tbs extraordinary news it contains will be

agant Ut the accounts Wa have recently had

A Com SroRY.-rhe best story we have
read about gold hunting is the following;
A runaway soldier, ii is said, discovered a
a lump, or rock Of gold, that weighed $50
pounds and II i-s ounces he was afraid
TO leave it aud mounted guari upon ii add
at the last accounts he had sat there o. DAYS
aud had offered $4,000 for plate of pork
and beans, but his offer had always been
indignantly refused, and the poor fellow
only laughed at for the niggardliness Of his
offer, by parties going farther on, where the
article Was said TO bc more abundant.

WAsHINGroN, Jan. II, 40.


The LATE SOUTHERN CAUCUs.-Several
Several important facts have been confirmed
by the Southern caucus of Monday night.
4 he first is, that while MIR. Calhoun carries
with him the more fiery Democrats of the
South, the Wings are against him in a body,
in his ultra schemes of resistance TO the
Wilmot Proyiso. The second is, that the
Democrats themselves are cooling down.
The third and most important Of all is that
the Union cannot be shaken by the Hotspurs
OF the South, any more than it can be sun
dered by the fanatics of the North. The
moderadOs are the body of the people, \ 9rth
and South, and they vii win the day trium-
phantly-proviso or no proviso; Cuba or no
Cuba. The Union stands so immeasurably
strong, that the recent caucuses, except as
the means for organizing a new political
party in the South, appear to be absolutely
iarcical and ridiculous. \ ct there were things
said aud threatened in those caucuses which
might chill the blood of an old soldiers

impotent as the curses of false prophet

California adventures should beware of
spurious gold. The Hartford Times states
that large quantities of spelter solder has
been sent to the Gold Regions on specula-
ton. Ii is dropped in water when hot, by
which means small scales are formed, re-
selnbing the gold dust or scales OF Feather
river. II is one OF the vilest cheats Of the
day. We ara informed, Continues the
i iines,) that six barrels Of this stuff was
sent out in one ship from New York-and
also that some has been sent out from Hart
ford. The game is to sell this base metal
TO the gold hunters as they arrive IN Cali
fornia.

part of New Mexico, and then run West -
the Pacific Ocean, so as to include the lou.
err half of our California clear through 70
the Pacific Ocean! You may laugh or Starr
but this was the proposition. 1t wouI
transmogrify Texas into the shape of car.
penter's square, the longer end being added
by this bill. The House didn't come yerv
near suspending the rules to let in such
observed no vote from the Free States for il
but that of Mr.. Ficklin, of Ill.,, while seys.
raj from the Slave States either voted no or
sat silent. The Siamese to this was a hin
organizing California, so as to include ONLY
the territory above SO deg. so min, leaving
all below to Texas as aforesaid But Mr.
billiard concluded, after the vote on his
main proposition, not to press this just at
present.
Maj. Gaines, of KY, rose and asked
suspension of the rules TO enable him IN
present memorial from the Mayor and
Council of Washington, asking Congress to
abolish the Slave Trade in this District. or
empower the constituted authorities of this
city to do it. This created much agitation !.
a motion to adjourn was warmly pressed but
defeated and then the suspension of the
rules was also defeated, having majority.
but not two thirds. Maj. Gaines then with.
drew his memorial in order to present it nm
der the rule, and the House adjourned.
