A country gentleman came up to town
on business, and confded a considerable
sum of money 10 the care of particular
friend Having settled his affairs, be
went to his friend for the money confded
to his keeping; the latter was so base as
to express his surprise, and to deny hav-
ing received any money.


Our poor friend from the country,
whom we will call Mr.. Frankheart. was
almost in despair, but he went and told
his case to magistrate of great ability.


The magistrate asked Frankheart if he
had taken any receipt, or if there had
been any witness to the transaction.


Frank heart answered, that as he had
no suspicion of the man he believed to
be his friend, he had not taken any re-
ceipi, and that the only witness was the
knave's own wife


After little reflection, the magistrate
told Frankheart to stepinto an inner room,
aud be then sent for the man who had
PLAYED SO treacherous part


On his arrival, the magistrate thus ad-
dressed hip:


Il understand that you have received
as deposit a large SUN of money, aud
that you refuse to restore it to its right
owner"


The mans only answer was denial of
the accusation.


"Wcil," replied the magistrate, "let US
suppose you innocent but, in order to
convince me Of it, write to your wife (who
is said to have been witness to the trans
action the letter | am about to dictate
to you:


"'My beloved wife,-I beg of you to
give the bearer Of this letter the sum
which. about fortnight ago, you saw
Dir. Frankheart confde to my care. l
am ABOUT to restore it 10 him."


All resistance was in vain The letter
was written, and was closely examined
by the magistrate, to see that it contain
ed the preceding words, and no others.


In very short space Of time the mes
senger returned with the sum Of money
which Mr. Frankheart had confdcd to
his faithless friend.


The latter, convicted Of dishonesty,
threw himself on his knees before the
magistrate, who reprimanded him most
severely, and TO increase his shame aud
confusion, called in Dir Prankheart, the
friend he had treated 80 basely.


OF course, the culprit could offer no
excuse. The money was restored to It's
owner, who was advised by the magistrate
to be more cautious ia future.

This sudden exposition came like an
electric shock to the poor tailor. He
rnshed from the house, ran to his shop,
and sudden revusion of thought and
feeling came over him. Making breeches
was exactly in his line of business. He
returned to his occupation thoroughly
cured of his prophetical revelations by

Discovery OF Rich GOLD MINES EXPECTED ENrGPA


TIoN FROM CALIFoRNIA-FREE NEGRO EM1GRAr1oy


To THE MosQUITo SHORE.


GRENADA, Nc, March q, 1S6l-Editors of the
Delta Considerable excitement has been occasion
ed of late account of the discovery of new and
exceeding rich gold mines in the department of
Chantaes in this State. A general emigration to
the mines has been going for the past six weeks
and the reward of the labor of those who have
gone, proves that the reports are by no means il
lusory. During the past week over six hundred
ounces of the precious metal have been sold in this
place, to say nothing of that which has found its
way to Leon and San Juan.


The government of this country is certainly op-
posed to the entrance of foreigners into the coun
try, but the people at large favor immigrat alton,
there is not much likelihood of the mines being
disturbed Some such impulse as the discovery of
these mines has been greatly needed to influence
emigration to this rich and beautiful but unhappy
country. '


We are in receipt of news here of the arrival nm
the Mosquito shore of a body of one hundred and
fifty free colored people from New Orleans. More
are expected to join them presently. They have
come well prepared with provisions, implements
and arms, and have already commenced cultivat
the soil in locality near Bluefeld. Is then the
policy of Messrs. Wade and Seward to be realized.
and is this glorious land, for which so many bra-e
men died, to be cOlonized by free blacks? Let the
South look to this movement


The American treaty has been ratified by this
Congress-; but with such amendments that il will
never be accepted by the United States Govern

PENSACOLA, Tuesday night, April 30.-I wrote
last night Of the desertiOn of two men from Fort
Pickens, and of their safe arrival on this side
They enlisted in the regular army of the United
States about five months ago. for the purpose, as
they were told, of serving the government against
the hostile Indians of Texas ana New Mexico new
er dreaming they would be called upon to use their
sabres and bayOnets against their own country
men. No protestation would move their officers
to give them an honorable discharge from the ser
vice of government which had viola ted its pledge
and falsifed its wOrd and they were forced to EN-
bark with their regiment Tor service at Fort Pick
ems. Before their arrival they meditated deser-
tion, with number of others. They had made
several attempts to escape, but thwarted from
one cause another.


Monday morning, after muster of the troops,
they srOlled along the beach several miles east OF
Pickens, when they discovered on the shore small
skih the property of some fishermen who had been
in the habit of camping the island previous to
the order of Gen. Bragg against drawing their
nets in that neighbOrhOOd 1t was a crazy old
affair and leaked badly from exposure. But they
had gone too far to look back, and resolved to
brave the dangers OF reaching the mainland, some
four miles distant. In quick haste the little boat
was launched; the wind and tide favored their
course, and with light hearts they stood for 'Deer
Point" Half way across the sound their boat fill
ed with water. Diyesting themselves of all cloth

in safety. Soon afterwards the little Confederate

opportunity; that the officers are very suspicious
and watch every ovement of soldiers and sailors.

the island at work; they taken from their
owners at Key West by force.

this morning. She was boarded by Key West
