Mr. M. C. Pope left Thursday afternoon for Washington, to make the Wilkes county exhibit a certainty, and he has succeeded so well, that our other neighboring counties will have to stir around at a great rate if they expect to capture the ,$250 prize. From Wilkes, Mr. Tope went to Augusta, and from there to Atlanta, to consult promi nent manufacturers, in regai.' to making the people of North East Vieurgia ac quainted with them in November. His trip has been most successful and its results will certainly be shown at the Mr grounds.

Louis Fitzgerald, commanding the First brig ade, it was decided that this year the two brigades of New York and Brook lyn should be united to make a more imposing demonstration. The number of troops that was in line is estimated at 7.500; 4.500 of the First brigade and 3,- 000 of the Second. There was a band of music for every regiment, and the par ade was pleasing alike to eye and ear. The regiments formed on the streets crossing Fifth avenue between Fifty-first and fifty-ninth.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.—Chauncev M, De pew used some plain talk in regard to corners on the board of trade. “Old Hutch” expressed himself. Said he: ‘♦Really, what difference does it make if a loaf of bread does cost a cent mere? A man don’t eat more than a loaf of bread a day, and flour is a very small part of the average man's daily diet.

C., Oct. 20.—[Spe cial.]—The scene in tno house and sen ate at the end of the longest session on record was extremely uneventful. In the house an effort wai made to pass the pension bill, but Kilgore objected on many lias a ticket of her own, whicn the popularity of the labor candidate, Coogan, is gouig to injure. Split up in this mauner, the issue of the contest ap pears to me obscure, and seemed to point to tho excellent chances of the republi cans to Mature tho prize. Last night the comity democracy had its congressional convention, and poured btulical "hot coals’’ upon Tam many's brow by endorsing Messrs. Cox and Fitch for the 9th and 18th districts, respectively. Of course, they put sev eral of their own, too, in the field, but they made a step in the right direction, without really conceding anything very important. Politicians at a distance have no idea of the position of the New York city campaign in its relation with that of the national. Mr. Brice told me last night, confidentially, that he would rather sur render Connecticut or Now Jersey than be defeated in Gotham alone.

They looked at it, liked It, sent to Flood and O'Brien for a few hundred dollars, the claim was bought, the young man took tho money to Sacramento and drank D up. and Maokay soon discovered that he and hla partners owned the Consolidated Virgi nia,, which' was destined to become the most famous mine In the world. Then began the search for the treasure. For a long time the quartet firm, with all Its mining property, took out but little money, out Mackay kept steadily at work, i ’>. The -sazsistanoeu endurance and- skill required in bunting the ore' todjr was something to discourage most men. Ex perienced miners abandoned the project in pair, declaring that It would never pay its trouble and expense. But Mackay and his associates refused to bo discour aged. The old shaft of the central mine was utilized, and they pushed a drift northward from the 1,160 foot level of tho Gould and Curry, across the Best end Belcher end into the old “ Virginia pound." The distance wss more than ,200 feet, through rocks of the most dif ficult character. In October, 1870, a fire destroyed the buildings and all the valu able machinery of the company. The damage was soon repaired, and'work again pushed. Meanwhile the public watched Its progress with little faith, even rldl- ctiling Fair, O’Brien, Mackay and Flood. Suddenly the report came that rich ore had been struck. The stock shot up to fabulous figures, and all the world was eager to obtain it. The quantities of ore taken justified the enthusiasm of lnvast- or*. The product of that mine and the “California” has simply staggered the world. ' In six years they yielded In geld and silver $172,275,970, and from 1870 to 1879 the dividends which they paid were $70,000,000. Iu the height of tneir pros perity tho Consolidated Virginia ana the California company turned out a gross productof $5,000,000 a month. Each of tha bonanza partners drew from them at one time about $700,000 a month as his indi vidual share of the profits. In six years the Comstock lode—of which these two mines were but a part—yielded more than $800,000,000 In ore! OTHER CHRONICLE NOTES. “This office had a plasant call yester day from Mr. M.
