THE GOLD-FTELDS OF TENEzUELl.

The photographic basin of tho Esscquibo
River is the true and great gold d-producng por-
tion of Venezuela. This basin is situated in
the southeastern half of the State of Guayana,
extends southwark to the mountains of Brazil,
and occupies the whole Of British Guayana.
The photographic basin of the Orinoco has not
produced much gold, although the rocks south of
that river do hold some of this precious metal.
The mountains separating this aforementioned
basin from that of the Caribbean Sea, known
as the COast-range, and which are a prolOnga-
ton Of the great eastern branch of the Andes,
have mines of gold, argentiferous galena. and
copper, which have been worked at intervals
from the earliest days Of the Spanish domina-
ton. The Essequibo basin has but recently been
explored and worked English explorers have
penetrated it from the Atlantic Coast, by the
way of Georgetown in Demarara, and estab-
lished their works near the junction Of the
Cuyuni with the Essequibo.
In 1854, DR.. Plassard, o physician Of Ciudad
Bolivar, the seat of Government of the Vene-
zuelan State of Guayana, discovered gold at an
old Indian Mission, named Tubuken, In the
Valley of the Yuruari River which stream is
the north afluent of the EssequibO, and drain
basin including all the country south of the I'm
itaca range of mountains. DR.. Plassard found
gold in tho sands and gravel OF the river. To
his individual exertions mainly has this portion
of the gold-feld been indebted for laboIious
investigations. From the late Paris Exposition
he received gold medal as reward forI
this discovery of new gold-feld. For the
space Of five or six miles the Valley Of the
Yuruay shows gold in its bars and beaches Mt
low water. Near the village of Callao vein
of gold-bearing quartz crosses the river and
Immediately below in an old bed of the river,
is remarkably rich locality for nuggets and
bowders of quartz bearing gold. A little
below Callao an Insignificant arroyo Ii. O.,

Our charming Autumn fingered in the lap of
Winter longer than usual and for the past
two months the weather has been in the main
unseasonaby beautiful. But the dawn of New
Years morning brought us Winter in earnest
New-Yorkcrs who have painful recollection
of the first days of 1868 and of 1867 hoped for
a pleasanter beginning for 1869. But the ele-
ments were in conspiracy against the New
Years callers. Binding sleet and snow filled
the air all day yesterday sharp gusts of wind
swept around the corner, turned umbrellas
wrong side out, and nearly exiled pedestrians
from the streets; the snow was heaped up on
the railroad tracks, and where the snow banks
did not obstruct them, the sheets of ice
made them almost impossible. But the
good old customs were kept up in
defiance of Winter and rough weather.
Business was abandoned for social pleasures
congratulations aud good wishes were every
where exchanged; men met each other with a
warmer grasp of the hand; the very air, albeit
nipping and frosty seemed to carry the infec-
tisn of the general kindiness that eonsecrated
the day to friendship and good deeds.
New-York tribune., 1869-01-02

The New Years speech of the Emperor of
France is this year less eQuiyocal than is COM
mon in the Imperial utterances, in its expecta-
tion of the pacific character of the coming year
The Emperor praises the concilatory spirit ami
mating the European Powers, and expresses
confident hope that the year upon which we
have just entered will be as satisfactory as the
one which has just closed, and consolidate the
peace SO necessary to the progress of civilized ma
tions. The Emperor's speech only confirms the
view which at present prevails among the lead
ing statesmen Of Europe. that under the present
circumstances it is desirable to smooth inter-
national difficulties, and, at least, to put off
their solution for the present. The political
horizon of Europe is, however, by no means
free from clouds. Greece endeavOrs to perfect
and complete the armament of the national
New-York tribune., 1869-01-02

The President of tho United States has never
given warning of great war by casual re-
mark to a Foreign Minister on New Years
Day, ike Louis Napoleon and New Years re-
ceptions at the White House have been re-
markable less for features of sensational in
terest than for very dreary commonplace
But there was, nevertheless, n genuine sensa-
ton in the Blue Room yesterday. The record
which tells that Satan came also among them
does not recite a fact more startling than
must have been the appearance of Benja-
min f. Butler of the Board of Managers of
the Impeachment Glowing his way through
the crowd, to grasp the hand of Andrew john
son. while he expressed his delight at seeing
that great criminal" so well and his hopes for
continuance of prosperity to him through the re-
mainder of the Presidential term. Most cere
mOnious etiquette is Picliwickian, but Mr.. john
son must have had special realization of the
fact yesterday about the time he was shaking
hands, with such JUNCTION as the telegraph de
scribes, with Gen. Butler
New-York tribune., 1869-01-02

Reports of railway consultations continue as
plenty as Washington rumors, or men who
first nominated Grant The efforts of the Penn
sylvania Central to secure through lines under
it's own control to Chicago, Cincinnati and St.
Louis, have stimulated its NewYork rivals to
similar schemes. The Erie Directory cOntrives
to make the biggest promises. At first we
were told that it had obtained a through line
to Cincinnati, and then that it had leased for
fabulous millions the great broad -guage road
thence to st. Louis, known as the Ohio and
Mississippi. This last is now denied but the
S. Louis people insist that a substantial con-
soldation of the Ohio and Mississippi, Atlantic
and Great Western, and Eric Roads has been
effected, giving a broad -guage continuous line
from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. a
double track is to be laid throughout and a
third rail on the Ohio and Mississippi as far as
Odin, Illinois, is to secure also narrow gauge
connection with the Illinois Central. These are
large calculations, but we have dim suspicious
of having heard Of them great many times
before.
New-York tribune., 1869-01-02

The Tammany conspirators entered yester-
day upon their reward. just as the Committee
of Congress is completing its collection OF
evidence to demonstrate that New-YOrk was
given to the Democracy by elaborate and far
reaching fraud, the fraudulently elected officers
take the oaths of Office, and receive into their
hands the vast powers and revenues of Com
monwealth Of four million souls. But of course
it was all decorously done. If we are to have
n creature of fraud aud tool Of the Ring for
Governor of the Empire State we could ask
for no one who would more carefully or cred
itably preserve the outward dccencies of the
place than the late Mayor of this city. For so
much at least let us be thankful.
Coy. Fenton gracefully yielded mp the
great Office he has so hOnorably filed, and his
successor was not less happy in the terms of
his acceptance. Not the slightest reference to
party issues or State policy was made by

who have always been loyal, including the
majority of the freedmen; 2. Those who, like
Gen. Longstreet, admit that Secession is not
hereafter to be thought of, and that Obedience
TO the laws is the best policy; and, 3. The
rantcrs and rOarers who, in spite of predestinate
defeat, would go to war again tomorrow.
But these creatures were bad citizens before
the insunecton, just as they are bad citizens
now. They are an uncomfortable element OF
society; but if the North does not once more
fall into the error of according to them more
political importance than properly belongs to
them, does not once more permit legislation to
be directed by mere CALCULATIONS, does not
for the sake of peace, lapse into
lamentabe cowardice, but, on the
contrary, does maintain proper degree OF
self-respccting persistence, the Union has now
at the South, in honestly reconstructed Rebels
like Gen. Lougstreet, and in the new voters,
allies and supporters such as it never had
before, and upon whom it can confidently rely.
The fires of faction must soon go out for want
of fuel Every day will diminish the number Of
savage memories and of rampant recollections.
The question Of Secession has had sanguinary
adjudication, and every hour will lessen this
brood of brawling dissenters from the YER
dict Of war. They will be killed in duels.
They will be slaughtered in bar-rooms. They
will be locked up in penitentiares. They
will talk till nobody hears, and pro-
phesy until nobody heeds. them. They
will fade gradually away as class,
simply because as class the regeDer-
ated society of the South has no use for them,
and will care no more for their opinion of the
war than for their opinion of Mary Queen Of
Scots. And with them, may We not hope, Will
depart forever those foolish jealousles and
Iatreds, those causeless but mischievous ami
mosities, which have already borne such bitter
fruit If we at the North have had our share
of these, as some assert, may God send us
speedy repentance and reformation! If there
does exist in the States lately in rebellion, as
we have some reason to believe, good solid
subsiratum of common sense, may 1t be the
crOwning glory of the incoming Administration
to make that most valuable quality predOmi-
nant in the public affairs of the South!
New-York tribune., 1869-01-02

Yesterday was the sixth anniversary of the
Emancipation of American Slaves. The poor
Boston negroes thought it ought TO be day of
rejoicing. Mr. Wendell Phillips, on the other
hand, preferred to treat it as a day of fasting
and humiliation, and--not prayer exactly,
but prophecy OF course his prophesy was
of evil. Gen. Grant was not going
to be =" true to the cause' and, therefore, Mr..
Phillips wanted everything else thrown aside,
in order to work for an amendment to tho
Constitution recognizing the rights of all races
of men, White, Negro, Indian, Chinaman, as
equal Senator Wilson took an opposite view
Of the prospects.
New-York tribune., 1869-01-02

An important truth has seldom been stated
more tersely than Mr. Bowles hit the real er
ror of the Press, and the precise character of
the average libel suit. in his letter to Gov.
Bullock and other Boston notables in reply to
their tender of public dinner. "My own OBJ
" servation," says Mr.. Bowles, is that the Press
" rarely does injustice TO a thoroughly honest man
" or cause. 1t may be deceived with regard TO

" time; but, with reference to public men and
" measures, its knowledge is more intimate and

Justly to the public one hundred times 'chere

" udl Certainly, nine out of ten Of all
libel suits against the Press are brought by dd
" renturers and spectators and scoundrets,
whose contrivances to rob the public have
" been exp0sed.n There never was truer
saying. We have our own share of libel
suits, which we endure like the other
dscomfOrts that the discharge of duty
brings; but we arc conscious of having
done wrong when we have failed to
expose an evil-doer far oftener than when, be-
cause of an exposure, we have been held to
answer in the courts, at the suit Of some char
acterless adyenturer, who claims that we have
done his character a hundred thousand dollars
worth of damages by telling the truth about him.
Newspapers are of course liable to many mis-
takes; but we speak from wide experience
in saying that the mistakes as to persons are
quito rs likely to be those of suppression as of
