There has within the past week been a
! good dealof talk in Congress, and much
more in the newspapers s, about British out
Gulf Of Mexico. 1t appears England, having
labored earnestly for years. and expended
millions Of money On the coast OF Africa to
+ suppress the slave trade, and utterly tailed,
! has adopted the new and certainly more ra-
tiona plan Of watching the coast of Cuba, to
/ which tire slaves are all brought. The es-
/ plona.e here can be kept up at a fourth the
exp,nse, while il can he made vastly more
effective. In making the change, and IN is-
suing orders TO their cruzers in the Gull,
the British government, appear, however,
not TO have been sufficiently definite or care
full to avoid infringing on certain little points
ofm.riue etiquette about which Uncle Sam
ueI is well known to be a great stickler. Ii
is impossible for English cruizers in the
Gulf 10 check the slave trade unless they
can search suspicious vessels TO see whether
tLcy have slaves on board. SO her cruzcrs
were ordered TO make searches. But in cx-
e.uting this instruction, the Britt cruz"rs
undertook to hoard e5ery vessel they met
on the coast, and il vessel refused 10 haul

Gold Fever in Iowa.

Our Des MOines correspondent recently
endeavored 10 allay the gold fever in Iowa
by a judiciOus application Of cold water, but
we notice that the disease is on the increase.
The Davenport State DemOcrdt OF the 14th
inSt.,gives nearly a coluun of gold items
clipped from it interior exchanges, and ac-
companies them with the following remarks:
We were at first, inclined to regard the
stories with suspicion but the accumulated
proof now satisfies us beyond doubt, that
gold exists IN large quantities in Il number
of counties in this State Evidences of its
existence have been discovered in Madison,
Lee. Warrea, Clark, Boone. Des Moincs,
Polk, Union, Story and Johnson counties.
The first discovery was made we Learn,
at St. Charles Madison county, some time
during the asst autumn. "A person OF whose
name we are uniformed. while engaged in
constructing mill dam, noticed sope small
Jumps of vel ow ore scattered about among
the loose earth and CARRIE them home for
the amusement Of his children. Near the
close OF the winter, some returned CaiifoI-
mans, Glanced to stop at the house and see
Ing the p'aythln- $ OF the chi!ren, pronounc-
ed them TO he gold. To make mater sur,
one OF the Jumps WAS sent To Cincinnati Tor
examination, with a request that if 1t wa
value by express. The result was the re-
ccipt Of twenty-five dollars in the course OF
a few days
The discovery was q once made known,
and 4 large portion Of the inhabitants oil
that section Of the country are now said 10
