II Prof. o. P. Hubbord, of Dart
mouth College, writes TO friend as
follows:
81 have been shown, this afternoon,
and have now in possession. series OF
specimens, containing gold, found in
Bridgewa:er, W., by Mr.. Matthew Ken
needy, of Plymouth, VI. They were
taken from a quartz vein in mica and
talcose slate. and the gold is associated
and intermingled with the white quartz,
ferruginous quartz, galena and iron and
copper pyrites. Ii occurs in scales and
grains of various sizes, and is of beau
.iful yellow color. The vein has been
traced some so or 100 rods, and further
explorations will soon be made to prove
i. at other points. The gold formation
is known to extend the whole length OF
the State, and this discovery may lead
TO fair examination of the formation.

Ruins of an Ancient and Mag
nificent City at Tinian Island,
ian the North Pacific.

capt. Alfred II. Fisher, when Or his

ca, of New Bedford, (Which was eight
years ago) had occasion TO visi, the is.
land of Tinian, one of the Ladrone Is
lands) 10 land some sick men. He stop.
ped there some days. One Of his men,
in his walks about the Island, came 10
the entrance of main street, of large
and splendid city in ruins. Capt. Fish
er, on being informed of the fact, enter.
ed the city by the principal street, which
is about three miles in length. The
buildings were all stone, of dark color,
and OF the most splendid description
In abou, the center of the main street,
he found IL solid stone columns, on
each side of the street; they were about
As or so feet in height, surmoun,ed by
caps,ones Of immense weight. The
columns were 10 feet in diameter al The
base, and about 3 feet at the top. Capt.
f. thinks the columns will weigh abou.

l 5 tons. One of the columns had f. lien

were all straight, and the buildings were
Of stone. The whole of the city was
entirely overgrown with cocoa-nut trees,
which were fifty and sixty feet high. In
the street, pieces of common ear,hen-
ware were found. The island has been
in the possession of the Spaniards for a
long time. Six or seven Spaniards re-
sided on the Island when Capt. F. was
there. They informed him that the
Spaniards had had possession about 60
years--tEat they took it from the Knac.
kas who were entirely ignorant Of the
builders OF The city, and of the former
inhabitants. When questioned as to the
origin of the city their only answer was,
There must have been powerful race
here long time ago."
Capt. Fisher also saw on the island
immense Lodges of stone, from which
the buildings and columns had evidently
been erected. Some portions of them
exhibited signs of having been worked
Here is food for speculation. Who were
the founders Of this once magnificent
city in the North Pacific; and what has
become of their descendants! Whatev-

accession of the U. S. Commissioner
Considerable excitement was caused
this evening among the colored popula-
ton, by the announcement of another
attempt to carry off on the steamer Cor.
neia fugitive slave, without trial, un-
der the fugitive Slave Law. The effor,
was prevented by the proper officers,
and trial was held this evening before
Levi Davis, Esq, U. S. Commissi oner.
A large crowd was in attendance, pa
tien,ly awaiting the decision. The facts,
as near as we can learn, are as follows:
The slave girl, Amanda, was brought
to this city about year ago, from Ten
nessee, near Memphis, by son of her
master, and by the son set free, withou,
the consent Of his father. L he father
since died, and the ownership of the
slave has been purchased by the present
claimants, who bring proof that the son
was then under age.
After very minute examination, Com
missioner Davis decided in favor of the
claimants.
Considerable sympathy was manifest
ed for the slave girl, and all effort will
be made to purchase her.
The whole passed off very peaceably
and credilably.

allied position that some wicked Wing,
or 'fana,ical Aboli,ionist' might be plot
ting his destruction. he very naturally
regarded this as an internal machine, in
tended TO land him in glory before his
time. No. feeling any partiality for such
an apothess, he ordered this new Pan,
dora's box to be slowed away in the
barn, "unsight unseen," and strictly for
babe any one to go near it. Thus it re-
manned some days, until on Sunday
when no body was at home save Mr.. w.,
the Generals boarding master, who be.
ing exercised thereto by courageous and
laudable curiosity, determined to solve
the "iEfernal mystery" Accordingly
seizing long handled AK and placing
himself at rational distance, he hurled
the iron weapon with full fury into the
box. After waiting in GREATNESS ex.
pectation for the "machine" to explode,
Mr.. w. approached it, and discovered

FROM WASHINGTON.

There is good deal OF sickness at the
Capital, owing TO the very unusual win
ter weather. The old fashioned grippe
is the general cause Of ailment. Besides
Mr.. King, Senator Upham, of w., is very
i'll, and Mr.. Clemens 10 confined to the
house. Mr.. Scudder, NJ. g., of Mass,
is getting better. Mr.. King will leave
on We dnesday for Havana, but sick as
he is his return is very problcmatical.
A, the Democratic Senatorial Caucus,
held after Judge Badgers nomination, a,
which % Senators were present. it was
decided by vote of 90 ayes to nay, to
lay the nomination on the table. Gen.
Pierce will have. the responsibility Of
making the nomination. The objection
to Mr.. Badger is political. His not re.
siding in the circuitin which the vacancy
exsts--comprsing the States of Ala.
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and
Arkansas--is the reason assumed for his
rejection. Gen. Downs, now Senator
from Louisiana, who is succeeded bv
Mr.. Benjamin, Wing, on the 4th of
March, i. is supposed, will receive the
nomination from Gen. Pierce. The
Senate confirmed Mr.. Daniel, Of Rich
mond, Va, who still resides at Rich.
mond, for the 9th Judicial District, lying
in the States of Alabama and Mississippi,
aud refused last summer to confirm the
nomination of Edmund Bradford, of La !,
one of the mos: accomplished men in
the State. and who lives in the District.
The reason given for intending Mr.. Bad.
gers defeat is therefore paltry one.
The nomination NAV be confirmed
notwithstanding the caucus, and an effort
will be made to act upon il TO day.
A great crowd Of people attended the
Senate to-day, expecting to hear letter
read from Mr.. King in regard to Mr..
Clayton, and also expecting some public
discussions of interest.
Sidney Webster, Private Secretary to
Gen. Pierce, is at Washington on con-
fidential business. Mr.. Anterior, Sena.
