Flattering Reports from the Gold
DiggihgS.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3--The overland mail
last night brought passengers, among
them Mr.. McKibben and Lieut.. Mowry,
from Arizona. Mr.. Mowry left Gala
City, November 4th, at which time some
hundred and fifty men were digging gold,
with an average yield of ten dollars per
day, with the rudest sort Of implimerts.-
In every part of the country prospected
recently, the mines have proved auriferous
aud an opinion is current among old mi
ners that no richer surface of diggngs ex-
ist, even in the most favored portions of
California. The mines are located on
neutral ground, between the Yuma and
Pimos Indians, thus no danger is appre-
hended from hostile tribes.
A political meeting was held at Gala
City on November 4th, and resolutions
were passed endorsing the action of the
Convention at Mesiiia and Tuscan, and
asking Congress for territorial organiza.
ton.
The Sonora Silver Mining Company
are smelling 1000 ozs. per week. Sew.
eral other mines are actively at work.
Lieut.. Mowry b'ings several rich speci
mems from the silver mines, also, about
$500 in gold from the Gala River diggins
Lieut.. Mowry computes the population O.
the territory at 200, and gives glowing
descriptions of the agricultural and grazing
resources of the country.

The PosT has been in the hands of its pres

liberalty with which it has been sustained
is the best possible evidence of its merit.

The wire pullers of the OPPOSITION

seems to be directed to the defeat of

accomplish this, it has been proposed to
make rally on WIN. Dennison, of Co.

Unite Synod Of the Presbyterian Church

This body, comprising representatives
from the various Synods in the Southern
States, met at Knoxville, Tenn. on the LIST
inst. Rev. Charles II. Renl, ID. d.. of Rich
mond, Va, was elected Moderator by accla-
nation. On the second day Of the session. q
declaration "f principles was reported for the
purpose Of showing the position the Synod
proposed to occupy. The eighth article of
this declaration read as follows;
Inasmuch as neither the Saviour nor his
Apostles minated that the slaveholding rea.
ton was sinful. and as they did not attempt
IL remove Shareholders IRON the church BY
legislation. or by testify'ng against IL; and
further. az the system of slavery is an insti-
tuition Of the State, its continuance or aboli-
ton depending entirely upon the will Of the
State. irrespective Of the views and decisions
Of church courts. il is the judgment Of this
Synod that the discussion or agitation Of
slavery in the judicatories Of the church. ex-
cept so far as respects the moral and reiigi.
Gus duties growing out Of the relation OF mas.
ter aud slave, is inappropriate TO the iunc-
tions IL such jud,catories. This Synod rep
reseniing Presbyteries that have withdraw
from their former ecclesiastical connection.
because Of the repeated and unconstitutional
action on slavery by the General Assembly,
therefore declares that under the present
constitution Of the Presbyterian Church. the
agitation Of slavery in any Of our judicatories,
or further than pertains TO the moral and re.
ligious duties arising from the relation.
would be Inconsistent with the design Of our
withdrawal from our former connec tion, and
in forming new organization. Whilst,
then, we propose no alteration Of the consti-
tutiaa Of the Presbyterian Church. believing
that as il INV stands the spirit Of il is against
the agitation Of slasrholding in the church.
we express the opinion that those who unite
with Us, or who may come after US. will be
under moral obligation. so long as the con.
stitution remains as il is, TO exclude slavery,
the agitation OF which has already divided
three large denominations in the country, as
a subject Of discussion from the church
courts.

New York PAuPERrsx. The report Of the
Secretary Of State presents some astounding
facts on the subject of pauperism. 1t appears
by the census Of 1855 that the whole popula-
ton Of the State was 3,466,2i2; Of which
9s2,0l9. or 26.6 per cent were foreigners.
This a6.6 Of our population furnishes 81 per
cent. of our paupers. The total expense in.
cured by the State for the relief and sup
port Of our pauper population, exclusive Of
the first costof the poor-house establishments.
was 81 ,S54.38 Of which 1893, 069 was paid
for the support of foreign paupers. 1t would
seem from this as if the European Govern.
ments made it an object to rid themselves o.
their needy population. This state Of things
certainly affords food for reflection; and the
reflection necessarily forces itself upon the
mind that our country is used as :" an asy.
lum for the oppressed with little too much
liberality. NJ Y. Cor. MAJ. Int

ANOTHER SHOT AT THE EMpERoR.-The
Paris correspondent of the Boston Post
writes: The peace which was promised by
the detection and capture Of 0rsini is not
nigh. On Monday last another shot, | am
told, was fired at the Emperor, just as he was
leaving the little garden to the right Of the
gateway of the Tuilleries to cross over to
the paterre on the other side. The shot came
from SUBJ officer Of the regiments Of the line.
But few persons were present and he stood
isolated from the little knot Of flaneurs who
assemble against the grating to see the En-
peror pass by. No event Of the kind is. Of
course, ever registered in the journals,--not
even to state that the shot has missed, as
usual. nor to mention about the star" and
the :. mission" under which, and for which,
Louis Napoleon pronounced himself in
vulnerable. The rumor runs, that the cul.
prit was shot on the instant and another re-
port declares that the character he had as
sumed was fictitious one, and that he had
turned out, on examination, to belong TO the
Italian section of conspirators, although him
self Frenchman. The story is believed
throughout Paris, in spite OF the secrecy
with which it has been hushed up; and has
not tended to increase the security Of the
public mind, as you may well imagine.
