From the st. Louis Democrat of the 25th
ult., we extract the following: $50 great is the
demand for provisions at St. Joseph for the
mines, that Mr. Isidore Poullin, merchant of
that place, who has been shipping to this port
large quantities of bacon, has come here to re-
purchase some of that article. He says that
he assisted a few days ago in carrying from
the steamer Wattossa to the White Cloud, thir-
ty-fye thousand dollars worth of gold dust
which Mr. john Richard had procured from
Indians who had collected it with implements
of the rudest description, which they them
selves made.
"Yulo, Yaacton, Stephen and Winnebago
villages, are points from which many Indians,
half-breeds, etc, had gone to the diggngs.-
Mr.. Poulin had sold goods for the mines 10
the amount Of $4,000, and corroborates the
reports in regard to the richness Of the-aurife
rouss region

THr NEW RIVER ABOVE CENTRAL.

Tho New River can be made pavigabe from ina
conner and lead mres TO Central for very Small
.um The plan proposed il to build canal from the
town of Central, on the Virginia and Tcnnes-ee ku
Road, TO point half mile above Engllshs bridge
at the McAdamzed road. This canal would D,
about three miles long and would overcome fai oi
about 90 feet. But which might, with the aid Oh
dam at the upper end, be raised to - ieet' ih's
canal st the point designated, would accomplished
several objects. First it would give to the town Oh
Central an Unlimited icdter pOwer and win Inc coa'
AMI minerals with which it ia associated, 1t would
build up great manufacturing centre, whose adVan'
tsges would not be erceed by any that We Know
Second it would, bring the produce OF the up Country
direct 10 the town and on level with the rail- roao'
aud by the means of locks would elevate the fregu'
which may ascend the river 10 the same posi''on-
Third il would complete the navigation oil oilicu"
part of the river, and bring it to the point aesreu
From the head of the canal, about three mites
above Central TO Grsham's new furnace, tho iaI 10
tring, tbs river presenting eddy water tor most Oh
ths disancs-aud few small lodges only obstruct
the navigation. But from the furnace to the LEAD
mines, some ten miles further up, the iall 10 much
greater still, simple batteau1 navigation, such 81
would answer the down freight of that region which
would be the greatest, by ten to one, would be mat
ter of no concern. Indeed, were the work complete
10 Grahams or the mouth of Reed creek, the owners
of ths lead mines, would finish the remainder them
selves. To build the Canal only $1,000 would be
required, since a small work would answer every
PURPOSE for the present. and So 0OD more would come
p.te the navigation TO Reed creek, or SlO O00 to the
lead mines near the mouth of Cripple creek This
amount OF money, $4,000 the lead miners might
spend themselves, with profit since it would pay them
back in FIVE years, with their present limited
business. But, when we consider the advantages
which they would derive from ihe coal, which their
ores would meet at Central, and the facilities they
would gain 10 increase and improve their business
We eau cleary $50 that such an outlay would BIZ re-
paid 10 them n much less time Still such an amount
will not bs REQ aired from them alone, since the water
rents from the Canal Central for the power TO ope-
rate furnaces and propel machinery, without the
tolls on passing boats, would coon repay go trlng au
outlay; and Indeed may be safe in saying that no
project now offers, which presents greater induce
ments for investment. We have said nothing about
the copper mines or the iron which such navi-
igaon would open out. We do not at present advise
anything but simple batteaux navigation TO answer
the times and the demand-it would eventually nHu.
eurate something greser.

"For my heart beats loud and fast,

As they carry home their ehesyes;
And the evening breeze has risen,
And rustles the dying leaves"

Calmly still che strove to speak,
Yet her voice grew faint and trembling,
And the red flushed in her cheek.

Below, now their work is done,
And they laugh that their eyes are dazzled,
BY the rays Of the setting sum-"
Fainter grew her voice, and weaker
As, with anxious eyes she cried,
down the avenue of chestnuts
can hear the horseman ride"
at was only the deer that were feeding
In herd on the clover grass;
They were clarified and fed to the thicket,
As they saw the respere pass"
Now the night arose in silence,
Birds lay 10 their leafy neat,
And the deer couched in the forest,
And the children were at rest
There was only sound of weeping,
From watchers around bed,
But rect TO the weary spirit,
Peace TO the quiet dead!
