TuE CARIBBOO MIAEs.-The British Colo
NIT. published at Victoria, in its issue OF
June I7th. says oflhe Cariboo mines:
The concurrent testimony Of all is that Carl
boo is the richest country on the globe. AT the
last accounts (JuHe 3d) the miners had not been
able to omen and work their clailss. The de-
hy is owing to the melting snow raising the
water in the creeks. Considerable prospecting
had been done, but up to the last of May, the
slosh,-rain and snow-greatly Obstructed al
operations; in fact no such thing as thorough
prospee citing could be done till the snow disap-
peared and the water fell i'll the creeks. July
will be well advanced before the miners can
fairly get to work; and not till August can we
anticipate any very hgge receipts of gold from
Carboo. Then it wiz flow IN, increasing in
volume cilT winter steps in and stops the wash
ing Of pay-dirt. The number of miners IN Car
iboo up to the last of May were estimated at
about 1000, and there were as least Z,0OO more
on the way up. Our special correspondent
writes that the scarcity of provisions was Likely
to cause considerable number to return.
With the exception of temporary scarcity
of provisions and the want of funds to last the
miners till they open their etaIrns, we can as
sure our readers, both at honge and abroad,
that the aeeoaRts from Caribou are as fayoT-
able as the most aFdent gol0-seeEeT eOulu WISH
Were 500 croakeIs-a class of men who infest
all mining localities everywhere-to return to-
day, it would not alter our convictions one iota
as to the extent, durability and richness Of the
Cariboo mines.
Notwithstanding The assertion that Scar
iLoo is lbe richest country on The globe" "
it is evident from other statements that the
mines had not even been thoroughly pros
pected, and cannot be until the latter part
Of July and August. It seems never to have
occurred to the British editor that the
scarcity of provisions" was owing to "the
want Of fphds," aud the lack or good Dig
gngs was the principal cause Of the miners
having no money.

NEW ROAD TO THE HUMBOLDT MINES
The Colusa Sun says that Major Bidwell is en-
gagged in opening road from his Landing, on
the Sacramento river near Chico, to Honey
Lake Valley, via Big Meadows, with view to
securing for that roHte the trade and travel to
the Humboldt mines, and also to make the
route such as will induce the immigration over
the Plains to take it in preference to any other.
About 30 men are now employed on the road.
An easy grade viii be established. The advan-
tages claimed for BidwelPs road over others are
a saving in distance, and superior water and
grass for animals,

phia Inquirer, dated June 4th, says our

dead on the battle field. From list Of

CHARLEsToN.-There has been consider.
able fighting 10 the vicinity of Charleston,

Of James Island, and according TO the &C.
counts brought to New York by the steam

cry engagement aud carried several bat

fears that the city would be captured.

ARREST OF LADIEs.-The wife and daugh-
ter of prominent officer of the Senate
we're arrested at Washington on the 9th
ult. While passing the old Capitol prison,
in which were confined the rebel prisoners,
one of them raised her handkerchief TO her
face, and pressed it several times with ra'
pidity over her mouth. This movement
was observed by the guard, who stopped
the carriage and requested the ladies to
aiight On being conducted to the guard
room, they were Informed they were under
arrest for violating public order prohibit
tory of any waving Of handkerchiefs, or
making any other sign likely to be inter-
preted as a signal to the prisoners. The
lady stated that she had been eating oran-
ges, aud was merely wiplng her mouth,
whereupon they were released, on prom
ise to be careful not to violate the rule
again. The order is imperative on the Of
Ulcers to make such arrests.

Gray's Elegy in a Country Church
ward.

From its first appearance, a century ago, to the
present day, this poem has been deemed one of the
best specimens of English verse. II is said to have
been for many years under correction and improve
ment and perhaps it would never have seen the
light but for the publication of a copy surrepti-
tiOusly obtained. 1t passed, at once, to its perma-
nent place in English literature. The call Of Mr..
Webster for it on his dying bed is very naturally
associated with similar incident which preceded
the death of Wolfe. That commander reduced to
straits by the dilatory movements of Amherst on
Lake Champaign and the failure Of JohnsOn's CO.
operation was under the necessity Of failing alto
gether, or of achieving victory by the bOldest en-
terprise. Just recovering from illness. and with
strength only sufficient for imperative business he
conceived the design Of landing his troops beneath
the Heights Of Abraham, and Of ascending by
winding path, scarcely wide enough to permit two
to walk abreast. Drawing the attention OF the
French to other points, he collected as many boats
us he could, without exciting suspicion, for the
embarkatiOn Of bis troops At one o'clock in the
morning, on the 18th Of September the night dark,
and the tide flowing in the favorable direction, he
suddenly gave the order to embark. Silently,
swiftly, the boats moved upon the tide, every mind
occupied with the thought Of the dawn and its
work. NowOrd was spoken. Wolfe alone, bend
ing to the officers near him, broke the stiffness,
repeating stanzas Of Gray's Elegy. What stanzas
is not known. One was,
"The boast Of heraldry, the pomp Of power,
And all that beauty. all that wealth s'er gave,
Await alike the inevitable hOurI-
The paths Of glory lead but to the grave"
How prophetic! Wolfe himself was, at that
moment, in the path Of glory and on the day about
to dawn It led to the grave! When be had finished
the recitation, he said: Gentlemen would pre-
fer being the author Of that poem to the glory Of
