Tie PEIls OF GOLD MsiNG.--A correspondent of the
Williamsburg Times in interesting letter from the Aus
alIan mining region, nnrrates several incidents insa
tive ot the dangers to which the miners subjected
Sometimes he says and hard humps of earth falling
down the deep pits have killed the perseverng laborers
and again, while burrowing beneath the earth they are
crushed by the settling Of the mighty above them
On one occasion friend OF the writer persisted in
ing pillar of rich EARTH which had been left to support
the roof of cave He succeeded in doing So but was
fairly on the upper ground again. before about twenty
square yards of earth sank down with dull sucn crash
into the space which he had just left But perhaps the
most terrible of all the accidents which are to be dreaded
in the deep mines Of Australia such as are set forth in
the following paragraph
AT Baaarat where the holes are very deem accidents
are common--one occurred there lately man digging
found the bottom growing SOFT but paid little attention to
IT. unl his legs sunk in so that he could not pull them
out; he shouted for his mates let the rope down and he
fastened it around his waist but they could not null him
up; help and twisted off the crank of the windlas
then seized the rope in their hands, but was OF no avail
the water dubbed up around the in the hole, the
qucksand rushed in buried him to his waist and neck
sled bis cries and thirty feet above his head TO
dig nm ont was useless and in fact to impossible
The rope was cut and its end pushed beneath the quick
sand IN another instance driving sixty feet under
ground ioosened large stone, and found rckle
through whero it had been but dreaming of danger
from water he stuck his pick in when the water burst
through with great force he had the presence of mind
drop his pick and turn around the drove him vio
lenty into the main hole and, being a swimmer he kept
upright in the hole until he drawn up when cnreessy
getting out he slipped and fell losing his life by the fall
But Notwithstanding the many accidents that occur per-
maps the are not greater for the employed than in
any other business traffic in life There are numbers
the mines who would not go the bottom of some of
holes for all the gold in Australia but the great majority
would gladly place their lives against fortune-nyse

THE TWO EANATICISMS.

Ii is rather avexatious thing that two anacisms should
take start in this country at the time should
say rather vexatious the northern wings One only
required and doubtless such leaders as Greeley are
often forced to excaim with the poet who mourned the
presence of two mistresses;
How happy would be with either
With toher dear charmer away"
IL for instance the abolition excitement the only
excitement on the tapis how swimmingly Mr. Seward
would glide on his way fortune But side by side with
the anti Nebraska feeling grows up the party Of elg
ious prescription and Mr. Seward is forever shut out from
sympathy in that quarter On the other hand Mr. Clay
aSnow-nothing leader would be much better off doubt
less if there abolition party in the free States
for in that eveA he would be able to the wings for
his own purpose AS they previously employed help
out the abolitonsts however he must wait but il will not
be his fault if he does make them both Mr. Sew
ard and himself In that event. embarrassed situations
will arise for if the wings of the North to be
snow-nohings' and abolition allies, how can the wings
of the South with them? Two hunder-storms in
sky-two lions in one iorest-two Caesars iii one Rome
are generally apt noise and confusion; and
as this is almost the first time that the wings have had too
many factions to concliate trouble may be the
suit Neither of these fnatcisms have fair play at
if he should happen adopted citizen who will not
be know-nothing and rice collision is inevi-
table and if the explosion does not end in purifying the
atmosphere may conclude with the annihilaton of both
the opposing fanaticisms.

DUEL RUMOR CONTRADICTED.

DUEL RUMOR CONTRADlCTED.
To The Editor Of the Ne,c York Times:
SIR In your journal of yesterday, under the head of
Washington Correspondence" had article pointed
referring to Lieut., Fauneroy and myself to
which, in justice to ourselves feel II necessary to reply
Faunteroy attached to the portion OF the
Daren expedition under my command and never applied
him the epithe mentioned by your correspondent nor
any ephet of q similar nature.
1t is that about the middle OF January last we had
difference of opinion relative to matter OF duty which
produced temporary codness but challenge ever pass
ed between and during my protracted on he
sthmus he cokuary in search of myself and party
and the first officer of the "Cyane who met me at
Panama in April.
There having been originally no good grounds which
found quarrel met friends have SO continued TO
the present me and have been in amicabe correspond

SIR: Last evening, upon my return from New York,
received letter of the 9th instant which hasten to
answer The article which you refer pointed out to
me on the day of its publication.
Had | only been implicated, should have treated it
with a contemptuous silence but as Faunteroy was abb
sent thought it best that it should be contradcted
which did in the paper in which it first appeared.
Having only copy of the journal in question, which
wish forward to Faunteroy, send you certified
copy of my refutaton of the sander, which hope will
prove satisfactory you and his other relatives and
friends.
You do me but simple justice in supposng that
not connected with the made OF his name or my own
and had you the original article you would have OBJ
served that it bears alike upon 1t makes accuse
Fauntleroy of cowardice and makes coward by inn
plcaon Should you wish to obtain copy of this article

My opinion is, that intended to 0me both Of
have obtained the of the correspondent Of
the Daily Times" in which the article first appeared
have determined to discover the author Of the sander
can spare time from my official avocations.
Approaching in the highest degree the feeling which
dictated your letter to me, remain
