which they did the justice.
derstand that the mon

The entire celebration and the feeling which
the evlored people manifested, showed that.
they fully understand and properly appreciate the freedom which has been extended
to their race.
‘CANNON BuusTep.—The: ie,

this city during the first qimpalgo, Which’
resulted in the choice of Abraham Lincoln,

day and over the news of victory, whether in
the field or at the ballot. box, been culled
into ‘requisition. “Ou Monday last, twelve
guns were fired, morning, nvvn and night, as
& part of thh colored people's celebrativn of
the ayniversay of the day ou which the
Emancipation: Proelamatien ‘was_issued.—
Fhethirty six ryununda were fired, whea
Davis remarked that he had “one charge
left and he would Gre one gun. for the white
man.” The cartridge was rawmed home
and at ite discharge the gun exploded and
the fragments were_ thrown ia every diree, tion, Although a number of persons were
~ standing newt go one was injured: “One of
_the fragments, about the size of a hat, was
thrown several hundred yards. It-fell upou the roof of Judge Niles’ residence. and

Tre New MItu.— Yesterday the ainiine

Hunt's Hill, fell upon cement for the first
time. The mill has eight heavy stamps
which are moved by a. twenty foot “hurdy
gurdy”® wheel. The prsard sb two
Z hundred feet and the water strikes the arms
of the wheel through an inch and a quarter
shaft, thus avoiding all gearing or belting.
. With this simple machinery a speed of nine_ ty drops a minute can be obtained. The
shaft of the mine is kept dry by a smaller
wheel similar to that used in the mill. Phe
company have not reiiched the main cement chaanel yet, but they have takea out
about sixty tons of excellent coment, 8

from the depths below, accompanied by
shrill signal cries, and now the reverbrated
crash and roar of a blast; make us to feel
that the very foundations of the earth aré
giving way. It seemed as we were dropping
upon o race of Lilliputians, so ‘like ‘specks
rappearéd~ the busy throng,; but when
brought to their level, found the workmen a
sturdy set, with complexion, if half concealed by a coat of smut, as fair as that of the
fairest damsel, -They stood with astonished
gaze, as miners always % to sed woman in
their midst.
The oid air, that made us draw our siswie
closer as we descended, wus accounted for.
We stood upon a pavement of ice, last
year’s deposit and of. years before. Miniare glaciers clung to ovetshadowed crevices
of rock. It seemed as _if we stood in the
midst of a ruin of a vast cathedral; above,
the blue domé of heaven capped the seemingly “narrow, Opening. The walls were
chiseled so that they had the appearance of
being vaulted. Vust pillars separated cham‘ber from chamber; rents through these at
various heights opening into other passages,
-were as windows. The sun's rays’ struck
hy astant-upor isolated columns covered with
Nicooping maidens’ hair; fern and moss. We
looked inte the dark chambers, whicti

men are employed in the mines from 5. a. M.
till 8 Pp. M,, for 31 cents per day ; 150 children, boys aad girls, are kept at work break‘ing the ore inte small fragments, for five
cents: per diy-each. ‘The rock contains
70-100 ore.. It it not smelted at the mines,
but at Osterby aid other forges near by. It ,
is said that the excellence of this iron over
any other is owing to ita being smelted with
charcoal. Certain restrictions. bylaw fet,
ter the operatious of miners. Only a cer-.
tain quastity of ore is permitted to be taken
out yearly. Theam mount of timber that nay
be cutis stated, and the export of unsmelted
ore positively forbidden.
“ADDITIONAL Rvom.—Saxby & Laneae-.
ter are building an addition to their livery
stable on Broad street. The new apartwhich comfortable quarters will be arranged
in the rear. Fronting upon the street, will
be a comfortable and commodious office.
Saxby & Lancaster understand the business
thoroughly, and have the best livery stock
to be found inthe mountains. When the
contemplated improvements are completed,
a look at the Empires tables will do a horse:
man good.
Cement Hu.t.—Within the past. few
months several ledges have been prospected
upon Cement Hill. in which the -indications
are excellent. From one of the ledges,
‘thirty tons of splendid looking rock has
been taken out, and it will be tested very
soon at the French mill. We have been
+-shown. a number of specimens from this
‘claim, which centaiu a consiterable amount
of free guld: and ote of rich looking sulphurets. We are satisfied that the mill test
will demonstrate the richness of the ledge.
-. We believe ite owners call it the “Black
Peter.”
