Alleged DiicoTi-rj- of Gold in Montana
ST. Loms, Dec. 7.-Tbe Virginia City
(Montana) Post, ot November 4, contains a
glowing description of a most extraordi?
nary discovery, about four miies from
Helena, in that Territory, made by a man
name Brown, one of thc original dis?
coverers of tho Gould A Curry ledge of
Nevada. The discovery is represented as
a well donned ledge, fully five feet wide,
with a gold vein three feet wide, three
fourths of tho entire substance therein
being pure gold. On each side of this vein
there is a casing of ono foot of quartz,
which will assay from $400 to $2,000 the
ton. "What gives an air of credibility to
this seemingly exaggerated account, is the
fact that Col. Insley, a well known citizen
of St. Joseph, now in Montana, saying in a
closing letter to his family, that ho has
seen a specimen of this* quartz, which
?seemed to be solid gold.
The Richmond Wlrtg mentions that ono
of the most startling bills of mortality ever
exhibited, conies from the Freedmen's
Bureau, in the confesi?n that, out of tim
thousand negroes sent hy General ?Sherman
down the Cape Fear River, in March last,
two thousand died in the short space of
two months and a half. Had the Asiatic
cholera, the small pox, or any of those other
scourges that sometimes sweep off thou?
sands and tens of thousands, prevailed
among them, the result would have been
astonishing, but it is absolutely frightful,
when we bear in mind that no such dread?
ful epidemic prevailed among them, but
that they were carried off by ordinary dis?
eases, or, perhaps, we should say, by that
cause more fell than any disease, fanatical
philanthropy. At this rate of mortality,
it woidd require only twelve months and a
half to bury the whole (en thousand.
CRIME IS ST. Lons. -The prevalence of
crime in St. Louis appals the newspapers,
one of whom writes thus:
,4Men are bludgeoned and robbed under
gas lamps, on thoroughfares, at 8 o'clock
in the evening. Banks are robbed in open
day-light. Collectors and messengers are.
knocked down, and their money packages
seized at noon, in the heart of the city.
Ladies have their purses snatched from
their hands while walking, in the conscious?
ness of imagined security, along the streets,
and scores of dwellings are entered nightly
and plundered. And yet no arrests arc
made."
The huge iron frame-work which is to

together with the stage, are to be support?
ed so as that this mass of iron will not be

.seem to he suspended in the air.
Dates from Nashville, of the 5th instant,
state that the bill allowing negroes to tes?
tify in the courts was tabled in the Louse

loyal radicals from East Tennessee, who
voted against the measure almost to a

the bill.
