EW TIE LAND OF GoLp-We clip
the following letter from Dubuque,
Iowa, paper The writer, Mr.. A. b.
Chaplne, who was admitted to the Bar,
at Dubuque, short time since, has I'M
furled his Single at Cheyenne, Wyo-
ming, and in giving absorption OF the
LAND of Cold" says:
DEAR SIR The Black Hills excite
ment continues to increase, aud l will
trespass upon your time by giving few
notes. Gustav City, the principal place
Of the Black Hills country, is situated
northeast of Cheyenne go miles. The
attitude Of said city being 5000 feet
above the Sta level, and being l.6OO
feet lower than Greeley, Colorado, a
place where they grow large crops of
wheat, oats and vegetables. Reports
which | receive from reliable sources, 90
to show that the grass i'll the Black
Hills section is three inches high. l
have seen large quantities Of gold from
that section, and a great many persons
who give as my former remarks lndi-
cate, glowing accounts of the country,
both as mining and agricultural re-
gion. There are large parties leaving
here every day, aud in every case par
ties who have come out from the mines
have done so solely for the purpose OF
taking in fresh supplies. Reports say
that there are at least 1000 men in the
Hills at this time. Cheyenne is the
principal Quitting point for the Hills {;
everything necessary can be bought here
nearly as cheap as in Omaha, freight adj
ded. This is the iiveliest place | have
been in since the days Of 1867, in Den
yer, Colorado. The only difference is
they don't do quite as uu9h killing as
they did in Denver. There are three
theaters in the city, all managed on the
grandcst scale. General w. w. Smith.
former old Dubuquer is here, looking
well. In conclusion, regarding the
Hills and the mining interests in Wyo-
ming and Colorado, l can say unhesita-
tngly that the half is not told It looks
like old times on the plains to me, to
see the trains of wagons; horses, mules
and oxen starting along in solid line,
driven by the most robust men | ever
saw. The Union Pacific trains are run
ming, heavily laden both with freight
and passengers.
| will give you further facts in my
next, provided this little "dab" is duly
appreciated. A. Is. CHAPLINE.

D4- SENATOR DAVIS ON THE FINAN-
CEs.-Hon. Henry q. Davis, our wor-
thy and able representative in the Uni
ted States Senate, from this State, has
written the following letter to Hon.
Daniel 3. Lucas, OF this county, in
which he expresses himself earnestly in
favor of a repeal of the resumption act
lie says
My DEAR SIR: Yours ofthe 21st Of
February received this p. NJ, and re-
terring to that clause which speaks of
the repeal of the Sherman Resumption
Act" | would say, that you and l are
in perfect accord in relation to the ne
cossity for its repeal. You will remem-
Der that l opposed its passage, voting
with Judge Thurman and many other
Democrats against it. l have advoca-
ted its repeal ever since it became
law, believing it to be both impoli;ic
and uuwise legislation, and shall vote
for its repeal whenever opportunity Of
fers. | hope, however, that we may
reach specie basis within reasonable
time, but believe it ought and will come
by the growth and development of the
business interests Of the country rather
than through forced legislation, which |
fear would increase rather than decrease
the present financial and commercial
distress.
With many thanks for yonr uniform
kindness, am, with assurances Of great
respect, Very truly yours, &c,
III. O.. DAVIS.

In memory Of JOSEPH i. HAASE,
youngest son of Mary and Frederick
lIaase, Of Martinsburg, who departed
this life, February 10th, 1876, aged =
years, 0 months aud 4 days.
You need rot dig it very wide,
Nor dig it very deep,
The little grave in which to hide,
My Josie's gone to sleep.
But dig it where the sun will shine
Upon it all the day,
And birds and blossoms all combined,
To drive the gloom away.
Choose some fair spot where in spring,
The grass will soonest grow,
And where the robins first sing,
And daisy blossoms blow.
And take some violets from the brook,
And plant them at his head;
His eyes had the dewy look,
Our Josie now is dead.
How slow the days will come AID go,
Now Josie's gone away,
But God will love him best know,
Although | weep to-day.
Dear brother Charlie, come,
TO join the seraph's band,
| leave Papa and Mamma,
To dwell with you in that happy land.

DYING FOR QUE COUNTRY.

In times of war we hear much SAID
alo.,t the duty aud glory of dying Tor
onr country. Orators and others who
are careful 10 keep their precious selves
out of the bloody fray, will harangus
audiences by the hour on the nobleness
aud reward of o,herpeople laying down
their lives 10 save their bleeding coun-
try. So mcritorious is this sacrifice
considered by some, that they are ready
TO promise eternal happiness i'll heaven
10 those who make it, whatever may be
their characters or other deeds while
here ON earth.
But the religion which prepares men
for heaven is not manifested by inbru-
inc orr hands in the blood OF others
and the act of rushing into the caRnon's
mouth will rot atone tor other SINS
which have committed through a lite
time.
Dying for ones country generally
means, when stripped of It's sophisiry'
DYING for those who wish to govern
the country. 1t is dying for kings and
mobiles aud other great men who quarrel
among themselves and then-too selfish
to do their own fighting, mean!y call
on their subjects to do ii tor them,
And when thousands or hundreds OF
thousands of these subjects have "bliten
the dust" how soon they are forgotten
and left to molder in unremembered
graves, while their poor families and
friend. are suffering for the want OF
their car. and support.
What has been the gain of dying Tor
the countries during the many centuries
whose history has been written In
blood? In numerous cases where men
have died for their country, their coun-
,rv has died with them. This was the
ease with sncicnt Greece and Rome,
and has been also with many modern
nations They have reSorted 10 the
sword 20 avenge some famcied insult or
secure some unlawful end, and might
or ones have paid them in the coin OF
,hei, own choosing and blotted them
from the map Of the continent.
How much more wise and noble to
live for ones country instead OF dying
for it. When dead there is an end to
all efforts to promote The welfare OF
our friends and neigh6orS. But While
we live we may daily perform deeds
and exert an influence that shall bless,
not only our friends and our country,
but the world.
Let then this false maxim, that 1t Is
our duty TO dieifor cur country, be re-
located to oblivion along with that
equally false one, that the way 10 pre-
serve peace is to prepare for war,
Both had their origin in times darker
Than Our own and are unworthy to be
cherished or believed by enlightened
people.
