while men that were with him failed to
find any of the precious metal by dill

its existence. Extracts from letters re-
ceived by wives and friends from some of
the party remaining in the Hills, state
that prospecting to any extent had not
been carried on up to the time of Cor
don and Witeher's departure, owing to
frost and snow, yet they thought the in
dications good, and were anxiously
awaiting spring, that they might begin
operations. They would not advise their

of Indians and troops, would be rash in
the extreme, even if there is gold there,
which will soon be known. There will
then be plenty OF time and room for all

WE have received a letter from. q
Massachusetts gentleman, who is interes-
ted in the subject of fish culture, and a
whole-souled angler, from which we
take the following extracts:
''Your article on Black Bass VS.. Pick
erel is in the right direction. Pickerel
are but sorry fish at best. When it
comes to fishing for them through the
ice it is just little better than setting
with stove between your legs. You
get the air about you, but as for the
sport of it fail to see where it comes
in. | would ::as soon pull wet rag
through hole in the ice as pickerel,
or any other fish. They will do for fat
fishermen, and | wish they would con-
fine themselves TO the pickerel nuisance,
but they do not We have few of the
butchers with us, who as soon as the
law was off, made daily excursions to
reservoir The first day they took,
through the ice, half bushel of half
fed, worse favored, ,slab-sided, ice bound
trout. Almost every day since it has
been repeated, and when the ice is gone
there will be no trout left"
Our attention has been called to a
statement that in this vicinity the first
trout of the season have been taken. All
sportemen know that the close season
for trout has not yet expired. If any
trout have been taken hereabouts, we
conclude they must have been taken by
a fat fisherman. No angler will catch
trout cut of season.

The stand winch Governor Hartranft
has taken seems to have impressed the
strikers With the idea that it is impos
sible for them to gain what they wish
by intimidation or violence. AT Scran-
ton the men are anxious TO continue at
work, and will do 50 unless some extra
ordinary pressure is brought to bear
upon them. Sixtyfive thousand miners
have been idle nearly all winter, and
large numbers of them have organized
into formidable bands, armed and equip
ped after the most approved style OF
marauders, for the purpose of keeping
| those who are anxious to work IN en-
forced illeness. There has been a most
| deplorable condition of affairs. During
the last four months the strikers have
suffered a loss in wages of more thar
twelve million dollars. They have
acted with insane folly. At Hazletor
they have stopped the pumps, the sui
cidal policy of which may be readily
understood when the fact is stated that
/ If compromise should be immediatel,
effected, il will take from four to fiv'
months 10 pump those mines dry which
have been flooded, until which. time NJ

necessarily remain idle. A regiment o

/ patched to other points where troubt'

tions are being carried out as speedily a
possible, and it is likely that the reigl

Pinchback and senator West are trying

cans in Congress, Is not adopted he will
pack up his trunk and leave the State.
We hope that he win be as good as his

UNDER the administration of Post
master General Jewell, the mode of
operation by which mail contracts have
for a long time been obtained through
fraudulent methods, has been brought to
light. 1t appears that prominent con-
tractors have bfibed certain clerks to
tamper with the bids, and thus secure
the success of their employers, Mr..
Jewell has discharged the dishonest
clerks. A Mr.. Kinds, who had just
