IDAHO AND CAPTAIN FISK,

\ dispatch i'll he Chicago 7riluue,
from Columbus, Ohio, says: .
have seen reliable gentleman just
from Idaho. and he says that story about
that fifteen millions in gold awaiting trans
portation is all bosh; and adds that there
is not gold enough dug out in the whole
Territory to pay the expense Of getting the
cmigrants back home, and that all these
big stories ,slegraphsd f:oa St. Paul and
New York, just before spring opens, are
The fabrications Of SPECTATORS to ret up q
rush Of deluded emigrants.
Apropos to the above, the Tribune
makes the following "sarkastic"
remarks on the dispatch announcing
Capt. Fisk arrival in New York:
This "Captain Fisk" is considerably
windy, much given to brandy and blowing.
A great noise was made over the large band
of emigrants he piloted across the plains
last summer, but We are informed it con-
sisted of seren emigrants in addition to the
guards. The S15,0GO,OOO in gold dust
could spare cypher or two and then be
considerably nearer the truth than he
atates it.. The emigration to idaho may
reach lOn, OCO this summer, but if it does,
| $4,000 Of them will return next summer
disapp inted, as was the case with the first
to Colorado. An emigration of 10000 is
more than ought to 60 during the next
year. No preparations can be made to ac-
commodate, employ or support greater
number. But the vulturcs who 1atten on
the folly of fools want to see half million
of gold hunters rush across the plains to
squander their time and money.
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
A Mr.. Chase, Of Iowa, who has been two
years in California and Idaho, reports that
the goll mines of the former State are more
rich than those Of the latter; that the
mines of Idaho occupy a very limited space
at that, and that the hue end cry about the
rich minis Of that country is raised by
spectators. He estimates that there are
now IN the Territory upward of thirty thou
sand men out of employment. The price
Of living is exorbitant, the climate cold,
and the obstacles in the way of achieving a
fortune greater than in the States. We
have cautioned those who have been daz-
zled by accounts Of the enormous gold re-
sources Of Idaho to look at the oti er side
before determining to abandon pursuits
that may yield but scanty profit, to chase
a gilded phantom through the wilderness.

THE COMING DRAFT.

"A Washington C. respondent says /:
"Although moi announced officially, yet
il is authoritativoly learned that all Il.
enlistments If volunteers, substitutes
for drafted men, and con-, mutation mon
paid on draft since Jul, LIST last viii
be credited ." the draft tv take place il"
March next 1t is the intention to
clear up everything under the cd
law, aud then commrmce anew un.
DIR the new conscri ptiun act. This re.
suit will relieve many places Of draft
altogether aud materially reduce the
quotas Of others. 1t is said that all
vi . have paid communication money will
b., again placed on the enrolment lists
by tag construction Of the new law"
The New York Times says: II,
has b'e' generally understood that the
cal FIR 100000 men included the call
Of last November for 800, 000-that is,
it was simply an addition Of 200, 900
to that levy But it is now clain,ed
that Provost Marshal General Fry has
explicitly declared that the call for
100000 not only includes last Novcm-
bcr's 10000, but also the draft Of last
summer, aud counts in also, commuters
under the $500 exemption clause. Ac-
cording to this Interpretation, quite a
number Of States have already filed
their full quotas and it would appear
tina: the call was simply made, for the
purpose Of adjusting the balance Of
dues from the States that have not fur
ni>hetl tie requisite number.

TRAGEDY IN SOCIAL LIFE.

On Wednesday, Feb. Gath, there
transpired in Minneapolis case where
an injured husband took into his own
hands the terrible execution of the law.
1t appears fre m the Developments Of
the affair that Mr.. Sumner G.. Cutter,
a mechanic who has resided in Mime
apolis for several years, had reason to
suspect an improper intimacy between
bis wife and young man named Geo.
W. p. Little6eld, fellow-workman.
Mr.. G. had been in the pineries for
some months, and left Little6ell a
boarder at his house Upon his return
his suspicious were aroused, aud after
warls confirmed by what he himself
saw. On the morning Of the day re-
fcrred to, he was walking with friend
down First Street, and at a board yard
two or three squares above Main Street,
encountered, Little6eld. 1t was their
first meeting since they had quarreled
and the latter had been expelled from
Mr. C.'s house. -. .#~
Upon seeing Little6eld, Cutter ex-
claimed, "There comes the black-heart-
ed william" AMI unbuttoning his coat
draw a revolver, which no aimed at
Lit'lefeld, who was then about sixty
feet off: The latter seeing the pistol
cried out, "Don't, oh, don't, Cutter"
Cutter said nothing but aimed at him,
and followed him whilo running, and
after going a few steps fred. Little
field ran short distance further, then
fell and expired almost instantly. Gut
ter at once went in search of an officer
to whom to deliver himself, and was
shortly afterwards arrested by Sheriff
Armstrong. The great excitement un-
der which he had been laboring for
some days past. and this fatal ter'nina-
ton, completely Frustrated him men
tally and physically. He is described
as a pleasant, quiet gentlemen Of about
IS, and one seldom found in anger.
The conduct Of Mrs. Cutter since
the killinyo her paramour has been
most shameless. She gained admit
lance to the room, and lavished such
demonstrations Of love and affection on
the corpse as one might be supposed
to bcstow on that Of u very dear rela-
ton, addressing it as ''dear George"
kissing it's blanched lips, and smooth
ing back the hair, &c. She is the
mother Of three children. @%..

DISCOVERY CT COAL.

Coal has certainly been discovered
in the Valley of the Big Cottonwood,
and there are such evidences of proof
az cannot be doubted Mr.. Henry Il.
Eamcs, practical geologist from 1udi-
ana, has been engaged for the past nine
months in making examinations OF the
Minnesota Valley and Southern Mime
sofa country, with reference to the find
ing Of ccal. He was successful in the
locality above mentioned, and at the
depth of eighty-eish feet from the
surface struck a bed of superior btu
minous coal four feet thick. A CON-
pany consisting Of Col Prince, Gen.
Sibley, Hon. II: NJ. Rice, Messrs
Steele, Oaks, and several other gentle
men, has been formed and active min
ing operations will be commenced next
week. A barge load Of coal IS prom

MAN KlLLED.-On Saturday, Feb.
10th, an affray occurred between two
settlers named Mathews and Gill, re-
siding near Mankato, Of which the In.
10" gives an account. The former
claimed tract of timber land, and find
ing the latter engaged in telling trees
on it, went with some ncighbors to
warn him of. Angry words ensued,
when Gill raised his az. and advanced
toward Mathews. The latter retreated
and suatching a gun from his son who
stood near by, discharged it at Gill
who was but few feet off. The con-
tents lodged in his bowels, and he died
within Eve minutes. Mathews went
to Mankato and gave himself up. Both
were 'uarried men, and somewhat ad-
vanced iq life-the deceased was about
sixty years of age. @..,.--
