The telegraph has already informed our
readers that the President has given Gen Lane
permission to pick out thirty regiments for
his great Southwestern Expedition, and offer
ed him his choice in the premises. Gen. Lane
promptly determined to take none but West
crn men, and in his choice has been governed
onl y the condition TINT both officers and
men must be in hror Of vigorous and deter
mined warfare. The first regiment chosen
was the Mechanic Fusilcers at Camp Douglas,
whom lie intends using as pioneers. They
are to report at LeaycnHorth and to be paid
s1S per month, and forty cents extra per day
when engaged in their peculiar duties. Their
arms will be the Mimic rifle.
Col Brackett'a cavalry regiment, Col Bald
wins infantry regiment, and probably the
Lead Mine regiment, allat Camp Douglas, have
also been chosen. AS Gen, Lane does not
intend to conquer d place but once, will
not be hampered with instructions, and pro-
poses to be at New Orleans in april next, it is
a matter Of congratulation that so many Of our
finest regiments have been honored with a
selection. The particulars Of the expedition

would st once tnfuse confidence i9to all depart

but with prompt energy, and the West certainly
will vigorously eustaiu and approve their course.
Currency is not quite so scarce to-day. The de-
posts OF the city during all last week run down
fearfnl1y, some Of the banks paying an average Of
over 450cG0 day for several days together. Hence
the scarcity OF currency. The money WIS mainly
sent into the country to buy pork. It has now be-
gun to return In the ordinary course Of trade aud
besides supply was ordered from the eastern

the fact that the United States steamship Rich
monu, HOW fitting uut ut the port of New
York, was undergoing some changes in tie
arrangement Of her cabins, indicating the
probability that she was to convey some one
Of more Importance than her commanding Of:
Ulcers. 1t was sur1n1scd, TOO, that probably
her passenger would be Gen. Scott. 1 am
credibly Informed that in all probability the
Rlchmord will be dispatched to Vera Cruz, or
some other Mexican port, and that she will
convey Gen. Scott thus far on a Journey to
the Mexican capital It is hardly necessary to
say that the old hero goes accredited by tile
Government ut Washington with poweys OF n
delicate and responsible nature, and ttslt The
probable results Of his mission arc Of the
most important character 1t would not bz

Governments in the affairs Of this continent.
Wcult Ue rcadil y abandoned, OF that NC should
look with indifference upon the movements
OF France, England and Spain 1t seems
70 TO be the duty Of the people Of tic United

Which now threatens the permanent oecupa-
ton Of the seaports Of our sister Republic.
Ey The removal Of tie prctext for this w.lnton

Gen. Scott will be intrustc.i. His perfect
knowledge Of tic country, and Of the iealIn@
characteristics Of The pcople-thc high estcvm
i'll which he is held By them for his military
genius ;.i'd patriotism, will give him at once
the respect and the confidence of the Govern
Esent, and of the liberal masses who have sus-
tanned tue present Administration through

which now itnperil us. His experience aud

The Gold Fields Of NOVA Scotia.


a pamphlet has just appeared which is like
y to excite some interest among persons eH-
gagged in mining pursuits with capital. It has
been written By Dr.. Gesncr Of New York city,
wEo, it appears, was commissioned by gentle
men Of science and influence to explore the
gold regions Of Nova Scotia.
The gold has been discovered in quantities
along certain lines running parallel with the
Atlantic shore, where it is Of easy access, and
it extends to distance Of two hundred niles,
cast and west.
It occurs in the township Of Shcrbrooke, at
Tangier, also near Halifax, andat other places.
So far, according to the report, site near
Lunenburg, singularly called "Thc Ovens -
appears to be very rich in gold. The sands Of
the entire shore, and also the rocks Of small
peninsula, yield the precious metal, and GOV
ernmcnt las been called upon to lease every
square yard Of its s1ufacc. Small lots have
already been sold at high prices, and the
amount Of the precious metal produced in a
very short period is truly surprising
The colonial government has purchased a
small part Of the gold, with some flne nuggets,
to be displayed at the London Industrial Ex-
libition in March next.
The first sample Of gold from these new dis
eoyeries in Nova Scotia was received at the
Philadelphia mint on Tuesday. It's appear
ance in the natural state is that Of small fiat
tened grains, similar to the surface gold Of
California. There wns a loss Of about eight
per cent In melting. The fineness proved to
be s9s thousandths, which is very near the
standard Of our coin, making the yalue about
s17.10 per ounce Of native grains, OF 1856 in
the bar after melting.

nor ignored By the Government. The New

Whelm it beneath their boiling flood.
The loyal and true men Of the Union, the

demand that the Government shall give up
the fond hope Of turning the rebels back
with soft words; that it shall lay aside all
fear Of destroying rebel property, or rebel
lives; that it shall draw the sharp sword Of
justice, flashing before all eyes with Divine
splendor, and cut down, cast out, and utter
" destroy this poison trunk Of treason,
with all its roots and allits branches; that
men may once more have faith and trust
the Government; may revere next to the
Divine Rule Its sacred majesty and awful
power; and may see and tcel that no fate
