A Shot from the Enemy.

kNShingtOn ARitAtorl
 We were lying in winter quarters. and had days and days of nothing to do. l did not play cards. but my tentmate did He also had three spe .ial friends who played. and their meeting place was in my tent There they met day after day in the morning. in the afternoon and in the evening until late at night Our tent was built for permanent quarters In one end we made Q door eighteen inches wide by three feet high On the opposite side was a fireplace built outside of small sticks. like stone work, and covered in side with clay mortar
 The boys. as usual. were at their cards. l took friend into my counsels. and We procured a she'll which had blown the load out without bursting. We fastened into this sheil long fuse. l then told my friend 10 go away several rods 10 an empty dry goods box. and strike upon it SO as tc make 1t sound like the booming of distant cannon -Harkl" said one. d you hear thatg That's from Lees battery on the left We may have other business than card-playing by daylight
 Just then bloom went the old dry goods box. and instantly dropped the shell, with the burning fuse. down the chimney. The shell fell upon the fire and rolled under the bunk on which the boys were sitting. -Tch- tch-tch--" went tbe burning fuse. The boys thought it a message direct from Lees battery Two tried 10 jump through the door at the same time. and blocked up the narrow door SO that neither was able to get out A full evacuation of the tent was finally elfec ed and a retreat made - not. however. in good order No one was killed. but the boys waited behind distant trees for more than thirty mortal minutes momentarily expecting 10 see the heroes came together. and in the council of war they held on the field of fright it was decided that they had been the vic. tins of fraud But there was no more cArd-playing in my tent

O-e would be suf- plised to iiud so mucl assessment and development work being done In what most people consider dead" mining diet Icts.

They have an abund- ance Tn their well in Ihs flat, four miles below the works. A good custom mill at this place could be supplied with s quantity of far grade ore from the sur rounding mountains at a very small eXIense, as the country IS trHyersed m every direction by the best of natural roads and We saw during our visit to different mines many hundred tons of good grade ore, taken from tin--loOSing prospects, Gall within radius of twenty miles of the Bonanza Co.'S we'll, that no doubt would be opened up and the ore find ready sale at custom mil.
 Ore that will not pay tO ship to Colo rado or New Mexico would give good re- turns by being worked in Pima county. Every prOspectOr expresses himself hs anxious to see good custom mill put up near here-anywhere he' ween Barbo- quivari sDd the Covered w-lls-snd con- tracts could be readily made with many prospecturs to furnish from , tO 10 tons per day of JO-oz silver ore.

Some little time ago there appeared an advertisement in . weekly journal in which the writer affected to make an offer 10 the reader. which he assumed no one would answer, simply on account Of incredulity His proposition vas made as a test to show if there was any faith left in mankind He didn't expect any reply. but he simply made the experiment The offer was 10 the effect that if any Of the readers would send him i've 5 cent stamps be would return them present suitable 10 their wishes. Nine people out off ten would have said that no man or woman could be gull enough 10 be 'aken in by such bait ss this; nevertheless sev- eral parties sent the stamps. entered into particulars of the station of life in which they moved. and indicated the kind of presents that would be acceptable.

Rribery at EIection.

There was a mass meeting of the
citizens of Caroline county, in this
State, held at Denton yesterday,
which was largely attended by both
parties. After the meeting was pro.
perly organized. committee OF five
was appointed by the chair (three
democrats and two republicans) to
prepare resolutions for the meeting.
Two reports were made. The major
ity report being o set of resolutions
recommending the appointment of
committee of ten to endeavor to OBJ
tain pledges from the nominating
conventions of the Republican and
Democratic parties to neither use nor
countenance the use of money to se-
cure the election of their respective
nominees. The minority report fav4
ored the immediate nomination Of q
third ticket, to be composed of ofhonest,
upright, unbuying men of both par
ties. The democrats defended the
majority report and it was finally
adopted.
The committee OF ten were equally
divided-fye democrats, five repub.
licans.
This is the first combined effort
ever made in this State to suppress
the dangerous traffic in freemen's
votes, and much credit it due the peo-
of Caroline for inaugurating the move
ment. The CAPITAL sincerely hopes
the example will be followed in every
county, and that the ballot-box Of
Maryland may indeed become tthe
palladium of our liberties" !" It is to
be hoped both parties in this county
will take proper steps at their re-
spective conventions, to put an end To
the use of money in our elections for
corrupt purposes.
