The Walker river excitement, on the contra

probably about seyenty-fve or eighty miles in
nearly dae easterly direction from Amador
county, and may be reached on nearly d.
rect line. We have not doubt but that
they are as good as the Frazer river diggings.

Mr.. George Archer, miner at " The Gate"
near jackson, buried in his cabin $742.-
When he came to search for it he could not
find it, and suspected one of his neighbors of
stealing it, In fact he was suspected so
strongly that he came near being lynched to
force him to give up the booty Ever since
then suspicion has rested on the same indi-
vidual The cabin has since been occupied
by several different parties and finally burn
down. On Wednesday of this week the
owner of the missing money determined to
dig over the ground again where his cabin
had stood, and 10 he found his dust all safe

thar the legislature shall pass an act de-

after the fourth of July shall be free at

that this act of prospective emancipation
would tend to increase emigration into the
state, aud on the very day of its passage
would add five millions of dollars to the
value Of its real estate. As showing how

that land was cheap in Delaware state
settled By their fathers-they concluded
to settle here; but, finding, on their arri-

passed Us by, settled in Ohio, and helped
to augment the wealth Of tlat young gi-

IMPORTANT DECISIoE.-An important
case, involving the right of father to
dispose of his children by will, although
their mother may be alive, has just been
decided at Pittsbmg.
Geo, S, Hamilton died at Pittsburg
last December, leaving a widow and three
children, the latter aged respectively g.,
II and Is years. AS the husband was
Protestant and the mother Catholic, the
former, in his will, appointed guardians
for the children, directing them to be
brought up as Protestants. They were;
accordingly, taken from the mother and
placed in Protestant school. The moth
er applied for writ of habeas corpus to
recoyerthe custody of them, but was denied
it by the Court, which decided that the
father had the right to dispose of his chill

5000 for Fremont, and were beaten more
than 10000 by Buchanan. Mr. Buchan-
an had about Six Thousand majority in
Philadelphia over Fremont and Fillmore's
vote united. That Buchanan vote was
in good part fraudulent, but last year the
Election was as fair as usual, and then
the Buchanan vote exceeded that of all
others by over Thirty-seven Hundred.
Now, on great poll, after most animat-
