walker River Mines.

We received q visit from Mr.. Farwcll, o
Carson Valley, last Tuesday, and were shown
by him seven ounces Of gold dust taken from
the Walker River mines. The gold is round
n,,re and heavy, resembling that taken out u
t,nncls. He has taken II to San FrAnciHcotC
have it assaycd. Mr.. Farwell is an old Trinity
county miner, has had considerable experience
and VIC have every confidence in his judgment
and statements. lie has prOspcctcd the ra.
vines on the tributaries Of Walker river, and
pivcs il as his opinion TINT an industrious
man can make from six to eight dollars day.
The gold il not course, the largest piece vet

From the general appearance Of the coun-
try, he is satisfied that the diggingS are ex-
tcnsiyc, but not rich. But one gulch has
bccn much prOspcctcd. Walker river has
not been prOspcctcd About 80 miles south

the gold is found is Il soft yellow cement, I'M

Mr.. +. says the hills bear striking rcsem-

Frederick intmntcS that his objection to the
English Compromise Bill was, that it submits
the question to the people. \ man who has
been repudiatcd by the people, has never had
their endorsement, manifcsts no little discern
mcnt in being afraid to trust them. With a
unanimity unparalleled in the annals of polite
al warfare, the Democracy of California in 50
rejected him and his friends. Is it rcmarka-
bic, then, that he distrusts the people? No
thing more natural.

CAIRo-The first accounts Of the destruc-
tive effects Of the food were greatly eXag-
gerated. A despatch from Gov. Matteson
last Saturday, sent from Cairo, say, the bank
building and Springfield Block are all safe
No signs of cracking or falling. None OF the
valuable Improvements of the town seem to
have been seriously damaged. The break
in the levce can be repaired at trifiing OK
pcnse.
Three hundred feet Of the track Of the H.
linois Central, below Burkeyille, eight miles
above Cairo, was washed away; and across
that point there was water from Charleston,
NO., to the bluffs in Kentucky, distance
Of nearly thirty miles.
The inhabited portion Of Mound City was
nearly all under water, more or less, and
the passage from house to house was chiefly
effected by means of boats and RATS. There
was three feet Of water in front CT the Shell
ton House. The 'Locust Mound" whence
the place is named, has cracked in several
places, and was slightly caving in. \ false
door was arranged in the hotel, which obvi-
ated nearly all inconvenience, and the land
lord, Mr.. Place, continued 10 supply his
guests with plenty Of good provisions
About half a mile of the Mound City railroad
was under water, but the trains all arrived
and departed on time.

The WASHINGTON LoBBY-AN OH1e LADY.
The Now York Times Washington cor
respondent, writing on the 18th, says:
One of the operations Of the lobby here
within the past few days has excited q de al
of gossip. Collins being considered abb. to
pay for getting his steamship appropriations
through, he has been pretty thoroughly be-
set; but the climax was reached when the
widow of late deceased member Of Con-
gress from Ohio, presented him with and re-
quired his signature to a bond Of $50, 900
for service in helping through legislation in
his behalf, accompanied by the significant
intimation that twenty seven members were
pledged to vote on the Collins appropria-
tons according as she dictated! Collins Of
course demurred to this extravagant demand
but it is supposed he was obliged to come
down in something hondsome for the extra
ordinary influence Of the female lobby in the
person Of the Ohio widow. 1t is said that
Collins has this time been a worse victim
than ever to the vultures of the lobby, and
has been preysd upon and pestered until he
is hale crazy.

The movement Of the late Springfield
" National" Democratic Convention, in NOM
mating ticket in opposition to the regular
democratic ticket in this state, meets with
favor from no quarter except from the Black
Republicans, whom alone it can benefit
of that party have hailed the movement is
so transparent, however, that even the bolt
ers themselves are becoming Disguised with
it, What other feeling could be excited by
such paragraphs as the following, clipped
from column of the same vein, from the
Springfield Journal, Lincoln's peculiar
mouth piece:
The nominations made by the Convention
are both we'll known throughout the State
As men they are unexceptionable. so far as
We know, in every respect; and being life
| long Democrats, who have grown gray in
! the harness, we presume they will generally
command the support Of the Democratic
party of the State Whether French and
| Fondey will now withdraw from the canvass
remains to be seen, but it is generally sup
posed that ey will. Certainly the great
race will be between Messrs. Dousherty and
| REYNOLDS, and the nominees of the Republi-
can Convention.
Out of our state, by the democracy eve
rywhere, the movement OF the boilers is
viewed in its proper light Nopaper in the
country has been more intensely Lecompton
than tie Richmond South, yet that paper
strongly condemns the movement of the
Springfield June Convention in the follow
ing emphatic language:
We hope the Democracy of Illinois will
| meet in one convention, and nominate off
GERS without regard to LecomptonN A fear
full responsibility will rest upon that wing
| of tho party which refuses to unite, and
keeps alive, for "vindictiye persecution, ~
this unfortunate schism.E The Democracy
of the South will not stand quiet and see
its most effective allies of the Northwest.
hopelessly divided and destroyed, to crafty
vindictive persecution" upon an "extinct
! issue" TsarfuI 1ciU be the responsibility
resting upon tile administration If it does
! not use srery legitimate effort to harmonise
! tile party-it claims the victory upon Le-
compton, and can, therefore, with peculiar
grace, profler the pipe of peace.
We could give columns of similar extracts
from the staunchest administration papers
! from all parts of the Union-nortl. and
south. II is consoling to know that the Dol
tiers receive quite as little sympathy inside
as outside of our state and that, although the
administration has many thousands of
staunch friends among the democracy of H.
| linois. the boilers ticket will not receive as
many hundred votes in November.

From the above Il. ares VIC see that
Springfield presents the lowest figures and
Baltimore the highest-the average e. the
highest and lowest is $15 Al.
But our Board of Education are giving
the city of Ottawa the same kind of schools,
in which the cost per scholar per annum is
only five dollars seven and malt cents,
(s5.o76,) not one-third the expense of the
above mentioned schools. Such figures
show good fnanciering on the part of the
Ottawa Board of Education.
The advantage, no doubt, is owing to the
better skill in grading the schools; which
may still be improved when more large
buildings are erected.
