A. A. SARGENT EDITOR.
FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER
Quartz Mining.

Upon this much discussed yet vital subject
a well-written communication will be found
on our outside. We dissent wholly from the
views of the writer upon oil practical propo-
sitions he advances. If convention of
Quartz miners could be convened who are in
favor of selling or leasing the mineral lands,
the way pointed of by W." would be as ef-
ficient as any that could be devised But
such a convention, the call Of which shall be
general, cannot bs convened. If there is any
point on which the great body of miners
agree, it is that the mineral lands, Of every
description, should not be sold or leased
The reasons for this belief are multiform,
and "W" need S not to be reminded of them.
If the sale of the mineral lands seems to
"W" as measure that should be petitioned
for by the convention, he should attend its
next meeting and advocate his views, and
we will warrant respectful hearing of them.
"W." will find several practical sugges-
tions in the new code of laws by a reviewal
of them, tending to strengthen the tenure Of
quartz lead holders. Under the present sys-
tenn there is no acknowledged right of any
person to hold his lead much longer than he
works it. But the new laws propose to in
stitute ownership under certain conditions,
forecer.
No one will recognize the right Of any con-
ventiou to make er post facto laws. or abro-
gate privileges held in connection with leads
already taken up. The action Of the present
convention tends to confirm all rights now
held, and to add to them, and requires lands
hereafter located to be taken up according to
certain rules, conformity with which rules,
simple and convenient, will enquire the title.
A future convention may entirely abolish all
laws pre-existent SO far as new locations may
be concerned, but cannot deprive those who
hold in conformity with old laws, Of their
rights under them. The parallel in this case
is exact with the practice and power Of Con-
gress. Therefore any capitalist may invest
with no fear Of a subsequent convention des-
troying his title, for that cannot be DONE
What he holds under the laws of one con-
vention, no other convention can touch. If
he wishes to make new locations, then he
may become liable to new laws and this
difficulty might occur under the jurisdiction
Of Congress. Experience has shown that
miners, especially quartz miners, are slow to
change their laws, and the difficulty is in too
little rather than in TOO much legislation by
conventions.
With reference to the Recorder, the whelc
county is notified to attend and say if it will
create such an Office, and if every district
will send its delegates, it can have a voice in
choosing the incumbent
Our correspondent will further observe
that the next session Of Congress expires on
the fourth Of March next, and his petition
will have to lay over year. Meanwhile
will he not assist in placing our convention
tional laws" in state better than their pre-
sent heterogeneous condition.

Kessuth and Gorgey.

While Kossuth is receiving the enthusi.
astic sympathy, admiration, and assistance
of the people Of England and America,
Gorgey, the great leader of the Hungarian
War of Independence, drags on lonely
and momentaneous existence at klagen-
furth, in Corinthia, city much resorted to
by pensioned officers Of the Austrian a army.
The New York Tribune says:
"There he lives with his family, consist.
ing Of his wife, single child, now but
three months old, woman servant and a
soldier, who was his attendant throughout
the war. He sees little society, hardly a
family Of the city having sought his ac-
quain,ance. He has but one intimate
friend, and tha, is an Englishman. His
time is passed in studying chemistry and
physics, and his chief amusement is lectur>
ing upon physical chemistry to few per.
sons. Of money, he has plenty, from the
Austrian government he receives yearly
pension Of 5000 forms, and from that OF
j Russia he has received 5000 silver rubies.
He is very rarely seen in public; about
once month his wife prevails on him to
take walk for the sake of his health, but
in general he avoids appearing abroad. -

show how utterly contemplate a human
being can make himself in the seryics of
despo,ic master The Washington CORES.
pondent Of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, writing on the l2.h, says:
while closing my letter a, this late
hour Of the night, il is announced TO me
from Respectable bu, unofficial source,
thai Mr.. Hulsemonn, the charge d'afairs
from Austria, has addressed formal COM
munication to the President directly-.hus
overstepping the proprielies of official in
tercourse-compiaining of the presence Of
the Secretary Of State at The Kossu,h dim
ner, and Of the sentiments expressed by
him on that occasion. Whether Mr..
Webster may consider it proper under such
circumstances TO send him his passport or
to give him second edition of certain
letter. to which he referred in the speech,
is more than can venture 10 predict in
the absence Of fuller information. The
public will understand that the present in.
formation is given with the qualification of
the foregoing facts. as it is no part Of my
practice of inclination TO make statements
without undoubted authority in every in
stance"
In telegraphic dispatch Of the 18Th,
published in the same number Of the paper,
The CORRESPONDENT adds:
"The letter from the Chevalier Hulse-
mann to the President, referred to in my
regular Communication Of last night, was
transmitted yesterday, after the purpose
to do so had been openly announced. 1t
has not yet reached the Department Of
State, but i. will be received there 10 day.
The Presiden, and Mr.. Webster had pri.
vate consultation on the subject this MORN
ing. 1t is not improbable that the Cheva.
lier's passports will be presented 10 him."
II is about time that the daring impu-
deuce Of these representatives OF despotism
should meet with proper rebuke from our
government. We hope Mr.. Webster will
huri his thunderbol,s at the Chevalier, and
let him know tha, his arrogance will not
be submitted to by our people. If Old
Hickory jackson was President just now,
we are inclined 10 think that he would
give Mr.. Hulsomann ''his walking papers"
without moments delay.-Pitts. Post.
