MINER
DEPORTATION OF THE IRISH STATE PRIS
ONERS.—On Sunday the 8th of July, the Ir
ish Patriots, O'Brien, Mengher, McManus
and O'Donohoe were placed on board the
war schooner Swift, and took up their mel
ancholy way to the land of their exile.
Ireland, the home of their birth, and the
lard for which they have spent their dearest
action, has faded, perhaps forever, from
their sight, and a lonely -exile, in the far off
and dreary land of Van Deimona, ss now tho
only prospect upon which their miml can
dwell.
A writer in tho Freeman gives a graph
ic description of the ecene of their final de
parture. Their friends were gathered a
round in large numbers, and emotions of
the deepest and most painful character
were depicted upon the countsnance, of both
friends and foes. ••The prisoners were ap
parently the most unconcerned of all that
were present. At that painful moment,
when they were about to be separated fore
v.
er, perhaps from theirfriends 4- the land they
loved eo well, they displayed the utmost de
gree of calmness and fortitude. Their de
meanor showed that they were, as from the
beginning, prepared for 'either fortune,' and
that, either on the scaffold, or consigned to
the conrict ship, they were men who would
neither bend nor tremble at their fate. Not
to speak of the poignant grief they must na
turaly have felt at parting from their dear
est friends and relatives—some of them from
wives, childern, sisters and brothers—their
thoughts appeared to be more for their coun
try than for themselves. Their language
and bearing demonstrated that they could
very easily and calmly suffer the "law's ven
geance" visited upon themselves, and that
their feelings and aspirations were far high
er ai.d more noble than any, -into which a
particle ofself could enter. Their thoughts
were still about the country and "the good
old cause,' nov ^rrUo,t their own deBtiny or
sufferings might be. "My last worOo oo
leaveing the country, (said the brilliant and
devoted young Pariot, Thomas Francis
Meagher) shall be, don't give up the good
old cause."
Such were the feelings of those nobis
hearted and undaunted men, even at that
moment when others in their painful posi
tion might rather be overborne by despair
and sorrow than entertain a glimmering of
hope for the prosperity or happiness of their
native land—that land for their love of
which they were condemned to the penalty
of exile.
Before leaving, they wrote a short but
feeling adderss to their fello'v conntrymen.
tendering their grateful acknowledgements
for the symphathy and solicitude which had
been manifested in their behalf, and express
ing the confident hope that the cause of their
country would not be forgotten. The ad
dress exhibits a total absence of self, as well
as a forbearance of complaints against their
persecutors. Their destination is ostensi
bly .for Van Dcimond's land, but etrong
hopeswre entertained that this sentence may
be commuted to simple expatriation, leaving
the exiles to select their own^^ture resi
dence. The Sw\Jl is said to have sailed un
der sealed orders, which are not to be open
ed till they reach a certain latitude, the
contents of which, it is surmised, are in ac
cordance with the above suggestion.
Wherever they go, the benedictions of
their countrymen, and of all true lovers of
iiJUrty will rest upon them, and should they
4^-gri^ed the boon of choojMg.their exile
lloCfie, they would find in the institutions
of oar own happy America, th&v b$au idea)
.of freedom and liberty, which they h%ve set
ardently, but vainly sought in their natira»
land. '!v

FROM THE PLAINS.—The GalenaGazette
publishes extracts from a letter received
from -a former citizen of that place, dated
June 14th, 150 miles beyond Fort Laramier,
and within eight days travel ofthe South
Pass.
The grass is reported to be better on the
i plains this year than for many years pre
jvious. Thov find a plenty of Buffalo, and

of Mr. O. S. X. Peck, Attorney at^Law,
Washington City. .. v,
Mr. Peck is well known to mosi ofihe
older citizens of our State, as one in whom
the utmost confidence may be reposed.
He has held the responsible situation of
Clerk in the Treasury Department, for some
time past, and h^s recently been ostracised
by the proscription hating administration of
General Taylor, to make way for a party

Gavin Duffy has issued a prospectus for

The tirst number will appear about the

writers: whether he will venture to publish
any strong articles against the government
remains to be seen.
A fatal form of Dysentery is prevailing in

MINERAL DISCOVER JES IN THE WEST

The following letter from Mr. CORKERY,
the highly intelligent .Secretary ofthe Board
of Public Works, will be read with much
interest. We have often hoard the convic
tion expressed by experienced miners, who
are in the habit of pronouncing on the min
eral resources of a country from its general
appearance, that rich deposites of galena
would yet be discovered in the interior of
our State. The section of the country in
which tho discovereis reported by Judge
Corker/ have been made, besides being
equal to any other for purposes of agricul
ture, is known to contain abundant supplies
of stone coal and gipsum. We hope the ex
amination may be continued, and Solicit our
friends to keep us advised of its progress and
results.

dence not having been deemed sufficient by
the Diet Court, the cause was sent to Cedar.
The Supreme Court sustained the Dist. Court,
on the first point, but reversed the judgment
on the ground that the reasons given upon tho
full examination of the witnesses were sufficient
to preveuVthe case lrom go'ng to Cedar co. It

*5 ,FRANCE AND ROME.
All eyes are now turned to see what
trance will do with conquered Rome. It^has in our time extended a powerful flrotec
to (ho nr\ini.n aT tU.4 r. n
is the opinion of many, that her di&cutei§£
in this intervention have only begun. She
stepped between Austria, Naples and Spain,
professedly to secure to the Romans a liber
al constitution on the restoration of the
Pope. The other powers proposed to restore
him absolutely and without eonditon. The
Romans said to France, we want none of
your aid we can defend ourselves against
the absolutist friends of Pius—only let us
alone, treat us as one republic should treat
another, and we will guaranty eur own free
dom. But France persisted, and in' her'
persistence betrayed deeper and darfcervde*
signs than her proposed intervention im
plied.
Oudinot, enraged at the heroism ofthe Ro
mans, threw off disguise, and declared that
the iloman Republic was not a creation o£
the Roman people, but a reign, of terrorj
which France meant to put downi At the
same time the Pope said.
:i
I will not accept
a restoration based on conditions imposed
by the Romans if France does not absolute
ly restore me to my rights, I will throw my
self into the hands of those who will.!' In
the face of this declaration, the French 'ar

doubt in view of the fact, that the French
Government intend to accede to the Pope's
terms if they restore him at all]
Now the question arises, will the-French
nation sustain its Governmenfin trampling
on the liberty of tfoe RomanP^ and on the
spirit in which the intervention was pro
posed? We believe it will not. Wliat.then,
is the consequence—the Pope must carry out
his threat and throw bimselfinto the hands
of Austria and the confederate legitimist
powers. Then France will stand where
she ought to have stood from the start, ne
cessitated either to abandon Rome arid Ita'y
or make the cause ofthe Romans her own.
By doing the latter, she might wipe away
the shatnc 6he has already incurred. Do
what Louis Napoleon and his ministry may
the French people are the foes of Austrian
and Russian despotism, and as much, they
will soon be forced to show their hands.—
Then, the war of Europe commences. Lou

on the surface. If he
engaged tojrestore the Pope as the price o!
a crown for himself, he has deceived him
6elf. The coalition will, if thay succeed in
putting down republicanism in Europe, place
crowns on the heads of legitimists only—it
will be Henry the Fifth and not Louis Na
poleon. King of France.
What a farce does it seem—republican
France doing the work of Austria and Rus
sia. What a farce—the career of Charles
Albert. He made war on Austria because
froced to do it by his people and because he
could lose nothing and might gain much. If
he had succeeded against Austria, he would
have gratified his ambition as king of Italy,
instead of Sardinia. In failing, he knew
that his crown would not be lost. Austria,
intent on legitimacy, secured it to his son,
and 60, without a feehhg of republicanism
or patriotism Charles

lbert gave his peo­
ple for a time to worse bondage. But there
appears a hand on the wall—a strange
hand to be writing "thus far and no farther"
to despotism. That hand is England's.—
She it is who has instigated Turkey to op
pose her borders to Russia—she it is who
will demand of France justice to the Ro
mans—she it is who will yet 6pend treasure
and 6hed blood ere she permits Russia to
absorb Europo. The Pope may be restored,
but France will be forced to do justice to the
Romans. Loujs Napoleon will yet be cast
off, and France will become the ally of those
who »truggle for freedom. Hungary will
ultimately triumph—Turkey will not be
despoiled by Rulsia—Austria will not be
forcgd from Italy—The Germans will kill
the|r brood of tyrants, and Europe, albeit,
through a bloody war, will manifest the lib
erty she now so confusedly asserts. New
principles cannot be innoculated into nations
and perfected in a day.

human nature and of human government.
If they fancied that as America had ac
quired great territories, and extended tliera
to the south and west in all directions, she
had more land than she knew how to culti
vate, more people than she knew how to
govern, and more produce than che knetf
how to consume, and therefore that she
would not look to the north and not seek to
extend her influence in that quarter, then he

AERIAL WAKFAKE—A correspondent of
the London Chronicle, writing from Vien
na, June 24th, says: It seems to bo the se
rious intention ofthe Government to try the
effect of aerial warfare upon the rebellious
cities of the empire. Experiments are be
ing made here to test the practicability of
bombarding towns from tho air, and the
balloon practice is said to answer perfectly.
Some hundred balloons are already in ptfS
cess of completion. I have not seen nor
can I give you the exact dimensions. All
I know is, that they are capable of holding
sixty pound bombs, which will fall from a
prodigiou3 height. This novel species of
attack will first be brought into operation,
over Venice. If successful there, the for
tresses of Comorn and Peterwardein will
probably share the benefits ofthe discoveryii:
