boles of cotton which it was well known
did not belong to the late Confederacy,
and throujih a third party offered to re
lease the cotton for the consideration of
300 bales, which wag refused, and the
cotton was moved at once at a mnch
greater expense than it would hare cost

its release, but without success.

MEMrniS, TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH .'14,
Ths Silver Kin of Vevada.
Tbe following account of theailver
mines of the new State of Nevada, reads
like an Eastern romance: ' '
There Is but one main vein from which
the silver ore is taken. It Is tbe largest
one known, averaging thirty or forty feet
in thickness, and has been opened for a
distance of about three miles. - i
There are now at least seventy-five
quartz mills working the ores from dif
ferent claims on the vein, one of which
the Gould and Curry mill was built at
a cost of half a million. The average
yield of all the ores worked il about (50
per ton.
Id tbe latter part of the year 18C2 the
silver mines at Keese river were discov
ered, and tbe Keese river mining district,
in which the town of Austin, is located,
wna formed. This district, the mining
belt of which is about six miles long by
three wide, contains at least 3000 claims.
The veins are small in comparison to
the Comstock at Virginia, but what they
lack in size is more than made tip in
richness. .'' ' " ' ' I
According to tbe returns of the asses
sor for the year 1864, the average yield
. f .11 U oi wnrkerl in the district was
two hundred and four dollars per ton, a

now for the purpose of taking out one
hundred millions yearly, is the Paoiflc
It that be comnleted. and we
can with ease increase the production of
silver at least ten tola, auiuu is on ins
overland mail route and telegraph line,
180 miles east from Virginia, Cjiy, and
420 miles West from Salt Lake. Besides
u. d. wivAH rlit.ricL there are a num-
IUS i,v.- - " ' ,
ber of mining districts extending seventy
miles north and a nunareo anu imr.v
miles south from Austin, all of whioh
contain valuable quartz veins pf gold,
silver and copper, and, in fact, nearly all
of the differeut kinds of minerals known.
To persons witthing to invest capital, I
know of no better inducements than
those now offered at Austin. Claims
which can at present be bought for a
. n, n 1 1 nriia nrill in three or . four
years be worth fortunes. The cost of
luiwirinir .no nvp, hi. iirH.KUL. uniuic lu iuu
'great distance machinery has to be
nauiea ana me mgu p,ivc muu.,
about forty dollars per ton. Add to this
the coat of miningtne ore from the vein?,
and it will be seen that it has to be rich
to pay for working.' : There are thousands
of tons of ore in the Reese river district,
which will yield from fitly to sixty dollars
a ton: but which, until the railroad is
completed, enabling pi to reduce them
for a reasonable sum, will have to lie
perfectly worthless. . , J-
The State is now producing about fif
teea millions yearly, and with railroad
facilities I see no reason why it cannot
be increased to a hundred millions. The
people of our State are glad to see the
.., iih which the) railroad is being
pushed forward, both from the east aud .
west, and nope ere long o see me great
national thoroughfare completed.
Kpiilfl the minim districts above
named, there are a number about
one hundred and twenty-seven miies

The Bond. . '
; On the memorable 9th of April, 1865,
the Lieutenant General commanding the
-M;a .f tUa TTnitprl Klntp ill rprtnnnae
RlliilEQ " ' w - - - r
to a note from the General commanding
the forces of the Confederate States, sent
this significant reply: "I will state,
however, General, that I am equally
anxious for peace with yourself, and the
whole North entertains the same foeling ;
th terms upon which peace can be had
are well understood."
A few hours after the reception of that
note General Lee surrendered his army,
and the days of the Confederate Govern
ment were numbered.
The terms npon which, we were assured
peace could be had were " well under
stood." They had been made but a few
weeks before by the Secretary of State,
speaking for the United States, in a con
ference with commissioners from Rich
mond. . . '
Then Gen. Grant said, and said by au
thority, to the South: Lay down your
arms; obey the Constitution of the
United States ; accept the abolition of
slavery as an accomplished fact sira-
Ely this and nothing more and you Can
ave peace, and be at once restored to
your old relations in the Union.
These were the terms which General
Graat tendered. They were well known.
They had been offered by the Govern
ment of the Union ; they were the only
terms that had been offered or required;
and they had been made known through
out the land.
The war was not ended. The Confed
erate cause was desperate; but it cviwnot
last Tbe Republics of the South still
had 150,000 men in "the field, drilled,
disciplined, inured to hardship, devoted
to their Government, ard ably officered.
They might have been crushed ; bnt re
duced to desperation, stimulated by the
memory and glory of their past achieve
ments, fighting with the enerey of
despair, with disfranchisement, con
fiscation, the prison, exile, or dVath, as
the alternative of succeas,none w ill affirm
that their annihilation .could have been
accomplished without a terrible cost in
treasure and blood, and none but God
can know that success was beyond their
reach. ' ,
Such was Ike situation when Grant,
with the aagacity of a great statesman,
with the prudence of a great genecal,
wisely declined driving the army and the
people of the South to extremity, and of

The terms were accepted by Gen. Lee
in DPnill Ol Uis ruij. auwtj writ

I T.r-nr ad hv I A. Gsl Kmith
in bblf ef their respective armies and
of tne people ol toe Mates composing me
Confederacy. The were ratified by the
President pf the fnited States. Their'
acceptance, on tb one part, and their
ratification on tie other, constituted a
treaty, entered into because it was
deemed advantageous to both parties,
and binding on etch.
This is the be nd. To it, the world,
posterity, Heaver, will hold both partie.
, We appeal to a I mankind to witness
that we of tba So .th have complied in
ward and deed, in yood faith, with all tbe
t.rms required of us. We have laid
down our arms to obey the Constitu
tion we have accepted and confirmed
the abolition of slavery.
If there is binding efficacy in treaties,
if there is good fuith in nations, if the
Union would preserve untarnished its
honor, we ere entitled to a general am
nesty for all political offenses, to repre
sentation on the basil of the Constitution
in Congress, to the control of our domes
tic affairs to all the powers, rights, and
privileges possessed by the people and
tbe States of the North. Sehna Visitor.

reported to have said " that the steward
was responsible, but had failed in his
duty by allowing tne spoons, linen, etc,
to be taken trom the bouse during -Mrs.
Lincoln's illness." .
I was appointed steward soon after the
death of the lute President, and on the
day I received the appointment I took an
inventory of every article in the White
House, and some moulds alter; trans
ferred the same to mv successor.
' I can but consider, from Mr. Stevens'
language, that the slur was intended for
me, and take tbis metnou to contraciict
the assertion. t
The Committee of Appropniation ex
mined me, and are fully satisfied that I
transferred to my successor all of the
property I had received, with oue.excep-
tion, viz ; Uue set ol clnnaware, which t
hd,; by order of the Secretary of the In
terior, transferred to the inmates of the
White House. The value of .said china
wa $150, and this was all that was defi
cient at the time of the transfer. i .
Mi. Stevens must have known at tbe
time he spoke that he made an unfounded
assertion, and one that future examina
tion must bav contradicted, 1
: I would only remark that whatever ar
ticles are missing from the White Home
must have been taken from thence either
before or after my appointment j

.,, . , . . r The Jews. .,' . '
An Israelite of Bavaria thus writei pf
the restoration of the chosen people : ;
The reeuluxity of the Jews is now be
ginning to take place. - Not only many
single families immigrate to Palestine,
but there has been formed a number ot
societies in almost every land on this
continent to prepare an immigration on
a larcfB scale, provided with all possible
means, money, implements and tools of
every kind, to commence tbe cultivation
of the Ions desolated land at once, and
with the utmoBt vieor. There are men of
considerable wealth among them, not one
witbout some means ; enough, at least,
to defray the expenses ot the journey,
and to purchase a plot of ground. I am
happy to state that I am one of the
leading members of a society forming
here in Bavaria, which numbers already
over nine hundred heads of families,
beside a number of young people who
would not form an alliance with the
other sex until settled irnthe Holy Land,
npon the soil of their rightful heritage.
He also adds : Tbe Gentiles hereabouts
that is, the petty German Protestant
kingdoms and principalities are even
more astir about Palestine than tbe Jews.
Stonewall Jackson' Daughter.
Speaking of the only living scion of
the late Stonewall Jackson, a writer in
the Richmond Enquirer sayi:
She i a bright little cherub, abont
three years old, with fuir hair, blue eyes
and a complexion of mingled lilies and
roses the lilies, however, greatly pre
dominating, although, perhaps, she does
not look very robust, bhe wore a Maria
Louise blue merino, trimmed with nar
row black velvet ribbon, edged with
white. Her little cloth cloak was of a
light drab color, ornamented with bands
ot silk aud fancy buttons. Her hat was
of English straw, trimmed with blue ve1
vet and blue and white feathers. A tip
pet and muff of ermine completed tbe
costume of the little fairy, and she looked
as enchanting as any mother's darling
need look. Sue was borne in the arms
of a colored nurse, of whom she seemed
very lbnd, and to whom she was prattling
with exuberant gaiety. The dark-eyed,
sua looking lady who followed ber in a
widow's cap and garb of deepest mourn
ing, completed the picture of sunshine
and shadow.
' Bad Death cf a Toang Lady.
A young lady whose parents reside in
the southvrn part of Washington county,
lnd., died of irigtu on Tuesday night last,
under the following sad circumstances :
A brother of the deceased young lady has
been absent in the army for the past
three years, and nnexpectedly returning
home, thought to take the family by sur
prise. Atung accordingly, he knocked
at the room door in which his two sisters
were alwpiug, and having aroused them,
they responded irora within without un
barring tbe doer, but failing to elicit any
other reply than that of a rap, became
frightened, arose and attempted to leave
the room, but in doing so one of the sis
ters fell prostrate on the tioor and ex
pired ia a few annates having, it is said,
died from actual fright
