WHERE THE GOLD GoEs.-It is esti-
mated that 800, 600, 900 in gold and sill
yer is paid annually by this country as
interest to foreign bond-holders Of ma
tional. state, city and railroad bonds;
and at least $4,000, 900 more is taken
out of the country every year by tour
lists. Moreover our reports Of miscella-
neous products come short of our i'm
ports by several millions, which balance
must also be added to the enormous sum
of $40, 600, 900 to meet our annual pay
ments abroad. Were our gold and silver
mires to cease producing for two or
three years, we should become bankrupt
as a nation; whereas, by q little more
economy in our exports, or by little
more determined effort to produce at
home that which we now buy abroad,
the United States might soon become
the richest and most prosperous nation
on the globe. These facts are repeated
year after year by the public prints; but
the thriftless work of monetary deple.
ton still goes on. The gold and silver
mines of the Pacific Coast seem to be the
only medium by which the catastrophe
OF national bankruptcy can be wardet
off. The nation can we'll afford to hold
them free to all Corners, and in every
way to encourage their being worked &c
their utmost capacity. - Mining and

PISTOL DRAws.-Wm. Dooley is the
name of the gentleman that did not wish
to pay Horace D. Beene his fees for act
ing as an attorney for him in q suit
brought in the Justices Court, but Mr..
Dooley. or his friends. concluded to set
tie, and Dooley was released from Jail.
Later in the afternoon Dooley and Beene
met near the Independent Market and
had some words about the matter, when
Horace drew pistol and hit Dooley
over the head with it, knocking off his
hat, and then drew a bead on him.
Dooley walked away, when Beene put
up his pistol and walked off with an
officer. We don't know what the rights
of this matter are, and il we did. would
not care about publishing them, as we
understand that the case will be brought
before the Grand Jury to-day.
CATTLE THIEVES. From Tom De Mas
tiers. the Hamilton stage driver, who
came in town last evening We learned
that - Wetzel. a resident of Cave Val
ley, and partner of L. V. Loomis, was
met on the road, who reported that he
had just been following some cattle
thieves from Cave Valley over the
mountains into Lake Valley. at which
place he pursued them SO closely that
they left behind the stock, their horses
and everything else, and took to the
brush afoot. Wetzel was lying in wait
for them, thinking they might return
when he intended giving them warm
reception. He is confident he kuows
some of the parties.
JUsrIcE's CoURr.- VIM. Dooley who
was committed for contempt of Court to
the County Jail on Wednesday last, was
yesterday brought before Justice Allen.
and upon his refusing to comply with
the orders of the Court was again COM
mitted to Jail. Some OF his friends,
however, raised the money and paid it
into Court, and the following order was
given to them: I'm Justice Court,

Eastern Dispatches.

CHICAGO, August ia Washington
special says Mr.. Cowau, the Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, anticipates a
good deal of trouble over the Blackhills
question. Reports sent into the Depart
ment from the Blackhills Territory show
that miners are constantly pouring in in
spite Of all the army can do. The army
can order away miners wherever it can
find them, but it is conceded to be an
impossiblity to keep people from going
there The Indians are very warliks. but
have agreed to remain quiet until after
the council Of the Commissioners sent
out by the Department. Mr.. Cowan
says if this council should result unsat-
isfactorily for the Indians, he would ex-
pect nothing else upon their part but
general outbreak.

has been made of o large amount of in
debtedness of Duncan, Sherman & Co.
1t is accommodation paper, in the
form of drafts drawn on them by conf.
Dental clerk in their office, and accepted
by them and sold to various banks
paper probably not less than $500, 900 is
now held in Providence, where the fam
lily Of Duncan has been long and favora-
bly, known, and the agents met with little
difficulty in dsposing of it. One bank
in this city holds $50. 900; another $35, :
900, and still another $50, 000-besides
small amounts in the hands OF numer-
GUS persons, the impression of the &C.
ceptors being that it was drawn against
merchandise and secured, but Duncan
says the proceedings were entirely
straight. and it was more or less the
practice of the house for twenty years to
give letters of credit, for which the father
OF Duncan has become responsible, the
amount only to be about 100000. A
correspondent writing from Paris says
Not half an hour passes but what dom

following particulars Of the la,s stage

the driver, that the stage that RUS from
this town to Forbestovn and La Porte
was stopped about one mile this side of
the Robinson Mill, ON Tuesda, after
noon, and robbed Of ~. 800. Tie coach
contained nine passengers-six zen and
three women, two OF whom were on the
seat with the driver. While going SLOWLY
they were suddenly commanded TO halt
and hand out that box, referrino To
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express. There
were five of the robbers, one armed with
a shotgun and the others with pistols
The one with the gun took station
where be could fire into the stage. while
two assisted in getting out the box. which
was taken few steps away and the sta
pie broken and the bags containing the
dust and the coin taken out. Morse called
to them to hand back the box so
that the ladies' could put their feet
on it. He was told to drive on. Not

was Morse's exclamation. You've
got all out Of it that is worth any,
thing to you, so now give il back. After
little hesitation they did so. Not
one of the passengers Were troubled
though one of the ladies with the driver
had a valuable gold watch and chain that

Railroad. with other officers of the two
roads, held secret conference to decide
on adjusting the freight rates from

Vice-President Cassett expressed the
opinion that the Central and Erie would
in a few days come to an understanding
with his road and the Baltimore and
Ohio, and they would all then work in
harmony.
