BRITIsH OPINION OF LOUIS NAPoLEoN.-Th
following is from an article in Blackwood's
Magazine, on the peace of Villa-franca:
The result showed that Kossuth, with all
his ability and eloquence, was but as an in
fantin the hands of the extraordinary man
who rules France, and who now holds in his
power tho fortunes of Europe Even from
this little fact We can afford to lesson: for
never until the old popular ideas of Louis
Napoleon are displaced, and until the British
public recognizes in him one of the most
powerful and subtle intellects that the world
has ever seen-a man gifted with the power
of calculation that amounts to preseience
joined to a hand that never fiinehes and G
tongue that never reveals-never, we say
until the British public so learns to appreci-
ate this new Napoleon, will it be possible fol
our government to cope with his policy, and
make head against those new combinations
which will date their birth from the momen-
tous interview at Villafranca.

speaking of the death of Judge Crane:
lie was seated at a table, in conversation
with DR.. Charles d. Daggett, when he sud

great change had come over him. These
were his last words. Perceiving that he was
no longer sensible, the Doctor applied the
usual restoratives, but in vain. A vein was
then opened, but the current had ceased to
flow. Sudden, indeed, was the exit of our

BIG STORIES ABOUT THE CARSON VALLEY
MINEs.-The Genoa Enterprise speaks as fol.
lows of the Carson Valley Mines:
The mines at Virginia Town and Gold Hill
are exceeding the most sanguine expectations
of their owners. At Virginia Town particu.
larly, the claims upon the main leads, promise
to excel in richness the far famed Allison
lead in California. Nothing like them has
ever been struck in California in its palmiest
days. Claims are changing hands at almost
fabulous prices. No fictitious sales either :;
but pure bona fide business operations. The
main lead upon which is the celebrated Com
stock and other claims, appears to be COM
posed of both gold and silver, and the more
it is prospected the richer it seems Donald
Davidson d Co., of San Francisco, have pur-
chased 200 tons of the rock containing gold
and silver in conjunction, at $4,000 per ton,
and are shipping it to England by way of
San Francisco for assay. Other parties are
investing very heavily.

says:

worked in the Mokelumne, Auburn and other
mines, that the San Gabriel mines would, if
water could be used to work by hydraulic
power, be the most productive, and that all
which is wanting to make the product of
these mines equal to any in the State, is
the investment of little capital.
The companies that are employing men
