Nrw FASHION FOR HAMA le,ter from

New York says:
81 was amused at new fashion Of wear
ing the hair which has lately been iniTodu-
ced BY our super-cleganis, aud which saw
in perfection last evening The peculiar
thing in il is TO reduce the whole head TO the
state Of subble field, and he IS the most
elegant man WHO comes nearest to having
his sconce shaved perfectly smoohe. One
gent, last evening, wore his hair about a
quarter of an inch long, and as its color was
red, the effect was ludicrous enough. The
man looked as though his upper works were
set lhickly over with short, fiery bristles.-
However, il others laughed he admired, and
both parties being we'll pleased, the thing
could not have been better"

THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
From the Blue Hens Chicken, (Delaware.)

"By list of appointments made by the Pres.
ident since the adjournment of Congress, it APP
pears that forty-one captains are from the slave
States, 10 fifteen from the free; twenty-thrce
first-lieu,enants from slave States to eight from
the free; fiily-seven second lieutenants from
slave States, to thirtytwo from the free"
We clip the above from the Westminster Reg.
lister and Examiner, and we commend it TO the
consideration of the freemen of the North and
the Blue Hens Chickens of Delaware. The
population of the free States is much greater
than that OF the slave States, and yet the APP
pontments are nearly three TO one from the slave
States.

GEN. ScoTT's PRocLAMATIoN.-W are glat
to be enabled to lay before our readers, today
an authentic official copy of General Scott,
Proclamation; by which the public mind vii
be more exactly informed of its import than il
could have been by the transcript which alone il
has had access to, being one which was re-
translation into English from translation into
Spanish The reader will discover, however, by
comparing the official with the douby translated
copy, that the sense Of the former had been sub
stantlally preserved by the latter.
But what is most material 10 be observed, r
this official authorized PRONUNCIATION of the Proc.
lamation, without any particular dissent or pro.
test, and with general commentator, is, that
the principles of the Proclamation are recogni.
zed and adopted by the Administration here.
This entirely relieves us of the duty, which
we had proposed ourselves, before proceeding Ia
any further discussion of the transcendantly I'm.
portant principle Of this Proclamation, of es,ab.
fishing, crcumstanially, the responsibility of the
Executive for every thing that there is obnoxious
in it.
The Proclamation is now ayowed as an Exc.
cutiye act and conjecture about it is at an end.

fifty to one hundred and seventy-ive feet. yell
low and gray sulphuret ore is found in the cavi-
ties of the amigdaloid trap, one hundred and fit
ty feet above the level Of the country. The spo-
cimens were taken from blast made in the ven
Montpelier Mine. This mine is about eleven
and q half miles from the Lake, and six miles
from navgabe water There are three well de-
fined veins of gray sulphuret of copper. piece
of the ore was ussayed, and found TO contain
AZ l2 per cent of copper, and three lbs. OF sil-
yer, to a ton. The cliff, on each side of the
stream, is about one hundred and fifty feet high
The specimens were taken from the three veins
The one assayed is from the upper vein. This
mine is located south Of Fond du Lac.
The impression is prevalent that very large
amount of capital is required to conduct mining
operations successfully. This remark will apply
in some degree, no doubt, to the mines at pres
ent discovered on Lake Superior, but not 10 ar
extent to creute alarm, or discourage investments
In many of the European mines large sums o
money are expended IN underground search fol
VEINS while on Lake Superior the veins appeal
upon the surface, and the mines, if skilfully ant
economically managed, will pay for working from
the start Taking all things into consideration
il will be found that mine can be put into sue
cessful and profitable operation, with as small al
outlay Of money as is required for the success
full prosecution of most kinds Of business requlr
ing capital. The establishment of cotton o.
wooden mandatory, the building steamboat
or ship, all require an equal, if not larger out
lay of capitol-and the amount of money neces
sary for the construction of railroad, or canal
is infinitely larger than is required for the open
ing and working of any mine. The amount o
money invested in any one Of the principal rail
roads in the country, would be amply sufficient tt
open and put in successful operation, all the mines
thus far discovered on the American and Cana
dian side of Lake Superior. Enough is already
known of the productiveness of these mines, tt
warrant the belief that the dividends from The
most productive railroad in the country will bt
insignificant in comparison 10 the revenue to b'
derived from the Lake Superior mines.
