GREAT DISCOVERY OF LEAD ORE.-The Ga
lena Advertiser gives an account OF the discove-
ry of lead ore, which promises to surpass any
thing of the kind on record. 1t was made about
two miles northeast of the Linsipheur Mound,
is two miles distant from any other dggiDgs,
on farm in the prairie, and was made by boy
finding mineral in creek. "On examining the
bottom of this creek, it was found to be almost
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 block
mineral taken out, weighing from fifty to one
hundred pounds. This ore lies between the clay
and rock, forming a horizontal floor, and has
been proven on one side of the rock for fifteen
feet in width. This discovery may be consd-
cred as new feature in the development of the
resources of these mines-it being in district
Of country that has been laid open, on the prai-
ries, till the last few years, and was not consid-
cred as mineral ground by a majority OF the old
miners, and it adds another evidence to prove
how little is known of these mineral formations.
1t is impossible to estimate the probable value
of this discovery. There is none OF that change
Of ground on either side of this discovery,
which has invariably terminated the veins OF
ore throughout these mines, and there is rea-
son to believe it lies Immediately between Ha-
eel Green and North Fairplay diggings, and
that it is an east and west vein, forming a link
in the subterranean network Of veins, connect
ing these two mining districts"

been searched by the citizens, and the excite
ment against him was intense.
The editor of the N. Y. Commercial Advert
ser, thus nationally refers to the reported MUIR
der;
We cannot permit this statement to 60 forth
without qualification. We know not whence it
is derived, whether it be the version OF the Cal
ifornia papers, or of the telegraph reporter at
New Orleans. We do not believe it to be the
whole truth, by any means. AS it reads, it
charges the captain and officers of the ship with
deliberate, cod-blooded "murder" of passen-
gers This no one here will believe. The whole
truth will be insisted upon before judgment
is formed. The probability, almost certainty, is
that there was INSTRUMENTATION on board, and
that the captain and officers were compelled in
self-defence, for the safety Of the ship and the
other passengers, to resort to extreme meas
ures. That the captain should be unwilling to
avoid the Lynch Law operations of a San Fran
cisco population and its vigilance committee, is
no evidence that he believed himself to deserve
punishment.
On the morning of the LIST of November, the
mate was arrested nine miles beyond the Mis-
sion, on the San Jose road, and lodged in the
County Jail, in charge of the U. s. Marshal
1t is thought that Capt. Waterman would also
be arrested Six of the men died from dysen-
terry and three were lost from the mizen yard in
gale.

WING UNITY.-1he Albany Knickerbocker,
edited by young gentleman of talent and indie
pendence, thus speaks of the Organization of
Congress:
The Democrats went into the House on the
most harmonious terms, and elected Speaker
on the first ballot, almost every man coming
square up to the rack. The Wing gun on the
contrary, exploded and kicked the gunners sky
high-the highest vote for Speaker being 81,
which was cast for Chandler, of Pennsylvania.
Fillmore and his friends are harmonizing the
Wing party with vengeance.
The Knickerbocker has tolerably accurate
idea of the unity" of its party. 1t was never
more completely broken into fragments than at
the present moment. The sum total of its pow
er in the Union consists of President and Cab
met and the Governors of two or three States !.
Mr.. Fillmore is wise in declining to be candid
ate for reelection, when not single suspicious
omen for the wings is discernible on the polite
al horizon. He has no desire to be defeated.

HENRY PENNoYER, f.

eY- At a special term of the County Court
for this County, his Honor DENNIS A. REED,
presiding, held last week, Henry Gardner was
tried for an assault with an attempt to commit
rape upon the person of CoRNELA o. DAVIS,
on the 18th day of October last, and sentenced
to one years's Imprisonment in the State Pris-
on. Gardner has long been known as a hard
case, guilty of many crimes, and had the stat
utes of this State been rigidly enforced, he
would have been sent (where he is now SEN
tenced), years since, TO atone for the many
crimes he has committed. Gardner on his trial
did not hesitate to bring up his willing instru-
ment, Jesse Nudge, now living in Calhoun Co.,
to swear him clear Mudge's testimony had a
contrary effect from what was intended. 1t is
somewhat doubtful whether Gardner would
have been convicted if this Mr. Nudge had stay
ed at home. Nudge found it necessary to leave
these parts Immediately upon being released
from the stand. This Nudge will bear watch
ing wherever he may be.

No formal demands were made by the Spanish

a communication has been received from
Mr. Rives, which will accompany the message,
stating that the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs has dsclaimed any purpose of interfer-
ing with the commerce of the United States, or
of exercising any right of search, in the orders
given to the French squadron in the Cuban af-
fair. Lord Palmerston has addressed letter
of the same import to Mr.. Champion.
The Presidents message reasserts, in the
strongest terms, the views Of Mr.. Webster on
the subject of impressment as expressed to
Lord Ashburton, and all in such manner as
must produce an impression on the European
mind. This doctrine may be considered settled,
the positions of Mr. Webster being of an equal
ly comprehensive and patriotic character.
No official communications have been receiv-
ed from Mr.. Thrasher or his friends relative to
his Imprisonment, nor any other document ex-

patches to Havana, which will, doubtless, Sc
cure Mr.. Thrasher's release. The government
has taken every proper step in the matter.

ALBANY, Nov. 20, 1851.

This morning a man named John Moore, and
Elizabeth Moore, his wife, who lived about five
miles from this city, on the Delaware turnpike,
were found dead, both having been shot. Moore
was forty and she thirty years of age. They
had been out to warming, at friends
where they had drank until they became very
much intoxicated. Returning home, they are
supposed to have quarreled, and Moore must
have taken double-barreed fowling- piece and
blown off the right side of his wife's head, with
one of the charges. He then, probably, placed
the muzze of the weapon to his right side,
and by means of his foot, discharged the re-
naming load The ball entered near his heart.
Mrs. Moore was found in the front yard,
about fifteen feet from the door, her head lying
in pool of blood
Moore was near the stove, in the house, the
gun by his side.
When the bodies were discovered two little
girls-two and half and five years of age
were found standing by the side of their father,
weeping. Rum had made them orphans.
The deceased have previously appeared to live
happily together, and have never been known
to quarrel. An inquest was held and the ver-
dict of the jury was that the wife came to her
death by the hands of her husband, and that he
came to his death by his own hands

The message of the Governor of South Car
DINA was delivered on Tuesday. The docu-
ment is said to be very concise. The Governor
states that whatever action the State may choose
to take in the present position Of affairs, he will
sanction but he solemnly assures the Legsla-
ture, that since it resolved upon resistance, and
ordered the State to be armed for the emergen-
cy, when the hour should come, no wrong that
had been complained ofhad been redressed--no
indemnity offered for the past--no security CIV
en- for the future-that under the much vaunt-
ed fugitive slave law, it cost the owner, in some
instances, four times the value Of the slave to
recover him, while attempts at reclamation had
cost others their lives. He appeals in strong
terms to the pride and patriotism of the people.
He says that government troops have been sta
toned on the coast TO Overawe or coercc them;
that guns upon Pnckney Castle and Fort Moul-
trie are frowning upon Charleston; and con-
cludes that the present condition Of the coun-
try demands the burial of all party feelings
which have so much distracted them, and un-
ion of their energies against the common enemy
of their Institutions
