The San Francisco. Golden Era of Feb.
18th, in an article reviewing the mining pros
poets. Of Colorado, Arizona and Idaho makes
the following comments with regard to the
Idaho mines;
"Idaho and Arisrna are the new fields of
discovery in highest present favor-the lands
of promise for the early Spring Stampede of
Eighteen Hundred and Sixty -Four. If this
is madness that rules the hour, still there is
method in it. The entire aggregate Of ac-
counts from the new mining grounds in the
Boise River Region which the past year has
furnished are favorable to the future devel-
opment of vast mineral wealth in Idaho Ter
ritory. The placers are extensive and rich
almost beyond precedent since the first find
ing of gold in California. Concerning the
aurifegous quartz iodes, the published results
of assays stagger belief. One great fact
stands prominent in support of the claims of
the Idaho gold fields, which is Of absolute
proof the sudden and unlocked-for increase
of shipments of gold from the Northern
Ports to San Francisco during the Fall
months of the past year. 1t is clearly ap-
parent that the apprc aching mild season Wilt
witness the exodus from California of many
thousands seeking their fortunes in the Boise
River country and the other gold-bearing
districts of Idahe.

Of M eeasd
Senator from Arkansas by the General Assem-.
bly, OF that State On the 5th Of May, 1861, to fill
the unexpired term Of Hon. Mr.. Sebastian, re-
signed.
Mr. Salisbury suggested that they should be
referred TO the Committee on the Judiciary to
inquire INFO the validity OF the election, ana
SAID, if no other Senator did it, he should on
Monday move the reference OF the credentials
TO that committee.
Mr. Conness then entered a motion to refer
the credentials to the Judiciary Committee;
and at the suggestion of Mr.. Lane, of Kansas,
Its consideration was postponed until Monday.
Mr. Foot called up the bill IS relating to the
Office of Commissioner of Public Buildings"
He stated that it had been twice before under
consideration in the Senate and left unfinished.
He repealed the objection which had been made
the bill that it was an attack on the Secretary
OF the Interior, and explained that 1t was merely
legitimate matter OF saving above five thou
sand dollars per annum to the Government an
expense which had been incurred by the ap-
pointment by the Secretary Of general super
intendent of the Capitol extension, which he
held to be without authority Of law and entirely
useless, as all the duties in this connection
could be discharged by the Commissioner Of
Public Buildings, as proposed in the bill.
e He held as ridiculous the arguments hereto
fore made in defense OF the present superiI-
tendent, that because larger amounts Of expen-
diture had been made during certain months
as compared with corresponding months prior
thereto, that therefore advantage and economy
resulted to the Government.
He did not desire to indicate that the super
intendent appointed by the Secretary of the
Interior was not young gentleman of fair
abilities, good draughtsman and penman, and
had given his services in some way all the
while to the government, but if he was credi-
bly, informed, that gentleman had in no wise
given practical and personal superintendence
to the progress OF these great and costly works
to any considerable extent at any time.
II the gentleman must be provided for under
the Government-for that really appeared
now to be the question in this case-he hoped 1t
would be in some other employment than this.
Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, indicated his desire to
make some reply to these remarks hereafter,
and the bill was laid over.
the Pacific Railroad bill then came up as
the unfinished business, and the Senate pro.
ceeded to act on amendments as offered.

The circumstances of Chenowith's arrest are
about as follows Yesterday evening he got
into the 9TH street cars, in which was seated
Union officer dressed in citizens clothing. On
the way down to the wharf Chenowith re.
marked to the officer that it was an easy
matter to pass our pickets and run the block
AIDE, but that he had been wounded once in
doing co. The officer having his suspicious
aroused, entered into conversation with Che
nowith when he admitted that he was here
for the purpose of watching the movements
of our troops, and gaining such information
as would be of service to the rebels, with
which he would run the blockade and COM
municate to the Confederates. The accused
in the course of his conversation with the
officer, stated that the body Of rebel officer,
who had been killed in the late battles, was
sent to this city under the disguise Of that Of
Union officer, for the purpose OF being trans
mitted to tie friends of the deceased, residing
III Baltimore, which was successfully accom-
plished
Upon the strength of Chenowish's confess
sions, he was arrested by the guard at the
wharf, and this morning Col. Ingraham COM
mitted him to the Old Capitol.
