ARRIVAL OF JENNY LIND AT ST. LOUIS
From the Saint Louis In,eliigencer Of the

of the quiet reception Of Jenny Lind in
ST. Louis:
"At All early hour the splendid equi-
page, consisting of a beautiful carriage
drawn by fonr elegant white horses
ornameuted with flags and rosettes, pre-
pared by Mr.. G. d. Walton, for their re-
oep:ion, drew up at the boat and convey
ed the party TO the. Planters House.
where rooms have been prepared for them
The exceeding quiet manner of her re-
ception was in cousoDance with her ex-
pressed wishes, the boat having been
purposely delayed, in order to arrive at
an early hour in the morning and thus
avoid the crowd of spectators which
would otherwise have thronged the Levee

American citizen in Mexico, which states
thu, the Senate of hat Republic has, III

with Mexico recently carried TO Wash.

ratified by the Senate of the United

Treaty was made by the Minister OF the

then, a new President and party have
come into power. and the Delta con-
lectures that it was by their vote and
influence that the treaty was rejected.

THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL-Gen.
CaSs.--The River and Harbor bill was

the Senate was in favor Of n, but the
minority had the power under parliament
ary rules of forcing the majority TO give
up the bill, or cause Congress to close
without attending 10 any OF the impor-
tan: business of the county
The miserable hair-spun sophistries o.
its opponents are unworthy of any con-
sideration bu. contempt. Plain men, all
over the country, who are not entirely
blinded by ;he prejudces o. party. are
unable to see why it is constitutional
to appropriate millions of dollars TO bnlid
light. houses and improve harbcrs, nc.

appropriate single dollar to improve the
great thoroughfares Of the West. IN
both instances the appropriations are
made for tie benefit Of the commerce Of

Of its Representatives. We find the Hep
resentalives of the district III which hes

against the River and Harbor Bill year

his conduct by re-electing him. Is nol
this proof that the people Of his dl sinc'

river and region? But we believe the
time is now come, when this great ques'
ton will no longer he made hobby iof

AMERICAN CoTToN AND ENGLISH De.
PENDENcE Among other matters which
a late writer OF Black euurnerates
in his SUMMARY of the dangers OF the
present condition of Great Britain. is The
fact that FIVE. sixths, often nne-tenths of
the supply of cotton consumed in British
nlanuiaetlres, come from America, aud
that 100000 or 100000 persons are
directly or Indirectly employed upon the
operations which take place upon IT.
suppose, says the writer, "Ameriea
wishes TO bully us, TO make us abandon
Canada. or Jamaica. she has no need TO
60 TO war She has only TO stop the ex.
port of cotton for six months. and the
whole Of our manufacturing counties are
starving or in rebellion; while Temporary
cessation Of profit is the only inconven.
ence they experience on the other side OF
the Atlantic. Can we call ourselves in
dependent under such circum ances?-
We might have been independent
Jamaica, Demarara, and India might
have furnished cotton enough for all our
wants. Why, then. do they not do SO!
The mania OF cheapening every thing
has done it all. We have ruined the
West Indies by emancipating the negroes
and then admitting foreign sugar all but
on the same terms as our own, aud there.
fore cotton cannot be raised TO a profit
in those rich islands-for continuous labor.
of which the emancipated negroes are
incapable, is indispensable TO its produc.
tion." ..

Co,n,N ARKANSAS weeks ago
us ,nent;oned the fact thai Mr.. Smell, an
accomplished mineraiogiss OF our city.
had discovered in the course OF scientific
exploration in certain portions OF Arkan-
sas nnmistakeable indications of an au-
riferous deposit. Mr.. S. had in one in'
stance picked out of the crevice OF
rock piece weighing about an ounce.
in which gold was abundantly intermixed
with the quartz, in the usual mechanical
combination in which the two are found.
Although this was but an insulated dis
covery, Mr.. Smell predicted. with con-
fidence based upon the geological pe'ni.
arity Of the country, that gold existed
there in probably sufficient quantities to
remunerate labor and enterprise. His
prediction has been speedily verified.
Yesterday we had the pleasure OF ex-
amining three very handsome specimens
of Arkansas gold. as genuine as any that
ever olittered amidst the sands OF Calitor-
MIA They were found in the bed OF
White river, some miles above Batesvllle,
and in a range of rocky country. precisely
similar in feature TO the region where Mr.
Smell obtained his specimen. The largest
lump was mass of quartz Of dirty
white color. protusedly penetrated by the
precious metal. and in some places so
completely mingled with it. that the gold
seemed like all integral part OF the rock.
Thesother samples were smaller, and pre-
sented nearly similar appearance We
presume that in the ,hree pieces there
could hardly have been less than five or
six ounces OF pure gold. These products
of the mineral wealth of Arkansas were
sent 10 Mr.. Snell TO be assayed
Mr. Smell is OF opinion that the tract
of country where this geld was found
must be extremely rich in anriterous ore
The pieces we examined resembled in
every respect the quartz gold occasionally
brought from California. 1t is quite GER
| tain that if vein he struck, Offering
anything like the proportion of metal
contained in the specimens referred to,
the adventurer will no longer need travel
to California He will have field
Tor his enterprise as productive, more
tempting aud probably less precarions'
some thousand miles nea:er home.
