THE WICHITA GOLD REGIoN.-The ex-
citement increases in the western part Of
Arkansas, in regard to the alleged exis-
tence Of gold among the Wichita noun.
tains. Continual statements are published
to coTroborate the original reports. The
latest we have seen is in a letter from
Doaksville, in the Cherokee nation, which
says that some one recently brought down
bulbous root, picked up in valley among
these mountains. In order to keep it fresh,
he retained a quantity Of earth around it
and placed it in sack. When taken from
the sack and the earth washed, it was
found 10 be full Of particles of pure gold
This may or may not be true, but is so
much like an old story of an English nat,
uralist, who took plants from California
and found gold among their roots, that
certainly il is not original. At all events,
there is an excitement in Arkansas, and
great fears are expressed lest the gold re-
gion may be in the territory Of the Cher.
okce nation, guaranteed TO them by our
government. In this case the Indians will
claim all the profits.

Is there respectable man in Bedford

~ attack IN the last Federal Gazette upon
Gen. TAYLOR? :? We do not believe there
IS one. If there is one let US have hs

pressions found in an article occupying
about half column in that little by O.
Gen. Taylor came into the PtesiIea'

lie has an 'unclean conscience
He is 'one of the most ignorant AM
reckless men ever elected to responsbi
trust
He is mere man of straw
Taylor is a fraud upon the country
He is despised for his lreachery.'
He should be made 10 occupy the cell
of a prison instead OF the Presidential man'
sion.'
'lle has digraced himself

such is the fact. Why this chPnge -

TROUBLES IN ELoRIDA.-It Is stated by the
National Iuteliigencer that orders have been
sent from the War Department to Brevet Ma
jor General Twiggs-who is now at Pasca-
goua, ssissippi-directlng him TO proceed
to Florida, TO take command of the military
detachments which have been ordered there.
Two companies of the 18th Artillery, recently
stationed at Pascagoula. have been ordered to
Tampa Bay, and the 9Th Infantry, recently at
Jefferson Barracks, TO ST. Augustine. Be-
sides these, one company Of the ID artillery,
stationed at Savannah, and one at Charleston,
moved short time ago TO St. Augustine. and
the latter company has already made report OF
its arrival 10 the Department. a company OF
% artillery, from the Augusta arsenal, is to be
stationed at Platka.
These movements have reference, no doubt,
TO the recent disturbances made by the In
dians, and they look as if the Government is
about TO act very vigorously in the matter
We trust they will prove effectual in restor.
ing tranquility, by keeping the Indians entire
ly in check.

tore of part of the tail. She then grasped it

LUMBER TRADE.-Anv one who has
visited Port Deposit, (Md.) al the head Of
Chesapeake Bay, during the continuance
of the spring freshets, must have been ama-
zed At the immense Iat!s which lie collect
ed there, after long and tedious voyage
from the sources of the Susquehanua.-
The men who plloted them are of themselves
a curiosity, for rarely are TO be seen Draw
nier or harder specimens of humanity, and
1t is no un(requent case with them TO re-
trace on foot The long distance they have
come.
The EIkton (Md.) Democrat states that
the annual value Of the sawn lumber brought
TO Port Deposit, is $4,000, 900; while the
shingles and timber logs, foated down the
Susquehanna, make the aggregate value
about $500 600 900. On the arrival of
the RATS at Port Deposit, they are broken
up, and Philadelphia and Baltimore receive
the greatest portion.
There is we think some slight mistake
in the above calculation of the Eikton Dem
ocrat. Allowing each raft 10 be worth
81 600, which is probably more than they
average. it would take ttco hundred thou
sand RATS 10 make up the amount given
"a greater number than has been floated
down the Susquchanna in fifty years.
Had the writer put down the sawn lum
ber at $4,000 and The aggregate at ST.
100000, he would no doubt have been
nearer, but still above, the mark.-Ed. Ga

DEATH OF GEN. JoHN MITCHELL. The Bea-
uer Argus of last week brings US the intelli-
gence of the death of Gen. Mitchell. He was
native of Cumberland county, but very early
removed to Centre county. He was twice
elected to the office OF Sheriff OF tha, county
Subsequently, he was elected TO Congress and
served his fellow citizens throughout two sue
cessive terms in that Office General Mitchell
was employed as Surveyor and Civil Engineer,
in the location of many Of the Turnpikes in
the Northern and Middle portions of the State
He was the first Engineer on the Erie Exten-
sion Canal, and supeFintended the construction
of the French Creek Feeder. FIe also repeat.
edly represented his fellow citizens in the
State Legislature. Early in the administra-
ton of Governor Wolf, he was appointed Canal
Commissioner, and served faithfully in that
capacity until the coming in Of the Ritner Ad-
minstraiion.
After his removal from the Office Of Canal
Commissioner, he engaged in the Iron bust
ness, and invested in it all the means he could
command. This enterprise proved disastrous,
and 1T the age Of G3, General Mitchell found
himself bereft of the earnings of a life of labor
aud privation. In the autumn of 1912, he re-
moved with his family to the county of Beaver,
and was appointed Supervisor Of the Erie Ex-
tension Canal. In this Office he was continued
until that portion of the State Works passed
out of the hands Of the Commonwealth. when
the Company to whom the works were trans
ierred, re-apponted him 10 the same Office !;
and in the faithful performance Of the duties
Of which he was found BY the grim messenger
Of death.
