ANOTHER Rich CoPPER MINE IN CosNEorioUT.-
We have just seen some exceedingly rich specimens
of copper ore, which have been dug (on1y sir feet
below the surface of the earth) from an extensive
copper mine which is just being opened at Itch
field, South Farms. Professor Hubbard of Yale
College has examined the mine, and made a highly
favorable report of its value and location. r. T.
Barnum, esq, Philo F. Barnum, and others, have
purchased largely in this mine, and tomorrow
commence opening il with three sets of miners,
each set to work eight hours, and thus keep the
thing constantly in operation day and night We
understand that the developments thus far made
show this to be far superior to the Bristol Mine,
which last year paid a nett profit of one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars, and is growing better
and richer, every foot that it increases in depth.
Such copper mine in Connecticut is a heap better
than gold mine in California.

The Slavery question, in its various aspects, con-
stitutes but very small portion of the subjects dis
cussed in the press of the free States, and when
treated Of, it is almost uniformly done with mod
eration and in tone of Difference to the guarantees
OF the Constitution and to the rights Of the slave
holding States, that, in our judgment, should be
the occasion OF just cause of offence or excite
alarm in any quarter. In these remarks, neither
the noisy but few abolitonists their press are in
cluded. They are, when compared with the whole
mass of right-minded citizens, as contemplate in
numbers as they are criminal in their designs,
and would be entirely without consideration were
it not for the consequence unnecessarily and un-
wisely given them by the southern alarmists
With the exception Of portion of these insane ia
natics attachment to the Union is SO general that it
may be pronounced to be universal. This attach
ment is SO strong that it will not anticipate any
danger TO the Union till it shows itself by a palpa-
BILE physical effort to its bonds.-N. Y. Coa-

The LATE DR. Misunderstanding of the Rev.
Dr. Miller, who recently died at Princeton, N. j.,
the Newark Daily AdUertiser says:
60 DR.. Miller was born near Dover, in the State Of
Delaware, where his reverend father "a native Of
Boston) then settled pastor, October 81
1869 and graduated at the University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1889, having long been the oldest living
graduate of that institution. He studied theology
with DR.. Nesbitt at Carlisle Pa, and was ordained
and installed over the United Presbyterian churches
of New York in the summer of 1898. He con-
tinued in that responsible position until the spring
of the year 1913, when he was called by the gene
raj assembly to aid in founding the Theological
Seminary at Princeton, of which he has been the
senior professor ever since, or rather until he was
constrained at the last meeting of the assembly, TO
ask to be relieved account OF declining health.
"The request was granted; but the prevailing
sense of his worth and services manifested by
his election emeritus professor of the nstitu
ton which he had SO served and adorned for some
thirty-six years. During much of this period, DIR.
M was also a leading member of the board of trus-
tees of the College of New Jersey.
"Dr. M. was pre-eminently, in the best sense Of
the term, Christian gentleman, whose personal
address and department would have concliated re-
spect aud attention in the most polished courts"

From the Ne,o Orleans Bulletin.

We give this document to-day in full, and re-
commend it to the attentive perusal of readers.
We have not time at present TO make any ex-
tended remarks respecting it, and will only observe
that it is not only most able and satisfactory state
paper, but is just such communication as we think
the trainers of the Constitution intended should
be made by the Chief Magistrate of the nation to
Congress. 1t contains no long-spun arguments,
running through entire columns, on matters Of ma
tional policy-no attempts to make political CAPT.
tai by giving extended views in favor Of particular
party measures-but is really complying with the
provision of the Constitution which says the Presi-
dent shall give to Congress information on the
state Of the Union, and recommend TO their consid-
Grafton such measures he shall Judge necessary
and expedient," which he has done in terse and
condensed form every item of interest connected
with our domestic and foreign relations.
There upwards of sixty paragraphs in the
message, and almost every one embraces distinct
and separate subject, in which every thing is said
that was necessary in document of the kind, and
in the most appropriate language. We do not be-
lieve that in the whole range Of the annual mes
sages from all of his illustrous predecessors.
there is any of them in which such variety OF
information has been communicated points OF
public interest and Importance, where the views
and recommendations of the Executive have been
stated in SO frank and perspicuous manner; and
the whole has been condensed into space not ex-
ceeding the fifth part of some of the more recent
messages. 1t we'll deserves to be made model for
future Communications of the kind, and cannot fail
to give general satisfaction.

From The Natchez (lfiss.) Cotrier.

We give this important document in full in our
columns this morning. From the hasty exalnna
ton we have yet been able TO besow upon it, il is
of the very ablest admirable and patriotic
messages that have emanated from the Executive
II is Old lack all over, being wise, firm, prudent,
patriotic and comprehensive There is none of that
tedious repetition that windy verbosty, in it, that
made the message Of his immediate predecessors
simple, yet clear and comprehensive, and he APP
proaches the points he wishes to make, with that
readiness and precision which made his army dc.
spatches universally admired both in the United
States and Europe.

nual message of General Taylor, which we feel
sure will be found highly acceptable II is charac-
terized by that plain, unaffected simplicitythat
comprehensive brevity," and calm, dignifed tone
which marked all his dispatches during the late
war. Free from the clustering bravado which has
characterized some of the state papers cmanating
from the same office temperate and dignified in
sure that however much some of the American pco-
pie may disagree in some of its recommendations,
yet, as whole, it must be favoraby received by
them.
