WooDs RAvISE.-This gulch, two miles

nd re.worked, for the last three years or
early three years, still yields rich reward
the laborer. A correspondent informs US
hat about two weeks ago prospectof 81 20
vas taken from one pan of gravel. A few
lays after lump Of pure gold weighing
e52 was taken from a sluice. The owner of
he lump was offered but refused $50 for it.
Another specimen was found last Tuesday,
quartz and gold mixed, weighing s64.
In the fall of'4s, this ravinc was found to
ontain rich deposit, and the upper part of
he ravine was worked by the late Capt d.
;. Woods and his companions. After they
bought it was well nigh exhausted, they
Parted with their claims 10 others, some Of
rhom, during the spring of 80, took out an
immense quantity Of the precious metal -
when these men were convinced it would
10 longer pay" they, in turn disposed Of
heir rights to others, and they again to 9th
y, each succeeding party digging deeper,
md making their operations more profitable
han their predecessors.
In tho early part of'5o, the main ravine
zas "works d out" During the summer and
fall, it was ro-worked, producing about sl2
per day to the man; often as high as $40,
md occasionally $50. During the summer
bf 81, it was but imperfectly worked, the
miners however, making fair wages. But
bow, in '52, it is again being worked, with
Equally good success with any former time.

MOVEMENTS or FLoREs. The Panama
Herald Of April Goth says:
When the British Mail steamsh;p
Santiago left Guayaquil, Flores was at
the island Of Puma, Of which, together
with small village Of some twenty.ave
buildings he had taken possession. Puma
is about thiriy-six miles from Qua yaouil.
He had with him the steamer Chile
and q feet of four sail. At Guayaquil
preparations were making to receive
him, and it was very generally believed
that he would meet with defeat and de.
struction.
We have also been favored with the
perusal Of letter just received from
Hon. c. Cushing, the U. s. Charge d..
Affaires to Ecquador, by A. B. Corwine,
U. s. Consul at this port. Mr.. Gushing
writes that the regular troops now EN-.
ployod at Guaya9uil amount to 1900
strong, and that they are we'll drilled
and disciplened. The whole number OF
government troops amounts to upwards
Of 1000, and they are all determined
men. Mr.. Cushing does not entertain
any approximations Of the succe Of the
Flores party.

ternal Improvements engaged the atten.
tion Of the people. Five capitalists OF
Valparaiso bad subscribed two million
dollars and the government two millions
more to the projected railroad to San.

REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED IN TAHITI. -
We published on the 18th Of April last,
a short memorandum brought by the
Captain of the schooner Lydia, Of re-
bellion which had -prune up in the So
ciety Islands against the authority Of
Queen Pomare. We find in the last
number OF LIE Troit d Union some fur
ther particulars, which though not as
late as our advices direct, ell up the
skeleton report we had previously re-
ceivsd. The inhabitants Of Rsiatea-
one Of the Society group-hsve changed
their form Of government. Up to the
present time they have lived under the
rule Of Queen pomare, but they have
just overturned her authority. She had
recently appointed one Of her sons Co.
vernon of kaiatea. Before tho arrival
OF their new Governor, the inhabitants
Of tina, island, like those Of the others
that adjoined them, assembled, sppoint.
ed Governor Of their own choice for
two years, and constituted themselves
into republic Of confederate States
each island to form . separate State.
The chief elected is . half white, whe,
il lie said, does not lack ability, and
knows we'll how to please the islanders
The French officers pay no attention Il
these changes The power Of Queen
Pomare being only nominal, il 10 impos
sible for her to compel her rebelliou'
subjects to return TO their allegiance
She was even on the point of being absn
donsd by those who had remsined faith
full to her, for they were thinking Of pro
claiming the same form Of government
As that adopted BY their neighbsrs.- -

CONGRESS MATTERS. - The COM
mittse feperted On amendment p,o
viding that so soon as it shall have
been ascertained, to the satisfaction VI
the President, that the basin and rail.
way now constructing at Philadelphia,
or kittery, are in full and successful op.
GRAFTON, he is authorized to make ar
rangemcnts for the collection Of materi-
ais, and cause to be constructed, upon
the most approved plan, a basin and rail.
Way connected with the said navy yard
and depot, and that he cause the said
sectional dry do k to be located in con-
nection Herewith.
Mr.. Badger, Of N. c., proposed to
amend the amendment by striking out
all authorizing the President to make
an arrangement, &C., and insert, in lieu
thereof, that the Secretary Of the Ma
Wy be directed to enter into q contract
with the patentees tor the construction
Of II basin and railway, in the most ap-
proved form, connected with the said
navy yard ard depot, substantially up.
on the basis Of the agreement made
with them under the act OF September
30, 1850.
MIR. Br0dhead Of Pa., resumed his re.
marks, commenced on Tussdny, in oppo-
sition to the sectional dry dock and ba
sin and railway He opposed the whole
system of constructing these docks, and
gave history Of the former struggles
between the patentees, in opposition to
each other, and Of their present union.
He pronounced the dock, &C., at Phila-
delphia not only signal failure, hut Il
complete nuisance. He was in favor VI
the bill. changing it, however. so as tc
provide for u stone dock and pier.
Mr.. Badger replied at length, show.
ing that the construction of u pier and
stone dock would, in the end. cost NJ
much Us the floating dock and basin
and the work was necessary and proper
tor national and commercial marine
and that the honor Of tho nation wa,
bound to fulfill the contract made with
the patentees, but which had never
been signed by the officers Of the Gov
ernment,and should now be carried out
The question being taken, MIR. Bad
gers amendment was agreed to, and
the Committees amendment, as thu
amended was concurred in.
Nj. Brodhead then offered a substi
tute for the whole bill, the differenc,
being that the Secretary Of the Navy
shall select the site; and that insteac
of floating dock, basin and railway, thu
Secretary Of the Navy is authorized t.
contract for the construction of pier
This substitute was ordered to be prin
ted.
