BID RKE's GOLD MINES:

We reproduce on the first page OF
the TELEGRAPH to-day lurId and
captivating description of Maj. Burke's
Hondurean gold mines, and pathetic
account Of how he was sfcalled back''
from Queenstown and how he has
aged and turned gray under the fret
ting restraint which has kept him
from returning 20 Louisiana and facing
his accusers. No wonder Burke did
not return, IL it was ever his intention
20 do 80, (Which is very much to be
doubted), for IL he had done so he
could not have cleared up the charges
against him, and under the circum-
stances he would have been fool to
hava done so. Burke's bitterest enc
mics never charged him with being a
fool. He knew that on the success of
his gold mines schemes depended his
last chance in life, and the fact that he
foated his company In the face of the
damning charges against him is an.
other evidence OF his remarkable abii-
ity and cleverness. A man has to be
"cIever'' to do anything remarkable
In England, you know.
Some think and say that the article
above mentioned was inspired by
friends of Major Burke to restore con-
fidence in the man as much ae posi-
bic, and to create the impression that
when he realizes millions out of his
river Of gold that he will return and
make good his FIRST promise eabied
over from London "to protect every
dollar and do whatever is right and
proper This was no doubt the pur-
pose, but any hope that it will ever
come TO pass Is chimericai In the ex-
syenae.

The TELEeRAPH is of the opinion
that he will iein his great friend Bo

From the latest volume of the Re-

the day before the SURF nder of Vicks-
burg Gen. Joseph E. Johnston sent
Con. Pemberton tie following very
important message:
oCamp Near Birdsong Ferry, July
8, 1868. - Lieut.. Gen. Pemberton !;
Your dispatches of June % were des-
troyed by messenger. He stated that
Gen. Smiths troops were driven back
to Monroe. This statement and his ac-
count of your condition make me
think 1t necessary to create a diversion,
and thus enable you to cut your way
out, if the time has come for you to
do this. OF that time / cannot judge !;
you must, as it depends upon your
condition. L hope to attack the enemy
in your front about the 7tb, and your
cooperation will be necessary. The
manner and the proper point for you
to bring the garrison out must be de-
termined by you from your superior
knowledge of the ground and distribu-
ton of the enemy's forces. Our firing
will show you where we are engaged.

for her many admirers. Among them the
favorito was n dnshng, dIssolute young
fellow named Reed. He pressed his
suit ardently,. and only couple of
months ago they were engaged. The
girl learned OF her lovers habit OF gambling
and promised her mother to forsake him.
And she seems to have done so. Reed
dropped out of sight about month ago and
10 was given out that he had gone to Denver.
For two weeks before his departure he
bounded the girl with threats to kill her IL
she gave him up or accepted the attentions
of any other man. The girl was frightened
and did all in her power, the mother says, to
avoid him. One night he came up to her on
the street and, catching her by the throat,
would nave plunged the long blade of an
open dirk knife into her bosom but
for the interference of two ladies who
chanced TO be passing They screamed
for help and he fed. Since that he has not
been seen here and Is supposed TO be in Den
yer. a74
After this encounter the girl told her
mother that If it became necessary she
would go away and hide somewhere-any-
where to escape Reed And on this ground
certain of those who are acquainted with the
facts in the case think that the girl has gone
away of her own accord.
