Sr. PETERSBURG, June 5.--The quantity OF gold
extracted from the mines in this country last year
was I .37l pounds, Of the value, 10 English money,
of CO 100000. Within the last five years the total
quantity obtained has been 5,9s9 pounds, Of The
value Of 6l2, $4,000 OF late the quantity VI gold
has greatly increased, with every prospect Of the
increase continuing. England hitherto has taken

n1spANnED VOLUNTEERS.

The disbandine Of the Louisiana and Ala
hama Volunteers from Gen. Taylor's camp is
painful and embarrassing, but we cannon see now
il could have been avoided. Gen. Taylor wnen
threatened by a large Mexican force, wrote 10 the
Governor of Louisiana, as he was fully Instructed
and authorized 10 do, Tor "four regiments oil IN
fan,ry. 10 be ordered into service with the utmost
despatch, and for as longest PERIOD antaor'Sedoy
law"
In compliance with thi, requistion, says the
N. o. Delta, "the Governor appealed 10 The parl-
o,ism of our citizens, telling them that he was pre-
nared 10 muster into the service OF The q. States,
as soon as they offered themselves for enrolment,
four regiments of volunteers Jor The term Of si1
months u,lsss sooner discharged When the
volunteers had all left for, or arrived al, the Rio
Grande, the term of enlistment was objected to by
Gen. Scott. who said there was no law sanction
mo a LONGER term than three months enlistment Tor
volunteers, and this opinion is universally allow
ed to be correct. The act Of May provides for The
subsequent enlstment., BY saneiioning the enlist
ment for tpelvc months, or during The war. But the
six months enlistment Of the tour Regiments first
sent over was clearly contrary 10 law, and they
were not subjsc, 10 the authority OF Gen. Taylor
they could a, any time leave, and in doing so would
have been sustained by the civil tribunals. The
Secretary of War offered 10 continue them for IL
months. He could do nothing else; his hands
were tied. Of,he Two alternatives they chose dis
bandment and have returned 10 New Orleans
II is painful circumstance, but could not be
avoided, with The stern DEGREES OF The law staring
the Secretary in The face. The Union has pre-
pared and will publish long and satisfactory ex-
pose of The case In The meantime, it remarks
"The Secretary has no rightto change the laws
of the land. These volunteers were called out
under the former act OF Congress specifying three
months as The term of service. BY what aulho
rity had he the right to extend the service TO six
mon,hs2 The acl OF May las, specifies twelve
months as the term during the war. He offered
10 continue them upon those terms. We trust the
people Of Louisiana and Alabama will do The
Secretary the justice to suspend their opinions
until they see the documents which explain his
course"
