CHiRioui DIGGisos. On the Is,hmus OF

tives we're once in the habit Of placing COL
den images In the graves OF their friends.
Accordingly an active system Of graveyard
robbiny has been commenced. which Is dig

Some 1000 persons are engaged in the BUSH
ness. Says letter from Panama;
~ have seen at least one hundred pounds
weight Of these golden ornaments some OF
which are very curious. All letters receiv-
ed from Chiuqui agree in stating that the
Weld Is large, and that the number OF
graves is enormous. There are now about
5000 Of the native. Of the province a, work.
Some men have obtained as much as seven

out Of one grave. Another found a golden
hat or crown. weighing. IL Is said. twenty
Eve pounds bu, the images average only
FROM an ounce To pound and half.

very well.wrought human figure. The
schooner Josela sailed from here on the
l9tb, fully laden with provisions. with
about forty five passengers, chiefly young
men Of good family. Two other schooners
sail in few days. and IL the accounts are
confirmed by the Josria party, our city will
BE- deserted. Every one in ,he interior is

The demand Tor silver to buy gold at the
diggings (as the natives only sell Tor plata

THE OXFORD DEMO- T.

ing. woman-nogging CHRISTIANS down
South, with their toadying, doughfacc sup
porter. at the North consider 1t an offence
and wrong.
Thus the Society announces a disposition
TO suppress all testimony against dancing
arain., the use OF tobacco. against in'em'
perance, and against slavery. and, OF
course. in sustaining, by implication, all
those practices, they sustain all their at''n'
dant e,il-.-thus, in our view, bringing the
standard Of christian character down to the
level Of any bartender or gutter drunkard.
We have nothing to say Of tho Society.
We think We have set forth only the lcgi,''
mate conclusions to bc drawn from their
own statements and leave the matter with
the simple wish, that the people Of our own
State will examine this circular carefully
before they entrust the Society with their
contributions.
We believe the Conventions Of all the re-
ligious denominations in this State have
passed resolutions 'ympathirins with the
