we gave yesterday what writer in the New
York Tribune said of the gold mines in. Vir-
glnia, and to-day condense his statement Of the |
Worth and South Carolina mines The McCuI- |
ock mine, in Guilford county, n. c., has been |
worked for about twenty seven years, yielding |
70 It's owners 9 handsome fortune Last year
| 'hey sent to the mint S31 ,SO4 10 in gold, the
whole expense Of which, for digging, ETC., was
oniy S3,130 Is, leaving net profit Of s2a ,573
81 The mine also yields abundance Of copper
ore, avera ng 2sper cent Of metal The mines
u Gom HHl, i've in number, have been worked
= long time, and have produced about SO, ,OOO,-
IVY. AZ these mines, which have been 1ately
Consolidated, there is a village Of 800 inhabi-
Itants, all connected with or dependent upop
hem Another company, called the ssTelo.
'old Hill Company" has been formed to work
lyer the tailings, or refuse ore, which is said
70 amount to nearly three millions Of bushels
south Carolina has long possessed many gold
mines, but until within two years none Of any
note. 1t can nov boast of including within iss
limits the richest gold mine on the surface of the
globe Mr.. W. b. Dvrn, the owner, dicoversd
che great vein in February, 1852, having pre-
giously gathered but few thousand dollars
During the year ending last February, with ten
hands. and at an expense Of 1920 he secured
$4,000. In the month Of July last the vein
vas IA feet wide. Up to that period, from an
excavation little over 800 feet long, IL feet
nigh and Is broad. $500 600 had been taken.
1t is no uncommon thing, upon making blast,
to open upon a nest of pieces Of the pure metal,
some of them weighing 60 pennyweights, (worth
about S6O-) The vein has since been struck in
another place, about $50 yards from the open
ing, and yields finely. Mr.. Dorm has now two
Chilian mills in operation, and Is realizing
$1,000 per day. Specimens of the gold from
this mine are on exhibition at the Worlds Fair
/ NV York Company, bearing the title Of
ne Dorm Mining Company, have leased por-
tlon OF Mr.. Dorn's tract, their lines running
| within three hundred yards Of his shaft, and
the course OF his vein crossing their land. On
exploring this property during the present sum-
mer, a vein was struck eight feet below the
| surface, some Of the ore from which was worth
$500 per bushel. This vein has been traced
some distance. They expect soon to be able to
| extract $4,000 per day. Another vein has re-
Gently been struck, the ore from which strongly
| resembles Mr.. Dorn's, and is very rich. [Balti-

EUROPEAN PROTESTS AGAINST CAPT. IsGRA-
| HAMS COURSE AT SMYRNA.-We have already
mentioned rumor that the Russian, Prussian
and Austrian Ministers had filed in the State
| Department n protest against the conduct Of
Captain Ingraham at Smyrna. The National
| lntellgencer of yesterday states that story is
current in Washington that the Ministers Of
England and France have also expressed to our
Government, concurrentiy with those of the
three other Powers, the dissent, protest, or
| whatever it was, of their respective Govern
ments relative to the Costa affair. We can
hardly believe that this latter rumor can be
true In reference to the reported Forthcoming
letter of Secretary Marcy, on this subject, the
Intelligencer remarks. ,s s.oaa q.alis 31s4a
