Out of this little episode we may, not unnat-
urally. expect an interesting action for libel be-
tween the editors Of the two Wall street blan-
kets and we suppose that, according to the ju-
dicial rule in the Forrest divorce case, nothing
in the slightest degree pertinent to the matter
at issue will be excluded from the evidence.
We have stirring and deeply interesting
time ahead Nothing that ever transpired in
this metropolis produced one-tenth the sensa-
ton that will attach to these legal investiga-
tions-the number of which cannot yet be esti-
mated with anything like accuracy. The judg-
meat. and sentences of fine and Imprisonment,
recently pronounced against the two Boards,
for contempt Of court, is to be brought up to-
wards the end of the month for argument be-
fore the Court Of Appeals in Albany the in
dictments already preferred against two of the
Aldermen will be heard before the Criminal
Courts the Recorder has further Investigations
to make, in compliance with the requisition of
the Grand Jury; and the great libel cause Of
Butler versus Webb. is to come to supply still
more piquancy to the aldermanic persecution.
1t is almost unnecessary for us to promise to
our readers full reports of all these highly in
teresting matters. Alas, for the decay of civic

ever see these heroes leading mob to rescue

minds US of the speech made by the venerable
Jacob Ten Eyck, when solicited to take stock in
the Utica and Schenectady Railroad The speech
was made at meeting Of the friends of the road
in this city, where the value and speed Of rail-
roads were discussed freely. Mr.. Ten Eyck
was a great stickler for stage coaches, buckskIn

notions. On being called on for few remarks
he said, 'he saw what would be the effect of ii;

GOLD MINING.

whch gold miners haye to contend with, is the din
lenIy OF separating the gold from the pulvefzed

iron IN the composition. ..I-sI .r ..t- rf
The testimony Of all niners in California and Aus
Iaa, shows that large quantities Of black iron sand
exist in various localities Of the GOLDEN regions but
that the tedious and expensive nature Of the process of
separating II hor3 tile gold, has hitherto prevented the
prosecution OF that enterprise 10 any great exten--
The black sand, containing frequently, two dollars
worth ol gOd in one pound Of sand lies, th reof0
unistuIbed. Wherever gold is found in the surface
washngs, there also, some portion Of this black iron
sand is inleTmixed, and IN washing the sand away by
the common process large portion Of the gold is also
washed away and lost
These facts have aroused the inventive genius Of The
age, and apparatus of various descriptions have been
CONSTRUCTED With view 10 the accomplishment of the
desired purpose But for want ofproctiea experience
and familiar knowledge Of the nature OF quicksilver
they have all failed. The heavy sand has secumuated
lon The surface Of the quicksilver and prevented the
gold from coming in contact APT uniting in smslgam:
or the quicksilver has been broken into gobues and
carried off with the sand
