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, AN ARTESIAN WeLL.—The artesian well . at Colambus, Ohio, bas reached the depth of two thousand three bundred and thirty. nine feet andten inches—-four feet two . inches deeper than any other well in the . world!

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, Bens. F. Burien, Major General Commanding, On the same day of the seizure at the { . . . .

Consulate of the Netherlands, a guard was 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, —_—— Tue Carrro. Buona at Wasurnoton. —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 ond denger of accident.—[Sae.
