Our Gold Region-In order 10 obtain cor.
rect information on the subject of the goa
MINES In Virginia, the editor of the Richmond
Inquirer addresseda letter to MIR. John lie ysis-
OF Spottsylvania, scientific gentleman, ana
received from him an interesting answer.
The latter gentleman states that gold, in mar.
hcles barely perceptibe to the eye, to such
as weigh thirty or forty penny weigh hts, is ex-
tensively d'fiused over strip of land passing
through Spot!sylvania and other counties; it
is found on the surface, and i'm a stratum of
quartz, being not unfrequently incorporated
with it. The richest strata rest upon slate,
and enter It's assures and crevices from such
places much gold is obtained. Although gold
OF this character is extensively diffused over
large surfaces, Mr.. Lewis asserts that but fe,1
places have been found where the produce

present methsi of working is as follows.
=" The eartf is dug up and carried to the
nearest stream, and thrown on a seive of wire.
or perforated ron Wheel placed in one end
OF semi-cybDdrical trough, like a canoe,
about eight OF ten feet long, fixed on piyots
at the ends, so as to rock like a cradle; a
jette of water fills on the earth in the seiye.
and passes through the whole length of the
washer, carryin, off all substances, light O.
nough to swim, or held i'm solution by the.
water; the heavier substances are left, the,
larger on the soiro, aud if any gold il is seen
and taken up when the seive becomes full
of pebbles, il is taken off to be examined and
emptied, The smaller heavy substances pass
through the scive with the water, to tho bot
tom ofthe canoe or washer, where it SUBSIDIES
and any gold is detained, and forms an ANAL
gam with quicksilver, deposited in the bottom
of the washer, and kept from going out at the
farther end. with the muddy water, by trans
verse lodges fastened in the bottom of the
washer. The gold thus found, is then either
pieces in their natice State, off the seive, or
liner or rather smaller PARTICLES, caught by
the mercury-and, therefore, i'm the form of
amalgam, which is easily separated by heat
evaporating and recondensing for use again
the mercury. About three fourths of the
Gold obtained, is in the amalgam.''
The expense of the fixtures, laborers, &c.
necessary to work one of the mines, is about
$500 per year; from the same mine gold has
been sold in one year sufficient to produce
S65O5. This, it should be remarked is sur
face mine; others are not so productive and
| cost more for labor. He states that foreign
and northern capitalists are beginning to turn
their attention towards the gold section,
and doubtless many valuable mines will fall
| into their hands.

county, IA. to a gentleman in Richmond.
The Superior Court for this county,
closed its session on Friday last, after being
close y engaged during the week, in the trial
of the counierfeiiers, Spencer and Martin.
They were found guilty, and each sentenced
to ten years imprisonment in the Penitentiary
understand, however, they have taken an
appeal TO the General Court, on some points
oflaw, relative to the place where the act was
committed the Judge having refused then,
a new trial
Lewellyn, the other counterfeiter, and
Blanckenship, charged with the murder of
Martin, still remain in Jail. Judge Allen has
appointed a special term for their trial, to
commence on the 25th Of next month";
THE drought has prevailed to an almost
unprecedented extent, in some parts of this
and the adjoining counties. Until few days
since, it was with the greatest difficulty the
people could get their corn ground-and
drinking water was becoming very scarce
and Indifferent in many places. Many quite
large water courses have seen entirely dry
and there is still no watcr running under
the Natural Bridge. James river is said to
be lower than it has been known to be for
many years."-R. Compiler

The distress in the northern suburbs of

Baldoyle, and Clontarf, the population have

Women and children have, within the last

to his place, to procure that triflng sustoDance
which he has so benevolently thus bestowed
upon them.
