Wo cannot discover In the mtM of Intclll (tnN which hai reached m from the Eait anything whereon to build tho hope that the Union li MR. The tetter writers differ upon till point, ami the telegraphic Items brought It Pony Express hcd small light on tho sub Jctt. Indeed, they rather confound than sat isfy os. It Is morally certain that unless the propositions advanced bjr the Virginia and Kentucky delegates aro acceded to by the North, and properly ratified by the Slates, tho Peace Congress will terminate In failure, and with III dissolution goes our last hope for tho Union. 'Die stare Slates will doubtless form tjnder a Confederated Republic, and what dis position will be made of the Northcrr, Kastcrr, Middle, Western and Pacific State, Is a mat ter for future consideration. Up to last accounts, the President elect was tontloulng lilt journey to Washington, wlth mt fear of mole tatlon In any quarter. There Is little doubt that he wai duly Inaugurated at the Federal Capital at the appointed time. If hla speeches along the routo are correctly re ported, war between the discordant sections North and South li almost Inevitable. To attempt seizure of any of the furti now hitd tiy the needing States, on the part of the Urn f ral Government, would precipitate a war, and a refusal to quietly lurrtndcr forti still occu pied by Federal garrisons, within the Southern Confederacy, must lend to similar disastrous and bloody consequences. Hut should war be avoided, all hope of reconstruction of the Union, or reconciliation ol the two divisions, Il closed, if the President is resolved closely to adhere to the principles laid down In the Chi cago Platform, as it it staled he will. The South will never consult to a Unlou utdcr och circumstance. Latest ad rices foretell the defeat of the Pa cific ltailroad Ititl In the Home, that body not concurring with tho Senate amendments. A Joint Conference Committee of the two Houses might possibly hac agreed upon some bull acceptable to the majority, but tho hope for lach a result Is very frail. For our on n part, we think the 1uc.11 tire Is put aside for tki present. The Ongon War Debt Hill had at Inst re ceived favorable notice enough from llio House to aecuro tho appointment of a day specialty lit apart for Its consideration. If within tin. ntaiost possible eflltrli of Mr. Stout to bring friends to its passage, the Senate Hill has been adopted In tho House, yet wo d.re not be san guine. Hut no man ever labored harder for a constituency than has Mr. Stout for the eopte f Oregon, In having this War Debt Hill pressed before Congress, and If il shall hate pisied, to him, fir above all other, will the credit be due. The administration of I'rciMcnt Huehanan terminated on the lib Instant. Ho Is now re tired to the shades of private life forever. No occupant of tho Presidential Chair has b:cn M broadly and maliciously abused i yd vve hazard the prediction that the writer ( f twenty yean hence who shall review tl e events of the present day, will accord to James lliiehanan the high pralso of having saved his country from a most cruel civil war by the coo'ner, the sagacity, '.he niodiratlon, and withal, Hie firmness, which distinguished his administra tion during the great crisis. Of his adminis tration of the Government during his entire term of office, we have not spaco here to speak.

Andenon ft Glenn, agents for the owners of this cele brated gold quartz lode, received 1,470 ouncei and lit dollars In gold, tent by tbo Company, the product of frn font of quartz rock, crushed In the arastra during the last fortnight I This gives an average of 82,352 and a fraction to tho ton tho largest yield, wo believe, ever ob tained in the history ol quartz mining. The last product from this extravagantly rich claim win at the rate of 8350 rer ton for over sixty ton, whirls Is quite equal to the average of tho very richest lodes ever worked In Call fbrula, and beyond the average obtained from the Gold Hill claim In Its palmiest elays lor the lame number of tons ; but these high fig ures dwindle Into comparative Insigultieitirc In contrast with the huge figures no now chronicle as the latest product received from the Applegnte lode. This cxtraord'nary lode Is iltualed on the right fork of Applegnte Creek, about two hundred yards below tho summit of the divide separating that tdrram from Ilriishy Creek, iiiul Is d'stnnt about fifteen milca from the store of W. W. Fowler it Co, on Apple gate, In n southerly direction. It was discov ered In February of last year, by Frank Filer nun and Wm. Ulltups, who afterwards Joined wllli them Capt. Ilarncs. .John I'.ty, Wm. P. Ferris nnd George lllmklcnsa parly to fairly prospect It, and an equal Interest was given to W. W. Fowler and tl. W. Kccler, wiio sup. piled the party with an outfit end provision. while engaged on their rortunale lour. I lie roek promised only a moderate product of gold at first, and was little worked nulll June latt, when on arastra was completed, and the luele regularly opened. From that time until the early part of the present season, the yield was merely a fair average with mine of uarlz veins In California say about 810 to tho ton. Still, the Indications grew more favorable as tha drift was made Into the hill ride, mid c.uli succeeding crushing proved these Ind cations corral. Hut It was only when the drift was opened through what seemed to bo the rim of the gold quartz basin that the extravagant richness of the roek was discovered. Refute reaching this rim, tho rock was nearly nil (f dirty brownish color, mid inuih iKcomposcd. All imlde, to far found, Is whitish, hnrder, nud has Km carlhy coaling on either side of il. One of the o tiers Informal us a few daji ago that from the drift, now some seventy fat deep, there Is quartz enough visible to keep the nrastm constantly occupied for n full jrar, and wo know lliut he never dreamed of any thing iirur like enormous prcducl since ob tained from the ten Ions eruthed when he furthcVnMurrd us thni the roek was richer than any that had been taken out. If Ms es timate of the rock il nil prove correct merely In point of quantity, nnd tho bulk of It shall produce opprox'matcly with the ten tons last crushed, the lode will not only have made each one of Its ovtncri wealthy, but will have given by far the most extraordinary product ever known In any branch of mining. The lode Is held In seven shares, of which LVptatii Harnts and Jchn I'.ly own three ; 1. I,. IlopMuj, ones McKay ft 0 Dricn, one i Fowler and ICti!cr,cne; and Fowler anj An derson ft Glenn, one. Four of the original ow li en, whose names are mentioned among t lie pre peeling parly above, have nt one lime and an other Hold thilr ilurer, Mine of them at low prices, and cnly otic of them, wc undrrstnnd, at an thing like a bargain Firrti, who dis posed of his Interest a few weeks ago and left llio county. The lode has bvtti worked from llicflrittona most economical basis, llacli full share was rcprocntid by one working hand, and occasionally an extra hand was em ployed. The Company have only a slug'e arattra, and in this quiet, easy manner they have been content to work the-lr Idle, without thought or desire fur more costly machinery, or for un extra gang of men to facilitate the inking of the drift nnd getting out of the quurl. The nett earnings of the lode previous to tho product of the last fortnight, after pay ing every dollar of expense tho Company had I been to from the first, and over aud above wages paid to extra or substituted hands, to gether with estimated dvlly wages of each member, amounted to 81.050 to the share u la.. n'onc that is bcnellttrd by this considerable acquisition to tho wealth of th" county. This whole community will feel the beneficial In fluence of this udJIttou to the amount of gold brought from Its idle resting place, to bo enl through the various ehanneU of trade'snd ac- comuiodatlon, at a lime wlieu gold ! so much ucedeel.

In nearly all tho ellgglngi, the washing-up process hat begun, and will be steadily prosecuted until a final clearing up ol the tcason'i labor so for li had. Water li generally plentifully supplied, and by meum of ditehci, dams and rcservoln, enough Is likely to be furnished until early In the cnxulng Summer, which will give tho miners one or two months longer em ployment than li usually afforded. At Sterling diggings, over one hundred men are engaged, all making fair average wages, from three to Ave dollars per day and some doing much belter. Water is rarely had In these diggings beyond the early Spring, but this year the supply promises to continue until June. New diggings were discovered on the main fork of Applegalc creek, about eighteen miles above Sterling, a few weeks ago, which have prospected five dollars a day to the hand with pan and rocker. Quite a number have already commenced operations there, anj wo are told that claims arc staked along the creek for five or six miles. The creek claims can be worked during the greater portion of the year. About twenty miners arc at work at Sis'ii you City digging, which wero quit noted for n few months ef lust year, and afterwards be came almost forgotten. This season, tlic claims are paying good wages generally, but there Is little doubt that the extent of the aurif erous soil Is limited. 'I ho lew claims now worked will probably pay gooJ wages for yean. , , ,,,,,',,, ., Sterling creek, yielded fiom fair to very g td wages, i rncior x eo., iook ironi n second wndilng during last week about 8250, and the first washing ) lelded even richer. One or two other claims have done equally ai will. The ilitthei of Gallagher and of some others give plcnly of water. From Humbug crick our rrporli ire not very full. Hetwccn ilxly and seventy men are busily ul work there, all ol thorn doing fairly. A very few have commenced washing tip yet, ai they wish to mtku the most of the water still afforded, in ground sluicing. Our informant thinks that when all of them get fairly under way nt washing, the Average yield from that locality will be fully 81000 per elay. Some claims have been worked since the season first opened without any cleaning up, nnd In known rich pincers. The Willow Spring mines continue to pay well, and n goodly supply of water It hud, which by meant of dams will last for weeks jet. A geiitliincmaii from there nwurcs us that very few thvlmi pay less than five dollars per day to the hand, and some )Iv!d at high as twelve dollars per d.iy. The reports from Foote'i creek, GaH'i.Sam'i creek, Perkins', Table Hoik, and below Hogue rlvrr, arc generally favorable. No spccifle earnings are given u, but average wager ar, laid lo be made at each place. Iiwcr Applegate glvei usual good report An abnudinre of water, and iteady-gotrg wages from one week's end to another. 'He Clilnrse claims seem to pay even belter thau usual, although nothing definite ran be nsecr tallied from " John," as In hit general lurk. Up Jackson creek, the miners arc to a mm hird at work, and a few of them have begun cleaning up. Wo nrr told of two claims that have paid handsomely, belter lu fact, than they did last year. From Rich Gulch, Poor Man'a creek, left fork of Jaekson creek, Missouri Gulch, and one or two cither localities, we get no specific reports, but rumors of " all well and doing well." The mlneri on Pleasant creek nlnne appear to have seriously failed. last Winter Ihe-sc digging paid generally fair wages, and in two or three instances, since work was commenced tills season, good products were realized from partial washings. The oldest inherit there were, Indeed, so much encouraged from Ihc prosjiccli got ear'y this season, that they went lo the t xpeute of constructing a larger ditch nnd applying tho hvdraullc process to their claims. IjmI week, Ihc chief company washed up from nearly an aert-'a arra of rarlti and the product was only about 8J00. Two months ago, the same company got a larger amount from ground sluicing about a hundred yards. We have icen a gentleman who with four or five others that owned claims on Pleasant cruk, ltd there early in tho week. He in foi mi us that, In nearly every Instance, the diggings hut it failed thli season. From the previously good average product! of that locality vvc are not prepared to belleva that the mlnci nre exhausted, however, but, as somellmti will happen, tho miners have thanced upon the poorer portions of the paying earth. After a diligent inquiry from various sources, ni to the product! from the mines lu every direction, we are convinced that the Mason's total will far exceed that of any previous year, from the older diggings, aside from the con siderable augmentations contributed by the newly discovered digging! at Phoenix, and ut lesser points. The Winter hat been mot favorable to our mining Interests, and should our farmers fare aa well in tholr pursuits in the year commenced, this whole community will bo quite relieved from the depression under which tho mats now labor. 1 1 i Coxsistknv.

Colonel Hayne, In reply to tho President to-day, says : Although his emphatic refusal ol my demand closes the mission, no wtsnrs to correct tho impression that South Carolina wished to puribasc Fort Sumter. Carolina would make compensation for Injunry donu to property, but the Idea of purciiasc is entirely inconsistent wieu inc as sertion of paramount right In tho purchaser. Carolina cla'nts to have dissolved political an inert Ion, and destnyed all political relations of your Government with everything within her borders. She is a irparate nnd Indepen dent gnvernment, exercising a sovereignty over every foot of soil, except Sumter. The avowed Intention to hold Sumter as a military post by n rureign Government leaves Ihe authorities there to dctcriiilno the proper course to be pur sued. He asks the President If he was nvvarc that the holding of a fortress by a foreign power against the will of the authorities! Is the highest insult he can ofler. Ho savs Carolina litis not taken Sumter because of misplaced confidence In the Government, which has de ceived her, nnd thinks the reply to his dimaud, that the occupation of Fort Sumter Is nn cause of the Irritation, but fur the protection of Car olina. He concludes that if responsibility rests on South Carolina, that Government Is unconscious of llio fact.
