Items from Ore yon.


Gov. LANE, of Oregon, has resigned his Office as
Governor, and is contemplating trip to the I'M
qua river, IN search Of the gold region.
The annexed items are from the Oregon Spectator:
While our citizens have been quietly preparing
to 60 to Rogue River. to dig for gold this summer,
they have been aroused to unusual excitement by
the discovery of rich mine in another direction
The opinion is gaining strength daily, that one of
the richest mines the shores of the Pacific ha
been discovered in the Spokan country, some four
hundred miles from this city, and up the Columbia
We are assured by Capt. N. Crosby, who saw it.
that the sand which was brought from the Spoken
was. in its bulk. about one quarter gold. We have
always felt confident that there was gold on Powder
and Burnt rivers, and this discovery on the Spokan
will still more fully confirm the fact that the middle
region of Oregon is to become the grand Ell Dorado
Of the day.
One party is on its way to the region of the new
discovery if not already there, and others are
pairing to follow. On the return of messenger,
who is expected here in week Or two, if he con-
firm the report there will be a general rush for
that country. In view Of this fact, a sub. Indian
agent has gone up the Columbia to prepare the In
dams for new state Of things, which will immedi-
ately commence in their country.
The country in which this gold has been found is
one Of the heathiest in the world, and if the mine
shall be found to extend large region of that
country,it will soon be teeming with overlooking
population, attracted thither by the double allure
ments ofgold and health.
We suppose that there will also be q consdera-
bic mining business done this season the rivers
along the southern border of Oregon, as many per-
sons who have been to California have convinced
themselves that Rogue river and other streams in
that vicinity will afford profitable diggirgs.

Seizure of Serenity thousand Doilors
north Of Goods by the .nerican Gorernme,i
By an arrival from Vera Cruz, the n
Y. Sun is in receipt Of advices from tina,
place up TO July Goth
Quite an excitement was produced
among the commercial circles of Vera
Cruz, by the arrival there of hundred
mules loaded with struggled goods, the
products of a government seizure. Itap-
pears that an American wrecking schoon-
er went over to the Mexican shore from
Key West, with a cargo of dry goods,
powder. &C., valued at $4,000. These
were all successfully landed near Tuspan,
and the mules started off towards the in
terror. In the meantime, the schooner
having accomplished her mission with
success, ran down in ballast to Vera Cruz
where her appearance with large crew
OH board, and no cargo, excited suspicion
at the custom house, and officers were i'm
medlately dispatched in different direc-
tons TO intercep, any merchandise train.
The result was, the rich haul above men
toned. Tuspan is about one hundred
miles from Vera Cruz, between that place
and Tampico.

FROM TExAs.-The following we find
telegraphed to the eastern papers

New ORLEANS. August %.
Galveston dates TO the 18th are received.
The Legislature met on the 18th. The
Governors message is received. 1t
speaks of the unwarrantab!e assumption
OF power of the Federal Executive BY di-
rect interference in municipal affairs of
sovereign States, and pronounces discus
sion useless. They must not rely on the
delusive hope of justice to Texas. but as
>ert and maintain her rights at all hazards
and TO the last extremity. The only
| course left is the immediate adoption OF
necessary measures for the occupation of
Santa Fe. with ample force to repel arro-
gance and the rehellious spirit existing.
Should such measures produce con-
ilict with present authorities unlawfullv
established. and shake the conlederacy 10
its centre, Texas would stand exonerated
before the world.
Authority is asked to raise two mount
ed regiments for the occupation of Santa
Fe, also military force sufficient to enable
the civil authorities to execute laws.
1t says, however willing Texas may be
to dispose of her northwestern territory,
no respectable party could accep, the pro-
position embraced in the compromise bill
but if the proposition had been offered to
purchase that part north Of 81 deg, with
proper guaranty and observances of the
rules Of annexation, il would have been
satisfactory.
The news the engrossment of Pearce's
Senate bill and the Presidents message
respecting Gov. Bells letter was receiv-
ed at Galveston on tine 18th, and produced
great dissatisfaction.
The papers say the message will arouse
feelings Of indignation throughout the
State not easily allayed,

The attempt to intimidate the Federal Govern
ment on the part Of a few Hotspurs in Georgia is
too ridiculous to merit serious regard. Especially
when this belligerent state is got up
to oppose legitimate constitutional act by consti-
tutional means. II Congress should admit Califor-
mia with its present cons,itution-as we hope 1t
may-and the Georgia delegation should retire in
consequence from Congress, in obedience to the
,chistiing Of these Hotspurs, lie: them do 1t. Let
them do 1t with no other demonstration of opposi-
ton on the part Of those they leave behind them,
than pity for their presumptuous mockery OF the
oaths they by such an act SO manifestly viola
