MILL SITE FOR SALE.-We would call
attention to the advertisement found in
our columns to-day, of a mill site and
machinery for sale. This is good chance
for a bargain to any one who wishes te

We had the pleasure last evening o


meeting an intelligent gentleman who hae
Just arrived by the coach from Denver. He
informs US that the excitement among the


miners of Colorado in regard to the gold


diggings of the North has grown to be an
absolute furore. About fifteen months
ago. the first reports of gold discoveries on
the Salmon river reached Denver. Only a
few in that region were then adventurous
enough to attempt the journey of more than
thousand miles, and occupying from two
to three months of patient, weary travel.
But the wild and reckless mode of living in
the mountains induces spirit of daring ad
venture, and few dozen were bold enough
to make the trip. Some few Of these first
emigrants, have returned within the last
few months, bringing with them sundry
bags Of gold dust, which have charming
and tempting look. TLey also relate sto-
res in reference to the richness of the
mines that have kindled fire which is
spreading at fearful rate among the peo-
pie of that region. The fever has effected
not only the miners, but merchants, specu-
lators and laborers have caught it, and are
already on the road to Bannack City. One
Salmon river fish arrived at Denver last
week with over seven hundred ounces of
dust, which he had received in exchange for
goods he had taken out there to dispose OF.
This gentleman stated in the presence Of
our informant that there could be no doubt
of the abundance of the precious metal in
the Northern mines, and, in his judgment,
they would prove far richer than either Cal
ifornia or Colorado. Those now at work in
the gulches there are averaging half 81
ounce per day.


The season has grown too late for any
very extensive emigration this fall, but the
coming spring will undoubtedly witness
such an exodus from the Northern and
Eastern States as has never before been
equaled.


The Rocky MouHtain NeVs, in noticing
the excitement now existing in that Terri
tory, says: "Many are satting out upon the
long Journey without an adequate concep-
tion of what is before them. They expect
and prepare for journey Of only few
hundred miles, whilst it really is more than
a thousand. Almost the entire distance is
through mountainous country, where the
WlnIerS are usually oeNcio ahU 'uo oho"S
deep. Ok teams cannot make the trip to
Bannack City in much less than ten weeks,
under the most favorable circumstances.
Before the end of that time the mountain
passes may be impassably gorged with
snow. Even now we have word that the
stage road this side of Salt Lake is so cho-
ked with snow that the coaches have to
make detour of twelve or fifteen miles


SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS.


We find the following chilly items in the
Denver Nescs of the 10th inst:


The mountains near Longs Peak were !,
clothed, on yesterday morning, witha snowy
wardrobe.


There was snow six inches deep, last
week, at Fort Brgadier, and four inches
deep at Fort Halleck,

to Bannack are a little apprehensive that

Ottawa, March 23th, 1868
Year: 1863

We have received during the week two
letters assailing us in the most vituperativs
language, ana even indulsing in threats,
for the remarks we have made in reference
to secret political societies in our midst
One Of the letters we decline to publish,
being anonymous; the other we wlthhoio
from our readers not only by request, but
because we have too much respect Tor the
author to exhibit him before the public IN
the light of such a letter.


We are at loss to account for the
frotbins passion into which SO many good
people are thrown by our allusion to the
S. B. Society Both the writer's we have
alluded to stoutly deny, not only all con-
nection with, but all knowledge of the ex-
istaace of an S. B. Society in Ottawa.
Very we'll How then dare they overwhelm
US with filthy cpithets for mentioning sup
posed revelations in reference to the >. Is.
If these gentlemen know nothing aboutIt,
they should have the decency to hold
their tongues. They are clearly, by their
own confession, not in a position to con-
tradict us.


As to the - Union League" to which
they confess they belong, we are willing to
take their statement that it has no con-
nection with the S. B., although a proml-
nent member of the League told us not
to be too sure of that" But on another
point we cannot be SO complaisant. Our
correspondent says, we ought to know that
ait is not a political organization yet
nearly in the same sentence he says it was
organized ito oppose traitors and support
the Government" Webster says "politi-
cal' means public pertaining to the
government" To say that a society to
Support the government" then, is not
political is arrant nonsense Perhaps,
however, our correspondent only means
that it disclaims having anything to do
with party politics: that is, it is open to
democrats or republicans to join. SO is
the Democratic Club. We are glad to ad-
nit into It's membership anv republican
who will pledge himself to suppo:, deno>
cratic principles.


But tcuts no figure whether this League
is democratic or republicn club, or
neither Our objection is to all secret
political societies. They are anti-repubii-
can, contrary to the genius of free institu-
tions, and dangerous. IF their object is
good, let them proclaim it that all good
men many join them in its attainment II,
as they profess, they ask nothing of their
members beyond pledge to support the
Constitution and the Union, and the gov
ernment in putting down traitors to both

and publish your object and your mutual
pledge in manly way; and add 10 it

WHAT IMMIGRATION Is DoMa FOR Us.-There
are some facts connected with the immense In
crease in immigration. to which we recently
for congratulation. We learn from the officials
at Castle Garden that Of the immigrants who
are arriving here there is larger number be-
tween the ages Of sixteen and thirty than was
ever known at any former period. OF these
the major portion are, of course, agricultural
and railroad hands; but the number of skilled
artisans is also unusually large. As general
thing these latter bring some little means with
them. and refuse to accept any other occupation
than that to which they are accustomed. The
high wages offered In our collieries have also
brought over considerable number Of miners,
who are whipped up by employers as soon a.
they arrive. These men csn average easily
from two and half to three dollars day.


OF factory hands, especially fros. the cotton
mills in Lancashire, there u large influx.
Although they come over here prepared to &C
cept work Of any kind, there Is prospect that
they will readily dnd place at their old en-
ployments. Many Of our cotton factories, which
had suspended on account Of the scarcity
and dearness Of the raw material, are now
altering their machinery 20 as to be en-
abled to compete with the English manu-
facturers in the finer description Of
fabrics. This was . result to be anticipated
from the high duties levied by the new tariff,
and, inasmuch as the difficulties created in their
manufacture abroad by the blockade are driving
over here all the best mill hands, an immense
impetus will be given to it in this country. 1t
need not be apprehended that the suppression
0! the rebellion will at all affect the prospects
O. the emigrant by throwing back upon us the
bands that have gone to the war. Leaving
aside the fact that every addition to the popu-
lation creates corresponding demand for
labor to supply its wants, it may safely be an
ticipated that for some years to come there
will be no considerable diminutiou in the aggre-
gate Of our military force, and consequently
no superauity Of industrial labor. II the South
Is to be subjugated it will require large garri-
sons to keep it under; if it is restored on such
terms as will insure its willing obedience. we
shall have full employment for the force that is
now in the field in chastising England and
France for the mean advantage which they have
taken Of US 10 our difficulties.


It will thus be seen that the advance that
we have made towards the position Of a first
class military nation will retard in no degree
our industrial progress. On the contrary, that
which our European enemies predicted would
insure our ruin promiscs to render us more
commercially independent and powerful than

truth that however man might endeAVor
to guide his way to the advantage Of q
tayorito idea or sagAcious policy, the
Almighty was directing il surely and
steadily for the publication of our coun-
try from this greatest OF national sins.


After sitting in the mood which /
have described, the General again turned
70 tie prisoner, and said, in quiet, sub
dued tone of voice:


Mr.. Landry, dare not trust myself
TO decide TO. day what punishment would
be meet for your Otlense, for Am in that
state of mind that fear might exceed
the strict demands of justice. shall,
therefore, place you under guard for the
present, until l conclude upon your
sentence"


The next morning came troops of Lam
dry's friends to tell the General what an
honorable, what a" high. toned" what an
amiable gentleman Mr.. Landry was, aud
how highly he was respected by eli who
knew him. They said that he had had
his losses the war had half-ruined him
his friends had observed that he had
been irritable of late, poor man and, no
doubt, he had struck his daughter harder
than he intended. His wife and his
other children came TO plead for him. A
legal gentleman appeared, also, to do
what was possible for him in the way Of
argument.


General Butler decided the case thus !:
Landry should give his daughter her
freedom and settle upon her a thousand
dollars.


Being in mortal terror of Fort j acksop,
he gladly complied with these terms.
The poor girl went forth that day q free
woman, and trustee was appointed TO
administer her little fortune and see that
no further harm befell her.

The conduct Of those able to converse
was worthy Of all admirations, no boast
ing Of the brave deeds which had made
them prisoners, no vaunting Of their suf-
ferings, no murmuring against their Gov
ernment, which had rescued them, alas I!
to late,--no revilings or accusations
against their cruel enemies. They show
ed they were men who felt they were
fighting for a just and holy cause, and
who were willing if need be, TO die in
its defense. When questioned of their
sulterings, they answered: "You see the
condition we are in, and you can imagine
how we have suffered TO bring us to
such state. We thank God for our de
liverance, and beg that something may
be done for the 1900 Federal prisoners
on Belle Island and near Richmond,
who are suffering As we did, and who are
dying daily from hunger and exposure"


We shudder when we read OF Neapo-
Titan prisons and Austrian dungeons;
but what are the cruelties practiced in
them, in comparison with the barbarous
treatment and Wholesale starvation of
men now in the hands Of the rebels
When l know from personal observation
the manner in which rebel prisoners are
treated, enjoying not only the comforts,
but many of the luxuries of life, and
