Discovery of GOld-The Panama Railroad
Poisoning In Panama.

Discovery of Gold-The Panama Railroad
Poisoning I'm Panamn.
We have received files Of the Panama Star TO
Jan 2s. The Panama Railroad was rapidly pro-
crossing The track to Gatun will be completed
on the st of July next, and to Gorgona on the lst
of January, 1852. Engines will be placed upon
the road in four months. Hitherto the work has
been delayed by the desertion Of the workmen
but Gen. Bermudez has prevented this by au
thorizing the arrest and imprisonment of all who
desert after having enlisted in the United States
The Star has the following which had best be
taken with allowance
Gold is taken in no inconsiderable quantities
from the different mines in operation about here
and we have heard of an instance within the past
fe " DAYS where Frenchman accumulated some
serenity thousand dollars in the short space OF
months, by working one of these mines. Gold
has also been found recently on the llne OF the
Railroad the workmen in one day having recov-
cred upward of $40 worth. party OF Americans
left this city the latter part OF last week Tor the
purpose Of ex aiming, and, if practicable, work
ing one of the old mines, formerly worked In
rude manner by the Spaniards, where, 1t Is al
legged large quantities of the precious metal still
remain. There is also party OF three hundred
men now engaged in working mine, about forty
miles from this city, who, 1t is stated, average
about one ounce OF gold per Gay. Ihls nearly
equals the yield Of California.
The authorities Of Panama were fearing that
some attempt would be made to liberate an
American named Hance, now confined in jail in
that City. The Star says:
Early yesterday morning it was discovered at
the prison, that two Of the soldiers who were on
guardduty the night before, were laboring under
the effects of some powerful narcotic drug.
Measures were Immediately adopted TO ascertain
the facts in the case when it was alleged that the
soldiers had been drugged by VIM. c. Hance, who
is confined there. He was at once placed in irons
and removed 10 a close cell by himself.
Soon after the discovery was made one Of the
soldiers died from the effects of the dragging. At
post mortem examination, opium is said TO have
been found in the stomach, in quantity sufficiently
large to produce death
p. S.-Just as we put our paper to press, "
learn that proofs have been found sufficient to Tx
the charge Of the above murder upoa German
laborer from the Railroad, who was confined IN
the jail under the charge Of desertiOn.,
Ii is further stated that another OF the sold ers
died, at boarding house, from the effects OF sim
liar drug supposed to have been administered by
another of the escaped German laborers from the
Railroad.
Capt Coon, who was wounded some time
since, in Panama, in an ARRAY with DR.. Austin
died at the American Hospital in that city.

Ounrfz Mining.

From the Sacramento Transcript
company has recently been formed for the
purpose of working large VEN Of quartz rock, at
Tole's Dry Diggings, situated between the YubA
and Feather Rivers. The company have issued
one thousand shares, only two hundred Of which
are for sale at $500 each-Sl00 of which are to be
"a q down when the purchase is made aud the
balance is to be paid at the first dividend.
We learn from Mr. PiersOn, o0e Of the company
that the vein is at least three miles in length,
and about 40 feet thick A piece Of the quartz in
which the gold was discOverable with the naked
eye was puyerzed, passed through all the as
saying processes, and yielded 375 cents worth Of
20 d. 20 cerats fine, to the pound of rock. This
was one Of the poorest specimens which was
submitted to the test by way Of experiment.
In the Southern part Of the United States the
cost of crushing rock, &c, is about / cent per
pound, but the proprietors Of this vein calculate
upon a cost of 10 cents per pound Tor working
here; and yet they will make most handsome
profit. on account OF the difference ia their favor
Of the richness of the rock. We think their es
innate rather too high, but we wish they may
realize their calculations With u hammers or
Founders, weighing 500 pounds each, they cal
culate on crushing 90 tuns per day, which will
yield the Company frem $4,000 to $4,000 per
day.
This looks extravagant but should the rock IN
the whole vein bear gold as abundantly as the
specimens tested the estimate is fair enough
The whole machinery will be worked by steam,
and the owners have our best wishes that success
may crown the attempt.

Mining. GeneFnIlys

The prospect OF our miners is of the most
couraging character and they are only waiting
for rain to commence their regular Winter oper
atoms. Within the last few days the fact has
been discovered that the banks of the streams
contain the richest deposits, instead Of the beds
as heretofore supposed, and to which the the at
tention and labors Of the miner have been mainly
directed; that the banks are made up of sue
cession of layers, in some instances as many as
five in number, varying from one to three feet in
thickness, aud from one to tou- hundred feet In
width, each one of which has, at some remote
period of time, formed the bed of the river, and
and received the bulk of the deposits
Since this fact has transpired, explorations
have been made in several quarters, wh ch have
all resulted in confirming the opinion that this dis
cription of diggings promises to yield far more
abundantly thau any heretofore discovered, aGd

The Steamer Atlantic.

TO 1hc Edit0rS Of The Tribune:
NOVELTY IRON WORKS, Tuesday, Feb 10.
AS builders OF the Engines Of the Atlantic it is
due to ourselves to state that we are in no way
responsible for her present shafts. The shafts
which we had provided were according to our
judgment, of the best character, but in conse.
quence OF a difference of opinion between and
the Agent OF the Company, we were not permit
ted 10 use them, but were required to put in
another set made under the direction OF the Com
pany and on it's responsibility.
Not knowing the particulars Of the fracture no
remarks can be made as to its cause or causes,
but it is proper to add that experience in all co1n'
tries has shown how difficult it is to insure entire
soundness in such large forgings, and that after
great care imperfections will disclose themselves
that, in times of extreme trial, lead to such acct
dents as that which disabled the engines OF the
Atlantic. STILLMAN, ALLEN & Co.

The Finances of California.

The financial statistics show a more favorable
state Of affairs than was generally expected The
total debt of the State up to the 18th Dec, was
S4sj, AGO % The amount of receipts to that date
was S32l97T, while the expenditures amounted
10 s447 50, making an excess of expenditures OF
sl22,l7g The estimated receipts for the fiscal
year ending 3Oth June, 1851 are s5l9,55O, and II
the proposed reductions in the expenses are made,
they will amount to but $3.50 ,2OJ, leaving bal.
ance in tho treasury on the 3Oth June next, OF
s22O,346, nearly half the total debt. We may
therefore reasonably hope that at the end OF June,
1852, the State debt of California will be all but
liouidated

Our relations to the negro race come In after the
Indians have been considered. The Message re-
commends the passage Of law excluding negroes
from the State
Following out the idea Of a unity OF race IN the
State, the Governor then recommends an amend
ment of the constitutional article requiring the
laws TO be published in Spanish. He urges this
on the of economy as well as for the policy OF
having only one official language.
An amendmentof the criminal laws of the State
is suggested. For temporary purposes it is pro
posed TO extend capital punishment 1t is parti-
culArly recommended to punish grand larceny with
death.
The interest law Of the State is disapproved OF,
and change so as TO have law against usury is
recommended
The election of Notaries Publs by the people
Of the respective townships in which they reside,
is proposed IL is also suggested 20 pass law
in regard to the duties Of Commissioners of Deeds
residing in the several States of the Union.
The agricultural interests of the State are duly
considered The Surveyor General ought, accord
ing to the Message, 10 continue his attention TO
the statistics Of agriculture.
The passage of Homestead Exemption OIL IS
urgently recommended.
A general reduction Of the salaries Of State
officers is suggested, and also reduction OF the
fees of clerks. recorders and other officers. The
necessity of cheap and speedy justice Is insisted
on.
The necessity nj passing an act prescribing the
duties of Superintendents of Public Instruction is
pointed out and in this connection the grant by
Congress OF all swamp and overlooked public
lands TO the several States in which they may be
situated is mentioned. Even without the passage
of this last act the Governor considers that the
State is in virtue of the right of eminent domain,
entitled to all the lots in the city Of San Francisco
covered by ordinary high tide. He however re-
commends the cession of these lots to the city.
The Message recommends an entire repeal OF
the quarantine law, and a thorough revision OF the
set creating a Marine Hospital aud Board OF
Health at San Francisco. 1t also suggests the
ubolishment of the Supreme Court of this city,
The financial condition OF the State is consld-
cred at length aud the Governor expresses de-
c,ded repugnance to loans. In order TO pay pres
ent debts and meet future liabilities, the Message
says the State must "make more, expend less
aud borrow none To increase the revenue 1t Is
suggested to keep up the present rate of taxation
On real and personal estate and to reduce the cap
iatiOn tax.
The present Legislature is cautioned against
wholesale repeats of the acts Of the last and Ia
conclusion, the Governor strongly recommends
repeal of the fourth section of the first chapter OF
the Act to regulate proceedings in civil cases
The section reads, No action shall be maintained
for criminal connection or for seduction"
