II o LIKE WAR.

England is either making a desper-
ate bluff or getting in dead earnest
about coming to blows with Russia.
The latter Is also showing much firm
ness. The Queens message to Parlia-
ment tomorrow, il correctly foreshad-
owed, will come very near constituting
a formal declaration Of war. Our dis
patches say the first and second class
reserves are to be called out immedi-
stely. The regulars would be ample
II war with Russia were not seriously
contemplated. The present week may
bring forth events in connection with
the Eastern question, the end Of which
NO living man can predict. War be-
tween England aud Russia is likely to
involve the whole of Europe In the
sanguinary struggle. Then amid ths
clash of arms, led on by the invinciblt
courage Of the %contendiug hosts, IL il
not improbable that thrones may per
ish and empires pass away! At al
events the situation is one of extreme
gravity, aud a day may witness trans
pirings fraught with such mighty con
as have never been known
to modern times. In the meantime

ORDER OF THE AMERICAN
UNION.


The secret organization known as
The Order Of the American Union, re-
Gently in session in Washington,
adopted a platform of principles, which
Is summarized as follows: First
Demanding an smendmentto the Con-
stitution forbidding any appropriation
of money Tor the benefit, directly or in
directly, OF any institutions under sec
tartan control. Second Demanding
an amendment forbidding national leg.
fslation for the benefit of any religious
sect. Third-Favoring a Constitution
al amendment requiring all church
property to be held by trustees.
Fourth-Demanding a Constitutional
amendment making an educational
test for suffrage. Fihh-Requiring all
church property to be taxed. Sixth
Favoring compulsory education. Sew.
enth-D Demanding a national free
school systsm. Eighth-Prohibiting
ecclesiastical Interference in civil az.
fairs. Now this is good square Ameri'
can talk. There is not an idea ad-
vanced or sentiment expressed that
every true citizen of the Republic may
not heartily subscribe to. We have
over and over again in these columns
advocated the establishment of these
cardinal principles in the Fundamental
law of the land. The only thing we
object to in connection with the Order
of the American Union, is the secrecy
which c~haracterizes the organization.
We are not q believer in secret political
societies. A thing that is worthy OF
being engrafted on the Government is
worthy Of being advocated openly and
from the house tops. Barring the
secret part of the programme. we most
enthusiastically indorse the objects and
aims OF the American Union, as set
forth above, and would be mor than
pleased to see every plank of its pub
lished platform become the fixed and
unaltersble policy of this Government.
Let the interference come from what
ever source, Jew or Gentle, Catholic
or Protestant, Mormon or Pagan, we
want no sectarian intermeddling with
the politics of the country.

COPPER SMELLING.
Robinson District, white PIN,

Robinson D1strfet, white Pine Go.
We learn that the experiments which
have been made to test the smelling quail
ties Of the copper ores. found in such
abundance in Robinson District, have met
with great success. The Ely Copper Min
ing & Smelling Company possess a very
fine property, consisting Of Q number Of
| copper mines within IN area Of four miles
| square. The copper exists in the form Of
carbonates, and the various substances
found mixed with il In the different mines
in that locality, are such as to produce a
self-fiuxing mixture, without the addition
OF any foreign material. These ores have
an average assay value Of "a per cent. Of
copper, and they Aux so perfectly that not
more than Ia per cent. Of the metal is
lost in the Stag.
The furnace, which was only erected for
experimental purposes, is a water-jacket
with q capacity Of IS tons or ore per day.
The hearth of the furnace is an incline
plane, dipping towards the Stag spout. The
furnace is filled to a certain point with ore
and coal, and the entire mass, after fusion,
is drawn off at the tap. the separation Of
the metal from the Stag arising from he
difference in the specific gravity Of the two
substances, the copper settling to the bot
tom, in suitable vessels for its reception.
Quite o number of tons Of copper have
been hauled from their works across to the
Wells, on the G. 2. II. r., and shipped to
Baltimore, where the best market in Amer
lea is found for this metal. The ingot seen
at the Jackson House, and Of which men,
ton was made in our issue on Wednesday,
is a fair sample Of the copper made at these
works, and was carried by Mr.. Thos. II.
Selby, the superintendent, to San Fran
cisco, yesterday morning. We hope to
hear more Of the success Of this new en-
tcrprise.

IN THE U. .. CIRCUIT COURT.
An Important Mining Case ON
Trial.


There is an important mining case on
trial in the United States Circuit Court at
Carson. Ike Bateman is the leading spirit
on side, and the Callison Brothers are
chief owners on the other. The Messrs.
Callison referred to are brothers Of Mr..
James Callison of Eureka. The Carson
suit:
The trial of the case of the Monte Diablo
Mining Company vs.. the Mountain Boy
Company is still in progress in the Circnit
Court. Mr.. Reyes, son of Major General
Reyes Of the U. s. A., and a graduate of
Friburg. gave his professional opinion Of
the lay of the mineral land in a mastery
manner, evidencing all throughlis argu-
ments ability as a mineralogist. Tae
ground i'll dispute is claimed by Bateman
and Allen of the Monte Diablo mine on
the one side, and by John P. Jones and
the Callison Brothers Of the Mountain
Boy Of the other. The ground was for
merly known as the Denuro mine, md had
been abandoned. About a year and a half
ago the Callison boys relocated the mine,
naming it the Mountain Boy. They de-
vcloped it into a rich property, taking out
about 500 900, when they were stopped by
an injunction clapi Ell on by the Monte
Diablo Company, who claimed the prop
erty by right of former location, asserting
that the shaft sunk on said Diablo claim
was a combination shaft of both mines.
The sympathy of the Candalarians seems
to be with the Callison Brothers, regarding
the suit as a game Of ''freeze out" o. the
part Of the Diablo Company, backed by
the Northern Belle corporation. CARRIER
& Thornton are conducting the case of the
plaintiffs, while ex-senator Stewart and
Lindsay & Dickson attend to the interests
of the defcndantS.

his money, and Wilson replied that il
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S box had been gotten

corning a knife which had been taken from
Honeyman, and by which he seemed for
some reason or other to set great store /:
Keep still ; don't let any officer pump
YOU, and your knife will be all right A
few days afterwards, when Honeyman took
his coat down from o nail in a room in O
butcher shop where Wilson had been &C.
customed to sleep, and to which he had
access at all times, the identical knife
dropped from the overcoat to the floor.
In confederation Of Honeyman's testimony
about his darling knife, Hughes bore wit
ness that on the occasion Of the robbery,
while the thieves were going through Hon
eyman, he heard him protesting against
the ravishment of his knife; that he
(Hughes), when the robbers were gone,
united Honeyman's bonds with his teeth,
and that then Honeyman had taken
Hughes knife from his (Hughes) pocket
and set the rest free.
WILSON'S ALIBI.
Wilson's defense was an abb, which he
failed to prove, many OF the witnesses
called in his behalf fatty contradicting his
assertions concerning his transactions with
them at certain times and places. He de-
MED that the conversation with Honeyman
had ever happeped, for he and Bell were
not in Cherry Greek ON the night in ques-
ton, but in Ward. This story was con-
clusively proved to be false by several wit
nesses who testified positively to having
seen both Bell and Wilson at a minstrel
performance. which was given at Cherry
Creek, on Christmas night. Bell was seen
about 20 minutes before 8 O'Clock, or the
night Of the stage-stopping, going through
the sagebrush in the direction Of the scene
Of the robbery and within one hundred
yards Of the old slaughter-pen, where his
pistol was subsequently found.
Judge Hillycr charged the jury at IL
o'clock on Monday night, and in about
twenty minutes a verdict Of guilty was
rendered. The penalty for robbing the
United States mail is life imprisonment.
Tn prosecution was conducted by United
States District Attorney yarian, assisted by
General Kittrell. Judge Clarke and Il. d.
Ferguson appeared for the defense. Bell
will be placed on trial on Monday next.
