 The torpedo found Tn the barn of Robinson IS now in Detroit.

GOLD IN ARKANSAS.


Some weeks ago was mentioned that Mr. ssELI an
compshed mineraogit Of city, had discovered in the
course Of scientific exploration in certain portions Of Ar
Kansas unmistakeable indications Of auferous depose
Mr. g. had in one instance picked out Of the cevce Of rock
piece weighing about ounce n which gold abun-
dainty inermixed with the quartz in the usual mechanical
combination in which the two found. Although this was
but isolated discovery Mr. Smell predicted, with conf
dence based upon the geological pecuary Of the country
that gold existed there in probably sufficient quantities
munerate labor and enterprise. His prediction has been
speedily verified.
Yesterday had the pleasure Of examining three very
handsome specimens Of Arkansas gold genuine any that
gittered amidst the sands Of California. They
found in the bed Of White river, miles above Batesv
and In range Of rocky country precisely similar in feature
the region where Mr.. Smell obtained his specimen. The
largest lump Of quartz Of dirty white COLOR pro.
usey penetrated by the precious metal and in places
completely mingled with 1t that the gold seemed like
integral part Of the rock The other samples smaller,
and presented nearly similar appearance We presume
that in the three pieces there could hardly have been less than
Eve six pure gold These products Of the mine
raj wealth Of Arkansas sent to Mr. Smell to be asaysd
M1nel 10 Of opinion that the tract of country where this
gold Mas found must be extremely rich in surerous ore.
The pieces examined resembed in every respect the quartz
gold occasionally brought from California II quite certain
that vein BE- struck, offering any thing like the proportion
Of metal contained in the specimens referred the sdventuer
will longer need travelling to California He will have
field for his enterprise productive, tempting and pro-
badly less precarious thousand miles home

spude for they well known TO be most devout in their

Having furnished my statement of facts ask, nv dear
SIR whether they do not make good the proposition with
which set out Do they not prove that the opinions feel
ng and of duty of masters and also the condition Of
their slaves, every where undergoing change for the
better Is it not logical at least reasonable to conclude
that effects Of such magnitude depend on causes Of
prehensve and permanent character OF these causes
cannot doubt that Christianity Is the greates-the most rea-
BILE but must be Christianity in the slave States themselves
mot Christianity in the free States except far il may
teach look into hearts and lives and let our
neghbos take of theirs Christianity may send its mis-.
onsres distance to instruct and reform the people but
send mandates Of conversion from evil Its Divine
founder directed bis apostles begin their ministry at Jsru
salem, and thence among all nations preaching repentance
and faith. He did command them remodel the laws of
Judeanor overtu the slavery of the Roman empire He
did authorize them to issue edics Of denuncation from
the Holy City, messages Of wrath from Mount Zon In
past times the free States and the slave States were both right
in this matter The former gave freely, and the latter re-
ceved willingly Teachers Of both sexes and preachers Of
the gospel by invitation Christian impulse, found their
way into the depths Of the slave States, where being wise
sepents and harmless doves" they eIered on both
and slave benecent influence. Many Of them are
still there quietly containing that influence, though de-
nouncsd traitors to liberty by their brethren of the free
States For the last ten years. however, but few have found
their way thher The burning and misguided Of por
ton Of people has awakened apprehensons in the South
and nearly arrested this mode Of action Thus earnesness
without wisdom defeats the very object that quicens into
life Christianity cannot take the heart by human violence
The soul Of Christianity isove the fruit Of Christianity is
love- This love binds heart to heart inspires mutual conf
dence and makes who dwell together in the same house
Of mind When master and slave are brought under s
influence, they become spiritual brethren one is humbled
the other exalted In all that relates common eternity
they live and move on the platform and forget oil we
ever learned Of human nature when we affirm that such
equality will not the to regard with deeper in
teest the temporal wants of the slavehs brother in Christ
Let us then, repeat place reliance this Divine influence
in connection with the other influences mentioned in the be-
ginning Of this letters let wait with patience the progress
of that moral and social reformation which has already soohed
the sorrows Of many slaves let abide the appointed
time, and look with hope to the Christian spirit of the age
for all that be done hasten the great work Of eman
cipation.
