VAN NAMEE. When we have laid aside The burdens of this life, And crossed the stream of death, With many dangers rife. When we have bid adieu To charming scenes of earth, Its cares' and toils, and pains, Its reveling and mi-th, 'When we stand up before The judg-s of all above, Oh, shall we know up there The ones we here have loved. Shall wo in chimes alpha Clasp hands in friendship true, With those who've made life's sky Seem hung with softest blue? Shall heart beat close to heart. Shall lips to lips be pressed, As they have often been When here below caressed ? Oh, angel friend above, Come whisper now to me, When I am done with life Shall I tvisin know thee? Origin at. Si his and Incidents front Grass Valley, Cal., to Austin, Nevada. AUSTIN, LANDER, Co.. Nevada. March 30th, 1866. j FRIEND RAMBO : Ns I expected from engagements I started fur Austin and me voice sun! et saine. Austin is located some two hundred miles from Virginia City, the road from thence par takes very little of the monotonous moun tains, gulfs and detours invariably pre senting themselves on the trip from Dutch Flat to Virginia City over the Sierras. Fortunately fur my bones, it was the kind of a level strip that suited me, passing over smooth undulation of wide rolling pampas and sage obrush deserts covered everywhere with aikalic salts so white and well fittingly adjusted is this bridal garment thrown over this form of,Muther Rrth, that one would think stern old Boreas in league with the Storm King had fur once studied the .esthetics of fashion, and become dress maker in ordinary to the barren moor land, by decking it out in a garb of 3110 - -flakes. Wiseacres and d—n fools perplex themselves with -knowing looks andeuta, berson theories, primed with, setenifie terms in explaining the origin of these salts. The big theory of all, always in voked as terrible as the deluge and as absolute as the ocean is, that they have their origin in marine deposits left there since the days of Gog and )lagogy,when the whole universe was submerged. The rainbow had - been given out to pious artesian contractors in the Olympic work shops, close by where one eyed Cyclops tbrged thunderbolts and chisel and file thin fantastic streaks of zig-zag lightning. I say the rainb nv was well nigh cow pleted. Appollo, the quondam boss , painter before St. Luke eased him of! his pallet was putting the last, seventh color to heaven's flag of truce, the waters were subsiding slowly like the ebb on the beach ; first the pinnacle of Ararat stuck its head above the wave like a diver despaired of. Continents when their time come "followed suit," and! arose Venus like from the deep, fresh! and mantled with verdure, in whose I bowels were sepulchred the flora awl! ! fonna of ante•deluvian existence, secre cd there, and have imagined, for the ex , press purpose of affording recreation and cases belli for rival geologists and boom. ists. IVA, the earth looked "healthy." may be a 'leech?. streaked" and lone some ; the roads improved, there was no toll on the WI npike now, for toll-keeper, gate am) till had been all swept away.— No doubt, if he had given Noah a froe pass over his road for his oxen and asses, men and Inlaid servants and general freight, Noah wouldn't have charged him more than Steam Navigation prices for a steerage berth. But he didn't do this, and to make matters worse, there was no opposition line. Nines were cheap then, quartz cropped out in bar baric 'nuggets and placer diggings paid fifty dollars to the pan. This must have been, for the deluge was the first and best attempt at hydrauliz The sea was "played out" for troubled, vexed and swollen, it returned to its old haunts and normal limits, something similar to unfortunate Shoddy specula ting in "wild cat," leaving his sth Ave nue palace in charge of the Sheriff, in in order to betake himself' to his congen ial hovel amen - here in the plebiau pur lieus of the Five Points. Sage brush and grease wood now thickened on the Nevada deserts, grow ing rank in lingering pools of ebbing sea till finally, and at Icn-,,th, the "coast was clear," the land was high and dry, but coated over with a re-COuurn or evapora ted deposit of Alkalic salts. The mark was still there though the waters had gone. - It was kind of the sea; it was [WHOLE NUAIBER 1,923• very attentive and gen tlemanlike to leave his card after him. Geologists, minerol ogists, metallurgists and assayers are now fighting over this ; it• appears they don't compreheud his handwriting—the ink was pale perhaps—something of that sort. In other words they've got Nep tune's card but can't make oat his ad dress. • This country is pestilent wi h Dutch men, and every mother's son of them is a professor of Chemistry (soi aisant.)— Their noses and beer mugs, their pipes and spectacles are into ibis mess. They can't accord with any opinion not en tirely Teutonic. It's surprising how rational two or three well-digested salt sprinkled, snake-twisted pretzels make these fellows talk .on nitrous salts.)— Neither can they agree among them selves, for I heard Prof. Ausgenspilt, that animated beer barrel, when waxing warm with internal firmentation and an- Igry dispute suddenly tit 'round his spig ot, open his mouth, and tell Prof. Tang tyunichts that by "donnerzcetter and hinzmelskrezcz" he would kick his— into a resemblance of its nutritive com position (krout of course was meant) or go to —"fight mit Gen. Seigle. Prof. T. retorted, Prof. A. recrimina ted, swearing like a whole army in Flan ders, but characteristic phlegm finally reasserted its sway and one country, one flag but two glasses of lager,while neither make fast friends nor bitter eneinies,seen restored composure, but in whose muddy glasses, as I peered down, I imagined the theory, the salts and entente cordiale were still " held in solution." I wish it were a feature of idealism fur these fel lows so exclusive in assrciatton, habits and dicta to feast on each other ; for landsman to devour landsman till the whole race and stock were entirely ex tinct. The last surviving Dutchman would be the first and only one of his kind I ever respected. He wouLI be in my estimation, the best cannibal and no blest Roman of them all. I hate and des pise these spectacled illusionists.. I never throw sop.to appease them, much less tiekthinaTWith -st.i - SiT..., . - Se' , m.ttel., for salt and Dutchmen—an excellent pickle surely,not quite so savory,l think as Hessian sauce which Washington bot tled at Trenton. I told you squarely my opinion of Virginia City, that it was ••played out" and aw.iting death at the hands of the stock-br ikers in San Fran cisco. ' This place was discovered, or rather the mines were discovered. when Virginia commenced to Waue. That it it has resi»nded to the expectations of every body intereqed is far from the fact. _That a few have made fortunes is unde niable, that others stand a good show to do the same when the Silver Hines have been developed I think is a reasonable hope. But more capital, more machin ery and unceasing and extensive pros pecting are required to make it profita ble. The stuff and rock, is here, silver bricks bright and pure enough to pave the streets of the celestial Jerusalem it self are here, and Austin, to my mind will excel Virginia in paying ‘• d.vys." In her sage brush barrens, remote from civilization and its comforts nearer to Salt Lake than San Francisco, deprived of every agricultural advantage and with no water privileges whatever she to day rivals Virginia City. Three years ago two men, and two pair of blankets, two picks and shovels and a bottle of quick silver startod this town ; to day she has three thousand inhabitants, ten mills in operation working one huudred and sixty stamps and more in course of erec tion. A severe winter, precluding en tirely the possibility of constant employ . went for hands, or opportunities for pros pecting renders the place apparently dull but the confidence is here rooted and grounded in that hopeful tenacity which iu this country works wonders and never abandons the vessel When Spring opens everybody is to be rich and as a consequence every body will go home East.
