Magenta, June 7, 1S59.-Yesterday even
ing, not without great difficulty, L succeeded
in getting here, to inspect the field of the glo-
rious battle fought on Saturday last. My pen
is not adequate to describe the heart-rending
scene which surrounds me. Trees thrown
down by the deradful effect of artillery heaps
of dead bodies, human limbs scattered about,
carriages broken, farm houses burnt, crops
trampled, vineyards devastated, houses plum
dered-such is the deplorable sight which has
met my eyes since my arrival in this town.
Town, however, Magenta is no more. The
small inn whence | am now writing these
line bears marks of the tremendous struggle,
for it was thrice taken and retaken during the
action.

Sir John Franklin.

EH- The remains Of SIR JOHN FRANK
Inns expedition, after lapse of some
fourteen years, have at last been discov-
cred, and the melancholy fate of his fol-
lowers ascertained for certainty. Sir
John sailed from England, May 10th
1915, in search of the North west pass
age, with two ships, having on board
1873 souls, all Of whom have persisted.
Four expeditions were sent in search of
him in lS4S and three in 1849. In 1850
no less than eight expeditions were sent.
In 1851 two more expeditions were sent
out to find him, and in 1859 Sir Edward
Belcher went out with five vessels. In
1858 Dr.. Kane sailed upon his memora-
BILE expedition, and Lady Franklin sent
out two more vessels. Dr.. Rae made
another overland expedition, and the
British government sent out Captain In
glefeld, but all without determining any
thing definite relative to the fate of Sir
John and his companions. Since then
Capt. Hartstene went in search of DR..
Kane, and two other expeditions we're
sent in search of Franklin. The whole
number of expeditions sent directly and
indirectly to search for Sir John is o.
The Albany Journal, from which we
gather this epitome, says that King Will
liams Island, where the remains were
found, is one ofthe southernmost islands
of the Arctic Ocean, but little north of
the upper shores of Hudson's Bay. 1t is
IL degrees farther South than the spot
where DR.. Kane wintered safely, and
three hundred miles farther South than
the Danish settlement in Greenland. Be-
cause it was so near by, and SO far South,
the expeditions never dreamed of looking
there before, but have pursued their in
vestigations in the icy regions further
North.

Instruction at Harper's Ferry-Many
Killed and Wounded.

GH According to reports by telegraph,
in the Dubuque Herald of Wednesday,
there has been terrible riot at Harper's
Ferry, Va, although the whole affair, to
us. looks very improbable. Still there
are quite number of dispatches from
Baltimore, Washington, and other places
in the vicinity, and as they all agree, we
are justified in giving them credit. The

watamie BRowN, and a man by the name
of Cook, having attacked and secured
the United States arsenal They then
stopped the railroad trains, sent arms in
to Virginia, and did many other acts
that appear quite rebellious. Notice was
sent to various cities, and troops were
forwarded from Baltimore, Washington,
Richmond, Frederick City, and several
other points. The whole region was
thrown into the most intense excitement,
and the Mayors Of Washington, Rich
mond, and other places, organized forces
to put down the revolt, should it mani
fest itself within the circuit of their iu-
risdiction.
In the meantime the insurgents had
entrenched themselves in the arsenal, in
strong position, ard refusing to surrer-
der Internationally, preparations were
made to attack them. United States
troops, with several pieces of cannon, had
arrived, and 400 or 500 volunteers from
the adjoining cities. The attack was first
made by the volunteers, several of whom
are reported killed. The insurgents orig
inally numbered % persons, of whom
are reported killed and 2 MORALLY wound
ed. BRowN's son was killed, and he
MORALLY wounded. Cook escaped to
the mountains with party of slaves,
but large companies of men are in pur-
suit of them. The origin of the affair
seems involved in mystery. One report
is that the government contractor for the
construction of a dam at Harper's Ferry,
recently absconded, leaving his employ
ees unpaid, and they attacked the arsenal
for the purpose of securing the govern
ment funds which they supposed to be
deposited there. We think, however, if
the whole matter is not wolully exagger-
ated, that it was an organized slave in

Gold News.

put in possession of two numbers of the
Rocky Mountain Neacs, of September Z
and %, sent TO him by friend in the
mines. The Meas is quite handsome

with reading matter. The last number
contains a statement of the receipts of
gold dust taken at the different mercan-
tile establishments in Denver and Aura
ria City, from the time they opened, and
also the shipments made. From this we
learn that $73,787 were received, and
s45.o62 shipped. We notice that there
are two Masonic Lodges already estab-
lished in Auraria and Denver, and that
a subscription was then being taken for
tie erection of school house. Messrs.
JAMES NJ BUEDIcK, Son d. Co., were tax
ing Arabrotype views of the mines and
vicinity. for the purpose of giving to the
people OF the States panoramic exhibit
ton of whatever was noticeable in that
region. The mining news is reported
favorable. In an account of an explor-
ing and prospecting tour to the Rocky
Mountains, written it is supposed by Mr..
WILTsE, formerly of Dubuque, there oc-
ours the following, showing that even in
that supposed barren region, fruit is not
lacking. The writer says:
"In a little semicircular valley we
found an orchard of currants-red. yell
low, and black, very fine and large, aver
aging over half an inch in diameter
The fruit was bursting with ripeness, and
without exception the finest wild fruit we
ever tasted. On two acres of ground We
have no doubt hundred bushels could
have been gathered the bushes abso-
lutely breaking under its weight. Be-
sides currants we found great quantities
OF cherries and gooseberries in the same
vicinity. in consequence of which, and
the incompatible beauty of the valley,
we there made our claim, and design
taking up our residence thereon, some of
these days"

In social life, Mr.. Broderick was one
of the most exemplary men that could
be found in any country. No clergy
man, no philanthropist. however proud
on the score of morality, could feel more
than Mr.. B. He was never known to en-
ter gambling den or house of i'll fame |;
and in business transactions or personal
dealing, his word was relied on as i'm
plicitly as though he had entered into the
most solemn written obligations for their
performance. For these traits OF char

and among no class Of persons was he
stronger thar with the clergymen of all
denominations, who looked upon him as
a strictly moral man. Mr.. Broderick
