Gold Digging.

LETTER FROM OREGON CFrY.-The
Kulida Venture publishes letter from Or.
vile Risley, Esq, formerly of Putnam
county. 1t is all about the gold mines, con-
firming the story Of their richness, and
coming from the source it does, it may be
set down as authoritative. Mr.. Risley and
Mr.. Creighton, another emigrant from
Putnam CO had visited the mines, and af.
ter working six weeks, had returned to o,
regon City with $1,000 each, as the pro-
ducts of their labor. A pretty fair return
that.
Judge Skinner (Alonzo) went to the
mines last fall, and had not returned when

WORTHY OF IMITATION. q meeting
held h the city Of Detroit to make provis-
ion against the cholera, MIR. Lefever, the
Catholic Bishop Of Detroit, offered for the
free use OF the city authorities, the spacious
hospital of the Sisters Of Charity in Detroit,
and stated that he was authorised to say
that the Sisters Of Charity were ready TO
nurse all patients who might be brought to
the establishment.
Should the epidemic visit the city, and
the Hospital be found not large enough to
hold the patients: the four spacious catholic
churches IN that city, were also rendered
to the authorities for The reception of the
sick.
Such conduct shows christian spirit,
and is worthy Of imitation.

Singular Afair.-A few weeks since,
father and son living in Ross county, by
the name of Christy, both of whom we've
addicted to intempsrance, quarrelled, and
the son beat the father. The father then.
ordered the son to leave his premises threat
ening, if he returned, to kill him. The son
did return, and the father. true to his word
for once, shot him dead in his tracks. The
citizens being afraid to arrest him after the
commission OF the horrid deed, he left, and
went into Clinton county, where be run at
large for two or three weeks, until his
daughter, who had witnessed the tragedy.
learning his whereabouts, followed him into
Clinton, went before magistrate, made
oath to the facts, and had her father arrest
ed. At last accounts, he was lying in the
Clinton Jail, awaiting the arrival Ct the
Sheriff from Ross. This case is certainly
without parallel = a father beaten by his
son, son shot by his father, and the father
arrested upon the affidavit of his daughter.

Another Scottish RemOnStrance.

We, the undersigned, inhabitants Of the
Ythan district of Buchan, Aberdeenshire, and
members Of the Anti-Slavery Society. do res
pectfully but earnestly demonstrate with the
American Churches about the countenance
which they give 10 American Slavery. Our
common humanity cries out agains, the sin
OF deprlvlng men Of their natural rights, and
Of making them the property of other men, 10
be used and sold at pleasure I; and our com.
mon Christianity is still more urgent In it's
condemnation of such an enormity. We then
regret, exceedingly, that in your religious So
%cieties, which profess to care for the best in
terests OF humanity, and TO spread the prin-
ciples OF Christianity, there should be any
federation afforded TO a system which ouira-
| ges both Of them.
III Slavery were exclusively q political
question, your churches would be justified in
any neutrality Of conduct which they might
observe towards il; but as ii is plainly a
question with which are bound up all the
concerns Of personal freedom and social mo-
rality, we cannot but grieve that your church.
es should have taken up, and in spite of in
Vulnerable circumstances from their Christian
brethren all over this country, should have
maintained a position, which is more favora.
BILE to the oppressors than to the oppressed.
Be your intentions and sympathies whar
they may, you practically give full indul.
gence to The Shareholders and so far as we
can see, you consecrate, in the name Of the
Divine Redeemer and Lord of all men, the
tyrannical and cruel relations in which they
stand TO the injured slaves. You virtually
sanction the heavy yoke which no man, much
less a Christian man, is warranted to bind
upon another.
If Slavery be so closely incorporated with
your civil institutions as 10 be difficult of ex.
t~inction, we cannot imagine how it eve
should have introduced itself so much into
your religious organizations, as that it may
not now be repudiated by these. We be
seech you 10 separate, forthwith, American
Christianity from American Slavery. Tit
alliance has fostered the latter, but weakened
the former, a result which we are sure you d.
not contemplate with satisfaction, or with any
other feelings save those of self-reproach.
Praying l~ervently to God for the prospect
ty of your churches, we have thus also, from
a conviction Of duty, demonstrated with yol
concerning an evil which, so long as it exists
will mar, in a thousand ways, all spiritua
prosperity. We address you as brethren, ant
hope soon to have the delight of wi,nessin,
you acting as the brethren Of those who ar
now degraded slaves.
