SLAUGHTER OF RUNAWAY NEGROES IN
TExAs.-The Victory Advocate of the
18th ult., says that Capt. McCulloch
and his rangers lately encountered a
gang ofrunaway negroesin the neigh
borhood of Neuces, while making
their way towards Mexico. They
were Immediately challenged to sur
render, butinstead of complying with
the demand, they opened fire on
McCulloch's men, killing two and
wounding one of them. A general
engagement then ensued, in which
all the negroes were killed. These
negros are supposed to have run away
from plantations on the Brazos, and
have given much trouble to the coun-
ties of Dewitt and Victoria.

Prosperity.

None but the temperate, the regular, and the vir-
tuous, know how to enjoy prosperity They bring
to its comforts the manly relish of sound incorrupt-
ed mind. They stop at the proper point before the
engagement degenerates into disgust, and pleasure
is converted into pain They are strangers to those
complaints which flow from Spleen caprice and all
the fantastical distresses of vitiated mind While
riotous indulgence enervates both the body and the
mind, purity and virtue heighten all the powers of
human fruition. Feeble are all pleasures in which
the heart has share. The selfish qualification of
the bad both in their circle and short in
their duration. But prosperity is redoubled to a
good man, by his generous of it. 1t is reflected
back upon him from every one whom he makes hap

The Alta has extracts from N. s.
Wales papers from which we learn that
a great discovery Of gold is related hay-
ing been made near Bathurst, in the
Placer of that district. Considerable
excitement was created as the Bathurst
Free Press in forms US, by the arrival in
that place, during the month Of July, of
an one hundred weight lump Of nearly
pure gold. Sydney was made noisy with
excitement. The news is told in the
following ex tract from the Sydney Morn-
ing Herald, July IS;
The report which reached town on
Tuesday, that one hundred and six
pounds weight Of gold had been picked
up in one place, came from so many par
ties that we had little doubt of its truth,
and yet it was so astounding that We
could scarcely credit it, Yesterday,
however, brought confirmation of the re-
port. There is no longer any doubt
about it, On Monday the gold was de-
posted in the Union Bank, at Bathurst,
by DR.. Kerr, the fortunate owner. We
believe this to be an unparalleled case.
In California, we believe, twenty-eight
pounds of gold was the largest quantity
ever found in one place. In the Muse
UNI ut St, Petersburgh there is piece
of gold weighing seventy pounds; but
one hundred pounds was never found
before. 1t is much to be regretted that,
in the excitement natural upon suoh an
occasion, DR.. Kerr broke up the quartz
in which the gold was embedded. A
block of quartz weighing but seventy
Eve pounds, and containing sixty pounds
OF pure gold. would have been priced far
beyond its intrinsic value. 1t is useless,
however, to regret what is past, nor
should we scan too narrowly the acts of
one who suddenly and unexpec tedly
finds himself in possession of fortune.
There can be no doubt that when
this unprece edented fact becomes known
in England, it will cause the most in
tense excitement.

commenced laying stone at the north
wing. The foundation walls are eight
feet nine inches thick. We learn that
the new Hall of Representatives will
have three hundred seats for members,
besides accommodations for persons priv
ileged to the floor. The Senate Cham
ber will be provided with one hundred
seats. The galleries on each branch
will accommodate two thousand persons,
or more than twice the number under

LAW TRIUMPHANT IN STOCKTON J
The horse thief case we mentioned in
our last, upon which the Jury could not
agree, and were discharged, again came
up for trial before the Court of Sessions
on Monday, Judge Emory presiding, as
sisted by Justices Weir and Shafer.--
The result has been satisfactory to the
community and to the law, which has
been so often laxlv administered.
The first case was that of Frederick
Salkmar, alias Flat Foot, and after q
careful hearing, it was submitted to the
Jury. The verdict found him guilty,
and the Court sentenced the prisoner to
receive the severest penalty of the law,
which under the new Statute is death
by Hanging, The prosecution in this
case was assisted and mainly conducted
by Messrs. Terry g. Perley.
James Boland next came up for trial,
and received as his quantum of Justice,
