Neu trality, in thu sense of those who now use Ihe term, however pnlriotii ullv desinneil, is, in effect, but a sioke in thu urass ol re bellion, nnd those who handle it will sooner or later led its fail's.

Mh U U Mlact. Oho Fiso, Aug. 15, ISC1. Ed. Arci'b: My last filter was dated und dispatched only yesterday, but as the period of my sojourn here is likely to close soon, I will employ part of Ihe leisure with which I am burdened, just now, in giving tho result of my observation for your bene fit. . In this region, provisions and purgee arc somewhat light, and even t!:o lilirn ture, of which a supply is kept oj our old townsman, C. L. Goodrich, Is light too. To this general rn!o there arc of course i x- cept'o;is, ns price 1 nro heavy enough In all conscience, nud occasionally drunken men may bo seen nlong tho streets whose heads are heavy from the infi'idice of bad spirits. Hut for a mining siction, there is not overmuch drinking going on. Gam bling, too, is 011 the wain-, nsgold costs too much sweat, to be squandered lightly. Here and there, however, ulong tho streets nl this mountain city, ns evening sets the miners free, the sa'oons flash out their ii.ri tations into tie iliikiiifS, and on various tables within glittering piles of coin stretch out Invisible cords of nttraction to those who pass by, atid a subtle tempter whispers 'Pluy; ir yon can but guess the cards uright, you may become rich without woik.' Hul the more a man puts down, the lees le tukia up, ami this result is naturally so dis couraging that it is not long persevered in. The highest gambling I saw in the minis was between pio'e.-sed gamesters; tlti-n it was d'mnoiid cut diamond, and the sharpest wins. It is a study for a painter lo see with what coolness uud apparent unconcern men, who have schooled themsilves to hide ull expression, can sit for hours, and, ns has happemd in some cases, even for days, with scarce an iuti rinission, immersed In a game of cards. To stund by, nnd watch a game of terrible excitement, where tie fires ol passion burn in thu heart, and see no flush mount the cheek, no added gleam in the fixed eye, shows the control which mind gains over matter, allowing none of its se crets lo bo discovired. Soinetinus, but rarely, such :i perversion of nature is seen ns a creature bearing the semblance of it woman, surrounded by tho reek and filth of n gambling hell. Alas, how fallen! Woman, the iingel of creation, changed to n demon! Tho style of femiuitii's (even nmongst tho respectables) in the diggings, may be illustrated by nn incident which occurred after this wise: A Chinnmnn, tho first, who ventured into thu gold Geld, de spite the prohibition against that ri'.ee, af ter being made the subject of olio or two mineis' meetings, expecting to be ullowed to remain, had purchased kettles, wash bo lid, irons, &c, and set up nn opposition waiilt-hn-iSC. Two strong-minded fcnmles, perceiving their craft to be in danger, armed themselves with axes, am!, storming John Chinaman's castle, demolished nil his works, nnd threatened to exterminate poor Johnny if he didn't pack. The result of their action, and another mass i-.neting on his account, resulted in his immediately va cating the premises. Some of the Oio Fino miners have expressed regret thnt Chinamen are not allowed to come in, ns they could thus sell claims, otherwise to he abandoned. Hut, in a year or two, all these chances will be snapped up, ns they can Lo worked to better ndvantage. At present, less than eight or ten dollars per day will not pay miming expenses nnd or dinary miners' wages. 15uf, in the gold .hunter's lottery," men go further and fare iiuc-u eiiiiii 111 uiiiiiisi iiiij mull iiusu:i. Amiability has been said to be the sub soil of society. That is, where society ex ists in its usually settled state. But in new gold mines, nothing being settled, the pop ulation being so fluctuating, the rule does not hold good; nnd srifiihrn'si is the sub soil. Men, whose interests ure not conflict ing, nud who, under other circumstances, would be obliging neiuhbnrs and perfectly truthful, in the mines work with so single nn eye to their own advantage, and feel themselves under so little obligation to be veracious in their statements if inquired ol concerning the result of their woik, that really it is quite surprising. If n man do ing well is asked, he will probably make a considerable subtraction; if really doing poorly, lie will bo apt to make a large ad dition. Indeed, it is often the case that men owning poor claim are so anxious to de ceive, that a process di scribed as 'suiting' s's resorted to, which in some cases proves successful with the unwary. This is done .1 :.. .i... by sprinkling fine gold over the dry dirt of old project boles, or rhtrcrcrprojcctcrs would bo I kely to try. In 0110 cae 0 ... which I heard, a company ol four muim that they bad ojieued tt claim that would not pay. Hut, keeping their own couul, they wotked along with great leal, th an lug out their sluices at regular interval, but as regularly replacing lecreiiy mo small amount, until at length It began to umuunt to a considerable sum. If InquireU of as to how much liny mude, cvuslvo an swers wtro returned, and this game was played 0 low down thut nt length parties ueluully secreted thuusclvw cloo by, so as lo come out ubilo tho nhilcci wero being cleaned up, and while the claim-owners evinced apparent surprise and di'i-omfllnre. The nilci were trutil'ud by seeing a rcry rich lay mil in the sluices. Tbi game was repented onco or twice, until 0 good off r wus miidu for the claim, which tho owners accepted, declaring themselves tired of the mines. So liny cleiimd up their gold for the last time, and relinquished the claim to its new owners. These, afh-r washing dih gently for screrul days, Invited some friends to come und seo Iho turn out. Tho rifll s were taken out, whilo anxious, expecting fucrs bent over, expecting to bo feasted with the sight of a pile of gold. But .ow the owners' visages elongated when the re sult proved that they had been inoit egre giously sold. ! givo this slory as I had it from or-.S who professed thut ho gave it of Ms own personal knowledge It is beginning to be a commonly received opinion that Oro Fino is played out. But tlit ro is 0 great amount of gold along ils wido flats to bo taken out sooner or later. In many places there is complaint of luik of water. Some who have rich claims, run day and night, by means ol ultimate sets of hands, so us to improve to tho ut most (he short mining season, nud not be compelled to remain longer than possible. During my stay in tho mines, there have been two South Fuak excitements, drawing several hundred men from Oro F.uo to a new placer seventy-five or a hundred miles away. In the first case, most of the ad venturer ciime back disappointed. In the second stampede, it nppoirs that they struck it, ns nut many c.imu buck. But inuny of thoso who started for South Fork either did not go there, or, going by, did not stop long, but hurried on toward, tin lower country. But my passage is nt last secured 011 a Cayusc train to Wnlia Walla, and I must cut this down to a long-short, being in haste. I shall probably drop a note from Walla Walla, if I stop long enough. J.

Do their descend- nuts wish us to lay down our arms, hnnd over the archives nl Washington to Jeff Davis,-and permit him to hang Lincoln, Seult. nud as many more leaders us he mnv demand? If they do, why not come out nnd say so? The lories, Ike the two hundred and seventy in Charleston, got up ' humble nddre.-sos' to king George s gen erals. telling them they despised a demo cratic government, loved tho British rule, and begged tho protection of his mijeslv Have the Advertiser. Union, and Demo er'at'Fvcr sent any 'humble nddrrssis' to Davis? If so, why not publish them to the world? Why this sneaking cownrd.ee, that ought to make the very bones of the two hundred and seventy signers nt Charleston blush, whoso mimes nro all at tached to their ' liumbhi address' and pub lished to the world? The tories in all their public gatherings, rallied under the British flag, to show tho world which sid they were on. Do their descendants in the Northern States daro even by plain ex plicit hingnago to show which side they aro on? Their general whmo nnd mcess ant crumbling satisfy ns that all their sym pnthies nro with Davis, nnd that they would rejoice to see tho rehel army victo rious in every battle, yet they dare not any it, neither dare ono of them that believes in a hell lav his hand on his heart and swear before God that it is not so. We know which side they are on. but do bnc half of their subscribers know? and are these sulwribcrs satisfied with their incessant whine about the war without ever once giving us a plain straightforward plan of ending tho difficulty? Aro these fellows in favor of submitting to the rule of tho slave power, headed by Jeff Davis, ns a 'compromise' to end the war, seenre peace, and sive tho Union? then let them say so.
