EiTiiAOBiiiNAitr   Huron rs    Imiom    L.uutiiso.—A
correspondent of  the   Colonist,   named   Jeffreys,
writes -_   follow-to that   paper
Curriboo mines :    ^^H	
We have spent the entire summer traveling
lliroti_;h tlie different portions of the mining dis
tricti, and must claim for ourselves, some kuoW'
ledge ofthe mines. Yet it in impossible'for nn or
any other peiSOOl to give any idea bs lo tho ex
lent of the mines of Briti-h ColumbU, but suffice it
lo wy there had enough already been di.cm
thoroughly prospected, to warrant good pay to fifty
thousand   miners,  Bay   from $10 to $f>00 per day
Now Mr. Editor, I nay this without exaggeration,
and I do firmly believe that 186S will find British
Columbia with a mining population of one hundred
thousand. Now the question may bo asked why is
it that more money has   not beoa made,  as  there
have been between 1000 ami 2000 man engaged in
that country this season ; but we would answer
audi   an interrogatory by  saying,  that   there baa
been more gold taken out ol ihe mines of British
Columbia this year than was ever taken front the
milieu of California in the same length of time and
by tho tame amount of labor. The most of last
season has been .pent by miners in prospecting tne
country, and wc made it our business to gain information from every party that was on a prospecting tour, and I cau say lhat 1 never saw a mining
country which gave such general satisfaction as the
mince of Iliilish Columbia.    Yet there is oue ofthe
Brown family, (not Brown who made $10,000 and
then sold his claim for  $15,000 for he   is not  tl
Brown that was visiting from the other side of the
Cariboo,) wbo was making when we saw him from
100 to 200 ounces per day, nnd no humbug,
Knittiku at LlOTOBBB.—Tbe patriotic ladles at
the Last are engaged almost constantly in sewing
and knitting for volunteers. Wheu they attend
public lectures on week days they take their knitting with tbem. The Philadelphia Inquirer noi-
Iccd a large number of ladies thus engaged during a recent lecture in that city, it ib also saio
that Guv. Morgan's lady baa introduced the custom at Albany, N. Y".; but she can afford to do it
—her husband's patriotism brings $7,000 a year.
Another Sacuamknto JIo.mu:u>k.—.A German
named Jacob Meryetishnlen, was killed by special
deputy sheriff Keyser, who was attempting to arrest him for an assault and hattery on hi- wife.—
Meryetishalen assailed the ofli.er with an axe. II
was shot iu the throat aud died in au hour aud
half afterwards.

Lett out in tax Coi.n.—The Folsom Telegraph
saye: " At the time of the flood, Lous McLuue, of
tbe stage line, and Wells, Fargo-feCo.'s express,
together wilh several other rich ones, was left by
tbe carsou 'a narrow neck of land' where tbey
bad stopped to view some of the destruction caused by the water-. They remained there nearly all
night, and, failing to hire a man with a handcar
(or two hundred dollars lo take them to Folsom,
tbey finally hired a wagoner for one hundred dollar.. They reached Folsom in a very ' mad'
state and have Bued, or will sue, the railroad company for damages."'
Tub LOSS Ot Stock.—The destruction of larm
animals by thc freshet of Monday in all of the
lower aud larger valleys was unprecedented iu thc
history of the United States. The farming people
knew that vast quantifies of rain was falling, and
that the water courses would be very full, but did
not anticipate a deluge which would destroy their
stock, their fences, and perhaps set llic'tr houses
afloat and put their own lives iu tin; utmost jeoivir-
dy. It Is represented that in tho Sacramento valley, cattle, horses, hogs aud poultry were floating
about in every direction, some were dead and
others going to death. Besides, hou.es were carried away in the awful currents and upon the upper portions of buildings people were seen, to
whom uo assistance could be rendered.—-JW. Tel.

The New York Times has an article on Business Matters and Brains, in which the following
passage occurs, which is quite as applicable to
political as to business matters :
" Tlie world is full of wibLprojectors, moncyl
and void of discretion, who would swamp a nation if they could only Induce Capital lite to
bark in th. realization of their projects, There
are also capitalists so timid and Incapable that,
the noblest ideas are still :d and starved through
their lack of perception and faith. Such capitalists do not enrich, a country any more than such
projectors promote its industrial and social development. Hut bftppy is tbe nation, the age, which
rejoices tn a perfect, understanding and accord between its Money and ils Drains."

"There being reason to believe that disloyal

Like spentral hounds across the sky
The white clouds 600(3 before the storm,
And naked in the howling ni.-ht,
The rert-ry.d lighthouse lifts its form.
The wave, with slipper; flogereclulch
The massive •ewer, and climb ami fall,
And muttering, grow] with baffled ruge
Their curst., 00 the ..Uird_y wall,  -
Up in the lonely tower lie BJtF,
The keeper of the crimson light—
Silent und Bwe-Btruok does he hoar
The imprecations of (lie night.
Tlie white spray beats against the panes
Like BOEae wet ghost, that down thc air
Xa booted by a I roop ol Q9ttdP,
And seeks a shelter anywhere.
lie Jirfiys aloud—the lonrly man—
For every soul that night at pea,
Hut more than all. for that brave boy
Who used to gully climb his knee.
Young Charley, with the chcsntit hair
And hazel eyes and lan.hing lip,
"M;iv Heaven look down,'' the old man cries,
" Upon my son and on big ship I"
While thus with pious heart he prays,
Far in tlie distance sounds the boom—
lie pauses, and aiF&ta there rings
The sullen thunder through the room.
A ship upon the shoal tq-nightf
She cannot hold lor one half hour—
But clear rcpes and grappling hooks,
And trust in the Almighty power.
On the drenched gallery be stands,
Striving to pierce the solid night,
Across the sea the red-eye throws
A steiidy, crimson wake of light.
And where it falls upon the waves
He sees a human head float by,
With long, drenched curls of chesnut hair,
An'.l wild but fearless hazel eye.
Out with the hooks! One mighty fling !
AdoWD the wind the long rope curls,
Oh ! will it catch ?    Ah ! dread] suspense,
While lie wild ocean wilder whirls.
A steady pull ! It tautens now!
Oh, his old heart will burst with joy,
As on the slippery rooks he pulls
The breathing body of his boy.
Still sweep the spectres through the sky,
Still scud the clouds before ihe storm,
SHU naked in the howling night
The red-eyed lighthouse lilts ils form.
Without, the world is wild with rage.
Unkenneled demons are abroad ;
Bul with the father and the son
Within there is the peace of God.
