TWO COUNTIES RICHER THAN cALrFoR.

ING--RAPID LOCATION OF CLAIMS
The discoveries in the counties Of
Polk and Sewer, ArkaI sas, are still
proceeding. SO encouraging are the
indications, and SO exciting hos proved
the degree of success already achieved.
that the snow and cold Of winter have
not been able to suspend the eager op.
erations now in progress. Shrewd and
calculating individuals, forcsceing a
rush to the new diggings during the
ensuing spring and summer, are now
taking opportunity to share in the ex-
pected prize by taking up public lands.
Such is the press of business of this
kind upon the United State, land Office
of the district, which is located at
Washington, Hampstead county, that a
special Office has been opened at the
diggings, and an agent there is facilita-
ting the crowd of business so unexpect.
edly thrown upon the district. In the
New Era, published at Fort Smith, We
find the following, dated January s:
Dir. VIM. II. Hook returned on Fri.
day last from the Polk county mines,
whittier he had gone with new supply
of tools, portable forge, etc. He re.
ports progress. Day before yesterday
we received letter from Mr.. J.. d.
Smith, in which he says the work Of
blasting and sinking shaft is prosecu.
ted with energy, and that the prospects
are decidedly fattering. A specimen
of ore brought up by Mr.. Hook is dc.
cidedly rich in silver, The mines are
continuing to attract great attention
throughout the country, and eDtcrpris.
ing men are rapidly pouring into Polk
county, hitherto almost terra incogni.
ia. The land office at Washington,
Hampstead county, has sent an agent
TO Dallas TO facilitate the location Of
claims.
The Fort Smith Herald, January IS,
relates:
A man passed through this place
last week, who has been prospecting ia
the mountains Of Polk county for fv,
or six weeks, and who has been in the
mining business 10 California for
number of years, and he pronouncel
Polk and Sewer counties richer in min
erals than any two counties in Califor
MIA. He brought up several specimens

tanning gold. lie also had large piec,
Of the richest lead ore, which he hal
taken to Missouri, where he expects tc

OBITUARY.

Died, on the 18th of September, of Dyptheria,
MINNIE, aged years and IL months, only
child of BETTE and RICHARD BARNES, Jr.
In the death Of this little christian must
not pause to question the ways of Providence,
but humbly acknowledge ourselves before Hin,
merciful God, for in all His Affections there is
mercy and wisdom. The sweetness of her dis
position and the undined beauties of her char
acter shed halo of charms around her life,
which had not failed to awaken, in the hearts of
all who knew her, the most endearing love and
affection. Her short life was filled with those
rare qualities which are SO seldom found in
young life's f1ecting march;-a mind of unex-
ampled aptitude and heart teeming with love
and filled with every sympathy for her friends
and companions. But, above all, to see the
seeds of religion, nurtured in the love of God,
blooming forth in grace and loveliness, at her
early age, should be example to comfort and
assauge the heart-stricken grief of her parents
To part with one of such innocence and puri-
ty fills the heart with poignant grief: An only
child of fond and devoted parents, upon whom
their fondest hopes and anticipations had CEN
tered, comforting the present and Frightening
the future of their lives. But she has been TAX
en- from them in obedience to her RedeeEner's
call. Yet they are not left those without
hope; the heavenly smile that played upon
her countenance, in the hour of death, told that
her Jesus was near to guide her through the
ssdark valley of the shadow of death" to that
blessed abode, there to await, in an eternity of
bliss, the coming of those whom she left weep
ing in the vale of sorrow. M*****.

The Vote OF the Central Sta ties.

Great interest is manifested in the e.
lection which is to take place in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana-as well as
Iowa-on the 18th of October, the votes
of the three first named States bearing
with direct, aud possibly controlling.
influence on the result of the Presidential
election, three weeks later The whole
number of electoral votes is 81 but as
Congress has by legislation forbidden
three States-Virginia, Mississippi, and
Texas-to throw their % united votes.
these may be reckoned out in the present
calculation, which would leave total Of
294 votes without them. A clear majo-
rity of the whole electoral vote of all the
States is 1859; but without the three
States named, the majority would be 148.
The following table of the estimated vote
of all the States appears to US to touch
the reasonable probabilities of the case as
nearly as any that can be prepared -
