Professional nivaby. Profes
sor Olmstead, of Yale College, is
exhibiting at Huston a stove,
which, if report speaks without
extenuation of its merits, 'takes
the shine off' Dr. Nott's entirely.
Besides other advantages, it is
said that the Yale professor's in
vention emits no fumes, and that
ashes cannot escape from it; also,
that the construction is so simple
that a child can regulate it; the
unsightly appearance of pipe is
avoided, and the whole can be
afforded for S510.
Atrocious Murder. The

has been found in a pond most
shockingly mutilated the bowels
ripped out, the head scalped, the
jaws broken in, a musket ball
through the chest, and the hands
tied behind. The nmrder took
place Sept. 11th, by a parly of
Sen;inole s, and the body was acci
dentally found by discovering: a
flock of turkey buzzards hovering
over it. The nude on which the
carrier rode, was also found cut to
pieces. Detachments of the U.

Prom the Sovtlnvt stern Fron
tier. The last Arkansas Gazette
contains an extract of a letter from
Foil Gibson, of the 25th August,
communicating the following in
formation: "General Arbuckle is absent.on
the prairies, with four companies
of infantry, under the command;
ofMaj. Birch antl the dragoons,
under Maj. Mason, trying to make
airea'v with the Camanchee and
Pawnee Indians. We have not
heard from him, officially, since
his arrival, at the treaty ground.
The health of the. troops, I under
stand, is better -than usual at this
season of the year, and I hope il
will continue."
The Gazette adds: !Our cor
respondent also mentions a report
brought in by an Indian runner
from the treaty ground, that, when
he passed the command, about ten
das previous, on its way out,
Gov. Stokes, one of the commis
sioners appointed to effect a treaty
with the Indians, was supposed to
be clvintr. He thinks there is too
much room lo fear it is so, from
the fact that Gov. S. was in a very
low state of health when he start
ed out with the command on the
7lh."
We are happy to be able to
give later and more favorable in
formation, than that contained in
the Gazelle paragraph. We re
ceived a letter from Fort Gibson
yesterday under date of 2d Sepl.
which says, "Messrs. Pennewit
and Thompson have just come in
from the Prairie, and 1 report that
the troops ieft the Treaty ground
on the 24lh August, and will be
here in a few days. Gov. Stokes,
the commissioner, has much im
proved in health. All well."

Svlurder. We learn from the
Flemingsburg, (Ken ) Whig, that
Alfred limit was shot by Nathan
Hodge, on the 20th tilt, in that
town. The ball entered the back
part of the left shoulder, and" it is
supposed took a direction to the
head. Hiibt expired in a minute
or two .afterward. No reason is
given fo.r this ou'.rage. Hodge
was arreted the next d.v and is
now in jail.
Texas. A letter from Te.as,
dated Sept. Gib, according to the
Philadelphia G i.ette, uives infor
mation that a Convention was to
be held in that province Oct. loth,
'composed of five members from
eacu jurisdiction, lo consult on the
pubiie safely, and a bint is thrown
out that there will be drawn up a
"Declaration of Independence."
This would not at all surprise us,
antl things -must naturally take
this course. The writer of the
lelter slates, that Texas, from its
numerous Indian tribes, would
never have been settled by the
Mexicans; but the Americans
more brave ami hardy, have plan
ted flourishing towns there. So
he might have said did their fore
fathers in the United States. The
same blood the same love of lib
erty lives in their veins, and they
must and will be free in spite of
Santa Anna, whose minions il ap
pears are endeavouring to excite
against the American settlers, the
discontented North American !n
dians, chiefly Cherokees, Shavv-
nees, Kickapoos, Delawiares, Cos
Irito'es, and Alabamas, who have
taken up their quarters there
But the Texoniar-s do not fear
them nor the Spaniards combined
From Bed River, and from Mis

consequences perhaps Santa An

C'An atrocious outrage took
place a few evenings since in
Madison near Vine street, Phila
delphia. A young female of IS,
silling with li?r mother in the
apartment of her employer, was
approached by two young villains
and struck on the head so violent
ly, as lo cause inflammation of the
brain and delirium, fortunately
not proving fatal.
Gold .Mines. We have often
said, that we would sooner discov
er a bed of iron or copper ore, or
i good coal mine, than a trold
mine; but if nature has planted
ihem in our soil, it may be well
to notice them as they are discov-
red. North Carolina, we all
know, is rich in gold mines, and a
branch ol the mint has been erect
ed for convenience in that State.
We are not so well informed as to
the Virginia mines, but a w riter in
the luchmorjd big, has given us
an insight of the wealth of the Old
Dominion. It is only G jearsj
since the discovery was first madej
of gold miues-iii Virginia, though
small masses of this metal bad!
previotislj- been discovered on the
surface i.i various places. Put
such was the ignorance of geolo-
irv and mineralogy, that no one
suspected that but a few inches be-j
low the plough share were embed
ded rich deposites of gold, and!
that the rocks scattered here and ;
there were studded with grains of:
the same metal. In 1829, ex-!
plorations commencedsome fev
profitable deposites were found, j
but mucb labor was uselessly ex-;
pended from ignorance of mining.
The prospect of wealth brought!
adventurers from abroad,- who
professed experience in South A-j
merica and Mexico mining, but
being unacquainted with our gei
logy, their efforts were abortive
and general discouragement was
the consequence. Regular min
ing, however, was soon comment--1
ed hy a Fredericksburg company j
on Grasty's plantation in Orange
county. Nothing was found. A
New York company commenced
what was called the ''Orange
Miue,"in theinimediale neighbor
hood; and were also unsuccessful,
though the slock bad been sold at
several hundred percent, in ad
vance before the ore had been tes
ted. Several mines were pur
chased by ibis compau v at GO or
70,000"each. After "expending
over $ 1 15,000, the company sus
pended their operations add dis
charged 70 or SO of their haads.
Speculators only made aj
profit a general dismay and re-!
action took place. Bui in a short
time several mines of real value
were discovered, and two or three
are now in successful operation.
The Rappahannock mine in j
Stafford, three fourths of which!
brought $75,000 is one of theni
also the United States mine in
Orange, valued over $150,000.
Booker's mine in Buckingham is
another. Several mines in Fau
quier are put in operation by a
London company, and already 90
correct miners have been senfout.
A mine of great value has recent
ly been found in Louisa, called
Walton's, supposed to be richer
than any in ihe United Stales, or
perhaps in the world. An agent
is in London to dispose of the.
IMut,u. ii iniiil u iev minim?, sev
eral mines have been discovered
in F'uvana, Goochland, Src. Op
erations are on a small scale.
Hughes', ihe best which is in Flu
vana, iloes not yet require wink
ing on regular mining principles,
yet the profits with a. few hands
are enormous, and must bring im
mense fortunes to the proprietors.
The declination of the vein in this
mine is 45 degrees, and is carried
to the water level about 60 feet,
and ihe one between that and the
sul fat e raised on an inclined plane.
So abundant is ihe ore near the
sulfat e, that for years pumps and
horse whims will not be icquiied.
The gold is scattered through ihe
soft slate and gravel, and all that
is required is washing. Most of
the surface mints have been work
ed mt, and veins w ill hereafter be
sought for. The average product
of Walton's mine is G for every
bushel of ore Hughes &: Busby's
rising $3. Hughes' ield 300
to $1000 per week. The Whig
recommends very properly Amer
icans to invest in the Virginia
mines, otherw ise ihey will fall into
the hands of foreign capitalists.

Another Grand Rail Road
Project. We learn from the New
Orleans Bee, that it is in contem
plation in that city to connect New
Orleans with the Gulf of California
on the Pacific by a rail road to
run through Texas via Natchito
ches and Nacogtlocl.es and the
gorge of the Rocky Mountains.
It is computed, that by extending
the contemplated rail road from
New Orleans to Natchez and
thence to Richmond, ihere would
be a continuous rail road of 1G0O
miles from New Orleans to New
York, which would be travelled
in four day! Should the rail road
to California be effected, steam
ships would communicate from
the latter to China, Persia or the
Last Indies and thus not only cut
up the Easi India Shipping of the
Northern States but render the
projected route across ihe isthmus
ol Panama,, unnecessary. Such a
short and direct route to the Pa
cific, would also neutralize the
efforts of the British Government
to open a route through the Med
iterranean, the Euphrates river,
the Red Sea and the Persian
Gulf. ib.
7 A young fellow at Cannons
burgh, Pa. says the Pittsburg
Visiter, was recently conducted
to the mill-pond in that vVinity,
by his neighbors, and there made
lo perform sundry involuntary
ablutions. He had attempted to
beat his own sister, a very respec
table and amiable vun;i worn -in.
No one will object to the applica
tion of this statute from the new
penal code; and as for the brute
himself he may think himself hap
py in escaping with a wet skin
instead of a ivtt cd one.
