MINERAL RESOURCES OF VIRGINIA.

We yesterday saw rich and beautiful speci-
men of Plumbago, turned up by the plough on
the land Of John r. Edmunds, Esq, Of Halifax
county. 1t is pronounced by our best chemists
TO be very pure and valuable. The mine is very
extensive, running halfa mile through hill,
and is apparently ineyhaustible. 1t lies in la
minm, very much like our coal fields This e.
normous bed of Plumbago is situated about halt
mile from Banister river, on which it can be
easily transported into ba;teaux to Weldon, and
thence to Norfolk and other markets, where it
will command at least $50 per ton.
We hear that in England there is but one
mine (lhe Borrodale) of the substance 1t is ex-
ceedingly valuable, aud the mine is as scrupu-
lousy guarded as if it were gold. 1t is very
fine and used for the manufacture of pencil
leads.
We are glad 10 hear that a specimen is to be
sent 10 the Worlds convention in London, with
other rich minerals, to show what Nature has
done for Virginia, for her to calculate and i'm
prove--Rich. Eng.

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The Secretary of the Interior has boldly and
fully met the old Wing doctrine Of high duties
being beneficial to the farming and planting inte-
rests. In his report just submitted, he RECON-
mends the establishment Of a separate bureau,
for the advancement and protection Of the agri-
cultural interests declaring emplaicalIy and argu-
mentalvely, that''A TARIFF CAN DO BUT LITTLE
DIRECTLY TO BENEFIT THE FARMER OR PLANT
Err" Has not the Democratic party always con-
tended that high tariffs were only useful to the
manutactursr-th they build up privileged
class at the expense Of all o,hers-and has it not
always been the Wing doctrine that these
high tariffs were the very best things for the
farmer, as they made a home market for his pro-
ducts? Out the Home Secretary says they edo
no such thing" and "can do but little to benefit
either the farmer or the planter" Thus it is
that one by one the Wings abandon their old and
cherished doctrines and adopt the principles of the
democracy. Well, we are glad to see them at
last opening their eyes 10 the true interests Of the
country, and hope they may continue 10 improve
until there shall be no cresd known or pracliced
but The great Democratic doctrine Of ''the great
ssr good to the greatest number. '-.argus.

CLOSE OF THE YEAR.

Another year will soon be added. to those that
form the ''mighty past" Another sand has sunk
in the hour-elass OF Time. In looking back at
the path which has been trodden during the
past year we behold the way srown with brok-
Ell resolutions-sad remnants of the traities of
humanity. Many who sat ont at the commence
ment OF the year indulging the hope that they
would learn wisdom from the past TO guide them
in the future, have found, that though ':she
crie,h at the gates, at the entry of the city, at
the coming in at the DOORS" they have not
needed her voice, and that now at the close of
another year they must sigh over the wreck of
their hopes. The ghosts Of departed hours-mis-
spent time-come up in full review and chde
them with a waste of the precious boon--,he
Flatlerer has lulled TO oetray and they have lis.
tened to the syren song until the year has fled
The little maiden who sat on the bank of
stream and threw into it flower after flower to
see how smoothly they would glide along the
current, vauly cried, when all had gone,-
"Bring back my Flouers !" Enrap,ured at see
ing the lovely blossoms float down the stream,
she little thought their number was diminish
ing, and thus youth and more mature age, in
the eager pursuit of pleasure, notice not the ra-
pidity with which "Time hies," until they find
the year closing upon them ere yet they had be-
gan 10 practice upon the good resolutions with
which they sat out at its commencement, and
then, like the maiden, as vainly cry, "Bring
back my Hours ~
The year has been an eveniful one. 1t has
seen dreadful scourye sweep over the land
hurrying off its thousands of victims-it has
seen thousands OF our fellow citizens leaving
their homes and adventuring upon tedious and
toilsome journey to distant land in pursuit of
Gold lit has witnessed mighty intellectual
conflict with the sages OF the land to save the
Union from dismemberment-and it has seen
fall, one BY one, into the tomb, many of the ma
tion's most honored sons-Calhoun and Taylor
and Worth and Johnson are names not unfamil-
lar TO the ear, but the sword Of the one and the
voice OF the other will no more be raised in de-
fence of their country, her institutions and her
llaws-with them, all is silence

MANASSAS GAP RAIL ROAD.

We understand that, on application Of three
fflhs of the legal voters of the town, the COM
mon council OF this place at meeting on Tues
day night, passed a law releasing the condition
originally imposed upon their subscription of
$3.50, 600 to the Manassas Gap Railroad. This
leaves the sum at once available Tor the con-

that $685. 900 shall be applied 10 the construc-
ton Of the eastern thirty-two miles. viz:-from
the junction with the Orange and Alexandria

THE CAPTIVE DAUGHTER OF Mrs. WH1rE.-
The St. Louis Republican publishes the circular
of the Commissioners of Indian Affairs. addressed
to D. D. Mitchell, Superintendent of Indian AT
fairs a S.. Louis, apprsing him ,hai.a rawaId Of
one thousand dollars is offered by The Indian
Bureau for the recovery Of The daughter Of the

The Commissioner states that Congress having
appropriated fifteen hundred dollars for the re-
deception of this child, he is aXious thai the mo-
ney shall be SO expended as to give full stfect to
the benevolent intention Of tha: body.
"From the latest information received upon
The subject" he says, at is believed that she
yet remains in captivity among the Apaches
proper, or that a mixed band termed Iacellates,'
which, for years past, have infested lie vicinity
Of San Fernandez de Taos, the country between
itand Bent's Fort, and the Santa Fe road near
the settlement of New Mexico yet il is possible
she may have been sold by her captors to In
dams OF some other tribe. She is HOW abous
three years OF age"
1t is to be hoped that The benevolent design Of
Congress may be Accomplished BY the discovery
and ransom OF this child at al early day.

TIE BOUNTY LAND Law.

We learn from the Pension Office that, in an
swer TO various enquiries relative to the Bounty
Land Act Of September 2Sth 1850, decisions
have been made as follows:-
l. That where the service has been rendered
by substitute, he is the person entitled to the
benefit, and not his employer. This is in ac-
cordance with the first statement made, but con.
trary to a brief letter published lately.] 2. That
the widow OF soldier who has rendered the SER
vice required BY the law is entitled 10 bounty land,
provided she is widow at the passage OF the
law, although she may have been married seve-
raj tunes; or although her marriage to the Off
Ger or soldier may have taken place after he left
the service but if not a widow when the law
passed, the benefit OF the act nures to The minor
children OF the deceased soldier. 8. That no
person who has received or is entitled 10 bounty
land under prior law is entitled to the benefit
OF the act OF the 28th OF September, 1850. l..
That no soldier is entitled TO more than one war
rant under this act, although he may have served
several terms; but where Il soldier has served
several terms he will receive warrant for the
greatest quantity OF land to which the several
terms consolidated will entille him. s. In all
cases where any portion of the marine corps III

Interesting Debate IN the senate-E4r. Seuard

Correspondence of the New York Herald
WASHINGTON Dec. IL, 1850.
There was sharp debate in the Senate to-
day OIL the question of party prescription in
Which MIR. Ewing, late Secretary of the Home
Department, was challenged to the ISSUE He
ayered that General Lane was discharged from
the Goyernorship of Oregon, for neglect Of duty,
and because OF complaints from the people Of the
territory over Which he held the supremacy-
The reason given for Colonel Weller's dis
missal. was, also, for neglect of duty, as we'll
as tor extravagant expenses, which had not
been accounted for.
Messrs. Dodge of Iowa, GwiE of California,
Cass, Walker and Whitcomb, seized upon the
occasion to unrobe the proceedings of the
ex-SecretaIy as we'll as those OF his adjutors in
the former cabinet, and completely drove him to
the wall in his own defence. He was met and
overthrown at every point. Even single con-
tession that the Offices were wanted for other
men would have saved him but in still stick
ing to the poor apology which broke down Gen
Taylor's cabinet, Mr. Ewing is himself con.
denned by his peers All The salt which he is
said to have formerly manufactured, will moi
save him.
The late removals of Seward men in the State
of New York. have excited some curiosity here
1t is understood however, that President Fill.
more regards all the enemies Of the slavery adj
justment as his enemies, and all the friends O
the late compromise as his friends. This is hi.

The Commissioner of Pensions publishes tina
under the Bounty Land Law, where services
was performed by substitutes, the latter is en-
titled to the land; that marines who served il
any war referred to in the act are entitled te
