ern portion of that receptacle of the dead. ‘The
monument isa marble shaft, resting upon a
. sandstone pedestal—the whole about twelve feet
high, and forms the most prominent feature of
. the locality. It was chisled by Mr. Mcready, of
. Marysville, from the California gray marble,
and erected by Mr. John McCoy, of Sebastopol,
in this county, to mark the final resting place
of two brothers, the history of whose demise is
somewhat sad, and may be related ina few
. words: Austin T. and Andrew O, McCoy, the
open cut. Austin was so busily engaged at his
labors that he was ignorant of an immense slide .
which had begun to move, and threatened the
lives of those who stood in its course, Andrew
saw the imminence of his position, and forgetful of his own safety, cried out to Austin, who
heard his voice in time to make his escape,
while Andrew was caught, and crushed to death.
Austin was so affected at the circumstance that
he fell into a profound melancholy, and committed suicide in the September following. ‘This
is the briefand touching story of the monument,
which is a beautiful testimonial of the surviving
vrother’s affection, and is viewed with more
than ordinary interest by every one who visits
the spot.—[San Juan Press.
Orrick ARoLIsHen.—We notice by the
Carson City Age, of the 25th ult., that the
office of Surveyor General of Nevada Territy has been abolished, The Age says:
We have for some time past been aware of
the fact that the office of Surveyor Gen
eral forthe Territory had been abolished by
Congress, and that this Territory was to be
merged within the jurisdiction of the U. 8.
Surveyor lor California, but have refrained
from making the matter public until official
notice of the fact should reach the Territory.
Yesterday morning such notice reached this
. city, and the oftice is to be discontinued after
the first of next July.
veys made inthis Territory by the United
States will be made under the supervision of .
the U.S, Surveyor for California, who will perhaps appoint a deputy to be located here. That
retrenchment is the order of the day at Wash.
ington we believe to be true, and necessary,but
cannot but think that there are many other
drains of expense which might appropriately
be cut off and not be as detrimental to the
interests of the people of the western slope as
this.
QuickLY Mapk.—We conversed yester
dry says the Portland Oregonian, of the
20th, witha couple of gentlemen just re, turned from Salmon river, who stated that
they left New York City on the firet of
March laet; came by way of San Francisco, .
went up to Florence, took each a claim and
commenced work in eight feet of snow;
washed out the principal portion of their
claims, selling the remainder, and are now
thus far on their way back home, apparent. ly satisfied with theirtrip. They, however,
give rather discouraging
future prospect of these mines, and express
the opinion that thonsands who go there
the hardships which must be unavoidably
encountered on the trip; while many will .
be fortunate to secure enough to place .
them in easy circumstances, yet many more
will never get enough to return home with,
and nota few will lose everything they
possessed before starting there. Such are
the fortunes of the mines in all countries,
.
Tut PatmMetro Opxoxious.— A great
many letter-writers from the army in Virginia agree in saying that the rebel prisoners very generally express the strongest .
dislike for South Carolina. Especially is .
this true of the rebels now in Virginia,—if .
there is one thing that they hate worse than
they do a Yankee, it is a South Carolinian.
They feel very generally that they are
fighting the battle for the Palmetto State,
and complain that the Carolinians are careful not to take any large sbare of the dan.
ger. Very little sympathy is likely to be .
wasted upon the Jatter, by those whom they
have led into these disasters, when our forces undertake thd capture of Charleston, In
faet the hard knocke given there are likely
to be regarded with some pleasure by all
parties, exeept the South Carolinians themrelves,

of two thousand three bundred and thirty.

. TrinurE or AFFECTION.—The visitor to our
village cemetery will discover, that within the
past few weeks, a marble monument has been
erected over a couple of graves in the southeast.
. the office of the Consul of the Netherlands,
. said to have been deposited with bim to pay
interest on Louisiana State bonds, held by
Hlepe & Co., of Amsterdam, The Consv}
. protested against the seizure—appealed to
. the sacredaess of his Consular flag, and re. fused to give up the keys of the vault. He
was svarebed, however, and the keys found
on him, and in the vault one hundred and
sixty kegs containing $5,000 each; each
coin having theo,’ showing that it was
from the New Orleaus Mint. It is supposed to be a portion of tbe funds stolen by
the rebels on the outbreak of the war. The
. Consul of the Netherlands was placed under arrest for a few hours, and when released he took down his Consular flag, He
subsequently made a written statement to
Gen, Butler, and to this statement was attached a protest by Comte Mejan, Consul
of France, and Lorenzo Callego, Consul of
Spaio, together with the Consuls of England, Austria, Ruesia, Bruzil, Italy, Belgium, Hanover,
Nassau and Branswicky
Greece, Bremen, Sweden and Norw ay, Por. ugal, Hamburg, Wurtemburg, Denmark,
.
. and Switzerland,
To these gentlemen Gen. Butler replied
thus;
New Onieans, May 12, 1862.
Messrs: I have the protest which you
. have thought it proper to maka in regard
to the action of my officers toward the Consul of the Netherlands, which action I approve aod sustain, I am grieved that,
without investigation of the facts, you,
Messrs, should have thought it your duty to
take action in the matter, The fact will
appear (o be, and easily to be demoustrated atthe proper time, that the flag of the
Netherlands was made to cover and conceal
. property of an incorporated company of
Louisiana, secreted under it from the operation of the laws of the United States.
That the supposed fact that the Consul had
under the flag only the property of Hope &
Co., citizens of the Netherlands, is untrue.
He had other property which conld not by
law be bis property or the property of
. Hope & Co.; of this I have abundant proof
j'n my own hands, No person can excel
ine in the respect I shall pay to the flags of
all nations and to the Consulate authority,
even while I do not recognize many claims
made under them; but I wish it most dis
tinctly understood that, in order to be respected, the Consul, bis office and the use
. of bis flag, must each and all be reepected,
. I have the honor to be, very respectfally,
your obedient servant,

placed over the offices of the French and
Spanish Consul¥, as there was reason to
suspect that specie belonging to the Confederate government had been therein gecreted; but on assurances from those officials that the information upon which the
euspicion was based was incorrect, the
guard was withdrawn,
Another seizure was from the banking
house of Samuel Smith & Co, in Camp
street, General Butler having been informed that $50,000 in especie bad been removed
. from the mint tothe above house, be ar. rested the members of the firm and
took
possession of the bank, They asserted that
there waa but $14,000 in the bank, and that
General
Butler, however, soon brought them to
terms by giving them their choice between
producing the specie and going to Fort
Jackson. They showed that $54,000 were
concealed in the air chamber between the
brick wall and the vault. The money was
removed to the Custom House,

—Mr. Walter, the architect of the Capitol
extension, hae made a statement for the Fijnance Committee of the Senate of the estimated cost of preserving the incomplete
portions of the building. The eum thus required will be considerable, and it is urged
that economy requires, as the work is substantially near its completion, that it should
goon. The very extensive and expensive
machinery for the constraction may be rendered valueless by further delay in using it,
while materials in @ finished condition
. (dressed marble, iron castings, etc.,) are at
. hand, and need only to be put in place, The
. Committee on public buildings have ordered
. the contractors for the massive and complete iron of the dome to goon, It is argued by them that it had better be put in
place, rather than lie about expored to rend
