The TEXAS GOLD MENEs.-par,ies of
adventures are repairing from several
parts Of Texas to the gold diggingS on
the Upper Colorado. 4 party left Fort
Layaca and one left lndianola a few
days ago for the new Ell Dorado. The
LavaCa Commercial of the 30th ult.,
SAYS:
The late discovery ofgold on the Col
orado river. near Hamilton's valley, has
already created quite stir atnong the
people. There are now from three to
four hundred persons at work in the
mines, and we learn that they are aver
aging from five TO ten dollars per dav
! each, and some few of them have already
succeeded in gathering as much as if
teen hundred or two thousand collars
worth of gold. The tide Of emigration
has already turned its course in that
direction, and large number Of persons
are daily Ioming into the mines in
search OF The precious dust. Quite a
number Of farmers IN the vicinity OF
LocNhart and San Marcos have left their
crops and started for the gold regions,
The merchant, too, as we'll as the dig
ger, is up and doing, and is trying 10
profit by the discovery Of this new Ell
Dorado in Texas, for they have already
sent forward large quantity OF mer-
chandlze to the mines. A number of
our own town people have left within
the past few days for the di-gings, and
Others are preparing to leave i'll few
days, some taking with them pickaxes,
waShpans, &c, while others are taking
provisions to feed the hungry.
A gentleman direct from the mines
informs us that the country from Ham
lton's valley around has been explored
for a hundred miles, and that rich de-
posts Of gold have been found in every
direction. 1t is stated by persons who
have been in California, that the gold
mines on the Colorado are equally as
rich as the best California mines.

LATER RBoM TEXAs.--The Galveston

terrible storm there on the 2nd inst.
The damage to the shipping is very
heavy. A number of vessels were
wrecked, houses blown down. and some
lives lost. The storm was also felt at
lndianoia and Lavaca. The brio Fir.
gina, Cooper, of Baltimore, rode out
the gale n fine style at lndianola, and

Ihe discovery Of gold on the Colo

miners have already succeeded in gath
erlng as much as fifteen hundred or two
thousand dollars worth Of gold. The
tide OF emigration has already turned
its course IN that direction, and a large
number of persons are daily pouring in
to the mines in search of the precious
dust.
