JAMESTOWN MTNss.-We have heretofore re-
ferred to the fact, that agents Of the New York
Mining Company have been for some time en-
gagged in erecting steam works near the SiDsin-
ava Mound. for the purpose of draining valua-
bic Lead Mines existing there. The ground on
which they are at work is known as the "James-
town Diggings," and we hope to be able to give
a full description of it hereafter. A principal
characteristic is, that there exists number OF
open and extensive caverns-how extensive is
not known, as the water which partially filed
them has prevented q full exploration. In these
caverns the mineral is known to exist, protect
ed from the meddlesOme intrusion of the miner
for the same cause. The company have been
engaged for some weeks with their engine and
pumping apparatus, in removing this water,
that these caverns may be made to disclose to
man their vast hidden wealth. Last Monday
evening. they had so overcome the force of the
insinuating element, that they commenced sink
ing rapidly in their main shaft, when they came
upon mineral, specimens of which we have in
our office. The largest piece we judge, will
weigh about three hundred pounds. II this be
the " float" what will the main body be- The
mineral is of the most promising =" quality for
large body of any that we have known for a
long time and if they have not stacks of it close
by the ears, we are much mistaken. This shaft
is about one hundred yards ahead, on the same
crevice, of a shaft sunk several years ago, in
the sinking of which fifty thousand of ore was
raised, when the water rose and drove the mi
ners out. The company were to attach anoth-
er pump to their engine yesterday, and in few
days further developments may be expected
We are glad to notice the indications, that the
enterprising gentlemen who have this matter IN
charge have SO fine prospect OF triumphant
success.-Gal. lido.
ARRIVAL OF JOHN MIrcBEIL.-Thomas Fran
els Meagher yesterday morning received a let

family would leave for New York by the steam

distinguished Irishman may be expected here
