Lake Superior silver Mines.

The Superintendent Of the Lake Superior
Silver Mining Company. Geo X. Smith, Esq
came down this morning FROM Michipicoten
Island where this new mine. now attracting a
good deal of attention. is being opened and
mining work commenced Mr. S brings down
six barrels o! beautiful specimens of ore, or
rather the native silver itself, fine piece Of
which is now en- our table. The Company
have but recently put on D force Of men to
work this niue. which has been known to
fune for several years as very promising
"suriace show" The property at asst has fal
len into good mems 'rand.s. and the result of
months working with fifteen men, shows

tive aud in the ore, in connection with cop.
per. Ther specimen before us siiowsr bosi
metals, the silver largely predominating, and
as it is the same wesreceived from this mine
three years ago when it was first discovered
we have no doubt as to its being genuine
and rich vein Of silver. The superintendent
comes down for more men and material for
prosecuting the work vigorously, and he
speaks in the highest terms of the "show.' y
He is COW sinking on the vein, and assures us
that il improves rapidly as they 80 down.
This mine is situated about 100 miles above
this place, on the Canadian side of Lake Su.
perior. and is owned by English and Ameri
can capitalists, and we expect now TO have
silver mines. rich as those Of Mexico, opened
on the North shore Of the lake. Silver has
been found in many places on the Moth shore
and we hope men OF enterprise will follow up
these important discoveries and turn the untold
riches OF these mineral veins to account.-Lake

Gen. Lane, Of Oregon.

We learn from the Oregon papers just receiv.
ed that the veteran hero, Gen. Lane, was inau-
gurated as governor of the Territory Of Oregon
on the 9th of May, aud entered upon the dis
charge of his executive duties. But the demo-
Gratis Of Oregon preferred to have his services as
their delegate to Congress; and being always
ready to serve his friends his party, or his
country. the noble old soldier resigned his
commission as governor, and accepted the
nomination for Congress. The election took
place on the 9th of Jnne. The result has not
reached us but, we take it for granted that he
is elected. 1t will be remembered that Gen
Lane was turned out Of the Office Of Governor
of Oregon by the late administration but the
people sent him as their delegate to Congress
General Pierce restored him TO his old position
bu, the people were SO well pleased with his
congressional services, that they determined d
to send him back to Congress, and afford Pres.
ident Pierce chance to give them some other
man for governor Washington Union.

The room where Charlie Died.
BY FLORENCE fERcY.


There seems shadowy presence here,
A gloom as of approaching night,
For one whose smile TO us was dear
Here bowed to deaths remorseless blight.
The youngest Of our household band.
Fair browed and gay, and sunny eyed
Unclasped from ours his little hand,
And in his childish beauty died.
They said he died it seems to me
That, after hours Of pain and strife,
He slept. one even, peacefully,
And awoke 10 everlasting life.
And mirths glad shout and laughter's cheer
May ring through althe house besides.
But quiet sadness reigne,h here
Sinces darling little Charlie died.. -.

Grows faint 10 find its goal unwon,
And shrinks from life's vain. hollow glare,
A. flowers beneath an August sun,

By memory sadly sancti6ed,
And linger in the eloquent gloom
Which hallows it since Charlie died.
And ever as | enter here,
With noiseless steps and low.drawn breath
There seems a sacred presence near.
For here the twilight gate Of death
Once on holy summer nlgnt,
BY anges hands was swung aside, O.
Opening from darkness into light,
When darling little Charlie died.
