KossUTn's PERSONAL ArrEAEAHcE.-Thc

strongly knit frame, and is y little round
shouIGrrcd. His face is rather oval 4 pair
of blush grey eyes which somewat reminded
me Of O'Conncll's in expression: well sett
beneath full and archcd brow, gave an ami
mated and intelligent look to his countcnance.
His forehead, high and broad, is deeply
wrinkcd, and time has just begun to grizzIc
Il head of straight dark hair, and to leave
bald spot behind. lie has not got the true
Hungarian nose but il is Il fair wel-tormed
feature such rs u French passport would
describe rs moycn: Il thick moustachc nearly
covers his mouth, except when he speaks o:
smiles. and unitcs with beard ard whiskcr
in full flock of dark hair falling down from
his chin. Whether from his recent captivity
or from constitutional causes. there is some
how an mir Of lasstudc in his look, to which
the fatigucs of his voyage not inlprobably
contributed. Altogether he gives one the
idea of 4 man of thought rather than man
of action; there is Il speculative aiT in his
face mingled with 4 degree of melancholy.
which would mark him for visionary or
Theoretical enthusiast rather than for great
leader or q 81 ldicr,"

This was heroic advice, but nowise un.
common in the mouths of our venerable
sircs. George communicated his desi On 10
his mother, and aftcrward to his wife but
the latter would not listen TO his arguments
and wept, and bcseechcd him not to leave
them to the mercy of the mercenary robbers
that ovcrrun the country in the neighborhood
Of the British armies. Earnestly did he
plead the sufierings of his countrymcn and
the necessity Of his presence among those
who were battling for the blessings of libcr-
ty-to nothing would she isten-no argu-
mcnt could convince her What was sin
gle arm in the mighty strife Dcspairing
and impatient, our hero resolved TO leave for
the army the ensuing night, and for this pur-
pose lie made all necessary preparation for
his secret departure. His gun and knapsack
were deposited in the barn, and q letter of
farewell written which he would leave TO be
read after his departure.
Nlidnigh ut lcnghh came, melancholy and
gloomy to George: but he arose from his
bed, to which he had retired in the carl Y part
! of the evening to lul suspicion, and kissing
his wife ailrrtionatciy rs she lay asleep, he
hurried TO The barn, accoutred himself rs
well us his few equipments would allow, and
was soon on his way to join the army. He
had not far to travel, rs Washington had
cncampcd within eighteen miles of Germon-
town, and but half that distance from his
own residence, and long ere daylight on the
first Of October, he had presented himself
within the lines of the American army, and
made known his desire to enlist, and that
mornings rcvcile, rs it beat the time to rise,
was answered also by the presence of George
Madden.
But what CONSERVATION did tho mornings
daws bring TO the hearts of his wife and pa
rents His non-appcarancc was ut first
scarcely noticed, till the former perceived a
letter lying OIL the table directed TO herself,
where George Informed her of his resolu-
tiun, and urged the necessity of his assist
ing in the struggle for freedom.
:" If fall, it said. remember me- shall
die in Il just and glorious cause. If | live
trust me it will be in the enjoyment of .
frecman's glorious privileges" !"
Ere the letter was concluded. the forSakcn
wife had fallen senscless on the floor. The
father felt a glow of patriotic prid
heart at this devotion of his son,
mother kuclt and claspcd her hand
prayer.
The poor wife at last came 10 Ii
but it was 10 wander about the no,

insisting that she should never see

Spea king OF the Quartz mines, The Herald remarks
as follows The principal mines that have been
thoroughly prospected IN this vicinity, are the Pea
dletOn Niue, situated near TUttleto where three
shafts have been sunk 10 considerable depth, aad
IN all OF them the rock has proved very rcn. Ihe
company Is now taking out rock from the VEN
(Which Is 30 inches wide) that Will pay. from ten
cents to ten dollars 10 the pound From the efficient
character OF Mr. George A. PendletOn, the President
Of Ihe Company, think the mhe will pay the
siocf holders immense DIVIDENDS. The Tennessee
NINE has paid very hands 0mey, without any means
Of grinding the rock worth less thau dollar per
pound Tie Sell and Marin Nine paid several thou
sand dollars the last week, and st continues better
In prospect. Some Of the rock taken from this NINE
within a few days IS valued AZ from $50 10 500 per
pound Thiscompany has expended large amount
of labor, ard have al length discovered the gold vein
at greater depth than II has been discovered in any
Other mine In this vicinity.
The mines beyond the Tuolumne, in the
neigh5crhood OF Big 0aklFlai, proving exlre ne
y valuable, ard attracting considerable attention.
II the pIopTeiors N this section Of country would

Ii was with highest pleasure that we yes-

into the CUSTODY of the United States Marshal. For
some time past II las been generally believed that
he had fed the country, and his many friends were
PANIED to believe that he had thus tacltly admitted
the Truth of the helnOus and horrible charges
brought against him.
II with peculiar pleasure therefore, that We now
ascertain that he has come forward manfuy, after
the storm of excitement caused by exaggerated re-
ports has passed away, and treasured ms friends OF
his innocence, by resolving 10 calmly await the re-
suit of an impartial and deliberate trial Without
