WALKER.-To the "blood and thunder''
men who laud Walker to the skies we
commend the following extract from let
ter Of Col. Kewen, relating the account
of visit Of the aged mother and three
daughters of General Corral to the Dicta
tor of Nicaragua, imploring him to spare
the life of son and father:
"They supplicated with all the earnest
ness and tenderness of maternal and flial
affection for the safety of the son and the
father. Spare his life, bnt Danish him to
the renotest region of the earth, and their
wishes, their aspirations would be graft
fed. The scene was truly an affecting
one, and We were never impressed more
sensibly with the cool, unimpas.ioned
character Of a man whose sense of duty
was paramount to the feelings of humanity
than we were on this occasion. No emo
ton acas risible IN his CONFERENCE.-The
features acere calm and placid, and his
cold, passionless grey eve relarcd nothing
Of its ordinary Ji4gidity"

Rain is falling fast, our bitches are rea-
dy to receive water; volcanic eruption

in six weeks has arisen and shook itself
into city. We have three stores, three
hotels, one butcher shop, three blacksmith
shops and some thirty dwelling houses
with miners cabins innumerable scattered
through the hills and valleys in the imme-
date vicinity. The Eplace comes upon
the miner like an asis in the desert
Here he can secure to himself with COM
men diligence support for the present
and fair return for labor expended; by
work he can both gain competency, and
also whereby he may support himself when
after toll he returns to his native home,
or he may here fud pleasant little vale,
where he can surround himself with all
the comforts, and among his family (if he
should bring one) spend the residue of his
life in ease, and himself and offspring rise
with the growth of our infant state to
af1uence and Importance Messrs. Mar
low & Co. are now taking out per week,
one hundred ounces to four hands. Many
places prospected pay from two to twenty
cents to the pan. Last week in six pans
were taken out three dollars and forty two
cents, and in ten pans six dollars in the
same claim. Other claims are now being
prospected and all give good return.
Having since '49 searched for hidden
treasures, I would advise all miners look
ing for diggings to come to Humbug City
and risk a day or two if no more. There
is now some four or five miles square of
country if trodden by man at least unex-
plored, and being in direct range from
Minnesota, Chipp's, Camptonville, Orleans
and Woolsey's Flats, this locality affords
an inducement to miners probably at this
time unrivalled by any district in the
State. A daily stage passes through to
Orleans Flat. As soon as our bitches are
full l will give you detailed account of
the mining operations. Mr. H. H. Corsay
has just opened billiard saloon in o. X.

GEORGIA RETALIATION. "A scheme Of retail
lation on the States whose authorities refuse
to deliver up slaves to their rightful owners,
is seriously contemplated by Georgia A bill
for the purpose has been introduced into the
House Representatives of that State. The
bill proposes to con6scate the debts due by
the citizens of Georgia to the citizens of the
State to which the slaves have escaped, for the
benefit Of the slave owners. In the present
state of ferment of the northern mind on feder-
al and inter state relations, such an act, in
which so little regard is shown for the consti
tutional rights of northern men t~.ding with
the south, is calculated to highten the sectional
spirit now raging in the free states, instead of
allaying it. The national men of the north
have had enough to do to pour oil upon the
troubled waters of their section heretofore but
the passage of such an act as is contemplated
by the Legislature of Georgia tends 20 provoke
a spirit ofhostility which may know no bounds
No argument is needed 10 show the manifest
injustice OF the scheme. How can q New
York merchant as a private citizen be held
responsible for the acts of the government of
his State But Georgia will injure herself
pecuniarliy and iu reputation more by the pas
sage of an act OF retaliation than any state she
attempts to spite and herbest informed intellects
see i. A sudden stop would be put to the credit
system, which would operate vastly to the
benefit of Northern merchants. The press in
Georgia is opposed to the measure, and for
the credit of the state it ought to fail The i'm
beetle embargo of Virginia on the commerce
of New York, because VIM H. Seward refused
to deliver fugitives from labor to the executive
of the former state on demand was a similar
scheme, ard ought to stand on the page of his
tory as the last attempt of one state to coerce
another in defiance of the Constitution which
offers ample protection to each and all, against
the encroachments of any.

GEN. woo1.-A correspondence of the Alto

GEN. WooL.-A correspondence Of the Alta
writing from Fort Vancouver in Oregon says:
Il know that one year ago Gen. Wool asked
the Sec. OF War for regiment of dragons
for California and Oregon service, and that he
was not only refused but rebuked, for making
the request Now if the Generals sagacity in
this matter, had been seen, and his request
granted, this fighting would have been done in
half the time it will now take to get things in
fighting trim, and vast amount of innocent
women and children saved from savage and
cruel death, and the hand of the Indian devils
stayed in their Internal cruelty.
The writer further states that the General
is surrounded with an excellent staff, the army
will be supplied with every thing needed, and
stirring news may be expected from the seat Of
war.

OMEcA.-From the correspondence of
friend at Omega We are in possession of
the most cheering news from that locality
During the past summer many tunnels
have been run into the hills, and shafts
sunk with favorable results. One shaft
on Independence Hill, on reaching the
bottom, paid $3.50 to the pan. Good
prospects are to be obtained from Bour-
bon, Sterling, Sour Krout, and Ohio Hills.
Hydraulic works are being erected on
many of the hill sides preparatory to open.
ing claims by deep cuts. The most seri-
Gus drawback to the development of the
hills in this vicinity hitherto, has been the
extortionate price for water. The price
is now reduced to 25 cents per inch, in
consequence of which the most favorable
results are confidently anticipated. Omega
is supplied with two good hotels, sever al
stores where goods are sold at Nevada pri-
ces, and a ''smithY where Dean is ready
to steel a pick with the best of temper. D
"Old Jovial Van" has fitted up saloon
for the dispensation of the unadulterated.
In opposition to him division of the Sons
of Temperance numbering over 100 men,
bers, affords an opportunity to the initia-
ted to spend many agreeable evenings
during the winter.
Green & Co.'s Express forwards mail
matter with promptness and despatch, and
measures have been taken to establish a
post Office in the place.
Our correspondent informs US that there
is plenty of vacant ground in and about
Omega inviting the attention of miners.

FILLIBUsTERIsM.- better evidence of
the wickedness of the expedition and acts
of Walker is needed than the character of
the men who are his apologists through
the public prints. 1t takes just such
minds to affiliate with raseality None
but the most debased and abandoned can
admire the perpetration of outrages that
stain the American name. Constitutional
loafers and pot-houso politicians, who grow
martial and belligerent over any giren
amount OF whisky, may have maudlin
sense of glory acquired by murder and
piracy, but even with them distance lends
enchantment to the view, for were the
scene Of danger near, their well known
poltroonery would take them out of harms
way as fast as quivering limbs could carry
