GOLD AGA1S.-Wc mentioned in our last,
that the mine so successfully worked by Mr.
Dorm, was in Edgelield, since then we have
seen Mr.. Dorm himself, who informs us the
mine is in this District and that in two weeks
he has realized the sum of ten thousand dol
lars and upwards from his operation with
eight hands. The work Of two days alone,
yielded him something over three thousand
dollars. Independent Of the gold, there is at
this mine inexhaustible qualities Of manga

they have the privilege of appointing two members

How TO MAKE TURPENTINE. DESTROYS of giving
our country friends as much light the subject OF
making turPentIne as is convenient at disposal
we append the following, by distinguished gentle
men, defining the process. 1t would appear that a
slight difference exists between them.
Chief Justice RUFFIN, of our Supreme Court in
the case of the State William Moore saws:
1.-The mode of making Turpentine is this An ex-
cavatIon, commany called box, is made in the BODY
of the tree the ground into which the turpentne
runs from the tree above and, in order produce
How OF the gum or to promote freely, the tree
is occaslony scored above the box with sharp iron
instrument, called round shave and the scoring is
done in such to direct the current of the
descending sap into the box and the turpentine is
then collected or dipped out of the box from time to
time as becomes FULL during the of gathering
which ordinarily begins in March and ends in Octo-
Der. The scoring often extends up the BODY of the
tree to the height of ten fifteen feet and in its de-
scent part of the turpentne adheres to the tree and
becomes hard, while that, which remains liquid con-
nues its course downwards until it drps in the box
where 1t remains until collected, and put into casks
for use or markell
This is the judicial mode.
The Hungarian process is different. When Kos
suth passed over road his hegira the North
his curiosity excited by observing the pine trees
barked up to various heights, and he inquired the
meaning of the scarfcations. On being told that it
was done to make urpentine he is reported to have
shrugged his shoulders and said, " One grand mis-
take Dat Is not de way to make de turpentine You
take and you bore leee hole half way in de tree
with an auger, and zen you put in de pipe, and de
turPentine run from it, and you catch it in de tub
while 1t run,' la Maple Sugar. He was just from
the West.
presume our country friends will be perfectly salts
fed if the current of the descending sap'' freely
runs whether thro' judicial Hungarian, or ordinary
appliances. WILMINGTON Herald.
