HUMBoLDT-A correspondent of the Silver
Age, in communication to that paper, says ::
Many new ledges have been struck recently
in that section, some of which rival the best
that have ever been opened in any country
Accompanying the letter were some specimens
from the Cuba ledge, a new discovery, that in
all respects resemble the California quartz
Amalgam obtained from this rock, would be
worth probably fourteen or fifteen dollars
per ounce, as it is comparatively free from
base metals. Royaltown is the name of new
town now springing up in the vicinity of the
Prince Royal ledge, and is supposed to contain
some one hundred and fifty inhabitants, all ac-
lively engaged in mining, with brilliant pros
poets.
The Age, further says: We are informed
by friend just in from this section, that the
citizens of Humboldt are so confident of their
prospects, that they are about to take mea-
sures for the establishment of local paper, at
Humboldt City, to be called the Humboldt
Times. They feel confident of their ability
to sustain an institution of the kind. Eight
miles from the river, number of ranches have
been located, and improvements commenced
with view to permanent settlement both
soil and climate are admirably adapted to ag-
ricultural purposes. The Indians are quiet,
and peaceably disposed the absurd rumors
lately in circulation at Virginia, Silver City
and Carson, are totally without foundation

" Providentially Directed. ;

Devoutly inclined persons frequently imagine
that the suggestions of their own human nature
are the intimations aud directions of God.
They love TO be guided by Him, and they
love to think that their pleasant desires and
purposes are inspired by Him, thus they easily
deceive themselves. An amusing instance OF
this took place at a certain conference. Among
the attendants was very beautiful, intelligent
looking young lady, who drew the admiring
gaze of many eyes, particularly eyes masculine,
always on the lookout for pretty feminine
faces.
During the intermission, at noon, spruce
young minister stepped up TO the presiding
elder, and said, with an air of secrecy
Did you observe the young lady who sat
by the first pillar on your.left? ?"
Yes said the elder; what of her ?"
Why" said the young man, feel i'm
pressed that the Lord desires me to take that
lady for my wife. think that she will make
companion and helpmeet in the work of the
ministry"
The good elder had nothing to object.
But in q few moments second youthful
candidate for ministerial efforts and honors,
and for the name Of husband, came confiden-
TALLY to make known to the Elder like i'm
preston in regard to the same young lady.
You had better wait awhile 1t is not
best to be hasty in determining the source of
such impressions" said the prudent elder.
And he had well said, for hardly were the
steps of the second youth cold at his side, ere
a third one approached with the same story,
and while the worthy confdant yet marveled
fourth drew near with the question
Did you notice the fine nobelooking wo-
man sitting near your left hand? ?"
Yes" cried the swelling Elder.
Well, sir" went on this fourth victim of
that one unsuspicious girl, sit is strongly borne
in upon my mind that it is the will of the Lord
that l should make proposals Of marriage to
that lady He has impressed me that she is to
be my wife"
The Elder could hold in no longer.
Impossible impossiblen' he exclaimed in
an excited tone "The Lord neuer could hare
intended that four men should marry one aro-
man !'
Cosr OF A PILGRIMAGE TO MEccA.-One Of
the queen mothers of the Turkish court being
desirous of making pilgrimage to the holy
city" of her religion, instead of going by the
usual Travelled routes, which would have made
her journey pleasant and not very expensive,
preferred to go the whole way by land, cover
ing distance of 1000 or 1900 miles, three
fourths of it over sandy deserts where every
comfort and luxury to which she was accus-
toned in the seraglio was to be conveyed upon
the backs Of camels, accompanied by suit of
two hundred, including eunuchs, pipe-bearers,
cooks, carpet-spreaders, and heaven knows
what besides. This loyal victim Of bigoted
ostentation, performed her weary journey over
those desoate wastes, bringing back with her
probably some baskets of holy earth from
Mecca, few bottles of bitter water from the
fountains of Zem-Zem, and small bill for the
Turkish treasury to pay, amounting to S270,-
900. This makes it rather expensive for even
the faithful" to get to heaven from Constan-
tinople uid Mecca.

ST.. ANTHONY SLAVE RESCUE CASE
Last summer. negro servant, named
Eliza Winston, the property Of Colonel
Chrisman, of Mississippi, was taken from
her master, while temporarily sojourning
near Minneapolis. for the benefit of the
health of his family. It was alleged, and
we believe with truth. that the servant was
induced to leave kind and indulgcnt mas
ter, and an invalid mistres, by the solicita-
tons and. promises Of certain notorious
abolitionists, who soon after her rescue,
threw her upon the charity Of the commu-
nifty. A fitting commentary on this whole
business we find in the Sank Rapids Era,
Republican journal. which states that II
letter mad been received at St. Anthony,
from Col. Chrisman, stating that Eliza
Winston, rescued last summer from her
master, Col. Chrisman, near Minneapolis,
has begged her way back to her master in
mississippi and is again at her old home
in the South. minus everything save very
thankful heart" The Era adds:--"If this
report is true, Of which we have no doubt,
what must he now thought OF those affida-
Wits alleged to have been made by her. Can
any one now tell which Eliza rrcfers-the
South or tie North--SlaverY or Free
dom?' ~

HUNTERS SSEEI,lE.

The gist Of Senator Hunters speech,
which was made on the 18th inst, seems to
be contained in the following proposition
which is certainly striking if not original.
would provide that each section should
elect President, to be called the first and
second President, the first to serve for four
years, and the President next succeeding
him to servo for four other years, and at:
forwards to be re:cligible. During the term
Of the First President, the Second should
be President Of the Senate, having casting
vote in case of a tic. No treaty should be
valid which did not have the signature OF
both Presidents and be sanctioned by two
thirds OF tho Senate. No law should be val.
id which was not signed by both Presidents,
or, in the event of a veto, be passed by the
sanction Of majority of the Senators from
the section from which he came. And no
officers should be appointed unless with the
sanction of both Presidents, or the sanctio,
Of majority Of the Senators from whence
they are appointed.
