EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.

CAMP SrML-KA-MEEN, Oct. 8, 1859.
am detached with IA men at
the n. W. B. station on the 81 milka-meen,
about 3 miles from its mouth. On
the 9th, my Sergeant showed me the re-
suit Of six pans which he washed, and we
found it to be worth Sc. On the 7th, two
men obtained 500 each others from S. to
SIS. We have no tools or conveniences,
and the men know but little about digging
gold. l give you the simple facts, and
shall make no comments. 1t is
much coarse gold than any found on Fra
ger river, some pieces weighing 50 SO.
This river is very incorrectly mapped, as
it is hundred and fifty miles long, with
numberless tributaries 1t is swollen
mountain torrent till the middle of July,
so that it is late before it can be worked.
1t is my opinion that this gold was washed
out of the hills contiguous, this year, as
these dggings thus far have been on the
surface only You know that gold will al
ways, if you give it time, fnd its way to
the bed rock do not know that they
will be developed soon as we shall leave
here in ten or twelve days, and it will not
be safe for a small party to attempt to
mine. These Indians want severe thrash
ing, and then the country can be travelled
with safety. Our command has kept them
civil, otherwise there would have been the
devil TO pay as usual.

= As many gold-fevered letter,
were doubtless dispatched by the regular
mail, it may be important to the exciteablt
population Of your city, to have correct &C
counts from the diggings. 1t is true thai
rich placer, yielding from $40 to $50 q
day to the hand, has been discovered, ten
miles above the forks-but the gold is con.
fined to a single locality, the extent Of
which is not more than 25 by 10 yards.
White, whom l sent out to prospect the
stream for four or Eve miles above and be
low the placer, has failed to find it in re
munerative quantities at any other point
1t seems to be the opinion of experienced
California miners that, rich as the placer
is, it will be worked ont in less than two
weeks, and that there is no more gold or
the river worth mining.
mention all this in order to prevent
men who may have heard exaggerated &C
counts from coming this fall. Possibly
next spring or summer, miners might comt
and discover something better, but to CONT
from the Dalles now would end in nothing
but suffering and disappointment.

in the mountains of this Territory, and ex

many expeditions which went out last
spring.

ESCAPED AND RE-TAKEN.-The woman
Rice aud her pimp, better known about
here as "Mr. & Mrs. Blaze" having under
gone an examination before Justice REED,
on Friday last, charged with taking $3.50
from poor Frenchman, were>each held to
bail in the sum of $500, conditioned upon
their appearance at the next term Of the
District Court. Failing to give the re-
quired security, the parties were commit
ted to the custody Of the city marshal and
county sheriff. On Saturday evening they
were placed in charge of Mr.. Huson, aud
permitted to occupy their former quarters,
Mr.. II. remaining with them, But, Judge
Of our surprise, when on Sunday morning
we were informed that the culprits had
flown during the night, having taken pass
age in q whitehall boat for down Sound
somewhere. This fact was ascertained
from the disappearance Of the boat from
the beach where she had been Boored.-
With a zeal highly commendable, Mr..
KENDALL, Esq, who had prosecuted them
beforeJnstce REID, procured the appoint
ment of Mr.. NowLIN, mate of.the steamer
COlnmbia, as special constable to re-arrest
the parties. He proceeded Immediately
down the Sound, overlook the flown birds'
at Seattle, and returned with them yester-
day morning on the steamer Julia. They
are now safely lodged in the block house,
and we are assured by the marshal they
shall be closely guarded hereafter.
Mr.. NowLIS informs US that on proceed.
ing to arrest the panderer to the woman's
lusts, the rogue made q movement as il
about to draw a weapon upon him; but as
this gentleman is a man not easily to be in,
timidated, he took him Notwithstanding his
menaces. On searching him, Mr.. N. found
a gold watch, recognized BY parties as the
same which was taken from q man named
Smith some time since, and two revovers
and 10 the woman's trunk was found third
revolver. They are most unquestionably
desperate characters, apparently indifferent
10 their condition.
To show the audacity of the woman, VIC
are told by Mr. N. that she seemed to be
much surprised at being re-taken, saying
that she had paid 5000 to the marshal and
keeper to procure her escape, and that the
guard which had been set over them had
actually assisted 10 conveying her trunks
to the boat. OF course nobody believes
this story.
As we have no faith in the capability oil
the cell in which they are confined to keep
them long, we will describe them as near as
possible, for the good of the public: The
woman is large and fair, walks very erect,
and as brazen in her looks as the brazen
serpent. She is said to be of Scotch de.
scent, with q strong Scotch accent in her
speech. The man is full faced, rather fair,
and thick set, wears a mustache, light hair,
which is closely cut. He will be easily recog
nized, looking very much like one who had
made narrow escape from the gallows-
He was ordered out Of San Francisco by
the vigilance committee for a multitude Of
misdeeds, and was one of the pall-bearers
Of the suicide Yankee Sullivan. His name
is said to be Matthew Rice, and is thief
by profession

Position aud Triumph Of the Rescuers.
That able and influential paper, thc Ohio
State journal, has pursued a manly course IN
the contest between the Federal authorities
act , under the tyrannieal Fugitive Slave Act,
and s,e prosecuted citizens Of Oberln. It has
stood by them and the sovereignty Of our State
aud in announcing the final discharge Of the
Rcscuers we'll says, that " throughout oil their
trials, these victims Of an infamous law, which
has been UNANIMOUSLY administered, have borne
themselves like men,
The Rescuers refused to accept liberty on
terms which seemed to them dishouorable, and
the result shows that they were right in main
tanning their position that the record Of the
Court had been falsifed, and in refusing to
make any admission to the contrary, even
though tempted to do so by the prospect OF re-
lease. They refused to yield this point, aud
they now have their reward The legal rack,
and the most cruel and heartless of government
inquisitors, could not extort from them a single
admission which would compromise their man
hood or their integrity Says the Journal
Their release, under the circumstances, is q
grand triumph Of the citizens of a government
theoretically free, over an attempt TO turn that
government into practical despotismOl which
they were TO have been made the victims. The
contesti between the federal authorities and
these imprisoned fellow citizens appeared to be
an unequal one. The government with all it's
power aud its patronage, with its partizan
courts and partizan officials and juries, and
with law specially contriyed with most ma.
lignsnt ingenuity for purposes Of oppression
aud outrage, not only npUn the slave, but upon
the freeman, had apparently all the chances Of
success in its favor The other parties TO the
contest were imprisoned citizens, without pow
er OF prestige or patronage; but in their appar-
ent weakness their moral strength was invinci-
bic. They were all powerful, in their yield
ing convictions Of duty, aud in the courage to
stand by those convictions at all hazards Be-
iIr such resolution, such heroic irmnt Sc, the
executors Of hated law paused in the very
act Of lie enforcement, and with unwilling
bands crowned as victors those whom they
had marked as victims.
In this event, not only the rescuers, but cv.
cry tree citizen of Ohio has reason to rejoice.
la the imprisonment of the rescuers, as in all
prosecutions under the Fugitive act, the re-
served sovereignty Of the State of Ohio, aud
the rights Of It's citizens were violated and in
their release, without concession on their part.
these rights have been substantially vindicated
All honor to the men, who by so great person
al sncriice, have achieved for us as well as for
themselves, so important a triumph
