From the Pacific Ne,es of June l7M.

STEAMBOAT Acknowledging the down
trip Of the Gold Hunter on Tuesday night, she
unfortunately came in contact with the McKim
coming up, striking her hull about the brechains
and injuring her to such an extent that she fin
ally sunk in ten feet water. The accident hap
pened in San Pablo Bay.
tits thought the McKim can be raised without
much difficulty, and unless the injury is greater
than is anticipated she will be ready to make her
usual trips without much delay.
Rich Discovery OF VEIN GoLD-Several gen.
tlemen, engaged in mining upon one ofthe north
ern rivers in their explorations in the adjacent
mountains during the past winter, came upon a
vein of quartz, where the pure ore was observed
in threads and spanges, beautiful to look upon.
The vein is about thirty feet wide, and in some
portions so rich as to produce dollar to an
ounce of rock A piece was knocked off weigh
ing IA lbs, and submitted to the action of heat
in a blacksmith forge, when the amount of thir-
ty-two dollars was smelted from the rock! Not
half Of what it contained could be got out in
such way. Other specimens have yielded from
dollar to two dollars to a pound of the rock,
and the quantity of it is represented as literally
inexhaustibe. 1888

the flattering prospects ahead, when the rivers
fall. In every spot where there are the smallest
prospects Of succeeding in the attempt compa-
MES have been formed to turn the rivers. He
speaks from personal knowledge as to the Stan
isaus and TuoIumne. On the latter stream, for
distance of fifteen miles, one can hardly go a.
mile without coming upon one of these compa-
MES. Individual shares in associations of twenty
to seventy persons, are selling at from five hun
dred to two thousand dollars. All hands are
busiy at work in digging their canals and getting
ready their darnming materials, so as to be pre-
pared, the moment the waters fall sufficiently, to
throw the dam across, and walk into the hidden
| treasures. fa fsg.ls Es
The wisdom of this course is very apparent
just now. The small gulches are too dry to
work well; the large ones contain too much
water, rs also the rivers.
Numbers of parties are locating upon the
MERGED. This river has been less worked than
any of the principal southern streams. 1t is not
doubted that better success will be had on this
stream this season than last.
| At Mockeson and Rattlesnake creeks, between
the MERGED and Tuoumne and not far from
Savage's old diggings, miners are, and have bseh
doing well since their discovery, some time ir
the winter; no one who works making less thar

ITThe cholera has appeared in Washington,
Daviess county, Ia, with almost as much vio-

had been six deaths. With the exception of two
or three families the town was deserted.
Four cases of cholera have occurred in Boone

have also occurred on the line of the canal be-

The Democratic Review.

We have not seen the last number of this
Review, but find the following comment upon
an article it contains, in the Augusta Conslilu-
tionalist, one of the leading Democratic prints in
Georgia. 81
The article commented upon was one copied
from the Boston Law Journal A short time
since we gave the Wing ReUie'0 the benefit Of
the critiques of Southern Wing Press and feel
bound in all fairness to extend the same courtesy
to the Democratic.
The conductors of these selfstyled National
organs published at the North and under Northern
control, should learn the policy, if not the pro-
priety Of abstaining from assaults upon the vital
interests of large portion Of their supporters
If they do not, it will be taught both by the
withdrawal of that support. Men are not silly
enough long to be taxed for keeping up an engine
which is directed towards battering down their
own habtations. The Constitutionalist says
ave would advise the conductors of the Demo
cratic Reriep to put no more such paragraphs
as this last one in their pages, unless with very
distinct disclaimer of its sentiments Should
such thing again be done, and done deliberate
", every Southern man of spirit, who has any
respect for Southern rights and State rights,
will reject the Reuiep with scorn.
It has no patrons at the South to whom such
language and such sentiments are not grossly
offensive and exasperating

any institution of the kind in the United States

justice to his subject, himself, and his old Alma
Mater. Most of the students come from the
Southern States, and quite a number from Mex

honors. The hall was tastefully decorated with
banners, wreathes, boquets, and charming ladies.

We are for Disunion: every body knows that.
We look upon it an inevitable necessity, post
poneable perhaps, but necessary, particularly ne
cessary to North Carolina. The duties collected
from the foreign trade of this port alone would
support the government Of the State. In case of
dissolution the coastwse trade would also be sub
ject to revenue. We do not believe that in the
history Of the world case can be found to paral-
lei the condition of North Carolina in this Union.
She has been modest; she has been mute This
reserved energy has been mistaken. Let the trial
come, and those States which have talked more
and felt less will find North Carolina where she

The Spirit Of Jefferson, (Charlestown, Assays;
''Judge Sharkey has weighed the merits of the
compromise measure and has detected in their pro-
visions the dangers threatened to the South
Others have done the same, with the like result;
and the consequence is, that public sentiment in
nimity in opposition to the Senate compromise.
The South is evidently becoming more and more
alive to the dangers with which her rights and
interests are threatened. 1t is well for the South
that Mr.. Cay's efforts to push the bill through
the Senate with such hot haste, were not success
full; the delay has given time for reflection and
examination, and men are enabled to take their
stand with deliberation, and a purpose Of main
tanning it. 1t is thus with Judge Sharkey. He
now proclaims his determination to carry out the
views of the convention. When such men as he
take position deliberately, and avow the purpose
of adhering to it, it must and should have more
than ordinary force in directing the current Of
public opinion.

1t is certain now, that regular plan of dis
union was organized, by Mr.. Calhoun, a full
year ago; and that he expected it to be by this
time in action. tits true that, for fear of start
ling the timid, he gave his purpose a hypotheti-
cal and conditional shape; but let any man, if
he can, read his last regular speech in the Sen
ate, and deny that it breathes throughout the
most positive, old-blooded, and atrocious dis
unionism. His followers are so far from having
abandoned his plans or disavowed his doctrines,
that they openly claim in the Senate a sort of
canonization for all his opinions But what,
beg leave solemnly to ask the people, can be the
loyalty of those Southern men, who not only
are bent on defeating sthe Compromise" but
half-avow that they prefer to it secession p

As for the statement that Mr.. CALHOUN aimed
or attempted to destroy the Union, we know
that is no such thing. He wanted the Nashville
Convention to meet, to unite the South in the
assertion Of her rights, as he thought the North
would then acknowledge them. But what is
the love of Union with men who risk it ona scheme
to deprive the South of all share of the new ter
ritory?
