The NORTHERN MNEs.-A correspondent OF
the San Joaquin Republican. writing from Port
land, under date of June 9th, says;
These gold mines. which have all at once
caused so great furore, are no new thing; the
existence of gold in this region has been known
for several years, by the people Of Oregon
The Colgille mines-of which these new dig
gings are but the western boundary-have
long been known to be rich, but the people Of
this Territory being but little affected by the
California gold fever, have been but little af-
fected by the Colville or Frazer river fever,
BY taking the Dalles route you get behind
the Coast Range and the Cascade mountains,
and have an open country all the way to the
mines through american sail, and what is more,
there is gold all along the route; and | believe
there is just as good diggings in Washington
Territory as there is in the British Possessions;
the face of the country gives every indication
Of the fact. These mines are nothing more
than continuation of the veins that run
through Mexico, California and Oregon, and
may say on around the Pole or Arctic sea, to
the Ural mountains in Siberia, Russian Asia,
where gold has been known to exist for centu-
ries. This is truly golden age, and "gold is
king"

UHDExocRATIc DEMocRACY.-The following
extract from speech made by Mr.. Clay, one
of the Senators from Alabama, is about as un'
democratic as anything, excepting Mr.. Ham
mond's mud-sill doctrine. that ever came from
the mouth of a prefessed Democrat. Mr.. Clay
said:
Establish as a principle. that to give sane

curity and surrender those rights to the mos
caprieious, rapaciOus and cruel Of tyrants.

"THE VERY LATEST PROM FRAZER RIvgR."-
Some hours after the arrival of the steamer
Commodore Monday night well known indi-
vidual of the genus "bummer" disguised himself
as a returned Frazer river-an, and waited up
on the editor of one of the morning papers, to
relate his personal experience in the new dig
gngs. Having been an attentive reader Of the
newspapers he was able to give very plansi=
BILE account of matters and things, not forget
ting to employ few opare terms Of expression
to give a eooFing of simplicity to the narrative.
The story duly appeared in print and was
doubtless credited by portion of the several
hundred readers of the Journal referred to. The
joke was too good to be kept secret however,
1t would leak out, and before night the whole
town knew Of it, though disclosed in the strict
est confidence to few friends of the author on
ly. We understand that the editor is somewhat
annoyed by the inquiry "Have you seen Wig

POSSESSIONS OF THE HUDsOY's BAY CO.-The
territory of this continent over which the Hud-
sons Bay Company exercise control contains
an area Of two million five hundred thousand
square miles. How much is that? 1t is fifteen
and half times larger than the great State OF
California; about thirty eight times as large as
as the whole of the thirty-one States of this pn-
ion, and if we omit the territory of Nebraska,
is as large as all our States and Territories
combined! About one fifth of that extent, or
more than three times the size of California, is
said to be fit for agricultural or grazing puF'
poses.

Col. BcntOn's OpInion of the Authorship OF
ssJunfus,"

Col. BcntOn's OpiniOn OF the Authorship of
''Junius."
In the forthcoming volume Of Col. Benton' E
"Abridgement," there is the following note to
a speech Of Mr.. Randolph, in which Mr.. Ran
dolph spoke of a repetition by 'Junius' of a re-
mark Of Lord Chatham. If the puzzle is not
yet solved of the authorship of "Junius," this
terse aud vigorous summing up of the theories
is unmistakably characteristic Of the Thirty
Years Senator" and not unworthy of either the
real or here supposed author of the celebrated
letters

Col. Benton) was ten years old, which was in

SILAs WRIGHT's WEALTH 1.-The Daily Wis
consin, edited by Cramer, formerly of Albany,
speaking Of the wealth of the most eminent
American statesmen, concludes his list with the
following reference to Silas Wright:
Slas Wright, with his estate of $4,000, was
really weallher than many others who are
worth $780, 900. He owed no man any thing;
he met his obligations with the utmost prompt
ness, and never INDUCED in any luxury that
he could not pay for lie was model OF re-
publican simplicity.
There was something glorious in witnessing
a great statesman like Silas Wright, never ask
ing pecuniary favOr-or even accepting one;
vet possessing only an income that could sup
port him and his wife in frugality. When he
was elected Governor of the great State of New
York, he was known to be too poor to furnish
his house His rich friends got together, and
without his knowledge, made up subscription,
which was rendered to him as gift, in order
TO fa, nish his mansion. This he respectfully
but kindly declined, saying, with true Roman
grandeur, that he could not consent to receive
such favor from any one-eyen from bis most
esteemed friends-be was elected by the people
! to be Governor of the State of New York, and
/ he considered it his imperative duty to live on
whatever income the people had appended to
that Office, and he did live on that income while
| he was Governor, in good style, but with no
ostentatiOn. Such an example on the part Of
so eminent man as he was, is one Of those
precious legacies that the young men Of the
present day should bear in mind-as no true
greatness can ever be achieved 80 long as they
are the pecuniary slaves Of even their nearest
| friends When public man receives favors
that he cannot repay, he loses that sturdy inde-
pendence so essential to usefulness and cndur-
ring popularity. "Live within your income"
is more important to ono who aims to be an
influential and useful statesman than any other
maxim

The FIFTY MILE RAcE.-This great al
fair, which was to have come off at De-
trOit on Wednesday. did not come off as
put down in the bills. 1t seems that the
track was very heavy. and the owner of
the Buffalo horse. despairing Of the abili
ty Of the animal to perform the task, paid
forfeit. There was an immense crowd
present, and the owner of the Detroit
horse urged vehemently that the race
should come of. At last, Buffalo, who
relied on speed, proposed race of TWEEN
tY miles, and Detroit. who relied on bot
tom. refused. but. after words, consented.
he race was run, therefore, for twenty
miles-the Detroit horse winning. On
the last mile. the Buffalo horse fell from
exhaustion. and no effort with the whip
could induce him to proceed faster than
a walk.
The first FIVE miles was run in 1884:
the first ten in 3O:25; fifteen in 1925; and
the entire twenty miles in hour, 6 min.
utes and SO seconds. The Free Press
says:
The Belden (Detroit) horse came in
apparently quite fresh and unscathed by
the trial. When the state of the track is
taken into consideration-it having been
flooded by several weeks of rain-the
time made is extraordinary.
