Among the many intrepid persons

company. The Herald states that the
hands employed universally express
themselves satisfied with the conduct
of the company towards them. The
Herald also says, that the results of
these charges will be likely to preju-
dice the minds of those who would
otherwise avail themselves of the very
liberal remuneration given by the CON-
pany for their services, and thus retard
the work already too long delayed.
and one which Panama, and the whole
world desire to have completed as soon
as possible. -

ANOTHER ROBBERY. On Tuesday last,

Mr.. B.. apprehending nothing wrong,
asked the Mexican if he could tell him
whether he was really in California or
in Texas, or in some other part of the

an American and an lrishman, each
mounted on splendid horse, dashed
into his presence from an adjoining
chapparel, presented their pistols, aud
demanded his money or his life. There
was no alternative. Mr., B. expecting
they would take his life, .inyoluntarily
remarked that he had but little money,
being only q poor express newspaper, or
letter carrier, and gave them what he
had of loose change in one of his poe kets.

press carrier must have more money
than that. very unceremoniously helped
themselves fiom another pocket to- the

that Capt. Stephen Crosby, Commiss-
ioner of the General Land Office, is a
candidate for reelection.
The Gazette Of the 7th inst, says: -
Not long since, one Of our merchants OBJ
tanned from Hamilton's Valley some spe-
cimens showing the ore to contain sixty.
eight per cent Of pure iron. This, though
not the richest ore, would pay hand
some profit to the manufacturer, and
lends an additional attraction to the
Upper Colorado specimen of iron ore, and
forwarded it to chemist in New York
to be analysed The return was receiv-
ed few days since, showing the Bragos
to be country of vast mineral veal h.
In this region we have discovered gold,
stone coal, salt springs, several varieties
of marble Of the most beautiful quality,
and all in the most magnificent album
dance. All we now need to develope
these rich mines Of wealth, is railroad
communication with the Gulf and the
Northern cities.
In relation to the gold mines and the
probable effect of their discovery, the
Houston Telegraph has the following
Several parties who lately visited the
gold diggings' on the Sandies and
Hamiltons Valley have returned, and
report that gold has certainly been
found, but in very small quantities. A
gentleman who visited the mines on the
Sandy, stated that he did not see any
person who had washed out more 3han
two dollars a day, and many had found
nothing. Parties are constantly going
to the mines, and others are returning
from them: but few are seen with val
liable specimens of ore. The grocery
keepers in the diggings make more gold
than any of the miners.
The discovery of gold on the upper
tributaries of the Colorado, may induce
parties to explore the country at the
sources Of that stream. and along the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains
where, according to tradition, gold was
found several centuries ago in large
quantities The little party of miners
that are engaged in gold hunting on the
tributaries Of the Colorado may be but
the vanguard of a great army Of emf
grants that will in q few years rebuild
the dilapidated edifces of the Gran Qui-
vira and it's neighboring cities in the
valley of the Pecos. Further iexplera-
tions may reveal rich placers in the Vi
cinity of those ancient cities, that were
in former times the sources of their pros
'perity. These ancient cities situated
far away from any navigable stream, and
surrounded by a sterile country, could
not have been sustained by commerce
or agriculture. According to ancient
tradition they were built by miners, and
vast quantities of the precious metals
were accumulated in those cities, when
they were destroyed by the Indians.
The recent discovery Of gold mines in
the vicinity of San Saba tends to con-
firm the accounts that more valuable
mines extend around the Gran Quiyira
and the ancient cities along the valley
of the Pecos. The old road that former
ly extended by San Saba to Santa Fe,
if it could he traced, might lead explo-
ring parties to the very placers that
were worked by the Spaniards shortly
after the conquest of Cortes, and from
which tho gold of Montezuma was OBJ
tanned. r ue,.-ta4r ..,9sc

Seizure of Ertensiue Counterteiting
Apparatus.- Last night about II
o'clock, City Marshall Crozier, accom-
panied by officers ]. and A. Mckenzie,
seized a very complete and costly ap-
paratus for coming, in a house just be
low Mr.. Burritt's, on Sutter street,
above Stockton street. The house in
which the seizure was made has been
unoccupied for several weeks during
which the fact that it contained this
machinery has been known to the po-
lice, by whom it was left there, under
watch, in order that it might furnish a
clue to the detection of the band of
counterfeiters by whom it was inten-
ded to be used. But the fact having
come to the knowledge OF others it
was thought unadvisable to postpone
the seizure any longer.
The machinery includes q large
press, for milling, of nearly ton
weight: a rolling mill, for pressing the
metal into strips of the requisite thick
ness tools Of every variety; and a
complete set of dies for the manufac-
ture of every denomination Of our ma
tional gold coin, from a dollar piece to
a slug The rolling mill was made
in Germany the residue of the ap-
paratus in London. 1t is believed to
have been ordered under the pretext
that it was to be used at the mint in
this city, a supposition which is cor
robor ted by The fact that the dies are
marked with the makers name. The
whole is of the most approved and per-
feet manufacture, and we are inform
ed, must have cost at least ten thous-
and dollars. ae a9l9
