THE GOLD COAST.

The Gold Coast of Western Africa has
for many wears supplied the commerce OF
the world with no inconsiderable amount
Of the precious metal. 1t was not OBJ
tanned directly from the placers, but by
trading with the natives who exchanged
gold dust and ivory for calico and mus
kets, powder, lead and hardware. If,
however, II statement is reliable, made by
Captain Glover at a banquet given him
in Liverpool, that region is likely to be
soon invaded by the ubiquitous gold dig
ger. Captain Glover in his speech made
in reply to a toast wherein his health was
drank. said:
In conclusion he described the great
gold wealth of the country twenty miles
north of Accra, observing that it was a
matter of surprise that this fact had not
been more prominently brought before
the public. Accra was only % days sail
from Liverpool. and a man had only to
take walk Of twenty miles from Accra,
and he could dig up gold as easily as be
could potatoes IN this country.
When We recollect that Captain Glover
was high in command in the Ashantee
expedition, and led a separate brigade
composed principally of Europeans and
natives, We should suppose that he knew
whereof he was speaking. Though
probably some allowance must be made,
as il was an after dinner Grafton.

playing very successful engagement at
the California Theater. The Call saws
his rendering of the character of 1.-THE

The Bulletin says his Belghegor " was

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-The case of
Benjamin R. Drew, VS.. the Central Pa
citic Railroad Company, was tried in the
Twelfth District Court to-day. Drew
sued the company for $4,000 damages
for an alleged breach of contract. Plain
tiff on the 3D. of September, 1872 pur-
chased at Omaha second-class ticket TO
San Francisco, from defendants agent
the Union Pacific Railroad COMPANY.
The plaintiff took the cars at Omaha
and rode as far as Brighton Station, near
sacramento, where he arrived on the
18th OF September. Up to this time his
ticket was accepted as satisfactory. Here
the conductor refused to take his ticket
and elected plaintiff from the train. He
was then compelled to walk back to Sac.
ramento, distance of five or six miles
The jury rendered verdict for plaintiff
for $500.
The Merchants Exchange Bank will

SOUTH AFRICA.

A friend of ours has favored us with q
copy of Port Elizabeth (South Africa
paper dated March 6, from which we
learn that the new gold fields are proving
to be rich, and large number of men
are already at work and many more on
their way. The product Of the diamond
fields is declining, though still many
good finds are being made. In view of
the serious decline of prices in the Eu-
ropean market, this lessening of the sup
ply is thought to be advantageous to all
engaged in the mines, as it is hoped that
prices will shortly improve. The
area of the country containing gold plac-
ers is thought TO be immense, extending
from the Zambezi southwark. Very
rich gold quartz lodges are found, and al
ready machinery is being erected for
crushing. A vast amount of rain has
fallen this season, and the colony is gen.
orally in n more hourishing condition
than ever. 1t is curious to note its list
of exports, diamonds, gold, ivory, ostrich
feathers, hides, wool, mohair and wine.
Tolerably valuable articles when one can
get enough of them.

mind him of circumstance which &C.

was cruising off Port May, i'll the Car S
jurisdiction. He learned that number
Of Japanese, engaged in collecting sea
moss, discovered mountain on Termin-
alton island, % miles northeast of Port
May, wonderfully rich in gold. The
Japs had worked about two weeks, and
had taken ont large amount when the
Russian soldiery stationed on the main
land, about two miles distant, learned
what was going on and Immediately took
possession of the mines in the name of
the Emperor. The japanese were per.
mitted to depart with an intmatlon that
if they returned to the island, they would
be provided for life with situations as
miners elsewhere within the Cars do
mains. The Captain saw very rich spec
linens from Termination Island, while at
Port May. They were of coarse gold,
from the surface of the mountain.

GALLANT. - The Virginia Enterprise
takes up hopeless cause and Il thank
less task as cheerfully as any regular
party hack we have ever noticed. OF
late 1t has defended the rascally State
Government of South Carolina, made a
suffering angel of the malignant ex- Gov
ernor Davis of Texas, and is now setting
to work, like another Mark Tapley, to
prove that Durell, the Louisiana Judge,
is not corrupt scoundrel, and that the
Kellogg Government was elected by the
people. The exploits of Don Quixote de
la Mancha are nothing to the feats that

lessly, attempts.
