Ilolgo, with Compaules Q and I, of tho 8econd Cavalry, moved from Camp 1arney to Camp Crook, on Spring Creck,—leaving now at Camp Harnoy Compnnies A, H, I, aud I, of the Third Cavalry, under the command of Capt. Tiawley. Itis axpected that a pormanont camp will be solected on 8pring or Rapid Croek, to bo ocoupled whilo tho wagon-train thatis to start on tho 18t of Augnst i awny. Tho troops now at Camp Tlarnoy will move to the now camp before tho 18t of August, 80 aa to nliow as much trons- portation as posaible to return to Fort Laramio for supplios. "Thore now scoms to be no queetion about the EXIATENCE OF GOLD IN TAYING QUANTITIES in tho Dinck Hills, for Mr. Jennoy uncompromis~ inyly says that the country is gold-beariug, and thint tho gniches on Riapid Spring, Cnatle, and Box-LClder Croekawill pay to wivo. Tho coun- try 18 not yot proven to be aa rich as California, but compares favorably with Coforado and Mop- tena. Mr. Jennoy also eavs thal thero nro at lenst 1,000 squaco miles of rich gold-deposits in theso hills, and that they oxtend into the red- eaudstono formation on the cast, having Leen washed thera by a roceding oceau. The gold pannod out of the differont gulches is in variablo quantities, and, oven if taken out of tho same holo, 18 never constant, for the firpt panful mey produco goveral colors, varying in 120 from tho smallent poemblo particlo to pleces the size of o large pib-head. This panful may ba wurth 10 ¢onts ; tho uext may have only two or Miree colors, of good size, that mny bo worth firm 25 cents to 21 or moro ; tho uext may not he worth more than 8 cents ; and go on,—mak- ing It diflenlt to place and cstimate upon the amonat taken out of a panful of dirt, unlces ap- proximated by guees-work, Tho fargest nnggot taken out on the bauk of Hpring Crock is worth £1.30. Mr. Jonney's party, nided by the soldiers of Companios C and I, of tho Ninth Infantry, have dug o ditch 000 feot in longth, carrying 800 miners’ inchos of water, that {8 put through a #lnico G5 feot long, and which is capablo of wash- ing all the dirt that twenty or thirty mon can shovel into it.

When a ship- por sont but five car-loads, it was dolayed until su otder to doliver It was received, when, if n boat was conveniont, it was loadod ; aud, by the use of bulklieads, three or four lots of grain of precisely tho same market grade were carried about tho harbor in tho sgm¢ bont to various purchasors, at groat and nocdless oxpenso. At ono time the railrond companies refused to do- Liver lces than five car-loads, aud email lots were bLandled at very great oxpouso, the lighterage having at timos cost tromn 2 to 4 conte per bush- cl. Buppers of o siugle car-load wore obliged 10 pay U cents n bushel. : ‘dho disadvantages ot thn New York svatem have, it s uaid, seriously injured ite business.
