The majority of the prisoners who escaped

A New GOLD MINE IN CALFoRNIA--A let
ter to the Augusta Chronicle states that rich
gold mine has recently been discovered in Hart,
late portion of Ebert county. Gold was found
in that portion of the State some years ago,
but not in sufficient quantities to make it wor-
thy ofnotce. The correspondent of the Chron.
icle says:
"One of the richest gold veins in the South
was discovered few days ago by Mr.. James
Brown, in Hart county, on his own land. 1t is
in micaceous slate about FIVE feet wide, and the
ore saw washed out yielded $40 per bushe
and some parts of the vein give from 20 to $50.

DEFENCE OF LIEUT.. HUNTER.-Lieut. c. G.
Hunter, who lately brought his vessel, the U. s.
brig cambridge, home without leave from the
Commander of the squadron to which it was at
tached,--for which procedure he has been dis
charged from the navy,--has published card
"to the American public" giving the reasons
which actuated his return. 1t appears from this
card that Lieut. ii. wanted to 60 to Paraguay,
"to extend helping hand to our unfortunate
coun;rymen" there against whom an edict of
Punishment had been promulged, and that the
commander Of the squadron would not permit
him to 90, but sent him somewhere else.
Det Free Press
Says Lieut. II. -
"Vessels of war are abroad for the sole pur-
pose of protecting the lives, property, and rights
of our citizens. When found that my requests
to 60 to Paraguay were refused by the Com
mander-in- Chief Of the Brazil squadron, when
one month later he had direct and authentic in
formation from Lieut.. Moore, of the navy, Of
the actual condition of affairs in Paraguay, and
the means TO send me orders again at hand
when saw that the fear of responsibility made
the Commander-in-C Chief yet decline sending me
where vessel Of war was so much needed no
longer hestated, but brought back my command
to the United States, rather to ingoriously rot
in the mud than ingloriouslyto sail upon the
ocean,"

PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The
Jefferson city correspondence of the Paris Mer-
curry says:
The work on the Pacific Railroad is being
pushed forward with great energy Price e.
Co. have the contract from here to Kansas, and
also number of sections between here and ST.
Louis, and have now about two thousand labor
ers at work upon the same. The road will run
for several miles at the foot of the bluffs from
this place and several hundred hands are now
engaged in blasting and digging down the bluffs,
in order to make road bed along the same for
the rails Hence you may readily suppose that
we have a goodly number of Irish laborers here
as well as legislators and lobby members.

THE OLIVE BRANCH-We afforded ourselves
the pleasure last evening of hasty visit to the
new steamer Olive Branch, now in course of
completion at this port, and intended to ply up
on Grand River, between this place and Grand
Rapids.
We were very favorably impressed with the
beauty of her model, and the perfection of
workmanship exhibited in every department, and
no doubt she will accomplish all that her enter
prising owners expect. With her three boilers,
two powerful engines and stern wheel, she will
doubtless far excel in speed, any other boat that
has ever foated upon the river; and the superb
or conveniences afforded for the care and com.
fort of passengers in her spacious elegantly fur
nished, admirably arranged and well ventilated
cabins, will render her truly favorite with the
citizens residing at different points on the line
of the river, whose business enables them to
patronize largely the boats; especially so when
we take into further consideration that the o.
i've Branch is to be placed under the control of
that gentlemanly, noble-hearted and very ac-
comnodating commander, so long and favorably
known to most of our citizens, Capt. CARY.
The opinion at present prevails that the boat
will be ready to commence her regular trips up
on the earliest opening of navigation
1t lis expected that when loaded she will draw
only from fourteen to sixteen inches of water,
md that she will be enabled to perform her
rips without the hindrances usually incident to
he river boats during the stage of low water.
We bespeak for the Olive Branch long and
,minently successful career

HoUsE.-The Senate bill authorizing the con-
struction of a subterranean line of telegraph
from Mississippi or Missouri to the Pacific, was
then taken up. The bill proposes to give Hiram
o. Alden and James Eddy the right of way thro
the territories, and 100000 acres of land, they
to construct the line, work it, and keep it in Or
der at their own expense, and to have it CON-
plete in two years. The Government is to have
the right to transmit free 5000 words per month,
and to any extent at rates proposed by Con-
gress. Mr.. Faray, who reported the bill, show
ed the importance and necessity of such a line.
MIR. Lane, of Oregon, wished the bill laid a.
side; there were other matters of strictly ter
ritorial character which should be considered
first.
Mr.. Richardson offered substitute for the
bill, striking out the grant of 100000 acres
of land, reserving the right of way, and extend
ing the laws Of the U. States over the line for
its protection. Under the operation of the pre-
vious question the substitute was agreed to, and
the bill passed--yeas 10, nays 70.
