HILLS BRIGADE,
BIZ REV. LEANDER 8. CoAN.

"Comrade, Pve been mad to-day,
Nigh mad enough to swear,
Thinkin' about the war, and the South,
And all that we suffered therej
Those four long years, the dead we LEFT,
And those who came home to die,
OF what we fought and hoped for
Mad, with good reason why,
~ can't forget they were rebels;-
That this was their General Hill
We have heard their yells before;
1t seems can hear them still.
To think of that yell in Congress
Well, let us move back the hands,
Hell boas ting of Fathers house, while
No thanks to him it standsi
Eyes, lifted his hand agin it,
And sot 1t well on fire,
And knocked out the underpinnin'.
Or, at least, twas his desire.
And when Father caught and cuffed him,
Lettin' up with half enough
To come back so crank and sassy,
Is a usin' the old man rough.
"Then there that wilkes Booth Hambleton
Doughfaces crawlln' back,
To obey their old time masters,
And hear the slave-whip crack.
Centennial3 Well, Pm for 1t,
And peace, and goodwill, and such;
But it seems they're asking of us,
just leetle too much.
"There's Gettysburg and Antietam,
The horrid Wilderness, too;
Fort Pillow, Macon and Andersonvillc,
With Wirtz and his wicked crew.
And we've got to knuckle at lasti
To swallow our shame and chagrIn,
Confess we were wrong and are sorry,
That loyalty was a sini
IF coming back they'd been decent,
Hadn't sneered over Lincoln's grave:
Had left of braggin' of treason,
And the cause they couldn't save;
I'd have swallowed all resentment,
In spite of this wooden leg;
And as fur goin' agin em
Wouldn't have moved peg.
81 was ready to bury the hatchet,
To forgive and try to forget;
But beggin' Jef Davis pardon,
Is rather the wust thing yeti
The centennial splurge of oblivion
Was good so fur as 1t vent
To bottle well up our anger
But to give to their venom veat."
The Corporal's Northern blood was up.
AS he muttered and hobbled away,
From the look and tone he carried,
Ileckon it wasn't to pray.
At every step his wooden stump
Came down with vicious vim;
And it is my calm opinion,
They get no help from him.
He sees an insolent menace,
In the venom of Hills TRADE,
The germ ofanother secession,
The stuff Of which rebels are made.
But you can depend upon it,
Whether with ballot or blade,
Enough upon call will rally,
To wipe out Hills Brigade.

LETTER FROM PLANET CITY.

Friend Berry;
 1 again take my pen in hand to give you few items about Moha- we county. 1 have been away and just returned, and as a matter of taste, had to pay a visit to the celebrated McCracken Mine and was much surprised to see the amount of ore out on the dump l expected to see a good mine, but was not prepared to see the amount I saw. The Company are shipping ore from the Me- Cracken mine to Greenwood, ', where the "Senator Consolidated Mining Company" have purchas- cd a fine ten-stamp mill, and are making all possible haste to com. plete and get it in working order. They want to mill ore as soon as possible. They made very fine run at the smelting works of Col David BueI; they run out about sixty-one bars of bullion, when they had to shut down on account of the lining Ofthe furnace giving away; it was not fire proof and could not stand the enormous heat that is required to smelt the ore. MT. M :Nevin ordered the old furnace torn down and new one to be erected in its place, ca pable of smelling forty tons per day. That looks something like business at last. The furnace will be completed and ready to run in about six weeks. The Senator Consolidated Mining Company has shipped about sixteen tons of silver ore by the Colorado Steam Navigation Co. They can get re turns from San Francisco before BuePs furnace is erected.
 The parties owing the Centen- nial mine have started to work and to open their mines. They intend to build @ furnace and smelt their ore. Mining experts tell me that it is as rich as the McCracken mine. It crOpps out above the surface and you can trace it for miles. It is about four miles from the Williams Fork river. There is wood and grass in abundance around the mine.
 The Johnson mine is another very rich ledge owned by John son and Wright. They are wait ing for Col. Buel's furnace. They intend to have some of their ore smelted by him. The general impression around this locality is that all the ore found around this place can be SnaeLted cheaper than miEIed.
 The Planet Copper Mine, leased by Oliver Augsdale, shipped one hundred and fifty sacks of copper ore to San Francisco on the last steamer. The mine is looking better than it has for some time past.
 I notice the arrival of a nephew of MT. McNevin by the steamer from Hardyville.
 Christmas and New Years pass ed off here very pleasantly-no one drunk or disorderly. 1 hope you had the same at Yuma. Wish ing you many merry ChriStmases and happy New Years to come, l remain, yours with respect,

4 Charles Francis Adams Is now in
his SEVENTEEN year. He presents to-
day the same spectacle manifested in
several distinguished public men IN
the past few years, who belonged to
the republican party and did noble
work therein, but in their declining
years went of after strange gods and
became the plant silly tools, of their
lifelong political enemies. Take for
instance, the cases of Salmon P. Chase
and Horace Greeley.
How such results are brought about
one can hardly imagine, nevertheless
these political sights in each year Of
American politics are observed. In
every single instance they are only
the vain, silly tools, of the democratic
trickstcrs, set up to run, simply be.
cause they are supposed to be able to
help back into power the advocates OF
the ''lost cause" The tool passes in.
to oblivion after election, and almost
always in the case of such old dupes
into the grave ina very brief period
They seem to awaken from their de-
fusion. when their fancicd bauble has
exploded and they die Of grief and
shame.

StlM Taking Peace.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. l5.-lt is re-
ported that although the reply of the
Porte to the representations of the
powers will formulate conditions of
peace, it will leave the conduct of the
negotiations with the powers. si
The Porte has informed the Ambas-
sador of the Powers that il is impos-
sible to grant an armistice, but it is
prepared to accept peace based upon
the following points: s aR
LIST. The reoccupation Of the fort
ress held by Turkey previous to 1857.
End. The destruction of fortresscs
constructed by the Scrvians since 81.
3rd. The investiture Of Prince Mi
Ian at Constantinoplc.
4th The reduction of the effective
Servian army to 10000 men and three
batteries. " q
9Th. The construction Of a railway
across Scrvia.i ~
The Porte insists chiefly upon the
necessity of the occupation of the
principal Scrvian fOrtresses so as to
prevent fresh aggression, and leaves
the negotiation of treaty ON the
above basis entirely in the hands of
the powers. 3tFN tu

Accuracy Of Measuring Instru.
ments.

At late conference held at the
Kensington Museum, Sir j. Whit
worth, in treating of linear measure
ments-a subject he has so thorough
~ illustrated-stated that fifty years
ago the thousands Of spindles used in
cotton factory had each to be sep
arately fitted into the bolster in which
it worked, but that at present all these
spindlcs were made to gauge and
were interchangeable. Sir j. Whit
worth said the foundation of oil ac-
curacy in measurement was the pro-
duction of true plane. TO show the
extreme accuracy in the process OF
measurement an instrument was ex-
hibited which gave the differences OF
ono twenty-thousandth of an inch.
In a discussion which followed on
measurements nj. Tresca said that il
was desirable that instruments should
be available which should determine
thicknesses equal to one-thirtieth OF
the thread Of a cobwcb. Sir j. Whit.
worth has constructed a machine ca
pable of giving measurement of the
onc-milliOnth Of an inch.

The Albany On. Y.) Times, demo-
cratic paper published at the capitol
of the empire State, virtually throws
up the sponge. "No such demorali-
zation in the democratic party" il
declares, "has existed in the State
since 1853, and its cause can be traced
to the leadership Of Governor Til
den."
The Times but family represents
the situation of the democracy in
New York. II is no idle boast to say
that New York is as certainly to go
for Hayes and Wheeler almost as is
Iowa. Ten thousand illegal demo-
cratic votes in the purlieus of New
York City will not save the State to
democracy. 1t will take twenty.
five thousand such Illegal votes to do
it.and even those might not be enough.
Samuel J. Tilden is esteemed a most
dishonest man by the intelligent hon
est voters of New York almost to a
man. In tho West we have no adc-
quate idea of Tilden's complete fail
ure in his own State.

SrRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 14.-The
Democratic State Committee held
three sessions Mt the Leland to- day.
The committee is in tribulation. 1t
has little money and less brains. Nc
Cormack, made chairman on account
OF his wealth, was represented by
Bob Goodell, who is passing slowly
through the Bankrupfs Court. The
committee met to consider the politi-
cal outlook. Upon consideration the
outlook was found dark and forbid
ding, whereupon, at the closing ses-
sion, 1t was resolved to lay of and
bide the result in Indiana. Having
no money to carry on campaign, the
committee has decided to call no gem
eral mass meetings unless Indiana
should go Democratic. In that event,
the committee authorizes mass
meeting at Paris and Alton, and in
vites Tom Ewing, of Ohio, Hendricks,
and VOORHEES,, assuring these foreign
worthless that Judge Trumbull and
DOolittle will also be on hand to play
second fiddle. Ewing, the committee
says, is invited for the sole object of
explaining why a greenback financial
lunatic should vote for Sam. Tilden
and hard-money fraud. The ses-
sions of the committee were harmo-
NOUS, as the members had only one
subject to consider-that of terrible
lack of funds. The select committee
appointed month ago to secure
money from Steward, candidate for
Governor, reported that Steward
would not give up cent. Lieut-Gov.
