From the Pacific News, of April 19.
Mining on Flats. l has generally
been supposed, and is still the prevalent
opinion, thai deposites of gold are to be
found only in the beds and banks of Riv
ers, together with smaller streams and
mountain gulches. Undoubtedly the rich
est depositcs have, and will continue to
be found in such localities. But accident
.and perseverance, during the past winter
have shown that they are not the only
placers. .In the neighborhood of Wood's
diggings; a large flat, j how situated in re
ference to the mountain arounij we are
not informed, has been working success
fully, men making good wages, and dig
ging only a lew inches below the siirface.
On tho Toulumnej river at the point
known as Don IVdrojs, a similar discove
ry has been made, arjd theround is be
. ing worked successfully now. The flat is
now above high wkter mark, running
back to a mountain from which large a
mounts of gold have been washed into
. gulches heading at its base. Ihese gul
ches were worked la&t season. : In all
probability the depositcs found upon such
: flats have been washed from tho nearest
mountains by the flooding rains to which
r they are subjecr, and gradually amoved
J down, step by step, until ther precious
metal has extended itself over the whole
.; surface.
i These and similar discoveries, which
, are constantly occurring, convince us that
- the California banks are in no danger of
Jailing, although hundreds have been and
will continue to be, entered forcibly, if
not burglariously.

We copy the following items from the
Stockton times :
Sonora. Most Important Discoveries.
Our friend, G. C. Belt, Esq., merchant of
Stockton, has just arrived from Sonora,
and describes the excitement amongst the
Inhabitants of that town to be intense, in
consequence of' the late rich discoveries
in this district. There is no doiibt that
the new placer is of unprecedented rich
ness, and there are supposed jo -be from
three to five thousand persons at work
upon it, who, in numerous instances, are
getting from two to twenty ounces perday.
natural importation, which the Mants of
the community do not require. j
Flour, the most important article in our
market, notwithstanding, a! heavy stock on
hand, maintains firmness, and in; the ab
sence of importations, will soon advance
in price.fi . x' i !
The stocks of lumber which Have ac
cumulated in our market, ihave rendered
the value of the article almost nominal.
It will take a considerably time to dispose
of the quantity on hands, without taking
into account the imports that may be ex
pected. . I i
Real estate had fallen to Ht least
one-third of its former vifdue, aad there
are very .few operations, even at that.
Rents have gone down inf an equal ratio,
and will have to go still lower, to bring
them on a par with rents and the value
of labor in other places and in this, which
is the standard they must ultimately come
to. -
The aecoujhtsrom the mining regions,
are very satisfactory, and it is-believed,
that of those employed in these operations
the majority are realizing fair remuner
ation for their Iaborx
h is much to be regretted that ja branch
mint had not been established among us
at the commencement of our condition as
a territory ; it would have- been a saving,

SENSIBLE VIEWS.
Mr. Clay and the Presidency. In a ! great
speech delivered in the Senate a few days since
Mr. Clay expressed himself in terms that indi
cate rather an unkind feeling towards ihe Pre.
sident. YVe very much regret this, as we not
only folly approve Mr. Clay's course, hut also
that of the President, considering it prudent
and consistent. We consider the Compromise
most acceptable tothe country, for the reason
that it disposes of all matters at issues. If the
President had urged his plin in opposition to
the Compromise, such a course would have
been censurable ; but we have yet to learn that
he ever did any such thing. He possesses far
too much discernment even to entertain for a
moment such an idea. Mr. Clay errs in this
that he seems to have expected the President
to abandon his owa recomendation, and come
out cfor the Compromise in advance of the
action of Congress. Such was not the duty of
the President, nor would decent self-respect
permit htm so to do. His duty was simplv to
ratify whatever prudent action Congress might
take. Nor was it improper in him to contradict
the false report that he had changed bis views,
and preferred the Compromise.
Mr. Llay further errs in seeming to claim
the whole honor of the Compromise. It is true
that his resolutions took the lead, but it must
be remembered that they met the approbaHon
of but few. Webster's Sneech did the work.

linian, lhat the sum of 831,000 had been
subscribed in Cumberland county for the
new project for a plank road from Fay.
etteville to Raleigh. It is believed that j
this sum will be augmented in lhat coun- J
ty to 810,000 ; and steps have been taken f
to get subscriptions in Wilmington; and j
also, in Wake, Johnson, Orange, Chatham,
and Franklin counties. It is supposed i
tbat the work will cost 75 or 880,000.
There is also a project, of a plank road
from Favctteville to Centre, in Stanly
county, much talked of at present. This
will tap one of the most wealthy sections
of the State. The Peo Dee valley is
equalled by few sections as it respects ag
ricultural wealth.
If this last project is prosecuted we pre
dict it will find favor in this county. That
is the route our people wanted the Fay-
etteville and Western plank road to take.
There are a large number of citizens here
who would have taken sbock in that road
could they have had any assurance that
that route would be selected. There are
many others who would- have gone into it
for the sake of a plank road to GoId HilL
Now, if Fayctteville, Anson, Richmond
and Stanly shall set about this work in
earnest, there will be presented a strong
inducement for the friends of a road by
that route, to come to the rescue, and hare
it continued on to this place. Of one fact
there can be no doubt, and that is, the road
will pay well between this place and Cen
tre, and especially between this place and
Gold Hill. Cheraw would consult her in
terest by subscribing for a road to connect
at Centre, or some other convenient point.
