New discoveries are constantly being

GOLD IN lowA.-GREAT EXCITEMENT. -
The Athens Messenger publishes The follow
ing extract from letter received by one o!
the students in the Ohio University, from his
brother in Tuscarora; Iowa, giving an ac-
count Of the discovery OF gold in Hardin
county, and the consequent excitement Of
the people on the subject
TUscARoRA, Iowa, July 80, 1858.
The State of Iowa is
likely 10 produce as much gold as CuIiior-
MIA. There is an immense amount being
taken out in Hardin county al this time.
The California excitement is nothing COM
pared 10 this. Ii is thought there will be
twenty thousand persons at The mines in
TWO weeks. This will, perhaps, be hard
for you 10 believe, but it is true at any rate,
| have it from the highest authority. Spec
linens have been brought 10 Salem and
tested, and prove to be very fire. From
five to twenty dollars PEI day is made by
each digger.
You must not fail to get home by the
middle of August, for we are all going 10 the
mines. The gold fever runs high.
Yours in haste.
