A Robbers Cave-Discovery of Great
Wealth.

1t has been known to very few persons
in this city for some time that discovery
of great wealth has been made in the Gin
terror of Kentucky, on the line of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, by
poor family who formerly lived in this
city. The, disc overy was made by a
young man while plowing in the field
about six months since. As he Was plow-
ing leisurely along, the earth suddenly
gave way under his feet, and he was pre-
cipitsted into an immense cavern. Much
injured by the fall, the young man in cast
ing aboutfhim for some means wherewi,h
to get out, discovered numbers of iron
safes aud strong boxes, which, on investiga-
tion, were found to contain <gold and sill
YER coin, jewclry and other valuables to IA
fabulous amount. The plantation upon
which all this treasure was found does not
belong to the fortunate discoverers, who
only leased the property, and from mo-
tives of security they have kept the secret
of their good fortune to themselves. An
eminent legal gentleman of this city is
about interesting himself to secure the for
tunate family in the ownership of these
great treasures, thcircsult of whose labors,
in connection with other particulars we
will give in few days-LouisriNe Dcm-

OroyIIIe-Ruttc County.

A correspondent Of the Bulletin, signing
himself '.R," and which is, doubtless, an
abreviation for VIM. II Rhodes, Esq, gives
that sheet glaring description of the pro-
gress of Oroville, the riches of her mines,
and the future prospects of the County.
After describing the beautiful location OF
Oroville, and the wealth Of the adjacent
mines, he proceeds to speak of the improve
ments We have made in advancing the min
ing interest. and pays the following compll-
ment to Mr.. Hart, one Of our most success
full river operators, and who has extensive
contracts for fuming the river at various
points the coming summer.
6 But the great glory of Oroville, and the
Feather river, consists in the gigantic ditch
es and fumes now in operation, or under
contract The whole country is well water
ed on the south of the river, by the Feather
river and Opbir Ditch Company's ditch, ex-
tending twenty five miles, and of a capacity
to float q small, steamboat Indeed it is a
small canal. The chief fiuming operations
are under the superintendance of Mr.. Al
bert Hart, formerly of New York, and
gentleman of the soundest and most practi-
cal mind. He has never failed yet in his
undertakings, but for the pact three years
has succeeded in turning the river from its
charmed and laying bare its glittering trea-
sures. He has now under contract, four
claims, extending along the river for nearly
a mile and a half, and requiring the expen
diture of $3.50, 900 Think of the gigantic
nature of this work. In some places the
fiume has to be hung upon the frowning
sides Of the oyerhangiDg ellis, which have
to be blasted away to make room for the
wooden aqueducts. Talk of the labors Of
Hercules They were mere child's play
compared to these stupendous works. What
was the stranging of a Nemean Lion, or the
spearing of few hi : BuzzaIds or the clean
sing Of a royal stable, compared to that
NdHls0nian effort, which snatches a rapid
river up in the hollow of its hand, takes it
by force from the rocky cradle where it has
prattled and sung, and laughed aud scolded
from the dawn of creation until now, and
then lays it gently asleep upon the bosom
of its mother cliffs, where it sweeps on in
peaceful slumbers, to lose itself finally in
the fond embraces Of the Pacific Ocean
Yet such is the every day SPORT of this
unpretending California engineer. Well
may Butte county he proud of him, for she
owes as much to the boldness and success Of
his operations, as she does to that liberal
Nature that has scattered so many elements
Of prosperity am wealth all over her yellow

A HOPEFUL YOUNG ScoUNDREL.-A bay
paper says, without intending for one mo-
ment to cast reflection upon true religion,
but in order to show the hypocrisy which
sometimes DEVELOPS itself in the church we
would state that John Butts-the literary
young gentleman who appropriated to him
self, about Il week ago, some valuable works
belonging to a Mr.. Thompson-was on Sun
day last a very devout petitioner for mercy
on the anxious-seat of certain church in
this city. 1t would appear that he had re-
pented of the theft, but up to Wednesday
perty. Probably be considered repentance
sufficient, and that having repented, the
books became his property.

STAMP TAx.-We publish elsewhere the
provisions of the stamp tax bill as amended
by the Committee of Ways and Means
However much we may be opposed to this
system of taxation, the necessity of raising a
revenue equal to the necessities of an econo-
mical administration of State affairs. The
revenue raised by this bill will, it is believed,
fall upon those who are better able to bear
its burdens, than the laboring and produ
cino classes are to sustain increased taxa
ton The more revenue derived from law
yers, the better for the laboring interest,
aud the more derived from those who are
leaving TO settle elsewhere, the better for the
State. 1t is seldom that this mode Of taxa
ton is resorted to. and the Legislature in
maturing it, should give it the most careful
consideration.
