the returned miners Says he did not get any
gold he thought there was gold there, but it
could only be obtained by the aid of the best
machinery and it will not pay to dig for it.
Inc democrat is not certain whether all pre-
sious reports were exaggerations got up for
speculative purposes by cunning traders, or
whether this last news was sent out by miners
to discourage emigration.
The Times states that Hon Edward Everett
proposes to deliver his Eulogy on Washington,

VERMONT CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-The editor Of
the Montreal Argus, speaking Of the road in
late paper, says:
This road has been greatly improved with
in the last two years, and is now, probably, in
the best condition that it has been since it was
first put In operation This is due, in a great
mersure, to the indefatigable e~xertions of R.
Shelburne, Esq, the Superintendent, and |.
B. Howe, Esq, Engineer, as well as Road
Masters Messrs. Stevens and Hatch, who are al
ways found at these posts when required.
CoRREcrroN.-The Montpelier correspondent
of the Boston Traveller has the following
Montpelier also claims, as her own, several
literary authors, who have become known far
beyond the borders of their own State. Among
these, is the Rev. Frederick W. Shelton long
the popular correspondent of the Knickerbocker
Magazine, the author of 'Salander and the
Dragon The Rector of st. Bardolph, &C.,
mostly from the press of Scribner of New York,
and all very happy delineations of domestic
life. d. P. Thompson is another, and still
more voluminous writer of prose fiction, having
published in Boston and elsewhere, five distinct
works, viz May Martin and other Tales
The Green Mountain Boys Locke Amsden,'
The Rangers and lastly, the past season,
Gaut Gurley, Or the Trappers of Umbagog,'
one of which has been dramatized, and several
republished in London"
Taking into consideration that the CORES
pendent is a resident of Montpelier, it looks IL
little egotistical in his stating that Mr. Thomp-
son is a &C more voluminous writer I" than Mr..
Shelton. Mr.. Shelton has published five neat
volumes, besides, we doubt not, has contributed
double the amount to the polite literature of
the day, that has Mr.. Thompson.
