Notes the MInes.-BY J. H. COLLIER.
Oh, the beauties of the &c diggins, -
Neither few, nor rare, nor small;
In the world are many "riggins
But gold humbug s. worst of all
From the time of your departure
Constant tolls and troubles ram
Till you find youve caught Tartar,
And return home-if you can.
Speak not now of small boats cramm'd with
Men and deas too thick to move,
Nor of ggish rivers id with
Fierce mosquitoes in a drove,
Set aside the mules, and iaunting
Weary days through sand and sun,
Water, food, and shelter wanting
Then, the troubles just begun.
Reached at last the golden mine is
Pitched the tent upon the sticks,
And such things not Sc fms
Ranged in something like fix. 49,
Over all care and sorrow,
Miners dream of yellow beds,
Finding sspockets 50 on the morrow
Lumps as big as barrel heads.
Early up the steep "gulch travel
Choose spot, and make the start
First come beds of sand and gravel,
Hard as frog-rid PharaOh's heart;
Then big stones, quite rough and weighty,
Needing lifting very strong
Or a rock so rough and slaty,
Just right where it don't belong.
Crowbar going like knocker-
Pick and spade in hurry wild
Shaking " fits - out of the rocker
Sleepy pa with crying child,
Standing in the mud and water,
Thinking, if the hole don't pay,
I" faint because it hadn't oughter,"
Till tits near the close of day.
Then, when tired to death the branch is
Scraping up the sand that's loose,
Squattng down upon ones launches
Der the puddle like goose
In this way you roll and 'splosh - it
Tedious as it is uncouth-
And all carefully you wash it,
Till your back aches like tooth.
Tentward, disconnected, ploddng,
With five dollars or a dime
Eat your pork and biscuit, nodding
Like tree-top all the time;
Getting sticks and stones to lay right
Sleep in dirty blankets rolled
And two hours before tits daylight
Wake up shivering with the cold
In the morn something has happened
Never sure to find all right
Hatchet missing, your japanned
Teapot slept out over night
Or grisly bear has walked off
With the meat hung near your tent
In the hole that you have chalked off
Water springs have found vent.
Let them tell their golden stories,
And believe them-I don't care,
None can know just where the ore is,
Save they chance to find it there.
Fortunes have been made know it,
By some lucky ones before;
And let him who wishes 'sgo it y
l don't want to any

LITTLE Rock, Dec. 4, looV.
The Legislature has as yet passed ou'
few laws of much importance 10 'ne
State, and ,t..re is every indication OF
long session. There are at this time two
measures before the Senate winch ei'c'
considerable debate.--one exempnns
homestead worth $500 from execution TOR
debts hereafter co.tracted-the other, a
bill to repeal the In,ernal improvement
distribution act of last session Ihe nrst
may pass by very close vote-'he seco''
introduced early in the session and pro-
posing a magnificent scheme OF lnter""'
Improvement. was deemed impracticah:e
by large majority of Senators aud was
finally referred to the Committee on In
ternal improvements. A Billwasreport-
ed to-day. to repeal the present faw, ana
direct a purchase of State bonds when
ever an opportunity offered to 40 so al a
low rate. This proposition created an
animated debate, which was suspended
bv motion TO adjourn. The debate will
I've renewed OH Friday next: l must con-
fess. have bnt faint hopes that any
liberal policy wil: be adopted on that
subject.
There seems to be a disposition. at
least with a portion Of the members, to
make close scrutiny into the acts and
doings of State officers and agents. es-
pecially Bank agents, as it is understood
that considerable sums still remain un-
accounted for, even in the hands of some
members. 1t is desirable that those mat.
tiers be thoroughly sif,ed. BY what right,
under the Constitution. persons can ac-
cept Offices created by the Legislature,
and then sit as members TO legislate on
their own acts l cannot understand. 1t
is said this will be subject Of inquiry,
and really think it is incumbent, es-
pecially upon the Democratic. members
of the House TO purge themselves of all
suspicion OF attempting to conceal and
cover up delinquencies in any OF their
officers.
Some seem to think the Legislature
will adjourn finally by Christmas. but my
opinion is, the middle of January will
find it still in session.
Yours.

ARREST OF CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE Err

ARREST OF CALIFORNIA ADvENTUR Err
Counterfeit M0ney.-The large amount

following account of the arrest in that

package containing $1,000 in $50 bills
on the bank of the State of Missouri, and.
having his suspicious excited, they took
the bills TO broker in Wall street, who
had an agency in ST. Louis. aud submit
ted them 10 his inspection, when he pro-
nounced them genuine, and purchased
them from Messrs. Beebe, Ludlow & Co.
and sent them to St, Louis, where they
were pronounced counterfeits aud return
ed to this city. On Friday of last week
another package, containing bills of a
similar description, was received by
Messrs. Beebe, Ludlow & Co.. from the
same firm, amounting to 1850. having
the name of Ford endorsed on the face
of the bills.
Upon making inquiry they ascertained
that man named Ford had returned
from California by the same steamer, and
the facts having been communicated TO
the chief of police, he caused Ford to

his person seventeen $50 bills of the same
bank were found upon him. He ac-
kuowledged having passed over $4,000

part Of the gang supposed to be engaged Ia tbs
transaction were arrested, and one OF them SUN
GENTLY identified to hold him for trial Early tins
morning the same young lady was found In Canal
Sin attached to the Boat Yard OF Messrs van
slyke. Allen Il Co, with her feet and hands tled'
and a gag in her mouth. She was discovered oy
some canal drivers who went to water their hor'
,es and when found was nearly dead, her lie nav
ing been preserved by her floating upon the shore
where she was enabled to rest her head one
was taken to a house near by, where she Is doing
well. She says that she was seized last night
about IL O'Clock, by some men, when IN the BACK
ward of her boarding house-near the corner OF
Pearl and Court srees-and gagged and bound,
and carried and thrown into the canal. There
seems to be something quite strange about the al
fair. She says that on Thursday night last she
was seized while in the hall Of her boarding house
and served in a similar manner, and carried to
pond near the Gas Works, where she was left
with large stone placed upon her person, but that
this was not made public in the hope that by keep
ing it private the perpetrators Of the outrage might
be discovered. The whole transaction is involved
In considerable mystery, and exhibits upon its face
a series Of daring outrages which we hope will call
out the best exertions Of our police.
