Coin BLurr.-The Chesapeake returned from
Gold Bluff on Saturday, and, from the number Of
passengers who returned in her. the public will get
the impression that the 'fortune for ALL" which
was supposed 10 be in that particular locality for
the mere picking up, is not of as golden nature
anticipated.
From one Of the passengers of the Chesapeake
we learn that the banks in the vicinity of the bluff,
and for several miles north and south of it, contain
large quantities OF black sand, in all of which may
be found what is termed "scalc gold," but in par
ces so fine to prevent its being separated from
the sand by the ordinary process OF washing; and
that mining can only be made profitable by the
labor OF well organized companies, aided by such
machinery or apparatus will enable them to as
say, or preclpitate by acids
Our informant also extended his examination
to tho bluff, but his impressions were any thing but
satisfactory. He expresses the opinion however,
that the same obstacle to success presents itscl
there, as IN the case Of tho sand found upon the
beach, and that the whole undertaking will ere
long be abandoned, because of the expense and la.
Dor attending the separation of the gold from the
foreign substances with which it 10 found TO be sc
thoroughly mixcd.-Pocifc Nescs. Feb. l5th

GREAT RAIL RoAD PRoFITs. A recent report of
the earnings of the Utica and Schenectady rail road
70 miles in length, for fourteen years past, discoses
$1,5I8,2O I! The road was constructed and put in
operation for ST. 500 900.
Since the road was completed, the stockholders
have received back all the principal moneys paid to
build the road and per cent. interest thereon,
and the owners of a clear surplus in stock,
issued them worth SO ABS, 39O,52, which is selling
in the market at &c per cent above parse that the
shareholders, by selling their stock, could realize, a
ter the return Of all sums paid by them and per
for its use clear net surplus of more than fur
millions and half Of dollars. -.-
Probably other work of public character in
the country has yielded such profits. 1t is now pro.
posed to construct another road between Utica and
Schenectady, the other side of the river, to be
called the Mohawk Valley road. The estimated cost
of the rival road is lO7 and the engineer es
mates that with single track it will pay Ia per cent.
the first year after it is in operation.

CENTRAL ROAD.

We learn from letter addressed by Mr.. John C.
McRae, Engineer, to the Greensborough Patriot, that
up to the 25h of last month, the Central Road from
Goldsborough to five miles beyond Hilsbcrough, had
been put under contract with the exception of two
three small sections.
Mr.. McRae thus speaks of the lettings at Pineville.
Johnston, and of Or. Watson: ...z.rs ~
"On Saturday last the lettings were at Pineville,
the residence of DR.. Josiah o. Watson, that whole
souled railroad man and hosptable gentleman. He
submitted proposition to take at the Bridge
across Neuse and all the Road which his neighbors
did not wish to take, from that river to the Wayne
line and by way of showing his confidence in, and
IiberaIity towards the Road, he proposed to take il
all in stock. This is the gentleman who first pro-
posed that he would be of hundred to build the
Road Indeed, half dozen such noble spirits could
do it,
We have no doubt that by the llth the whole Road
will have been put under contract.

The PULSE. Men in our climate pulsate seventy
two times in minute, cows forty-eght, and horses
thirty-six. But in Russia and Lapland, men pulsae
only from fory-fve 10 fifty in minute. All excess
either of hot or cold, produces diminution of the
powers of pulsation. The watch. it is said,
beats ticks l6, 60 times in hour. This is All,
$40 times day, $50 ,42l $50 times year allowing
the year be three hundred and sixtyhve days and
six hours. Sometimes watches will with care

metal; but we tell you of curious machine,
which is made of something near so hard steel
and brass t is much harder than the flesh of your
arm. yet it will beat more then 5000 times hour,
100000 times day, and 1880 900 times year.
1t will sometimes, though not often, last hundred
years and when does, it beats 1888 600 times.
One might think this last machine, soft as it is,
would wear out than the other; but it does

tits rumored that Edward StanfY is at last out as

A GENEROUS Act. De Bows Commercial Review,
for May, mentions fact not before generally known.
which is highly credable to all the parties concern
ed, as follows:
"a short time before Mr.. Calhouns death, and
about the time il ascerained that he declin-
ing, it was resolved by number Of public spirited
gentlemen raise by subscription among themselves,
sum of money sufficient to pay off some debts, that
in his devotion the public interests, he had been
obliged to contract and furnish him with ample funds
to travel to Europe. The design was to demand ii
of him duty to his State to quit Congress for a
time and 90 abroad. He died before they had made
up the amount or communicated with him upon the
subject. The total sum raised was $50, 900.
The venerable Judge Huger, H. Gourdin, and Nj.
Conner, the in the matter, and acted as
the trustees"
The money has been placed at the disposal of Mrs.
Calhoun.
Our readers will remember that similar act of
liberality was extended to Mr. Clay, several years
ago, a number of his personal friends, (among whom
we are proud to say gentleman of .his State,
who would be offended should We name him) having
subscribed $4,000, and quietly paid off Mr.. Clay's
notes to that amount in the Kentucky Banks-the
first knowledge Mr.. Clay having of the matter being
obtained when he called at the Bank to attend TO his
notes.
