There IS not newspaper whose columns
nave not been filled with the names Of the
/ glorious defenders Of liberty during the me-
morable week in July. A large number of

toa mourntul fatality. Still more have re-
Geivsd precious wounds in thatnoble defence.
Out there Is another class the most numer.

active on that ocasion, but who, neyerthe-
less, received no wound, or il any, SO slight

we know all OF this last kind; we have seen
their names, the recital of their heroic actions
IN the newspapers-andt the list Of offices with
which they have been rewarded
Among the victims Of those great days, there
ls one however. one alone, Il believe, who has
taken decided part in the glorious contests
oil our brothers, and has not boastsd thereof
but who, nevertheless, every moment. day s.
night, expiates his devo,edness. His name
unknown TO all, has not appeared in the pub
lie papers; he is only known 10 few citizens,
who have shed tears upon the graves oil cur

It is Doc.
The attachment Of that excellent animal to
ATS master is well known, and the following

he rarely goes to it, as it seems to separate

GOLD raordi'ary.-Ws have sub
stantial foundation for the rumor of the last
toht tayx d,x. 81 a 4
sit of Coli discovered in this country The
account almost exceeds belief and surpasses
any thing of the kind in the history Of mining.
The land on which the gold was found, about
Is or 20 miles east of this place, was pur-
chased two or three years ago by Mr.. Carl
ton, from Virginia, for the purpose of mining,
who, after spending his time and money for
year or two, relinquished the undertaking
as unsuccessful. Lately, however, the work
was pursued by others, which has eventua-
ted in the discovery of this extraordinary rich
deposit, On the 7th inst The whole amount
OF gold obtained is variously stated to be
from IS to 100 pouads, bat from the state
ment of gentleman who was called upon to
make probable estimate Of the weight and
value, 1t is supposed there is at least one hun
dysd pounds Of Geld, oil obtained in one day.
| The gold was found in a small space, two or
three feet below the surface. in grains and
masses; weighing from ounces and pounds,
to pieces Of five, seven and eight po,nndst-
| There was no vein discovered, or any sight
Of any, but the labourers came suddenly up
On the whole mass Of gold deposited as it
| were in nest, and embedded in very red
clay.
On pursuing the labor Of digging during
the past week, we understood that no mole
discoveries have been mads---the rich depo-
sit being entirely isolated, promising no CEN
| tnuance of the extraordinary developement
The value Of the gold, it is estimated, will
| not come under $4,000, after being separa.
| ted from all extraneous substances.
The body of young woman, supposed to
have been drowned, was found at Musser's
Fishery, in Chaneeford Township, on the
l4th inst. She had on calico frock, lace
boots, white cotton stockings, fastened with
elastic garters, with silver clasps, and on her
finger two rings, one of gold, the other
metal unknown. She had no head dress
! There was nothing about her person TO give
any clue to her Rame.-York Repab.

the many incidents showing the fine spirit
