GOLD IN WASHINGTON TERRIToRY.-
Where viii not gold be found ! A cor
respondent of the Pioneer and Democrat,
under date of Steilaceom, April 4,
writes as follows:
The most intense excitement that has
ever been created in this town, or any
otherin Washington territory, was caused
here to-day by the unmistakable dis
covery of gold! One of our citizens, DR..
P. NJ. Muse, took his spade and pan at
an early hour this morning, and repaired
to spot at the head of high water, dug
out painful of earth, washed the same
and found it to contain handsome guam
tity of beautiful Simon-pure ore! Soon
the news spread like wild fire over the
entire length and breadth of Steilacoom,
and lnen and boys were seen hurrying
to the spot, armed and equipped with
shovels. picks and pans. All went to
work with high hopes and hearty good
will, and none without success. Some
$25, probably, have been washed out
to-day, from hole some two feet square.
One man washed out beautiful speci nen
Of virgin gold weighing So. Claims are
already being taken and companies being
formed, and everything promises that the
work will be prosecuted vigorously and
with success.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intslligeneer announces the fact,
that last nights action of the Senate is
equivalent to the certain triumph Of the
Nebraska bill, as it passed the House,
and regrets exceedingly that Mr.. Everett
is about to resign his seat in the Senate.
The Union pays its respects to MIR
Clayton's argument against the views o.
the organ on the Cuban question. The
editor, whileprofuse with his compliments
to that venerable statesman, holds that
he belongs to the class of American states
men who are positively unable to realize
that the English Government can ever be
in the wrong in anything. His argument
strikes US as complete refutation @!
every position assumed by the venerable
Senator from Delaware in his recent re-
ply to Senator Benjamin. The Union
further shows that the Clayton amend
ment is wholly novelty in the organi-
cation ofthe United States territories, by
quoting from the organicl laws under which
they were erected into territorial govern.
mentS.
The Sentinel is merry over the abortive
efforts of the abolition press to kick up
a muss about the passage of the Nebraska
bill.

LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.

BY the arrival of the steamers nlinoi.
and Northern Light. at New York, W,
have later intelligence from California.
The two steamers bring over ST. 200,
600 in gold dust, and about 1000 passen
gers.
The Illinois left Aspinwall 18th inst.
seventeen hours after the departure of thu
North Star, and has experienced strong
Northeasteriy gales, with heavy sea dur.
iRg the greater part of the passage.
The health of the Isthmus continued
good, and the road is progressing finely
The next run Of passengers will go to the
summit in the cars, having only eleven
miles of mule transportation.
Later intelligence from Carthagena
states that all was quiet, Governor NETS
having declared for the Government,
against the revolutionists. The capital
| was still in the hands of Melo and the
regular government officers are prisoners.
1t is stated that Gen. Melo has nearly
5000 men at Bogota, and Gen. Herrera
5000 at Socorro. The latter would soon
attack the former.
1t appears that serious difficulty oc.

appears that the latter attempted to ar.

when Mr.. Borland interfered, and he was
taken into custody by the Mayor, but
subsequently released.
Five thousand lives were lost by the
late earthquake at San Salvador.
The following is the Alta California s
fortnight's summary of the condition o.
the country, the mines, crops, &C.:
In State politics there has been little
news during the fortnight. A law has
passed to elect State printer, which is
a victory of Tammany. There continue
to be rumors about senatorial election
at this session. The 18th of Nav has
been chosen for the adjournment Of the
Legislature.
The wheat crop has attracted much at
tention. Fears have been expressed that
the crops would be much too large for
the demand of California, but this is not
probable. The number of acres in wheat
in the State is estimated to be about
$4,000, which, at thirty bushels to the
acre, would produce one and half bar
rels Of flour to each person in the State.
The prospects of the crop are good. This
estimate is too large, and it is quite pro-
bable that the demand will but slightly
exceed the supply. The great majority
of the wheat fields are in the counties
bordering on or near the bay.
There have been four or five DAYS OF
rain during the fortnight, and the miners
and farmers are thus we'll supplied with
water.
The news from the mines present little
OF striking Importance, though the sea.
son is extremely favorable, and the gold
produce correspondingly large.
Report continues to represent the dig
gings at Iowa Hill as very rich. A canal
to be nine miles long, is now under way,
to supply water throughout the summer
to that locality from branch of the
American river.
A rich vein of quartz is said to have
been discovered near Placerville.
A party of twenty-one prospectors
started out on the 10Th, from Los An.
geles to explore the Virgin River, in the
Great Basin, for gold.

DIPLOMATIC GOssIP.-A letter in the
N. Y. Tribune on American diplomacy at
Madrid, after detailing the Black Warrior
conversations. concludes with this para
graph -
"At this stage of the proceedings, the
queen sent for Mr.. Soule, who, it may as
well be here repeated, is in favor at the
palace, while, on the contrary, Calderon
is hated by her. Her majesty, who in
dulges in very strong diet, into which
brandy and cigars enter largely, and who
is not very choice in her language, wished
to know of Mr.. Soule what the row
meant between him and NJ. Calderon.-
On MIR. S. stating the case, she stamped
her foot violently on the floor, and said
that Calderon was d-dfool that she
wished Soule would manage the affair so
as to get her rid of him, and she advised
him to press him hard" 1t is generally
thought in diplomatic circles in Paris,
that between Mr.. Soule and the queen,
Calderon will be brought to a conclusion
of some kind"
The above bit Of gossip may be true
but before giving any opinion on the
subject, we should like to see the Anglo
Saxon odd fool" rendered into pure
Castilian.
