ROMANCE OF GEORGIA MINING.-A correspon-
dent of the National Intelligencer, writing from
Dahlonega, the most famous gold region OF Georgia,
tells the following anecdotes:
After the State Legislature had divided the
Cherokee Purchase into lots and regularly num-
bered them, it was rumored about the country that
lot No. 1852 was great prize, and every body was
tiptoe with regard TO its distribution by the pro-
posed lottery. At that time 1852 figured in the
dreams of every Georgian, and those figures were
then far more popular than the figures 81 40 have
been in these latter days. Among the more crazy
individuals who attended the lottery was one
Mosely who had determined 10 draw the much
talked Of prize purchase OF the D,nner, even
though it should be at the cost of his entire pro-
perty, which was quite large. The drawing took
place, and 1852 came into the possession of a poor
farmer named Ellison. Mosely Immediately noun
ted his horse and fastened to Ellisons farm, where
he found the child of fortune following the plough,
The would be purchaser made known the object OF
his visit, and Ellison only laughed at the impetu-
osity of his impatient friend. Ellison said he was
not anxious to sell the lot, but if Mosely must have
it, he might have it for $4,000 Moseiy acceded
to the terms, and in paying for the lot sacrced the
most of his landed and personal property. The little
property which was left him he was compelled to
employ in working his mines he labored with
great diligence for several years. but he could never
make both ends meet, for his mines were not at all
distinguished for their richness. In process of time
he was competed to sell 1852 for what it would
bring and having squandered that remnant of his
former wealth, he left the country for parts un-
known, veritable beggar. But, what is more sin
gular than all, the present proprietor OF lo22
is that identical man Ellison, who is annually
realizing a handsome sum of money from the newly
discovered gold ore found in the bowels of his
lottery lot.
Another instance of good fortune, unattended
with any alloy, is as follows: Five years ago a
r. rhp at fh,
Georgia railroad took it into their heads to visit
nahlonega and try their luck in the mining bust
ness. They We're Woodworking Irlshmen, and
understood the science of digging to perfection.
They leased one or two lots in this vicinity and
are now reputed to be worth $4,000.

FAULTS TO BE REMEDIED.-The editor of the
N. Y. Tribune, writing from Washington, has the
following sensible remarks:
'tThere must be radical reform in Congress, as
the best members concur i'll the opinion that re-
duction in the pay is Indispensable Ihave no hope
without it. Here are gathered great number OF
real men of business-lawyers in good practice
merchants, manufacturers, extensive planters and
thrifty farmers who earnestly desire that the nation
business shall be promptly despatched, so to
allow them to go home and attend to theirs. But
there Is another cass-nolsy If not numerous, and
enabled by the present rules of the House to con-
troll its prOceedlngs-to whom Washington is a
paradise; who live higher, drink freer, of more
consequence, and get more money here, than they
everdd or ever will anywhere else Many who
here pocket $56 per week, and do the nearest to
nothing for it that well be conceived, would
have to look very sharp to pick up $50 per week
elsewhere. Now, just so long as the people Will
tolerate the present exorbtant rates of pay, this kind
of members will spin out sessions and prevent any
thing being done. And the fault is not so much in
their necessities, their cOVetousness, their shift
essness, as in the Sinking incidence and careless
of the people, who will not enforce the remedy
''The Mileage is still less excusable abomination.
Texas sends hither two Senators and two Represent
atves who receive, in addition to their pay, some
So, 800 each every session for merely coming here
and going away again-$l0,0OO for travelling
expenses, which not actually $1,000. Ar
kansas will take $4,000 out of the Treasury this
year merely for the travel of her Senators. When
we come to have Senators and Representatives
from Oregon and California, we shall have to nego
tate loan expressly to pay the mileage of their
members.
Nobody pretends to justify this, and yet it defes
every effort to reform it. A member starts up from
Bangor, Maine, and comes here in some two days
and a half, paying some S25 and pocketing $3.50
clear profit. Coming from Galena, or Chicago or
Natchez, Or Little Rock. he will clear from S75 to
$50 per day. lounging on steamboat and living
like prince or he takes the cars at Auburn in the
morning, has a capital nights sleep on the North
River, and next morning awakes in Newly rk, hav-
ing in one day cleared over S120 Does anybody
imagine that those who make money like this will
carefully watch the Treasury against the inroads OF
others

TI4 Coop CAUSE GAINING YET, IN IRELAND. .
In the absence of fair means of information, We
are fin to quote the following from theoast number
of the European Times, received by the Britannia.
Even on such one-sided authority, however, we
have for joy in the encouraging prospect for
Irish unanmity in demanding the national rights;
The deporable state of Ireland, appar ntly on the
verge of civil war, continues to occupy the deep
est attention of all classes.
The Repeal rent has fallen to f25 and it is evident
that large majority of the Irish people in favor
OF outrageous measures. In the meantime, the peO-
pie In every part Of the country continue to supply
themselves with arms some arrests have indeed
taken place in Dublin, Cork and Limerick to check
THE progress of the armament but these steps of
course wholly inadequate to ward Oft the danger.
We expect, almost by every post, intelligence of
some disastrous event arising out OF the excited
state of the country.
Great and influential bodies continue to pour in
addresses to the Lord Lieutenant, expressive of
their determination to support the Government
but the train of discomfort seems now to be laid
SO extensively, and with such miscellaneous effect,
that we doubt whether the whole weight Of the
Government, with even the support of the O'Con-
nells, will be able to prevent some great explosion.
Another significant feature attends this unhappy
state of things. The run on the Savings Banks
in Cork and in the south of Ireland, goes on with
accelerated speed. The depositors desiring their
funds aNe1aid in Bank of Ireland notes, which
are spa converted into gold Mr.. Mitchell's
anguai "a the United freshman, increases in vio-
ence daily. The Nation also vies with the younger
journal in disseminating reasonable doctrines. A
late number contains letter from parish priest,
setting forth the doctrine of Catholic resistance.
1t inculcates the duty farming quietly, and goes
on to say to the people, 3" Make your peace with
God put your houses in order, and prepare to die"
1t then teaches them to bide their time and then,
when it comes, every man must vow Sc before God
and his country, to lessen, he can, by one man at
least, the enemies of his native land and then to
die" Such language as this, coupled as it is with
minute instructions from the United Irishman how
to drill carry, and use the pike and the rifle, can
only be productive Of some mighty catastrophe.
The feeling as to the efficacy of Repeal in stay
ing the mischief, appears in some quarters to gain
ground but there is not the smallest appearance Of
such idea being entertained by the Government.
Amongst the converts to Repeal however, is said to
be no less parsonage than the Earl of Shrewsbury,
who no doubt trembles for his estates. The state
prosecutions against Messrs. Mitchell, O'Bren and
Meagher, commenced on the first day of term, and
true bills have been found against them. Public
excitement seems to extend even to private men,
who have taken a conspicuous part in the great
scene of our times

DARING ROBBERY AT CINCINNATI.-Y esterday
morning, about hafpas o'clock, says the Cincin-
matt Chronicle of the 10th, genteel looking man
walked into Mr. II. Wesjohann's foreign and domes-
tic liquor store on the east side of Broadway, two
doors below Congress street, and introduced himself
to Mr. Wesjohann about opening new coffee
house, and wishing to purchase fine stock of lie
ouors had called on him to make selections. He
stated that he should like to purchase lot OF East
India btters, when Mr. w. invited him up stairs to
look at his article. After trying several kinds Of
liquor he concluded to call again and make pur-
chase, and left the store. Shortly after, the clerk
of the establishment who had been out on col
Letting tour returned to the stOre and after entering
the counting ROOM discovered that the iron safe was
unlocked and as he carried one of the keys of the
same, inquired of Mr. Wesjohann if he had opened
it, to which he replied in the negative, and opening
the safe discovered that check book on Ellis d
Morton, containing $500 in paper money, had been
stolen. On examination it was ascertained that the
lock of the desk drawer, where the other safe Key
kept, had been forced, and the key taken; ana,
it is thought, that while Mr.. Wesjohann was exhib-
itng his liquor to the pretended coffee house keeper
in the upper story of the house, an accomplce
entered the counting room, and after procuring 'e
key of the sae took the book containing the money!
