From Oregon. The steamer Car
olina arrived at San Francisco on the
1st of July, but is reported to have
brought no papers. She left the
mouth of the Columbia river on the
28th of June.
We learn, however, by a previous
arrival, that the reports of the disoov.
iy of gold in Oregon had heen con
firmed. A letter from a respectable
gentleman of St. Helens, (formerly
Plymouth,) dated May 29, says :
A great excitement prevails here;
gold is found everywhere, nnd parties
are constantly forming for further ex
plorations A party of some of our
respectable merchants left Portland, a
few days since, for the Wallah-WaN
lah, a tributary of the Columbia. The
movement proceeded from a parcel
of sand which was brought in by the
Indians, which yielded 30 per cent
pure gold. And in consequence of
this and the many other similar re
ports, flour has risen from $18 to $40
per barrel in Oregon City, and other
articles of consumption in proportion.
Reports from Rogue's River rep
resent gold as very abundant upon
that stream. A large party, Mr.
among the number, start in a few
weeks, the water permitting, for
Mount St. Helens, which is well
known to be a gold region. I have
seen a large lot of fine silver ore from
that place. The Indians represent it
as very abundant. Mount St. Helens
is about 30 miles due North from this
place.
A correspondent of the Now Yrk
Courier has found a mare's nest in a
story of a project to unite Mexico
with the Southern Confederacy. We
have a rumor here that some person
4iad been to Mexice, assuming to be
an agent of the Southern States. Mr.
Clayton asked a person lately from
Mexico and now in this city, who the
agent was statin!" that her knew the
fact of a secret, agency. The reply
did not ignore the fact, and was mys
terious enough to lead to the belief
that he the party enquired of was
'himselt the agent. It was, no doubt,
some individual project. Many per
sons every year, approach this gov
ernment, us is the case in all govern
merits, with projects, sometimes with,
but generally without any basis. More
of the Mexican States, if not ail of
them, would be glad to enter into this
Confederacy or any Confederacy that
could ensure to them tranquility. This
was ascertained and reported to this
.government by Mr. Clifford, Minister
to Mexico, after the war. If this
federative system should not break
dovn on the slavery question that is
on the question of political equality
between the btateholding and non
slavehojdmg States, it must embrace
the Contbeot and the adjacent islands.
Gen. Taylor's financial affairs were
represented by some letter writers, to
have boo? in an embarrassed state at
the time of his death, Messrs. Maun
sel. White &. Co., of New Orleans,
have published an article in the Pica
yune, of that city, f n contradiction of
this rumor. The following is the
closing portion of the article:
"The representations, we are happy
to be able to say, are unfounded in
every particular. As his agents for
more thati twenty-five years, we can
say with some certainty that he leaves
to his family, in bank stocks and other
valuable property, the amount of two
hundred thousand dollars.
"Ho never, to our knowledge, was
indebted to any one. Wc have never
seen hid obligation in the shape of a
note. He died without owing a dollai.
"By making this public, you will
remove a very injurious impression,
and make known facts that will cause
general gratification,
"Very respectfully,
"MAUNSEL, WHITE & CO "
The Houston, Texas, Telegraph
says that preparations are in progress
in all parts of the State, for a grand
expedition to the gold region that has
been discovered in Northern Texas,
not far from the ruins of the celebra
ted city of Grand Quivira. Gold
mines have been found nil along the
f;reat chain of mountains extending
rom the sources of the Arkansas and
Platte rivers by Santa Fe, to the
Puerco. Immense excavations are
shown along the feet of these moun
tains, and the ruins of vast cities indi
cate that these mines were once
worked by millions of people. The
geographical formations of this region
re so similar to those of the gold
regions of California, that they appear
to be identical, and contain similar
deposits of the precious metals. These
facts have been made known through
out Texas, and the Telegraph would
not be surprised to find that the emi
gration to the gold region of Texas, in
the ensuing autumn, should exceed
the emigration to California. All
along the Indian frontier, and through
out the interior of the State, the notes
of preparation are sounding, and
thousands may be found wending their
way to Northern Texas in the course
of two or three months. The excite
ment in regard to this expedition has
perhaps never been equalled.
Health op Gen. Cob. The Mem
phis Appeal of the 3rd instant, says:
"it is with extreme regret that we
announce the hopeless condition of
Gen. Coe. For the Inst week he has
been gradually sinking, nnd we learn
that his life is now despaired of by
his physicians. A few days more will
probably terminate his earthly exis
tence, and deprive society and the
State of one of the most valned mem
bers and able and useful citizens."
Two Locos were heard conversing
not long since in Carroll county on the
death of Gen. Taylor. One remarked,
that it was the providence of God that
removed Gen. Taylor, in order to
save the country from a mnl-ndminis
trationof the Government. The other
contended that that was not the right
charge to make, for said he, "you
know wc have all along made the
charge that Fillmore was an Aboli
tionist, and it won't do to charge the
Lord with afflicting the South with
such a President." This brought the
first to a pause. At length he broke
silence and said, "well how will we
fix that?" "Why," said the other,
"we'll make both charges. When
we find a man' who is n little supersti
tious we'll charge the death of Taylor
upon God and ask him if he don't see
that the Lord is against the Whig
party; and when we find a man of
sense, but one who loves his negroes,
why we will charge Fillmore with
being an Abolitionist."
Doctrinal. According to the Sy
racuse Standard, the following is tl e
latest teaching by the spiritual knock
ers:
"Angels are spirits that once lived
in the flesh. There are no other, and
'there is no devil.' The word 'devil,'
vicious, wicked and evil, refers to
spirits of the lowest sphere, called
ignorant ones. We are taught that
tiie churches are all wrong; that sec
tarianism and creeds are an abomina
tion; that there should be one univer
sal church of the brethren, including
all without distinction of caste or
color."
Louis Philippe.--Major Noah sas,
"there was at one time an attempt to
create public sympathy lor the poor
lix-King of the French, on nccount
of the extreme poverty nnd destitution
to which the ingrate republicans had
reduced him. It appears that the old
gentleman, like a prudent old gentle'
man, as he always was, has taken
pretty good care amid the shaking of
empires and the wreck of his throne,
to feather his nest pretty well. His
private fortune has suffered great
depreciation within the last two years,
but still it yields him the snug little
income ol $800,000 a year, or there
abouts."
A Shrewd One A deacon in -a
certain town in Connecticut complain
cd to n landlord of some bad conduct
of his boy in his absence. The boy
denied the charge, and said it was
like the deacon's other stories; on j
which the landlord ordered the hoy )
to be silent, and learn better than to
contradict a person of the deacon's
age and standing. Soon afterwards
the deacon addressed a physician
present, and wanted to know what
would be good for a sore finger which
pained him very much? The doctor
replied that he would find benefit by
putting it into strong lye. The boy
being called on to prepare the medi
cine, shrewdly observed, "Doctor, let
the deacon put his finger in his inoulh
and tell that story again it must
answer the same purpose I"
Pedestrian Feat.---One day last
week, says the Minnesota Pioneer, of
a late date, Paul Solieau made a trip
of 120 miles on foot, from Otter Lake
to Crow Wing, in 15 hours, on an
embassy to the Ch:ppewas. A very
fleet young Chippewa started with
him on a small wager. Pedestrians
about our cities, who boast of running
ten miles in a single hour, would be
troubled to follow alt day such voy
ageurs, on foot, as Paul Boileau,
Alexander McLeod, or old man
Aiken, of Swan River.
Water is composed of certain gas,
one of them quite explosive. The
other night, when Prof. Howtand, in
Pittsburg, was decomposing water
and causing terrific explosions of its
competent gases, a rather free liver
in the audience exclaimed, as he held
hia hnnds in his ears "Catch me
putting water in my liquor after this
I might be blown up like the boiler
of a steamboat."
Afraid it Would Smap.A little
boy was sent up stairs by his mother
to get a satchel that hung behind a
wardrobe. The boy returned without
the required article, upon which his
mother asked :
Couldn't you find it T
Yes, I saw it there, but
.ttri... .'IJn'l tiAH rrnl it tKAn t
, V HUH J vu -...
'Because the old musket stood close
by it, said the boy, shaking his head
knowingly, -and was afraid it would
snap at me.
Good. There is a volume of good
sense in the following brief piece, by
Sidney Smith:
There is one circumstarce I would
preach up, morning, noon, and night
to young persons, for the management
of their understanding. Whatever
you aro from nature, keen to it, never
desert your own line of talent. If
Providence only intended you to write
posies lor rings, or mottoes for t wellth
cakes, keep to posies mottoes: a good
motto for a twelfihcake is more re
spectable than a villainous epic poem
in 12 books. Be what nature intend
ed you for, and you will succeed; he
any thing else, and you will be ten
thousand times worse than nothing.
They have got a great necroman
cernt -chaghticoke. Among the feats
which he performs are the following:
He gives any gentleman leave to
drive forty twelve-penny nails into
the fleshy part of his person, after
which he takes a seat in a load stone
chair, when they are all drawn out
again.
He likewise draws the teeth of half
a dozen different gentlemen, mixes
nnd jumbles them in a hat, and gives
any person leave to blind fold him,
and returns each their own, and fixes
them as well as ever.
He also swallows a pound and a
half of gun-powder, after which he
allows any gentleman to "touch him
oft" with a hot poker, when he instant
ly becomes blown into ten thousand
fragments; and yet a moment after
wards he is "as good as new."
With his forefinger and thumb, he
thrusts several gentlemens' and ladies'
eyes out of their heads, without the
least pain, at which time they see an
unspeakable number of beautiful col
ors; and after they are entertained to
the full, he places them again in their
proper sockets, without any damage
to the sight.
He lets any gentleman drink a
quart of hot melted lead, and bv a
draught of prepared liquor, of which
he tak"s part himself, he makes the
said lead pass through the said gen
tleman, before nil the company.
He concludes the performance by
standing on his head and throwing
both legs out of the scuttle, after which
ha swallows his head, takes himself
by the neck, and rushes along tight
rope and up a liberty pole.
