The Secretary of the Treasury has deter. :
mined to proceed at once to the executionsof
the act for the establishment of the Assay of.
fee in New York. 1t is settled that under the
act, ingots issued from this Office, shall be re-
ceivable for public dues.
Some interest is felt here and elsewhere in,
regard to the recent accounts Of the discovery
and development Of mines Of copper in Ten
nessee, together with the statement that the
copper ore from these mines, can be trans-
ported to Charleston, by rail roads now in pro-
gress, at the cost of eight dollars ton only
for freight. If all the accounts as to this mat.
ter be true, its importance is very great. Cop-
per is in greater demand in the world nowthan
it ever was, and its price is appreciating, while
that OF gold is depreciating. Yet, notwith.
standing the Lake Superior mines, nothing is
more possible if these accounts be true, that
Charleston will be the great depot Of the cop
per trade.
