col. FREMONT's GOLD NINE.

A letter, dated Monterey, October lst, pub.
ished in the New York Tribune, gives the
following account of Colonel FREMoNr's gold
mine:
BY far the most magnificent discovery is thai
recently made upon the rancho of Col. Fremont
ON the Mariposas river. 1t is nothing less than a
vein OF gold in the solid rock-a bona fde
mine, the first which has been found in Cal,
iiornia Whether /, was first detected BY a par.
" Of Sonomans or by The company which has
since been working in the same locality, is a
disputed point, though believe the credit is due
to the latter At any rate, the gold is there, and
in extraordinary abundance.
| saw some specimens which were in Colonel
Fremons possession. The stone is reddish
qnarz, filled with rich veins Of gold, and far sur.
passing the specimens brought from North Caro-.
lima and Georgia. Some stones picked up on the
top oCthe quartz strata, without particular selection
yielded two ounces of gold to every twenty five
pounds, Colonel Fremont informed me that the
vein had been traced for more than mile The
thickness on the surface is two feet, gradually
widening as it descends and showing larger par.
ticles Of gold. The dip downward is only about
200, so that the mine can be worked with little
expense. These are the particulars first given
me, when the discovery was announced
Still more astonishing facts have Just come to
light.
A geologist sent out to examine the place, ar.
rived here last night. He reports having traced
the vein distance Of two leagues, with an aver,
age breadth OF $50 feet. At one extremity OF the
mine be found large quantities of native silver,
which he calculates will fully pay the expense Of
setting up machinery and working it, The rancho
upon which il is situated was purchased by Col.
Fremont in 1916 from Alvarado, former Cover.
nor ofthe territory. TWAS then considered near.
y worthless, and Col. F. only took it at the mo.
menI Of leaving the country, because disappont.
ed in obtaining another property. This discov-
cry has made a great sensation throughout the
country; YET il is but the first of MANY such. The
Sierra Nevada i. pierced in every part with these
priceless veins, which will produce gold for cen
'ures alter every spot Of earth from base to

WING TEsTIMoNY.-Tbe Washington cores
,ondent Of the New Orleans Bulletin speaking
# General Taylor, makes the following admis'
sions:
ellis Cabinet Ministers and their appoint
nents have been, own loudly complained Of,
and in some instances, no doubt, Justly. NePo-
iisa and Clqueism have occasionally crept in
where they ought not to have obtained admit
tance."
Mark, this is phig testimony. During the late
canvass we charged that Gen. Taylo had thrown
the whole responsibility Of government on his cab
met, adopting the British maxim, that "the King
can do no wrong" that clique of politicians
ruled the cabinet and that some of these cabinet
ministers had quartered not only nephews, but
whole families of their kindred on the treasury.
These charges were Indignantly denied, but here,
in the paragraph quoted above, we find them con
coded by rhig pifneSs. The same writer speak.
ing oi'the gentleman lately appointed to represent
our government in Sweden, says she plays the
guitar admiraby;bu he is totally ANTI.AMERIcAN
IN his teeiiags and sent ents" Now, had this
charge appeared in any other quarter, it woulc
have been denounced as slanderous But here
we have it from the correspondent of a wing pa
per--the first that nominated General Taylor
and the letter containing this startling charge, il
specially commended to the public, as emanatint
from ian able and and intelligent source"

WAsMINGTON's FAREWELL AD-
DRESS.

The Executors ofthe late David C.. Claypole,
who died recently in this city in his o3rd year,
advertise that they will dispose, OF public sale,o
the | 9th Of February next,the original manuscripts;
Of Washington's Valedlctory Address to the peo>
pie Of the United States. This interesting and
valuable document Is in the handwriting, and bears
the signature Of Washington, with every evidence
that il was the unaided production Of that illus
trious man.
AT the close ofGen. Washington's admnstra.
ton, Mr. Claypole was the proprietor ofihe "Dai.
ly Advertiser" and, IL we mistake not printer TO
Congress. Mr.. Claypole received the address
from the General for publication in bis gazette,
the first paper In which II appeared en- the 10Th
ofSeptember, 1900. After this Mr.. Claypoie
called on the President with the manuscrip,to re.
turn iibul al the same time told him, in the most
respectful manner, that he should consider il as
inestimsble favor II he would allow him to keep
IT, The President answered, u Il would
be any satisfaction to him, he was welcome
to Il. Mr.. Claypole therefore retained il.
This manuscript occupies some thirty pages Of
letter sheet, written in 1886 lines, aud is done up
in The torn Of small quarto. It's in an excel
lent state representation, and bears the most un.
inistakable marks Of genuineness to any one ia.
miIiar with the handwriting Of Washington
Several large sums were otleredto Mr.. Claypolt
for il, bot he esteemed II too highly to part viii
ilupon any consideration. We are informed thu
an effort will be made to purchase II Tor the Ma
tlonal Institute at Washington; il Is desirable St
important national relic should fall into tn,
hands either oflhe general government or SOM
public institution, by whom |, should be sui,abl
cherished.
