Discovery of New Gold Mines.
San Francisco. Aug. I6

Gan iIdhoiSoo3 aug. ~
Accounts come via Los Angeles, OF
the discovery of very rich and extensive
gold mine region in San francisco noun
tains, lying east of Colorado river. La
Paz, and other recently formed mining
companies on the Colorado, have been de-
serted for the new mines. The latter are
described as a new California. Great
complaint is made among the growers OF
vegetables. The supply is excessive in
this city baskets of plums and excellent
peaches are sold for about two cents per
pound, which will scarcely pay for the
cost of gathering. Everything is thrown
away for the want of buyers.

is thorough understanding. The World
continues with this bold language:
"Mr. Lincoln is politically blind, if he
does not perceive that this question is FAST
PASSING BEYOND THE DOMAIN OF AR
suMENT. More Democrats will be left in
New York than he can take away con-
scripts to the war, and it behooves him to
consider whether our armies in the South

Successful Ruse Of a Blockade Rum


Fort Monroe, August 10.
The United States steamer Guide ar
rived here this A NJ, from Morehead City,
NC. She reports that there had been no
arrival from Charleston for several days
TIL. Guide also reports that yesterday,
while off Cape Hatteras, steamer spoke
them, giving the name of Hudson, from
New York, and saying that Charleston
was taken. OF course if the steamer
was from New York and no such news
had been received there, what they said
was false. The conclusion of the officers
on the Guide was that the Hudson was a
blockade runner, and her bold mode OF
reporting to and hailing the gunboat was
daring move by which they escaped.

dSHlHSIUI, rug IV'
Information from the Army of the Po-
tomac received tonight, says there has
been no change in the relative positions of
the two armies, so far as can be at present
known, but there are some vague suspi-
cions that the rebels are about to attempt
flank movement on our left.
Rumors have reached our army from
the vicinity of Dumfries that a large rebel
force is approaching that place, but this is
denied at Headquarters. However 1t may
be, we are ready for them in that quarter.

WEBSTER ON SrATS RIGHTs.--Daniel
Webster did not hold the views which are
now put forward by Gov. Seymour and
his friends, in reference to the right OF
State Courts to pronunce upon the valldl-
tv of Federal enactments. Webster
makes one of his four propositions con-
corning the relations of States to national
laws, the folio wing:
"That an attempt by a State to abro-
gate, annul, or nullify on act of Congress
or to arrest its operation within her limits,
on the ground that in her opinion such law
is unconstitutional, is direct usurpatior
on the just powers of the General Govern
ment, and on the equal rights of othel
States plain violation of the Constltu
ton, and preceding essentially revolu
tionary in Its character and tendency"

THE COLLAPSE OF THE REBEL LOAN.
The London Daily News of July 81, thus
notes one of the heavy straws which show
the way the wind blows abroad;
"The sudden collapse of the Confeder-
ate loan has not unnaturally filed the cal
culatmg friends of the South in this coun
try with dismay. This stock, which on
its introduction to the English market,
was so skillfully manipulated as to be
quoted at premium, has during the last
few days sunk by successive plunges TO 20
discount. On Tuesday morning, indeed,
it could not be disposed of at any price
however low, but few sales were eventu-
ally effected at II discount. Yesterday,
while other kinds Of foreign stock rose, the
Shareholders loan still retained its alarm
ing position, of severe and exceptional de-
preston. Under these circumstances, il
is hardly surprising that the panic of the
Shareholders agents and representatives in
this country should be extreme. This
sudden fall in their favorite stock shows
that the arts by which it has been so long
supported are beginning to fall, that the
outside world can no longer be deceived
by smooth prophecies of southern success
es, but Is taking the measure of c2rrepi
events for itself. 1t shows that the re-
sources of plausible mystifcation are near
ly exhausted, and that the public are be.
