Letter from warrenton, Va.

Correspondence Of the Alerandria Gazette.
WARRENroN, July l5.-For the present. /
have "withdrewn my distinguished presence"
from the good old town, and am now rusti-
eating in this pleasant village. find War
reuton to be great resort for strangers dur
ing the summer months, and can well imag-
inc how pleased the wsnderer and traveller
is, when his eye lights upon the scenery
which surrounds this place, and its own
beautiful situation. And a sQjourn will not
disappoint, or cause him to regret his having
found resting place. Without any interest
in the matter, except that which arises from
a wish to benefit others, | can safely invite
persons from crowded Cities and unhealthy
localities to come and see for themselves,
assuring them that the trip alone will abun-
dantly repay their trouble and expense
Nor is Warrenton sought for and frequented
ONLY for the beauties Of its surrounding
scenery, and its tine location. The inhabi-
tants Cf the town and surrounding country
are true Vrgin'ans-not Of such stuff as we
sometimes have palmed off upon US as gen.
une-but the old, true stock. Here We can
fiud pleasant companions. and honorable
gentlemen--snd the society generally all
that could be wished. The town looks thrip-
ing, is we'll built and increases 10 size. Il
has several handsome buildings--the Court
II use being the finest edifce for the pur-
pose, that have seen in Virginia. The Ho-
tels, are well kept, aud the landlords kind
and accommodating. About seven miles
from Warreuton, are situated the Fauquier
Springs, which compare f.vorably with any
other watering place in the State, of which
more hereafter. Yours, NlAIOR.

The English House Of Lords have, upon
motion by the Earl of Stanhope, voted an
address to the Queen, praying her Majesty
to reconsider the proclamation ordering the
solemn commemoration Of the deliverance OF
James l., the martyrdom Of Charles l., the
restoration of Charles H., and the landing OF
William Ill. There was scarcely any oppo-
sition to the proposal. The Archbishop OF
Canterb bury, with the Bishops of London and
Oxford, took the same view of the matter as
the peers temporal. Only the Bishops OF
Bangor and St. Asaph's murmured an osJee-
ton.

FRAzEE's RIVER is now the grand attrac-

FRAzEg's RIVER is now the grand attrac-
ton. Gold is there--and the rush is there.
The New York Herald says -" Our private
and public letters, and our California news
paper contemporaries, all tell the same gene
raj story. For example, in one of these
private letters lying before US, the writer, a
careful and oool-headed man, says:-"The
discovery Of gold on Frazer river, and its
effect on California, constitute an epoch IN
our history. The new mines threaten to
take of one.fourth OF our male population
The excitement is very great. Nothing Is
thought Of but tho new m les." The Union
saws, "the gold fields extend all through the
Cascade mountains of Washington Territory.
The simple fact that the line from Frazer's
river to Colville has been kept open through
the lndian difficulties of the past three years,
and the lines from the Sound to the interior,
by the Snouuaimoo and Nachess passes, have
been closed, explains why the first has been
prospected and its mineral wealth made
known, and why the latter hare not. 1t is
known, however, that the g I'D is universally
disseminated through the country, and that
there are rich deposites both east and west OF
the Cascades in Washington Territory
These mines undoubtedly extend by Clark's
fork and the Koutensy river to the Rocky
mountains. We are apprehensive of Difficult
ties in consequence of the course OF the Hud-
sons Bay Company. They have blockadsd
Frszer's river, will allow no mining in the
Britl.h possessions, except a license he taken
out, and tax paid Of five dollars per month
They will permit the introduction OF no sup
plies, tools, subsistence, clothing, except Ii
be purchased of the Hudson's Bay Company.
Our people have cut out trail from Bel
bingham Bay to the Ttompson's river mines.
The company propose TO occupy the point
where the trail crosses one of the spurs OF the
Cascades, to enforce their mining regulations
and prevent the introduction of American
merchandise. 1t is not known whether this
point is north or south of the boundary line.
The company has already seized and coutis-
Gated the goods of Samuel McCaw, Of Stella
COON. We invite the serious attention OF the
government to this matter, for 1t is not to be
doubted that, unless some arrangement can
be made at an early date, difficulties OF &C.
rious character will occur"

AN ALABAMA CONSTABLE AFTER EFT AL
An Alabama correspondent of the Mobile Ad-

his native State, writes to that paper as fol-
lows:

following:
A certain fat constable, in the county of
CIV, State of Alabama, once received a
writ from Justice of the Peace, known as
Josh Ne. The case was R--Us. D.
Ell al. The good constable, who was more
famed for his honesty than literary attain

keeping the writ for week, he entered the
Justices office with much al xiety depicted on
his countenance, and s'lured Squire Josh with
this exclamation: "Josh, who's the ct all I've

a week, aud cant'l find him. l don't believe
