Epiror Transcrret—Revenue is obtained forthe United States Government in two ways. One, by tax upon articles imported from foreign coutries, and the other by tax upon articles made in this country—in other words, these are the two modes by which this Government levies a tariff. The Internal Revenue tariff arose from the exigencies of war, which demanded an immense income to carry it on; and hence arose the tax en tobacco, whiskey and all classes of ‘liquors. The times of the war ‘were. terrible, times that strained the pockets,the energies and courage of the people to their utmost-tension ; but now peace smiles upon our land, and rifle and sword are turned into ploughshare and reaper, and used-in fields of grain instead of fields of battles: The war left an immense debt, which compelled us to continue the to pay the current expenses of tlie Government. But a change has taken place. A large part of this debt has been paid, and an immense surplus accumulates every year and the question arises: How shall we dispose of-it? Shall we take off a part of the'tax, and leave this surplus in the hands of the people, or shall. we decrease the amount of our circulation, and ‘hoard gold in the coffers of the Government oy 6. uy a ——— “ pany, from the Superintendent at the mine, fourteen miles north-east of this city, states that the shaft, which is over 300 feet. deep, after passing through stratas of pay gravel and sedimentary deposits containing petrified or agatized wood, leaves, etc., is now in soft, wet, running ground requiring close timbering. He ran-a long crowbar down into it out of sight. The rich gravel deposit next to the bedrock is.expected to-bereached—almost any day. The new water. power hoisting and pumping machinery was operating splendidly and doing first-class work, until within the past few days, when the snowstorm came blockading ‘the ditch and stopping the supply of water which is used to run the pumping and hoisting machinery. The pump could only run eight strokes to the minute under the most favorable circumstances, and at this rate it just han»+ dled the water ordinarily coming into the shaft. Consequently since the storm began, occasioning interruptions, the shaft would during the stoppage of the machinery fill up at the rate of twenty feet an hour. After experiencing several set-backs of the kind Superintendent Richards came to the conclusion thatto try and keep” running would be a waste of the stockholders’ money. He put everything in shape, and yesterday. suspended work till such time as the winter storms cease. \ ag ; “Uncle Tom's Cabin’ at Reno. Horace Ewing’s New Uncle Tom Company, -which appears at the Theater in this city onnext Monday and Tuesday evenings, was greeted by a large house in Reno Monday night. Speaking of the performance, the Gazette adds: ‘Mr. Ewing, the proprietor, has lived in Washoe county. years ata time, and was in charge ofthe Virginia and Gold Hill Water Com“—pany’s pipes and ditches between Mar«*-lette-Lake.-and---Lakeview.--for-some time. He worked against Uncle Jimmy Fair when he ran for the Senate, and after the election he had to go. R. C. White, the stage manager, is the pioneer theatrical man in Nevada, haying built in 1859 in Virginia City the first theaterin the State. He is: still hale and active, with many years ahead yet.” Traveling on Runners. The Nevada City and Eurega stages are now going on runners between the latter place and the Backbone House. The deepest snow on the route is at a point called Sugar Leaf where — it-is drifted to a depth of seven feet. It is three feet deep at the town of Eureka, having fallen there to that depth on Wednesday, which* was the 19th.’ It isan interesting fact. that the first heavy storm there last winter also occurred on the 19th, of January, and that the fall then was just the same as on the 19th of this month. A Fine Special Edition. ‘The Oakland Daily Tribune has isr an edition of 46 bound pages coning matter descriptive of the reurces, climate, topography, products, schools, manufactures, railroad facilities, business enterprises, cities and towns and villages of Alameda'‘county. Several fine maps are included in the ublication, which is a great credit to r. Dargie, the enterprising proprietor of the Tribune. ° Pana AORN A a i EA The Rapidity of Progress Toward Health. : Even when a . ate remedy for disease is selected, depends in some measure u the manner in which it is taken. ar,interru doses can afford no fair test of the efficacy of any medicine, however salutary.

Uncle Sam don’t need it for either interest or bonds or current expenses, which are the legitimate debts of the country? Or shall we seek out some new investment for this surplus? Opinions vary as widely as the questions; and each has its ardent advocate. Certainly the revenue ought to be decreased, but not before all things essential to guard that revenue are themselves first done. We possess one of the richest countries under the sun, and cities within which are gathered the abundant tieasures of the world, and beforé which the wonders of Alladin’s lamp grow pale—and all without a guard. Washington, our National Capitol, with all our hundreds of millions of Governmental wealth, sits sleeping by the waters of the Potomac in fancied security, forgetful of the fact that she was sacked by a foreign foe in the war of 1812. New York and Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston, San-Francisco, New Orleans and Mobile—what untold billions of gold could be wrung from those cities by the fleet of some covetous, powerful robber-king, whose avarice, excited by our wealth and the ease with which he could appropriate it without danger to himself, would sail his ironclads into our harbors and levy a tribute. ~ Impecunious Russia, trying today to borrow money in Europe, could place her ships of war in our ports, demand millions at the cannon’s mouth, and sail away rich in spoils, laughing at the great Republic which was simple enough to believe that.czars or kings have any international honor. Those kings in Europe know each other, and they remain armed to the teeth constantly, for each other, knowing that their safety is in being able at all times to meet a foe, no matter how strong it may be, Would a czar, who covets Bulgaria, Turkey, and all Asia, be any the less avaricious, when he looked on the sea than.when he looked on the land? Itis but‘a short time since when that proud magnate, Prince Bismarck, showed his contempt for us and our prowess. Even little Chile, of South America, had an Admiral Lynch who fairly itched to plunder San Francisco, and rob her of her millions of hoarded wealth ; and had Chile béen anywhere near our equal in population.it is likely he would have dared to accomplish his desire. Wealthy beyond computation, great in resources, skilled in arts and _sciences, ahead of the world in railroads and _telegraphy, educated and _prosperous, we sit upon’ the oceans, peaceful and happy, without athought of danger, believing that because our internal wars are ended we are safe. Yes) safe from nations whose armed feet are heard tramping on every hill top and valley of Europe, and whose fleets are foud in every sea. ; Until our war we looked abroad for foes, and were prepared for them with an excellent navy; but since the war, oh, mistaken blindness! we think there is no danger except from each other. 3 Let us be honest with ourselves,and answer to ourselves the question: Where is there a nation so rich as we that can so easily be plundered \and with so little danger to the plunderer? Conscious of our own peaceful intentions, we credit the armed and robberkings of Europe with like gentle feelings toward us., The highway robber does not fear the power ofthe Government, because he hopes to escape pun‘ishment, but-he does fear. the armed strength of his victim and watches to catch him unawares and off his guard. The American people are off their guard today. Their immense. land’ power and strength would be useless against the navy of any one of the European powers, or even against little . Chile.’ The strength of the elephant would be worthless against the strength Coast DerENsE.cE For Rent. ‘A hard-finistied house of five rooms, Conveniently located. Will be rented at $10 per month.

The Grass Union of yesterday says: Advices just received from London leave but little doubt that the Allison Ranch mine of this district will soon pass into the hands of a company that is being organized in that city. The purchase money for the property has been guaranteed, and it is believed that sufficient: of the stock will soon be placed to raise an ample working fund. The parties in interest are not the same who were negotiating in France last season to organize a company to take property. The Allison Ranch mine is highly regarded by mining men who are familiar with its history. During the days of its successful operation it produced in gold hullion over $3,200,000, and was not worked below 500 feet on the incline of the vein, and work was stopped because of reduced product and the inability of the machinery for deep working. At that time miners were of the opinion that the richest _of the quartz veins of the, district were confined principally to superficial depths, 300 to 400 feet, and that deep working would not pay. Later expérience has proven the fallacy of this theory, as shown in the case of the Idaho, which is. worked 2,200 feeton the incline, and the mpire and North Star, respectively 1500 and 1600 feet, all of which have found rich and profitable quartz at that depth. There is every reason to believe that the Allison Ranch mine yet contains a great store of. wealth, as there is a large extent of ground that has not yet been opened, and the last working of the mine ‘left goud pay ore in sight. POR petition was presented asking a streetlight at the junction of Coyote and Church streets,.in frdnt of Grissell’s stage. stable, the residents of that section agreeing to furnish the post and lamp provided the city will furnish the gas used. The petition was granted. ~ Tt .was ordered that the hydrant on Boulder street in front of W. Holmes’ stable and the one on the alley in front of Lincoln schoolhouse be moved back out of the roadway. The chairman of the Street Committee was authorized to have made a survey of the unoccupied land near the Catholic cemetery in the western pa of the city. ; g : COMMITTEES APPOINTED, Street: Sukeforth (chairman), Locklin, Robinson. The Honduras Mines. ‘A prospector recently returned from Honduras has the following to say of the mining outlook inthat State: ‘It has valuable mines, but they are inaccessible. Thereare no roads and for many miles the only means of gravel is on the back of an Indian carrier, who journeys over trails often not wider than two feet, and if he were to step aside it would be over precipices 1,000 feet high. There are telegraph lines through the country, but they belong to the Goverment and were established for military purposes. The topography is too rough for railroad purposes ; however much they may be encouraged by President Bogran none are liable to place their money in the country. There are Americans there now, but I cannot say how well they are doing.”’ 0 0 @e oe “A Littie Farm Well Tilled."* (Contra Costa Gazette.)

A pispatcH-from Washington says: Consul. Figglemesy, writing from Demarara, under the date of December 9th, says there isa great development in gold mining in British Guiana, but no quartz or gold-bearing ledges have yet been discovered. All the gold collected up to the present time is found in the rivers and creeks by washing. About 3,000 people, mostly colored and inexperienced, are in the interior prospecting. The climate is very unhealthy, especially to the whites. The Consul mentions two Californians who have been very successful in their operations, but fails to give their names, He says that $16,000 in gold was exported to England in 1855. Last year the exportations were increased to $350,000, and he thinks this year’s exportations will reach probably $2,000,000. He says the new industry promises‘to be a good one. * . Just Arrived.

The Internal Revenue tariff arose from the exigencies of war, which demanded an immense income to carry it on; and hence arose the tax en tobacco, whiskey and all classes of ‘liquors. The times of the war ‘were. terrible, times that strained the pockets,the energies and courage of the people to their utmost-tension ; but now peace smiles upon our land, and rifle and sword are turned into ploughshare and reaper, and used-in fields of grain instead of fields of battles: The war left an immense debt, which compelled us to continue the to pay the current expenses of tlie Government. But a change has taken place. A large part of this debt has been paid, and an immense surplus accumulates every year and the question arises: How shall we dispose of-it? Shall we take off a part of the'tax, and leave this surplus in the hands of the people, or shall. we decrease the amount of our circulation, and ‘hoard gold in the coffers of the Government oy 6. uy a ——— “ pany, from the Superintendent at the mine, fourteen miles north-east of this city, states that the shaft, which is over 300 feet. deep, after passing through stratas of pay gravel and sedimentary deposits containing petrified or agatized wood, leaves, etc., is now in soft, wet, running ground requiring close timbering. He ran-a long crowbar down into it out of sight. The rich gravel deposit next to the bedrock is.expected to-bereached—almost any day. The new water. power hoisting and pumping machinery was operating splendidly and doing first-class work, until within the past few days, when the snowstorm came blockading ‘the ditch and stopping the supply of water which is used to run the pumping and hoisting machinery. The pump could only run eight strokes to the minute under the most favorable circumstances, and at this rate it just han»+ dled the water ordinarily coming into the shaft. Consequently since the storm began, occasioning interruptions, the shaft would during the stoppage of the machinery fill up at the rate of twenty feet an hour. After experiencing several set-backs of the kind Superintendent Richards came to the conclusion thatto try and keep” running would be a waste of the stockholders’ money. He put everything in shape, and yesterday. suspended work till such time as the winter storms cease. \ ag ; “Uncle Tom's Cabin’ at Reno. Horace Ewing’s New Uncle Tom Company, -which appears at the Theater in this city onnext Monday and Tuesday evenings, was greeted by a large house in Reno Monday night. Speaking of the performance, the Gazette adds: ‘Mr. Ewing, the proprietor, has lived in Washoe county. years ata time, and was in charge ofthe Virginia and Gold Hill Water Com“—pany’s pipes and ditches between Mar«*-lette-Lake.-and---Lakeview.--for-some time. He worked against Uncle Jimmy Fair when he ran for the Senate, and after the election he had to go. R. C. White, the stage manager, is the pioneer theatrical man in Nevada, haying built in 1859 in Virginia City the first theaterin the State. He is: still hale and active, with many years ahead yet.” Traveling on Runners. The Nevada City and Eurega stages are now going on runners between the latter place and the Backbone House. The deepest snow on the route is at a point called Sugar Leaf where — it-is drifted to a depth of seven feet. It is three feet deep at the town of Eureka, having fallen there to that depth on Wednesday, which* was the 19th.’ It isan interesting fact. that the first heavy storm there last winter also occurred on the 19th, of January, and that the fall then was just the same as on the 19th of this month.

Uncle Sam don’t need it for either interest or bonds or current expenses, which are the legitimate debts of the country? Or shall we seek out some new investment for this surplus? Opinions vary as widely as the questions; and each has its ardent advocate. Certainly the revenue ought to be decreased, but not before all things essential to guard that revenue are themselves first done. We possess one of the richest countries under the sun, and cities within which are gathered the abundant tieasures of the world, and beforé which the wonders of Alladin’s lamp grow pale—and all without a guard. Washington, our National Capitol, with all our hundreds of millions of Governmental wealth, sits sleeping by the waters of the Potomac in fancied security, forgetful of the fact that she was sacked by a foreign foe in the war of 1812. New York and Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston, San-Francisco, New Orleans and Mobile—what untold billions of gold could be wrung from those cities by the fleet of some covetous, powerful robber-king, whose avarice, excited by our wealth and the ease with which he could appropriate it without danger to himself, would sail his ironclads into our harbors and levy a tribute. ~ Impecunious Russia, trying today to borrow money in Europe, could place her ships of war in our ports, demand millions at the cannon’s mouth, and sail away rich in spoils, laughing at the great Republic which was simple enough to believe that.czars or kings have any international honor. Those kings in Europe know each other, and they remain armed to the teeth constantly, for each other, knowing that their safety is in being able at all times to meet a foe, no matter how strong it may be, Would a czar, who covets Bulgaria, Turkey, and all Asia, be any the less avaricious, when he looked on the sea than.when he looked on the land? Itis but‘a short time since when that proud magnate, Prince Bismarck, showed his contempt for us and our prowess. Even little Chile, of South America, had an Admiral Lynch who fairly itched to plunder San Francisco, and rob her of her millions of hoarded wealth ; and had Chile béen anywhere near our equal in population.it is likely he would have dared to accomplish his desire. Wealthy beyond computation, great in resources, skilled in arts and _sciences, ahead of the world in railroads and _telegraphy, educated and _prosperous, we sit upon’ the oceans, peaceful and happy, without athought of danger, believing that because our internal wars are ended we are safe. Yes) safe from nations whose armed feet are heard tramping on every hill top and valley of Europe, and whose fleets are foud in every sea. ; Until our war we looked abroad for foes, and were prepared for them with an excellent navy; but since the war, oh, mistaken blindness! we think there is no danger except from each other. 3 Let us be honest with ourselves,and answer to ourselves the question: Where is there a nation so rich as we that can so easily be plundered \and with so little danger to the plunderer? Conscious of our own peaceful intentions, we credit the armed and robberkings of Europe with like gentle feelings toward us., The highway robber does not fear the power ofthe Government, because he hopes to escape pun‘ishment, but-he does fear. the armed strength of his victim and watches to catch him unawares and off his guard. The American people are off their guard today. Their immense. land’ power and strength would be useless against the navy of any one of the European powers, or even against little . Chile.’ The strength of the elephant would be worthless against the strength Coast DerENsE.cE For Rent. ‘A hard-finistied house of five rooms, Conveniently located. Will be rented at $10 per month.

The Grass Union of yesterday says: Advices just received from London leave but little doubt that the Allison Ranch mine of this district will soon pass into the hands of a company that is being organized in that city. The purchase money for the property has been guaranteed, and it is believed that sufficient: of the stock will soon be placed to raise an ample working fund. The parties in interest are not the same who were negotiating in France last season to organize a company to take property. The Allison Ranch mine is highly regarded by mining men who are familiar with its history. During the days of its successful operation it produced in gold hullion over $3,200,000, and was not worked below 500 feet on the incline of the vein, and work was stopped because of reduced product and the inability of the machinery for deep working. At that time miners were of the opinion that the richest _of the quartz veins of the, district were confined principally to superficial depths, 300 to 400 feet, and that deep working would not pay. Later expérience has proven the fallacy of this theory, as shown in the case of the Idaho, which is. worked 2,200 feeton the incline, and the mpire and North Star, respectively 1500 and 1600 feet, all of which have found rich and profitable quartz at that depth. There is every reason to believe that the Allison Ranch mine yet contains a great store of. wealth, as there is a large extent of ground that has not yet been opened, and the last working of the mine ‘left goud pay ore in sight. POR petition was presented asking a streetlight at the junction of Coyote and Church streets,.in frdnt of Grissell’s stage. stable, the residents of that section agreeing to furnish the post and lamp provided the city will furnish the gas used. The petition was granted. ~ Tt .was ordered that the hydrant on Boulder street in front of W. Holmes’ stable and the one on the alley in front of Lincoln schoolhouse be moved back out of the roadway. The chairman of the Street Committee was authorized to have made a survey of the unoccupied land near the Catholic cemetery in the western pa of the city. ; g : COMMITTEES APPOINTED, Street: Sukeforth (chairman), Locklin, Robinson. The Honduras Mines. ‘A prospector recently returned from Honduras has the following to say of the mining outlook inthat State: ‘It has valuable mines, but they are inaccessible. Thereare no roads and for many miles the only means of gravel is on the back of an Indian carrier, who journeys over trails often not wider than two feet, and if he were to step aside it would be over precipices 1,000 feet high. There are telegraph lines through the country, but they belong to the Goverment and were established for military purposes. The topography is too rough for railroad purposes ; however much they may be encouraged by President Bogran none are liable to place their money in the country.

A pispatcH-from Washington says: Consul. Figglemesy, writing from Demarara, under the date of December 9th, says there isa great development in gold mining in British Guiana, but no quartz or gold-bearing ledges have yet been discovered. All the gold collected up to the present time is found in the rivers and creeks by washing. About 3,000 people, mostly colored and inexperienced, are in the interior prospecting. The climate is very unhealthy, especially to the whites. The Consul mentions two Californians who have been very successful in their operations, but fails to give their names, He says that $16,000 in gold was exported to England in 1855.
