THE MINING

From the Phoebe Journal
The mining situation is, as was predicted,
steadily and constantly improving, and all the
mines in Ely District are presenting a fine APP
penrance. The ore producing mines Oh the main
lead are getting nearer a condition for extracting
more ore. and is in a way for perfect develop
ments. Everything has been completed for the
workings in the bottom Of the main shaft Of the
Raymond & Ely, and more levels willbe opened.
The ususi work is going on in the various levels
and the saue amount Of ore is daily extracted
and shipped to the mills at Bullionville. The
strike made i'll the Wine on the lower level Of
the mine looks we'll, and will soon be extensively
opened ont.
The progress on the Alps mine is in full oper.
ation and also the Foral Mill, which was pur-
chased by this company. is constantly engaged
working the ore from the mine. The same
amount of ore is being hoisted from the mine AS
usual aud shows very we'll. The prospects Of
this mine are very fattering. and the company
will this month declare a dividend to the stock
holders.
In the Phoebe mine active operations are being
prosecuted and prospecting is being extensively
carried on in the opening up of the mine. This
company evinces a strong determination to have
the mine tested to it's fullest extent, and it is
hoped their labors will be rewarded for their un-
firing zeal in developing the same. Ten thous-
and dollars was paid out to the employees at the
works yesterday by the company.
Preparations for starting up and working the
American Flag mine has for the past week been
in course of operation, and in a very short time
work in the various apartments f the shaft will
commence. The company's mill is running on
ore from this mine and working custom ores.
At the Antilles a number of men are engaged
in sinking and opening up the mine. with very
cheering indications of soon finding something
good. And many other mines Oh the other side
Of the ridge are being worked by private indi-
viduals. Several tons of ore from the base lodges
in that section have been taken to the furnace at
Shanntie during the week, for the purpose of
testing the quality Of the ore and the feasibility
OF erecting q furnace in this place.
The feeling among our people ana among
mining men is generally hopeful, and much con
tdence is shown among the owners Of mines in
different portions of the county,

considerable comment at the State CAPT.

off about two hundred millions of dollars
in taxable property, and there is talk in
certain quarters of ~endeavoring to enact
an inceme tax to provide for the defci-
ency. 1t is estimated that without a tax
corresponding to the amount received
from mortgage, the State levy next year
will be 80 cents on 800 as against 80
cents the current year.

place upon record this our solemn pro.
test against proceedings by this body
which in any degree recognize or propose
to recognize the legality Of the body
calling itself the House OF Representa-.
tiyes Of South Carolina over which f.
| W. NJ. Mackey claims 10 preside rs
Speaker, which met on the 2Sth inst. and
claimed to organize in the Hall OF Rep.
resentatives.
The Constitution Of South Carolina
makes each House the judge Of the elec.
ton returns and the qualification OF It's
own members. The Supreme Court OF
the State has, by formal judgment, de-
cided that the members from the counties
OF Edgeheld and Laurens who received
the highest number OF votes were entitled
to seats. These members have been re.
fused admission to the hall. and ali mar.
ticipation in the organization, by armed
soldiers Of the United States, who barred
with bayonets the door Of the hall
and acted as judges Of the election re.
turns and the qualification Of It's members.
We have seen armed forces Of the Uni.
ted States overriding the plain declara.
tion OF the Constitution Of the State. We
have witnessed the solemn mockery Of a
corporal Of the guard reviewing andr ever
sing the judgment Of the highest court.
We have seen the spectacle humiliating ia
the last degre to every right minded Am
erican Of the halls Of Legislature, occu-
pied at the hour Of midnight, and, hold
ing them against the ingress Of tho law
making powers, and this at the time OF
the profoundest peace, when not a single
act Of violence furnishes the slightest
pretense for usurpation. We have seen
still more humiliating spectacle, the U. s.
troops placed under the immediate
control and receiving orders from citi-
zen without authority, and partisan Of
party power. We have seen this citizen
assuming absolute control Of the Capital
Of the Commonwealth and admitting
through lines Of armed sentinels Of his
own partisans, on his own edict or writ.
ten pass from one Jones, another citizen
who was selected by these partisans TO
organize the House Of Representatives.
We have seen this body Of partisans thus
admitted, claiming to organize without
quorum, in violation of law, in defiance
OF the Supreme Court and under the pro.
lection Of United States troops: we there.
fore, enter tais, our protest, against any
recognition Of said body, pretending to be |
the House Of Representatives Of the
State OF South Carolina and for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Said body having organized without n
constitutional quorum, there being but
so members present, as shown by its own
Journal. And, whereas, majority OF
the entire representation iS requisite to a
quorum, to-wit, 63 members, as set forth
in the Journals OF the House during the
past eight years and as confirmed by i'm
practice in legislative bodies
in every American State; and we do fur
ther allege, on our own responsibility as
Senators, that said body is still without
a constitutional quorum, and therefore
wanting in the organic character Of the
House Of Representatives OF South Car
olina, and ought not to be recognized as
such.

An Old Wood Cut Resurrected
and Perverted. Z

The Wheeling Register yesterday aston.
ished the world with a symptom Of
enterprise such as no body ever expected
to sec that decrepid concern exhibit. 1t
undertook to illuminate the situation in
South Carolina with = wood cut purport.
ing to be the production Of native genius
and home industry. This wood cut rep.

knees and bound round and round with

her back-her head surmounted by a
fatigue cap-an iron collar, properly pad
locked, around her neck-a distressed
look on her countenance-a chain with
two balls to one OF her feet-a soldier
equipped in heavy marching order
.hruSting his bayoneted musket athwart
her bosom as II TO stop the poor woman
from rising up Notwithstanding her i'm.
pedimentS, and walking of somewhere.
We are sorry to say anything to
detract from the credit Of this i'm.
meme effort OF enterprise on the
part Of our neighbor, but we cannot
stand by and see an old volume OF
Harpers Magazine thus perverted to
Democratic uses without letting the cat
out Of the bag. We are therefore com.
PEELED to announce that the Registers
picture can be found in the March num-
Der Of Harpers Magazine for 1852, and
along with it the explanation that It is
intended to represent, not IN American
soldier or the American Goddess ofubib.

goddess OF some sort.

FIRE RECORD.
A SchoolTlIouse ON Fire-Grent
Presence OF Mind.

DAYTON, November 29!-Just before IL
O'Clock to-day a fire was discovered in
the Fourth district school house OF this
city. It broke forth in two places at
almost the same time. Tho young
scholars had already been diSmissed
and the teachers, retaining perfect pres.
cnce OF mind, called up the classes re-
manning in the building and dismissed
them in the accustomed order. A panic
was prevented, and the engines arriving
soon atterwaad, extinguished the flames.
The fire appears to have taken from
the hot air furnace, by which the build.
ing was heated. This 10 the third aiEai.
lar occurrence. The damage is slight.
