FROM CARBoo.-We have received letter
from Mons b. DefIis dated Quesnelle river, May
10th. The letter contains little of interest, as
the matters referred to have been time and again
mentioned within the past few months. The
charge for carrying letters from the Quesnele TO
Victoria is So, and newspapers cost So 50-
Meals are So, aud very common at that at Ant
Ter creek 45 miles hi CHER up the charge is So so.
At that place -four sells at 81 pound tea, ST ;
bacon, s so sugar, 81 so dried apples,
81 so. Mr.. Defls advises no man to go their
without money for merchants will not credit any
one. The diggings as general thing do not pay.
Some few companies have made fortunes, while
thousands have left poverty stricken, and heart
sick Among the lucky ones last year was Mr..
Abbott, formerly of North Fork, in this county.
Mr. d. is reliably Informed that he left Williams
Creek with $4,000. About one thousand men
we're in the mines in May, and crowds were
arriving daily. One man packed In pair OF
rubber boots, and heing dead broke sold them
for $50. 1t was the only pair in the dggngs.

FRoa FLORENCE CtTY.--Jack Mason allows us
to make somo extraoto from a letter written by
W. II. Smith, formerly of this place, dated
Florence City, W. T., August 10th:
Mr. Smith sailed from San Francisco, May 8tb,
aud went direct to Victoria, where he says he
saw Phil. Lamey, who with four others had de
serted from Crownnshield's s company a week be
fore. Returned to Portland, aud thence went to
Florence City direct. Gives a very glowing de-
scrption of bis recognition Of, aud interview
with Bob Stuart at Lewiston knew him when
be spoke, and only then Arrived at Florence
the lgth of June. He tells the old story of pay
ing diggings being confined to about three miles
square of the basin. and they are nearly worked
out. He believes that not one man in fifty will
take away much money US he carried there
and knows that the fabulous stories are all in
vented by interested parties. He had watched
the gold dust buyers on Sunday, and knows that
u very small amount of dust was offered for sale.
Smith had prOspected a month in the basin,
n the ravines and in the mountains, without sue
cess. but by way of consolation had all the trout
and gOoseberries he could eat. Tom Small was
at Elk City, mining on the Clearwater. Frank
Payne was doing good livery stable business at
Florence. Saw Dave Lyons, who had nearly re-
covered from his late wounds.
1t is evidently pleasant place to live. Ol
the Sd of July it showed nearly all day. On the
9th of August snow fell to the depth of two
inches, and the surrounding mountains looked
very much as Old Bally does in mid Winter.

If some very intelligent and closely

RAILROAD 0UTRAGE.--We have been
informed that as the Sunday evening
train from Columbia was passing near
the residence of John Overton in this
bunty, il was thrown from the track by
an obstruction laid across the rails
There were on the train several sick SOL
dINrs. The indignant passengers visited
their wrong upon Mr.. Overton by burn
ing his barn and quariering for the night
in his house. He has, as it is well
known, been prominently connected with
the rebellion, and has contributed large
ly of his immense wealth TO its support
He is understood to have escaped few
days ago to avoid an arrest for treason,
a Warrant having been issueds for that
pnrDBse We do not know what circum-
stances connected him with the outrage
in the minds of the injured passengers.
VA arrest has been made, and the matter
