The demand for the Second Series OF the
7.3O Notes was so great that the Treasury
Department was unable to print them with
sufficient rapidity to fill the orders. 1t will
be remembered that a hundred millions were
subscribed and paid for in a single week.
The printing presses have finally surmounted
the difhculty, and or Wednesday, June 7th,
the deliveries Of the Third Series commence
ed, and will be continued with the same
promptness that marked the supply Of the
notes Of the first and second series. 1t has
been this interruption Of delivery at the time
Of subscription which has given an appear
ance of a falling off in the popular taking
Of the loAn,-,he great body Of small takers
being unwilling to pay their money unless
they receive their notes right in hand, to car
ry them home. II is expected that after this
week the daily subscriptions to the Seven
Thirties will run up into millions, as they
will undoubtedly be stimulated by the open
West. 1t is not at all likely that the gov
eminent will ever again offer SO desirable a
security as these notes, and about two hun
dted millions only remain to be taken.


With the close OF the war the national ex-
penses will be vastly reduced, and investors
must look for sharp reduction in the rate OF
interest as soon as the present loans become
due, and can be paid off, There is no reason
why the United States credit for money should
ever again fall below its credit for courage.
The same spiri, that preserved the geographi-
cal integrity Of the country will place its
Pecuniary integrity on a par with that Of the
most favored notions--and that will repres-

The Revenue ledge is feet wide and
the claims Of the Company comprise 1000
llneal feet The groupings are full of Ar
gentiierous Galena, Chlorides of Silver and
Copper, and Pyrites of Iron. There are
several rich paying claims in its vicinity and
TINS ledge alone is of sufficient value tomake
the Union Mining Company great success


The Mountain Gem ledge embraces
1000 feet, but it is moi so wide as the other
ledges of the Company; although its rich
ness and accessibility and ease of develop
ment, make it a very valuable portion of the
Companies silver property.


All of the lodges of the Company may be
worked by shafts or by comparatively short,
tunnels on different levels and to a great
depth. This economical feature inthe work
ing OF mines will he readily appreciated by
the knowing Ones" The Mountain GEM
has the finest out-crop Of any ledge yet dis
covered in the district, and it is thought
there is no better in the whole Reese River
country. II may be opened by "drihing"
in on the lead so that very little or no barren
rock would have to be excavated, and no
pumping or hoisting would be required


The properties of the Company are all so
situated that very little expenditure will be
required to construct roads, and are only
from one and half to two and a half miles
from Canon City in south and easterly di-
! reotion.


There is ample wood and timber for the
use of the mines near by on the mountains
and an excellent mill-site has been secured
for the Company, and also large wood
Rancho.


"The Mountain Gem" is unquestionably a
"true tlssure vein" and will be highly re-
munerative and valuable acquisition to the
Company; and in connection with the other
lodges, owned by the Company, forms set
of mines that for richness and permanency
will be difficult to excel in the State Of Ne
vada, or even in the United States. The de-
velopments already made are sufficient to
satisfy practical and experienced men, who
have examined the mines of the Company,
that either one of the three mines, contains
more rich ores than fiity-stamp mill can
work for generations to come. - Mining

She clings to his memory and affection in
the midst of all his forgetfulness and hard

as she inslills the lesson of piety and fIal

You ask my "views Of the future course
and future interests of us all" The case
is so plain that very little can be said or
written upon it. We of the South refer
red the questions al issue between us and
the United States to the arbirament OF
the sword. The decision has been made,
and it is sganstus. We must accept il
as final, and recognize the fact that Vir-
gina is again one Of the United States.
Our dulles and interests coincide.


We shall consult the one and perform
the other by doing all we can SO promote
the welfare of our neighbors and kindred
and to restore the prosperity Of the coun-
try. We should at once commence the
duties Of peaceful citizens by entering up
on some useful pursuit, qualifying our
selves 10 vote,ii possibIe-and at the polls
our votes should be cast for conservative
men-men who understand and will
maintain the interests of Virginia as one

is TO expect miracle to ask such a thing.
Nothing of the kind ever happened IN
the tide of human affairs, and it ia the
very error Of the moon to look for it
We have a right to call upon the South
ern people to conquer their prejudices !:
but we must give them reasonable time
In which to do SO, and in the meantime
we can only demand submission to the
constitution and laws. A whole genera
ton OF Southern people has been edu-
Gated to believe that slavery is divine
institution or, at any rate, that their
honor, wealth and happiness were iden-
titled with its preservation. It is but
fair to give them a few years in which to
get rid of these 'Fguilty fantasies" and
and bring their minds to realization of
the tact that there are other forms of SC
'cial life as good, if not better than that
to which they had been accustomed, and
which they had fondly cherished az the
very tountain-spring of human happi-
ness.


Nothing is more certain than that the
passions which brought about the rebel
lion will die out. All experience of hu-

from the very start. had informed one

with them with regard TO all the steps
taken in ferreting out the thieyes--all was
ready TO shake the bush and catch the
game, when | informed Sheriff Warden,
in the same way, had some eight other
most respectable persons. one of whom
went with me the very first time took
the first step in the matter--and he Sher-
if Warden, instead of keeping his word
with me, betrayed his trust, and did
everything he could to iujure me, using
the most dishonorable means in doing it,
and did not arrest single one of the
thieves, known TO be such by their own
confession.


1t is true the two Merricks were ar
rested in Wyandot county, but not by
him. And George keiser, the most
prominent of all the known thieves, after
being about for some days, has come up
missing. Was this part of the plan, to
arrest the Innocent and not those who
were known TO be guilty? Of course, he
and his friends, as we'll as the friends OF
all those known to be guilty, will do all
they can to injure me in the eyes of the
public, which will be in keeping with
what has been done already.

In my second letter treated of Martial Law
very briefly, for so great subject, yet hope
with sufficient clearness and precision to be un-
derstood by all my readers. By this time sup
pose that you will clearly understand that there
is no such Jal0 in existence as Martial lar; that
the use of the term is only fraudulent trick to
cheat the ignorant, law-loVing people into the
belief that they are ruled by some sort of law,
while in fact the law is suppressed, and there is
no rule over them but the absolute will of mill
tary commanders great and small.


In my third and fourth letters treated of the
convention and its revolutionary origin charac=
ter and acts. What was said on that subject
Though not a tenth part of what might be we'll
said in illustration ofthe theme believe to be
quite enough to prove the proposition with
which started, that is--"The Convention was
revolutionary; in its character in its origin and
in its acts.


come now to treat of subject, which if /
stood alone, would require long and laborious
exposition. But as my present theme is only a
part of martial law, only the means and ma
chinery by which the laws of the land are si-
fenced and suppressed, and the absolute power
at Headquarters ramifed into every corner of
the State, and permeated through the whole
mass of society, the particular matter in hand is
more than half discussed, under the head of
martial law My proposition announced at the
beginning is this-"The government of the va
rious sections and districts of this State by
Provost MarshaJs is an unlawful and dangerous
anomaly" They are military police otieers and
their authority over soldiers and camp follow
ers is the same as the authority exercised over
civilians by our civa proUosts (often called Chief
of police) in our towns and cities. And the
Prouost Marshal has no more authority over
civilians and their affairs than the Provost CSUiJ
has over soldiers in garrison, camp or field. My
objections are not to Provost Marshals (any
more than to Captains majors when confined to
their proper places and limited to their proper
functions;) but it is to the perversion of and
uses of the Office, and the gross abuse of power,
openly displayed, in contemptuous defiance of
the law and its accredited ministers, and in ca
PRECIOUS tyranny over private persons and their
property. The aRamaJous character of this ex-
orbitant power is beyond dispute; for such a
thing has never been heard of in this country
before the present troubles; its legality has new
er been affirmed by any respectable person
within my knowledge; and venture to assert
that no publicist OF lawyer of fair standing viii
risk his reputation by affirming it. And as to
its being dangerous to the laws, to civil and re-
ligious liberty, and the rights and property of
individuals, all the people Of Missouri know

And the waters below look dark and deep,

Leans gloomily over the murky tide;


Where the reeds and rushes are long and rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day throu'
Lies at its moorings the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like sea-birds wings that the storm has Topped
And crossed on the railing, one o er one,
Like the folded hands when the work is donej
While busily back and forth between,
The spider stretches his silyery screen,
And the solemn owl, with his dull "too hoo, F"
Settles down on the side of the old canoe,
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
Roots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss creeps oer its dull decay,
Hiding its mouldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants o er the tomb flower
Or the ivy that mantles falling tower
While many blossom Of loveliest hue
Springs up Ter the stern of the old canoe.
The currentless waters are deep and still
But the light wind plays on the boat at will,
And lazily in and out again

Like the weary march of she Hands of time,
That meet and part at the noontide chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew
BY the dripping bow Of the old canoe

And padded it down where the stream runs

Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are

And looked below in the broken tide,
To see that the faces and boats were two
That were mirrored back from the old canoe
But now as I lean Ger the crumblng side,
And look below on the sluggish tide,
The face that | see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear has a soberer tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skff wings
Have grown familiar with sterper things.
