Emigration.

Iowa is peopling more rapidly this than
any formre season. The California fe-
yer has had the effect to make persons
discontinued with their homes-to infuse
more largely into Americans that spirit
of locomotion for which we are SO wide
ly known as a people. No other nation
under the sun would in so short time
have so densely populated a distant coun-
try under such unfavorable auspices as
we Americans have settled California;
That uneasy feeling which prompts our
countrymen to change their abodes and
pursuits SO often, to the great scandal of
beef-loving johnny Bull, needed but The
incentive of the ''almighty dollar" to be-
come heightened into fever, contagious
as fatal. Disappointed, many of them,
in reaching the Ell Dorado upon the Pa
cific, and determined to go to some place
where their labor would meet with just
appreciation and an ample remuneration,
they seek the richer country, laved by
the waters of the great Father of Riv-
ers, and known as IoWa--one of the
youngest and most beautiful of I'm
Gle Sans daughters. They are well
come, and SO long as they bring with
them affections chastened by a surrender
Of sordid human nature seeking sudden
wealth, they will find home and that
valued bDOu, cOntentment, upon the ara

The California correspondent of the
New York Tribune, gives the following
account of Col. Fremont's gold mine
But by far the most magnificent dis
covery is that recently made upon the
rancho of Col. Fremont, on the Maripo-
sas river. tbs nothing less than vein
Of gold in the solid rock-a bona fde
mine, the first which has been found in
California. Whether it was first detec-
ted by party of Sonomans, or by the
company which Col. F. organized last
spring, and which has since been work
ing in The same locality, is disputed point,
though believe the credit is due the lat
ter. AT any rate, the gold is there, and
in extraordinary abundance. | saw some
specimens which were in Col. Fremon,'s
possession. The stone is reddish
quartz, filled with rich veins of gold, and
far surprising the specimens brought
from North Carolina end Georgia.
Some stones picked up on the top of the
quartz strata, without particular selec-
ton, yielded two ounces of gold TO every
twenty-five pounds. Col. Fremont in
formed me that the vein had been traced
for more than mile. The thickness on
the surface is two feet. gradually widen
ing as it descends, and showing larger
particles of gold. The dip downward
is only about twenty degrees, 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, arrived here last night. He reports
having traced the vein distanc of two
leagues with an average breadth of $50
feet. AT one extremity oil the mine, he
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. FIRE.

ment OF leaving the country, because dis
appointed in obtaining another property.
This discovery has made great sensa-
ton throughout the country; yet it is bu,
the FIST of many such. The Sierra Ne
vada is pierced in every part, with these
priceless veins, which will produce gold
for centuries after every spot of earth,
from base to summit, shall have been tur-
ned over and washed out.

At the late Fair of the Franklin Insti-
tute in Philadelphia, the first remium of
that institution was awarded to the Gran
iteville Manufacturing Company of South
Carolina, for some very beautiful speci-
mems of dri!Ings, sheetings, aud shirt
ings, manufactured in Graniteville. This
announcement sounds strange. II is the
first time in the history of South Caro-
lima that such fact has occurred. The
men of that State generally have been so
much engrossed with the ut,erancc of
maledictions against the American sys-
TEN, that they have had no time to enter
into manufacturing. Now, however,
since they have proved very satisfactory
y that they can manufacture profitably,
we hope they will curse less and work
more than thew have heretofore DONE
TO reap the substantial advantages of the
American system is far better than to rail
at that system. 1t may be very aristo-
cratic and disdainful and conservative for
a statesman to say, as John Randolph
said, tina, he would go fifty miles out of
his way to kick sheep that he might
thereby display his hatred of wooden
manufactures, but there is much more CON-
mon sense in catching sheep, taking
the fleece off his ba ok, and manufacture
ing il into cloth. No man of sense can
fail to see that the community in which
sheep are kicked must fall below another
community in which sheep are cherish
ed and where their leeces are converted
into broadcloth. We are glad to see that
there are some persons in South Carroll
ma who mean to test the value of spin
ming jennies and spindles, and that they
have already exhibited very decided
superiority IN the use of those hated con-
triyances. While the nullifiers are anu
sing themselves with demonstrations of
the logic of the forty-bale theory. the
Graniteville people will, to the confusion
of the logic-chopping nullifiers, spin up
forty bales of cotton into fabrics of great
strength and excellence.-Lou. Jour.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

GENERAL SUMMARY.
The Hungarian exiles were still at
Widdin, the entire number is stated al
about 100, principally officers.
Benz denies his final conversion to
Islamism.
BY Electric Telegraph from Paris OF
Friday morning, intelligence was recei-
we'd that Mr.. Rives was received on
Thursday by the President Of the Re-
public-the President was most gracious,
but he observed that in consequence of
the difficulties that had arisen between
the two governments, he would have
been deprived of the honor of receiving
him, if instead of being Republican
Minister, he had been Monarchical
Ambassador.
The Presse contradicts the statement
that the French Government had des-
patched courier from Paris to ST. Pc
tersburgh, to explain to the Gear, that
the sailing Of the French and English
fleets towards the Dardanelles was the
result of misunderstanding.
Private letters from Constantinople of
October 26th, announce the arrival of a
British fleet at the mouth of the Darda-
nelles. The instructions of the English
Envoy, of Gath October. expressed the
still greater determination of the En-
glish Government to grant material sup
port to the Sultan in case of emergency,
and to form defensive alliance with the
Pope in the event of Russia's attempt
~ hnc H., L "
yoy's instructions were nearly to the
same effect; but although there was an
evident desire that France and England
should ACT in concert, it was not certain
that defensive alliance would be form
ed with the Sultan. In the event of a
war, it was understood, however, that
France would support Turkey as long
asshe acted with prudence. The Sui
tan and his Ministers were greatly plea
sed with the approval OF their conduct
by the London and Paris press, and
with the support of the two great pow
ers. 1t would be impossible for the EN-
peror to commence hostilities before next
May, and it was hoped that the dispute
in the meantime would be adjusted.
The Emperor of Austria has ordered
levy of $4,000 men in the Lombardo-
Venitian Kingdom.
The Cologne Gazette states that there
are many symptoms which tend to the
supposition that war will be renewed
with Denmark. A report is already in
circulation that an army of the Empire,
under Gen. Penkar, is in readiness to
march.
No communication had been received
> from the Emperor of Russia, relative to
the letter of the Porte.

LONDON, November 16.

instant, state the British fleet was an
chored on Alonkai Bay, and would re-
main there until the arrival of the courier

municatfon of Fuad Effendi. Should
that answer prove unfavorable, the fleet
will proceed at once to Cons tantinople.
Sir Stratford Canning has communi-
Gated TO the Turkish Government that
the English Cabinet had unanimously
agreed to form an offensive alliance with
the Porte in the event of hostile procee-
dings on the part of Russia. Similar
communications have been made by Gen.
Aupick, on behalf of the French Gov.
ernment.
ROME.
From Rome we have little that is in
teresting, it seems, however, that the
Pope meditates an early return to Rome
- his arrival at ono moment was actual
ly announced. The Spanish troops in
the Roman territories have received Or
ders to return to Spain.
FRANCE.
The political news is unimportaut-
the most gratifying feature is the inter-
view between the President and Mr..
Rives at Elysee. The "National'' says:
The American Minister made an address
on the occasion, but observed total silence
on the subject of the Misunderstanding
between France and the United States.
The President, however, alluded to the
affair in terms fattering to the American
Minister and his country.
The dispute between the Emperor. of
Morocco and the French, seems toEin-
crease in violence. The French Consul
at Magador has been treated harshly
and ANONYMOUSLY. A French frigate
has been sent to his relief, and there is
every probability that the affair will end
in the bombardment of Tangier.
HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA.
From Hungary we learn that fresh
collisions have taken place. No fewer
than fifteen additional executions at Arad
were threatened daily.

THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN
THE WORLD Is THE GREAT ARABIAN
REMEDY FOR MAN AND BEAST
VI. G.. FARRELL'S
CELEBRATED
Arabian Liniment.

TlNHE miraculous cures performed by the
Il Arabian physicians in the days OF old,
were then looked upon as the result of magic,
but since we have become intima tie with
their history we can thus account for their
surprising power over disease. Their attain
lnents in the knowlenge of medicine were
the wonder ofthe age, while at the same time
the science of Chemistry, which with them
had its origin, was to the rest of the world
ga sealed book" and in Botany they were tn
most jealous of students. In the beautiful
groves which skirt the deserts of Arabia, a
bound rare plants and odorous woods,
WHENCE are obtained those aromatic gums
and fragrant balsams, of which this incom-
parable liniment is composed, AMI by whose
stimulating, unctuoaa, penetrating and ano
dyne properties it is, when applied, instan-
taneously diiIused through the whole ner-
vous system, allaying the most intense pain
in the incredible short time of 10 or Is min
utes. Its action is prompt powerful and eff
foctual, without the least danger. 1t pene-
trates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contrac-
ted cords, restores use to limbs which have
been palsied for years, causing the shrivelled
flesh togrow oat AMI rich blool to circulate
through It's veins. 1t restores the Synovial
Fluid or Joint water, and this is the reason
why it has been so universally successful in
curing all diseases of the Joints. In chron-
ic affections of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and
Kidneys, this great Arabian remedy stands
unparalleled: for ague cake or Elaryem,nt
of the Spleen, it is aSpecific; and for Rheu-
matism it has performed some of the most
extraordinary cures on record; also for
! cramps, Swellings, Pains, Wounds. Chill.
bl,ins, Burns, White Swellings, Tumors. sc,
1t is equally efficacioas in diseases of ami.
mails, such as Fistula, Poll Evil, Sweeney,
Stiff Complaint, Distemper, Farcy. Sprains'
Bruises, Wounds, Mango, Splvins. Wind.
gals, Splint; and for nearly all diseases. ei.
thsr in man or beast, which require an exter-
nal application, this liniment stands at Tn,
head of all medicines.
