possess more attractions than the magnif-

Towards the south Of the village, in q

Indians, burily making baskets and other

usurped and taken from them their homes and

Reeder's RemoraL-The New York Eve
ming Post Is advised that during Governor
Feeders late visit 10 the East, aud since all
the facts IN relation to the purchase Of land,
were fully known in Washington, the Presi-
dent offered to appoint him Commissioner to
China. The Post SAYS
The Governor declined the honor, pre-
ierung to fight out the battle in wh.ch he
had engaged, for the people Of Kansas, to
what, under the circumstances, might be
construed into an ignoninlCus flight
II is not likely, II the President had scru-
pies about Reeder's moral fitness for tho
Governorship Of Kansas, that nc would have
proposed 10 him much higher dignity, with
better pay, as an lnducemcut to resign. No!
Gov. keeder was removed TO conclhate the
slavery propagandlsts and strengthen the
Administration party IN North Carolina and
tennessee, at the elections just closed. II
was stroke OF the same dignifed policy
which dictated the crushing out letter of
Mr. Cushing, pending an election in Louisi-
ana or Mississippi some two years ago"
The Chicago Press says that the President,
employed personal friend Of the Governor
to recommend him to resign. Reeder made
the following significant reply:
" II President Pierce thinks resignation a
sovereign remedy for embgrdssmenis, It Is .
bout time he was trying II himself"

The Whife Rirer Wh;g Convention was,
as every body expected it would be. yeiy
small Convention and very great fzzle.-
One of the Conductors of the Central Rail-
road, who was asked whether there was
Wing Convention at the time and place set.
Replied guess not as there tcfrc no good
looking men aboia." 1t seems, however that
there ,sas a" Convention fire men present
and that the following tickle, was nomina-
ted: for Governor, John Wheeler Of bur
lington; for Lieutenant Governor, Isaac f.
Wright Of Casteton; for Treasurer, G George
w. Prlchard Of Bradford. The proceedings
are published in the Boston Courier-a
Frank Pierce Wing organ in 1852. The
nominees will probably resent the use OF
their names. and that bran new Hhig organ,
the Vermont Palrio,,will perhaps feel slight
ed by the favoritisnl to the Boston Courier
After the attempt of the Patriot clique tc
get men to attend this Convention, this va,
certainly very unkind cut.

whaling barque Maria, Of New Bedford,

mia, in lat. 10 As s., lon. l6I As f., not laid
down on the charts. She went on at 2 A.
NJ. The captain, with the mate, doctor and
four seaman left her in a boat, and saw moth.
ing of her after, and thinks she went to
pieces. She had on board $50 coolies from
China, and a crew of fifty men, and all must
have pershed, with the exception of the
seven in the boat Mr.. " Bottom" the mate
was killed by the natives on the Island of
New Britton in July. He belonged to Fair
haven, aud had wife and family there; he
had been absent from home some time
Capt. Penney was on board of the Maria be-
tween three and four months, when he was
put on board the barque Rio Grande, of San
Francisco, bound TO Melbourne, from there
he would proceed to Callao to see bis own

the only Americans that belonged to the
wrecked ship.

County Convention.

We copy from the Freemgn the ret&t o
proceedings, and have but little to add. Tn,
Convention was not large, yet nearly all oil
the towns we're represented. On the nom-
ination of the ticket, with the exception OF
Sheriff, the Convention was unanimous. Mr.
VIM. S. Smith was very much in favor OF
independence, and was DESTROYS Of showing
it by dropping Mr.. Wood he argued the
point, too, and thus showed his independ>
ence; but the Convention evidently deemed
it unwise 10 make any break in the ticket
which was approved last year by majority
of the people of the County, and therefore
nominated Mr.. Wood for reelection. The
resolutions reported by the Committee were
unanimously adopted. 1t will be observed
that they declare for Union of the People,
irrespective OF all party distinctions, TO re-
sist the aggressions Of the Slavocrats for
giving efficient aid in the great Republican
movement, which is to control the next
Presidential election and restore the FEEDER
nj Government to its original purity. The
other resolution, as originally introduced,
elected frank and spirited declaration of
sentiments on the part of Messrs. Abbott,
Bickford, Bailey, Carpenter, Green, Merrill,
Walton, George and others, which resulted
IN hearty agreement upon the substitute
Now that there is another movement on foot
"a Slavo-Dcmocrat movement in dis. uise,
originating from the Patriot oliice--we re-
mark that this movement Of the Patriot ig-
nores The Slavery question, on which the
great Presidential contest next year is to
turn. 1t attempts 10 make up new issue,
which at the most can possibly be only local
and temporary, and the only effect of which
will be, il in any degree successful, TO dis
tract the friends of Freedom, and aid the
supporters Of the present Slavocratic Ad-
ministration. To all those who design Ia
be found on the right side at the Presiden.
tial election in le56--al who mean 10 ar
ray themselves against the present admins
tratIon and the whole crew of dough faces

a false position in 1855. The Patriot cliqu.

that some one had taken netes of our Dig

The bed of the river here has, IN almost
every place where it has been properly
worked paid very rich; and know of no
part of the Tuba River, where labor has
been better rewarded than on the Range
We may not, perhaps, have had so many
exceedingly rich deposits, but will ven
ture to say, that as many men have gone
home with the price of a good farm in
their pockets from this place, as from any
other mining locality in the county.
The WoodvilIe fame has paid exceed
ingly ricn this year, and what is better
continues to yield the soro" still. The
bar which once was considered worthless.
has proved to be one of the richest on the
river, and claims on it are held very high.
