VIOLENCE AT Monday night,
the miners in and around Oroville, assembled
at the reservoir of the Feather River and
Ophir Ditch Company, and resolved by formal
agreement to tear the work down and de-
stroy it. Yesterday morning they commenced
the business, and finished the job in a very
short time. The damage is to the extent of
| at least ten OF fifteen thousand dollars, and
would seem to be very great outrage
Complaint has heretofore been made, W,

at Oroville, to take into consideration the
subject of the general health as connected

FREEDOM OF THE PREss.-The proprietors o.
the New Orleans Crescent, in July, 1851
refused to pay a tax of S75 on property in
vested in their newspaper establishment, on
the ground that it was exempt from taxation
under article l06 of the State Constitution,
the first clause of which reads "the press
shall be free" In lower Court the ground
taken by the proprietors of the Crescent was
sustained, but on an appeal the Supreme
Court reversed this ruling and deeFeed that
the defendants should pay one per cent
month interest as damages to the sggrieved
city, from the time of the refusal to pay the
tax

were 100000 pilgrims in 1857, lac, 1000
and in 1856. 10000. This great decrease
in 1859 is owing, the natives declare, to the

the dread of the cholera, which made extern

. WHO IS ABE LINCOLN!

Mr.. GOggin, late a candidate of the Amer.
lean party, for Governor of Virginia, in a
recent speech expressed his opinion of Mr..
Lincoln in the following language: We CON-
mend the remarks of Mr.. Goggin to the E.r-
press, and other Northern papers engaged
in the wretched work of intimidating weak
minded and timid men with the bugbear Of
disunion:-
There could be no danger of a dissolu-
ton of the Union, no matter who was elect
ed. During the whole course of my con-
nection with Mr.. LincolE in the House of
Representatives, 1 must say that | have
ever known him to be gentleman. He
is not what the Breck enridse party insinu-
ate him-to be. l wish to do justice on all
sides. (Ckeers.) If you want to know
who Mr.. Lincoln is, go and ask S. A. Doug
las with whom he stumped every county
in the State of Illinois. Cheers. Yes,

coin is a rail-splitter or not. loud Taught

maulcr or not. Continued laughter, and
cries of good. gOod.) 1t was my good for
tune, while was member of the House
of Representatives, to be on Committee
with him. l was Chairman, and | will
say that no man on that Committee worked
more industriously than he did. lie is
man of high order of talent, and when he
spoke no man was listened toby those who
were in that House. as visitors, with more
apparent satisfaction. His private as well
rs public character was free from stain or
Jlenish."

MRS. JONES.
EMIGRATION TO HAYTI.

The New Orleans papers contain some
interesting statements respecting the cmi-
grafton Of free blacks from louisiana to
Hayti. Since President Geffrards gov
ernment, which is now established on a
Solid basis. has made known to the black
people the truthfulncss of its promises and
the sincerity of its desire to give every IA
cility to the cmigrant who carries his labor
and capital to Hayti, emigration to that
island has assumed an unexpected magni-
tudc. Mr.. 4. l.. Boree. a native of New
Orleans, where he is highly esteemed, l.
acting as Geffrsrd's agent. lie has been
quite successful in organizing Systematically
the emigration, and Hundreds of free coler-
cd families, shipped by his care, within the
past two years. have settled on the rich
lands of Hayti, where they now live hap
PLY, enjoying certain, peaceful prosper
ity, and, by the influence of this example,
reclaiming that rich soil and initiating the
indOlcnt IIaytians to life Of industry and
enterprise.
The general opinion in New Orleans
seems to be that this emigration of free
blacks is highly beneficial to the interests
of the South: The remark has been made
that 'the voluntary expatriatiOu Of the free
blacks to IIayti can only be cOnd Ieive to
their welfare and to our own tranquility"
The emigration has attained such an iIn-
portance that steamer has been placed .
for Tie first time on the line between New .
Orleans and Hayti. She will continue
naaing regular trips, until, as cOntempla-
ted, she will be bought by the lIaytien Gov

GOLD MINES OF HAYTI-THE HID
DEN TREASURES OF THE SPAN.
IARDS.

The island undoubtedly has rich golC
mines still remaining unworked. Itis wei
known that enormous quantities of gol(
were taken from the Cibao range of noun
tains by the Spaiards, and there is no rea
son to suppose that the mines were ex
hausted. A recent writer on Hayti say:
that he saw two bottles full of gold dust
which had been gathered by hand by a
native from the sands of one Of the small
rivers. Other writer's mention similar facts
and all agrea that if properly worked the
mines would pay handsomely; it is even
possible that the refuse thrown aside by
the Spaniards would now, with improved
machinery, be reworked to advantage 1t
is curious fact that, although the Span
iards were many years engaged in working
the mines, and although historians tell
US that thousands of the Indians perish
Cd frsm excessive labor in their endeavOrs
to supply the eovetousneSs Of their masters
still many of the old mines are entirely
lost sight of and even their entrances can
not be discovered. 1t would be more pro-
per to say are not discovered, for no real
effort has yst been made to trace them.
1t is said that during the troubles with
which the country was eOnvulsed, the open
ings of some of the mines wers pnrposely
filed up and concealed. Earthquakes and
time have destroyed others, and others
again lie hidden in the thick underbush of
a tropical climate, in an almost unfrequen-
ted mountain REGION. Gold was found
by Columbus among the natives, and Ovan-
do, the Spanish historian. mentions block
of gold that was shipped to Spain, weigh
ing 5000 crswns. st. Remy mentions
that in 1905. during the wGr in Grand
Anse, a negro discovered a lead of the great
est richness In addition to gold there
have been recently discoveries Of silver and
mercury-the first of which is now under
the attention of the Government Coal
exists in abundance, especially in the
southwestern portion of the island. 1t has
also recently been found near the Cape,
but of inferior quality. Tin and copper
also exist, ths latter in abundance, AMI
there ar solid mountains Of iron, like thoSs
found in United States. Several gems
have been found, among others, emerald4
The mines are undoubtedly rich, but
apital and labor are wanting. Nature is
too bouutiful, and hence the inhabitants,
sustaining themselves without labor, can
not easily be induced to work, even at
high wages.-COrrcspOndent of the y. Y.
