ZUxBso GoLp.-The editor Of the Ro-
chester Free Press, has been shown by Mr..
DAMON, Q ieweller Of Rochester, "a beautiful
gold rings, manufactured by Mr.. D., in
very superior style, from gold obtained on
the Zambro. The gold is very fine article,
the assay showing fneness Of little over
twenty-five carrots. The Free Press says;
On account ofthe high water which prevailed
all last season, no continued or persistent min
ing operations could be carried on for any
length of time, and the company often having
their sluices, dams, &C., washed away several
times, finally abandoned the work but not un-
til they had fully satiied themselves that the
bars and banks OF the river contained SUFFICIENT
gold, with well directed effort, to pay for the
mining. The amount actually dug by members
Of one mining company, was little short OF
one hundred dollars, y sum sufficient to pay
them for the labor they expended, but enough
TO prove the mines reality. At all events, SO
confident are the parties who worked those
diggings last summer, that they will pay, they
and have formed another company, with the
intention Of commencing mining operations as
soon the weather " i'll permit.
That there is gold upon the banks Of Zlmbro
there is no longer any reason to doubt, and that
ii can be found in quantities that will pay for
the working, il, as the case at present stands,
far more probable, than the truth Of the golden
stories from the Pixies Peak dggings.

Abelishing Grand Jaries.

The New York Times says - serious
difficulty has been discovered in the way Of
setting aside Grand Jaries," a. proposed BY
lawlof the recen. legislature Of Michigan /;
for the Fifth article Of the Amendments to
the Constitution Of the United States con-
tains the following provision
No pe,son sAaa be held to ansrsy for capstai
or othsr,ciss infamous er,ms unless al prsssnt'
Msnt or indictment ofa Grand jury, except in
cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in
the militia, when in actual service, In time OF
war or public danger.
This settles the question. We must bear
with grand Juries awhile longer.
On the other hand, a writer in the Cerlu.
~, who writes at Stamford, CT, says the
practice adopted 10 Michigan, is by no
means novelty:

juries, in most cases ~ IAN innovation in some

an innovation a far as Michigan is concerned
and perhaps II would be so SO in most Of the
States of the Union, but 1t Ia by no means a
novelty in old Connecticut, where our laws
have mmemorially required a grandjury only
in cases where the punishment Is capital OF
confinement in the State Prison for life. In al
other cases, whether offelony or misdemeanoI
the prosecution is by information filed by the
State Attorney, in the Superior Court (corres
ponding with your Supreme Court,) except In
cases Of petty crime, when the information Il
filed by grand juror (who is town officer
in Justices court. Not the slightest evil ha,
resulted from this practice, OF which We have
had . century's experience.

Coon ADvIcE.-The Richmond (Va-) News,
in its references to the ridiculous escapade of
the medical students at Philadelphia, gives the
following emphatic advice:
In Gods name, if we are to make war, in :
discriminatory, upon the northern people, let
it not be in her halls of learning and literary
institutions. The French revolution left them
untouched, and held them sacred from the pro-
fame scenes of violence and blood. If we are
to make WARRIOR one, we say let it be open,
bold, manly, avowed and worthy Of the great
name of the Commonwealth of Virginia
We protest against these retail thread and nee
die IDEAS Let us abandon such petty resorts,
and crying, "Havoc let slip the dogs of war"
If we are to fight, let it not be with bodkins
If war must come, let it find us men-not a
parcel of scolding, cap-pulling women. Let
us, at least, preserve the equilibrium of dgni-
ty, if all else be lost, But if we conclude to
keep up this war of small ware retaliation-at
least, turning from the schools and colleges
let it be in the fields in the marts, in the mills,
and in the contingencies.

of which were That the Bible contains rev.
citation, but its entire inspiration is not certain ;
that adult men as well as infants may be saved
without faith in Christ; that man is not sin
ner till he actually sins that gracious ability
is given to all under the sound of the gospel ;;
that neither Adams sin nor Christs righteous
ness are imputed to men and that they de-
clared their disbelief OF the Westminster As

credited soundness should have licensed young

1t is generally believed, in Kentucky, that
the numerous anonymous letters received by
southern gentlemen during the lastfew weeks,
warning them Of impending plots and at
tempts at running off slaves, were got up
by gangs of negro traders and thieves, with
view Of profit. This is the prevalent opinion,
we understand, Of intelligent slave owners.
