We have received the following note from Prof. Ward, and are gratified to learn that the seriously implicating ru mors have no foundation in tact. Who, may be the "parties" referred to, we are unaware, as like an infection, the re ports seemed to be all around as soon as started. %\ e are pleased to bear wit ness that the conduct attributed to Prof. 1Ward was singularly at variance with his established reputation as a gentle man of law abiding proclivities. EDITOR POST : On coming into Vir ginia yesterday evening, I was much surplrised and chagrined to hear in the mouths of many of your townspeople. a report most prejudicial to myself and to my character as a law-abiding citizen. Report said that I hind gone with a force ,f men, armed with guns and other weapons,. to a certain mining claim, had torcibly driven away the workmen there engaged. and had taken possession with imy own men. This report, circulated with great anriduitv.and with seemingly malign intent, by a party who had every oppo,)rtunity to be aware of its falseness, is of too serious a nature for me to pass in silence. Let me at once deny it in tot,,. The facts are these : My neighbor. Mr. Isaacs. had express ed his intention to go to work immnedi ately on a certain part of the Boaz lode, which lie claimed as belonging to him by virtue of a certain lease, and which I ciil ilned as my own by purchase. W ish ing to gain a point by being myself first in possession of the property. I repaired there' at the early hour of five A. M., ac conmpanied by nine of my workmen, car rying picks. shovels, and other necessa ry tools.and went to work on the ground whlre we have been in busy labor and peaceful possession ever since. We tfoind no ,ne whatever at the mine, and thus did not, as stated of us, drive any one away. Early in the forenoon, three men from the other side did come to work there, but they comprehended the situation at once. and with much good humor acknowledged, as does Mr. Isaacs, that we were far too matinal for their stvle. So much for the story. There was no attack made or intend ed. nor indeed possible, since none but ourselves were there. And I wish to state distinctly that not one man of my little. party had any gun. pistol, sword. lance, spear, cannon, lub, bomb,. rocket or other wealsn of offense or defense, with him on the occasion. This is a thing which I would positively have forbidden. I note this with some em phasis and feeling. IIas not the moral sense of our Montana community been t.oo often and too rudely shocked of late by heart-sickening rencontres and mur ders which have followed the free dis play of fire-arnms, and their use in en deavoring to co)nquer by brute force, rights which the law ever stands ready to vindicate. Ged forbid that I should add the influence of one man towards countenancing these proceedures. My business as agent of the Midas Mining ('ompany, is mining. At present I am working the discovery claim on the BLoaz lode. Yours truly. HENRY A. \VARD. Midasburg, I)ec. 14, 1867. Mr. 11. 0. Morrill, of Baltimore, has constructed . minarvel"us clock. His ex tra time tor t!h last fourteen years has be.,n devoted to its perfection. The space necessary to display its capacity and operation is nine feet by eighteen feet. it runs eight days and performs as follows : It wakes up a household : strikes the quarters by four automatons on four bells; sounds the alarm to awa ken the master of the house; lights a lamp andt kindles the fire in the stove ; a carriage is seen coming along a moun tain road, calls at a place of business, and gets a clock left for repair ; the bell is rung to awake the servant, who rises in the presence of the audience, and draws the curtain of her chamber to make her toilet : the carriage is again seen upon the road ; when near a rocky covert a robber springs in front of tbe horses, and a fight ensues ; a farmer by the roadside, not seeing the robber.com mences to belabor the horses, when a hunter in the distance comprehends the situation, fires his rifle at the robber,who escapes to the mountain, and the car riage, with its inmates, drives on to its destination. MR. JOHN BROUGHAM, in a parting speech at the Olympic Theatre, New York, "reficected, in a charming vein of satirical humor, upon the present taste fer sensationalism; and he was under stood to intimate the design of searching the records of local atrocity, and furnish ing the public with a drama sufficiently horrible to be remunerative." The Salt ,Lake Telegrap of the 12th, says : Wells, Fargo & Co., turned out yesterday some splendid sleighs for the route north of this. Supt. Taylor is going to have that route splendid this winter. The sleighs are numbered and named after Parsons, Gillespie and Hen derson, three very eftient agents on the route. Those sleighs ought to be fast idiously elegant.
