According to present information the most

Under the above head an eastern paper
thas announces the discovery of gold in that
State :—
Towa has met with a most deplorable misfortune—one which, uniess it can be soon
overcome, will stop her rapid growth, suspend her agricultural prospects and ruin
her people. Genuine gold has been found
in several of her counties, and the execitement is, consequently, great. The Keoknk
Journal of the 6th inst. has.the following
intelligence respecting the discoveries,
which is in addition to that already afloat in
the newspapers. Poer jowa!
In addition to the items in relation to this
discovery which we gave last weck we add
the following :—We quote from a paper
published in the immediate vicinity of the
mings :-—
‘** At the present time men are af work in
a rough, joosc manuer, at different ‘pidtes;” am
and, report says, are making from $2 to $4
per day, with an oceasional “ten strike.”
Lumps have been found, worth from four
to five dollars, but it is generally found in
small particles, each pan of dirt containing
from three to nine colorings.’
From 50 to one hundred hands are at
work on south River, turning its course, in
order to work the present channel. Enough
gold has been found to warrant, it ‘is
thought, tbe labor required to tarn the river
into another channel. Fine particles of gold
bave been found on the banks of the river,
yielding a good return for the labor required
in separating it from the sand.”
A Truly National Beok.
The well known author, Charles Lauman
is now at work upon a book of truly national character and merit. Itisa Biographical Dictionary of all the members of the
American Congress fromthe organization
of the Government. Mr. L. is in Washington gathering from members of Congress

j eral good harbors, and also several small .
'rivers emptying into the sca. Vancouver
. speaks of “two good harbors” in this vi.
'cinity which he named respectively Ports .
. John and Restoration. Now is it not possi. bleto find a good wagon road route from .
. one of these harbors to the head waters of!
. Frazer river. Let us see. .
; usa little work published in London, Eay,, .
We have before .
in 1846, and witten by Rev. C: G. Nicolay, .
. from which we learn that in the fall of 1792, .
. McKenzie, the discoverer of the river of that
name,with a small company of trappers and . the
8, left Fort Chippeway and ascended .
to the upper waters of Peace River, a tributary of the McKenzie, where he wintered.—
The next spring he ascended Peace River .
and finding that it had its source to the!
westward of the Rocky Mountains, followed
it up toa lake, where it tookitsrise. Abont .
haifa mile from this lake, by a well beaten .
. Indian trail. over which he carried his ca.
}
1
noes, he found another lake, the outlet of .
which flowed south-westward. He went!
ascertained that it was the Frazer. He then .
retraced his steps about half the distance
where he built a log cabin and hoised .
his canoe and such articles as the party did
not wish to take overland. From this point .
the party started overland for the Pacifie ;
having first been assured by the Indians that .
they eould reach the sea coast from that
pointin eight days. The party set out encumbered withthe necessary provisions for
the voyage, and in addition thereto “arms,
ammunition, instruments for astronomical .
observations, and artigles for presents.”—
The account does not state how much time
the party occupied in making the tranait,
but from the glowing description of the
country we are led to believe the trip was
an easy, as well as short one. Soon after
starting he arrived at the head waters of a
small river where the parties purchased ca. noes of the Indians, and. coneluded the trip
with them to the sea coast, aud thence along
the same two or three days until they arrived opposite the northern extremity of Vancouver’s Island to which they crossed.
These facts appear to us important at this
time as indicating the practicability of find.
ing a good site for a seaport near where McKenzie reached the coast, and from thence
by river and road of casy grade to the head
waters of Frazer, down which supplies may
be readily taken to all the principal mining
camps that may be established.
When McKenzie reached the coast he
painted, in lurge letters, upon the face of a
prominent ledge of rocks, an appropriate inscripton which was seen and read by the
traveler Dunn, who visited the location 41 .
years afterwards.
FaTRIoTIC.—The citizens of El Dorado
county are patriotic—almost to a fault.—
According tothe Mountain Democrat a
number of the prominent citizens of that
county have already enrolled themselves
for the purpose of organizing a mounted
rifle company, in view of an anticipated .
immediate war with England! They intend .
to hold themselves in rediness to march at a.
mountains to the ndMQof that place still

= Another Pool of Silezns.
The Trinity Journal says that in the .
uninhabited, is a small lak® which at times .
} Some mys.
terious ageni troubles he waters; we do
not know at how long intervals, but have .
twice seen its inexplicable agitation. Millious of bubbles come up to the surface and
water trembles as though innumerable
ittle fishes were” splashing about, near
enough to the tomto cause rings and waves
on the pond. No living creatures are visible in the water, except small frogs, who,
when the exhibiiion begins, go ashore ia!
great numbers. Some suppose that the distarbance is occasfoned by the escape of gas,
generated in an undeground laboratory ;
others think it is caused by.the subterranean
discharge of lake waters, by the operations
of a sypbon ; while persons less scientific
.
millions ot little fishes and tadpoles going
on a spree. But in that lonesome place,
without evet a bird to disturb the stillness,
we confess to having felt a shade a superstition at the bubbling cauldron. It reminded
one of the pool of Siloam, where a spirit
came and troubled the waters; but around
this mid-forest fountgin there were none of
the lame, or balt, or leprous, waiting to
; lave their shrunken limbs or burning brows
in the pool which trembled at the invisible
touch of Deity.
June Ratys—The showers which fell on
the 16th and 17th of Sune; appear to have
extended very generally over the State.—
According to the receérd in the State Register they are the segond June rains we have
had since 1849. In 1754, four inches of
rain fell in June’; in 1849 showers fell in
