GOLD Discoveries ON TIE GILA RivEx.-By
recent arrivals from the southern esast, we
have intelligence that the people in the neigh
borhood Of Fort Yuma were In . state of ex-
citement in consequence Of reported gold dis
cOveries on the Gila river. The placers, so far
as discoveries have been made, are somewhat
limited-not more than sufficient to acsommo-
date one or two hundred miners. At present
there are not more than afty miners at work in
the dggings. There is a great scarcity of wa
ter in that region, the Colorado and Giia af-
fording ell. The diggiugs are situated from a
quarter to half q mile from the river, and at
present the dirt has to be packed to the water
for washing. The gold is coarse, some speci-
mems weighing from three to four dollars. The
discovery Of rich quartz lead, about sixty
miles above Fort Yuma, is also reported.

CHURCH MATrERs.-The Conference of the
Methodist Church, South, recently 10 session at
stockton, adjourned on Tuesday, Oct 10th, to
meet at San Francisco on the second Tuesday
of October, 1850. The proceedings were char
acterised by degree Of earnestness and zeal
that was highly encouraging to the Church.
The statistics show that the entire number Of
communicates, aside from the members of the
clergy, is 1850. The increase of members, du-
ring the past twelve months, is 800. The nett
increase is 1850, many members having left
the State or died. The number of conversions
during the past year was 1910. The Confer
ence concurred, by vote Of rs to l, with the
United States General Conference, in ignoring
the question of slavery from church discipline
five members being absent. The first Friday
in January was appointed for day Of fasting
and prayer.

TREAsuRER's PERCENTAGE.-Itis is currently re-
ported that the late Board of Supervisors were
In the habit of allowing the County Treasurer
i've per cent. on the amount Of public funds
which passed through his hands, while the law
only allows three per cent. We can scarcely
believe that the late Board would palpably dis
regard q plain provision of the statute, and at
the same time sacrifice the interests Of the coun
~, for the purpose of putting money into tho
pockets of an official pet. We merely mention
the matter for the purpose of elciting informa.
tion on the subject. If the late Board have
been derilict in their duty it is well that th,
public should be placed in possession Of th,
facts, so that they will be better prepared tC
guard against imposition in future.

LAST INTERVIEW BETWEEN BENTON AND b.
cHANAN.-Mrs. Jacobs, daughter of the late
Col Benton, gives the following account of her
fathers interview "a short time before his dcath)
with President Buchanan:
He took the Presidents hand in his, and said,
in clear tones: Buchanan, we are friends we
have differed on many points, as you we'll know.
but have always trusted in your integrity of
purpose. l supported you in preference to FIRE.
mont, because he beaded q sectional party,
whose success would have been the signal for
dsunion. / have known you long, and knew
you would honestly endeavor to do right. l
have that faith in you now, but you must look
to Higher Power to support and guide you.
We will soon meet in another world; am go.
ing now-you will soon follow. My peace with
God is made; my earthly affairs arranged; but
| could not go without seeing you, and thank
Ing you for your interest in my child" Much
more was said that is too sacred to repeat. Co
lionel Benton was much exhausted, and Mr.. Bu-
chanan frequently urged him to spare himself
Mr.. Buchanan remarked to members of the
family that nothing had ever given him greater
pleasure. When Mrs. Jacobs returned to her
fathers room, he called her to him and said
"My child, you are q witness of what has pass
ed this evening; think of it, and remember it.
l am glad Buchanan came; all is peace with
me, and can rest"

pnbl,s school Celebration.


A9reesblv to arrangements which had been
made by the County Superintendent, the pupils
and teachers Of the several public schools ofthe
county, assembled at Nevada last Wednesday.
The schools represented on the occasion, were
those Of Cherokee, San Juan, Rough Il Ready,
Grass Valley and Nevada, and about one hum
dred children took part in the exercises. The
San Juan and Nevada Brass Bands, Together
with the Nevada Rifles, assisted at the Ceiebra-
ton, and escorted the little folks through the
principal streets.
The examination took place at Temperance
Hall, and we are informed that the scholars ex-
hibited q creditable proficiency in their various
branches Of study. In the reading exercises,
Misses Lizzie Burns Of Cherokee, and Nelly
Pooler of Nevada, excelled. The examination
closed with spelling, in which all the scholars
were arranged in q row, and those who failed
to spell word correctly, took their seats. The
Nevada scholars were first seated, and were
soon followed by Grass Valley. The San
Juaners contested some time for the palm, but
were at length compelled to yield, leaving only
two scholars on the foor-Miss Barns, Of Cher
okee, and Master Flat, Of Rough Il Ready. Az
ter short contest between these two, the exer-
cises were closed, before either Of them were
seated.
The examination over, the children were es-
eorted to the residence Of DR.. Overton, where
collation. had been prepared for them, and at
FIVE o'clock o substantial dinner was served up
at the same place, to such Of the pupils as re-
sided at distance from town.
The exhibition in the evening went OF in
good style, and the scholars acquitted them
selves well. The Theater was crowded, and
many were compelled to leave, being unable to
gain admission. The rotations of Lizzie
Burns and Nelly Pooler, and the songs Of Kate
Overton, were much admired, and elected uni
versal cemmendation. The dialogues, by the
Rough & Ready school, were spoken in good
taste, and the defamation Of Master Hughes,
Of Grass Valley, though very much over acted,
broGSh. down the house.
The celebration closed with ball at the
Court House, which was very pleasant affair.
A large number were present, among whom
were all the children who desired to participate,
and the dancing was kept up until o'clock in
the morning.
| We learn that sufficient number Of tickets
were sold for the ball to pay the expenses, while
the receipts of the exhibition were q little
more than enough to defray the other expenses
of the celebration.

TIE CENTRAL MAIL RovTE-We learn from
the Sacramento Union, that petitions to Con-
gress are being circulated and numerously
signed in Ell Dorado county, asking for the ss-
tablishment of tri-weekly mail over the sen-
trail route, and reduction of the schedule
time to twenty or twenty-five days. OF course
II Is not the design to interfere in any manner
with the mail already established over the
southern route. The people OF California should
exert themselves to have as many overland
mail lines to this State established as possible;
the more, the better; and even after experience
shall have demonstrated the most practicable
Eoute, we are satisfied that the others will be-
come too useful and popular with the public
Ter Congress to think of discontinuing them.

SMGULAR.-At the trial, on Friday last, in
San Francisco, of August Simon, charged with
stealing lottery ticket, two singular incidents
occurred. Hooper, one of the jurors, says the
Herald, short time after the Court met be-
came suddenly i'll, and fell from his chair By
consent the case proceeded before eleven ju-
rors, Hooper having been excused. A little la
ter, while Judge Freelon was, in eloquent terms,
portraying the elevated characteristics of the
Jewish people, and incidentally mentioned that
the accused might have committed a neral
wrong, but that be was not legally guilty, the
person referred to-, either overpowered by his
feelings or the victim OF an epleptic attack
dropped from his seat, senseless. This scene,
following so closely on the steps of the forenoon
affair, was too much for the Court, which, pro-
badly fearing repetition of the same maiady
in other quarters, took recess until O'Clock.
1t was understood that both persons soon re.
covered-ths defendant appeared beside bis
counsel during the afternoon and until the iu
~ pronounced him not guilty.

Arrival or the Overland Mail.

The overland mail, which left st. Louis Sept.
9th, arrived at San Francisco last Saturday
evening. The trip was made in twenty-five
days and twenty-five hours, being nearly day
over schedule time. The delay was Occasioned
by the bad roads the other side Of the Ell PasO
One Of the mail stations had been broken up
by the Camanche Indians, and the agent bad
called on the government for an esCor. to pro-
tect the mail. The news is not important.
No satisfactory intelligence is received in re-
gard to the condition of the Atlantic Gable.
De Sanity, the electrician at Trinity Bay, re-
ports that a few signals had been received from
the other end Of the Gable, on the 23d Of Sept,
but it was not possible to send commu-
nication through. The general impression is
that the cable has been injured near the Euro
pean shore, and that the injury would shortly
be repaired.
The steamship Arabia, which arrived at Hal
flax Sept Path, fell in on the 18th with an iron
steamer on fire. Not u person was discovered
near the steamer, nor could its name be aseer-
tanned. 1t was supposed that she had been
burning two days. 1t is conjectured that the
burning vessel was either the steamship Ariel,
which sailed from New York Sept. Sth or the
Austria which sailed from Bremen for New
York Sept. 4th. The former had on board one
hundred and eighty-fve passengers, and $751;
600 in specie, and the latter is supposed to
have had over five hundred passengers. AS the
vessel was on the track of the numerous lines
of steamers between the United States and Eu-
rope, it is supposed that the passengers and
crew had been saved.
Great excitement prevailed in the West in re-
gard to the gold discoveries near Pixies Peak.
From the reports published it is evident that
gold in considerable quantities had been dis
covered in that region. Companies were start
ing every day for the new Ell Dorado.
The yellow fever was still raging at New
Orleans. Eighty deaths occurred Sept 22d,
and seventy-six on the 23d, from this disease.

FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC COAsT.-An eastern
paper says: 1--WE have before us letter from
one of the great political minds of Europe, in
which the writer speaks of the Pacific as the
Mediterranean of the future. The idea is gi-
gantic one, aud one we'll adapted to the all
grasplng capacity OF the American mind. Time
was when small inland sea suficed for the
commerce Of the civilized world. Then came
the Atlantic. Now, the vast Pacific alone will
content u.s. and the Paradise of wealth and the
golden age of commerce, which the past presist-
ed in placing in the East, is rolled over to the
West. We Of the year 1858 shall live to see
civilization and enterprise complete the circle
Of the world, and the great electric cirouit es-
tabl shed-That vital, endless chain of progress
sive action, on which the progress of the world
depends"
