There is evidently a concerted attempt in seve-
raj parts of the Union to hoax the newspaper press
with false news from California. We have seen
several of these attempts, but the first nibbe has
been made by our contemporary at Washington,

but is green enough to swallow it. His Is

The American Gold Mines-Ualifornia on
the PaciRc-virginia on the Atlantic.
The most recent accounts from California, by
the way of Mexico and New Orleans, confirm in
the strongest manner, all the previous descriptions
of the unbounded wealth and romantic produc.
tons Of the gold mines of California. The United
States ship Lexington is now on her way around
Cape Horn, with nearly quarter of a million of
gold DUST and it is probable that several millions
more are en- route, IN various ways, to this and
other Atlantic ports. In spite Of the lateness Of
the season, there are four thousand diggers en-
gagged IN the mineral region. New mines or pla-
cere, are discovered In various directions. Up to
this time probably from to ten thousand people,
three fourths of whom are from the United States,
and the rest from Europe and the various ports on
the Pacific, ,are on their way to San Francisco.
Goods of all descriptions, from every commercial
nation, on both sides OF the Atlantic, are being
shipped to the Pscl for that region. Probably
this spring will oIen with twenty thousand gold
dipgers in California and calculating at a reason
able rate the products OF their labor, there will
be coIlecte IN gold dust, during the ensuing year,
frcm fifty to ons hundred millions worth
Such are the position and prospects of CaIifor.
MIA, confirmed and strengthened by every fresh
account from that extraordinary place The ex.
citement about emigratIng will, therefore, in
crease, not only in this country, bat in Europe,
and throughout South America and the re-
mote coasts Of China and Hlndos,an. The
South American republics are pouring the

tunate enough to collect few ounces Of gold
yearly. AS to any further exertion on his part, 1t
Is out Of the question. Virginia must be settled
by people of more energy before her greatest source
OF wealth will ever be fairly developed.
In Spottsylvanla county there are thousands Of
acres Of land, some part of 1t rich in minerals,
that can be bought for a mere song This land 10
near the best of markets, and Is as susceptible of
Improvement as any land in the world yet there It
is, worn out, neglected, and producing nothing.
This very v hlte Hall mine was once owned in
New York, by a company composed of Messrs
Wilmot, Mofet, Curtis, Wilder, Carvill and
Richards; and no doubt many citizens now living
here regret the day they ever heard of 1t. Why
80? They got up stock speculation, based en-
tirely upon the gold they found on the surface,
to the amount Of several millions of dollars, and
the result was, that when the surface gold began
to be exhausted, the stock became worthless, and
many persons having invested every dollar they
were worth IN it, were completely ruined. The
property was then sold for $5, 900, and from thar
time up to the time of its late purchase, it has
been worked as farm, and as a surface gold
mine. The property has yielded, by surface min
ing about $50 00O and as no efforts had ever been
made to develope the veins running through 1t,
which originally held thus gold, the present own
ers, Messrs. Heiss, Stockton and Dexter, were
induced to purchase It, believing the veins could
easily be tound, and that they would prove very
productive. The first shaft sunk developed vein
on each eide OF it, and at the depth of thrty-fve
feet Is found the rich ore now rewarding the
company so handsomely
No doubt there are other properties In Virginia
that, with the same attention, the same industry,
and determination to discountenance this system
OF stock speculation. will prove equally as rich as
White Hall. We have heard of several new en-
terprises In that quarter, and we hope they may
meet with such success as will we'll repay them.
1t s, therefore, apparent that the Pacific s not
the only gold region Of the United States, but that
the Atlantic coast has it's share also. When all
these sources Of wealth shall have been fully de-
veloped, the result must give wonderful stimulus
to commerce, emigration, and the progress Of
civilization, OF which the United States will reap
the principal benefit We may then expect sucha

discoveries OF the mines CT Mexico and Peru

Ny Dear Sir -
The news from the Parliament of Great
Britain, this morning, must | think, in
crease the discOutent of our neighbors on
the other side of the St. Lawrence and the
Lakes not a little and that those discon-
tents will, in a few years, lead to u separa-
ton of the Canadas, New Brunswick, &C.,
&c. from the mother country, seems equal
ly probable.
viii those Provinces form themselves
into an independent nation, or seek a con-
nexion with our Union! think the proba-
biity is greatly in favor of the latter
In my judgement the interests of both sides
would be much promoted by annexation

Union on equal terms with our present
thirty states. The free navigation Of the
St. Lawrence is already of immense impor.

OF course, | am opposed to any under

THE Oh H0.L I R A..

At Alexandria, Huntingdon county, there
have been altogether nine deaths by cholera,
with no new cases for more than week All
these had been employed on Shuman & Fertig's
section There are reports Of some deaths on
McCord's section at Newton Hamilton, but we
cannot trace them to an authentic source. Sew
eral cases have occurred on canal boats, but
at a time when every petty aiIment is tortured
into cholera, it is difficult to say whether one
half we hear is true.
In the east, the disease prevails in most of
the villages near Philadelphia and New York
at Brooklyn, Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, Jer-
sey City, Newark, Wilmington, &c
In New York, the report of the city inspector
for the week ending on Saturday last, shows
99I intermemts during that period, being an in
crease of $50 on the preceding seven days.
The cholera interments were is4, being an in
crease of IG7 on the preceding week, and an
average Of 60 IT deaths daily during the week.
This is the heaviest record Of interments in that
city, exceeding the maximum week Of 1892 by
1914, while the cholera intcrmcnts Of that week
were 232 more than during the past week 1t
must be borne in mind, however, that the pre-
sent population Of the city is about double what
it was in 1882. Among the deaths are the only
son Of Horace Greeley, James Rcyburn, 4. r.
WyckoG, Dr. Brainard, and David B. Ogden,
all eminent citizens.
There were 453 deaths in the city Of phila-
dclphia during the week ending on the l4th in

FEVER AND AGrE.-A friend from Poltsyille,
who has had ample opportunity to observe the
beneficial effects OF the subjoined remedy for
this annoying disease, has forwarded the same
for publication to the DanviIle Democrat.
Receipt foy the Cure cf Ferer and '2Sue
Take oz, o. Of @' ES@SaP6. So1S Pa'A rulverized
mix in pint Of strong Brandy, fourth proof
take a wine glass full morning, noon, and night,
commencing as soon as the fever IS oil If lis
operation IS too powerful, lessen the dose, but
take it regularly. Continue the doses three
times a day, for three days, after which take II
night and morning for three days, and then 4
dose a day, until the pint IS all taken.
This IS the dose for an aduLt-childrcn, Of
course, in proportion.
There is no quackery about the cure.-Physi-
clans here approve Of it, although they do not
prescribe it, and it has cured many eases when
the physicians could only stop it and as soon as
the patients ceased taking their medicine II
would return again. This cure is efectHal. The
only merit is in mixing the ingredients together
taking them separate they would fail. Try
1t on some aud Judge for yourself.
