strong hope and perseverance. Six
weeks since he commenced work in
shaft on an old discovery that had
been abandoned. He sunk the shaft
to depth Of 30 feet, striking decom-
posed gold quartz on which he start
ed two crusters and one small mill
to crush the quartz. At the end of
one week he cleaned up and was re-
warded for his labor with twelve thou
sand dollars. This he Immediately
conveyed to Helena and deposited it
in bank for safe keeping. Parties
went out and examined the mine and
in a few days Vestagbonded the mine
to the agentsof a Chicago Company
for 100000, binding himself in the
penalty of $4,000 to sell to them with
in 60 days. After developing the
mine further, Vestal concluded to pay
the forfeit money,$5, 000,and keep the
mine. A few days after, the same
party offered him 100000 which
he declined to take. He is now down
81 feet on the shaft which is 15x15
feet. Yesterday a solid gold brick
was cast from the product of this
mine, measuring in length Is inches,
in thickness inches, and in breadth
10 inches, and weighing over 250
pounds. see by this evening small
that Hersfield Bros. Bankers in Hcle-
ma value the brick $4,000.
We arc receiving many emigrants
this spring from the States and Can
adas. But as the plaguy little hop
pers are Matching out in such vast
numbers in some of our valleys fear
many of the new emigrants will be
frightened back to their old homes.
AS we have had no snow | expect we.
will have some yet, and that will also
drive back the pilgrims, (as emf
grants are called).
Before | close | will refer to an in
quiry made in the Post q few weeks
since. In abiding to the controversy
going on in the country among the
prominent divines on the subject of
hell, and it seems q majority of the
good preachers have decided there is
no hell. The Post makes the inqui-
ry, "where do Democrats expect to
get rewarded if there is no hell?"
Please inform the Post and all others
concerned that all good Democrats
believe in a future state, and in re-
wards and punishment for deeds done
in the body; in a heaven the home Of
the soul for the righteous, and in a hell
the place of puni shment for the wick
ed. And that Democrats when they
leave this world will receive their re-
ward in that home of the soul prepar-
ed for the just. Who are those wise
expounders ofthe Bible? Every moth
er's son of them prominent Republi-
cans, who have for years disgraced
their holy calling by making them
selves prominent in politics. Henry
Ward Beecher the bell weather of
them all has discovered there is no
hell. 1t was Henry Ward who order
ed collections taken up in Plymouth
Church, the proceeds of which were
invested in Sharps breech- loading
rifles, which he ordered to be packed
in boxes, marked Bibles ard ship
ped to the New England Aid Society
in Kansas, in 1856. twas with these
bibles that John Brown and his fol-
lowers were armed Beecher recon-
mended that these rifles be used in
shooting down all emigrants from
Southern States who should be found
in Kansas. Well may this debauched,
brazen-faced old hypocrite declare
there is no hell and that John
Browns soul goes marching on.
Again, the Post in referring to the
conviction of Anderson of returning
board notoriety, makes the charge that
it was packed jury Of Democrats,
and that Judge Whitaker, before whom
Anderson was convicted, is a thief.
Now will the Post be kind enough to
inform it's readers that this corrupt
Judge was first appointed to office as
arpet-bagger by Lincoln and en-
dorsed by secretary Seward and Chase
and that when he committed the theft
referred to he was a bright and shin
ing light in the party of great moral
ideas. But change takes place IN
Whitaker. His conscience lashes
him and he repents and desires to re-
form. This he can not do and con-
tinue his evil associations, hence he
cuts loose from that army of thieves
and liars and joins the Democratic
