The virginia Canvass,

The Joint canvass OF Colonel Cameron
aud Major Daniel is enlivening Virginia politics
to an extent not witnessed before since the Whig
and Democratic contests Of the times before the
war. Great crowds turn out to hear the rival can
didates wherever they go. The gain in this dis
cussion must of necessity be on the side of the
party of tolerance, progress and liberality. Bour.
bonism is only formidable when 1t refuses TO sub
nit its ideas and methods to the test of free inquiry
and relies on its old weapons of denunciatlon, os.
trncism, and terroism.

Rich SILVER DISCOVERY IN DAKOTA.

EArO-Banks. nnd n Daily Newspaper.

Some time ago an old prospector named
Redpath found some hoat-rock on the hills about
ten miles from DGadwood, which he thought was
pure carbonate lie brought It 10 the city, had It
assaycd, and found that It went up TO the thou
sands Of ounces of silver TO the ton. Ho also
showed II TO old Colorado miners, who pronounced
II the pure stuff, md were very anxious to dis
cover where It came from. There was great deal
Of fmystery at FIRST but the secret finally leaked
out, and the excitement commenced. II was mild
at first, but In short time II took possession Of
everybody, and the stampede Of the season was
inaugurated. The ground on which the
discovery was made was in q wild
portion of the country that had never
been prospected. There were no roads TO the
point and the first crowd oftreasure- hunters made
their way there on horseback or afoot They came
back with specimens Of rich rock, and In Il day or
two Deadwood, Central City, and Lead City were
almost depopulated A town was laid out, lots
drawn for by all present rules Of government
agreed 10, and the place named " West Virginia
City" In foriy.eight hours the town contained
nearly one thousand inhabitants and nine saloons
were in operation. On the third day two faro
banks were opened, restaurants were started, and,
to cap the climax ON the fourth day the first copy
of daily newspaper, called the Carbonate Reporter
was issued Fifty buildings have been erected
during the last week, and as high as $500 has been
paid for building lots. The town promises TO be
permanent, rs there have been many rich finds.
