From the above it will be seen that the
profitable annual supply ofprecious metal:
at the present time, from all the mines in
the world, is about thirty-eight millions oil
dollars, of which the proportion of gold is
less than twenty millions; and of this gold
about ne.fourth has been obtained from
the mines have been so recently discovered
and opened-most Of them within ten
years.
The gold region in the United States is
more extensive than is generally suppo-
sed, commencing in Virginia and extern
ding through part of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, In.
to Tennessee. The principal amount of
gold has been taken from the mines of
North Carolina, which have been the lon
gest known and worked. The gold mines
OF Virginia have recently attracted much
attention, and the Legislature of that State
have been liberal in granting charters to
companies for the purpose of exploring,
opening and working the mines. The
principal counties in Virginia in which
gold mines have been explored to any ex-
tent as Stafford, Culpepper, Fauqueir,
SPottsylvania, Orange, Louisa, and Buck
ngham. Brokers mine, in Buckingham,
the Culpepper and Mibank mines, in Cul-
pepper, and the Walton mines in louisa
county, have been found very rich gold
ore.
That these mines may DO proftably
wrought admits Of no doubt, the cost of
working them being found not to exceed
thlrty-hve cents to the bushel, or one hun
dred pounds of ore, even in the present i'm
perfect state Of the mining business; and
the average product Of the Walton mine is
stated at SIS 80 to the 100 pounds, or bush.
ell OF ore. Professor Rogers, of the Uni.
verslty of Virginia, obtained between {
Twelve and thirteen dollars for a 100
pounds OF ore of this mine, and on four
trials by another distinguished mineralo-
gIist' an average Of SAL AZ for 100 pounds
oil ore was obtained. q
These facts are mentioned as examples
OF what may be done in our Southern gold
mines, and we are happy to understand 1
sid' arrangements are in progress by u
southern gentlemen and others interested a
n the gold mines, to effect the object or G
developing these sources OF supply of the U
precious metals, We are sure that tho n

With those of other counries, is but little D.

RoBBERY.-Mr. VIM. WoodIan, of Mad.
lson CO., Miss, called at our office yester.
day morning, and made the following
statement. Some time after dark on the
evening previous, and when about three
miles distant on his way into town, an in.
dlvidual jumped from behind a tree and
aimed blow at his head with a LARGE
club, exclalming at the same time, "Give
up, Cd d---m you" The villain
missed his aim, the horse took fright and
wheeled round, Mr.. w. dropping his UNI.
brella and saddle bags. These he saw the
robber pick up and make off, when he
again turned his horse and rode towards
town, experimenting as much danger in 90.
ing back as in advancing. He describes
the villain as near six feet high, large and
stout, and says that several wagons have
been robbed recently not far from the
same place upon this road. He was about
nalfa mile beyond DR.. Bays place, three
niles distant from Vicksburg, on The Incl.
ION road This is the first and onlv case

TAmpIco, June 81, 1888.
Sir,-Our intelligence from Vera Graz is TO tho nth
inst At which time the French frgae Hermone. from
Bnzoche, ana brigs were at Sacrikcios Baron De-
fauds the French Minister left on tie 10Th in brig
Of for France. Preparations were made to attack
the place the 9Th, at which time the squadron
sisted Of frigates and briggs, farce we would
think scarcely adequate for such purpose Consul
tation, however held on that day, and the en-
terprise abandoned. Great excitement was produced
in the city by the rumor, much that Gov Lincoln
advised the French residents to leave as he might not
be able 10 protect them in the event OF an attack.
This procedure the part Of the Minister and Com.
modore undoubtedly rnse de gnerre. designed
merely what might be elected from the
Mexcans previous to the departure Of the Minister.
The French Consul had incurred the displeasure
of the authorities induce them to tender To him
his passport, and he is now on board the frigatc.
Other ports have been opened, but they also havo
been placed under the surveillance of the blockadng
squadron.
Little or no business is doing at Vera Cruz; foreign
merchandise very scarce and in great demand The
blockade is very RICHLY enforced, though II seems with
all possible fairness and honesty.
Some new regulations have been made in relation to
the sci Of vessels they will be captured on their
s Of %
order have been despatched TO the United States, and
Of will be enforced until made known The
public. Under other circumstances capture could not
be justified. Vessels taken will be sent to Sscrifcos
The conmandant is further invested with the power,
should he deem it necessary to exclude men OF war
from the places blockaded.
A number OF vessels, English, French and United
States, had arrived at Sacrifcios and refused
admittance
II is rumored aud generally believed. that the med
ton Of her majesty Queen Victoria, has been solicited
with view a reconciliation with France.
Noparticuar news from the city OF Mexco other than
report, engenderea undoubtedly in some frightened
imagination, that the French would attack Vera Cruz
and Tampco the Goth.
The Laparouse is lying off this port; she is recently
from Sacrihcios. Frou all learn, infer that
| thing will be done until after October by which time
Baron Defaudis will have arrived in France, and such
means directed as will obligethe Mexcans into
measures at in all probability share the fate Of
Agiers.
