Cheering News from the Mines--MOre Gold
and Rich Diggings.

and h1ch DlgglnSss
The Kansas City Journal Of Commerce of the 29th
ult says:
Mr. John Horton arrived in this city yesterday,
having left Fort Laramie on the Sd inst He brings
most important and interesting news from the gold
mines Of the Arkansas, Pixies Peak, and Cherry
Creek
All the Indian traders about the fort, and in the
vicinity Of Deer Creek, we're removing their goods
10 the mines. He saw at the Fort Mr.. Jackson,
who had several hundred dollars worth Of the dust.
The greatest excitement existed at Fort Laramie.
The mines we're poorly provided with breadstufs
not having over two months supply on hand. They
we're also entirely destitute Of mining tools. Picks
and shoves were worth their weight in gOld-in fact
they could not be had at any price.
There was not rocker in the mines, and no sheet
iron with which to make riddles.
Mr. BeDjsmin Clemmore is now coming in and
will be here in eight ten days, bringing some five
hundred dollars Of the gold, which he obtained In
about two weeks without any tools.
There are now about go men in the Mines most
Of whom are engaged in prospecting Cherry creek
and in the vicinity of the Medicine Bow. Seven
men worked two weeks and made $500, with nothing
but pans. These are, in Short the particulars fur
nished US by Mr. Horton, who is q man well known
TO every business man in the city This is certainly
the most gratifying intelligence that we have pub
shed for several weeks and it is the more cheering
inasmuch as It comes from man we all knew and
upon whose word We can rely.

Nothing seems more perilous than an aerial
voyage, miles above the earth; and yet, judging by
results. the danger is not imminent Mr. Graham,
the English aeronaut has made thousand balloon
sscepsions, and sill lives-nOt having suffered in
the least. Mr. Green, of London, has made fifteen
hundred mrial voyages, and had only one dangerous
descent, when he lighted on the roof Of a house.
The most remarkable balloon voyage, perhaps,
wss that made in 1886, by four men-Alessrs.
Monk, Mason, Green, and Holland. They started
from London early in the afternoon, in The month
of November crossed the Channel, and landed in
the Duchy of Nassau, five hundred miles from Lon
don. The late ascension in ulneis wherein two
children we're accidentally taken up two or three
miles. and carried off, landed safely at last,
the most singular event in the history Of balloon
ascensons that these youthful voyagers should have
made safe descent after remaining thirteen hours
in the air, was almost miracle.
These sscensions have now become commoni and
we are told that genius in France has invented a
plan of guiding an erial ship, and proPelliDg it by
steam. and hopes to cross the A1antic-an exploit
that will if performed, throw the silent cable
in the shade After the extraordinary achieve
mepts of science and art, in day. the public will
hardly be inoredulous to any promised Perior-
nance; and if men should navigate the air with as
much safety as they have navigated the ocean, it
will not stsrtle the world much.
The first ascent in balloon was made by NJ. Pc
lstre de ROzier. He lost his life at last, in the at
tempt to cross from England to France. The by
drogen in his balloon took FIRE.
Alats ascent made from Adrian, Michigan, is now
matter Of much interest, a. it is surmised that
Mr.. ThurstOn, the arinOut, il lost. He assembled
first with q Mr.. Bannister two miles and a half
They descended about seventeen miles from Adrain,
where Mr. B. got out; MIR. ThurstOn re assembled
He got on the top made 8 seat Of the wooden valve
disk, and made his ascent in that manner, as he
had done before. He was watched with intense in
tersst and was seen sitting apparently his ease at
q great height. The balloon was found on The Can
ada side five days after; but Mr. ThurstOn has not
vet appeared. How he met his fate, if be be not
alive is not known. Instances of fatal results as
We observed, however, rare; and this one is the
consequence Of reoklessness and cannot be ascrbed
to the real dangers of balloon ascensiOns.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The New Policy in Central American AT.
1.-The Annexation OF the Society Islands,
sc,
WASHINGTON, Oct. l, 1s5s.-The important por7
tions Of General Cass despatsh to our Minister Gen.
Lamar in Nicaragua, published in the Herald to day,
are recognized here as authentic. The administra-
ton has taken the most decisive policy with regard
to the miserable governments of Central America
Not only will reclamation be enforced for injuries to
our citizens and fudment of existing contracts be
insisted upon with respect to the transit routes, but
the Monroe doctrine Of nOnSinterference in affairs
of this Continent by European Powers will be main
tanned, let what may happen.
It is thought now that Sir William Gore Ouseley
may possibly consider it prudent to grace Washing
ton society with his presence again the coming win
ter, or return home.
The State Department received to day dispatches
from our Consul al the Society Islands with regard
to the offer Of the Islands to the United States and
concerning the conduct Of the British and French
officials out there. The contents Of these despatch
es have nOtyet been considered.
Col FOrney's base publication has disguised even
his best friends in Washington.
rumOF prevails that the troops are TO be removed
from Fort MeHenry, in consequences Of alleged in
fictitious disease in that neighbOrheod. There is
reason however, to believe that the report is prema
ture. The regulations of the army authorize the
removal Of troops from sickly healthy locations,
and this would doubtless be done by the command
ing officer of the post there sufficient grounds
for the exercise of this discretionary power.
Il has been decide at the Post Office Department
that letters received from United States vessels can
not be considered ship letters under the provisions
of the act of March g. 1926 which apply only TO
letters or packets carried 'in any private ship or
vessel" Such letters therefore, are chargesble
" with drop letter postage, if intended for The de
livery at the offices in which they are deposited and
with the ordinary rates if forwarded to other Offices,
and in neither case is any compensation TO be al
lowed to the person from whom they are received
In addition 10 the measures taken some months
ago to introduce the plant into the United States
from China inquiries have been made by the Patent
Office, through Mr. Meade, our Minister to Brazil,
for obtaining seed from that country wi ere il
has been successfully cultivated for thirty years
Measures are about being taken, through the Ma
val Expedition to Paraguay, to introduce into the
United States the mate or Paraguay tea; also val
liable medicinal plant, called ndTd, believed to be
sure specific against the bites OF venomous insects
or reptiles; and peculiar kind Of honey bee, which
builds on the branches Of trees, instead Of in hives
or trunks of Trees as with the common bee.-NEl0

TIE ATLANTIC TELBGRAPH-The New York pa
pers state that the electricians engaged the At
lantic Telegraph appear unanimous in the opinion
that the insulation of the cable has become injured
by being suspended upon some projecting point of
steep bank, and thus gradually injured by its own
weight. The soundings taken a few hundred miles
from the Irish coast show that bank steep range
exists, the highest and lowest points of which
eight miles apart showing difference in elevation
of 1900 feet. But no one can form an idea Of the
nature of the ground in this Intervening space Of
eight miles-whether the sides of the submarine
mountain be broken by ravines or preoipitOus lifts,
or whether it be gentle slope. This spot, which
is about 500 miles from the Valena end of the eaN
Die, is supposed to be the one where the insulation
of the cable has been injured.
1t thus appears that the plan of great Atlantic
Telegraph is still a mere experiment.

There is a great diversity of opinion as to which
State in the Union is most burdened with taxation.
From the following table comprising eighteen of

only 81 cents for each individual annually-Fhile

cape of Passengers,
The mail train on the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad due here at O'Clock p. N did not arrive
till 10 o'clock last night owing TO al accident which
occurred to it, seven miles beyond Huntsville, by
which the train was thrown from the track and Inc
baggage car overturned. The locomotive escaped
uninjuFed by being detached at the moment the &C
cident occurred There were nearly two hundred
passengers on the train at the time the accident &C.

The Express Messenger, to whom we are indebted

cause Of the accident is not known The engineer
thinks that il was owing 10 al obstruction placed
upon the track but, from what gather from other
sources we think likely it was caused by the
tracks giving way under the baggage car, or TO the
'sspreading" Of the track. The accident occurred
at two O'Clock yesterday morning, while the train
was running at its usual speed. II is really won

LAND WARRARr FRAUDs.-The Rochester Union
of the 25tb ult, gives an account of preliminary
examination of parties charged with being con-
oerned in the Bounty Land Warrant frauds, which
took place before U S Commissioner COnkling, on
the previous day. The Union says that the party
charged With being the principal in the commission
of the crime, Mr.. AlbrO, was fully committed to
answer charges that will cOnsign him to prison for
life.
Justices Wilcox and Vail we're held to answer at
the next term of the United States Court, in the
sum Of 81 900 each. The subscribing witnesses we're
all held in the sum of $500 each. Mr.. Vail, and
the witnesses from Branch2Ort or Jerusalem. were
defended by Messrs COgsWell and Parker, of RO-
chester, who labOred hard to have them discharged
altogether 1t is hardly probable that the Witnesses
will be indicted. The Union adds that this exam
natiOn has made it apparent that the United States
have been largely dsfrauded under the Bounty Land
Act and may be still if some additional preeaution
is not taken. Congress should SO amend the law
that the papers to secure bounty lands can only be
certified by Judge of the Supreme Court or United
States Commissioner, common County Justices are
not always sharp enough to detect frauds.
