A N>1c Ell D0rado.-The San Francisco
paTcrs are largely occupied with accounts
from Washington territory, all cOncurring in
statements that prolific and apparently mex
haustible auriferOus region has been discov-

British Possessions, and in Washington ter

breadth Of California, the Frazer river
fever" seems to have seized hold Of the pee
Pile, and threatens to break up, or, at least,
seriously disarrange for the time being the
entire mining business Of the State. Such
is the condition Of affairs at the present mo-
ment, and a few weeks more will either create
general stampede, or Gampen the ardor and
cool the fever heated minds of the thousands
who are now struggling with this new gold
fever
The Sacramento Union remarks that the
most curious of all condolences respecting
this new land of gold, is, that it is the scene
of Bacons New Atlantis. And as if this
were not enough to make it immortal in his
tory, Swift also located here his Brobdigna

Of the stories recently sent down from the
Bellingham Bay adventurers, particularly
the account of their chief article of food
CLAIMS, the size of kitchen bellows, which
being dried, are used by the Indians "for the
double purpose of eating and fighting" we
begin to think the miners have sure enough
come upon the scene of Captain Samuel Gul

only borrowed the bellows illustration to in
fate their accounts, and as the Indians Of
which they write are said to be the Flatheads
they may have had in their minds similar
tribe of readers.

GLEN ANNA FEMALE SEMINARY.

MEssRs. EDITORS Having been present during
part Of the late annual examinations of this -four
ishng Institution, take pleasure in saying that
as far as we had opportunity Of observing, they
thorough and satisfactory as anything of the
kind which have witnessed for years. Indeed
were surprised at the promptness and accuracy
of the young ladies in answering questions which
were asked them promiscuously; and the very appo-
site illustrations which were given by them when
examined on " Aids to Composition showed con-
clusively how thoroughly they bad been Instructed
in the principles, and how minutely they had been
taught to comprehend and apply the details of that
very important, though too much neglected branch
Of education.
After the examinations were concluded Rev. G..
F Deems, d. d. delivered an interesting address on
the subject of female education, repete with excel
lent practical observations, presenting within the
compass Of an hour more sterling thought than we
find sometimes expanded to the dimensions of a
volume the same subject.
This Institution continues, before, to offer to
its numerous patrons its excellent facilities for in
struction at the former remarkably low terms. And
when in connection with this, we consider the egi-
bility, healthulness and beauty of its location the
ability and enterprise of its amiabie proprietor, Mr.
Thomas. and the enviable reputation Of Miss La
throp, the accomplished preceptress, we anticipate
that, as it richly deserves, high career of patron
age and usefulness awaits it. R. & NJ.

We take pleasure in announcing that Joel F. Hill,
Esq. has determined to take the field again, as a
candidate TO represent Stokes county in the House
Of Commons Of the next Legislature.
No Democrat can show a better record upon the
Journals of the State than Mr. Hill. He has uni
formly maintained Democratic principles. The in
terests of his constituents and the honor and credit
of the State has been his constant watch-word.-
We rejoice to hear that lie has again consented to
take the field. Let Democratic friends in Stokes
remember that in union and harmony is strength
and let them rally TO the support Of Mr.. Hill. 1t is
true that opposition in Stokes may be said to have
scarcely existence; but the policy is to keep up
the stricest organization and lose nothing by de-
fault Winston Seminal

There is still another matter to which invite the
especial attention of your readers. will here in
sert the names of the employees in the Executive
departments and make a few observations which
think ought to have some weight with people.
The gentlemens names follows

Wondson j. H. Blake L. j. Brown. j. I. Winsow.
Many of these gentlemen are worthy sons and
citizens of North. Carolina, who occupy their posi-
tons with credit to themselves, and with little
honor to the State. AS body, they are attentive
10 their duties, courteous in their manners and ell
qualified for the duties they perform. OF the twenty
whose names are embraced in :he above lis;, there
are men whose interests and whose feelings are not
centred in State. How many of your readers
designate the counties from which some of these
gentlemen came? Politically and personally they
are unknown to our people. Notwithstanding their
interests not identified with our State, get they
are charged to North Carolina, to the prejudice Of
many Of her deserving young They get the
best salaries too. for they s,lfish as they are
impudent and bold. Is all this right? 1t is true
our State is modestshe asks for but little, and it is
deep wrong to refuse her honest young men posi-
tions because they filed by those who claim her
name, for pecuniary considerations. l want the
| peop'e to understand these facts; not because we
cannot reap a harvest Of "spoils but because
North Carolina is neglected, while other States arc
favored when she simply asks fpr Justice and fair
dealing A NORTH CAROLINIAN.

A friend writes US as follows from Halifax county,
in this State:
"Our crops of wheat are nearly ruined by rust,
or something similar. do not think there will be
than the third of crop made in this neghbor-
hood Corn and cotton are looking pretty well
A friend writes US from Florida as follows, under
date May 31st:
"The crops in this State are generally very fne
Some are even now laying by their corn, and our
cotton is in boom.'
We learn that the rust has seriously injured the
wheat in various portions of this State. For exam
pie, we hear that in the Roanoke and Pasquotank
country not more than half crop has been made;
and we have heard of two farmers in Wake county
who did not even cut their wheat, so badly was it
injured by the rust but turned their stock upon it.
T-I,;"s ,l,- slate, presume not more than
three fourths of crop has been made.
Corn and cotton in this section are looking we'll,
and it is thought the yield will be full one. The
recent hot days and occasional showers have been
quite beneficial to both these staples
