JEFFERSON CrTy, Jan. II, l647.
Gentlemen of the Historical and PhsloSophi.
cal Society.
In the prairie, between the waters Of the
Lower Dry woods and Clear Creek, in Bates
county, are to be seen the signs of an old
mining operation, consisting of four bitches.
between four and five feet wide, extending
about quarter OF mile in length--in four
right parallel lines terminating at the com
mencement OF three parallel curved bitches
Of like dimensions these terminating at the
commencement of two others inversely
curved, and about zoo yards in length.
In the vicinity Of these bitches in a branch
there have beer found very fair specimens
OF silver ore, about 2 miles from this place
in the nearest timber, can be seen the ioun-
dations of three furnaces with quantities OF
cnder, among which has been found piece
OF pure gold about as large as common ri.
file ball.
The ruins of these works are readily Wis,
ble and arrest the attention OF the most in,
different passer by. | am not aware that
the eve OF modern science has been direct
ed 10 this matter, or that the page OF hsto-
nv records the names, country, or success
of those who have thus marked the earth
with their tolls, yet will venture to say
that civilized men Iabored here, and with a
success which remunerated their tolls.
make this communication with the hope
that the society will consider the matter
worthy of its attention, and that these facts
may throw some light how feeble so.ever
it may bel on the early history OF Missouri.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

At the late meeting OF the Historical and
Philosophical Society the following letters
were read:
The following letter was accompanied by
a specimen of coal.
This, it is believed, is fair specimen OF
bi,uminous coal, a deposit of which is on
section "a, township 45, range Ia, in Cole
county, Missouri, miles on a straight line
from the Missouri river, miles by a coun.
ty road to the town Of Marion in said river.
The coal was found about feet below the
surface, and so far in depth as penetrated,
say from to 10 feet, the coal is found to
be of rather an improved quality. The
land is rolling or unduIating, and consid.
cradle portion of i, in the immediate neigh
borhood, is good farming land, pretty well

IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL.

The Brig Reiadeer arrived in New York
on Saturday the | 9Th inst. from Rio, bring
ing late adviccs OF a very important charac
ter.
Her dates are to the Gath November.
The California regiment had arrived
there on their voyage round to Oregon.
Capt. Turner, of the regiment, has re
turned in the Reindeer, bringing dispatches
from Mr.. Wise, our minister, to this govern.
ment.
A very serious difficulty had arisen be
tween the Brazilian government and Mr.
Wise in relation to some American sailors
who had been imprisoned at Rio. and whose
release was demanded by Mr.. Wise.
The Brazilian government refused, and
has requested the United States to REGAL
Mr.. Wise, and also had applied to the gov.
eminent to recall Commodore Rosseau, oil
the American squadron on that station.
In consequence of this difficulty Mr.. " Z.
had refused all intercourse wiki the Brazil
liam government. on the baptism Of the in.
FAINT, Princess Isabella.
He also refused to illuminate on that fes.
tival in common with the deplomltic agents
of foreign governments, and Commodore
Rosseau had refused to fire any salute.
In consequence Of these proceedings. the
upper House Of the Pertinent had voted the
expulsion of Rosseau from the country. Civ.
ing him only six hours notice to leave.
The bill was defeated in the lower House
whereupon many members of the upper
House resigned their seats in the midst OF
great excitement.
The presence of the California regiment
was a great support TO Mr.. Wise, and
strengthened him in the firm stand he took
against the Brazilian government.
Mr.. Wise's situation is very critical, and
may cause rupture between the two gov.
ernments.
