"Hatch is president inltalfforts to pro-core the surrender of the murderers of Agent Meeker.

Nov. 15th, 1879. Eds. Post: Leadville is situated in th9 heart of-the Rocky Mountains, in California Gulch, Park county, Colorado, and 125 miles from Denver. It is another evidence of the wonderful growth of American cities.

Two yf ars ago It contained a half dozen log cabins, and to-day it is the second city in the State, with a population of 30,000, and doing an immense mercantile business, having finely laid out rsreets, buildings, the finest of which, just completed, is the Tabor Opera House, costing $30,000, besides four other theatres, all doing a good business. There are five first class hotels, the nrinciDal one. the Claren don, situated on Harrison Terms $4,00 a day. honses are numerous, almost every other bulldingls either a dance ball or gambling house. Of the above population only about 2000 are womeu.

The principal occuptlon of the inhabitants is mining, this being the rich est Carbonate Camp in the workL There are some twenty-five smelters engaged in handling the besides several sampling works and a small army of assayers. The principal minerals found are gold, silver and lead, and runs from twenty to a thousand ounces of the precious metal to the ton of ore. Wages for miners are three dollars a day. Work at the present time is plentiful. No one need be idle.

Fortunes are made here in a day. Silver was first discovered here two years ago by an Irishman. Among the principal paying mines are the Httsburg," "Kobert E. Lee," "Highland Chief," and the "Black Prince," but there are hundreds of others. Situated as the city is in a valley entirely surround ed by mountains, one of the most beauti ful sights beheld is at night when the camp fires are- lighted at the different mines in the mountains, it is a scene, once witnessed, never to be forgotten.

The railroad has not arrived at Leadville yet It is thirty-five miles away, and goods have to.be named that distance over the worst portion of the Rockies to reach hero. They are extending the road as fast as possible and expect to have it completed by Spring. There are four daily papers here and all are flourishing. Shamus O'Bhixjj. MICROSCOPY.

One instance of this kind is the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which from a feeble band, meeting in an obscure room, has duplicated itself, and a few months since found it necessary to seek greatly enlarged quarters.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS. Coleman Co of 610 Arch street, Philadelphia, and 808 Federal street, Camden, report the sale of houses No. 14, 16, 18 and 20 South Eighth street, and 815 and 817 Bridge avenue, Camden, to two gentlemen of Mt Holly who purchase for investment Also the Dwelling and Store N.

Corner Sixth and Vine streets, Camden, and a 50 acre farm at Clayton, N. to a party from Philadelphia. Dwelling No. 609 North Second street they have disposed of to a resident of Burlington. Prices all satisfactory.

Coleman state there is now much more activity in real estate and an increasing demand for houses to rent. After twenty-five years experience in the real estate business they say there never has been a time during this period when there has been such a favorable opportunity ss the present for profitable investment. Material of all kinds and labor has advanced and must continue to increase in cost. A-BRUTE SEVERELY PUNISHED. Henry Brannon, a white man who was indicted and arraigned at this term of the New Castle court for a brutal assault on July 20 last on Martha Morris, the daughter, 7 years old, of a fanner of this county, was again arraigned on Saturday afternoon and permitted to withdraw his plea of not guilty of rape, and to plead guilty to assault with intent to commit rape.

This course was adopted because of the extreme youth and timidity of the prosecuting witness, and because, while there is no doubt of the attempt, theie is, according to the opinion of the physician, some question as to whether Brannon really succeeded in his foul purpose. The crime was a most aggravated one, and notwithstanding the usual custom in-this court to allow a plea of guilty to mitigate the sentence, the full penalty of the law was passed upon the prisoner ten years' imprisonment, thirty lashes on the bare back, one hour in the pillory and a fine of $500.

now in session at requiring him- to bave Thomas Graham before that body by a quarter to ten this morning, to plead to an indictment for murder, found against him at the May term of court, 1878.

Benjamin Hunter, the principal in the murder, was indicted, tried and convicted, principally upon Gra- ham's evidence, at the May term, 1878, and executed January 9th, 1879. Prosecutor Jenkins desired to try Graham for a murder in the first degree, but Attorney General Stockton insisted upon accepting a plea of murder in the second degree and carried the case up to the Supreme Court to obtain a decision from that body upon the point, whether such 1 UN a plea couia oe receivea.

j.ne Court in this county appointed Peter L. Yoorhees and Philip S. Scovel, Esqa as counsel, and the case has been argued before the Supreme Court, but as the question involved new point of law and practice in this" State, the Supreme Justices desired to give the matter the fullest consideration, and were not ready until now to give a decision. Accompanying the order was a request to ksep the affair quiet, as, if It were known, the Supreme Court Boom would have been crowded with an excited audience. As it was, Sheriff Calhoun quIeW ly escorted Graham to the depot, this morning, time for the ,7:30 train -for Trenton, and few who saw him this morning knew who biscompanion was.
