GOLD IN ABBEvILLE, s. C.-Mr. Dorm, the
owner of gold mine in Abbevlle District,
informs the editor of the Banner, that in two
weeks he has realized the sum of ten thou
sand dollars and upwards from his operations
with eight hands. The work of two days
alone yielded him something over three
thousand dollars. Independent of the gold,
there is at this mine, says the Banner, mex
haustible quantities of MANGANESE, which
commands ready sale in the Northern mar
kets, and of itself would be a fortune.

CONNECTICUT FOR THE Commemorative
Wings of Connecticut held rousing Con-
vcntion on the 4th of March, at New Haven,
at which the Compromise measures and the
Administration were sustained in the follow
ing series Of resolutions, which were reported
by Committee, and fully debated by Mes
srs. Stuart, Tyler, Ferris, Hopkins, White,
Trumbull, kellogg, and Others, and separate
vote being taken on each.
Rcsolred, That we rc-affirm, as the cardin-
al policy of our land, the great measures of
protection to American Industry, of Internal
Improvements, and the principle of a just dis
tribution of the public lands, whenever the
country is out of debt, as vital to the pros
pcrity of the country, and that judicous
system of discriminating specific duties in
laying revenue is demanded particularly at
the present time by the depressed condition
of labor and capital.
Resolred, That the measures passed by
Congress in 1850, for the settlement of high
ly exciting sectional questions, We're adopted
upon the principle of mutual concession and
compromise, and that they ought therefore to
be maintained inviOlate, and carried out in
good faith by all sections of the country.
ResolUed, That we gratefully accord to
President Fillmore and his distinguished
Cabinet, the praise of conducting his admin.
istration upon truly national principles, with
high ability, integrity, and wisdom.

Webster and Fillmore on the whig side, and
Cass and Douglass on the democratic. We

MIDDLE RAIL TO PREVENT CARS RUNNING

MIDDLE RAIL TO PREVENT CARS RUNNING
OF THE TRAcK.-Judge Carpenter, of Rome,
N. Y, has invented a means of preventing
railroad trains from running off the track. -
The invention consists of a middle rail placed
in the centre of, and raising considerably a.
bove the two outer rails, and fastened to the
same cross-ties. A saddle is attached to the
engine and cars at both ends, which sets over
the middle rail, with friction rollers to play
on both sides of it, thereby preventing the
cars from rocking or running off. Whenever
there is tendency to run off, these friction
rollers play against the middle rail, and bring
them back to their place again. 1t costs $500
a mile, and an adaptation oft, could be made
to assist trains in ascending elevated planes.

CALIFORNIA AND SLAvERy.-The lugltNe
slave law, which lately passed the California
Assembly, provides that slaves brought INTO
the State prior to the adoption Of the state
constitution shall be liable to the provisions
of the congressional fugitive slave law. ms
it is alleged, is an intraction of the coNs'i'
tuition of that State, which says that neither
slavery nor involuntary scrvi'ude, except Tor
crime shall ever be tolerated in the State.
In the California Assembly, FEB. 10, MI
Peachy presented Il memorial from number
of farmers or planters of South Carolina and
Florida, asking the privilege to bring their

A bill has also been introduced into the
Legislature to call Il convention to revise the

LOUIS NAPoLEoN's SITUATIoN.-Th posi-
ton of the usurpcr in France is not a very de-
sirablc one for men of weak nerves. Punch
represents Napoleon the Little us Damocles
with sharp pointed sword suspended by n
single hair above his head. There is doubt
less much truth in the illustration. The life
of the tyrant hangs by Il thread, which the
bullet of Il rifle may cut asundcr any day.
We wonder, by the way, that the French
Brutuscs do not practice with the rifle. 1t is
much surcr than the pistol or the poinard.-
A Paris correspondent Of the N. y. Herald
writes at is certain that within Il month, the
traitor, Louis Napoleon, will be either shot
ut the Opera or in the street, by some daring
man who will sacrifice lis life upon the altar
of his country This bloody deed will end
the difficulty, and it is now, at this epoch, the
safest thing to be done in order to get rid OF
such an atrocious ambition" The Paris cor
respondent of the Boston Transcript also
writes of the usurpcr Il would bet $500 he

exposes himself at all. In this case God OIL

"NTr. Murphy, it will be seen, would not

man, as such was elected, and rs such expects
to remain, he is Il democrat and nothing but Il

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHING TON, March Is.

| w ASlilNb lON, -fIalSh
The harmony of the democratic party
suffers daily from the fierce disputes among
its members. 1t is alleged by the Republic
that the party could not now unite and carry
any party measure in the House. There is
much i'll will between the state-right's demo-
Gratis and the union democrats; and also be-
tween the friends of the old party leaders and
those Of the younger democracy. Most of
the discussions in the House have reference
of late TO these fcuds, and are well calculated
to promote them.
1t has been lately intimated in adyiccs from
Europe that the larger continental powers are
preparing to absorb the weaker ones There
may be some truth in this, and it is quite
certain that all these powers are armed or are
arming as if expecting shock of arms. This
may or may not ultimately concern us. But
it is admitted that this country is in some
respects very deficient in its defenccs, especial
ly on the sca-board. The artillery arm has
been much neglected, and, indeed, il is scarce
~ to be said that we have any artillery. There
are now but two batteries of the flying artil-
lcry in the service; and the artillery companies
have been drilled as infantry.
WASHINGTON, March Is.
Mr. Clay is still very feeble: and instead Of
attempting again to reach the Senate Cham
Der, he will avail himself, if able, Of the fine
weather, to reach home.
Though nearly four months have elapsed
since the session of Congress commenced,
yet, it is admitted that little progress has been
made in business, and that there is no immc-
date prospect of an expeditions despatch of
public business There are many causes for
this delay. One is that the members are still
perplexcd with disputes arising in the two
parties relative to the settlement of the terri
torial and slavery question. Another is the
very important question between the Old
States and the new States, as to the DISPOSE
ton Of the public domain.
These disputes have IN immediate bearing
upon the approaching Presidential nomina-
tons. While parties are divided on these
topics, they hesitate to act on any great
measures.
The deficiency appropriation bill ought to
pass, and the homestead bill will probably be
laid aside to give it consideration. Drafts on
the Government are protested, and many
pressing claims neglected on account of the
delay Of this bill
No provision has yet been made for the
printing of the Seventh Census.
On Friday evening the last drawing room
of the season, at the Presidents, was held,
and it was attended by all the Cabinet and Il
throng of ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Fillmore, if he is an aspirant for the
succession, does not take any pains TO pro-
mote his views. lie certainly does less in
relation to the matter, so far as his prospects
ar, concerned, even for the nomination, than
any Presidential aspirant ever did.

A Washington letter says:
The result of the elections in New lamp
shire is highly favorable to the adoption of
the compromise resolutions, in Congress and
ut Baltimore. Either the Hon. Edmund
Burke, or the Hon. Chas. II. Pcasce or the
Hon. Harry Hubbard, will be the next demo-
cratic Senator from the Granite State. Mr..
Hale, though he has made Il very good fight,
is entirely distanccd. The elections in New
Hampshire have completely vindicated the
constitution. The delegates from New lamp
shire to the Baltimore Convention, are known
to be in favor of Gen. Cass, and next to him
for Douglass. There is but little doubt that
Gen. Cass will have the whole New England
vote on the first ballot, and with it that of
half of New York, and the whole of Ohio.
Gen. Cass, i'll spite of the wirc-woriing
politicians, has got the inside track.
