S'ine geological excursions, chiefly in

but iu-p'Tfeeily known, it biui; u
ate in the n uth-east part of the Gold
region. Tins section is more broken
and mountainous than other sections
of the gold country; the gold 1 have

33 carats fine.
Jt has been incorrectly supposed
by me, that gold was formed in the

ertainly appear erroneous, when ilfis

Meription of military offences appears
to be introducing itself into the law
martial, 6y the extension of the , du
ties of othcere of the arrriy to the sub
ject of Internal improvement. It
would be thought an odd associa ion
to cite an Overseer of a C unity Uoad
before a Militia Court Marhal to an
swer for neglect of duty. The case
are not parallel, it is rue, but in prin
ciple they do not widely diiler. We
do not mean to question tbe correct
ness of the course pursued by the War
Department in this case. An iuvea
tigatiorihas been required, we sup
pose, by tbe loud complaints from the
Western country of the manner n
which the law has been executed & ihe
mode pursued is the regular mode of
proceeding agaiast officers of tbe ar
my for neglect of duty. In such a
case, however, we should think it ve
ry difficult to discriminate between
neglect of duty and error of judgment.
Officers have a delicate duty to per
form in determining such points, not
knowing how soon the case may come
to be their own, from not knowing
what similar employment they' may
be put upon. These suggestions,
brief as they are, would be withheld.
