COPPER IN MEcKLENBuRe COUNTY. The opn-
ion that the mines in this County, which have here
tofore been productive of gold, is already begin

a mine in this county which has been profiiably

3 LANDING or THE VIcs PRESIDENT YESTERDAY
morning. at IL o'clock, the steamer Junior, Captain
Armstrong, brought up Vice President King and his
accompanying relatives from the steamer Fulton,
which remains at her anchorage Dog River Bar.
They were landed on Government street wharf, where
an immense assemblage of clizens had gathered to
witness the debaikaiion. Col. King came forward
supported by two of the officers of the Fulton, and
was conducted 10 carriage provided for the purpose.
He appeared be extremely feeble and aienuated,
though he bore his head erect. and his eyes glanced
AROUND seemingly with sad, though pleased inter-
est, to find himself the soil OF his beloved Ala
bama-the Land of Rest.
There was profound sensation in the large crowd
present, they gazed upon the form of ie venerable
statesman and patriot, thus enfeebed by the heavy

REMARKABLE MOVEMENT AMONGST THE Jews. A
remarkable change, it is said, is in progress among
the Jews in almost every country. Rabbinism,
(which has enclaved the minds Of the people for SO
many ages, is rapidly losing its influence. Multi
tudes throwing aside the Mishna and the Talmud
and betaking themselves to the study OF Moses and
the Prophets. Among the Jews in London there is,
the present time, great demand for copies Of the
Old Testament. The subject of their restoration To-
Palestine and the nature OF the promises which
the expectation is founded. extensively engaging
their attention. In examining into these matters,
they have obtained considerable assistance from a
continental Rabbi who has lately arrived among
them, and exhibited a manuscript, in which he has
endeavoured 10 prove from Scripture that the time
has come when the Jews must Set about making
preparations for returning to the land of their fathers
The said manuscript has been printed in Hebrew and
English. and society has been formed to further the
I fmoye yement proposed by the lea fned Rabbi.

which we lay before our readers as matter of
public interest:
Colonel Hughes, in the prosecution of his i'm
porant duties, starts tomorrow for Berlin and Vien

sdustry of all Nations in New York was singulary
fortunate in securing such services as he is SO efic
sently and judiciously performing. Unaided by the
LEGATION of the United States at this metropolis,
through which he ought TO have been PROMPTLY and
formally presented, he obtained through other chan.
nels private audience at the Court OF the uieries
where, 20 my knowledge, he made most favorable;
impression upon Louis Napoleon, not only as conf
scerned himself but also in behalf of the great OBJ
iect of his mission-his bearing being that of a.
democrat, adorned by the elegant
simplicity of department characteristic of the Ameri-
can gentleman. Maryland-indeed, the Union-hass

The articles which are 10 be forwarded to the5

Our ingenious and enterprising countrymen will J.
