Of life. Three OF these
were Germans aud one an Englishman.
The party Of ten struck northeast

Ing two wounds, one through the thick
part Of the thigh and tho other through

dead companions on his horse, but BE-
ing wounded, he and tho remaining
three cut their packs from their AMI

their escape. They soon overlook the
other four, and. reunited, they made
the best Of their way to the hnimas,
not daring to return for their dead
companions, on account Of the large
band Of Indians who were ready to
massacre all who fell into their hands.
After this sad affair the party lost no
time, but made all possible haste to get
to Animas, without further mOlestatlon
from the Indians. But OH tho way
three or four had their feet frozen, and
Ducat's feet were so badly frozen that

HATES THE PRESS.

Ben. Butler INDUCED In another
splenetic TRADE against newspapers, In
the House, on Wednesday, and told his
of repeated story OF personal griev.
ancc and the utilization Of his pure
and noble character. 1t Is not surpris-
Ing that Butler hates the press. There
are many other prominent and asplr-
Ing demagogues who are In unison
with him In this onmlty. Tho entire
membership Of the Tweed fraternity 10
New York City, agree with Butler In
this matter. The New York Times Is
the especial object Of their loathlng.
The company Of Christian statesmen,
purchased by Ames Of Credit Mobiller
memsry. and defended by Butler, are
incsnsed against the daily journals who
published their knavery to tho wsrld.
Pomeroy, Harlan, Caldwell, Wood,
Carpenter, Patterson, Casey, Kellogg,
Durcli, Bustced, Nipple, Mitchell,
Kemble. Shepherd, Tweed. Genet, and
afty other prominent WORTHLESS unite
with Butler In %condemnlng free speech
and a FREQ press. The "forty jackass
mud power Of the daily journals OF
this nation, has not been favorable to
tho reputation Of these shining lights
OF craftsmanship. II has fearlessly ex-
posed them, their venallty. their sceun.
drellsm. to the public view. IL has
stripped or the shcsp-skln and showed
tho wolf. IL has pointed out tho lep-
rous scales ON their painted carcasses.
In a word. 1t has well nigh destroyed
the Influence OF Butler aud his lmlta-
tors /; an influence as banefnl to moral
lty as tho deadly Upas tree to human
existence ; an influence corrupting. de-
grading and dangerous to the liberties
Of this country. Newspapers, not
Democratic, not even the Independent
press. but OF his own party, defeated
Ben. Butler last Autumn In his effort
to capture. by sheer brazcn cheek and
Federal patronage, the commonwealth
OF Massachusetts,. They have crippled
and measurably destroyed his influ-
snce. In doing this they have aided to
purify politics and elevate the Admin
lstratlon. Newspapers, with here and
there n %dlsgracciul exception, do not
blackmall or prosecute innocent men.
Their exposures are troublesome only
to the'guilty, and It Is this class who
cry out against them.

HOW TO WIN IN STOCKS.

This Il an Idea which many ambi-
tious people here In Gold Hill, as well
As throughout the rest Of the Pacific
section Of Uncle Sans domlnions have
studied over and practlced at for some
years without establishing any definite
method or conclusion. A certain well
known. shrewd and extensive dealer
aud mine manager comes nearest to
doing so In laying down the following
rule: "Buy stocks when they are
low, aud sell out when they are high"
Very few have tho nerve or the pa
tlence 70 DO this, however. All want
to get rich, or to win by . short
"turn" when they think they see q
chance. Most men get excited when
stocks are high, and buy some looking
for q further rlse, and then II prices
decline, they hold all the firmer, hoping
to got evsn." It requires o nerve
and Judgment to sell out at a loss
than at an advancing profit.
Among the great lights Of the Lon
don financial world, and n whose
writings have exercised a great influ'
encc upon the monetary legislation OF
Parliament says the San Francisco
Alta. was David Ricardo, the English
jew broker, who accumulated an I'm
mense property. He had what he
called his three golden rules In busi-
ness, the observance Of which he al
ways pressed upon his private friends.
These wcre-never 10 refuse an option
when you can &c! It; cut short your
Losses /; let your profits run on. by
cutting short ones losses, Mr.. Ricardo
meant that. when a broker had made a
purchase OF stocks, aud prices were
falling. no ought to resell Immediate
ly. And by letting ones profits run
OIL, no meant that, when a dealer pos
sssssd stock and prices were rising. he
ou:htn not to sell until they had reached
their highest and were beginning to
fall. These rules seem to DO very clear
aud very elementary. Nevertheless,
they arc precisely those which ths ma
jorlty Of dealers cannot make up their
minds to follow. In the first place, Ii
requires n very clear and cool judg-
ment to take proper estimate OF the
condition OF the market, aud, second
ly, few persons have the courage to
meet tho loss In a falling market.
They almost Invariably hold under the
hope OF a reaction aud a rise. There
Is much less difficulty in holding when
prices rise, but there Is usually q Lack
Ing Of judgment Al to the extent Of
the probable rise, and want Of resolu-
ton to takc the profit at tho proper
time.
