The Gold ix Mr.xtcp.--A letter to tne is ew
6rleana Crescent, dated Corpus Chrisri, Feb. C.-ays:
"TlfB recent arrival from Mier. end Durango, sve
ltarn that this inioJerable gold fever, which is now con
suming the Yankees, has taken equally, as severe a bold
on the nnivVrsal magnanimous Mexican Dation. - Mr.
Redmond, ihepartner of Mr, Mann, merchant, of this
place, who has just returned from a trading tour through
the Northern Provinces of Mexico, stales that large
and
tl
numbers of Mexicans have started for the placers! of
caiuornia, jungnsti, scotch and Mexican miners nave
invested largv amounts of money in equippinffand send-
ng over their: parties to bring away the precious metals,
nnd the number already en route for the " diggis " has
been eetirhated at 15,000!
" A conducta of 2,00,000 in.silver recently left the
fair San Juan de los Lagos, for the cold region of Cali
fornia to purchase gold dust ; and another passed through
rarras with 400,000 for the same purpose

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Indeendent, the Washington corres
bondent of the Philadelphia " North A4
mericah," who always appears to be e-x
ceedingly well informed as to matters and.
"ngs abbul the Federal city, saysjin.hid
communicauon oi r eDruary otn : l j
I have said on former'occasionsl thai
the administration -of the Treasury De
partment has been corrupt from the in
stalment of the present dynastyy and I say
now, that whenever its affkirs
-7.. . ."J
are qioseiy
scanned, the investigation will furnish the!
most astounding disclosures. Whenever1
the books of the : Treasury are open'to fair
inspection, it will appear that immense aI4
lowanees have been made to partizans
without law or the pretence of service.
A sing e taci win lirustraie a nosi oi sucn j
cases, and I defy the Government: paper
to dispute it.
During the war, a clerk in the Treasu4
ry Department, with aproper number of
assistants was detailed to convey a mill
ion of dollars in specie from New York to
New Orleans. This immense sum of mo
ney was despatched, if 1 am rightly in
t formed, without insurance. It was delivi
ered safely, and the Treasury officers were
allowed their trading expenses. But Mr;
Walker, in order to provide for one, of his
favorites, attached a Mr. McFarjjan to the
expedition, to whom he paid $4000 for the
trip, and placed it to the account of Mexj
torn hostilities ! Now, the question may
be fairly asked, is this system of pension
ing personal partizans on the Treasury
honestranxnay it not be presumed with
out injustice,- that a public functionary
who is capable of such a transaction, iis
fully equal to any other that only requires
the exercise of his ingenuity, or the elas
ticity of his conscience ? ' j
" THE HOMESTEAD.
The .Wadesboro Argus says: We ou
serve that Homestead Bills that is bills
providing for the exemption of the home
stead of every family from execution-
are, or recently have been, pending before
the Legislatures of several of the States.
This we are greatly pleased to see. Wa
are strongly in favor of a homestead law j
and do earnestly hope that one may sooi
be enacted in North Carolina. Such ;
provision would greatly redound to the
happiness and prosperity of a large mal-
jority of our people, and powerfully tenq
to
sv
stay the flood of emigration
that
it h
shal
g over -our borders.
We
avail burself of a " convenient season" to
give our reasons for this the faithlthat is
in us. In the mean time we present the
views of Mr, JefTerson on this subject as
We Gnd them in an exchange : J
When the war is over, and our free
dom won, the people must makefa neiv
declaration ; they must declare the rights
of man. the individual, sacred above all
craft. in priesthood or government! they
must, at one blow, put an end toijall tte
trickeries of English law, which, garner
ed up in the charnels of ages, binds, the
heart and will with lies. They must per
petuate republican truth, by malting the
homestead of every man a holy thing,
which no law can touch, no juggle nvreSt
from hisUvife and children. Untl thisljs
done, the Revolution will have beep fought
in vain. Ihomas Jefferson.
