The Riuer. - The unusually high stage Of the
Mississippi River at this season of the year has
greatly excited the fear of the planters living on
the Mississippi Several crevasses have already
taken place, one of them in West Baton Rouge,
near the Ponte Coupee line, which has flooded all
the neighboring plantations. If the river continues
10 rise, the whole country below this point will
greatly suffer, and the news from above is not of
nature to allay our fears on the subject - Baton
Rouge Gazette, Sd inst.
Ia:oo Riper, Unprecedented Operfow.-The
IaZoo River is now several inches higher than it
has ever been, within the memory of the oldest
inlabtant'' The causeways both to Greenwood
and Point Lefore are oyerhowed in many places,
and the bridges have loated of. The two villages
themselves are well nigh inundated and at latest
accounts the river still rising All intercourse
has ceased with the river, and we at loss to
know when it may be resumed. 1t appears as
though the Mississippi had left its bed, and is pre-
cipitating its impetuous current through the pass
into our gentle Iazoo-thus inundating our fine
bottom lands and bearing off every impedment in
its way-Carrolton (Miss) Democrat, 3lst.

Having given the itinerary the route to San
Francisco by land and water alternately, shall be
proud TO lay before the reader some neurological
information, which will not be without interest to
the gold-searchers.
There are frequently brought TO me, for grains of
gold, scales Of iron pyrites, and of mica in loose
parcels. Native gold, pyriiic iron, arsenical iron,
pyrltiC "copper" arsenical cobalt, gray cobalt, ap-
preaching to yellow color present, in their exter-
nal characteristics, very striking points of analogy
Native gold is not affected by nitric acid; placed
in the fire. it gives out neither smoke nor color its
minutest particles exhibit beautiful yellow color.
Nitric acid produces with pyritic iron reddsh-ye-
low solution. Pyritic iron, when pulverized, be-
comes blackish-green. Pyric iron is also called
crystalized suphuraed iron. Its hue is that of the
yellow parts of bronze. Arsenica iron is of livid
white, inclining TO yellowness; it disengages by
the action Of fire white fumes of very decided
garlic smell PuveriZed, its powder is gray. Py-
rilc copper heated with nitric acid forms solution
of fine blue color, if ammonia be added to the
solution. Pyritic copper is of brilliant metallic
yellow pulverized, its color inclines to red. Ar
senical and gray cobalt are of white color, ap-
proximating to gray; sometimes the color inclines
TO yellow; the gray cobalt is the more shining.
Both change the color of solution of borax to blue
they exhale powerful garlic odor by the action OF
fire. Pulverized, their powders have different
shades from brownish gray to blackish gray.
Gold may also be distinguished from pyritic cop
per in that the gold smelted by the bowpipe pre-
serves its yellow color, while pyrtic iron commences
by forming black globule; it is distinguished from
pyriIc iron, the iron forming, by the action of the

not been acted on.

with that of mica is sufficient to distinguish them
