Discovery OF Rich GOLD MINES EXPECTED ENrGPA
TIoN FROM CALIFoRNIA-FREE NEGRO EM1GRAr1oy
To THE MosQUITo SHORE.
GRENADA, Nc, March q, 1S6l-Editors of the
Delta Considerable excitement has been occasion
ed of late account of the discovery of new and
exceeding rich gold mines in the department of
Chantaes in this State. A general emigration to
the mines has been going for the past six weeks
and the reward of the labor of those who have
gone, proves that the reports are by no means il
lusory. During the past week over six hundred
ounces of the precious metal have been sold in this
place, to say nothing of that which has found its
way to Leon and San Juan.
The government of this country is certainly op-
posed to the entrance of foreigners into the coun
try, but the people at large favor immigrat alton,
there is not much likelihood of the mines being
disturbed Some such impulse as the discovery of
these mines has been greatly needed to influence
emigration to this rich and beautiful but unhappy
country. '
We are in receipt of news here of the arrival nm
the Mosquito shore of a body of one hundred and
fifty free colored people from New Orleans. More
are expected to join them presently. They have
come well prepared with provisions, implements
and arms, and have already commenced cultivat
the soil in locality near Bluefeld. Is then the
policy of Messrs. Wade and Seward to be realized.

PENSACOLA, Tuesday night, April 30.-I wrote
last night Of the desertiOn of two men from Fort
Pickens, and of their safe arrival on this side
They enlisted in the regular army of the United
States about five months ago. for the purpose, as
they were told, of serving the government against
the hostile Indians of Texas ana New Mexico new
er dreaming they would be called upon to use their
sabres and bayOnets against their own country
men. No protestation would move their officers
to give them an honorable discharge from the ser
vice of government which had viola ted its pledge
and falsifed its wOrd and they were forced to EN-
bark with their regiment Tor service at Fort Pick
ems. Before their arrival they meditated deser-
tion, with number of others. They had made
several attempts to escape, but thwarted from
one cause another.
Monday morning, after muster of the troops,
they srOlled along the beach several miles east OF
Pickens, when they discovered on the shore small
skih the property of some fishermen who had been
in the habit of camping the island previous to
the order of Gen. Bragg against drawing their
nets in that neighbOrhOOd 1t was a crazy old
affair and leaked badly from exposure. But they
had gone too far to look back, and resolved to
brave the dangers OF reaching the mainland, some
four miles distant. In quick haste the little boat
was launched; the wind and tide favored their
course, and with light hearts they stood for 'Deer
Point" Half way across the sound their boat fill
ed with water. Diyesting themselves of all cloth
ing, they swan for the shore, which reached
in safety. Soon afterwards the little Confederate
coast-guard sloop, on her daily cruise, discovered

the island at work; they taken from their
owners at Key West by force.

TIE PERMANENT CAPITAL OF TIE CONFEDERATE
SrArEs.-The Montgomery correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, writing under date of the
3Oth, says:
Among other things consider ed in secret session
of Congress, that of the location of the permanent
Capital of the Confederate States has come up. AS
desirable Montgomery is for the capital, in some
respects, am informed that none but the Alabama
delegates are in favor of its remaining here. I'm
doubtedly the delegates from each State will have
the claims of some favorite spot to present. and |
hardly think any thriving village in Texas would
receive fewer votes than Montgomery. What has
produced this feeling | unable to say, unless,
indeed, it be the high price of living, the enormous
rents, and the fabulous sums demanded for house.
lots. The cost of board here is unreasonable, and
continually the rise: but this must rise, also,
with provisions and household stores. Whether or
not this fact has been the means of driving the
Capital from Montgomery, am positively informed
that it will leave here in about one month.
