claimed to own the cattle, and the defendant
claimed title to them by purchase from third
person, who asserted right to sell the cattle
on the ground that he was primer of the
plaintiff, and that these cattle were partnership
property. The jury found that no partnership
existed, and that the cattle were the sole proper

The principal point urged by the defendant
was that repleyin would not lie in this case.-
The statute gives this remedy for "goods" un-

much learning and ingenuity that goods"

Idaho and Shoshone, two of the most populous
counties in the Territory have declared for the
Union. We give the proceedings of their Con-
ventions in this issue. The Convention for Idaho
county was held at Florence on the 21st ult A
Union ticket was nominated, and a series of reso-
lutions were adopted to which we take pleasure
in inviting attention, inasmuch as in our iudg-
ment they embrace doctrines which are sound and
substantial, and which must ultimately triumph
in the settlement of our present unfortunate diff
culties While they pledge the people to the
support of the legally constituted authorities in
putting down the rebellion, and further urge Wig
action in the prosecution of the war for this
purpose, they declare as positively against divert
ing the powers of the government from their le-
gtimate channel into measures for the abolition
of slavery and kindred political achievements
The resolutions adopted by the Shoshone County
Convention are equally clear and explicit, and
emphatically declare in favor of sustaining the
Federal Government. The Nez Perces County
Convention was called to meet at the Mountain
House, in that county. We are informed that
quite respectable number Of the citizens of the
county assembled on the day appointed, but failed
to accomplish the object of the convention. The
cause of this failure we have not learned but will
venture the opinion that it was broken up on no
slighter grounds than was the convention of our
county. Up to the present time, we have heard
of no nominations for Nez Perces county The
indications already received from the upper coun-
ties are sufficient to warrant the conclusion that
they are thoroughly loyal to the Government, and
will stand along side of Walla Waa county in
its support. On this question, Washington Ter
ritory will be an undivided whole.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD BmL.-Mr McDou-
gall has succeeded in getting the Pacific Railroad
bill before the Senate during the morning hour.
Of course this gives but little time daily for its
discussion before the regular Or special orders of
the day come up. 1t is, however, the only time
which Mr.. McDougall can secure since the defeat
Of his effort to have the railroad bill set down as
a social order. The chances of the passage of
the bill are improving in the Senate. Senator
Latham has made thorough canvass of the body
and finds clear majority of 12 votes in its behalf
There is great danger, however, of very material
amendments being made, which may Hazard the
prospects of the bill when it goes back to the
House. The special grants made to the local
companies in Kansas and California will be ear
nestly opposed by strong men from the north
west, who claim that these companies get the
cream Of the whole affair." leaving to the Central
Company only the skim milk There certainly is
force in this objection but, on the other hand,
if single company is allowed to take the whole
road under its management, there is danger of
the creation Of an overshadowng monopoly
whch-like the Central Railroad Company of
New York-may become a great, corrupting, ty-
rannica and dangerous political power. Indeed
there is not a little fear that this very Company
would get control of the Pacific Railroad, if the
bill passes in such shape shat they can secure it
from terminus to terminus. If the bill goes back
to the House with such an amendment as this, a
new element of opposition may arise based on fear
of the monopoly suggested. hope the bill will
become law before adjournment; but still fear
that amendments will carry it over into next ses-
sion. Its only safety lies in its passage through
the Senate with no amendments whatever. Per-
haps repeated disappointments with respect to
this great measure in years past, make me less
confident and more apprehensive of danger than
the facts justify Correspondence Of the S. F..
Bulletin.

FLORENCE, June 10, 1862
There is great excitement here about the new
discoveries that have been made within the last
ten days 1 cannot tell you anything certain
about it yet but believe the new diggings are
very rich. Three or four thousand men left here
during the last week for them few have come
back for their friends, and they say they have a
good thing. One man told me he panned out
$1,000 in a week, and another said he panned
out $500 in two days. l regard these stories as
somewhat exaggerated, but still have no doubt
that the new discoveries are quite rich.


The mines here are paying very well, and there
is more money being taken out here than any one
has any idea Of Three-fngered Smith took out
of his claim day before yesterday, sixteen hun
dred dollars with three rockers; and Bradley &
Dean took out twenty pounds in one day and
nights run with a single sluice. 1 could name
hundreds that are making from five hundred to a
thousand dollars per day. AS soon as learn all
the particulars about the new dggings will write
you. Yours very truly,

70 the Chaiymcn Of The Boards of Snpcriaten-
dcHtx,--G -Genttrmen: At the last meeting of the
Literary Board was directed to request you to
ascertain and report to me, by September next,
the probable amount due from the School Fund ia
your respective Counties, and the amonnt YOU
have in hand to meet those liabilities.


You will, therefore, cndeavor to ascertain, by
the first or middle of September the whole amount
due to teachers and others at that time, and what
will bc due by the last of the year, to Schools in
operation and for other expenses connected with
the Common School System in short, you will
make out estimate of the amount it would re-
quirc in your respective Counties to make the
School System even with the world TO this
statement you will add another showing the whole
amount Of School Funds in the hands of each of
you, and due to you-and send in your report Of
these matters to me as early in September you
can.


1t is the ardent desire of the Literary Board
that Common School System should be kept
up-but if unlookcd-for accidents should cause its
suspension, it is important that it should not be
stopped until its affairs can all be honorably
wound up.


At no time was there ever more need for such
system and it is to be hoped that our legisla-
tors will take those wis views of this subject
which characterized the statesmen of the first
Revolution, and lorbcar to take q step which will
make us dependent for books and teachers, in the
future, OH present, insolent and malignant
enemies, and give new argument to those who
falsely decry the civilization Of the Confederate
States. Under God, our Common School System
has done much to inuse that life, intelligence and
public spirit into the masses of the people so
prccmincntIy conspicuous in the present ilustrious
position of our glorious States and we should
surely be driven to more desperate position than
any our Yankee enemies can force upon us before
we sacrifice an Institution which has shown Itself
to be, under Providence, fountain of3strength
and honor to North Carolina and of prosperity aud
happiness to her people.


But whatever may happen, our system must
