GREAT DISCOVERY OF LEAD Our,

GREAT Discovery OF LEAD ORE.--
The Galena Advertiser gives an account
of the discovery of lead ore, which
promises to surpass anything ofthe kind
on record. ltwas made about two miles
from the Linsipheur Mound, which is
two miles distant from any other dig.
gings, on farm in the prairie, and was
made by boy finding mineral in this
creek. On examining the bottom of
this creek, it was found to be almost d
solid mass of lead ore for some ten or
twelve feet in width. Some three or
four holes have been sunk about four
feet in the clay, on each side OF the
creek, and specimens of large black min
eral taken out, weighing from fifty to
one hundred pounds. This ore lies be-
tween the clay and rock, forming hor-
izontai floor, and has been proven on one
81 le of the rock for fifteen feet in width.
This discovery may be considered as i
new feature in the development of the
resources OF the Galena Lead AIines--it
being an district of country that has
laid open, on the prairies, till the last
few years, and was not considered as
mineral ground by majority of the old
miners, and it adds another evidence to
prove how little is known of these min
eral formations. 1t is impossible to e.-
timate the immense value of tins discov-
cry, and there is no knowing but that
the mass of lead may sXterd for miles.

LATE AND INTER EsTING VISIT TO a.
rAN.-We find in our California files an
interesting account of recent visit TO
Japan, which appears to be somewhat of
an Improvement on the singular and
jealous non-intercoursc policy of that
people, though they are still sufficiently
afflicted that way:
The brig Rose, Capt. Anderson, on
her recent trip from Singapore to San
Francisco, was disabled and compelled
to make for the nearest port, which
proved to be village called Nipaking,
in Japan, with population of about
$4,000. 1t is believed this is the first
time foreign vessel ever entered the
port, and no sooner had Capt. Anderson
dropped anchor than his vessel was sur
rounded by 800. japanese boats, who
kept constant guard around him until his
departure. He was, after some difficulty,
allowed to go singly on shore, and wa,
escorted by sixty men short distance
through the principal street. All the
places of business were closed, although
Capt. A., when he neared the port, saw
an extensive market house open, and an
animated trade appeared to be going on.
He was treated kindly, and furnished
with sixty men to repair his vessel, al
though while he remained three or four
thousand additional police were brought
from an adjoining island. They APP
peared to be rejoiced at his departure.
South CAROLINA AND THE FUGlrlvE
SLAVE BlLL.-A member of the South
Carolina Legislature has given notice
that he will introduce bill to prevent
the citizens of any State, where the ex-
ecution OF the fugitive slave law was or
structed, from using the courts of South
Carolina for the collection of debts or
the enforcement Of any contract.
SCARCITY OF FooD IN CENTRAL Eu-
ROPE Central Europe is short of food.
Of this fact there can be no longer any
reasonable doubt. The potato crop, the
rye crop, and partially the wheat crop,
have failed over an extent of country
wide enough to justify apprehension ola
painful scarcity. On the continent this
fact has a political aspect.
