Thb diamond excitement at Owyhee is raging violently. It is reported that several have been found. By careful computation, the Washington ' Star 1ms found that for every column of news it has from Philadelphia it has to publish at least two columns ol contradictions. Mas.

Tub story thnt thumb-screws were applied to Dr. Mudd at the Dry Tortugns, to eitort a confession of his accomplices in his at. tempt to escape is fully contradicted. Blondin, the funambulist, is said to be a deserter from the-French army. If he should return to his native land It is thought he might give the publio a tight-rope perform ance somewhat different from the one at Ni agara Falls.

I On the 8th of November, a convention of those holding mining interests in Colorado was held at Central City, and action of very great importance taken in regard to their re lations to the General Government. The fol lowing preamble and resolutions indicate the spirit of the convention : Whereas, Various propositions have re cently been presented to Congress, foreshad owing a change in the policy of the Govern ment, in regard to our mines, looking to the realization of immediate revenue rather than their rapid discovery and permanent and successful development, and Wiikiieas, There is great danger that such legislation may tend to cripple rather than to encourage our mining interests. There fore, Hcsolved, By this meeting of miners and other citizens of Colorado Territory, 1. That we respectfuily protest against the application of any system of Tenantry to the operation of our mines. 2.

An in vestigation would probably show that both are in.the wrong, and neither was conscious prices for their productions, but the miner alone has his to pay without any possibility of recovery by increase of the value of his products. It is also very justly and truth- HOLIDAY GIFTS of the exact causes which led to the differ- fully represented that a tax on bullion, with out any consideration as to whether it was profitably extracted, would tend to stop those mining enterprues which are barely making their way ; and thus, many projects of vast prospective importance would be stopped before they could reach the degree of devel upmeDt requisite to render them profitable to the operators. In regard to the sale of the mines by ar bitrary divisions, the memorial shows its im practicability, by reason of the nature of quartz mines. Thus : a lode which is now being worked with a great dip, in any par ticular direction, is likely to pitch on to the land of another who had no merit in the dis covery of the mine, but who bought binds on speculation,. and waited for better men to develop them. . Where there are no discov eries the sale of lands would produce little or no revenue, simply because nobody wants ence. . Tub negroes in Texas are anxious to have spelling-books distributed among them. To do the colored people justice, they should not only be permitted to learn, but encour aged in doing so. It is a scandal to Ameri can civilization that so many whites and four millions of blacks are allowed to remain ignorant of letters. Patriotic. Gen. Beauregard says that be would rather live in .poverty and obscurity in the United States, than affluence and high -official position in any other country. This is simply a paraphrase of a remark made by a rebel, two years ago, to this effect : " I would rather be a bob-tailed, yaller dog in Dixie's land than a Mnjor-General in Abe Lincoln's array."
