Side by side with these, hang a series of moat wretched libels on the art contributed by some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to set off to better advantuge, the productions of more skillful competitors. As that paper don’t give the name of the artist who send such pictures, it must be known, that A.

Wool, who ranks next to General Scott, wrote not long since to General Cass Secretary of State, saying: South Carolina says she intends to leave the Union. Her Representatives in Conwould seem that she is neither to be conciliated nor comforted. I command the Eastern Department, which includes South Oarolina, rgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. You know me well. I have ever been 4 firm, decided, faithiul and devoted friend of my country. If! can aid the President to pln hi the Union, I hope he will command my services. It will never do for him or you to leave Washington without every star in the Union is io its place. Therefore, no time should be lost in adopting measures to defeat those who are condelay may be no less fatal to the Union, than to the President, or your owa high standing asa statesman. A se tion of the States will bring with it the desolation of the cotton States, which are unprepared for war. Their weakpess will be found in the number of their slaves with but few of the essentials to carry on war, whilst the Free States have all the elements and materials for war, and to a greater extent than any other people on the face of the globe. Think of these things, my dear General, and save the country, and save the prosperous South from pestilence; famine and desolation, Peaceable secession is not to be thought of. Even if it thonld take place in three months we would have a bloody war on our hands, Quartz Discovery In Burre,—Thbree men by the name of Young. Blake and La Rossney, have discovered a quartz vein near Bloomer Hill, on the east side of the North Fork of Feather River, about fifteen miles from Oroville, which is supposed to be immensely rich, Having taken up a ravine claim in the neighberhood, they eut o small ditch, some two weeks since, around the point of a bill for the purpose of leading water toit, On the morning after its completion, one of the parties, while examining it found several pieces of gold on the embankment, which led to the discovery that the dirt thrown out at one point was extraordinarily rich. He commenced “pannin out,’’ and by noon had about a thoosand dollare. It appears that in digging the ditch, they had eut through a vein of decayed aang which, thus far, has yielded marvellonsly. Although only a very small amount of dirt and rock bave been taken out, we§ understand that the proprictors have realized something like twenty thousand dollare worth of gold. Should the vein continue as rich as it has proved thus far, the Bloomer Lead wil! be the richest ever yet discovered in the State. We are pleased to learn that it has fallen into the hands of industrious but hitherto poor men, who have been unfortunate in their river mining operations.—(Butte Democrat. How tue Sovran Aravrs.—A correspondent writes from Augusta, Ga., to the New York Herald: The people here are becoming rapid! impressed with the idea that itis to their interest, aside from the slavery question, to establish an independent government. They argue that the South pays, through the Ma eration of the tariff, $60,000,000 annually for the support of the Government, while the North pays but $20,000,000. Of the amount thus paid the South receives in return but $20,000,000, while the remainder is expended at the North. In other words, the South loses yearly by remaining ‘in the Unien the ernormous sum of $30,000,000. While, thea, “irrepressible”? Cuffee is the foundation of the secession movement, a class is rapidly forming who believe that after the first throes of revolution are over, . the South will advance rapidly in wealth and population, and in a short time rival if not outstrip the present Lng 9 (perhaps I ought even now to speak of it in the past tense) of the North. All this, however, is bat ulation, No man, however eminent his abilities, can ‘certainly forsee all the results of the destruction of this confederacy. And unfortunately those results that can be clearly forseen are all evil. Itis plain enough that each fragment (supposing the Union splits into two only) must descend to a position of a fourth rate power. ——_— a mT”? —_—-~-—Ooowrnrmnerraaar ss sg§g§‘§‘§‘g‘ z+‘ ng gg LA ee ea ee Law.—The will of Mr. Stockfleth, who recently commited suicide in San Francisco, has been filed in the Probate Court.

Hesitancy or . fo: NUMBER 417. nes ee te ‘The Summer Palace of the Emperor of China, me The Shanghai (China) correspondent of the Bulletin, telling of the fine plunder and excellent booty which the allies, bat mainly the Freneh, met with in China, eays: “The plunder at the Summer Palace has been almost without parallel ian modern hietory. Oould everything have been removed, "eed _ ee ne —_ _— udge owin on, which dean om oy ace (summer residence), which covers as much ground as the whole city of PeRin itself, had stores, where, for ages, valuable stones, pearls, la islagall, and many Euroti) Phe rooms alone have been, estima to contain stuffs valoed at $50,000,000. The jewels, watches, China ware, . laing, ete., etc., were countless, Silk” so abundant that seats and carts were covered with it, It was trampled over liko gravel. Soldiers used it to tie bundles, and r harness to horses and wules. The burning of everything lasted six days, and every store was destroyed: nota particle is left but cinders and ashes, The parks, gardens, and lakes, that had created such a general admiration, are no more, No pen cao give an idea of the artificial labor which had made this Palace one of the wonders of the world, and perbaps the greatest in China. No estimation can be made of the real value of the buildings and gardens —the work of ages; but the movable goods bave been estimated, as I have said, at about two hundred millions of dollars, The throne, which could not be removed, was a wonder of richness, The heavy and boaautiful bronze vases te some 100 tons. The scalptures (marble). were of the greatest and finest taste, I have heard so many descriptions from various and authentic sources, whichall agree, that I cannot doubt the trath. The highest officers in the army, whom I know all well—above all, the staff and the aids-de-camp—have all the same i about the Yuen-ming-Yueo, which the Emperor had the fatal idea to abandon. If he ha@ signed the treaty at Tientsin, he would have spared many, many millions—and his honor also.’’ Secession Tut Doom or Stavery.—Andrew Johnson, of Tenfessee, in his late speech in the U. 8. Senate, said: There are many ideas afloat about this threatened dissolution, and ft is time to speak out, The question arises in reference to the protection and preservation of the institution of slavery—whether dissolution is a remedy or will give toit protection. I avow here to-day that if I were an abolitionist, and wanted to accomplish the overthrow and abolition of the institution of slavery in the Southern States, the first step that I would take would be to break the bonds of this Union and dissolve this governmet. I believe the continuance of slavery depends upon the preservation of this Union and a compliance with all the guaranties of the Constitution. I believe an interference with it will break up the Union ; and I believe a dissolution of the Union will, in the end— though it may be some to come—overthrow the institution of slavery. Hence we find so many in the North who desire a dissolution of these States as the most certain and direct and effectual means of overthrowing the institution of slavery, . What protection would it be to us to dissolve this Union? What protection would it be to us to convert this nation into two hostile rere the one warring with the other? Whose property is at stake? Whose interest is endangered? Is it not the property of the border States? Suppose Canada were moved down upon our border,.and the two separated sections, then different nations, were hostile; what would the institation of slavery be worth on.the border ? Every man who bas common sense will see that the institution would take ap its march and retreat, as certainly and as unerringly as general laws can operate. Yer, it would commence to retreat the very moment this government was converted into hostile powers, and you made the line between the slaveholding and non-elaveholding States the line of division. FLoripa anp MississiprP1 Bonpvs,—Before Florida entered the Union she issuei a million or two of dollars of bonds, which were taken by English bankers. They were never paid, nor was payment of them ever assumed by the General Government. A commission was appointed to examine the matter a few yeare since, which sat in London, but finally concluded that nothing could be done for the creditors, as Florida, while a member of the Union, could not be coerced to pay. But if Florida goés out and becomes an independent nation, the bondholders will probably ask the British Govert.ment to compel payment of these claims by armed force. has a similar prospect before her in regard to her repudiated bends.
