KOOTENAI. Sept. 10. 1863.


FRIEND PAYNE:- write to lei you know
that there is very rich diggings just struck near
Kootena, which will be more extensive than
any mines in British Columbia, and wish you
to come early in the spring, and fetch about
fifty crewbars and sledges. l left everything
and went, and are well satisfied with my loca-
ton If have chance to go out this winter,
will, but think there is not much show, for
the new diggings will be apt to keep me here.
Tell the Doctor there is pretty good show for
him here. Tell the exact truth from the min
ers, which is from color to SIS to the pan. If
You take notion to come, bring an assortment
of all kinds of goods Yours, p. SMITH.

NEW DIGGINGs In KooTENAI.

We copy the following from the Walla Walla,
Statesman Of Oct. 4th: II a1aod3 a,r ..st
ID. M. Drumheller, through from Kootenai
in six days, brings the news of the discovery of
new and rich mines on a creek distant a5ont
25 miles from the old Kootenai digginps. sTha
discovery had created intense excitement. and
miners were deserting their claims and stream
ing into the new diggings.
The discovery was made in the early part of
September by party of three miners who had
been out on general prospecting tour, and
were ON their return, somewhat discouraged
with the result of their expedition. On their
way out they had noticed indications of gold on
the creek already described, and on their re-
turn they thought they would give it another
examination, which resulted in the discovery
of the best mines that have yet been found in
the Northern country. ~
The stream on which the gold was found has
been named Perry Creek, in honor of one of
the discoverers The creek had been prospect
ed distance of twelve miles and found to pay
well the entire distance The three men who
made the discovery panned out in five DAYS
$225 They had but two pans and were with
out cOnveniences for working to advantage
They took out as much as S13 to the pan, and
in one instance got SlS. The gold is coarse,
and resembles KOOtenai dust. with the excep-
ton that the color is shade lighter 1t is es-
timated to be worth from $l8 to $40 to the
ounce.
Mr.. Drumheller visited the mines in person
and satisfied himself that they are both rich.
and extensive He has with him some $50 or
$40 of the dust which he washed out himself
The Gold Commissioner had visited the mines
and laid over the claims until the first of june
The supply of provisions, &c, at Kootenai is
limited, and as consequence those who 90
there this fall for the purpose of securing
claims should 60 well provided.
Mr.. ID. brought down a number of letters
written by parties in the mines to their friends
at Walla Walla. We append extracts from
two of these letters.
WILD HORSE CREEK, Sept. 20, 1863
FRIEND BENDER:- Il take the present Op-
portunity of dropping you a few lines, to let
you know that the boys have struck it big, 80
miles from Kootenai, and there will be big
camp here next spring. have got claim in
as good q location as there is on the creek, and
there is good prospects found every day. III
can, | will secure claim fer you.

MAY 15.-Thc ultimate acquttal of the
President seems conceded today. Onsettng
resolutions which have all been published,

mitted Senators, from homo sources, have been
| received, urging them act according to their
consccncos, and assuring thorn that tho inn
peachmcnt furor is artificial.
Repying to the Missouri Delegation, Sen
ator henderson appears to have said, That
conviction would have failed without, and
could not have been secured with his vote
In his opinion the second Article would have
been defeated by two, and the eleventh. by
four votes
The impeachment managers appear to have
abandoned yesterdays project, whatever that
may have been. They had no meeting to-day.

Howard and Conkling are confined to bed.
Grimes is better. Morton is on the street
again.
The STR says there is lull in the i'm
parchment excitement partly from the i'm
preston that the question will not be taken
tomorrow. Some of the managers favour
postponcmcnt, while others it is known arc
in favour of disposing for once and for all a
question that is now only serving to weaken
and distract the Republican party Some
leading Republicans believe that it will be
policy to get wholly rid of the impeachment
matter, as q feature Of the coming Presidential
canvass, and to move OH to fresh fields aud

Republic standard, can rally in common

IA Review Of the Situation: s,

We are glad to see the spirit which is ami
mai mating the people Of the District: From every
section g comes heggratifying intelligence Of
political activity, which inspires us with hope
We know our cause is tho cause Of truth and
we are glad Of discussion, and argument, and
tho ventilation of opinions :'"ifr for atruth IS
mighty, and will prevail" We, have the in
teligenco as Of the formation Of Democratic Clubs
at nearly every Precinct in tho DISTRICT; and
they are composed of men who intend, to work,
for the cause Y g1slia~ Fm9A es9
We are therefore amused when we hear of
the subterfuges Of the Radical party to secure
success, A white Radical lately remarked
"that the poor men and the niggers are going
to vote the Radical ticket" This We consider
a gross sandes on the ''poor men y and equal
y as unjust to the respectable colored voters
of the District. We arc all poor but we are
not prepared to place our principles in ono
scale, and money in tho othor, and let money
turn the scales.
Let US work, and hope for the success which
rewards active, intelligent effort in righteous
cause.

1. Less than week before the nomination

of this community, THAT YOU WEREFNOT
A RADICAL. A few days after you received
at your house, several of the darkics, who run
the Radical machine. YEou went to tho{Radi-
cal meeting, and accepteds their nomi5 5ation,
with the distinct understanding that yoa were
fair 4 an and square ppon The Radical platform .
The darkccy Ran ndolpl peAizing
wdy,r nladc that statement for you; and you
-did:not contrudict' it's How do you reconcile
your two positions? -
2. Reports have been circulated that your
course was endorsed by several prominent men
in this District, and that they had promised to
support you. In every instance, these gentle
men have Indignantly denied the reports. I
desire to know whether youIwerc instrumental
in their circulation.
B. AS l have heard, that you said you. were

cuniary motives, have you made that remark {:
An answer to these Questions is requested

DURHAM, Oct. 3d., 1858.
To the Editor Of the Press:
This is one of the towns In Maine whose
population has, for number of years, gradu-
ally fallen off. A large part OF the young
men seek their fortunes elsewhere; and with
them, as usual, goes the spirit of progress
Durham has no point about which labor car
gather; and so she suffers, instead of profit
ing, by its present centralizing tendency
Railroads are all around her, but not one
crosses her borders. She has no manufactur-
es whatever, beyond three small gristmihS'
two sawmills, one clapboard and two shineie
machines.
Nevertheless. Durham is decidedly COM
Portable town standing rather above the aver
ace in her evenly distributed wealth, in the
quality of her roads and schools, and in the
general character OF her inhabitants. What
she especially needs, just now, is a greater
number CT young men to work her land, which
is iree.from large hills and compares favorably
with the land in other towns of Androscog-
gin county. The northern section OF the
town finds market at Lewiston; the south
ern section at Bath, Freeport and Port
land. ...
Trees thrive well upon the Durham soil
and there is much wood yet to be cut Some
fifty acres, on the farm of Isaac Osgood, was
thirty OF forty years ago, nearly cleared of all
