GnId dnnthe GiIn River.

The Overland Mail to St. Louis, which arrived
Dec. I'd, brought reports of new discoveries OF
gold in Arizona Explorations along the Glla
River have resulted in the discovery of some OF
the richest deposits which have ever claimed the
attention of the gold hunter within our posses
sions. About ls miles from Fort Yuma parties
are at work-at which point it is said the richest
of these new discoveries is located So states
the st. Louis Democrat, which, from the struc-
ture of the mountain formations and aurlferous
geological evidences of the country, predicted
the discoveries before the first painful of earth
had been washed for gold. 1t says the Gila

COMPLIMENTARY Dinner to MIR. eiddlngs.

Complimentary Dinner TO Mr. Giddings'
The veteran Ohio member was honored with
a complimentary Dinner by the leading Repub-
Hcans of Boston during his recent visit to that
city. The occasion was very pleasant one.
About fifty gentlemen were present, and the
Hon. Henry Wilson presided. On his right
sat Mr. Giddings, and on his left Gov. Banks.
Senator W introduced Mr. Giddings in a hap
py speech, and in closing trusted that his life
would be spared many years longer, and that
he would be able to give the world history o
the important and exciting scenes through
which he had passed.
When Mr.. Giddings rose to respond he was
greeted with enthusiastic cheers, the whole
company rising in his honor. Mr. G. acknowl-
edged the kindness of the greeting, and said
that he came to meet his friends against the ad-
vice of his physicians, for his health was so
feeble that he had been compelled to give up an
engagement which he had made to lecture in
Salem. Mr. G. spoke briefly, and was follow
ed by Gov Banks, Hon. Mr.. Comins, c. F.

WHY mas DougIes Gone south g

This is very natural question, and the Chi
cago Press suggests that the main cause is that
he had no desire to be in Washington until af.
ter the Illinois Legislature has reelected him to
the Senate He must dodge voting on certain
test questions that will be likely to come up
early in the session, as those votes might tell
against his success in the closely balanced Gen
eral Assembly. He dare not 60 to Washing
ton-he could not with propriety loiter at Chi
cago, and New Orleans was as good place as
any other to while away a few weeks. He
could occupy his leisure in reconeiling the
South, visiting his plantation, or settling with
SIideH for his Illinois interference, and return

eonesses the error of its course in the Cole case,
and admits that it was 'too fast" in censurng

Both the editors of the Dealer, however, per-

ma, z.eond RcbnRe of Berks.

The second rebuke of the Buchanan Admin
stration by the people of Berks county, is thus
referred to by the Pittsburgh Gazette
Berzs county has again rebuked the Admin
istration. Failing to profit by its former defeat,
1t put M tn, law partner of j. Clancy Jones as
its candidat, for the vacancy caused by the re-
signaIon of the latter, and the Convention
winch nominated him, in order to mark the
contest as decisive one, passed a resolution
approving of the course of the Administration,
Lecompton, Free Trade and all. The people
have responded in the true spirit of freemen.
The Administration candidate is defeated, on
this plain issue, by 500 majority in county
which gave Buchanan in 1856 some 10000 ma
jority This shows that the election of
Schwartz in October was not an accident, and
that the people of Berks have made up their
minds not to submit to the policy of the party
with which that county has been so long iden-
titled

SAD CAsUALrY-The Sandusky Registe
gives the following particulars of melancholy
accident at OberIin:
Miss Summers, of Livingston county, n. Y
young lady attending school at Oberlin, was
so badly burned by the explosion of fluid lamp
at that village, on Friday night, that she died
about eight O'Clock Saturday morning. Being
behind in her lessons, she had obtained permis-
sion to study beyond the usual hour of retiring,
and attempting to replenish her lamp with fluid,
the sad casualty above noted occurred. Her
face and head were frightfully burned. She was
the only daughter of her parents, and was much
beloved by all who knew her This is another
warning to those who are careless in the use OF
fluid lamps.

The steamship Indian Empire, of the Galway
and New York line, left New York on the 23d
of October and Halifax on the 29th for Galway,
and had not been heard from at the latest Euro.
pean dates When the Europa sailed from Lii
verpool, Nov. Goth, the Empire had been out
twenty-one days from Halifax. Hopes were en-
tertained that she had been delayed by some ac-
cident to her machinery, causing her to put in
to Fayal, or to continue her course under sail
for Galway. The probabilities are that she is
lost. The Empire sailed from New York with
eighty one passengers, fourteen of whom were
in the first cabin, and crew of eighty. six men,
besides the Captain and nine officers. She had
two hundred tons of cargo, consisting of cotton,
tobacco, and slaves. She probably took on a
few additional passengers at Halifax.

Employment of Money TO Garry Elections,
That paragraph in President Buchanan's let.
ter to the Pittsburgh Centennial Celebration in
which he says in referring to the halcyOn days
of the Republic and our respectable fore fathers,
that 4" We never heard, until within a recent
period, of the employment of money to carry
elections" J." and his solemn warning of the coun-
try against the dangerous practice, is certainly
the coolest and the richest thing in its way that
has met the public eye for long time. The
able Washington correspondent of the North
American, thus shows up the preaching and the
practice of President Buchanan on the "em-
ployment of money to carry elections" text
Considering that this Administration has sys-
tematically assessed nearly all the contractors
of the Utah war, and the Custom Houses and
| Post offices, for this express purpose, and with
the direct knowledge and authority of the
President, the affectation OF moral resentment is
rather cool. 1t is only six weeks ago. since the
Clerks in all the Departments here, were as
sessed so much per capita 10 aid the election Of
Clancy Jones, and under the threat of removal,
/ in the event of refusing. Within the last eigh-
teen months, that tax has been imposed several
times, as hundreds are ready to prove. And it
is well known, that $4,000 per annum are paid
| for editorial services IN the Union, obtained
directly from levies made upon jobs, printing
and binding, given to Wendell by the Depart
ments, with that understanding. In the whole
history of this Government, there was never
before such fragrant and such prohigate abuse
of patronage, as Is now witnessed, and
admitted by every candid Democrat -
Every valuable appointment or contract, is
distributed to produce the most political ef-
feet by the Presidents personal supervision,
| for 1t is due to the Cabinet to say, they
only do what he orders Money is the power
by which the Administration has controlled
party organization, because every valuable Office
has been required to pay Its proportion for that
object. There is standing assessment in all
the principal Custom Houses, and | know per-
sOnally of an application, to build the machin-
cry of one of the new sloops ofwar, in which
| $40, 900 above the usual price was put on, to be
divided among favored politicians, and appro-
priated to those eleetioneering purposes which
now so much horrify the President. 1t hap
pened, however, that the competitors of those
parties, for their own protection, secured the
services of a member of the House, who stood
near TO the throne, and his representation in
dueed the Navy Department to accept the pro-
per bid, by threatening an exposure which
would have been as bad as Fort Smelling, Will
litt's Point, the New Bedford Site, and other
| jobs, which have tainted the Administration
| with the stencil of corruption.

Zone of the Signs of the Democratic South.

One of the Signs of the Democratic South
The Mobile Register is an able Administra-
ton journal, and exerts wide influence. 1t
expresses the opinion that the success of Doug
las in Illinois bodies only disaster to the Democ-
racy, and assumes that Douglas now has it in
his power to offer the Democracy in 1860 the
alternative of accepting his platform or of de-
feat. There is" it says, ruin to them as a
national party in either horn of the dilemma, we
believe, but there is demora ization as well as
disaster in one" 1t expresses its own prefer
ences as follows:
CAS- one would prefer that the Democratic
party should be defeated in the next Preslden
tial election, rather than it should win success
by the smallest possible further concession to
the Anti-Slavery sentiment of the North, we
therefore prefer defeat to the adoption of Mr..
Douglas as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, because that involves a concession.
Rather than this, we say, let the Democratic
party become in its organization, as it now is
in its essential composition, Southern section
al party, and let rs stand on our constitutional
rights, and rely on our own moral and material
resources, for the protection of rights, in the
Union, if we can-out of it, five must"
The Register it will be seen admits that the
Democratic party in its essential composition is
now "a Southern sectional party" and threatens
disunion in certain contingencies. We have No
doubt the Register expresses the feelings aud
purposes of large majority of the Southern
Democracy, who will dictate the action of the
next National Convention, both in its platform
and candidate

The fact is prominently set forth that on anC
after the first of July next, the mails are to bC
conveyed between New Orleans and Washing
ton in three and half days. The expenses o
the department over and above its resources
have regularly increased ever since the reduc
ton of postages it would, however, be OBJ
yiously erroneous to suppose that this charge
upon the treasury is to progress in ratio pro.
I portionate to what it has been the last few
years. Our postage system is now extended
over the whole countTy-from one ocean to the
other There can be but little further expense
resulting from overland cOnnexion with Califor-
MIA, except one other route commonly called the
North route. No other is now thought of as
likely to become necessary.
the Postmaster General proposes in lieu Of
franking privileges now allowed by law to
Members of Congress, that the Secretary of
the Senate, or such other officer as may be des.
ignated for the purpose, furnish the members
with postage stamps to be used on all letters,
public documents dc, transmitted by them in
the mails, and keep an account Of the stamps
furnished each member, to be paid for out of
the contingent fund of the House. All letters,
DC, to Members of Congress to be prepaid at
mailing offices. 4 uniform rate of postage Of
five cents for all distances Is proposed.
On the 3Oth of June last there were in opera
ton eight thousand two hundred and ninety
six mail routes, the length Of which is estimat-
ed at go, ,603 miles, and cost 81, 95,4ls, being
an addition of ls,002 miles to length of routes,
and SI,773,372 to the cost in year. The to-
tai estimates for the current year are Sl0,6l5-
947, and the total expenditures in the fiscal
year ending June 30th S12, ,722, ,479. The esti-
mates of receipts and expenditures for 1859 ex-
hibit deficiency of So, $50, ,I27.
The Post Master General says by the time
the contract for the California lines via Panama
and Tehuantepec expire, on Oct Ist 1853. it
is probabl, that the route by Lake Nicaragua will
have been re-opened and in successful opera
ton. This presents the question whether one,
two, or three of these routes shall thereafter
be employed for mail purposes TehusntePec
route is shortest and most readily protected,
but it will be comparatively new and the line of
staging too long. While it is destined no
doubt to become transit of the first importance
and will deserve the highest patronage and
still it cannot supercede the
necessity of one or more routes through Cen
tral America.
1t is of the highest importance that the route
