From BEAR VALLEY--Capt Whittier,
of Aqua Frio, who arrived here on Sun
day last, gives US the following account
of the difficulties at Bear Valley. The
hole called the Rich Hole" is believed
to be really rich still, but owing to the
protracted law proceedings to determine
the right Of possession, it has not been
worked. The case had twice been sub
mitted to arbitration, after various other
attempts to settle the difficulty, but the
arbitrators could not agree. One Of the
parties then took forcible possession, and
the other party, Messr,, Daily g. Pan
cheluna, brought suit which was de-
cided in their favor, with damages for
the plaintiff of $4,000 When Captain
Whittier left Bear Valley, on Monday
Inst, the Sheriff was about to give Messrs
Thompson s. Co. possession. IL is be-
lievcd that other leads equally rich will
yet be discovered in Bear Valley

processes for separating gold from other
substance, Each Of these contrivonces
is said by its protector to be perfec. but
We are inclined to think that many Of
them will prove failures The lust Of
these discoveries has been made by
live Yankee in Celaveras county. His
plan is to boil the earth, which at VOL
cano, is very tenacious. Steaming and
boiling are now all the rage at Volcano.
The great difficulty, however, is to save
the minute particles Of gold found in

pie is now at work in earnest, and we
have no doubt whatever but that some
process of amalg mating will be devised
within a short time, which will obviate
every difficulty -Stockton Journal

Loss Of the Buckeye Belle.

locks at Beaver, IL miles from here. No ladies
were injured. The killed SO far as known are
'ohn Barbour, of Pittsburgh, produce dealer; Jo-
sePh Daniels of Harmar, engineer; Jno. West. of
Coal Run; IS Butler, colored; Edward Ather-
ton, of Beverly; William Shell, and ten others.
The injured are Captain Hahn, whose arm Is bro.
ken and who is badly scalded, Mr.. Whisson, first
clerk, who had one leg broken, andboth feet and
ancles mashed; he win probably die, Calvin StdI.
Senator, and G. C. Coyey had a leg broken; Ed
ward Blackner, and many others whose names
are unknown. The boat is torn all to pieces
Every fue collapsed in one boiler and the other
cannot be found. The accident is attributed to
to gross neglect on the part of the engineers one
of whom was on the safety valve at the time of
the explosion The carpenter says he told the
engineer not Hve minutes before the exploson.that
there was too much steam on.

goods they please, including all kindsof foreign
produce, without being charged any duty what
ever.
ssAll restrictions On the Importation Of articles
from other countries being thus removed, it might
be supposed by some that the country would be
deluged by foreign manufactures, greatly to the in
jury of native capitalists and workmen. But this
does not appeart to be the case In several branch
es of manufacture the Swiss excel; and the op-
portunity Of buying certain kinds of foreign pro-
duce at particularly cheap rate, enables the peo
pleto encourage the growth of other manufactures
in their own country. The peasant who buys an
an English-made knife at half what he could bup
Swiss one for, has half of his money remaining;
wherewith to purchase native made ribbon,
hence Swiss manufacturers of one kind or other,
be sure to be encouraged.

Abolishing Laws for the Collection
of Debts.

The principle of abolishing all laws for the col
lection of debts, is gaining advocates very fast in
many of the States, and we are not sure but that
it should be adopted. Such laws would operate
strongly against the business of the gentlemen of
the legal profession. The great body of them,
in case the principle obtains will be under the
necessity of turning their attention to other pur
suits. The Ne,cs published at Newport and Cov-
lngton KY, has the following remarks upon this
important subject:
eIn the first place, it places the rich and poor
upon the same equal base. The rich mans prop
erty cannot be touched for his debts, snd the poor
has none to touch. They are then both alike as
as it regards asking for credit,and none but honor
BILE men would receive credit for any thing No
man would then be respected for his property, be.
caus peroperty could not be pledged for the securi
ty of debt, and the poor having none to pledge,
would again place themupon the same level None
but the honest man couldthen receive redit,where
credit is given; the man of truth and honor would
then be respected, instead of the man of property
because there is no law for the collection of debt.
The honest poor man could then obtain credit,
when the dishonest rich man could not, and why!
because it is the person that is then looked at, and
not the property. A rich man is now looked up
on pretty clever fellow, when every body
knows he's rogue; and it is the credit system
and the law that makes it so. Then think of the
sacrifice and distress to thousands of the best
hearted men in the world, caused by the credit
system
Men are induced to 60 into debt, and are disap-
pointed in making payment. They are sued by
their friends and each enves the other. Ill will
is created and malice sewers their harmony, per-
haps forever. Each party tries to injure the 9TH
er, and large sums of money are spent in law
suits to harass each other
The whole system of credit is the system of in
direct plunder, the foundation of ill-will among
neghbors. the destruction of property, ant-Chris-
tian, and the foundation of trouble, misery and
death. NJ
No credit system No law for the collection
of debt !! Is this the true principles of Christian
kindness and fidelity, %

We do not recollect of ever reading sentence
$50 expressive as the following extract from an
ticle in tho "History Of the Democracy of the
United States" The definition is sound and
sensible one:
"The Democratic Party represents the great
principle Of progress It is onward and outward
in its movements. It has heart for action, and
motives for world. 1t constitutes the principle
of diffusion, and it is to humanity what the CEN
trfupa force is to the revolving orbs of universe.
What motion is to them, Democracy is to prinei-
ple. It is the soul in action. It conforms to the
providence of God. 1t has confidence in man, and
an abiding reliance in his high destiny. 1t seeks
the largest liberty, the greatest good and surest
happiness. 1t aims to build up the great interests
It remembers the past, without neglecting the
present It establishes the present without caring
to provide for the future. 1t cares for the weak
while it permits no injustice to the strong. 1t
conquers the oppressor, and prepares the subject
of tyranny for freedom. 1t melts the bigot's
heart to meekness, and reeonciles his mind to
knowledge. 1t dspels the clouds of Ignorance
and superstition, and prepares the people for in
struction and selfrespeet. It adds wisdom to leg
islation, and improved judgment to government.
1t favors enterprise that yields reward to the
many, and industry that is permanent. 1t is the
pioneer of humanity-the conservator of nations.

Free Trade.

There is not nation the globe that for SO
long period has maintained reputation for pat
riotism, love of freedom, and sound common sense,
as the Swiss. Yet Horace Greeley would have
us believe they can be neither wise, patriotic, nor
free, because they have no protective tariff The
following extract from an article on Switzerland,
in Chambers Miscellany, published at Edinburgh
is sufficient to refute volume Of Mr.. Greeley's
twaddle, ON the benefit of protective duties. The
writer, after speaking in the highest terms of the
independence, industry, and prosperity of the Swiss,
especially of the manufacturing district, says:
.i Plain Dealer.
g The most remarkable point in the social econ
omy of Switzerland, is the universal principle of
freedom in trade, in which respect it has no par
allel on the face of the earth. While in Great
Britain the principles of free exchange of COM
modties are still nothing more than theory, in
Switzerland they are practical good. A free ex-
port and import permitted. The government
has no custom-house establishment either in ref
erence to the general frontiers, or the frontiers of
the respective States. At all the great outlets
from Switzerland, strong bodies of armed custom
house officers are stationed by the authorities of
other nations, for the purpose of vigorously
ming and taxing all articles that come out of the
Swiss territory but within the Swiss side of these
outlets there areno officials to pay the least at
tention to anything that comes into the country;
and, in point of fact, the French, Germans, and
other neighbors export to Switzerland whatever

The Result.

We are as yet unable to give the complete re-
turns of the election on the 2nd. It is impossi-
Bile as yet to obtain the majorities in the several
States, and it is yet uncertain how many States
Scott has carried, though probably not more than
four. The table which we published last week
conceded him but three as certain-Vermont, Mas
sachusetts and Tennessee, there little doubt, how
ever that Kentucky has gone for him, which gives
him two Northern and two Southern States, cor
responding to his Northern and Southern face.

MR.. webster's advice to Rufus Cho-

|
The reported remarks Of Mr.. Webster, shortly
before his death, respecting the course OF Rufus
Choate, having been denied, the Philadelphia
Pennsy1uaniam publishes the following commune
cation re-asserting the truth of the report it had
previously published:
| DEAR SIR:-The Bulletin of this afternoon
contained card, headed, "Daniel Webster Ii
be1led,' in which paragraph from this mornings
Pennsylvania, purporting to be the dying mes
sage of Daniel Webster to Rufus Choate, is de-
nounced as an 'sinfamous SANDER and my name
is given as the author of ssthe libel" My connec-
ton with this matter is easily stated.
On my return from visit to General Pierce,
on Thursday last, I stopped for day in the city
of Boston, where had the honor of an intro
duction to Peter Harvey, Esq., of that city, the
intimate personal and political friend of the la
mented Webster. In the course of converse
ton with mutual friend and myself Mr.. Harvey
said in substance as follows: "Mr Webster ask.
ed nae, short time before his death, whether Ru-
fus Choate intended going for Scott. answered
did not know, but thought not''
"WeIl," said Mr. Webster, "tell him he has
youth, talents, and bright future before him,
and hope he won't mar all by supporting Scott
And tell him, as my dying message to him, that after
the second day of November neat, the Wing party
as a national party ,0iA erist only in history"
The above is the substance of Mr.. Harvey's
statement-the words in Italics being the exact
words.
Mr.. Harvey further stated that Gen. Pierce had
behaved well towards Mr. Webster, and was a
noble fellow, and one for whom Mr.. Webster en-
tertained great affection.
I had no agency in the publication of this con-
yarsaton, or any portion Of it in the Pennsylva-
nian, or any other paper, but merely repeated it
to some friends-Mr Cummings, of the Bulletin,
among others.
For the truth of the above would refer you
and the public to Peter Harvey, Esq, and Daniel
D. Brodhead, Esq, formerly Navy Agent oi
| Boston.
Mr.. Harvey will be remembered as the friend
from whom Mr.. Webster parted, with these words
"Harvey, am not so sick but know you'll am
well enough to know you. am we'll enough te
love you, and well enough to call down the rich
est Of Heavens blessings upon you and yours
Harvey, don't leave me till am deaa-don't leays
Marshfeld till am dead man. Then, as i
speaking to himself, he said: 'On the oath o
October, all that is mortal Of Daniel Webster viii
be no more"
Yours respectfully,
JOHN BRODHEAD.
