General Intelligence
The general and political intelligence by the Eu-
ropa is of more than usual Importance.
Political affairs on the continent are assuming a
rather serious aspect.
The ratitcations of the treaty of peace between
France, Austria and Sardinia were to have been
exchanged at Zurich on the 2lst November.
The French Government has issued letters of in
vtation addressed to the powers who signed the
Vienna treaties of 1885, and to three of the Italian
rulers to send representatives to Congress, for
the purpose of settling the Italian and other im
portant questions upon permanent basis.
The attitude of the French and English press is
daily becoming more and more warke.
The Congress it is expected will meet at Paris.
No date has, as yet, been mentioned for the meet
ing.
The London Society of Arts has inaugerated
movement for great exhibition in London in 1862
The Paris Bourse closed steady. The three per
cent. rentes closed at 69f. 95c.
The Emperor Napoleon is strongly opposed to
the Chevalier Buoncompagne assuming the Re-
gency of Central Italy.
1t is reported that Garbaldi has resigned his
command in the army of Central Italy, and Joined
the Sandman army, from which it is inferred he
also is opposed to the regency.
The London Times calls upon the Emperor Ma
poleon to put an end to the suspense in England,
by announcing the course he intends to pursue.

MISPLACED CoNFIDENCE.-A man named Joseph
Callahan was tried in Augusta, Georgia. last week
for negro stealing and found guilty. 1t appeare
in evidence that Callahan had promised a negro
belonging to Mr.. Pardue that he would run him off
and sell him three or four times, and divide the
profits with him. The slave appeared to assent to
the arrangement, but went forthwith and inform ed
his master, who laid plan to catch the rascal
Policemen were placed in stable where Callahan
was to meet the darkey, for it was a part of the
scheme to steal couple of mules also, and they
overheard Callahan distinctly repeat the promise
he had made. Then, when they took the mules
out of the stable and were about to mount, Gala
han was arrested. His punishment will probably
not be very light one.

GOLD DISCOVERIES ON THE SMILKAMEEN RIVER.
BY the overland mail we learn that gold has been
discovered on the Similkameen river in the Frazer
river region, by Sergeant Campton. The gold de-
posit is confined to small bar on the river, which
was being worked by soldiers (quartermaster's
men) and large number Of Indians. The men
from camp went down after breakfast. walking 3
distance of five miles, and working not more than
half day, averaged about $40 to the hand. This
was without the ordinary convenences for mining,
and with nothing but picks, using frying pans for
washing out. With rockers" it was estimated
that from $50 to 5000 to the hand could readily be
taken out.
The officers in command were very anxious to
conceal all knowledge Of the discovery, apprehend-
ing an immediate rush, that in the present condi~
ton of the country must be attended with great
privations. The nearest point at which supplies
necessary to the miner be obtained is Colville,
which is over one hundred miles distant from the
newly discovered mines. The Indians, too, were
represented to be decidedly hostile, and inas-
much as the troops were about to remove, miners
would be exposed to constant attacks from savage
foes.

sg~ We condcnse, from the "Vir-

The Chinese Sugar Cane,

In our last number our readers were
furnished with a valuable treatise on
the Sorghum, or Chinese Sugar Cane,
which, if they are wise, they will pre-
serve for future use. We deem this
plant Of great value, from which the
entire supply of mOlasses for the coun-
try, except in the extreme South, may
and ought to be produced, at price
cheaper than it can DO bought, and of
a quality, so far at least as purity is
desirable, incomparably superior. The
appetite for negromade molasscs and
sugar. according to our way of think
ing, is keen in proportion to the amount
of our Ignorance Of the manufacturing
process We do not see what there is
to prevent every farmer from cultivat-
ing an acre or two Of the Sorghum
and every neighborhood from having q
complete set of machinery for its man.
ufacture. Now is the time to take this
matter into serious consideration. The
planting season is approachng-and
it is of the first Importance to secure a
supply of good reliable seed.
We know gentleman of this yicn-
ity who has determined to give the
thing fair trial, and has requested US
to procure for him peck Of seed
Who can furnish it?

NO FUNDS.

The fact of an empty and hopeless
treasury starcs the nation in the face.
Troubles on our hands in several quar-
tiers; notes to pay and increased ex-
penses to meet; Cuba to buy & defend,
and not cent to our name or credit
on tho face of the earth. This is our
present brilliant and gratifying con-
dition. The Secretary of tho Treasury
addressed the Committee of Ways and
Means of the House, the other day,
stating that eighteen millions of dollars
in Treasury Notes would fall due before
the first of July, and that he had no
means of providing for them, present
or prospective. - Cincinnati Times.
