Letter from Florence.

FLORENCE, July D, 1862.
EDS. STATESMAN The time-honored fourth
of July is past and leaves about the little town of
Florence the remembrance that the only patriotic
demonstrations INDUCED in on that day was dog
fight for a wager of S 900, and concert in the
evening by Miss Rand. | wish to cast no re-
Elections of disloyalty on the masses in and about
Florence, for l am fully convinced that the Union
sentiment is almost unanimous but that there is
a tardiness and absolute lethargy~ peryading the
miners hereabouts in respect to Governmental af-
fairs is certain. The headlong zeal after the
yellow gold seems to be paramount to every other
consideration. IF | can only make my Pile
can afford to let my mind be dormant to every
thing else for while" seems to be the feeling in
general
Our election, which takes place on the 18th, is
scarcely spoken of, and only few of1ice-seekers
and wire-pullers seem to know anything about it..
Under the existing state of affairs it will be mat
ter Of no surprise if this county is represented by
a few willy demagogues foisted upon the people
through the medium of bar-room oungers and
gamblers. At all events, can but hope that this
county will do her duty better than indications
now seem to promise.
Horse-stealing seems to be the order OF the day
about the different ranches in this region. Thir-
ty-three head were taken from a ranch at the
mouth Of Slate creek at one time about ten days
ago, and taken, it is supposed, to Cariboo. Let
Walla Waans keep vigilant eye out for these
characters.
Provisions, and everything in fact brought into
the mines for sae has fallen in price nearly one
half from rates of two weeks ago.
All reports of new diggings up to this date,
have exploded. Parties prospecting on the south
side OF Salmon are full of hope and expect to find
it there. Yours &C., R. G. LEwEs.

Letter from Lieut.. Mullan.

Mayor Whitman, of this city, has fur
nished us the following interesting letter
from Lieut. John Mullan, dated Miner S
Camp on American Fork, Hellsgate River,
June 25th, 1862:
E. B. WHITMAN, Esq.-Dear Sir; It gives me
pleasure to inform you of the arrival at Fort Ben
ton of the four steamers. Key West, Isabel, Emu
he and Spread Eagle, from St. Louis with three
hundred and fifty passengers on board en- route
for the valleys of Walla Walla, Bitter Root and
Deer Lodge. Many came provided with their
carriages, ambulances and wagons, and purch as
ing animals, have already started for their new
homes on the Pacific These boats made the trip
through from ST. Louis to Fort Benton in thirty
two days. and will make the TIP over the new
military wagon road in forty days to Walla Walla.
The Isabel winters at Fort Benton and will
start for St. Louis on the opening OF navigation
in the coming spring. The Emile has returned
to ST. Louis to make another trip this season.
Many of the leading merchants of St Louis have
come up, and large house is established at the
head of navigation on the Missouri, all intending
to compete for the trade of the mines now known
to be rich in this section. Rich gold mines exist
at the point whence | now write you. They are
on the line of the military road where it crosses
the American Fork. | have visited them myself,
and have seen the gold taken out at the rate of
six and eight dollars an hour | actually picked
the gold out of the sand with my fingers. All the
claims that are open are paving well.
Rich mines have Just been discovered at Chief
Mountain Lake, where the British are establish
ing two forts; one for two and one for five compa-
nies of troops. The American Fur Company have
fitted out train for this region. | have never
ceased to feel sangune that this sactioH. so little
known, would eventually be open to the energy
and industry of the settler and miner and al
though our difficulties have been many, the salts
faction in seeing a line of stages this season over
the mountains from Fort Benton to Walla Walla
is in itself a sufficient reward.
You may look for the immigration into Walla
Walla by tie first of August. Many will stop in
Deer Lodge at the new mines, and others intend
settling in the Beaver Head valley and Big Hole
valley, where gold mines are said to exist Thirty
pounds of gold bearing quartz has just reached
this point which came from near the Big Hole
valley. 1t will be forwarded to your place.
am convinced that an extended prospecting
of this region will lead to the discovery of many
rich deposits l think the Deer Lodge mines
cover an area of four hundred square miles. judg-
ing from the geological formation In this area
at least gold has been found wherever prospected.
The day is not far distant when the entire section
intervening between the head of steam navigation
on the Columbia and Missouri rivers, will be peo-
pied by hardy band of pioneers who earn their
n cans by the sweat Of their brows

sent out by Brig. Gen. Smith, familiarly known
s " BAldy,"a general whom We know to be
thoroughly In earnest 10 the prosecution Of this
wsr, and willing to do, with whole -hesrtsdness,
bis simple duty as soldier, without regard to
incidental consequences. Forage, horses, and
cavalrymen are often swept into bis net. On
this occasion force Of 1880 went through the
mud In search Of the enemy. Early In the day,
they bsgged and sent into camp two secession
soldiers, and surrounding cavalry squad, they
succeeded in swelling the number Of prisoners
to sixteen, who were sent into this city as an
,cident in our programme of WashIngton's
birth day obssrvances. The Cameron Dragons
and the Second Maine Infantry, under Colonel
Ell. Mason, constituted the main body Of this

Sr. LOUIS, Feb. 2l.-Special dispatches from
Cairo to the Republican and Democrat Of this
city, state that on Tuesday two rebel regiments
from Clarksville came to Fort Donelson and
gave themselves up, saying they had been
deceived and were tired Of fighting against the
old flag. ..-..-
II 10 declared that strong objection will be
raised by Tennessee against the force which
retired from Bowling Green, offering battle al
Nashville.
The Provost Marshal at Clarksville sent TO
General Grant to come up and OCCUPY the town
at once.
The officers of the gunboats now lying there
represent the Union feeling as being very
strong. The people state that they had been
made to believe that the Union army was en-.
tirely composed Of Germans and negroes for
abolition purposes, but now they see II Is not.
They are anxious to return to their allegiance.
Prominent citizens say that similar feeling
will prevail throughout the whole State In y
week. Governor Harris has called meeting
Of The Legislature next Monday, for the pur.
pose, II is said, Of having all the unconstitu.
uonal acts passed by them Immediately an.
nulled, and Tennessee officers and citizens de-.
clare that the Sta viii soon be back in the

this failed. The wires were then cut. Three
of the machines were sunk, and the fourth
placed upon bank and fired into, when it
exploded. From this, as we'll as similar ex.
