At five different places between these points, companies are mow at work taking out silver ore. and the vein bas been strack in a number of other places. Nota foot of any ofthis ground could be purchased for less than five or stx hundred dollars, . and much of it wonld sell for as many thousands. He thinks thatthe prices now raling for the ground are much below the intrinsic valae. In the Walsh claims they bavea lead of silver ore a foot thick, the most of comes richer and heavier the deeper they go down. Silver ore bas been found ina number of other leads, but none of theracan com pare with the Comstock for richness. The Phoenix lead and the Desert lead, located some miles east of Gold Hill, assay from $400 to $1,200 of silver to the ton. A vein of stone-coal, situated a few miles east of Virginia City, was discovered and taken up a few weeks ago, by Wm. Lindsey, formerly . of this county. The vein has not yet been tested, but is believed to be valuable, Mr, Webber is not very favorably impressed with . Washoe asa country to live in.

' ficiency ia the various branches of study ; t dent declares that the lede “a fo@t thick ". ceas of our cause) we sacrifice no principle in acquiescing cheerfully in the decision of the Convention, should that decision declare @ preference for any other leader of our party. The old, time houored phrase “ priociples, not men,” has become an axiom of the true Democracy of the Union ; aud in common with the mass of that great party, we deem it a cardinal duty of al! those who claim to affiliate with us, that personal preference should yield at all times to the general good of the whole. i The crisis at present existing in the affairs of the nation, mere especially mow than at any other time, demands that every trae Democrat should voluntarily come forward and yield up his own opinions, in mere matters of policy, and with heart and foul devote his energies to the harmony and covcestration of our organization, for the perpetuity of our glorious institutions. Strife and discord should cease, especially when no sacrifice of principle, nor yet even of expediency, is demanded of those who may have temporarily differed with us upou questions of policy.; The deor is open to all who may have been led partially astray from the local organizations of the party, for none bave presumed to deny the legitimacy or the autherity of the Charleston Convention, asthe grand arbiter, the supreme council upon all questiens of principle, policy and expedieucy. If there be such, then are they . not of us, nor can they be with us. Its de-! cision must in the nature of things—be final . and conclusive, and frem it there lies no! appeal. i We trurt then, that when the next news . from the East conveys to us the decisicn of . our assembled delegates at Charleston, California will onee more be found standing beside her sister States of the confederacy, with undivided front in the cunse of Democracy, firm and defiaat against the attacks . of that enemy which now threatens the peace of the Union. There can be two par. ties only. Men must tuke sides either for . the nominee of the Charleston Conventien, . or of the Chicago Convention. There is no. intermediate course for Deinocrats to pursae . by whatever name thes may choose to desig. nate themselves, But if they refuse to support the peminee of our National Convention . they mast cease to claim the appellation . of Detnocrats. We hope then to hear one general shout . ef rejoicing go up thronghout this State for mentally disordered, sq that some of their most gifted and best book-learnt mea, in terpret that portion of the declaration of independence, reading “ all men are made free and equal,” to refer to the negro—no less than to the white man. First, it is witcheralt, then itis “ blue-laws,” making it an unpardonable sin for a man to kiss his wife on Sunday, then it is “-whisky,’’ then itis “ spirituality, free-love and moral affinity,” then itis * freedom” and “ irrepressible conflict,”’ and at last the “ nigger ”’ is cannovized. Zducation is thought te consist of knowing how to read and write—great plains must be cultivated, when the alluvial bottom is unoccupied. Great zeal 's felt in elevating the Indian, Negro, Chinaman and other monstrous variations of the genus homo, in the scaie of civilization, while the physical condition of their own kindred and neighbors is one of hardsbip, suffering and want. Tear the Yankee frem his fanaticism and he isa good and exalted animal in every respect. In the Soutb, the West, and in California, he bas lost his financial distinction ; and in capacity, energy, courage, reliable commun-sense, and progressive enter— priee, he is a compliment to his species. Break up his nest in and about Mussachusette—get him away from his shoes, his spindles, his clothes, pin and button factories, let him ventilate, come to the great West, mix with others rather than his own people, get a view of Chinamen, Diggers, Kanakas, etc., and he wil] leurn to value his own ®pecies more and negroes less, and be willcease to annoy the moral and peliticul element of bis country with silly vagaries. * Accipents at RovGu axp Reapy.—On Wednesday last, Henry Decker was instantly killed by the caving of a bank in Fisher's diggings, on Randolph Hill. Tbe manner of bia death was singular and unnosual. He was on top of the bank prying off a cave with a crow-bar, when the earth started.

At five different places between these points, companies are mow at work taking out silver ore. and the vein bas been strack in a number of other places. Nota foot of any ofthis ground could be purchased for less than five or stx hundred dollars, . and much of it wonld sell for as many thousands.

In the Walsh claims they bavea lead of silver ore a foot thick, the most of comes richer and heavier the deeper they go down. Silver ore bas been found ina number of other leads, but none of theracan com pare with the Comstock for richness. The Phoenix lead and the Desert lead, located some miles east of Gold Hill, assay from $400 to $1,200 of silver to the ton. A vein of stone-coal, situated a few miles east of Virginia City, was discovered and taken up a few weeks ago, by Wm. Lindsey, formerly . of this county.

The old, time houored phrase “ priociples, not men,” has become an axiom of the true Democracy of the Union ; aud in common with the mass of that great party, we deem it a cardinal duty of al! those who claim to affiliate with us, that personal preference should yield at all times to the general good of the whole. i The crisis at present existing in the affairs of the nation, mere especially mow than at any other time, demands that every trae Democrat should voluntarily come forward and yield up his own opinions, in mere matters of policy, and with heart and foul devote his energies to the harmony and covcestration of our organization, for the perpetuity of our glorious institutions. Strife and discord should cease, especially when no sacrifice of principle, nor yet even of expediency, is demanded of those who may have temporarily differed with us upou questions of policy.; The deor is open to all who may have been led partially astray from the local organizations of the party, for none bave presumed to deny the legitimacy or the autherity of the Charleston Convention, asthe grand arbiter, the supreme council upon all questiens of principle, policy and expedieucy. If there be such, then are they . not of us, nor can they be with us.

There can be two par. ties only. Men must tuke sides either for . the nominee of the Charleston Conventien, . or of the Chicago Convention. There is no. intermediate course for Deinocrats to pursae . by whatever name thes may choose to desig. nate themselves, But if they refuse to support the peminee of our National Convention . they mast cease to claim the appellation . of Detnocrats.

Zducation is thought te consist of knowing how to read and write—great plains must be cultivated, when the alluvial bottom is unoccupied.
