A competent Job Printer is to the scene, and made it a representation of what Pandemonium may be. Those lights were admirable but for their object The flash of the cannon is but for a mo ment, and the fuse of the shellers soon consumed as it hurried along, but these lights seemed like the cornets suspended in the sky, or burning cycles of evil ones peering down through the darkness in search of those they wished to destroy, and looking and searching tremulously and patiently till they found them out in the darkness, and then pouncing upon their victims. The unearthly roar of that big gun announced their doom. Thus fought the steamers and the forts from 24 o'clock till 8, the steamers receiv ing the contents of the 150 or 200 guns of the forts, and the forts what the 40 smaller guns of the thirteen steamers could send them. The guns of the forts were worked with admirable skill, and aimed with wonderful precision. Not a mast was cut down ; hardly a yard or any part of the rigging was touched; all were aim ed at the hulls of the vessels, which were boarded and riddled, and the men cut down like sheep in the slaughter-house. The Admiral's steamer, a gun boat like the rest, and carrying three heavy guns, was the special mark of the Chinese from his conspicuous flag which floated at the mast-head. Of the 41 men who worked her guns, all but three were either killed or wounded. At an early stage of the ac- ti in, the head of the captain was fairly cut off by a ball,—a brave and noble man; while as others tell me who saw it, the deck was fairly covered with the blood, limbs and the bodies of the dead and the wounded, which were heaped up around the guns, so that they could hardly be approached without treading upon them. It was the scene of a slaughter-house, on ly it was a human slaughter-house. A single ball killed two men, and then car- j ried away a leg from six more who hap- the water, and reaching a boat were safe. Cobb—Gartrell, D., Lester, D., Green, j ble results in getting what gold was left from the rude and imperfect working of former years. There are three principal gold veins run ning through this property, all of which have been tested and gave the most grati fying results. I have been over the gold-bearing re gion of Georgia as well as of other States, and have studied their geology, and 1 I have no hesitation in saying, that I have seen nothing to equal the indications of the Mahone A King Mines. I entered the opening made on one of the veins, with a workman, and took out more than fifty dollars of gold with less than thirty min ute’s labor. There are three hundred and twenty acres of land in this property, and the length of the three veins cannot be less than two miles, and the amount of depos it gold is in large quantity. I have given the above from memory, at the request of parties interested, and it is not above, what a strict examination will bear out. The specimons that it lias yielded in nug gets of gold taken from the quartz rock weighing as high as eighteen or nineteen (lwts., are seldom equalled by the most productive regions of the globe, and that too, under circumstances the least favora ble to its proper development. Those de sirous of engaging in mining operations lor gold, need not goto California, or New South Wales, but in the State of Georgia may find as safe investment of capital as the world affords; nature has planted it there, it cannot deceive.” Hews from Texas. Late accounts from Texas state tln.t the Indians arc committing great depredations on the Rio Grande and frontier, in Texas, since the withdrawal of the United States troops. * New Orleans, Oct, Id. Brownsville, Texas, was attacked, on the 28tli uit., by Guerrillas, and five per sons killed. The jail was broken open, and the prisoners set at liberty. Intense excitement prevailed. The citizens had mostly fled to Matamoras. The Mexican authorities sent assistance to the people of Brownsville. The Guerrillas were head ed by an outlaw named Cortcmas, and numbered 100 strong; they were mount ed and rode into the city, and posted sen tinels. Gen. Carvnial and others arrived and pursuaded the outlaws to leave the city. Fort Brown was then garrisoned with Mexican troops from Matamoras, the citi zens forming a patrol.
