rs much has been said of the richness of the
Dorm Gold Mine of South Carolina. the N. Y.
Tribune annexes the substance Of o letter de.
scribipg that famous location, written by ]. J.
Field, the cashier Of Mr.. Dorm, the owner Of
the mine. He says:
The Dorm Mine is sitnated in The lower edge
Of Abbeyille District, South Carolina. 1t was
discovered on the his hest hill in the neigbbor-
hood, six miles east of the Savannah River
The course the vein runs is west IL deg. south,
and was discovered one. y ear and two DAYS ago
At the surface its width is not more than eigh-
teen inches. 1t continues to wided gradually
in going down, and at ten feet below water
level, in cutting across he finds its width to be
fourteen feet. Do not understand me to say
that all the ore in this vein is of the richest
quality. The vein seems to- be composed of
streaks or strip pes of the rich ore. Beginning
on the south side of the vein, he finds a streak
about six or eight inches wide, that gives ore.
that will average $50 per bushel, though YOU
could select ore from this streak that would
make $4,000 per bushel. There comes in a
streak of poor ore about eighteen inches wide,
that will average IS per bushel There comes
another one Of the rich streaks, and so for the
width Of fourteen feet. He has run tunnel
lengthwise on the vein in west direction forty
feet, and finds the ore fully as rich at the end of
the tunnel as at any ether part; and at the dis.
tance of three hundred feet on the east of the
vein, from, the shaft they are now working he
has found the vein that has every appearance
to be as good at that point as the place he has
been working for the last twelve months Thus,
you see, Mr.. Dorm has this enormous mass of
gold ore now tested, in length $40 feet, to take
the most unfavorable view of it that you posi-
bly, could say that it is now at its largest
point, and commences sloping out, it cannot
shut ont short of making S5,000,000 or Sc.
100000. All the gold veins that have any
knowledge of, except this one, decrease in quail
ity as well as in quantity in going down on
them. The whole distance gone down on this
vein is forty feet from the surface, and ten feet
below water level.
The amount OF gold made at this mine, one
year from the discovery of its being so extra.
ordinarily rich, is S2O2,2l6.o9. When he gets
his steam mill up, which he now has on the
way, he will then be able to work four hundred
bushels of the ore per day say one hundred
bushels Of rich ore aud three hundred of the
poor ore will make from $7,OoO to $4,000
per day.
Mr. Dorm has run his mill two days on the
ore from the new discovery on the east end Of
the vein, and the amount made is twentyone
hundred and twenty -four pennyweights in the
quick. He is only five feet deep at this place.

ny. DR.. IT. saw no females. and on inquiry
was informed that they were all at Nanking.
He saw tables placed with various kinds of
food, us offerings to the Supreme Being; among
| which were three bowls Of tea, for each person
son of The Trinity.
In reply to frequent inquiries as to when
and in what direction they would mex! move,
Dr.. Il. was informed they could not tell them.
selves, but must wait for Instructions from their
Heavenly Father. He heard T'hae png-wang
frequently mentioned, but no alusion made to
Theen.tih.
DR.. II. was struck with the calm and earnest
enthusiasm that rervaded the entire body, and
the perfect confidence evinccd il the justice of
their cause and in its final success When he
asked the chiefs when they. proposed to come
towards Shanghai, they replied that whenever
they received an nti,nation from the Heavenly
Father; as they never moved in any quarter
without such directions.
The insurgents abound in fresh provisions,
which are brought in clandcs'inely by the in
habitants of the surrounding country.
We are told that DR.. Il. had with him sup
ply Of medicines, from which lie administered
to the diseases of many insurgents, who applied
to him, and performed surgical operation on
the eve of one of them.
The Imperial fleet came up and attacked the
city during our. friends visit, and he witnessed
the engagement from the top of the ramparts.
At the commencement of the attack he heard
a cannon ball whstling through the air some
distance above his head and strike in the earth
beyond him. He could not ascertain that the
insurgents suffered the least injury from the
cannonade of the imperial.sts, nor could he dis
cover what amount Of execution was done to
the assailants.
The Impcrialist land forces were encamped
on the hill in the vicinity Of Chin keang-inst
without range OF cannon shot from the cit;. As
they did not seem at al! disposed to second
the attack of the fleet, we presume they
thought it most prudent to keep at that safe
distance.
We have given the above facts as they have
been rarrated to various individuals in this com.
r,unity, bat we regret that we are prevented
from giving Dr.. Tay lor's narrative from his own
pen, together with the translation of friendly
letter sent by Lo to the foreign residents at
Shanghai, as the public must be great losers
fromthus getting the subject second handed and
liable to many omissions, besides the greater
interest attached to receiving the original &C.
count Of an eyewitness, in the authors own
graphic style, fully impressed with the vividness
of the facts as they were presented to his own
eye, and calling up many reflections that are
now quite lost to U.s.

TIE TREASURY SURPLUS. 1t is not a little
remarkable that the financial problem which
Congress will shorty be called upon to solve
should be to relieve the treasury of Il plethora.
The converse is very generally the proposition
which perplcxcs the sagacily of statesmen and
legislators in Europe. How to make good a
deficiency, and not how to relieve Of surplus,
is the financial puzzle of modern craftsmanship.
Twice, however, within twenty years has the
Government of the United States been called
on to di>burhrn the treasury of superlluous
revenue. 10 distribute the supertlux, us before
between the States, seems not to find favor, and
involves, rs princi pie, some serious objections.
There is, course, a sure method of dispoSing
of the largest imaginable surplus by applying
it to internal improvements. liut here Con.

al question. There is great doubt whether a
majority can be obtained for the most pressing.
" important of all these mprovemcnts-the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
The Secretary of the Treasury within the
limits Of his authority, is doing all he can to
relieve the Treasury by buying up the stocks
of the United States; but they are held at enor-
nous premiums. The very design of the Trea-
sury to purchase, operates to enhance their
market value. Under such circumstances, we
like the scheme recently suggested in the Ma
tional Intelisencer, converting the Govern
mcnt into lender, instead Of rs ordinarily, Il
borrower. The project is this: ''To authorize
the Treasury Department to advance, i'll the
way of loan, the par value of any United States
Stock on pledge of it as security, at low
rate of interest, say four, or even at three per
cent per annum." The author of this scheme
concludes 'rhat the Treasury would, i'll this
mode, retain the command Of the amount thus
loaned in case of any contingency in our for
cign relations which might require IN extra
amount of funds. or could employ it in buying
np the stock on much more favorable terms
than at present, should anything occur to re-
duce the value of it in the market at or near
the par value"
The great advantage of this plan must be
that it would keep smaller amount of specie.

sent, in the form Of public revenue. So long
