upon which he has based his hopes OF
future comfort, ale destroyed, and he
finds his anticipations all blasted
These communications say he would
be amply paid for all this, by the inn
proved and ready market he finds for
his produce--er rather, the produce
he might have had, had it not been
destroyed!
But it may be suggested that in
such cases the miner must pay the
damages necessary to remunerate him
for his loss And would this be leav>
ing the mines free and open to all?
The damage done by destroying a
good farm will very often amount to
double the profits of working the mine.
This is what we would call paying
largely for the privilege; for in this
country where labor is so high, it re-
quires a tolerably good lead even to
pay expenses, and if every one not
sufficiently rich to pay the expenses
of working and these heavy damages
beside, is TO be thrown away, it will
soon give downward tendency to mi
ming operations which will not be ea-
sly counteracted for men will scarce,
ly venture to trespass on private
property, even if they know it con-
tains lead, without the most posts
tive assurance that it is vastly rich.
In this way it would almost preclude
1 the working of the mines; or in other
words, it will amount to an absolute
conveyance in fee simple to the settler.
/ No disposition should be made Of
these lands without extreme care, lest
the object aimed at, viz: to facilitate
f the working of the mines-should be
defeated by it.

WHIG COUNTY CONVENTION.

Next Monday is the day fixed upon for holding Convention of the Wings of Phil lips County, 10 nominate candidate to represent this County and Monroe in the State Senate, and Phillips County in the lower branch of the next General Assem- ply. The great importance of making suit able selections of candidates is apparent to every Whig, and in making such choice, every personal consideration or preference should give way to the more important ob- ject of selecting men who are known to be fully competent to discharge the high and responsible duty of Legislators-men who are known to be capable and honest and true to the public interest. That such men are to be found in the Whig ranks, none will deny, and it devolves upon this Con vention to nominate such. We have eve ry confidence it will be done.

TIE POSTMASTER GENERAL-Most per tinaciously some of the Washington cores pondents persist in saying the Hon. N. K. Hall intends resigning adding, how ever, that he will be appointed Minister 10 Russia.
 We feel almost authorized to say there is not one word of truth in all this. MT. Hal reluctantly left his business in Buffalo to stand by his old friend and partner, Mr. Fill more, in most trying crisis of his life, when an old personal friend was indispensable for him in Washington. To that business MT. Hall will return by the 4th of March next, whether MT. Fillmore be elected President or not. He desires to leave his post imme- d!ately, but will stand by his consent to see Mir. Fillmore through this term ofhis admin istration.-N '. Express.

COLONEL FREMONT IN LoNDoN.-The New York Herald says: "According to the appearance of things, Colonel Fremont is out of his element in London, like a fish out of water. It begins to be doubted by many ofthe Calfornians here whether his plans in Europe will succeed at all, and whether he can sell his property in compe- tton with the new golden discoveries in Australia. The London capitalists will much more readily turn their attention to Australia in preference to California: and we should not be at all surprised to see the vast gold discoveries of Australia entirely kill up California and all California pros. poets in London and Europe"

A singular circumstance, which we did not mention, was connected with the affair. He went to the theatre with the in tetion of killing some one, and happened to seat himself just behind two young ladies For some time he was undecided which to select as his victim, but finally chose the younger and prettier as being "nearer and more fit for Heaven." The neglected beau ty, on learning the reason of his choice, was so profoundly affected at the slight that she refused consolation, would take no nours- ment, and finally ended her life by commit, ting suicide.-N Q.
