CASE OF COLONEL FREMONT In
LONDON

CouRT OF ExcHEaUER, (SIrrINGs IN BANco,)
MAY 9.-GIBBs VS. FREMoNr.-The Attorney
General moved in this case, pursuant to leave
reserved at the trial before Mr.. Baron Aldersont,
to increase the verdict by the addition of nine
teen per cent interest to the sum awarded by
The jury. The defendant is the celebrated Col
amounting to E3,90O, drawn in lS47, on Mr.
Buchanan, the Secretary of State of the u g.
ny the defendant, for the supply of troops, then
under his command in California. When the
bulls were presented they were dishonored, as o
specific funds had been set apart for them ny
Congress; but it stated at the trial that On
act had recently passed for that purpose, ut"
which was attached the condition that su eh
sums only should be paid as might be recove red
by jud ment in court of law. Under these
circumstances, the bills being indo,sed to the
plaintiff, and the defendant being in England,
this action was brought At the trial, which
was fully reported on recent occasion, the only
contention was the rate of interest to lie paid
by the defendant, the plaintiff claiming hat Of
California in lS47, which the jury found to be-
2o per cent. and the defendant insisting that the
rate at Washington ought to prevail, that being
the place where the bills were made payable, and
the rate being b per cent.
The learned Baron directed the jury to give
the Washington rate, reserving leave to the
plaintiff to move to increase the verdict by the
differ ence.
The Court, being Of opinion that the point
was one well worthy of discussion, at once
granted the rule as prayed for. Rule nisi grant

THETExAS GOLD STORIES.

The stories from The Colorado of rich good
discoveries, seem likely to turn out as similar
stories did from the ella a year or two ago
These last stories SET all New Mexico agog. A
hundred men went cut to hunt the gold. Some
of these passed on tc California, and few re-.
turned to Santa Fee. The story they brought
back was that there was gold on the GIla, but
that it would mt pay TO dug it. Harboring the
suspicion for some time that gold is not to be
found in paying quantities. who compared with
the yield Of California, this side of that coun
try, we looked from the first with dlstrust on
the late reports from Texas That these reports
originated partly in heated imagination over
estimating the value Of the ouriferous signs in
the supposed gold region, and partly in that ex.
cusable patriotism which gives new wings and
a stouter body to such reports in country for
which emigration is desirable, may be inferred
from the following statement in the Galveston
.Ne,os, of the 18th, being our last dates from
Texas:
On Saturday morning the steamship Mexico
arrival from lndianola, bringing number of
passengers, some of whom which were directly
from tho sd, gglngs,' and others from the near.
est towns in the vicinity. We conversed with
several of them, and they all concurred in the
statement that there vas gold in that re- ion, but
that it had not been found in sufficient qualities
to pay for the labor of getting it, Col. MoNT
GoMERY, of the U. S.army, who was from San
Antonio, assured US that it was there considered
all humbug. He had seen numbers from the
mines who reported The same thing, namely
that they could not get gold enough to make it
pay.
The Houston telegraph of the 18th, says :
"Several parties who lately visited the "gold
diggings'' on the Sandies and Hamiton's Val.
ley have returned, and report thatj gold has
certainly been found, but in very mall guam
titles gentleman who visited the mines on
the Sandy, stated that he did not see any person
who had washed out more than one or two
dollars day, and mary had found nothing

UNITED STATES LIGHT ARfILLERY.-A lew
days since says the 81. Louis Republican, a
number Of gentlemen from this city had the
pleasure of Witnessing the exercise of target
shooting at jefferson Barracks, by Captain
Brown S company of light artillery. 1t was a
test of which is called in the army service the
"sphrrica!cased shot," an improvement upon
SchrapnelPs cased shot The principle is this:
An iron case like bomb-shel is loaded with
muskei balls, and just sufficient powder in the
shell TO explode it. The aperture is closed by a
metallic fuse, which is SO graded that it may be
made to explode at any given time from the in
slant of firing the cannon. When it explodes,
the projectle force carries the balls within it
one and two hundred wards further, almost in
horizontal line, and with flrre equal to the dis
charge from masket. To illustrate: If the
artillery were mile in front Of the enemy :,
they would throw these spherical cased shot,
calculating the time and distance, SO that it
would explode fifty yares in front Of an enemy.
When the shell exploded, it would send more
musket balls through the enemys ranks than
whole company of infantry would do, and with
an equal or greater force. 1t is a death deal
ing invention, and when brought 10 more expe.
rienced use will make the light artillery the
most important arm in warfare.
The experiments were made under the
supervision of Col. Bragg, and witnessed by
number of officers in the army. The shots
were fired from howitzer, sns from six.

DISTRIBUTING OFFICE.

Our contemporaries at Burlington, the Hack
eye and Telegraph, are opposed to the es,ab-
ment of Distributing Post Offices in this State.
We d. not see the force of the reasons with which
they attempt to sustain their views. II, as the |
Telegraph says, "postmasters at distance
ignorant of the topography Of our State, diver,
mai! matter FROM its proper route, and thus de-
tain it several days beyond the time a, which
1t should arrve" If, we say, this Inconvenience
be felt now, worse state of things must follow
the di>con' inuance of the Distributing Offices.
The necessity Of Distributing Offices arises
from th. very fact which the Telegraph urges
agains. their establishment. 1t is impossible for
" pos, masters at a distance" 10 acquire from
maps, ar from any other source at their COM
mand, an exact knowledge of the direction of
the different routes and the locality of different
towns, in new and extended country hundreds
Of miles west of them; whose topography is so
little known, and in which the rapid increase OF
population and the growth of Rew towns, &C.
casion the frequent establishment Of new mail
lines and changes in the old ones. This defect
is remedied bv the creation of different Distr-
buting Offices, whose officers supposed to
know exactly the direction Of The mail routes
through all the country which receives its mail
matter through them. The postmaster at Chi
cagn can be expected to know but imperfcctly
the condition of the country west Of the Missis-
sippi, west and north west from this place, so
far as relates 10 the most direct route for the
importation of the mails from point to point
Every one can see how the discontinuance OF
The Distributing Office at this place would at
feet the the people north west and southwest OF
Dubuque. II must result in delays, irregulari-
ties, and instructions of the mails, which
would seriously injure their interests and pro
woke public clamor.
!. If Burlington wants Distributing Office, lie
her move for it. Her claims will doubtless
meet due consideration from the well informed
and sagacious chief of the 2. .. Department.
Her endeavors to deprive her sister cities ant
an extended scope of country, of convenience
which the public interests demand, seem indica
tive of that " local Jealousy which the Tee
graph dsclAims. Burlington occupies posItio
sufficiently prominent to avoid any misdrectlo
of tho mail matter sent her; and, If "Pos
masters at a distance" are so deplorably ignol
ant as not to know where Burlington is, wha
would be the condition of all the country yves
, Of the Mississippi, with reference to the mails
if the Distribution Offices in Iowa were d;scor

THE DISTRIBUTING POST OFFICE

Racheis lamentations were not I" a circum-
stance to the big tears shed by the Gaena
Journals over the loss Of the Distribution Post
Office. The Galena papers would have the
government think that there is no place in the
North West except the city down on Fever RI
,r; and they, therefore, assail the Pos, Office
Department, Gen Jones, the p 0. Officials at
Chicago, and the rest of mankind, for enter
tanning different opinion, and one more accor
dant with the condition of facts. Our Galena
friends ought to believe-for it is true-that
there IS very considerable scope of country
West and North West of that place, thriving
and popuous, and of rising interest and impor-
lance commercially and otherwise, which has
quite as good right TO have its interests attend-
ed to in the matter of distributing the mails, as
Galena, herself. We cannot see how the re-
moval Of the Distributing Office from Galena,
and its establishment at Dubuque, can work in
jury to any interests concerned, while it is in
many respects better for majority of them, and
Just what the state of things demands. Gale
ma herself, as regards the receipt Of mail mat
ter, must be equally as we'll off now, as before.
She gets her mails directly from Chicago, with
out intervening stoppage, while the country
north and south of her receives its mail matter
directly from the same place, without having them
sent first 10 Galena, which would occasion them
an unnecessary delay. Chicago, under the
present arrangement, becomes the distributing
Office for all the country west and north west to
the Mississippi, great portion Of which
north, west and south west-before labored un.
der the inconvenience Of receiving its mails,
"by way of SLANT" through Galena. While
all the country west Of the Mississippi, includ-
ing Minnesota and Western Iowa, has had its
interests best consulted by the establishment OF
the Distributing Office at Dubuque.
This is the view, We think, which calm and
unprejud;ced minds will take of the matter But
our neighbors a! Galena, cannot be calm, they
will not be comforted. They could have en-
dured the removal of the Distributing Office to
an out of The way mud shanty, with feelings
Of ordinary regret; but to that perfidious
Dubuque-it was too much. There is always
extravaganza in great grief, and due allowance
must be made for the extravagancies of Galena,
now in i" the very extacy of madness" The
calm will come.
