TRINITY CENTER Under date of
April 9th, "Jack" sends us lengthy
communication, which, owing to the press
OF other matter this week, we are obliged
to condense as follows " Haskins Il Co.,
on Shoo-hy Hill, have put in an under
current and find that they have been los
ing about S25 per week, which they now
save. A. NJ. Carter, on Morrison Gulch,
has been picking up some fine specimens
of late, and his claim prospects better
than ever before. +. Ii. Bloss, of the
Trinity Center claim, will begin slucing
again this week. He is getting back on
the main channel, and the ground pros
poets splendidly. There has been quite
an excitement here concerning the cin-
nabar mine discovered last Summer by
Hackett & Lytle, and the country around
there for miles has been taken up. There
will be great deal Of prospecting done
this Summer, as the men who have
claims think it is the richest and most
extensive quicksilver bearing region in
the world. U. S. Deputy Surveyor Low
den was up there about two weeks and
run out the lines of the claims that are
located. Many of our citizens who, q
short time ago, were as poor as "church
mice" are now looked upon as landed
arstocrats and bloated bondholders. Our
usually dull town has been made quite
lively of late by II convention that has
been in session several days, and had not
adjourned at ten o'clock last night. l
wished very mnch to ring in, but was
told This is Murphy Convention and
you are no Murphy"

TX the city of Nashville they have a
backwoods Judge or some body in au-
thority who iOrbids newspaper reporters
having access to the county Jail for the
purpose of having any interview or com
munications with prisoners without first
procuring the written consent Of The
Attorney General, the Judge, or all the
Commissioners. No other city or town
in the country has any such a regula-
ton. We will venture 10 say that the
order emanates from some one who was
picked up when timber was scarce and
made suddenly great by some newspaper.
Aud thai is one reason the papers do
not always inspire public confidence
They often make a public man, get dis
gusted with the job, aud then turn
round, in their remorse Of conscience,
and abuse him to their hearts content
expecting the people to believe them all
the while.

When the sea is perfectly clear and
transparent, it allows the eye to distin-
guish objects at a very great depth.
Near Mindora, in the Indian Ocean, the
spotted eorals are plainly visible under
twenty-five iGthoms of water. The crys-
taline clearness OF the Caribbean Sea
excited the admiration of Columbus, who
in the pursuit of his great discoveries
ever retained an open eye for the beau
ties of nature. In passing over these
splendidly adorned grounds, says Schopf,
where marine life shows itself in an end
less variety of forms, the boat, suspended
over the purest crystal, seems to float in
the ala, SO that a person unaccustomed
to the scene easily becomes giddy. On
the clear sandy bottom appear thousands
of sea stars, sea-urchins, mollusks, and
fishes of brilliancy Of color unknown
in our temperate seas. Fiery red, intense
blge, lively green and golden yellow per-
petuaiiy gary; the spectator floats over
groves of sea plants, gorgonias, corals,
slcyoniums, 6abelligms gpd sponges,
that afford no less delight to the eye, and
are no less gently agiteted by the waters
heaving, than the most beautiful garden
on earth when gentle breeze passes
through the waving boughs.

the Postofiice black, presumably out Of

CHIcor CRY is an important entrepot
on the Mississippi river, where two rail.
roads and two large New Orleans pack
cts center, but the place has no direct
connection with Memphis, except by
passing boats. This trade is we'll worth
looking after, and it is suggested that
some good boat, like the Pat Cleburne,
could make it pay by going into this
trade, provided our merchants would
give it their hearty support.
