Mono LAKE, July llth, 1860.
EDToR DENocRAr: We arrived at this
point in our line of travel yesterday, passing
through the village Of MonoviIs and the
mines adjacent. That there are rich gold
mines here is conceded by all who are ia
miliar with this country, and the miners gen
orally are doing very well, counting their
days sluicing by the pound rather than the
ounce.
Dust here sells at $l4 to SO per ounce, be-
ing mixed with silver and copper.

gon SO large mining town as Monoville,
there being some where in the neighhorhood
ofa thousand men in the village and vicinity
There are a few families here this season.
The snow is still deep on all The direct routes
from this place. Across the Sierras the pack
trains have made their way over, and pro-
visions are not high. The town, in its busi
ness capacity, is somewhat scattered and the
heavier dealers conduct their operations III
canvas tents wherever they unpack their
mules Perhaps in speaking of the hedrier
dealers, | ought to except saloon keepers
who are the heaviest operators here, whether
estimated by the calibre of their wares or the
number of their customers. They are mostly
kept in comfortable wooden buildings, mot
the customers but the saloons,) and | noticed
that some of our boys who had passed un-
scathed through all the battles Of the Pah.
Utah war, fell at about the second discharge
from the heaeier ordnance of Moaovilie.
Spring still fingers lovingly around our
camp fires, and from present appearances she
will be our travelling companion while we
remain in this elevated mountain region
We had thunder storm last night, followed
by gentle April rain that lasted till this
morning, and the lowering clouds admonish
US that the rain is not yet over.
The wild fruits of the mountains are but
fairly in blossom, and the heavy SHOWS that
still hug with icy arms the Sierra, should re
mind them of the necessity of hurrying up
their fruit before the autumn frosts shall have
cut short the labors of the season.

agreeing with Douglas on an abstract and
undecided question, that paper still supports
him as the regular nominee. The only differ
ence between the Express and the Beacon is,
that they both promised to support the regu~

and the Beacon has kept its word while the
Express has not. The public can Judge

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN INDIANA.-The
Shelbyville (Ind. Banner of the 9th inst.
relates the following revolving tragedy:
An old man named George Hauk, liv-
ing alone with hiswiie in small tenement
about one mife and half east of Marion,
in this county, and about five miles from
this place, were found on Sunday last
amid the ruins of their dwelling, which
had been consumed during the night
An inquest over the remains of the bodies
revealed the horrible fact that the old
people were the victims of most diabol-
ical and cold-blooded murder. The old
man was almost totally consumed, but
the upper part Of the body of his wife was
covered under large quantity of brick
from the chimney, which protected that
portion Of her body from the fire. Her
throat was found to be cut, her chest clov-
en- open in two places with a sharp instru-
ment, and her skull broken open. An
AK and hatchet, with the handles burnt
OIL, were found near the bodies, and there
were evidences OF severe struggle. They
were known to be in possession of con
siderable sum of money, all of which the
assassins secured, except about 1855, which
was concealed among the wheat in the
loft in tin coiiee-pot, and which remain
ed covered up and was preserved. The
perpetrators were doubtless aware that
these people had money, and after secur.
ing it set the house on fire to destroy the
evidences OF the foul and atrocious deed.
Mr.. Hauk was German by birth, served
seven years in Bonaparte's army, was in
Spain under Marshal Ney, fought battles
in Italy, and traversed the whole cont.
nent OF Europe to Moscow as an infantry
soldier. lie was 10 years of age, and his
wife but few years younger.

A Washington letter to the Charleston
Courier, Breckenridge paper, gives us the
following in regard to the Illinois Rail-
mauler:
Washington, Oct. Ii, 1860.
There is current rumor that Abraham
Lincoln is vet desirous of an opportu-
nifty to dAclam in public, as he has done
in private,some of the views and designs
that have been enormously imputed to
him, as he says, both by political friends
and opponents. 1t is reported that he
intends, after the election, If he be elect
ed, to caIse to be published statement
to the effect that he intends to admitiist
ter the government in strict conformity
with the Constitution, aid with the
strictestregard for the rights of the South.
lie will deny that he is in favor of the
abolition Of slavery in the District of Col
umbia, or of the suppression'of the inter
, state Slave Trade, or the repeal of the
EYgitiao Slave Law.
AccoFi1ngte the views presented by
Mr.. Yancey, in his interesting speech at
the Cooper institute meeting in New
York, the withdrawal of some or all of
the Southern States from the Union will
take place, when the rights of the South
shall be violated in either of the above
mentioned particulars. The refusal of
Congress to admit any new Slave States
into the Union, will also be an adequate
cause, and that contingency is already
provided for by law of tho State of
Georgia.
