The Daily Transcript. COUNTY OFFICIAL PRESS. NEVADA CITY. " @ffice---Corner of Broad and Pine Streets. -KHURSDAY, APRIL 5th, 1866, a Sn Bie Esxterprize.—We doubt if a larger mining: enterprise was ever contemplated and put in execution equal to the one of the Bed Rock Tunnel Company, at Birchville, running up ‘to Allison's Ranch, thence to Kate Hays Flat, a distance.of two miles — The company was incorporated, under the above name, in the year 1863, and have been pushing their tunnel ahead, working, . Of late two sets -of hands, night and day, __and-—intend to keep on until the work is completed, which will take about three yeats more. . Up to this.time they have got in fifteen hundred fret. The size of the tunnel is six feet high and five feet wide. If bas eost them thus far from $11 ta $20 per foot. -It is being run on a natural seam of the bed reck and blasting is required only on one side of it. The object of this stupendous undertaking is to afford the owners of the ground in and areund that place fall to run off their tailings. -As it-is now, seme of he richest ground in the county cannot be “worked Until this tunnel is completed. _ Ev‘ery kind of machinery, and experiments of all kinds: .bave’ been tried-during the past seven or, eight years, and an. immense amount ef money has been expended in order to obtain fall sufficient to work these claims and have failed. This is andoubtedly the grandest enterprise in the State.— As soon as it is completed millions of dollars will be taken from mines that cannot be worked at present. i wy For the Transcript. Mr. Editor: You said in an earnest and able editorinl some months ago, quoting from Lord Macauley, tliat ‘the end ef medicine is to cure and the ead of war to conquor,”—not 8o thinks the President of these United States. The heart-felt grief of the nation at the untimely loss uf bis great predecessor had tiardly subsided into the gentle tear of recojlection when this chiet-byaccident, the man who had berne unimeasured cursing and unblusing outrages ut the hands of the rebels of his State, commenced to talk about the coustitutional. rights. of traitur murderers and the guaranteed privileges of unquestionable rebeis. The -end-of-war, according tu the theory ofour modern “Moses,” is not tu conquer but to compromise. If itbe to held the ground already gained, it is, at thé same time, to make the enemy bitter and unreconciled though ‘he be a commoner therein, with equal privileges and equal rights, giving him. even the-kingly portion rather than the prodigal allowance. This man, who would wake “treason odious” and who, “Moses like, would lead the negro into the broad highways of freedom and-security, would have the fatted calf killed at the capital of the nation and invite the traitors and ewbittered eaemies of the loyal negro heis protecting to a sumptuous feust prepared iu hovor of what be conceives to be the restoration of Southera rights, namely rebel tyranny, throughout the late rebellious States. The freedwen who fought vn many a’ bloody field,. whu, volunteered for forlora hopes, scaled the parapets and filled the trenehes at Port Hudsen, whe died in the: hospitals and oa the pieket lines befare Richmond, who led many an emaciated aad worn out Unioa suldier from those rebel hells, called prisons, at Andersonville and Belle Isle, back to friends and freedom, who have always been loyal and never falso, down-trodden and ignorant, yet as true to the country and to Union men as the needle to the pole; these men are worthy of no protection beyond the hour of the actual struggle in which we demand their aervices; our care for them should be in no ‘ wise extended ; it should cease. when the danger isover. The “nigger” may rua’ with the engine when the fire is consuming your house and your goods, he may reacue your child from the devouring flames, but afterall you will only pay him the compliment of a gentlemen's thanks and the poor “nig” ought te be satisfied therewith.— When the wind-was high and the flames shot up from sill to rafter, when forked tongues leaped from every window, you may have pledged him your all upon your honor aga man and your hopes of heaven, but now the danger is over and the excitemeat has died away, heroism ie cheap and. the compensation for services rendered shall be meusured by.present feeling rather thar honerable obligation, ‘ been crushed without the aid of the black man, nevertheless this does not not slter the undeniable facts. The rebellion was commenéed in the interests of slavery, for securing, strengthening and enlarging the -. political power of the ruling class at the South. For yeurs had Southern politicians fought for this purpose within*the Union. on the floor of Congress. They were beaten in a political contest and theref.r they resolved to break faith ‘with the country, to force their. States to violate each and every honorable obligation to the Federal Government, and to bring the contest to a final settlement outside of the Union, on the field of battle. Forlong and weary years the contest waged ; thousands of lives_were sacrificed and_millions #f treasure-expended,— Success now favored one side and then the other. Now sboutg.of v¥ietory made the loyal States glad and jubilant, and again a wail of sorrow was burne Northward onthe breeze and trae hearts were filled with sadneas at the defeat of the Union arms. The negro was called into the service. It matters not whether the exigencies of the case made his assistance—a vecessity or not. His services were gladly accepted and cheerfully given. Well did he perform his part. He stirank neither fromthe dangers of the He shed his bloud freely, gave up life nobly. He was tried and not found wanting. Lin‘coln, of sacred inemory, gave him freedum —a great and inestimable gift—and yet one which will-lose its value if the Johnson policy is: carried out. What is freedom without protection, te the poor and uncultivated black in the society of his former master? The old tie of interest; has. béen severed, and no new one of friendship created by the altered condition of things. <A land-holding lord does not love his former serf or slave any more because he has ceased to be a serf or slave. The necessities of agriculture and of .business may make his services valuable, even indispensable, but he is no longer a thing of absolute value to the owner, to be bought and sold, bargained for and conveyed, asin days gone by. He forms no part of American: society, because he is not a citizen, enjoying the high prerogatives and rights of citizenship under our American inétitutions. With his bravery thoroughly tested and his manhood established, he is yet in a transition state betweena slave and a citizen, a chattel and a full grown man. Leave him where he is to the tender mercies of pro-slavery rebels and under other and new forms; he will be forced back to a condition of servitude and bondage as dark and oppressive as that from which he has emerg Throw around him tte protection which the Government is pledged to give, pledged by every consideration of justice, by the sanctity of its plighted ho: or, by the imperative demands of humanity, and he beeumes a citizen, belonging to an interior race it may be, but nevertheless a citizen, having nee, privilegesand immunities, which all men are bound to respect. Make him the equal before the law. His freedom was achieved by the cartridge box, and it is to be maintained by the ballet box. If he touk a part in the fighting why should he notin the voting? ‘Are loyal men or rebels to control the Seuth ? hat the negroes constitute tho great bulk of the loyal men of the South no sane‘man will deny. Are State geveruments to be organized and carried on there for the few or the many ? The Declaration of Independence says that ‘governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.” If the negro has been for these many years under the control of a geverninent. which he had no hand in making, and none in carrying. on, with which he has had no connection by word-or deed, except to help rescue it from traitors “in the hour of danger, why, in Ged’s name, throw around him all the conatitutional safeguards which the interests of humunity and “appropriate legislation’ would suggest? Do not, fur God and hus manity’s sake, force him back’ uader the utter and unlimited coatrol ofthe very men who, with feelings ten times mure bitter than in years gone by, would. gladly grind him to powder beneath the upper and-the nether mill-stones of their wrath. Men may. change but prineiple is unchangeable. The right is ever the same. Johnson ani Seward have proved black-hearted traitors but the fundamental truth relative to slavery and the black man is the some to-day aa it was when Seward made his grand free apreches, inthe Weyé, in the campaign of 1860, and treason is a8 odious now us when* Andrew Jobnson talked ory in Tenenssee. The le are true. The loyal voters who made the immertal Lincoln twice President of these States, though betrayed by political. knaves, will see, through their Senators and Representatives in Congress, that justice ie done to loyed whites and blacks of the South. JUSTICE, Granada mines, says the Territorial Enterpriee, are ofa mixed nature. Nothing decisive has yet been heard from there. Those who first left this city for the mines of Barbacoas will seon be heard from. Until then we would advise these having an itehing for that country to go slow. Don’t rush off to “New Granaticut’’—as we heard a man cal! there is something there. It may be that the rebellion could have front or the hazardous service of the picket, . . NEW GRANADA.—Reports from the New. the name the other dey—till you are sure STILL ON THE Fence.—The San Fraociseo Examiner says: “The Bulletin is evidently sound on Pope and his overland roads, _on Chilean cruisers, anti-railread petitions, etc., but is distressingly reticent on the grand and alj-absorbing issue of reconstruction. — . Never before in our history did a crisis of such overwhelming magnitude impend over the country. The conflict between the President and Congress involves the very life of the nation. The veto of the Civil Rights. bill is a document of not less significanve than was the celebrated proclamation of General Jackson. Every political paper in the United States has ere this commentd The Bulletin, however, has no word, either pro or con, for this or any other question between the President and Congress. What does that sleet expectto gain by this fence policy? Is it-wuiting to find out which side will win? What then? It will have merited the contempt of both parties by its pusil:animous, temporizing course , and will meet with no favor anywhere. We hope the Bulletin men will seriously reflect ‘upon the absurdity of theircourse. If ‘they could hear the words of contempt daily in-dulged in towards therh’ whenever their paper 1s.mentioned, we are sure they would try and do: better. We have the kindest feelings for them in the world, and it is only in the hope of their reformation that we thus noticethem. a -WHEN a missionary. collectur disturbed Horace Greeley at his writing,the great journalist said teatily, that not half as many people go to hell as ought to. = hintaan ———_——_—_—_] ARRIVALS AT THE NATIONAL EXCHANGE HOTEL BROAD STREET, NEVADA CITY. ‘Lancaster and Hasey, Proprietors.
