The Gold Hines,

Editor Little Rock True Democrat: Per-
nit me to place in your columns true ana
correct statement of the new gold mines on
the Red Fork of the Arkansas river.
Three others and myself started from Green
county, in Missouri, on the 18th day of
April, 1855 and reached the gold diggings
on the 4th of May. Our first business was
to find if the gold was there as had been rep
resented. On the first day after our arrival,
we came to a branch and found, on exami-
ming the bed, that it contained vast guam
tity Of the precious metal. We had brought
nothing with us but frying pans but even
with these on washing out the first pan full.
we obtained @3 Is worth Of the gold dust. We
stopped here several days, averaging from $50
to $3.50 per dav. We could have made more
than we did, but we had nothing TO dig with.
We then proceeded to spring, which is the
place where the gold is said to have been
first discovered. Here we found that the
water, boiling up out Of the ground, con-
tanned some small Jumps Of gold, and large
quantity of The dust.
| went out to California i'll 1919, at the
time the gold was found in the greatest
abundance, and this beats California long
ways. | have no doubt that if man had
the right kind of gold rocker, he could get
gold here as fast as he could count it. We
have been here about a month, and have
made some $4,000 each. There are about
three thousand people in the different mines,
and more coming in every day. There are
so many here that provisions are high beef
eight to ten cents per lb., flour S2O per bar
rel. Some have returned home Tor the pur-
pose of selling out and bringing their fami-
lies here. The soil is good. The greatest
difficulty is the want OF water. If it was
not for that, this would be a good farming
country. The valleys are tolerably exten-
sive, and good land.
This believe, is as correct a statement
as | can give about the mines, and have
been an eyewitness to the facts, and give
them that the people may get the straight OF
it. Yours, &c, JOHN HARRISON.
Red Fork, June |, 1883.

Foreign News,

New YORK, July l6.-Tbe news of Lord
Raglan's death was received from General
SimDson on the 3Otn ult Some days pre-
viouslv Lord Raglan had been suffering from
indisposi.ion, but until p. NJ. ON the 25th.
h;s disease progressed to the satisfaction Of.
his medical attendants. Afterw ards alar
noipg SYMPTOMS developed themselves at
tended with difficulty of breathing. which
gradually increased At clock P. NJ. he
was unconscious about that period he grad
ually sunk until 25 minutes before o'clock, :
at which time he died.
It is stated that Major General Simpson
has succeeded Lord Raglan, pro tenn.
Admiral Seymour, who was wounded on
board ship Plymouth by the bursting of an
internal machine, is still suffering and little
hope was entertained OF saving his eye-sI9nt.
Detailed accounts of the attack on the
Malakof and Redan towers, made by the
Allies on the 18th ultimo, have been recelv-
ed, and have been published IN ertcnso III
the London journals.
Various correspondents attribute the re-
pulse and great loss which the French and
English sustained to want of proper man
agement, and to total absence of that mill
tary knowledge and judgment so requisite
in such hazardous and difficult undertakings.
Journal de ST. Pc ersburg publishes cor
respondence respecting the outrage OF Han
go, which Russia denies, on the ground that
the flag of truce was not up. Russia accu-
ses England of making improper uses of
flags of truce.
The extraordinary session of the French
legislature was opened on the ID instant by
the Emperor In his speech he said the
conference lately held in Vienna having fail
ed to secure return of peace, he came be-
fore them to make new appeal to their pat
riotism, and justified the conduct of the al
lies in the conferences, and demonstrated
their moderation He relied on the legisla-
ture to give him means to continue the war.
He had formally resolved to place himself in
the midst of the army, but serious questions
abroad and important questions at home
had forced him to abandon his intentions
No extraordinary levy would be necessary
but let all, putting their confidence in God
persevere, and they would arrive at peace

The Paris correspondent of the Londor

In both houses of parliament on the eve

recommending the house to provide SOM

A TERRIBLE FALL AT SEA.--On board the
ship Metropolitan, when nine days out from
this port, on her late passage to California,
Louis Chevalier, Frenchman, was sent
aloft to loose the main skysail, which is the
loftiest sail on board. He had just reached
his giddy destination, when missing his hold
of the bunt gasket, he fell headlong, and
striking the crosstrees, some forty feet be-
low, he rebounded and fell with a sickening
crash upon one of the ships boats, which
was turned bottom up at the time on deck.
He turned in the air in his feaful decent, so
that one of his legs went entirely through
the boat. When taken up it was broken,
the corpse presenting mass of bruised flesh
and shattered bones and sinews horrible to
contemplate. His fall was about one hun
dred and ninety feet, and instant death en-

In 1921, the residents of Washington City
were subjected to the disease to an unusual
and alarming degree. The French Minister,

CoLoRED d. DIS. s.-According to an Off
Ger of the Southern Baptist Board, there
are hosts of colored d. DIS III the Colored
Baptist Churches in Savannah. Speaking
of the colored preaching he says: g They
are all doctors, whether NJ. DIS or D. d.
we could not learn, but presume that the
latter is meant They speak of each other
as DR.. Cox, DR.. Marshall, or DR.. Frasher J;
just as white folks say DR.. Jeter, DR.. How
ELL DR.. Fuller, or DR.. Talbird. And what
is better still they have somehow conceived
the notion that every preacher is, er-ofcio,
a doctor-for when we had closed the ser
vices in the pulpit of our worthy colored
DR.. Cox, he rose and made the very respect
full announcement, that Rev. DR.. Walker
would preach in Rev. DR.. MarShalPs Church
in the evening. We did not learn at what
particular College or University these honors
were obtained, but we question much if they
were ever more worthily bestowed, or worn
with greater humility and dignity"

Pork AND WHIsKEY.-In allusion to the
common plea that distilleries afford a mar
ket for corn and keep up the price, the Ohio
Cultivator says:
Ohio pork would command 80 or 50 more
per barrel in some Of the Eastern markets,
if purchasers could be assured that none of
it was still fed and that generally, the far
mers of Ohio lose at least 81 per barrel on
all the pork sold, from this cause, amount
ing to at least half million of dollars for
the State. Also, that the value Of lands
would be greatly enhanced in our neighbor-
hoods if these nuisances could be removed J;
and that such is their influence on the com
munty around them that intelligent persons
avoid purchasing farms in their vicinity.
1t is likewise stated that there are many
townships in Ohio, where the lands are de-
preciated fully 25 per cent. from this cause.
