GOLD IN Observation-Disclosures advicss from
tho Kansas gold region, Pike. Peak, leave no
doubt of the reality of the gold discoveries.
There were collected in the diggings about
fifteen hundred persons, principally Aneri-
cans, but embracing number of Mexcans
and few Indians. Yankee enterprise has
already begun to manifest itself in the founding
of two towns-one, st. Charles, situated at the
mouth of Cherry creek, and the other Motano,
about eight miles above the former. Buildings
are going up rapidly; provisions, though not
superintendent, are sufficient to supply the inn
mediate wants of the miners; and no very
great suffering for want of food or protection
during the ensuing winter, is apprehended.
A special train had been dispatched to New
Mexico for provisions. Gold has been found
north and west far into the heart of the noun
tains, but the diggings now worked are a short
distance above the mouth of Cherry creek.

EXTENSION OF TELEGRAPH LINRs.-The Gin
cipnati Gazette has the following notice
" The Independent Telegraph Line Office,
No. Burnet House, connecting at Baltimore
with the best and wealhiest lines III the couu-
try, for Washington, Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, &c, is now in full and successful opera
ton and we are able, from experience, To say
that the management, as regards promptness,
courtesy, and reliability, is all that could be de-
sired. Besides, the line is independent of the
telegraph monopoly controlled by the Union
Company, and for this reason, If no other exist
ed, it should be literally patronzed by mercau-
tile classes, who are deeply interested in having
a healthy competition sustained in the telegraph
business"

THE WAR IN OREGoY.-The Oregon Weekly
Times of a recent date says:
awe heard on every hand rumors that the
northern war is closed for the present at any
rate that some at least of the hostile Indians
have come in and sued for peace; that several
of the leading spirits have been hung and other
wise summarily disposed of; and that hostages
have been taken for the future good behaviour
of the Indians. These rumors contain the
further information that the surrender was
wholly unconditional. and that Kamiakin has
fled beyond the mountains. We give them for
what they are worth. To US, at least, it seems
as if the war had vanished in mist. We can
learn nothing satisfactory as to it's termination
we are at a loss to know what to say of the af-
fair, and we are at still greater loss to deter
mine whether the Indians have been whipped
at all or not. We are now gravely assured that
the report of Col. Steptoe, estimating the hostile
Indians engaged in the attack upon his com
mand at fifteen hundred, is INDUSTRIOUS exag-
geration, and that in fact but about three hun
dred Indians, all told, were engaged in that
conflict. The official reports throughout the
campaign show an Indian loss of far less than
fifty men and, if these reports are to be dis
counted for exaggeration at the rate three hun
dred, in lieu of fifteen hundred, then we have
hut barren showing in our favor. The killed
have been white men, and not the red devils,
and it is not all certain that two or more of our
army officers who have fallen were not shot by
their own men. The conduct of Col. Steptoe in
that engagement is to be investigated, and orders
have been issued requiring the presence of
some of the army officers at Washington for
that object"

lier Bonelli, the well-known electrician and di-
rector Of telegraphs at Turin, is at present en-
gagged in vast project for connecting Genoa
with Buenos Ayres by means of an electric ca
BILE. This plan possesses an advantage over the
Atlantic cable between Valenta and Newfound-
land, as IT is Invisible into various sections not
exceeding 900 miles, while the Valentia cable
measures 1000. This undertaking might be
completed in the course of four years. In the
first year the line would be established between
Genoa and Gibraltar; in the second, between
Gibraltar and the Cape de Verde Islands in
the third, from the latter TO Bahia; and in the
fourth, from Bahia to BuenOs Ayres

A HARD Casa Fathers Punishment Of
Daughter.-A wellknown citizen of Boston
died recently, leaving property valued at from
$45O,0OO to 10000, his disposition of which is
thus narrated by the Ledger, of that city:
Some few years since, one of his daughters
saw fit to marry gentleman of high moral
character, although poor in this worlds goods,
belonging to the marine corps of the United
States. The father opposed the marriage, and
has ever since refused to recognise his daugh-
ter, or to do anything for her. She has lived in
a very humble way in Newport with her family,
consisting of her husband and four children.
Learning that her father was very i'll at the
fremont House, and knowing that her mother
and only sister were abroad, she came to Bos-
ton, and, though mutual friend, solicited the
privilege and pleasure of ministering to his
comfort, and be with him in his last moments.
Her appeal was repulsed with scorn, and she

MOUNT VERSoN.-We see by the report thus
far made, concerning the purchase, that two
hundred acres containing the home, tomb &c,
are sold to the Association, and that $4,000
were paid at the signing of the contract. The
first instalment of S57 900, due in January, Is
ready for payment Here, then, is $4,000 Of
the purchase fund already raised. The remain
ing sum of $685. 600 is still to come, and the
public spirit of the nation should supply ii by
