on the ground which put very different phase
upon the matter. These all testify as to the
presence of gold but do not believe that for
tunes will be made very readily in digging for
the dust. OF similar tenor is letter we have
seen from an intelligent citizen of this county
who has been over the ground. This letter is
dated at "Auraria," IA location without habita-
ton in Western Kansas Dec. 9th, and the
subjoincd is an extract we are permitted to
publish;
1--WE have been prospecting last week and
most of this but have found nothing that will
pay as yet, nor have there been found any
diggings that would pay one for coming out
here, cannot advise any of my friends as yet
for the purpose of mining. If they come for
the trip as / did, all right. People here are in
hopes of finding better diggngs in the Spring,
but they expect to have to go into the noun
tains. We find gold all over the country but
not in sufficient amount to pay. | suppose the
papers at the East are filed with great reports
of the gold found at Pixies Peak. But such
statements arc not true. If there are any such
diggings they are yet to be found"

TIE 1fOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION

Some weeks since we announced the appoint
mcnt of Mrs Mary Pepperel Jarvis Cults, by
the Regent of the "Mount Vernon Ladies AS
ISOLATION of the Union" as Vice Regent for
Vermont. Since then we are informed that
the Vice Regent has appointed Mrs Mary L.
Kellogg, wife Of Geo. B. Kellogg, Esq, Lady
Manager for Windham County
We have from time to time taken occasion
to speak Of the enterprise-that of rescuing
the residence and tomb of Washington from
the hands of spoicr, and of preserving it with
all its patriotic associations and recollections
for the common good of our common country
in such terms as its importance deserves
We would now gladly comply with the request
of the Vice Regent in publishing the appeal of
the Regent, issued on the 18th of February
last, had not time and success rendered much
OF that appeal unnecessary. In place of it we
append the Report Of the Treasurer of the As
ISOLATION, made on the I'd ult., which gives a
very satisfactory account of the success of the
undertaking. To this Report we prefix the APP
peal of the Lady Manager for this county, and
commend it to the attention of all interested in
so worthy and patriotic an object.

A correspondent at Guldhall sends us an ac-
count of the trial at the recent term of the Essex
County Court, of one William Hopkins, for as
sault and battery. Itappears that J. f.. HAYWARD

Hopkins daughter, by ohliging her to occupy
a lower seat in school. The teacher was invited
to Hopkins dwelling to board, and in course of
the evening, he asked the teacher why he made
his daughter occupy the lower seat. Stepping
out OF the room, he got lower chair and asked
him to occupy it, which he refused to do, upou
which Hopkins beat the teacher with large oak
whip stock until he was unable to resist, and af-
terwards refused to let him co. but went before
the grand jury and entered complaint against
himself, plead guilty, and was fined sl.O6 and

rIID c4InI.Es -nrrAIn.-IIie tTiai OF Danici
Z. Sickles for murder in shooting Philip Barton
Key, is in progress before the District Cour: at
Washington. The New York papers give a
very full account of the matter reporting all the
facts, statements, and incidents. The pictorial
papers have done and are doing smashing
business in the way Of illustrating the principal
actors and their surroundings. Among the en-
cravings we have noticed are that of the opera
glass thrown by Key; side view of his vest
showing where the ball entered, picture of the
piece Of cloth taken from the wound the house
rented by Key with yelled woman about TO
enter amid the watchings of dozen curious
negroes, &c. One would think this was suffi-
GENTLY minute to satisfy the most inquistive
mind; but even this will not suffice. The la
test establishment that we have seen contains
representation "as large as life and twice as
natural" of the cockroaches that inftst the cell
wherein Sickles is confined We suggest to
some of the publishers so fond of filthy pictures,
that they give us view of the handkerchief
which Key waved to Mrs Sickles, with the
scene between Joseph and Mrs Potipf.ar print
ed thereon. 1t is pity that this taste for
the shameful should not be gratifed.
