estimate that 500, 600 has there been obtained
is not exaggerated. Nay: We will gofuriher, and
advise any one living eastward of Pittsburgh and
Washington City, who wants to try his luck at
gold-digying, to repair to Canada for that pur-
pose. IL is a good deal nearer than Idaho or
Arizona, more accessible, with cheaper food, |
more of the comforts of civilization, and less

showing that Slavery and Rebellion run
together in that State as elsewhere, and that
the slaveholding localities, whatever they may
have done toward filling the ranks of the Rebel
armies, have done very little for those Of the
Union. Here is sample Of his analysis:
"Take the ten largest slayehoding counties and the
and see how many each class has furnished the
Union armies The large slayebOldDg counties have
furnished 20 per cent OF their enrolled militia while the
zen counties with the ewest slaves have furnished Go

are is 80 slayesahout 20 per cent oftle whole number
in The State In the latter counties there Are U76

a voting population OF 7.i79 have furnished g. 5O8

again: take the Counties OF Fayette and Pulaski
which have about the same number Of voters. Fayette
has $40 slaves and has sent TO the field $50 Pu

1t is plainly the cue of the champions in Con.
grc,S of the Camden and AmbOy Monopoly TO
talk to death the resolve of the Military Com
mittee in favor Of permitting the people Of other
States TO get through New-JerScy more cheaply
and adyantageously than the Monopoly will
carry them. They are clearly short Of votes
or they would not so pertinaciously oppose the
taking of any. They talk of State Rights, as if
The right to forbid the citizens Of other States
from crossing our own, were among them. Of
New-Jersey has right TO tax and impede
transit across her area as she now does, then she
has q right to increase those taxes and obstruc-
tons until they preclude travel altogether.)
The Monopoly advocates on the floor talk Of
the money that the stockholders Of the Raritan
and Atlantic Roads will make out Of the priv
ilege which Congress is asked to accord them
how they Will sell out TO the Monopoly, &c,
&c. The short method with all that is to so
amend the resolve that it may affirm and uphold
generally the right to cross not only New-Jersey
but erery State by the cheapest and most invit-
ing conveyance that offers. That tho Monopoly
can't buy up; and il will enrich nobody but the
public in general. Let them have chance to
vote for so broad a proposition, and see how
