The disease is chronic; eil duce, and then wonder why it is that the horrible evil increases in spite of your wise and benevolent exertions. Make intercourse outaide the marGuard the riage relation criminal. fountains of life as you would the stream itself. If he who takes life is worthy of death, so is he who destroys virtue, for virtue should be dearer than life. Lot the grip of the law fasten upon the real criminal the man, and let the penalty be as certain as the crime. Make marriage a sacred ordinance and not a mere civil contract to be set aside at will. Open wide the gate of honorable matrimony," that the hosts of the weaker sex who pine in single misery may enter in to the joys of virtuous maternity, the chief end of their creation. Abolish the inhuman and restrictive laws which now bar the way of thousands to the tree of lifo and increase. When you enact laws to promote virtue, be yourselves virtuous. Cast your hypocrisy to the devil and seek for the light of heaven to show you how to clear away the filth accumulating around you. The social evil Is a national sin. The leading men of the nation either wallow in it themselves, or leer and wink at it as it jostles against them at the seat of Government. Its rottenness reeks to heaven and pervades the halls of the great Capitol. Its corruption clogs the blood of the whole body politic. And it will fester, and rankle, and eat away the vim and strength of the generation, until virtuous men take hold of the governmental power, and sweeping away tho legislative rubbish of sham reformers and pious hu:nbugs, strike home to the root of the evil and bring to the ground all that nestle in its branches, whether in the highest or the lowest places. remedies are prescribed at intervals for temporary application. It is the great problem of the age. Not that it U by any means "a new thing under the sun." From time immemorial it has spread corruption and death, and defied the feeble efforts of politicians and reformers to exterminate and control it. Cut the evil is greater now than ever. Its increase has been coeval and with civilization.

It is a problem which baffles the wisest and most philanthropic. Modern Christianity has no power over it. Christianity and prostitution flourish side by aide, enemies in word, companions in fact. In theory they are utterly at variance, but in practise they travel together to the ends of the earth.

One stamp mill has been in operation for several months and is said to pay well. Another mill is supposed to be nearly ready for work in Dry valley, about midway between here and Meadow valley; and it is reported that two more are on the way, designed to be erected in Dry and Meadow val- leys. In the neighborhood of such institutions, persons at a distance are led to suppose that money muHt be abundant. On the contrary, there is but little in circulation here. Capitalists generally pay for labor and material in checks on the Bank of California and its branches, and those who take them must do the best they can to realize the cash. A few weeks ago, Wells, Fargo & Co. established in 1'ioclie, and for a a banking-housfew days cashed these checks at a discount of 5 par cent. They stopped business in a short time, the supposed reason is, that the road ageuis make the transmission of treasure between Elko and Pioche very unsafe. In Pioche and Panacea there is a considerable quantity of Utah flour stored, to be sold on commission. If those who bring flour here cash it ot once, they are usually compelled to do so at a very small advance on its price in the settlements from which it is brought. Those who have it to sell on commission are asking $7 and $8 per hundred. It appears bad policy for the Saints to take their produce to such a market. It would be better to store it up against one of those times of need, which we have so often in these mountains, or con same it in making substantial home im- adThe City Couneil met, pursuant te journment, at the City Hall, on Monday, Tuesday July 18th, at 2 p.mi Still ahead, excelling all Competition, There were present, Loriu Far, Esq., & BENEDICT'S and DUPREI Brown A.

It is a general time of health in this chain of valleys, and the crops promise a fair average yield. No grasshoppers have yet made tbeir appearance. The past winter and spring have been very dry, but at present the weather is warm and showery. On the 4th of this month, the first regular mail coach passed through here. This was the beginning of regular mail service, from Cedar city via Pinto, Fort Ilamblin, Eagleville, and Pioche to Panacea. This will serve to break up that feeling of isolation which has heretofore been characteristic of our little valley. It is expected that a surveying party is running the boundary line between Utah and Nevada, their reported movements induce us to believe that our homes will be set off to Utah. The proportionate value to me of my improvements in Utah and Neva in would be about one dollar in the former to five cents in the latter. This does not arise so much from difference in religious sentiments, as from a strong aversion to living under a system of enormous taxation, and the proceeds going into the pockets of spendthrifts, who impoverish Uib State by fattening on the public crib. Besides, I cultivate the earth for a livelihood, and should dislike to bn come the citizen of a State where the miner is the favored protege of the law.
