A CITIZEN.

~ The Light House contracted to be built on
the south side of Hog Island, Northampton county,
Virginia. in April last has been finished, and will
soon be lighted up. Its ground level is ten feet
above the sea- and Its elevation to the light ia sixty
four feet seventy four feet above the level Of the
sea.
The contract was performed by Mr.. Thomas B.
Grose. OF Maine aud the work, we are informed,
has been done in the most faithful manner, and it
is but justice to the contractor to say that the eng
neer detailed to examine the work, was SO well
satisfied with the many very essential improve
ments made by Mr. Grose, at his own expense, that
he recommended to the Treasury Departm 4nt that
they pay him four hundred dollars Iii addition to
the sum called for by the contract. which recon-.
mendaton has been adopted and the money paid
over, which is but another proof that strict integrity
in the fulflment of contracts is the best poiicy

THE QUARTZ CRUsnER AGAIN.

In compliance with our request to be fur
nished with all possible information with re-.
gard to this machine. which we view as a
a real curiosity, a friend has sent US the fol-
lowing letter. He is a person who knows
perfectly well what he is writing about, and
his word may therefore be relied upon:
COLUMBIA. FLU, Sept. "a. 1852.
My DEAR DIsPATCH-Agreeable TO your
request. visited the Telleereum Gold Mines
on the 2lst, with the view fsceing MIR. J. w.
Cochran's model machine for crushing gold
Quartz, in operation. Unfortunately for me, it
was not in operation on that day. The pullies
directing the belt had not been placed exactly
in proper position, and were being replaced.
1t had been tried, however, sufficiently TO test
its capabiity.
There laid the quartz upon which il had
acted, reduced to the most impalpable powder.
To-day have q letter from MIR. John G.
Beasly, agent for Commodore Stockton, in
which he says: at is now in operation, and
gives me entire satisfaction. II is now crush
ing our quartz rock al the rate Of two tons per
hour, to unv required fineness, with inch
belt, running 600 feet per minute, and requires
bat one negro 10 look after it, Indeed, a new
era in the line OF quartz crushing is upon u.s.
This machine, by its simplicity Of construc-
ton, cheapness, efhcacy ana durablhty, IS
destined to supercede all other machines now
in use. This machine, unlike all others, wears
itself in order, for if the balls not spherical
when started, they will soon become so, and
continue to work better until the material is
exhausted, and when the machine is worn out,
there is nothing lost but few pounds of
rough casting.
am clearly persuaded that this machine
will crush more quartz in one day than all the
stamps, to the number of 40 or so. IN the Com
modore's mills. In this may err, but really
believe it. l don't profess TO know much of
gold mining, but 1 certainly claim to have
more than ordinary ideas Of the efficiency Of
machines. The anal gamator told me he
thought he would obtain at least Is per cent
more from the quartz crushed by Mr.. J. w.
Cochran's machine Than he got from the
stamps. l shall visit the gold mines again,
shortly, and should nything turn up worthy of
note, you may again hear from me.
Very respectfully, yours,
RO. II. MAYO.

CLASSICAL.

The Washington Union commences an arti.
Gle upon the subject OF Col. Magruder's letter
| as follows:
When Achilles at one blow struck the revi>
| Ter ofthe brave men of the Greek army, Their
| sites, dead at his feet, he furnished useful
admonition to calumniators, if he did not ex>
| tinguish the race ITSELF
Now, all we know about the matter of Their
sites, is derived from an ancient Greek writer
called Homer. He says that Ulysses, not
Achilles, chastised Thersites, and not by str>
king him dead at his feet, but merely by stri.
king him on the back with his sword. Butwe
are living in a world that is bringing strange
things to light every day. The other day an
influential Journal told US that Bonaparte
turned Mameluke. Many years ago, another
influential Journal" spoke of the manner in
which "Hannibal carried the war into Africa"
Now, third ''infueHtul Journal" speaks of
Thersites being struck dead at the feet of
Achilles, when the truth of the matter, if we
may credit Homer, is, that he was chastised by
Ulysses, for taking the part of that warrior,
and advising the Greeks to retreat, on account
of their having lost his services.
We have a combination of three splendid
Classicisms, five may coin word,) made by
three great Journalists, betraying an intimacy
with the facts of history and story that is alb
soutely astonishing. Here they are, "all in
row." like the four and twenty iddlers. "Han-
nibal- like, we will carry the war into Africa"
That is No. l. No.. 2: ale did not turn Catho-
lie in Mexico, like Bonaparte, who turned
Mamaluke in Egypt. No. 3: "When Achilles
at one blow struck the reviler of the brave
men of the Grecian army, Thersites, dead at
his feet" &c.
The Lord have mercy on these classical men,
they know too much for US. We cannot even
attempt to follow in their footsteps.
The following is the translation, by Pope,
Of the scene referred to:
" He said, and covering as the bastard bends,
The weighty sceptre on his back deseends,
On the round bunch the bloody tunors vie,
The tears spring startling from his haggard eyes"

WONDERFUL EscApE.-Yesrerday morning a
horse attached to a butchers wagon, driven by
small colored boy, ran OFF on Broad street and
pitched over the high embankment at the stone
arch over Shockoe creek north of thu Central
Railroad Depot, descending almost perpendicularly
about forty feet, the boy, horse, and cart all tlmb.
ling down together and yet strange to say, the
boy and horse escaped with but slight injury
The wagon alone was seriously injured 1t was
much shattered by the fall; but the boy jumped
up, and after he had somewhat recovered from his
fright, started off home with the horse. 1t was
piece OF ground and lofty tumbling of the most
hazardous kind; and that it did not prove falal TO
the actors, was the wonder of all who witnessed 1t.
The horse and cart were the property of Mr. w. J.
LYMAN.

The Lynchburg Express and Ourselves.
The Express makes itself very merry over
the gifts which our kind friends have made us.
1t says that the editor of the Express has, him.
SELF received a smoking cap, and one razor,
mot twoJ from some of the very liberal Cit.
zens of that very liberal town, known on the
map as Lynchburg. Pray, neighbor do tell
us what sort of razor was it that they gave
you. Now, no back out! Come out, like a
man, and tell us the manner of razor it was.-
There Is one description here, in many of our
stores, that sells for twenty FIVE cents, and if
anybody will take dozen, they can get them
for two dollars. We hope the very liberal
merchants of the very liberal pwn of Lynch~
burg have not been palming off any of these in
struments upon the editor of the Express.
But the editor of the Express has asmoking
cap. also, though he does not say of what ma
terials. Upon our word, we should like to see
him in it. and if we ever visit Lynchburg, we
shall call on him just about smoking time. A
man of his personal pulchritude" must look,
as the Yankees say, "frst rate" in smoking
cap with gold tassel ON it! We are coming
up to see you, friend Garland, certainly, that is
to say ifyou will promise toput on that sm1-
king cap when we come.
