Silver ont Lake Superior. A new and impor tant discovery' has just been made in the mineral regions of Lake Superior. Hon. Truman &rr. the distinguished Connecticut Senator, who has spent most of the past summer at the copper mines, has riade the discovery, by the agency of an ac complished metallurgist, recently from Europe, which ne communicates to tne J. noune under date of the 19th inst. On his return from the Lakes, Mr. Smith brought a considerable number of cop per specimens, to the inspection of which he invit ed the gentleman referred to, when he immediate! v pronounced tlie vein stone or matrix adhering, a, rich ore of silver. : It has been known from the beginning, that there was more or less of native silver to be found in the mines. It was at onetime believed that the quantity would be sufficient to bear separation, andwould add considerable to the value of the mines ; but this has turned out falla- . " .i 1 . cious. i5ut lt has not oeen Known, or ever suspect ed until lately, that there is in the matrix of some of the mines, if not all, an ore of silver. The speci mens were immediately subjected to the test of a chemical experiment, and the verification of the fact-iSblisbed, by exhibition of the silver ex tracted. Daring Robbery. On Monday afternoon last , about 5 o'clock, Mr. Henry Davis, of this city, at the request of the Cashier of the Exchange Bank, took in charge a brown leather valise, very much worn, containing about $14,500 in notes, for the purpose of conveying it to a Bank in Richmond. Upon arriving at. the depot, and alighting from his carriage, he stopped at the steps of the carriage for the purpose of assisting some ladies. Just at thi. time, a colored boy stepped up, apparently about 18y ars of age, and remarked in a familiar way, " Master Henry, let me hold the valise, 'white you .assist the ladies." Mr. D. not suspecting, handed the boy the valise, and assisted the ladies from tlie carriage. He immediately turned around'to re ceive the valise, but the thief had darted out of his sight. Up to the time of going to press last bight, no tidings of the lost money had been heard. I Tiie notes were from the Branch of the Exchange iBank at Clarksville, :n this State. It v as y.i after twilight when the robbery was committed, and Mr. D. therefore, has no. idea who the boy w as to whom he handed the valise. Pet. Ex. , The Tribune of Monday, says : The price o. brandy per glass went up from six to ten cents on Saturday. We hear that some houses had a ready advanced from the former figure to a shilling.

Threatened Conflict Between the Creek iNDrANS; AND THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL, Ab v KAjsAs.-j It seems that under the laws of Congress it becomes the duty of the Marshal of the Western District bf Arkansas to arrest persons who have in troducedj spirituous liquors into the Indian country. This officer having recently so arrested Indians who had been punished under the Indianjaw for the of fence in the same cases, the Indian authorities are very indignant, and there is fear of armed collision to grow lout of the affair, the Secretary of the Interior is said to havo directed the Marshal to J make no more arrests of Indians for this offence who may havie been held amenable under the Indian law, untjl he (the Se 'retary) shall have Teceived full information to tnal-le him to give him further instructions on the subject. No Law for the Case. We lately mention ed a case in which a young man was found nearly starved do death in a damp cellar in Boston, where he had been kept by his father while sick, without suitable food, and without any person being per muted ti see him. He subsequently died, nd the inhuman; parent was arrested, and last week put'on trial on !a charge of manslaughter, but, although the allegations against him were proved, "he was discharged, the Court deciding that the indictment was null;' on the ground that the father was not legally bound to support his son, he being over twenty-one years of age. A S. Carolina paper states that a Mr. Humphrey Powell, aged 75 years, residing west of the great Pee Dee in that State, has a new set of front teeth both in the upper and lower jaws, in every place w here the old ones have rotted out or been extract ed. Thirty-tw o years ago he states he lost some of his teeth; and others at intervals since that time. The number of new teeth which he has cut is seven, being the number of front teeth w hich he has lost. Two of these, however, are small as yet, having made their appearance only a few weeks ago.
