FBUO OUR SPECIAL CSRPRIPONDENT.
HzLz.A, M. T., Nov. 7th, 1865.
EDtrros Pr-GznrrLmxza: I have been much
pleased with the city of Helena and its hospitable
inhabitants. There as a freshnees and an energy 1
ahat the pace that bespeaks prosperity. Apoe
caries' scales are not in use for weighing gold, and 1
your money goes into a bag which it is no falsehood I
to call a sack. The perfect network of gulches-
Grizzly, Oro Fino, Nelson, Last Chance, Holmes's, i
Dry and Tucker's-are interlocked, as it were, and
have yielded, as they will still continue to do, huge i
sums of money. In the pay-dirt on the claim of 1
Capt. Shannon, in Grizzly, the gold can be SEEN in 4
the earth, before it is washed. On inquiring of P. 1
Morehouse, whom I selected hap-hazard, while work
ing at his claim, No. 4 below discovery, in Grizzly
Gulch, I found that he had taken out $30 to the
hand in summer, and his claim, though nearly worked
out, now yields $9 to the hand; $6, $7 and $8 are
common all over the country, at this season. Mount
ing "Dixie," hitherto sacred to the bestraddlement
of Charley Curtis, we rode up Oro Fino, and turned
of towards Tucker's to see an arastra erected by
Messrs. Geer and Vaughan. The mill, which is on I
the Millionaire, is not working, as some improve
ment in the saving process is being arranged; but it
is well constructed. I left there and travelled over
a lonely and romantic succession of wooded parks
and beautiful mountains, to Dunphy and Bentley's
steam sawamill, and realized the absurdity of aris
tocracy. We saw that the "first cut" was always
a "slab." ' Dixie" going through the kitten-and
mouse drill all the time, we arrived at Whitlatch's
buildings, and went on up the hill to the "Doctor
Biggar "-may the prototype never grow less-the
lode is big enough. The shaft is eighty-five feet
deep, and the dump pile shows noble quartz. "The
'Union' forever !" we exclaimed, after an investi
gation of that lode. The old inclined shaft on this
ledge is one hundred and twenty feet, following the
dip of the crevice. This is being excavated and runs
north and south. Drifting is done from a point where
a perpendicular shaft of sixty feet strikes it on the
crevice, and is headed east and west. At the present
time, five feet of crevice is discernible at the western
end. The eastern is just started, and the timbering
is nearly a foot square. I saw some splendid quartz,
spangled thickly, with gold, and brought off some
which I picked out, myself, in the drift. The dump
pile speaks for itself. It is plainly auriferous, and
although " blind quartz," may be rich, quartz in
which gold can be seen must be good to a certain
extent. The "Union," which is honestly devel
oped, is the best property in the Last Chance coun
try. Mr. Brown, the fortunate Scotchman, who,
after being a locater of the Comstock, has struck
the " Uncle Sam," can, indeed, show nuggets to any
required amount, at present; but it is certain that
the " Union" lode contains many a solid fortune
within its wall-rocks, and that Mr. Whitlatch can
fetch them out.
On the "Owyhee," Professor Hodge has a large
interest, and is driving a tunnel into the hill in order
to strike the lode low. From the appearance of the
quarts on the dump, the experiment will be a profit
able one.
On the " sultanas" lode, located at tue ead o
Grizzly. on the divide between it and Nelson, Mr.
Richard Fisher has erected a ten-stamp mill, which
will be at work, reducing the rich quartz of the lode
some time during next week. His partner, Mr.
Clifford,was Superintendent for a New York Company,
and directed the work of five mills in Georgia, before
the war. The Confederates having confiscated the
property, he migrated to Colorado, and stayed in the
mines for five years, after which he came hither and
will now bend his undivided energies to the task
before him.
Returning home on our India rubber steed we got
a most enchanting glimpse, through the rocky por
tals of Grizzly, of a part of Helena, the most con
spicuous feature being Lissner's--the Fountain
Restaurant. Heading up hill, with my guide, I rode
to a point not previously visited by equestrians,
from which the town can be seen as plainly as eggs
in a basket. The three divisions of the place could
be easily traced, and the traffic of the town and the
results of the energy of the people were before our
eyes. We rode down the mountain, and relieved
Dixie of a pretty solid load, upon which that sensi
ble beast went off in a business like manner to din
ner. We followed suit to the Totten House, where
we have enjoyed the bountiful hospitality of the
Captain since our arrival'at Helena. The number of
guests is very large, and the whole establishment is
a great credit to the courteous proprietor. I hope
to have the pleasure of speaking again of my further
explorations in a future issue of your paper.
The city of Helena is a marvel. It has sprung up
almost like Jonah's Gourd-in a night; but its de
cay is apparently impossible. Agricultural, mineral
and local resources are there in abundance, and the
folks who live in it are liberal, as well as business
like, in their ways. We shall take leave of it with
regret, and hope to see it again soon. In all my
rambles I must not forget Helena.
Yours, sincerely, D.

Halifax, Oct. 26.
Arrests of the members of the Fenian brotherhood I
and their examination and committal for trial still
continue in Ireland. A number of documents have
been obtained from Americans, who are largely mixed
up in the proceedings against the Fenians. The
number of Fenians who are awaiting trial is daily
augmenting.
A dispatch from Rome states that the French
army of occupation will concentrate at Rome, Civita
Yecchia and Victorbo in January.
The banks of Sardinia and Tuscany are to be con

It is reported that several of the Roman govern

The cholera was raging fearfully at Madrid, and a
general panic prevailed in consequence.
New Orleans, Oct. 25.
An additional force will be ordered to Shreveport,
North Louisiana, on account of a threatened negro
insurrection. Eforts are made tqdisabuse the negroes
of wrong impressions made upon them.
The Times Matamoras correspondent of the 18th
says: Cortinas and Caoules have 2,500 men and
twelve cannon. The foreign pickets were driven up
and pursued almost into the town by Cortinas. For
five months there had been a repetition of these
scenes. Cortinas, with .a force estimated at from
300 to 500, keeps Matamorms so closely besieged that
no one dare stir an inch beyond the fortilcations.
There is no communication with Bagdad, except by
the other side of the river, and none at all with
Monterey and the interior.
Gen. Mejia has ordered all communication with
Brpwnsrille to be cloeednd chapparelto be levelled
for artillery. Meji has about 1,700 men, well
armed and equipped, but he lacks oiers and gunners.
The native po iao are decidedly in favor of the
Liberals. It is believed that the Liberal force is
greatly exaggerated, and at is hadly thought that
they will assalt the town; bt ill probably bee

The Herald's speciy from Toronto says: The
Fenian excitement increases. Great activity is man
ifested in military circles, and drills, inspections,
enrolling volunteers, etc., is going on. Many sol
diers in the regular regiments are deserting and going
to the States; many are believed to be Fenians.
Many Scotchmen are joining the Order in Montreal.

Gov. Sharkey's first order to the militia is that they
shall search the houses of rreedmen for arms and
ammunition. The search has commenced, and any
negro who may have in his possession a shot gun or
other arms is compelled to give it up.
The authorities of Brooklyn, Chelsea and Jersey
City are adopting precautionary measures against the
introduction of cholera.
The Central Bank Note Company have finished the
engravings of the bonds of the Irish Republic, ano
thorised to be issued by the Fenian Congres, recently
in session at Philadelphia. The epeciale copies
which have been shown present a very handsome ap
pearance, and it is said they are proof against the
arts of counterfeiters. The public sale of the bonds
is expected to commence in two weeks. They bear
six per cent. interest, payable at the capital of the
Irish Republic, and are redeemable six months after
the independence of the Irish nation is acknowl
edged. The Fenian Senate had established finance.
military, naval and civil bureaus, and transacted
other important business relative to the organization
in America and Ireland.
Chief Justice Chase spoke at the reception of the
English capitalists last evening, and said he believed
the present differences between England and America
could be settled without loss of honor to either of
the parties.
The ex-rebel Gen. Imboden is in this city, arrang

Richmond.
General Ortega will shortly leave this city for
Mexico, to assume the administration of the affairs
of the Republic.
Gov. Perry's message, which was read before the
Legislature to-day, says that, though his appoint
ment was made several months after that of other
provisional Governors, yet South Carolina is now as
far advanced in reconstruction as any other State.
He alludes to the new constitution as popular and
democratic, thus inspiring the people with seal and
energy in developing the resources of the State, and
recommends fostering intehal improvements and
manufactures, and the encouragement of foreign
emigration. Northern friends are invited to come.
The election of electors for President of the United
States, he says, should be given to the people, and
an early day was to be fixed for the election of mem
bers to Congress. Should those who are eleeted be in
Washington with their credentials, when the clerk
calls the rolls, they cannot be excluded any more
than those from Massachusetts. No man from South
Carolina can take theooath without perjury. It is
not the policy of the President to enforce this, and
he believes it is not the policy of Congress. An
election is necessary fpr two United States Senators,
one for six years from the 3d of March last, and one

BT the Lo-Lo trail, Lewiston is said to be but little
over two hundred miles from Hell Gate. It is among
the oldest mountain trails, and is the one by which
Lewis and Clarke crossed the Bitter Root Mountains
about sixty years ago. A few trains passed over it
this fall, but it has generally been pronounced, from
its great ruggedness, impracticable. A packer most
emphatically describes its character by saying that
" most of the way, if a pack falling from the hind
most animal did not bight on the head of the man
riding the bell-mare, the train would bea long one."
A COMPANY has been organized in Boston and New
York, with a capital of $6,000,000. to transport
freight between the Missouri and the Rocky Moun

insures success. On the return trips, the trains can
leave coal along the route, at piac is convenient for
replenishing fuel when coming out. A thirty-two
ton engine is now being constructed for the purpose.
If this enterprise is successful, it will work a com
plete revolution in the freighting business. By the
use of these engines, it is said, trains can cross in eiZ
days. Mule and cattle trains occupy from forty-five
to sixty.

are represented by local organs-the " Statesman,"
of Walla Walla, the "Advertiser," of Umatilla, and
the "Mountaineer," of Dalles. The " Radiator,"
of Lewiston, has been completely " carried off with
its subject"--that is, it is now en route for Blackfoot
City or Helena. The " Mountaineer " very sensibly
remarks that " some one should be selected from the
various routes for the immediate establishment of a
wagon road." Let the Mullen Road be the one
selected, as its location is such that it would be
available to all.
Tan St. Joseph " Herald," of the 19th alt., gives
the shocking details of forty persons being poisend
in Shiloh, Randolph county, Ill.. by having corro
sive sublimate, a deadly poison, administered to them
in calomel, by Dra. Campbell and Minner, of that
place. In seven cases, at the latest advices, thepoi
son had proved fatal, and the others, it was feared,
would not survive. One of the victims was a sister
of Dr. Campbell. The local druggist was not blame
ble, as the compound was put up in the usual way
of, and labeled as, calomel, and had not been tam
e red with since leaving the wholesale house in St.
Louis. The St. Louis druggist beng a direct ie
porter, the corrosive sublimate might have been pat
into the calomel in Europe. If it was, it is fright
ful to think of the poesible consequences in other
parts of the country. We hope the person through
whose carelessness, if nothing worse, sash fatal eon
sequences have occurred, be he on this or the other
side of the Atlantic, will be identified and penished
by having his name placed before the world infa
mously, if jhere should be no punishment provided
by law. We chronicled, in our last, a death that had
occurred in Nevada from criminal negligence or
ignorance on the part of a medicine vender. In the
case above recited, hundreds may lose their lives.
