It L.vs been the boast of the radicals
in every campaign fur the Li.-t four
ytiars that they are. tho especial friends
'if the soldiers. Although we have nev
er been, able to discover any great prac
tical bciu'fils which they had be.-towed
upon the sol. lier, yti they had been so
persistent nt.d demonstrative iu thei.
j-rofe'si ins of regard for the s.ldier's
welfare, tliat we really did think that j
that they wjald do some thing fubstau- j

that the day ol' their follilment was not

Our readers wiil remr-mbcr th.it a
lew weeks agi, we announced that the.
President had directed that the Heads
of Departments in making appointments
tj olfica, its also iu promotions, should
give preference to meritorious a:id hon
orably .discharged soldiers and sailors,
aul that we expressed our approval of
this order. We expected of course to
see civilians excused and the soldiers
win had periled their lives upon the
Hold rewarded by getting their places.
Hut this bopo is gone. The soldiers
believe that the Uniou ii restored, and j
like true soldiers in all acres, they are
iii3gaiiituoii3 and are not in favor of
wrongfully imposing upon tho Southern
people so odious a measure as negro
Mjfrrape, consequently the radicals don't
live tie soldier so well as they did, and
Lave quietly concluded that they will
keep the offices themselves, while the
noldiors may .shift as best they can. Ac.
cordingry in passing the Post Otlice
Appropriation bill tho other day, the
fc'cnato tacked on an amendment provi
ding (hat if any persons were appointed
to office by the President after the ad
journment cf Congress, said appointee
f-b.ould not receive any pay. In fit
keeping with their amendment i.s their
refusal to confirm the appointments of
ro!diers already made. The appoint,
ment of (den. Iauiol P- Sickles, as Min
ister to the Hague, was laid on the U
Lie. deli. Sickles is well kuuwn as one
f.f the uioi-t jjallaut officers of tho war,
md his only disqualification i.s that ho
is not a radical and supports the Presi
dent. The appointment of Maj. (icu.
Fiimk P. Hlair, us Collector ;.t St. Lou.

The i'holet'it.
A'ain we have the excitement in re
gard to cholera. Reports that it has
leached our southern borders fiou; the
West Indies, where it has been commit
ting great ravages through the hist win
ter, are followed by the statements of
its appearance- ia an emigrant ship at
New York, and one nt Halifax, li'hctli.
er the reports "are true or not, it mat-
tors little, for it seems very certain that
' J
it will make its appearance this year,
sooner or biter, and every physician
.i,.,,, 'i t, .ii,, ,..t-., i,;.,.;,.i re.
iinl
cards two things the mean
of prophy-
laxis and treatment.
The poison or influence that pro.
duces cholera is as yet unknown, tho'
we Lave every reason to believe that it
possesses form and substance, an 1 acts
with all the deflnitenes of the poisons of
Typhus Scarletina, Small Pox, &e.
Zymotic poisons require certain condi
tiousfor their growth and propagation,the
principal of which is an atmosphere ren
dered impure by the decomposition of
animal and vegetable matter, the first
especially.
Unless il Cuds these, it ceases its pro-
gross, and disappears just as certainly
as seed sown upon a macadamized
road will not produce o crop. The
cholera poison, whenever it becomes ep
idemic, must find the soil for its growth
and action in an impuro atmosphere.
We find a striking evidence of this in
the manner of its transportation across
the ocean. It more frequently appears
iu emigrant ships in the steer; go,
among the poorer, and from position,
less cleanly passengers. Crowding al
ways favors it, for in tho same vessel,
the cabiu passengers, having plenty of
room, good air, and means of personal
cleanliness, escape. Cholera originates
iu bin. rin filth, as is evidenced by tho
modes of life in the densely populated
sections of India from whence it starts,
and those cities and countries from
which it receives fresh impulse on its
devastating progress. Its new birth, so
to speak, among the filthy and poorly
provided crowds of pilgrims at Malta,
and its destructive progress from thence
to Constantinople, gathering increased
force on its way, is uiffieicut evidence
of the above propositions.
Cleanliness, then, is the most efficient
prophylactic. Such cleauliuess as en.
tirely removes nil animal and vegetable
matter that would undoro rapi 1 or
lyW leC'.'irpO'l'io'J.

sify the scenery and render the route of
the P. cvlC. iu spiinc, summer nr autumn
one of the ino.-t interesting to the ap.
prceiativc lover of nature, that can be
found in the 1'nion. The traveler by
railroad lrom the hast enters the county
; ,ibout one and one fourth miles blast "f
i liatlibun, and as ho stops at the Station
and looks lrom the cars tuwaius
South he sees at f .h:-t disimioa
tne
the
lands ef " J.e Mont (las Coal Company."
and who c territory extends from the
I it. M,it- lini. ti -i ru.li.f t.itiu, it 1..I-I linn
west of Hemlock Station. Tn about
filteen minutes he will pass the pockets
i f the Taunerdale Coal Company atid
observe the trestlcwork, over winch the
coal is brought from tho mines, exten
ding back into the f-'iv.-.-t. Five minutes
afterwards, be pa.:es the pockets of the
St. Mary's Coal Company, soon after and
just r. the engine nun whistles for St.

He has thus in a distance of less than
nine miles, passed the properly of four
Coal cull, panics, three of which are in
active operation. If our stranger stops
at St. Mary's he will find a busy town
v.f o or lGilO inhabitants, situated upon
the waters of Klk ercck, for Miller's
summit, dividing the Allegheny from
the Susquehanna, has been passed a
mile and a half back. Following the
course of Flk creek the train passes
J'agu cnhoud.i junction from which the
rail road ol the J ;iguseahond:i Improve,
ment Company extends into Fox town
ship, a distance of six miles, and to the
freighting of which tho " Klk Moun
tain," " Kersey," and " Phil'a & Toby
creek " companies contribute. Next
comes the Pa. Canned Coal it Hail Road
company's works wilh their fourteen
miles of Hail Itoad. After passing
Hidgway the road ascends the Clarion
and at ilmarth we find the ' Wilmarili
Coal company " with loaded cars ready
for the freight trains. In this ride of
less than an hour and a half since en
tering the county be lias thus passed
the works of ten companies, all or nearly
all of which have been incorporated
within the last three yeais. These facts
show that Klk county is looking up in a
business way, and if we add to her
mines, the undeveloped possibilities for
manufacturing contained in her forests,
we find that she has every necessary for
material wealth.
Add to these the advantages of pure
water, romantic scenery and abundant
game, and we confess we are unablo to
see why our county should not become a
lauirite resort for sportsmen and tourists
when seeking 'elaxation from business
or other cares, and to whose overstrung
nerves and worn out muscular systems
our bracing mountain air would bring
health and peace.

The quc.-.tiou of a general railroad law
is one that interests uearly everybody in
Frio couuty, and we meet few persons
who do not heartily advocate the passage
of such a measure by the Legislature.
It appears that the subject, is as popular
i'i olhcr sections as here. A meeting
in favor of a general railroad law was
held recently iu Sharon, Mere-er county,

Its circulation is not secured and we do
not anticipate that holders of its notes

THOMAS MASON, Att'y at Law.
Central Cily, Colorado.
The space of a circular is too limited to
give the opinions of numerous distinguish
ed citizens and meu of science who have ex
amined this district ; the following extracts
relate thereto, and that of Professor Ed
ward N. Kent in particular, of tho New
York U. S Assay Olliceis directly iu point.
Our late lamented President Mr. Lin
coln during an interview wilh Speaker
Colfax, relative to the hidden wealth of Col
orado, Navada, Sc., said
" 1 have very large ideas of the mineral
wealth of our nation ; I believe it practically
inexhaustible."
The Hon. J. P. Upsher, Secretary of the
Interior, iu the Oijieiul Report presented to
Congress, dated December 5th, 1(G1, refer
ring to the then present condition of our
Western Territories, says. "Tho wealth
embedded in the rocks of that extensive re
gion is actually inexhaustible, and it will
iurmsh in future years, indirectly a princi
pal part of. our means of liquidating tho
debt contracted by the Government for the
overthrow of the Great Rebellion."
Tho Hon. II. P. Rennet t, delegate in
Congress from Colorado, in a speech before
the House of Representatives saidz-'-Judg-ing
front what I know of the undeveloped
resources of this couutry j from whut I am
told by practical miners who are well in
formed upon this subject, I do ny here
to-day befure this House and before this
Country, lo bo placed upon lliorcCAids and
read of all men 1 1ml within fiveyenrs' lime,
and by theyenr 18'1'J, the gold fields ofCnl
or.idi) Territory will products $50,0011.111111
annually , and even then its full resources
of mineral wealth in gold nlonc remain not
wholly developed. I Ppcak from tho united
testimony of many practical miners who
have spent many years iu tho mines of
California, wlmn I sy : that tho gold
bearing region of Colorado is fur nmro ex
tensive, quite ns Inexhaustible, nnd the
gold bearing quartz ol" u much richer quali
ty thin in California.
Professor V. (ward S. K-nt, of the New
York Asny Ollice. says;
' As to the extent of Dm gold tilings of
Colorado. I am not prepared to give anesti.
male, ns I found enough to fully employ my
time within a radio" ol" live miles of Central
Cily, li e location of the above Ledges,!
hut n-io the richness of tiikm. I hivc
hesitation in sayinff. tf'it I brlirvr thm to lit
the rirhrtt n-i-r ili'Ctvi-rcl. With science,
ciinilnl nml lln; I'ncilio Railroad. Colorado ifi
destined in my opinion, torivnl or supercede
California and Australia, and become the
K! Dorado of the World."
The opinion entertained hytli(io abroad
of claims in this district, is shown by tbo
following cxlrnct
English enpitnlists have purchased C00O,
000 ef the Colorado mining binds, and their
agents and employees are now cn mult to
develop I he same. The claims aro piinoi.
pally in Russell and Trail districts, and a
recent purcha-o has been the Seitton Lode of
1000 feet for which they paid 100.000,
An idea of the value of some claims (100
feet each) may be formed when the fact is
considered that it often occurs that they
yield millions of dollars, and haveiu several
instances been sold for $25,000 per foot.
Mr. Fields, from 33J feet of Cie Bobtail
Lode 1ms taken out already over $200,000
in gold, and -I'lti, 000 has been offered and
refused for feet of this same lode, equal
to $800,000 for a claim of one hundred feet.
As the purchase of cither of the above
lodes would require more money than tho
majority of persons have at command, it
has been determined to consolidate them,
and to divide them into Tw clve Hundred and
Fifty.

thus affording tho man of limited means, as
well as the capita'ist, an opportunity to se.
cure an interest iuthis region of "praoti
cally inexhaustible" wealth.
As all are aware, the usual plan adopted
for the development of such a property is to
form a company and issue certificates of
stock. The plan here proposed may be
considered preliminary to the formation of
two or moro Companies on tlicsc propcrlics,
which are Bubject to no royally, leases or
mortgages.
The Subscribers can then upon this solid
and substantial basis, elect officers froai
among themselves, each subscriber boing
eligible to the position of an officer of tbo
Company.
In order that handsome returns may bo
speedily realized, these subscriptions aro
based upon the proposition that the subscri
bers immdiately on receipt of the Deeds
(now ready for delivery, and which may bo
examined at the Oihco of tho undersigned
before subscribing,) may lease their lands
on heavy royalties, or at once organize
Companies in tho usual way for which there
is an ample basis.
To accommodate those of moderate means,
these " ml crest s " arc put at- $10!J each,
in order to get the list filled at once, and to
prevent any delay in the organization of tho
Company.
Considering the numerous valuable
" Ledges "' which constitute the baiitof this
enterprise the fair nr.d equitablo features
the low prices nt which " interests" in it
are oflcred, nnd that each interest entitles
I the holder to his pro rula share of slock in
an tne companies t tint may lie organized
upon them also recollecting that in all.
there are only 1000 interests to be sold, and
it would only require ono hundrel gentle
men each to take ten ($1000 to absorb tho
whole, it is presumed that it is hardly neces
sary to suggest to those desiring to secure
one or more of tlicsc original interests, to at
once send in their subscriptions.
Checks or Drafts should bo drawn to tho
order of the undersigned, whose endorse
ment will be a receipt, in addition to tho
one that will bo promptly sent on receiving
them.
