BloGaAPnY AND PoeTIcAL REMAINS OF THE LATE
MARGARET MILLER DAVIDSON. BY Washington
Irving. Lea& Blanchard, Philadelphia. For sale by
F. Taylor. =
The book mentioned some months ago as being
in preparation for the press, has at last-and
welcome is it. We happy it fell into the hands of
SO excellent biographcr The subject, while living
her brief life was the most delicate sensitive plant
and her remains are the breaihings of an ethereal
spirit
"Thou weit unfit to dwell with clay,
For sin too pure, for earth too bright
And death, who ca I'd thee hence away,
Placed on his brow gem of light"
We peruse the volume with sweet but melancholy
interest, it is different from the usual dross OF
the world, and so far removes the spirit from the
turgid and sckening pool of politics All little did
this imaginative and almost seraphc being feel the
realities of treacherous, corrupt and selfish !!
She seemed only to exist in the regions of poetry,
surrounded by the images of her own bright fancy.
The biography occupies about half the volun e,
being, in truth, but faithful transcript of mother
heart" The poems much more numerous and
beautiful than we had supposed, and the thoughts
more mature. To OF her own exquisite ex
strong affections Of earth - and the whole of her brief
sejenrn here seems Ia have been atrucre TO regain
her native skies. She died at the age of l5 We
may apply to her passage from Of her own ten
der apostrophes to the memory Of her sister Lucrcta
who also gave early promise Of rare poetic excellence
- One who came from heaven awhile
To bless the mourners here,
Their joys TO hallow with her smile
Their sorrow with her tear.
Who joined to all the charms Of earth
The noblest gifts of heaven
To whom the MUSES. at her birth
Their sweetest smiles had given.
Whose eye beamed forth with fancy's ray,
And genius pure and high;
Whose very soul had seemd 10 battle
In streams of melody.
The cheek which once so sweetly beamcd
Grew paij with decay
The burning fire within consumed
Its tenement of clay,
Death as If fearing TO destroy,
Passed DER her couch awhile;
She gave a tear for those she loved,
Then met him with smile.

Mr. F. Blackburn has placed in the Exchange
sample of silver, entirely pure, from the Washing
ton mine, Davidson County North Carolina. The
mass weighs 277 ounces, and is worth about Four
hundred dollars. AS we do no. remember to have
seen any silver from mines in this country before,
we made some enquiries as to the manner of Oh
taining it, and the chances OF getting more; and
the following is the result.
The company went into operation, under very
advantageous charter from the State of North Caro-
lima, about the first OF September, lSi0, the mine
being then but partially opened and showing the
bed of ore to he OF very great extent, comprising
millions of tons of ore, of the richest kind. Ia the
early part of 81 one furnace for smelling pu,
into operation, which up to the present time, has
produced 25 tons Of mixed metal, dead and silver j
the early smelling, from which this sample is made,
yielding only about from one hundred to two hun.
dred and fifty ounces silver TO the ton, and gradu
ally improving up to this time, when it yields five
to six hundred ounces per ton of mixed metal.
Within the last few weeks, two more furnaces have
been put in operation, and three more, making in
all six will so into operation very shortly when the
yield will equal from 500 to 1000 pounds per day,
valuing from S525 to $500 The proceeds of the
one furnace have been sufficient to more than pay
the expenses of the mine since going into operation
up 10 the first of September, from which period the
dividends of the company will commence.
The office the company is at "a Church Alley
where samples of the lead and nharge may be
seen, and any further information on the suhjec,
may be had.-U. S. GG-.
