The Placer Times of the 17th and 18th June, gives glowing accounts of the atun- dance of gold dust which had been just then, or very recently discovered, at Gold Lake. From MarysvilIe and other settle mentS, the inhabitants were starting off n- discrimnateIy y for this new Eureka--lawye yers, doctors, judges, traders, teamsters, mecEnn- ics, and gamblers. It lies at very con- siderable elevation among the mountains that divide the waters of the South Fork of Feather from those of the north branch of the Yuba. It was reported that two thousand per- sons had taken up their journey; that many who were working good claims, and had made considerable progress, were deserting them for the new discovery. Mules and horses were almost impossible to be obtain ed. A supply was expected daily, and most anxiously awaited. Although the truth ot the report rests upon the authority ot but two or three who have returned from Gold Lake, yet but few were found who doubt their marvellous revelations A party of ten Kanakas are reported to have wntered at Gold Lake, subsisting chiefly on the flesh of their animals. They are said to have taken out about $75,00C the first week. The Lake is not large, and alter the wet season ceases, has no outlet. STILL LATER.-I2 o'c1ock.-The Cover nor has just arrived, and reports Gold Lake enthusiasm as still on the increase, parties leaving every hour, provisions high and scarce, and mules not to be had. A man by the name of McLelIand had just ar rived with $7O0O, obtained in four days, and he reports that only the truth has been spoken of this wonderful locality. We have an account of this Gold Lake from another source: It lies at very considerable elevation among the mountains that divide the waters ot the Yuba. The direction from Marvs- vile is little North of East. On account of the rush to the place mules and horses were very difficult to be obtained The first man who came into Marysville took out party of forty as guide, on con dtion they paid him

If we really could be brought to the be- lief, that the valiant spirits of South Carolina Will take up arms against the general gov ernment, we might possibly begin to despair of the Republic: we might, standing in fear and tremblingsSput on the habiliments ot woe at the idea of their withdrawing from the Union and allowing the rest of the States togo to ruin. Even the thougM that this lorious confederacy of States brought together like orient pearls atrandom strung" should be broken up and pass into oblivion, disturbS us. 1t makes us fear that the hopes of republican freedom will be forever des- troyed, and that the chaos and confusion of the dark ages will throw their black pail around us. We would most earnestly inn plore the Buffers, Rhetts, Hommonds, and Barnwells to have a little more regard for those few of us who unfortunately do not luxuriate in the refining shade of the Pal metto. To be sure there are on y twenty millions of us; but even this small number is not wholly undeserving of notice. We would do almost anything rather than that these patriots should execute their threats. We would willingly submit to a heavy tax in order to meet the expense of their colon- ization to some lone island in the Pacific, where their sublime invocatlOns to the god dess of liberty and justice may rise in har- monv with the music of the surging pillows. It i'll becomes South Carolina to assume a swaggering tone. She is ever boasting of her virtues, her great men, and her chiv- alric devotion to the country. But she would show her claims to respect in much more decent way, if she would go to work and give her citizens republican form of government. She holds popular suffrage in utter contempt. With Gov. Hammond she thinks her leading men should command and the people obey. Her constitution is more fit for a monarchy than democracy. The true spirit and genius of free institutions breathes not the breathe of life into her con- stituton. She hardly dares permit the peo- pie to

The strength of women lies in their heart. II shows itself in their strong love and instructive perception of right and wrong. Intellectual courage is rarely one of their virtues. As a rule they are inclined to be restless and eX- citable, allowing their judgments and actions to be swayed by quick emotions Of all kinds: but, above all, il is in their hopefulness and their endurance that they find their chief power. Who is the last person to give up hope in the case of member of the family who has apparently gone altogether to the bad? What mother or sister with deep and ardent love for such will ever cease to cherish hope or endure suffering on their account? The patience of women is proverbial, and their whole lives are bound up in their affections. Few peo- pie will deny that love in one form or another MAKES up the beauty of life to woman. 1t enters into all she does. ANY work outside her immediate circle is unuertaken most often from pure de- sire to help someone else to know some thing ofth mysterious happines of love. Unlike men, women chiefly look for personal intercourse witt those for whom they are working If their interest lies among the poor, they are desirous of sympathetic personal acquaintance with them, and very little good work of a lasting kind has been done by women without their own influence of love being brought to bear on the individual
