Another CALIroRsIA.-The following is an ac-
count of the alleged discovery of gold region in
the republic of Bolivia, situated in part of the
Andes about seven days' journey from the city Of
La Paz. The deposits were originally found by
an Indian on the banks of small stream, and were
of the same character those in California, ex-
cept that they were of greater purity The writer
is evidently under the excitement of extraordinary
hopes; but, making every allowance for that cir
cumstance, his statement, that Of respectable
resident in the country, is entitled to attention:
al again have to call your attention to the sub
ject of Curabaya. 1t is supposed that this will be
a second California. They discovering every
day new and immensely rich veins of gold, but
from one mine they have got out already $4,000
quntals of ore, which will yield amount of from
100000 to $250,000 in gold. This is only wait
ing for proper machinery for grinding
''Curabaya differs from Tipuan in one respect,
where they are veins and not washings, although
these last exist well, but not worked on ac-
count of the of the gold that is the veins
being the surface. The stories told of the riches
(and they gain strength every day. are almost in
credible and every one here is endeavoring to get
a share in some of the undertakings
81 wish could convince you and others of the
unheard- of riches which have never been explored
by the Spaniards, and which are only now coming
TO light. London Times.

REHABILITATION.

RENCoNTRE BETWEEN GENERALS FooTE AND
QuITMAN.-The Memphis (Tenn) Eagle, of the
2lst instant, states that personal difficulty &C.
CURED between the candidates for Governor in
Mississippi, Generals Foote and Quitman, on the
18th instant during their discussion at Sedgeville,
in Pamela county
1t appears from the Eagles account that both
gentlemen had agreed to refrain from all person
alites in their discussions. General Foote, how
ever, deemed it infraction of this agreement to
allude to General Qutman's connexion with the
late Cuban expedition, and had done SO at several
appointments previous to the one at Sledgeville
without provoking any interruption At Sledge-
Vile, however, when General Foote spoke of the
Cuban affair, General Quitmen stopped him and
said that it was ''ungenlsmanly and dishonest thus
to violate their agreement. Thereupon General
Foote called him ga liar" Blows were instantly
interchanged; but their mutual friends nterposed
and separated the combatants. According to the
Eagle, General Quitman has signified his determ-
nation not to speak with General Foote at any more
of their appointments.-C Charleston Com, July 49,.
[Snce the above was in type we learn from a
postscript to Memphis paper, which makes the
statement, it says, upon reliable authority, that
General Foote made no alluson whatever to the
Cuban affair in his first speech, but that General
Quitman himself introduced the subject in his re-
terms for it's in regard to that matter. &C.
neral Foote'S remarks, it says, were solely in
joinder and in defence of the Government.1

RISE THE Rio GRANpE.--From the Browns
vile (Texas) Sentinel, Of the 18th instant, learn
that, on the 9th instant, the river commenced rs-
ing, aud in the short space of thirty six hours il
had obtained the height OF fifteen feet above low
water mark. So sudden rise, such an increase
in the volume of water, together with the great
ocity of the current, and the large quantity Of float
wood constantly borne along upon its turbid bosom,
gave the Rio Grande, says the Sentinel, especially
to those who had seen it only in its lower stages,
quite imposing aspect. 1t reminded one of the
Father of Waters, the Mississippi, and appeared to
be fully deserving of the high-sounding appella-
ton Rio Bravo del Norte.
