Douglas and his competitor for Senatorial

by a spirit and force becoming the high rep

the cause they have respectively espoused:
Of course the friends of both parties, as is
usual in such cases, claim the victory on each
occasion for their tayorite-but that Douglas
feels himself worsfed is clearly manifest from
the fact thathe habitually loses histemper, and
resorts TO personal abuse and the free use of
coarse epithets and vulgar slang phrases;
while both MI. Lincoln and Senator Trum-

TIE FRAZER RIVER GOLD E~kGITEMENf.
Emigration to the new gold diggins from
California had pretty much ceased at the
latest San Francisco dates, August 9th
Instead of eleven steamers running between
that port and Victoria, as the month previ-
Gus, the number had been redaced 3e tRo
and they carried no Eaiaers bound to Frazer
River. The water still kept up, and some
three thousand miners were waiting in Idle
ness at Fort Yale and vicinity for the foods
to abate. AT present few are able to reach
the mines, from which the accounts contin-
ue favorable, though quite contradictory. 1t
seems to be a fixed fact that valuable gold
mines exist in New Caledonia, but to get at
them is the most perplexing matter. Du-
ring high water the Frazer river is described
as a continuous torrent, and the river bank is
almost as forbidding as the river itself. For
so miles above Fort Yale, the stream runs
through a cannon, whose sides rise sleep
freua the waters edge 10 near the limit of
perpetual snow. These banks are again
edt by traverse gullies, with still sleeper
sides. The banks of snow in the mountains
keep the streams in full bank until late in
the season.
new and practicable route to the head
water of the Frazer River it is reported has
been discovered, over which men and sup
plies can be sent with toleraDle facility, as
soon as a trail can be opened. 1t is also stated
thai there are thousands of men at Victoria
and on Frazer River who would be glad to
feturn to California if they had the means.

A LINGERING DEATH.-On the 18th inst.
Il negro, named Simon, the slave of Mrs.
Barnett, of Enfaula, Ala, was engaged in
cleaning out a well, and had almost finished
his operations, when the curb, which was
an old otie and asach decayed, caved in,
completely covering him up. Assistance
was promptly obtained, and would have
probably been effectual, bat for o sudden
and rapid flow of water into the lower part
of the well, which soon occasioned his death
by drowning. While in this condition, con-
cealed from view, he cong ersed with those
who were vainly erdeaVoring to aid him,
until the rise of water choked his atteraace.
