EDITOR REcoED:-Under the depressed
state OF business which exists in our
community at the present time many of
our citzeus are at a loss to see in what
way our financial prosperity will return.
Grave doubts cast their shadows on the
hrows of our most substantial business
men while contemplating the result.
Your correspondent has been an observ-
er OF all the varied changes and vIci5si-
tubes that have attended the develop
ment of this State since the first pros
pect of the precious metals was discov-
cred in Gold Hill Canyon. Since that
time 1t cannot be said that prosperity
has always followed with immediate re-
ward the unwearied efforts of the bone
ana slnew Of the hopeful miner backed
by capital, to dig into the deep recesses
of our mountains. and bring forth the
hidden treasure which makes our State
the wonder of all nations. 1t must be
plain to all observing minds that this
abundant harvest that is being reaped
from our mines IS the reward that SO
OIlcu lOIIO"s Is uiuulleSS cur IT VI ptTst-
verance, in which virtue tn miners Of
Nevada have no cOmpeers. II is not
necessary 10 altude to the may discour-
aging results with which the most san
gulne hopes have been apparently blast
ed and when failure seemed TO stamp its
impres on the best laid schemes of men
and money the watchwori perseverance,
parent of success, struck cord which
infused new llt' and put the whole ma
cbluery in motion.
If We ask to-day what ara the pros
poets OF Phoebe, taken with its surround
| ings. to the hopeful and rejecting they
are certainly encouraging, The Meadow
Valley and Raymond & Ely mines have
| certainly been the support of our camp,
which support has in manner left US
until machinery sufficient to drain these
mines Is put in place, when they will
amply repay the perseVerlDg companies
who, at great outlay of money will no
doubt find themselves masters of the
situation. Considering our surround
inGs outside of the two excellent mines
referred to, We have n mineral belt par
TALLY unexplored for several miles, ex-
tending to Highland District, which at
present is making a fair showing, and,
continuing on to Bristol District, which
only requires capital and labor TO show
that II will we'll reward the most sau-
guine hopes. PRosPECToR.

business point Of view to this county
seat as we'll AZ the county of White Pine
generally, and will give an impetus and
value to the property about the town,
which of late has been selling at tbs
Courthouse door for delinquent taxes.
Those who by neglect or otherwise have
allowed this property to pass from them
by pon-payment Of taxes. will see their
mistake, We think, before one year has
passed by, and the property now looked
upon az useless by them. will be in de-
mand of good prices. We have seen in
Virginia City about the same state Of
things tbs spring Of 1860 TO the
fall OF 1868 everything looked dark and
gloomy and property had but little value,
but as facilities for opening the mines
were furnished and their development
proved. there was something ofreal worth
in the bosom of the earth, property be-
gan to enhance and has now a stable
value. Our mines are good. and as an
effort to develop them is about to be made
why not our property, our business pres
perity, and our mines prove as valuable
as those of Virginia City. the silver
mines of which camp wsre found BY men
who did not know silver ore when they
saw it, but complained that ''the blue
stuff prevented the quicksilver from tax
ing up the gold" for which they were
working at the time, upon the surface OF
the Comstock. The blue stuff of which
they complained was very rich silver sui
phurets. as pronounced by Mr.. George
Atwood, then of Grass Valley, California,

The shooting CT Shram by Dan.
Sullivan.

BY the Eureka Sentinel of April we
have the following account OF the shoot
ing :. Dutch joe by Dan. Sullivan:
This morning about half past o'clock
those VINO were awake in town at that
hour we're startled by the reports Of three
near the corner OF Main and Clark streets.
The shots were fired by Dan. Sullivan, .
gambler, and the victim was Joseph
SlIsE., commonly known as Dutch
Joe. " member OF the SAME profession.
Two of the shots took effect, one in the
(, shoulder. inficting q slight flesh
wound, and the other in the abdomen,
about three inches below the naval.
There Is scarcely possibility OF the lat
ter falling to prove fatal, as the bullet
nus. have passed directly through the
bowels. The wounded man was taken
to DR.. Bishops Office, where he was
properly cared for. After the shooting.
which took place on the sidewalk in
front of the Corner saloon. Sullivan
started around the corner down Clark
street, when officer Mckee followed and
arrested him and took him to Jail. The
trouble commenced in the Sszerac sa-
loon, where both had their pistols out.
but no shooting was done until they got
out on the sidewalk Shram did not
fire his pistol. We did not learn the
origin OF the difficulty or any further
particulars except that Shram was con-
siderably under the influence o. liquor
and Sullivan was sober.

ShraIn is since dead.

The Eureka Miners Union, through
their President, Henry Radcliffe, have
presented their reasons for the course
pursued by them, in a communi-
cation to the Eureka Sentinel of the 9th
inst. The substance Of this communi-
cation is that there is no quarrel with
either the Eureka Consolidated or the
X. X. Company, but that there is an
irrepressible conflict with the Rich
mond Company. The nature Of this
difference in the first place was that
the miners were paid in silver instead
of gold; and the further difference is,
that after the Superintendent had stip-
ulated that the payments should be
made in gold, he let some contracts
for working the lower levels of the
mine to men whose purpose was 10
pay their workmen in silver. OF
course, if this was done it was an act
of bad faith, because an evasion Of the
spirit of the agreement OF the Super
intendent. Mr.. Ratcliffe further sets
forth that there is a combination OF
mining Surerintendents to break
down the Union. According to his
showing, the representatives of the
Richmond Company did not act with
fairness toward the uiners-were in
the wrong, in other words. In GER
tain measure, wrong seems to Justify
wrong; and we suppose that the
miners justify their act of taking the
non L MON men out of the Richmond
mine in the fact that an attempt was
made to deceive them. If this COM
munication sets forth the facts, there
would seem to be a very serious "dead
leck +" between the Superintendent of
the Richmond and the men a: these
mines.

OF writing we made a stupid and al
most inexcusabie biunder in yester-
days issue. We accorded the battle
of New Orleans 10 General Taylor,
instead of to General Jackson. The
only remedy We now see for the matter
Is to beg General Jackson's pardon
when we go back to Missouri. REV

We say it with regret, but the truth
might as well be spoken: General
Jackson is dead. You will not find
him in Missouri; but you may, in a
future state, be permitted to know him
in the place where ali Missourians go.

Nor FOUND YET.-Joseph Hitchings,
the man who SO mysteriously disap-
peared from the Hay Ranch, in Pine
valley, few days since, has not yet
been heard from. Some fifteen or
twenty Indians are out searching for
him, but up to yesterday morning no
trace of him had been discovered. At
the time of his disappearance he was
laboring under an attack of mania potu
and it is feared that he fell into Pine
Creek and was drowned. Il Eureka

San Francisco, April I0.-The whisky
war which has been going on here for
the last SIX months continues to com e
prominently before the public through
the statements and counter statements
Of Revenue Agen. Phillips and interested
parties in this city. The trouble with
those engaged in working up the cases
seems TO be that there is an interest at
Washington strong enough to give them
great trouble in getting matters into such
a shape that proceedings can he com
menced with fair prospect of pushing
them to successful issue. The ring
here owes much of it's strength 10 its
compactness, the members being COM
parativaly few in number. There is
belief in certain quarters that much OF
the information which is published here
from day to day. purporting to be de-
rived from local sources, is in reality OF
an eastern origin, and is furnished from
irresponsible sources with a view OF put
ting the ring on its guard. Meantime
the investigation still goes on. and addi-
tional facts are constantly being brought
to light, and it is quite possible that at
an early day further disclosures msy be
made to tbs public. tending to more
plainly show the close connection be-
tween the ring and Government officials
both here and in Washington.
Wilkinson, who was arrested on Satur-
day for embezzlement while L. S. Collec-
tor Of Revenue in Missouri, is before the
court to-day, and will probably DO sent
East in few days. he expresses him
self as being anxious to return, and
claims that a conspiracy exists there o:
which he is the victim.
Thompson & Co., the puts and calls
firm, which lately suspended, started in
again to-day. All their liabilities have
been settled. The firm now is Pearson.

Woodville fame, is the backing partner.

INDIAN INJURED. An Indian was
badly jammed between couple of flat
cars attached to train, at Wells, last
Thursday. The train started up while
he was in the act of passing from one
side to the other breaking his collar
bone and two ribs. He was brought
here for treatment yesterday, and DIR.

in position. As usual with the male
aborigine, he bore tho painful opera

UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON. ApriI II 1875

WASHINGTON, April Il, 1876. !
DEAR SIR: / am highly gratifed at your
Endorsement of my course on the Mississippi
resolution. The speech created quite a
pleasant sensation here and through the
North II did what few speeches from
southern men have done, it reached the
ears and hearts Of the North, and that was
the very thing | wanted to do. ] knew that
the position / took was the true one, and /
should have been a coward and unworthy
TO represent Tennessee in the Senate of the
United States had | failed TO discharge the
duty my Judgment and conscience dictated.
NV personal success is nothing. | trust
that / have courage enough to fall if my fall
Is necessary to save the people | represent.
/ should be a most unfaithful public servant
If labored 10 secure private ends at the ex-
pense of the public good. No, sir; l will
do what ] think the interests of the people
demand though | fall a thousand times in
the effort. Ny dear sir, the Democratic
party must become party of principle-of
progress. 1t must not ride at anchor 1t must
cut loose and sail out with sheets spread and
flags unfurled. 1t must act affirmatiyely
We must not perish in the wilderness. We
must move out of it to the land Of promise
of peace and fraternity. What good does
it do for me, like a cat, to turn all my hair
the wrong way and spit at Morton, Bout
well, or any other Senator? Is it better for
me to say that you are a scoundrel and liar
than that you are wrong but are honestly
mistaken? have had my fight and want
peace. l concede that | am whipped /
concede that the negroes are free and enti-
tied to citizenship-tha they shall not be
again enslayed. That State cannot seccde,
j agree, and furthermore, ] agree that man
may have opposed the south and yet be an
honest man-misguided, if you please, yet
honest. | believe that the South was right
in the war, but the war decided that it was
in the wrong, and abide by the result. If
the press of Tennessee can convince the
North that misrepresented the temper and
feeling of my people. it will be unfortunate
for that people. Very truly,
