- The Htyt:tn empire appears at length to
have been overthrown. The latest inform,
alton is that Soulouque has taken refuge In
Jamaica and that the republic has been again
proclaimed That now ex-Emperor of Hay.
u was originally slave who attained mill
tary distinction during a negro ineurrection
which freed them from French rule. In ls47
he was elected President, but his ambit on
reached higher ard he assumed imperial
power, creating negro eristocracy with
pompous titles. He wps q tyrant, and his
interference with trade has caused his pres.
ent downfall. General Gefford is now the
President Of the newly proclaimed republic.
The revolution has been accomplished in
about three weeks without the sheddnp
OF blood. CT Gard was at first Joined by only
his son and two others, one of whom was
Frsnchman. He relied altogether for his
'uccesss upon the unPopularity of the En-
peror and the general dissatisfaction which
existed in regard to his government. He
has not been disappointed.

Congress-.

, There seems at last to be some little pros
peet that Congress will go to work in ear
nest The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Press says that Congress
appears disposed as the session draws Near
is close, 10 60 to work in earnest in relation
to the tariff, and the prospect that some in.
crease may be effected in the rate of duties,
appears to be daily improving. Itis clearly
demonstrated that large majority Of the
members Of the lower House are opposed to
authorizing any further loans unless stimuli
taneous provision is made for an increase oi
the revenues; and if this disposition contin.
ueS, II will be impossible for the operations
Of the Government to be continued without
calling an extra session. This contingency
iSalrendy freely spoken of, and it is suppos-
ed that il the present Congress atjourns with.
out taking some action upon the tariff, the
President will call an extra session, to as.
semble on the lst Of August
On the same subject the Washington Unicn
Of Tuesday, says:
II is believed that Congress will epply il,
self diligently to business during the remain
ing two weeks of the session, cutting down
expenditures with unsparing hand. and pass
ing such appropriations Os will suffice TO car
~ on the governmeIt until the next regular
session in December. Much of the impor.
tart business Of the public will have to be
laid over for the next Congress; and al.
though one branch OF thBt body will be un.
der the control of the opposition, it is hardly
possible that more embarrassment will be
experienced by the government from an
svowed opposition than is now encountered
from an actual though unuvowed one.
The great effort during the residue of the
session will be to reduce and cut down ex
penditures. There will doubtless be very
senrching scrutiny made into the provision.
Of'the appropriation bills yet to come on
and II is only to be regretted that the ap
propristions for legislative expenditures have
most OF them got through the House before
the retrenchiDg process commences in good
esrnest. Fos'tw or three years past the
expenditures for legislation and on the le.
gIslative building have been some five mil
lions OF dollars per annum, which is four or
hve times greater than they were ten or tif.
teen years ago showing a more ropid and
enormous growth Of extravaganza in the ex-
penditures. Immediately under the eyo Of
Congress than in any other department o.

E&ansns Gold Mlnes-Ecss Excit-
ing Accounts.

EAansns Gold Mines-Lcss Excit-
ing Accounts.
The Missouri Democrat publishes several
letters from the gold mines, giving accounts
which should cool off to some extent those
who have the gold fever. We publish one,
written by St. Louisian:
AuRAEIA CITY, X. T., Jan. 10, 1859.
Some persons have already commenced
working in the mines but so far it pays
poorly. Diggers who have been the most
successful have not averaged three dollars
per day, and some have not made fifty cents,
working hard at that. The gold is very fine.
1t takes from 20 to 25 PARTICLES to make the
value of a cent. The largest speck which |
have heard of will not weigh more than 25
cents in value. All the large humps that
you have received in st. Louis, as Pixies
Peak gold, were never obtained in this re-
gion-they belong 10 California. All the
accounts Of gold findings of an exiravagont
character are the fabrications of Spectators.

guard against these stories; especially Gen.

thal he does not know anything about the
matter. | have not found good prospect
yet; and am on the ground. | venture the
prediction that few persons will make for.

There are more than two hundred cabins
built here, and two hundred more are 10 be
erected before the last of March. A good
hotel will be ready for "the boarders" by
the end Of May. 1t is to be two stories high,
seventy five feet in width, and one hund ID
and twenty feet in length. Spectators are
already buslly engaged in laying off cities
around the dggings, and they are the iel.
lows who are sending to the States such
glowing accounts of gold discoveries.
If enough of gold is not found before the
latter part of May, many now here will 90

while not few will pitch their tents in this
new region for life.

affray going on about t~o squares from my

quarrel, and the report of pistols is distinct.

write you the particulars.
The principal amusement here. during the
winter. has been card playing, telling yarns,
and drinking most execrable whisky. The

Fatal Railroad Accident.

We learn from the Rochester Democrat
the particulars OF an accident which occurred
on the Willismsport and Emira Railroad on
Frid last. Some fifteen miles below the
former place, the train passed over broken
rail while running on curve dug into the
side of mountain. On the left was pre-.
cipitous declivty of seventy five feet to the
river. The engine and baggage car went
over the gap and kept the track, but the first
passenger car, in which were Col. Paine, the
Postmaster OF Rochester, and seven other
gentlemen, uncoupleI both in front and rear,
left the track end started down the preci.
pice. 1t turned over once and half in 90.
ing twiceits length, and then brought I'D
against come rocks. where it lay at an angle
of about forty five degrees, with the passen-
gers and all the fixtures in it, including the
stove, in promiscuous pile at the lower
end.
Colonel Paine writes that he clung to his
seat, and in all the leaping and olling of the
car, never let 60 his hold. Seeing the hot
stove coming down the aisle towards him,
he checked it with his foot and prevented it
from striking those below with as much vic.
lence as it would otherwise have done. The
car took fire before any of the passengers
could extricate themselves, but they finally
broke through the windows and made their
escape. Judge Lyman, of Corning, was se.
verely bruised, and Colonel Paine fears fa-
tally injured. A Mr.. Beebe, of Bath, was
al'o hurt severely, and young man from
Baltimore, who went into fits afterwards,
owing probably to the fright. A Catholic
priest, whose name is not given, was slight.
ly injured. In fact, nobody in the car, save
Colonel Paine, escaped. He did not get
scratch, but writes that he is a little sore
and lame.
