4" SPIRTTUALIsNn IN THE SENATE.-Hon. n.
p. Tallmage, formerly Senator from New York,
les of 'spiritualism, declares that n number
of the present Senator'S of the United States
are believers in the doctrine, and predicts that
the elections OF 1850 will be greatly infuen-
ced, if not controlled, by it.
If ,rhisky be the Kind of spirits upon which
the remark Of the ex-senator about the next
Presidential election is based, we think it
more than probable that he is right.--SHaa-

from Fort Yale, Frazer River, to Sept "a.
The San Francisco Bulletin gives the follow
ing summary OF the news
The news from the mining region is con.
sidcrcd uniavorable and has had a very de-
pressing effect upon Victoria, and tho many
projected great cities. Whatcom has incon-
unenuy dried up and most of the other
places on the main land have followed its
example. The waters of the Fraser have at
last fallen and all those having claims are at
work. From the best evidence at our COM
mand, we are led TO believe that such are do
ing remarkably welt. But those possessing
claims are very small portion of the miners
The greater number are without claims, and
all the rich ground yet discovered being TAX
en- up, they have become lisgusted and are in
fact returning TO California roundly abusing
the northern country and their ill.luck. The
number ofsuch have produced a panic at
Victoria and the other places dependent upon
the new mines.
Whether there are any extensive gold
fields at the head of Fraser or Thompson
rivers, is not yet settled. Sufficient time has
not been allowed for prospeciin& in that
distant and hardly accessible region. IT WI

HIGHWAY RnpRERf- +Nf1 ATTEMPT 10 MUIR
DER-A most daring highway robbery and
attempt TO murder, was perpctrated on the
pine Plains" about three miles south of
this village on Wednesday night. between
the hours of eleven and twelve. Consider
able excitement prev ailS, and strenuous efforts
ARE being made to discover the wretches, but
as yet no clue has been obtained which may
lead TO their arrest The circumstances, as
far MS we have been able to learn, are these:
DIR. Samuel Fitzgerald, practising physician
OF Clntonville IN this country, had occasion
10 visit this place ON Wednesday, but being
detained until a,late hour, concluded to start
then, so that he might be here early Thurs
day morning just as he entered the "plains,"
which extend about -four miles, with only
one or two houses, he overlook a man on
foot who requested n ride as far rs Platts-
burgh. The doctor took him in, but had not
proceeded but a short distance when they
met man who appeared to be very much in
toNicated this man enquired Of the Doctor
whether he had seen a buggy wagon and
black horse on the road and as he turned 10
reply TO him, the one in the wagon struck
him blow on the head which knocked him
out of the wagon. The doctor, who is q mus
eular man, succeeded in knocking one of the
rufiaps down twice but was finally over
powered by them both. They then demand
ed his money, and he told them he had none
Tor them, az which they became much enraged
and swore they would kill him. This is the
last the doctor remembers until about four
O'Clock the next morning, when he came 10
himself, and found he had been dragged
about twenty rods in the woods and covered
with brush, where the ruffiaus had left him,
supposing him 20 he dead. He succeeded in
getting into his wagon which was near him,
and driving to this village a physician was
called, when it was found he had received A.
stab through the right arm. and another in
the breast. which latter, fortunately, struck
upon the breast bone aud glanced oil If the
wound had been an inch lower il would have
killed him. His head and face are terribly
bruised and cut up, as though he had been
struck with club or slung shot ibis wounds
however, are not considered very dangerous.
The Doctor had with him S51I of Govern
ment money, he being in some manner con-
neeied with the Post Office department. This,
together with his gold watch, chain, &C., the
williams succeeded in obtaining There is nos
doubt but the ruffians supposed him Io be-
