Fromm M-mphis to Napoleon, on the Misswesippi river, the recon- noissance was rapid to Fort Smith, from which point moro careful examinalion+ were made. On the eastern portion of this line, timber of an excel- lent quality, suitable for the construction of the reac, exirts in great abundaxce :ufficient for the construction of the entire road The route traversed by Lieut. Whipple and party was as follows: Leaving Fort Smith, passed turough the Choe taw nation, ana following near the Canadiaa on the South wide to ite big bend, wh:ch wat cut off, passing through the bead waters of the Washita, in tweaty miles strock the Canadicn again. and followed up its valley about 150 mies, thence left the Canadian, ascondivg the high grounds, leading to the stazed plaia, or Uano estacado, at the crossing point of tne luno estaculo, proceeded to- wards Anton Chico, crossing a number of small streams which empty into the Canadian, and also upon reaching Anton Chi+o, two other streams, tributaries of the Peco, the divide between the waters of the Pecos and Canadian Deing almost imperceptable.

At or in the neighoorheod of, Old Placer I know of four different mines which bave all been worked wi'h more or ese advantage, and the working of them aban- dened, not because tne yield was insuflicient, but be cause of the unsettled state of the country for many ears past, and the want of sufficient capital invested by ie onderiahers. Lav ring under every possible disad- vantege imaginable to ccnceive, the enterprising adven. turers who bave ur dertaken the working of these diffe ent mines have managed t» sustain themselves and carry on the work, rolely from the proceeds of their labo-, for di Terent lengths of time, viz.: ons, two, and three years. In the first place, to sustain laborers at this old placer, i. requires either the cponing of farms, or else you hare to tranrport provisiors for your laborers » distance of from forty to eighty milss; next, you cannot get @ proper supply of water withou' the expenditure of more monsy or labor than has ever been devoted to that object yet next, the crushing of the ore and the process of amal gemation has been heretofore carried on in the rutest style imaginable, And considering the way in which they ave worked it, it is astonishing that they should have paid the value of the labor of tae bands engaged, and is & + 01g proof of how valuable they might be if properly work. d. 1 spent very nearly s week some four or five years ago in an exsmination of these mines. I ill partigulariy Gi acribe the resuls of my observations with regard to one, “The Davenport Mise.”’ The body cf oré contaised in thas mine is a horizovtal stratum of gold bearing rock, havirg @ dip of abont 42 degrees, cropping out on a Wide ravine, half a mile south of the principal gold pot of the old placer, and so far as it has been followed And its indications observed it is inexhaustible, Waere this ravine opens out in the champaign ccunt.y thera ‘Was formerly s very lsrge deposit of goli found in the earih and wash of the ravine; at least $300,600 worth of gid bas been obtsined by the Mexican population from this place by washing The ore of the mine ia rich. I have ro hesitation in asserting it t» be the richest mins that bas yet been discovered. I took ten pounds of se: lected pieces out of this mins, pounced it up ins mortar, bmittes it to the amalgamsting p:ocees, and obtaiaed cent gcle te make a handsome ring, ab: ut $5 worth, I next took soxe twenty or rty pounds of the average quality of the ore, as the ners threw it on the bank; from this ore, (passin through no hands but my own,)'l obtained a yield of gold Of at least 10 cents to the pound of rock J have been in the quartz miaing regions of California, aud though I have seen fer richer “specimens,” yet I have seen ro body of ore more easily worked, or likely to procuce richer results than this mine.

Dec, l.—Mr, Whiting addressed the court on be- half of rome owners, a part of whose property on Seventy- fifth street would be taken, and the portion left would be benefitted by the park He ixeisted that no discretion was verted in the court on this application, They must appoint commissioners under the law. That the law gave to the owners a suit against the corporation for the taken; and, apart from all this, they had an equitable Kien upon the land itelf for the purchare money. Many sflidavits and various papers were read to-day, by counsel on both sides, to show the origin of the act and the peculiar manner in which it was passed. r Pending Mr. Whiting’s argument, the court adjourned to Dec. 2 at 1234 o'clock, Deo. 2—Mr. Whiting continued his argument. ; He construed the first section as mandatory, not only | upon the corporation counsel but’on the court, and con- | cluded his argument with an able examination into the | powers of the court upon the construction of statutes, sisting that tae court could not look bsyond ths law i: self, and that all the affidavits and papers which had been | introduced were entirely irrelevant. Mr. Charles 0’Conor followed on the part of the corpora- tion of the city, and said—He did not intend to examine | into the misadventures which had attended the passage of this law, but asked the court to look into the gentral policy of acta ef this character, and if this should be found to cifler from all othera—to be without a brother— then that the act #hould have a rigorous constructio: and be examined narrowly. ‘That this act would be foun Upon its face to be a mass of incoherent, ill-digested ideas, thrown together, and the court should not be astute to help to give it effect. Opening a public place like this is evidently s local benefit, and is always done upon the re- quest of the people of the locality, speaking through their wuricipal corporation; and, slthough the Legislature had nowhere declared this land to be necessary for a pub lic park, yet it is to be taken, and by section four the corporation is to be invested with a tisle in trust for this purfose, against their will, A law of this character is, indeed, a most extraordinary piece of legislation. pes | the question whether the court is peremptorily bound to | act under this law, or is to hear and determine whether, | | Ship Princeton from .deposed:—I was examived in the City Intelligence.

Among the rest was that of Mr. Cassidy for the second and third districts, proposing tc clean those districts for $20,000 each por annum, it being the lowest bid offered; but the depart- ment, it seemed, on examination, were of opinion that Cassidy’s security was not gooc, and therefore awarded the contract :o the vext lowest bidders, Peter Shaw for the seocnd, and Barney Kelly for the third.

In the general sweep made by the democrats of Mis- sissippi at the late elections in that State, A. H. Handy, whcse ‘ private opinion is th&t the bonds are unconsti- tional,” was elected Judge of the High Coart of B ise over William Yerger, one of the three Judges of that court who decided some time ago that the bonds were constitutionally iasued and should be paid. Thus the unanimous opizion of the court of last resort has been repudtated by the voters of Judge Yerger’s district, and what is mere remarkable still, several of the whig coua- ties, heretofore supposed to be in favor of paying the bonds, have given majcritios in favor of Judge Yerger’s anti bond paying opponent. From this, it would appsar pat a majority ¢f the voters of Mississippi ace not only in favor of repudiating the bonds, bat of nullifying the Cecision of the highest legal tribunal. It is considered probable that Hon A. J. Brown, for six ears past amember of the House from Mississippi, will elected Senator from that State if Col. Davis decides to remain in the Cabinet. DANIEL 8.
