" @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, . .

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.
