A Trip to the Puebla Silver District. SHASTA COURIER. Editor Cockier :—Having just returned from a prospecting tour through the northern part of Nevada Territory, and having been applied to by many of my friends to give my experience and observations of the trip to Puebla silver district, I beg leave to state that as custom and propriety has given the right to a voyager to furnish the press with notes and observations of his travels, you would not think me ostentatious if I give a plain, brief statement of my experience and impressions of the country over which I passed. California is a land of beauty and attract- ive landscapes. How few there are who can realize the great change in the outward ap- pearance of the earth’s formation after you descend the eastern slope of the Sierra Neva- da Mountains. Alkali plains and barren mountains extend the whole length and breadth of Nevada Territory. Whilst cross- ing the Black Rock Desert there is nothing revealed to our vision pleasing to look upon, unless it is the mountains, which rise abrupt- ly from the plain to a considerable height, and not a tree nor shrub could be seen to re- lieve the eye from the dark belt of volcanic rocks which circle one above the other around the mountains. With this exception there is nothing to relieve the monotony, except an occasional adobe cabin where there is a spring and one hundred and sixty acres of sage brush have been pre-empted. Every- where the high parched plains, covered with sagebrush and greasewood, and shining, gleaming, ash-colored earth, are barren in the extreme. Patches of sage brush are scattered along on cither side of the desert, near the foot bills, whilst a wide belt of alkali extends through the centre of the desert, whose surface is as level as a floor and as white as snow. Oa several occasions, while crossing this plain, I have witnessed mirages of fantastic images, resembling at times an army with banners and gleaming bayonets, and at oth- ers changing to a splendid city, with its pal- aces, and domes, and minarets sparkling in the sun beams. Then again can he seen a beautiful lake, which appeared tear at hand, surrounded by trees, and so distinct to the eye that the ripples of the water were plainly discernible. These illusions are owing to the reflection of light between two strata of air of different densities, occasioned by the radia- tion of heat from the arid soil. Before you set out in the morning the way is clear from obstructions, and your eye stretches far away over over the and plain, and you see some landmark which you think you will soon approach ; hut you travel mile after mile, and you become thirsty and fa- tigued, and apparently the object seems no nearer than wnen you first started. And as you pass abmg, the sun’s hot rays, reflecting upon the still hotter alkali sands, is disa greeable in the extreme. Yonder in the dis lance sand spouts, tall and thread like, are seen waltzing to and fro over the desert alkali plains. These are largo columns of sand carried high into the air by the whirlwinds. Sometimes hut a single column is visible; ■■gain there will he ten or fifteen in sight, stealing about like the ghosts of as many giants, all from ten to thirty miles away.— These are seen during the afternoon, rising up from the level plain, regularly about two o'clock, during the summer season. Passing around Black Rock to the cast and northward, we took tip the plain o -, er which Queens river flows, sinking and rising, and finally disappearing beneath the surface.— The plain narrowed as we ascended, and thirty miles brought us the great south bend in Queens river, where Puebla Valley intersects it from the northward. Puebla Valley commences to rise gradually after leaving Q teens river, for fifteen miles, till a 1 iw divide, with a good puss for a wagon road is reached ; thence fifteen miles further we descended over a gradual inclined plain to Puebla Valley, which extends north and south, and on the west side of which Puebla Mountain is located. But there is a better and nearer way to Puebla, and it can he reached within two hundred and fifty miles. The point of starting is from Shasta, by the way of Fort Crook, thence to Goose Lake, which is about fifteen miles from Surprise Valley. Passing through Surprise Valley, the wagon road follows Lassen’s old emigrant road south east towards Black Rock some thirty miles, to the north end of Mud Lake, where you strike a valley leading north-east to Puebla Valley, making the disianee some sixty miles from Surprise Valley to Puebla Valley. This route can bo traveled at all seasons, being through a succession of valleys "between mountains, and supplied with an abundance of grass and water the whole dis- tance. After crossing the Sierra Nava da Moun- tains twice, my impressions are that still a nearer and better route from this point can be opened direct to Surprise Valley, by leaving the road at Black Butte Valley and keeping in a north-easterly direction to Sur- prise Valley, thence to Pueblo, which will shorten the road from twenty-five to fifty miles, with little expense. The geological formation of Puebla Moun- tain is a little remarkable, slate, limestone and granite seeming to form a confused mass; sometimes the one, and again the other pre- dominating. It extends continuously about fifteen miles. The crest is sharp and regular and rising about five thousand feet above the plain. This is the most regular mountain in its formation I have ever seen. It has the appearance of having been upheave-! bv some vulcanic force in front of another mountain. All the ledges and outcroppings of granite, limestone, slate and quartz preserve a par- allel course the whole length of the range, and pitch to the east. lam persuaded that taking the mines here generally, they can be worked to better advantage, with much less expense, and with greater relative profit than any mines found elsewhere, even if the facil- ities are not so good as in other districts. There are many rich mines in other districts which have only paid expenses of working from the commencement. This is owing to the largo expenditures in thoroughly devel- oping the mine I y sinking shafts, running tunnels, Ac., to find the ledge. But this is not the case with the Puebla mines. They can be traced for miles by their outcroppings and will pay for working ftom the top. Suf- ficient work has been done upon many of the ledges to set the matter entirely at rest, and every day’s observation, while I was there, enables me to speak with some degree of cer tainty, and which also serves to strengthen the coryecture in my mind that many of the ledges here will prove to be permanent. On a few of these ledges considerable work has been done, and many tuns of oro taken out. crushed and concentrated, and I have no doubt of it« richness when reduced to bullion. From some assays I made I found some of the ores to vary from twenty-five to five hundred dollars per tun. The formation in which these ores occur is plutonic and metamorphic rock. These rooks, stretching along in belts from the baie to the summit, aro ia many places inter- stratified with layers of micacions schist, associated with quartz, magnesian limestone, fluor-spar and granite. In this district the general character of the ores differ in their combinations with mineral of other districts. Base metals are rarely found in these mines, which will render the rock easier to be work- ed and reduced to bullion. Argentiferous copper from the croppings is the base of these mines, or more properly a belt of continuous copper veins running in a northerly and southerly course, which can be traced by outcroppings the whole length of the moun- tain. Ater a thorough examination of two months, and the different assays made, I consider these mines, if properly worked, would be more remunerative than any other mines I have seen in this Territory, and I may safely add, are as good, if not better, than any other yet discovered upon this con- tinent. 0. K. GODFREY. WAR NEWS. New York, 4th.—City Pojnt correspon- dent of 2d says Generals Hampton, W. H. Lee and Young, with two regiments of cav- alry and several regiments ot infantry attack- ed Wilson’s cavalry, on Warren’s left, under cover of a rain storm. Desperate engage- ment ensued, but we maintained our ground, and towards night rebels fell back. Our loss 100 killed and wounded. World's 10th corps correspondent under date of Ist says Birney again pushed fear- lessly up to very outskirts of city, and was only prevented from entering and taking pos- session because his orders would uot permit him. This morning General Terry’s divis- ion and Kautz's cavalry madea reconnoisance to ascertain rebel strength in immediate vi- cinity of Richmond. They advanced with considerable skirmishing on the central road to within 3 miles of Richmond, where rebels opened with artillery from their main works. Disregarding this they drove rebel skirmish- ers into their works- at Sharp’s house, two miles from Richmond. These works are very formidable, similar to those in our front at Laurel Hill. They mount heavy guns, but are manned by militia men pressed from stores, shops, factories, Jcc., to meet emergen- cy. Expedition having accomplished all de- sired, fell back. Our losses 300. Prisoners report present strength of Lee's army at Pe- tersburg 20.000. north of James, 40,000, and militia scattered in different directions. A railroad man captured to-day asserts that on Monday GOOO troops were moving from Lynchburg to Gordonsville. Two brigades of Kershaw’s command had previously been sent forward for some purpose. Must of pris- oners captured are rawest kind of soldiers, just thrust into the ranks. When an advance is made every man capable of bearing arms is sent into field, and business is suspended. Shenandoah correspondent opposite Browns Gap. 29th, says no general engagement has taken place since Fisher’s Hill. Enemy left valley through Brown’s Gap. Early much dispirited and.drank heavily. Over 2,000 rebels scattered through mountains without arms, approaching starvation. Enemy had gone towards Charlottsville. October Ist.—Everything favorable to this time. All objects of the campaign have been reached. A Voice from the Armv.—Auguste Tem- ple, Lieutenant in nn Illitiois regiment, a German by birth, whoMias served out bis time in the U. S. Army, and is now on a short vis- it to his uncle in this valley, has had a mar- velous military experience. Temple is a surgeon, and dur ng his service ut three years —mainly under Grant in the west—has am- putated 1.000 arms and legs ol wounded sol diers. When not occupied at his profession ho was fighting in the ranks. He has been in forty three battles and engagements, in- cluding Vicksburg; has been wounded five times—tbiee times shot through the body, once through the thigh and once received a sabre out on the left shoulder, while in the act of firing a musket at the enemy. Yet he is in haste to go hack and join the army, such is the inspiration of war to those who have shared in its dangers and excitements. Mr. Temple says thearmy is for Lincoln al- most to a man. This brave mao is about 32 years of age, very intelligent, and enthusi- astic for the cause of the Union. Cannot the Union men of Stockton prevail upon him to address our people publicly before leaving the county. —Stockton Independent. CUSHINC 8l BUSH. BULLY HILL FEET NOT FOR SALE!

Springfield, Illinois, June 7th, 1859* Messrs. A. L. Scovill A Co., Gents:— My son. who is now seven years old, has been afflicted with Scrofula for more that two years. It first made its appearance in small knots on the glands of the neck, under the skin. Our family physician, who attended him, said he could not cure hint, although he bad been under his at- tendance when the disease made its first appear- ance; and instead of curing him he grew worse, and, finally, the sore broke, and has since contin- ued to discharge, until I got DR. MOTT’S VEG- ETABLE LIVER PILLS. ' He commenced using them about one year ago; and in less than three months he was well, and instead of a weak, delicate child, he is now well, healthy and robust. Yours, truly, James Allen. COSTIVENESS CURED. Urbaxa, Ohio. September 26, 1858. Messrs. A. L. Scovill A Co : I have been troubl.d with a torpid action of the bowels for six or seven years, which has been the cause of a great deal ol suffering to me, and I had to deprive myself of many kinds of food, and used much oatmeal, etc., until I got DR.

A Trip to the Puebla Silver District.

SHASTA COURIER.

Editor Cockier :—Having just returnedfrom a prospecting tour through the northernpart of Nevada Territory, and having beenapplied to by many of my friends to give myexperience and observations of the trip toPuebla silver district, I beg leave to statethat as custom and propriety has given theright to a voyager to furnish the press withnotes and observations of his travels, youwould not think me ostentatious if I give aplain, brief statement of my experience andimpressions of the country over which I

passed.California is a land of beauty and attract-

ive landscapes. How few there are who canrealize the great change in the outward ap-pearance of the earth’s formation after youdescend the eastern slope of the Sierra Neva-da Mountains. Alkali plains and barren

mountains extend the whole length andbreadth of Nevada Territory. Whilst cross-

ing the Black Rock Desert there is nothingrevealed to our vision pleasing to look upon,unless it is the mountains, which rise abrupt-ly from the plain to a considerable height,and not a tree nor shrub could be seen to re-lieve the eye from the dark belt of volcanicrocks which circle one above the other aroundthe mountains. With this exception there isnothing to relieve the monotony, except anoccasional adobe cabin where there is aspring and one hundred and sixty acres ofsage brush have been pre-empted. Every-where the high parched plains, covered withsagebrush and greasewood, and shining,gleaming, ash-colored earth, are barren inthe extreme. Patches of sage brush arescattered along on cither side of the desert,near the foot bills, whilst a wide belt of alkaliextends through the centre of the desert,whose surface is as level as a floor and aswhite as snow.

Oa several occasions, while crossing thisplain, I have witnessed mirages of fantasticimages, resembling at times an army withbanners and gleaming bayonets, and at oth-ers changing to a splendid city, with its pal-aces, and domes, and minarets sparkling inthe sun beams. Then again can he seen abeautiful lake, which appeared tear at hand,surrounded by trees, and so distinct to theeye that the ripples of the water were plainlydiscernible. These illusions are owing to thereflection of light between two strata of airofdifferent densities, occasioned by the radia-tion of heat from the arid soil.

Before you set out in the morning the wayis clear from obstructions, and your eyestretches far away over over the and plain,and you see some landmark which you thinkyou will soon approach ; hut you travel mileafter mile, and you become thirsty and fa-tigued, and apparently the object seems nonearer than wnen you first started. And asyou pass abmg, the sun’s hot rays, reflectingupon the still hotter alkali sands, is disagreeable in the extreme. Yonder in the dislance sand spouts, tall and thread like, areseen waltzing to and fro over the desert alkaliplains. These are largo columns of sandcarried high into the air by the whirlwinds.Sometimes hut a single column is visible;■■gain there will he ten or fifteen in sight,stealing about like the ghosts of as manygiants, all from ten to thirty miles away.—These are seen during the afternoon, risingup from the level plain, regularly about twoo'clock, during the summer season.

Passing around Black Rock to the cast andnorthward, we took tip the plain o -, er whichQueens river flows, sinking and rising, andfinally disappearing beneath the surface.—The plain narrowed as we ascended, andthirty miles brought us the great southbend in Queens river, where Puebla Valleyintersects it from the northward. PueblaValley commences to rise gradually afterleaving Q teens river, for fifteen miles, till a1 iw divide, with a good puss for a wagon roadis reached ; thence fifteen miles further wedescended over a gradual inclined plain toPuebla Valley, which extends north andsouth, and on the west side of which PueblaMountain is located. But there is a betterand nearer way to Puebla, and it can hereached within two hundred and fifty miles.The point of starting is from Shasta, by theway of Fort Crook, thence to Goose Lake,which is about fifteen miles from SurpriseValley. Passing through Surprise Valley,the wagon road follows Lassen’s old emigrantroad south east towards Black Rock somethirty miles, to the north end of Mud Lake,where you strike a valley leading north-eastto Puebla Valley, making the disianee somesixty miles from Surprise Valley to PueblaValley. This route can bo traveled at allseasons, being through a succession of valleys

"between mountains, and supplied with anabundance of grass and water the whole dis-tance.

After crossing the Sierra Navada Moun-tains twice, my impressions are that still anearer and better route from this point canbe opened direct to Surprise Valley, byleaving the road at Black Butte Valley andkeeping in a north-easterly direction to Sur-prise Valley, thence to Pueblo, which willshorten the road from twenty-five to fiftymiles, with little expense.

The geological formation of Puebla Moun-tain is a little remarkable, slate, limestoneand granite seeming to form a confused mass;sometimes the one, and again the other pre-dominating. It extends continuously aboutfifteen miles. The crest is sharp and regularand rising about five thousand feet above theplain. This is the most regular mountain inits formation I have ever seen. It has theappearance of having been upheave-! bv somevulcanic force in front of another mountain.All the ledges and outcroppings of granite,limestone, slate and quartz preserve a par-allel course the whole length of the range,and pitch to the east. lam persuaded thattaking the mines here generally, they can beworked to better advantage, with much lessexpense, and with greater relative profit thanany mines found elsewhere, even if the facil-ities are not so good as in other districts.There are many rich mines in other districtswhich have only paid expenses of workingfrom the commencement. This is owing tothe largo expenditures in thoroughly devel-oping the mine I y sinking shafts, runningtunnels, Ac., to find the ledge. But this isnot the case with the Puebla mines. Theycan be traced for miles by their outcroppingsand will pay for working ftom the top. Suf-ficient work has been done upon many of theledges to set the matter entirely at rest, andevery day’s observation, while I was there,enables me to speak with some degree of certainty, and which also serves to strengthenthe coryecture in my mind that many of theledges here will prove to be permanent.

On a few ofthese ledges considerable workhas been done, and many tuns of oro takenout. crushed and concentrated, and I haveno doubt of it« richness when reduced to

bullion. From some assays I made I foundsome of the ores to vary from twenty-five tofive hundred dollars per tun.

The formation in which these ores occur isplutonic and metamorphic rock. Theserooks, stretching along in belts from thebaie to the summit, aro ia many places inter-stratified with layers of micacions schist,associated with quartz, magnesian limestone,fluor-spar and granite. In this district thegeneral character of the ores differ in theircombinations with mineral of other districts.Base metals are rarely found in these mines,which will render the rock easier to be work-ed and reduced to bullion. Argentiferouscopper from the croppings is the base of thesemines, or more properly a belt of continuouscopper veins running in a northerly andsoutherly course, which can be traced byoutcroppings the whole length of the moun-tain.

Ater a thorough examination of twomonths, and the different assays made, Iconsider these mines, if properly worked,would be more remunerative than any othermines I have seen in this Territory, and Imay safely add, are as good, if not better,than any other yet discovered upon this con-tinent. 0.

WAR NEWS.

New York, 4th.—City Pojnt correspon-dent of 2d says Generals Hampton, W. H.Lee and Young, with two regiments of cav-alry and several regiments ot infantryattack-ed Wilson’s cavalry, on Warren’s left, undercover of a rain storm. Desperate engage-ment ensued, but we maintained our ground,and towards night rebels fell back. Our loss100 killed and wounded.

World's 10th corps correspondent underdate of Ist says Birney again pushed fear-lessly up to very outskirts of city, and wasonly prevented from entering and taking pos-session because his orders would uot permithim. This morning General Terry’s divis-ion andKautz's cavalry madea reconnoisanceto ascertain rebel strength in immediate vi-cinity of Richmond. They advanced withconsiderable skirmishing on the central roadto within 3 miles of Richmond, where rebelsopened with artillery from their main works.Disregarding this they drove rebel skirmish-ers into their works- at Sharp’s house, twomiles from Richmond. These works arevery formidable, similar to those in our frontat Laurel Hill. They mount heavy guns, butare manned by militia men pressed fromstores, shops, factories, Jcc., to meet emergen-cy. Expedition having accomplished all de-sired, fell back. Our losses 300. Prisonersreport present strength of Lee's army at Pe-tersburg 20.000. north of James, 40,000, andmilitia scattered in different directions. Arailroad man captured to-day asserts that onMonday GOOO troops were moving fromLynchburg to Gordonsville. Two brigadesof Kershaw’s command had previously beensent forward for some purpose. Must of pris-oners captured are rawest kind of soldiers,just thrust into the ranks. When an advanceis made every man capable of bearing armsis sent into field, and business is suspended.Shenandoah correspondent opposite Browns

Gap. 29th, says no general engagement hastaken place since Fisher’s Hill. Enemy leftvalley through Brown’s Gap. Early muchdispirited and.drank heavily. Over 2,000rebels scattered through mountains withoutarms, approaching starvation. Enemy hadgone towards Charlottsville.

October Ist.—Everything favorable to thistime. All objects of the campaign have beenreached.

A Voice from the Armv.—Auguste Tem-ple, Lieutenant in nn Illitiois regiment, aGerman by birth, whoMias served out bistimein the U. S. Army, and is now on a short vis-it to his uncle in this valley, has had a mar-velous military experience. Temple is asurgeon, and dur ng his service ut three years—mainly under Grant in the west—has am-putated 1.000 arms and legs ol wounded soldiers. When not occupied at his professionho was fighting in the ranks. He has beenin forty three battles and engagements, in-cluding Vicksburg; has been wounded fivetimes—tbiee times shot through the body,once through the thigh and once received asabre out on the left shoulder, while in theact of firing a musket at the enemy. Yet heis in haste to go hack and join the army,such is the inspiration of war to those whohave shared in its dangers and excitements.Mr. Temple says thearmy is for Lincoln al-most to a man. This brave mao is about 32years of age, very intelligent, and enthusi-astic for the cause of the Union. Cannot theUnion men of Stockton prevail upon him toaddress our people publicly before leavingthe county.—Stockton Independent.

Scrofula,Goitre, Scald Head, Barber’s Itch, Sore Eyes,Pimples on the Skin, and Old Sores, the treatmentwith the Pills should be continued for a longerlime than with less stubborn diseases,

SCROFULA CURED.Springfield, Illinois, June 7th, 1859*

Messrs. A. L. Scovill A Co.,Gents:— My son. who is now seven years old,

has been afflicted with Scrofula for more that twoyears. It first made its appearance in small knotson the glands of the neck, under the skin. Ourfamily physician, who attended him, said he couldnot cure hint, although he bad been under his at-tendance when the disease made its first appear-ance; and instead of curing him he grew worse,and, finally, the sore broke, and has since contin-ued to discharge, until I got DR. MOTT’S VEG-ETABLE LIVER PILLS. ' He commenced usingthem about one year ago; and in less than threemonths he was well, and instead ofa weak, delicatechild, he is now well, healthy and robust.

Yours, truly, James Allen.
