A correspondent writes to us from Denver City,
under date Of February 29th Of trip to the " new
gold diggins reported to have been discovered
at the base of the snowy range Of mountains. The
substance of the letter is that general rush to the
new mines had taken place. There were amazing
stories told of the riches Of the new discoveries
He was not the first OF the impurtunnte crowd Of
Fprospectors. The mines are in what Is known "a
the Wisconsin District. When he arrived there fhe
country was buried in snow from two 10 Eve feet
in depth. While they prospected the snow con
tinued to fall, and was soon from three TO fifteen
feet deep. Those who were first on the ground, or
rather in the snow, claimed all the main gulches,
far they could get for the snow, and then set
up marks "claimed toithe top of the mountains''
Our correspondent says of one company They
staked off all Of the two main guches for their
henefit-the right hand gulch they staked up as
far as they could walk through the snow, and then
wrote ON the side of tree claimed to the top Of
the mountain and they also staked Oh up the
main or left hand gulch as far as they could pos
sibiy travel, and then wrote on tree claimed
from this tree to Carson Valley.'n
The company to which our correspondent Was
attached found guch unoccupied, and upon Dip
ping down to the bed rock, found the Color
and set up claims.
The letter Is closed with p. S., saying that ex-
citing news had just been received Of guich claims

lang o't.n IAndrew Fairservice.
General --, member Of the present General
Assembly of Alabama, has body servant who has
been his property for many years, and to whom he
is greatly attached. This boy has vice-thnt Of
drunkenness-and his master has endeavored Ia ev-
cry manner to break him of it. Just before the ad
journment of the Legislature, Nath got upon what
is termed a big BUST and the General was de-
priyed of his services for considerable time, when
they were very much needed. He waited for the
boy to get perfectly sober, and assuming very
stern and determined expression of countenance,
and with great severity of tone, he told him he
could tolerate his outrageous conduct no longer.
Here.n continued the General, giving him a
folded document, here are your free papers
henceforth you are your own master. Get out Of
my room at once. will make provision to-day to
send you to the Morrill, 81 "a
The boy was taken all aback. The big tears
commenced rolling down his saba cheeks. He said
he did not want to be free--he didn't want to be
free even and stay at home. But to be turned
loose by his master and sent among those rascally
abolitionists, was more than he could bear. He
promised faithfully to get drunk no more, if his
master would take him back, and We believe he
has kept his word. sS.ss
