A I AM Thk NEWS ?* drlivervd t?> Snb#erib?T* in (ioitl Hill, Virgiaia City, amlSilvtr city, ut Fifty <vnt* i??*r Our Relations Willi Mexico. The relations existing between the Vni'ed States Government and Mexico arc at present a matter of much public interest and importance. From a tele graphic dispatch, dated January 21st, we have the following substance of a letter from Secretary Seward to General Hanks, relative to Mexican affairs, and just pub lished : " At the present time we arc on terms of amity and friendship, and main t ining diplomatic relations with the Ke public of Mexico. AVe regard that coun trv as the theatre of foreign, mingled with t svil, strife. In this conflict we take no part. On the contrary, we practice abso lute non-intervention andnon interference. While in command of vhe frontier, it will devolve on you, as far as practicable con sistently with your otfccr duties, to pre vent aid or supplies being given from the I'nited States to either belligerents. You will defend citizens of the T'nitcd States in Mexico against any enemies, whether domestic or foreign. Nevertheless, you will not enter any part of Mexico, unless it be temporarily, and then clearly neces sary for the protection of your own lives against aggression from the Mcxicaa bor der, You can assume no authority in Mexico to protect citizens of the United States there, much less redress their wrongs or injuries committed against the Vnited States or their citizens, whether these wrongs ojr injuries were committed on one side of the border or the other. If our Consuls find their positions unsafe on the Mexican side of the SorcSer, let them leave the country rather than invoke the protection of our forces. These directions result from the fixed determination of the President to avoid any departure from lawful neutrality and any unnecessary and unlawful enlargement of the present field of war. At the same time you will be ex pected to watch the military and political events a? they occur in Mexico, and com municate all that shall bo important for this Government to understand concern ing them." The Aittttatnl Law. There is no portion of the law rcgulat- | ing proceedings in civil actions which ] causes as much discussion among the com- J munity at large, throughout almost every | State, as that concerning attachments, j The interests of debtors and creditors are j directly antagoulstical, and wf.nt is meat for one is poison to the other. So it ever has been, and probably ever will be, as I long as laws exist for the collection of | debts. An attachment law which suits I the creditor is always too stringent and j oppressive for the debtor's taste, and what is mild enough for the latter is too lax to please the former. As the law of the Territory now stands, the creditors are dissatisfied. Yesterday, in the House. Mr. Trask presented the following petition, praying for the passage of a more string ent attachment law : To the Legislature nf Nevada Territory : ? | The undersigned. residents and persons doing business in Nevada Territory, would respect fully represent : That the present attachment law of this Territory is a species of local legislation in favor of a particular class, debtors, and is often used by that class as an engine of fraud, to the great injury of another class, their creditors; that in a country where the floating phpulation is so large as it is in this Territory, the true interests of the community demand a more stringent attachment law than is con sidered necessary in communities where the population is settled and fixed ; that we have felt the inconvenience of the present attach ment law, and in many cases suffered pecu niary loss in consequence of the facilities it affords dishonest debtors in defrauding their creditors ; we would therefore petition your houorable body that it be changed and made to assimilate to the present California attach ment law. Signed by 29 persons. The Resurrectionists. ? We gave yesterday.in rough and unpolished phrase our view of the proposition now being mooted for the resurrection of the dead body of the Constitution. The I'nion thinks we have done injustice to some body in our remarks. We impugned the motives of those who took the lead in the slaughtering of that instrument, and who with willful misrepresentation and sense less claptrap, hounded on the opposition. We said they were a party of sore-headed, woraout political hacks. In that we were expressing no mere surmise, nor flinging loose and careless epithets. We simply stated a tact as plain and apparent as that the sun is not square. It, being true, was no injustice, and we cannot be expected to retract it. We said that if the people who four months ago voted unanimously for a State Government, and last week voted as unanimously against, should change their minds on the subject again next April or July, they were writing themselves as fickle, mindless asses and dolts. We say so still, and maintain that the proposition is irrefutable. If we made a mistake and attributed the attempted grave-digging to the wrong crowd, we oidy tramped on the toes of somebody who had their toes in a bad place. When we have committed an injustice we wQi make repa ration therefor ; but in this instance we don't see it. Correspondence. We give placo to day to a communica tiot from a friend at Como. We know the writer well, and his earnest disinter tstneas and patriotic desire that this peo ple should occupy the sovereign capacity of citizens of a State, entitles his commu nication to a respectful consideration. For reasons, however, stated yesterday we dissent decidedly from the course proposed by him. Let, at least, a sufficient time elapse to give some appearance of a con siderate conviction. Four months ago the people decided unanimously for a State Government. To-day they have decided unanimously against it. A few months hence, should they declare in fa vor of it again, they would present a pic ture of fickleness and indecision that would justly expose them to the jeers and scoffs of Christendom. 'The Courts. Jtdoe Lecoset's Coibt had nothing m->re interesting before it to-day than a few c i?et of drunkenness. Maw? 1 1 i i_ywi 1 * 1 PROSPECTIVE. The Winter has passed its turning point. | The suncach day passes a longer time above the horizon, and the lengthening | days give token of approaching Spring. ! Although, thus far, we have had but little of that kind of weather, the idea of which 1 is usuallv associated with that of winter, vet that season is invariably one of stagna tion to a greater or less extent. During the winter the climate is uncertain and | unreliable, and enterprises projected in the j fall, which involve the necessity of heavy transportation and extensive out-door la j bor, are always postponed until spring. | Enterprises of that character, almost with < out number, are now lying in abeyance in j every district in the Territory, and most numerous and most extensive in this locali ty. The Gold Hill District is now, and must ; remain for a long time, if pot perpetually, i the region of the most extensive mining ; operations in the Territory. Its extent is great, its richness already established, and its prospecting days are past. Each shaft sinking, and each tunnel now drifting, is sinking and drifting towards a certaint) . With those whose title to their claims is ! unquestionable, the possession of a paying i mine is merely a question of time. Such | being the ease, those who have confidence 1 in their titles are hastening to place their I mines in adequate working condition. Wherever we meet with such a company, : and find it working by the slow meons of ' windlass or whim, and with the limited ! number of men that those slow hoisting | works can keep employed, we find that j they have made, or are about making ar I rangements for the erection of extensive j steam hoisting machinery in the spring, as i soon as the advanced season gives securi i tv of good roads for its transportation | across the SierTas. That spring time is i now rapidly approaching, and two months more at the farthest will see the advance ! teams of the heavy trains loaded with the I huge engines and ponderous machinery : and timbers required in the prosecution of I mining operations upon an extensive scale. I For many of the mines, the machinery has J been already ordered, and will be upon its j way as soon as the passage of the moun j tains can be safely attempted. These are j principally for claims on Gold Hill proper, i the ledges of which were struck, or their | existence fully established la<t fill. I he i results of the last few mouths, which have established the fact that the Gold Hill ledges stretch down through Ameri can Flat and Blue Sulphur Spring District have given a strong and vivifying impulse to all the companies now working along that line. The number of mills and steam hoisting works that will be required along this line will be immense. In the erection of these works a vast number of mechanics will be required. This is a class the supply of which has ever been unequal to the demand, in this 1 country, and the importation of the great ! number retprired will be material and j valuable accession to the population of i the district. The new town of American j City, in the southern portion of this cor poration, is being rapidly purchased by persons who will commence building upon their lots immediately, when the roads are in condition for the hauling of the lumber. Before another winter sets in there will be almost a continuous city from American I Flat to the southern end of Virginia, broken only at points where the rugged conformation of the mountains imposes natural and insurmountable barriers, i lie | permanent and inexhaustible character of , the mines of this range, justifies the sub j stantial and costly style of buildings and works which it is proposed to build. : Instead of the frail wood and cloth tcne | ments, which characterise those ephemeral ' towns of California, where mining is the sole resource of the district, the people of Washoe find it for their interest to erect substantial edifices of brick and stone. The reasons of this difference arc manifold. ' All building timber used in this bare and I timberless region must be of necessitj hauled such a distance that the transpor I tation is the chief item in its cost. I Another point in consideration is the risk | of conflagration, against which, from the | peculiarity of the conformation of the j country, it is impossible to effectually ! guarl. In this immediate vicinity, too, there is an abundance of good building stone, and clay suitable for the manufac ture of brick. The number of brick build ! ings which are already projected, will re quire the proceeds of many brick-yards and the employment of many men in that branch of manufacture. These improve ments, which are a fixed fact, and which will commence with the opening spring, give assurance of an approaching season of unexampled life and activity in every branch of business in the Territory, and next fall will record a progress and ad vancement in the scale of population, business and wealth of the country, with out parallel. The Mixes and Mixrso Interests. ? One of our Congressional delegation writes to a friend here, who questioned him concerning the Government's intent to tax the mines, and says: "I do not know, with certainty, what the plan of Gen. Beale is but I shall sec it in a few days, as it will be printed at length with the report of Commissioner Kdwards. AVe hear, now and then, an expression in favor of raising revenue from the mines by taxation, but these thoughts spring from a general desire to get funds to meet the very extraordinary expenses of the Government imposed by the war, and not from any purpose or wish to make a spe ciality of the mines in taxation. Miners I now pay their income tax the same as people engaged in any other occupation, and this doubtless, they are willing to do but no more. To put mining on a more unfavorable basis than any other produc tive industry would, it seems to me, be unjust, and as a Government measure, de cidedly impolitic, for its tendency would be to curtail a product more needed now than any other. But I have seen nor heard no specific plan for taxing the pre cious metal mines." To Minixo Secretaries. ? Advertise j ments are often received by us which are | not perfectly legible, and consisting, as ; they do, chiefly of proper names and fig ; ures, guess-work is not always successful. : As perfect correctness is required in a lc ' gal advertisement, it would be a safe pre i caution on the part of Secretaries to scru ; tmize the first number of the paper con , taining their advertisements, and if any | error exists, notify us of the fact and have | it corrected at once. | " Fee Fi Fo Finn T We Smell the Blood of a Copperry One." The third in the series of the patriotic resolutions adopted by the Legislative As sembly, reads as follows : 3. That we hiivc an abiding confidence in the ability, honesty, and capability of Abra ham Lincoln, President of the United States. I That we endorse the great acts of his adinin : istration, and as the representatives of the I people of Nevada Territory, pledge our snp ! port to all measures having for "their object ; the speedy suppression of rebellion and the restoration of peace. Whereon Cla^gett, of Humboldt, thus I writes his record : I vote against the third resolution ? first, because it is not devisable, and because I do ! not believe that the resolution, as it now j stands, is responsive to the Union sentiment of the Territory. Second, because, although j [ am a firm and persistent supporter of the | Federal Government and Administration ! against all of |the enemies, whether they be foreign or domestic, yet there are I , some measures of the Administration [that may be called its "great acts," j o? which, as an intelligent citizen, I | i disapprove ? believing to be both uuconstitu I i [ !? *? ' ** ?m?ii T I lii in ipporter of the Federal Government and ' Administration." A Sensible Rbpoot. ? In the House, yesterday, Mr. ('alder, from the Standing Committee on Internal Improvements, submitted the following report : Mr. Speaker ? Your Committee on Intern al Improvements, deprecating the course of the last Legislative Assembly ill giving valua ble franchises without proper investigation to i parties who obtained them merely for speeu- i fative purposes, and in manv eases to the | I detriment and against the wishes of the pub- ! j lie, beg leave to give notice that they caunot [ i report undcrstaudingly nor favorably on any bill granting a franchise, unless it is aceom- j panied by a petition from citizens residing in : I the locality interested, or from the Board of j I County Commissioners of the county in I j which the franchise is asked for, requesting 1 the passage of the bill, except iu cases where | I it is clearly shown to the committee that it is i I a public necessity, i A day of reason has begun to dawn. ! j A glance at the index of the existing j statute books of the Territory will eon- i | vince any man that it is high time that j i the principle involved in the above report j ! should be adopted. A man can't go now ! ; from his house to his "hoss-lot" without j ' traveling on a toll-road. The Tax-Payers* Tkoi iim:. ? In the j Council yesterday, Mr. Baldwin, of the Storey ' j delegation, to whom was referred the renion- I ! strancc of tax-payers of that county against | | extending the time for collecting taxes, re- I | ported that, " While we are satisfied that the j Assessor of Storey county has, in many in- J I stances, placed an exorbitant estimate upon j i property assessed by him, and the Board of | Equalisation of that county has been at fault } ; in omitting to reduce this improper estimate, : I nevertheless as a great portion of the county j I taxes have been paid and distributed into the j various county aud Territorial funds, we deem j ? it inexpedient to recommend any legislation looking to the relief of those whose taxes may ; yet remain unpaid. At an ea ly day we pro \ pose offering such amendments to the pros- j 1 cut revenue law as will compel County As- J ; sessors aud Commissioners to adopt as the ! basis of taxation a just valuation of property." I Como Correspondence. Co MO, January 21, 1864 If ! a ; c fa I riuu^b ? j mm*v inC UUl U1 SIX j ' ot the loyal men who voted against the ; i Constitution, will, before the next Xovem 1 ber election, repent in sackcloth and ! a?hes for what they have done. l!ut I fear they are not capable of excr i cising sorrow sufficient to atone for, or | remedy the evil ; yet, if their sorrow f should come soon enough, and they could I induce the present Territorial Legislature | to take up the Constitution, strike the word " mines" out of the tenth article, and make such alterations in the schedule as would be needed in the change of time of submitting it to the people, and provide for an election of officers under it at the general election in November next, I and other matters pertaining thereto, and then pa-is a law fixing the election, say in July or August, at which time the Con stitution alone should be voted upon. At the same tunc send forward the Constitu tion, as amended, to Washington, and then induce Congress to pass an act providing that if the electors of the Territory should endorse the said Constitution at the said July or August election, then that it shoidd be lawful and right for the Presi dent of the United States, by proclama tion, to receive us among the sisterhood of States. In that way they could in part atone for what they have done, and j we all still have the privilege of participa ting in the next Presidential election, and so help to re-clect Old Abe. Ade., P. S. ? I am not aware that any pre scribed course is necessary to get the j Constitution before the. people, only so ; that it comes squarely before them, and | they adopt it. A. Fortifications of the Coast* j A correspondent of the Bulletin, writing from Santa Barbara, January loth, has the following : During the last twelve days two United States men-of-war have been cruising off the coasts and islands of the Santa Barbara channel, to the great mystification of those who could get sight to "verify the nature of these craft. They are not steamers, and are supposed to be looking up the first shadow of the terrible Alabama, which, following the deep schemes Sernmes lays for the United States authorities, always acts on Ned Mc Gowari*s plan of foretelling his arrivals and departures, and also his routes, in the very opposite direction from his real intentions. And the very Ubiquitous ? as he nicknamed himself into infamy ? is as likely to be in the Alabama as in a secesh regiment on the Mis sissippi, or being hung for a Federal spy in Mew Orleans. Probably since the days of Ananias and Sapphire there never was such a liar and intriguant as this very Edward ; and if the Alabama is bound to* California, and has him for a pilot, he knows every rope and strand of these vicinities, and is to be looked after. The vessels alluded to are also said to have taken possession of the Islands of San Miguel and Santa Catalina, for the purpose of forti fication, a step much approved bv the people of the southern counties, and which ought to have been done long ago. The Government is now fortifying San Diego, a most necessa ry thing, and equally necessary is the fortifi cation of Monterey. Both places would make splendid harbors of refuge for our ship ping in case of war, as also for beating off an armed forcc. The bay of Monterey can hold hundreds of vessels, and the entrance is as open as Costa Rica, while fleets and ar mies could be easily and quickly supplied with wood, water and provisions? most im portant matter* in such exigencies. How it is the Government has so long neglected that port, which was dismantled of all its guns by Jeff. Davis, when Secretary of war, is indeed a mystery. The only officer who (tuck up for the necessity of fortifying Monterey, from 1848 to I860, was the present General Ord, who was stationed there for three or four yean, and invariably advocated itsJcaoM. BY TELEGRAPH! FROM THE MOU5ISO TAPERS. The Army of the Potomac. Wmhdiotox, Jan. 22. ? Nothing of special importance has transpired in the Army of the Potomac for several days. The enemy appears to enjoy a similar state of quiet. Sedgwick commands the army in the absencc of Meade. General Butler. General liutler left Washington on the 21st for Fortress Monroe, hopeful of being able to redeem our prisoners at Richmond. He did not recede an inch from the high grounds he has taken with the Confeder ate authorities. 1'he Texas Expedition. An officer of Banks' command writes to a friend here that before the first of June the whole country west of the Mississippi will be clcar from rebels in arms. Large quantities of cotton have come within our lines from plantations in the interior of Texas. Ckurges Against a Supreme Judge. T A memorial from Wisconsin will be ? resented to the House praying for the npeachment of the Judge of the Supreme ourt for bribery and corruption upon the ench in his circuit. Resignation of Col. McKibben. Col. Joseph McKibben, Aid-de-Camp to ' njor-Gencral Thomas, has tendered his signation with a view to returning to Tfu.1 Pacific coast. Rebel Sufferings. I.ate arrivals from within the rebel lines at New Orleans report that the rebellion cannot stand much longer. The Confed erate cummer hns brcome worthless, and the planters hide away everything from rebel impressment. An Interesting Rumor. Rumor says that Longstreet recently made a tender of an important character to our Government, involving no less than the surrender of his forces. Such terms were otfered him that he declared rather than accept them, he and his people would fight to the last. We cannot say how much truth there is in the 8 tor)-. The Garibaldi Afloat. Xkw York, Jan. 22. ? The ship Gari baldi was got off the Southwest spit un damaged, and will proceed on her voyage to San Francisco with the first fair wind. Blockade Runners, A letter to the Herald, dated off Wil mington, January 13, contains details of the capture of the blockade runners K anger, llcndigo and Hero. The block ade runners are being fast used up. Tobacco Tax ? Gold. The Commissioner of Agriculture says the proposed tax of twenty per ccnt. on leaf tobacco would destroy the export trade, which n >w gives us $20,000,000 revenue. Gold, 57. Keesc River mining Items. The following items of mining intelli gence are from the Reveille, of last Tues day : WiMiwoon TrxxEL. ? We are informed that a few days since a large ledge was struck in this tunnel at a depth of near two hundred feet below the surface. This tunnel is situated near Amador. AYe hnve been shown some of the quartz taken from this ledge, which looked quite well, resembling very much the blue sulphurets which are taken out of the Comstock. This strike has caused a considerable stir for several days past. Tiik Fountain mill at Jacobsville is now lying idle for want of rock to crush. This mill is capable of crushing and amalga mating eighteen tons in twenty-four -'lours. As great quantities of rock is ly ng at the mouths of the many shafts in his and the neighboring district, that will jav well for crushing, it is to be hoped hat enough will be brought forward to :eep all the mills constantly running. Oukgox Mit.l. ? We visited this mill he other day, and found steam up and he stamps rattling away. A number of tons of rich-looking quartz were on hand. The foundation of the battery in this mill is upon the bed-rock, and it is of course j as solid as it can be made. The timbers used are also very strong. Everything about the mill is arranged for convenience and endurance. Essex. ? A quantity of rock from the J Essex was lately crushed, yielding at the I rate of $420 per ton. This was from j rock taken below the water line, and was | worked by crushing and amalgamating, j It is supposed that it would have worked j and paid better had it been previously ! roasted. Cicero. ? We understand that one of the owners of this ledge is now in San ; Francisco, from which place he will start j in n few days with a pump to be used in i the incline sunk on this ledge. When it ' arrives work will be immediately resumed, and we may then expect some returns from this promising ledge. New Discovery. ? We were shown yesterday a fine-looking piece of quartz from a ledge recently discovered in the Smith's Creek range of mountains, about oightv miles to the southward of here. The ledge is said to be forty feet wide and crops out fifty or sixty feet above the sur face. Maut and Emma Tcxjtel. ? AVe under stand that a good-looking, well-defined ledge was struck in this tunnel a few days since. The tunnel Is now in near two hundred feet and runs into the hill just a short distance east of Cedar street. Reese River Canal. ? Work upon this enterprise is being pushed forward rapidly and the prospects now are that it will be finished considerably before the first of April the time fixed in the contract. Speed the work. North Star Ledge. ? "Work is being vigorously pushed forward on this ledge, and a large quantity of quartz is being taken out daily. A* considerable amount of it is alio being crushed, as fast as ex tracted, at the various mills. IIildreth's Mill. ? During the latter part of last week this mill was engaged in crushing rock from the North Star ledge. This week, we understand, it will work some from the Union No. 2. Savage Ledge. ? A very comfortable house has been erected over the mouth of the incline sunk upon this ledge, and the work is being vigorously pushed forward. Some fine-looking rock is being taken out. Cylindrical Rotaby Prixtino Pbess? Hok Beatex! ? Wilkinson's machine prints 22,000 papers ?i both sides in an hour, and dispenses with manual labor, it is said, to an extent never before contemplated. Its prin ciple, nevertheless, is simple, consisting merelr of the passage of the paper, not cut into sheets, but made in an immense web, between cylinders on which the types are set, while a folding and cutting machine, self-act ing, is read; to separate each paper as it is printed from the web, and pass it out ot the machine ready for publication. Those who have seen this machine at work in London, neree that it is as much superior to Hoe's as Hoe's is to Middleton's. The Risk ix Tody.? Nothing could ex ceed the excitement among the n&bitues of cornea groceries, and other liquor drinking places yesterday, iu conseuuence of a rumor that all drinks nowehargea three cents would be charged five or six cents ; those at six cents, ten cents ; those at ten cents, fifteen cents, and so on. In some instances the usual topers declared thev would drink no more, wnile others asked proprietors to sell off their present stock at old priccs. " Fif teen cents fax ? drink" said one, " begorra, I'd get three loaves of bread for that." It is to be hoped that he may buy bread In future instead of rum. ? X. Y. Sua, Dte. 19. Matters is Coxgbess. ? C. Cole, M. C., under date of December 16th, writes in a private letter t<y a friend in this city, as will be made public : " The Democrats ate manifesting a very decidedly fractious disposition, but our side of the House manifest a great deid of harmony, and we are so clearly in the majority that the oppo sition can hardly effect any injury to the Republic. I see more distirctly every day some great compensating principle of jus tice, or Providence, if you please, running through our national affairs, adjusting ap parent incongruities. Our good President U the unconscious instrument working out a glorious destiny for our nation. Nearly one- third of the whole world are nearly as much interested in our success as we are, though they may not see it. It is most gratifying to see how rapidly the people of Europe are of late taking in the merits of our quarrel. The Govern ments there are losing control over the minds of the people. Colfax makes an excellent Speaker. IIow get along our Legislature 5 We arc anxious to see the messages of Stanford and Low. 1 think we shall be able to do whatever is desira ble for the Pacific ltail way. Everybody is convinced of the necessity of the meas ure." A Remarkable Coincidence.?' The Hil ton Head correspondent of the New York Tribune, states that the first neoro soldier killed in this war was named John Brown, while the first rebel officer whose official duty it became to recognize officers commanding negro troops was John C. Calhoun, a grand son of the arch-nullifier, and in command of South Carolina troops. We believe, too, that t ic negro soldier was a native of Massachu setts. This is according to the fitness of things. NEW T0-DA1. FOR SALE.
