from the Mines-The Arkansas Diggings.

AOAA tAC NAAAGS-Ahc ArAAnBdB
We have been lately favored with the
perusal of several business letters from
the gold mines, which are full of inter
est. The dificultiesat Denver and Au-
raria promise to be protracted, and are
already driving large numbers of peace
able citizens to other localities. The
course of speculation and quarrels in
regard to titles has already set in, which
must speedily suspend the growth of the
two places, and remove from them the
active, enterprising and industrious class
ofpopulation.
From the South Park and the Arkan-
sas, the news is unusually favorable.
At Colorado City, Fountain City, and
other towns, the erection of houses is
proceeding with wonderful rapidity, and
the yield of gold surpasses that of any
leads yet discovered. The Southern
mines have already proved themselves
to be richer and more easily worked
than those of Gregory or Denver. The
Valley Of San Louis, still farther South,
and on the Mexican side of the Arkan-
sas, at the sources of the Rio Grande, is
being prospected with success, and
proves still more conclusively that the
farther South the prospecting is carried,
the richer the deposites 1t would not
surprise US, if before the next season
closes that the South Platte mines were
abandoned for the richer and more salu-
brious regions of the Southern mines.
The Valley of San Louis, as described
by Beale and Fremont, is the most lovely
mountain valley in the world, and Its
natural parks of forest trees, fountains
of purest water rich meadows and syl-
van beauties, fit it for paradise. There
is not on the globe such magnificent
mountain region as that of the Valley
of San Louis and its sister parks, and it
must be the Eldorado of the gold seek
ers hereafter.
The cold inhospitable climate of the
Northern mountains; the wild broken
and impossible nature of the country,
its short seasons and heavpmining, must
ever make it but a precarious region to
the miner; but the beautiful climate,
richer leads, abundant water, and fine
tillable lands of the Southern mines,
added to their superior and abundant
timber, must make them the center of
population and wealth. West. Jour. OF

RESOLUTIONS ON STATE AND FED.
ERAL RELATIONS.


We copy from the Eastern Clarion, a
Democratic paper published at Paulding,
Miss, the three first resolutions passed
by the Mississippi Legislature in refer
ence to proposed Southern Convention,
to take into consideration the tsirrepres-
sible conflict" question, and prepare
themselves for emergencies that may
arise from the selection ofa President
of the United States by one section Of
the Union
1st. Resozued, by tie Legislature of The
State Of Mississippi, That the Constitution
Of the United States recognizes property
in slaves, and the Government created
by it cannot, nor can any tribunal, act
ing under its authority, whether it be
Legislative, Executive or Judicial
with its appropriate sphere, justly with
hold from the owners of slaves that ade-
quate protection for their slave property,
to which the owners of property of other
kinds are entitled, or which from its ma :
ture they may further require to secure
them in its possession and enjoyment
I'd. That the election of a President
of the United States, by the votes of one
section of the Union only, on
the ground that there exists an IRE
pressible conflict between the two sec
tions, in reference to their respective
system of labor, and with an avowed
purpose of hostility to the institution Of
slavery as it prevails in the Southern
States, and as recognized by the com,
pact of Union, would SO threaten a de,
struction of the ends for which the Con.
stitution was formed, as to justify The szave-
holding States in taking counsel togethe,
for their separate protection and safety.
Sd. That in order to be prepared fel
such contingency, Mississippi accepts
the invitation of South Carolina to hel
sister slaveholding States to meet in Con
vention, and proposes the first Monday
in june next, and Atlanta, Georgia, as q
suitable time and place to meet to coun
sci together and recommend the action
they will take in such an event-whicE
action shall be reported tothe Governor
who shall convene the Legislature, if in
his judgment it may be required-and
that this Legislature at its present ses.
sion proceed to elect seven delegates to
attend the Convention at Atlanta, Geor.

Abating Nuisances in Kentucky.

The Grand Jury of Campbell county
found bills against about score of per-
sons for riot, in the destruction of W.
S. Bailey's. paper, the Free South. The
States Attorney hearing of this, argued
the matter before them, taking the
ground that it was the law that where
nuisance existed which could not be
reached by law, the people had right
to abate it. The jury sought the opin-
ion of Judge Moor on the question, and
he told them that it was the law; where
upon they reconsidered and quashed the
indictments. So the law is in Kentucky
that anything that is not in violation of
law, newspaper for instance, may be
destroyed by anybody who will declare
it nuisance. ga Daniel come to judg-
ment''! is that Judge Moor.-O. s.

Mr.. Rufin had inquired whether his
name was recorded, and the Clerk said it
was. Of these facts Mr.. Rufin was per-
fectly confident.
On motion of Mr.. Sherman, further
consideration of the subject was post
poned till tomorrow at o'clock.
SENATE.-The galleries were densely
crowded. and the heat was excessive.
Mr. Seward presented memorial of
the Legislature of Kansas, praying for
admission into the Union.
Mr. Seward then spoke, referring
briefly to the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise and its effects upon the Ter
ritory of Kansas. "s -'.. "Es
Immediately after that event the Whig
party went down, never to rise again,
and the Republican party was organized,
He spoke of the efforts of Democrats to
make Kansas slave State, and to force
it into the Union as such, and denounced
that party's efforts to mask itself behind
the battery of the Supreme Court.
He said the policy of the Republican
party was to stand by the freedom of
speech ana VI lHe press, lAe SPECIFY lm-
provement of the public domain by home
stead laws, and it will encourage mining,
manufactures and International COM
merce. He was no assailant of States: all
the States were parts of his own country.
He said it was we'll and wisely ar
ranged that the States were sovereign
on the subject of slavery within their
own borders. He said j ohm Brown and
his associates acted in earnest, through
fatally erroneous convictions. He pro-
nounced the act an act of sedition and
treason, and criminal in just the extent
that it affected the public peace, and was
destructive of human life. He did not
think anything serious would grow out
of the repeated threats to dissolve the
Union.

WASHINGTON, March, /


There were some noticeable points in
the debate in the Senate yesterday after
noon, which was protracted until half
past six o'clock. No sooner had Mr.
Seward concluded, than he was assailed
with great ferocity by Douglas and Da-
Wis. The former with his characteristic
insolence and impertinence, assailed the
Senator from New York, imputing per-
sonal motives and indulging generally in
those clap-trap arguments which may do
on tie stump, but are hardly suited to
the Senate Chamber, and were in marked
contrast to the dignifed and lofty tone
which distinguished Mr.. Stewards deliv-
cry. The Little Giant of course de-
Tended, with all the fuss of hen with
one chicken, his pet bantling-the Kan
as-Nebraska Bill-which he labored
very, hard to show was only the natural
sequel of the Compromise Measures of
1850.

Democratic Presidential Speculation.

The Kansas City Journal Of Com
n,erce, edited by R. T, Van Horn, favors
the nomination of Gen. 10. Lane, by
the Charleston Convention, and thinks
he is decidedly the man for the times.
Itspeculates as follows, making Doug
las chances for election slim, even if
he should receive the nomination:
''Suppose, for instance, distin
guished Senator of the North, Mr.. Doug
las, who it is said, will carry the whole
North western Democracy, should re-
-ceive the nomination at Charleston.
Admit that he carried into that Conven-
ton all the delegates from those States,
that is no evidence that he will be able
to secure their electoral vote in 1860.
Indeed, we know that some of those
States are hopelessly Abolitionized, and
that no Democrat, not even Mr.. Doug
las, can secure their vote. Then, on the
other hand, Mr.. Douglas would, in all
human probability, fail to carry some
sure Southern Democratic States, that,
with another candidate, could be set
down as certain We think we see in
this aspect of things the reason why
Greeley, in his late letter from the North
west prophecies the nomination of Mr..
Douglas. The "wish is father to the
thought" because, in that event, Gree
ley would have hope of a Republican
triumph.
Again, suppose some distinguished
Southern gentleman, with strong local
reputation-such man as Wise, Hun
ter, Guthrie, Cobb, johnson, or any
other of high character and standing
should be the nominee, he would aof
course receive the whole vote of the es15
Southern States, 120 votes) falling short
of an election by "a votes, and being an
insufficient number of States, if the
question should 60 into the House"
wThe Legislature of Michigan,
some months since, enacted law which
virtually abolishes the grand jury sys-
tenn, in allowing indictments upon infor-
nation Vermont has also passed an
enactment having the same end in view,
and the proper committee of the Wiseon-
sin Senate has been instructed, by an
unanimous vote, to bring in similar
! bill.
