Sap Letrers.—The National says the
mail facilities with the South are now as
_ 00d as before the war, and fumerous letters
are being received by our people from their
friends and relatives in the South. **Many
of the letters bear black seals and are stain
ed with teats: Friends are informed for
the firat time, by these sad missives, of the
demise of those who have been dead for
years. ‘Numerous letters tell of impoverished
households, ruined forms, desolate hearthstones.’ These are the result.ot secession
and treason. Such things were predicted
by Alexander Stephens, and so literally have
his ‘prophetic words been verified that his
speech is now a truthful statement of the
condition of the South. The rebels have
not only brought wove and want upon them’ selves, but they have made almost’ every
home a heuse of ‘mourning. Thousauds of
brave’. and lvyal sons of the North have
reddeffed the soil of the South with their
blood and laid. down their lives for their
country. This is the legacy of war forced
upon the nation. If the lesson taught is
heeded by the people, then the cloads will
soon pass away ; the losses will soon be res
paired, and the war remembered only as the
regeneration of the nation.
' An Eastern correspondent, speaking of
‘the President’s plan for the reconstruction
of the rebel States, alludes to a conversation in which Johoson,in reply to some one
who expressed a doubt as to the success of
the plan, said, “Well, we'll try this plan
first, and if we find it won't work, why,
we'll try some other.” We rather guess
. ‘some other’ will have to be tried in Mis.sissippi. The President proposes to give
the rebels a chance to make themselves
good citizens, and iffthey do not do it, he
will probably keep them under military
rule until they come to the mark. We like
Andy's doctrine. He -proposes to give the
rebels a show te “work out their own sulvation” and if they fail he will step in and do
othe work himeelf.
THE Corron Sup PLY.—Cotton goods are
_nearly as high now as when gold wae at
250—45 and.50 cents a yard being the price
fur good qualities, The Cincinnati Times
says:—"F ron a variety of Southern letters
we deduce the conclusion that there will be
avery small yield of cotton this year! In
pursuance of Jeff Davis's orders the people
had generally planted their lands io grain.—
There will be an unusually large corn crop.
which will save the people from starvation,
but owing to the scanty yield of cotton, very
little money. This will, perhaps, prove»
good state of affuirs yet for. the South.—
+ Their old system of lubor is broken up, and
planters will find it impossible to manage
immense farms, They will be compelled to
subdivide and sell. This will bring immigration into the country, and the destruction
uf that wealth which was the sub-stratum of
a heartless aristocracy, will conduce to elevate the masses,’ who have been hitherto
kept under.”
Tre Best Time.—The time of Molly
Jackson, says a corespondent of the Union,
in the great race at Louisville, in 1861, waa
5:289, a third heat. Molly Jackson is by
Vandal, dain by imp. Margrave, and two of
the horses she beat im that race are the progeny of Lexington. On Saturday Nortolk
proudly replaced the crown vn the honored
head of his blind sire, the Homer of the turf.
The case how stands thus: Fastest four miles
with Southern weight, 7:199, by Lexington:
fastest four miles with Northera weight, 7226
by Idlewild; fastest three miles, 5:274, by
Norfolk; fastest two wile’, 3136, by Asteroid; fastest mile, 1:444, by Mamwona, Of
these horses, all save Mamyona and Lexingten himeelf, are the get of Lexington, aud
every one of them, save Lexingten, are out
of Gleneoe mares.
“eo
Trtrs ResumeD.—The Overland Stage
Line coaches bave commenced te run regularly every day through from Salt Lake to
* Denver.” So we will have again, says the
Vedette, the luxury-of mail matter from !
_ America! The wilitary along the Tine fromthat place to Denver, and from De aver to the .
Missouri, is enid to be in efficient ounditivh
ANCIENT OIL WorkKINGS IN PENNSY¥LVANiA.—The existence of petroleum in
country must have been known to a race of
people who occupied this continent anterior to the aborigines, found here by Columbus and his followers, and by whom it must
have beén extensively used. This fact has
recently been breught to light by the finding
all through the valley of Oil Creek, and other
vil localities, of hundteds and. thousands of
pits, which have evidently’ been dug for the
purpose of gathering this oil, but at a period
so reinote that trees 250 years of age are
found growing upon the earth thrown out of
these pits! ‘A very interesting query is
suggested as to” Who were the people who
dug these pits, and for what purpose was the
oil gathered? . They could.not have been
dug by the present or recent races of Indians who have inhabited that-country, for
they had neither the meaus of execuling such
work, nor had they any use for sueh quantities of the oil as must evidently have been
taken out. These ancient workings must be
considered as another link in the great chain
of evidence which goes to prove that this
continent was once peopled by a race of
comparatively civilized people, the very
name apd existence of which has been forgotten even in the ancient: traditions of the
aborigines found on this continent by Colnmbus and-his companions.

Breetn Loapers.—Breechi loading
firearms are fast taking the place of other
weapons. The French goyernment has
adopted them for its entire army ; the English government has advertised for proposals for changing all its guns to breech loaders. Our own Government has adopted
them, and the Swiss Consul General has issued a circular inviting breech loaders for
trial in order to secure the best for the use
ofthe army. The government of Switzerland offers a premium of 20,000 francs to
the inventor whose ‘breech loading gun is
adopted for use in the Swiss army. Several
European governments have agents in this
country looking up ouf {mprovements in
firearms and other implements of war.

THE superintendent of the telegraph company has offered a reward of $50 for the detection of the petson who cut the wire at
Salt Lake, The wire was eut and carried
off within sightof-the city. The farmers
were busily engaged in securing their hay
crop. The late snow has not injured the sugar cane crop as feared it might, and a
good quantity of soghum will be made,

Lost THEIR MoNney.—We learn that
some of the Nevadaus who had seen Pilot
make time on the Glenbrook Course, staked
their money on him at Sacramento. and lost.
As Pilot did’nt begin to come down to the
mark he scered in this county our boys
think that the race was “put up” on them.
They have learned that horse flesh is
“mighty unsartain.”
THE result of the survey of the line for
the Central Pacific Railroad frem the Summit to Truckee river, shows that the road

could not make the elevation with a grade
less than 150 feet te the mile.
—Tne London correspondent of the New
