ExcITEMENT.-Some weeks ago, saws the
Dalton Ga. Times, an excavation in the earth
was discovered on the lands of Mr.. Gassawav.
living about six miles from Dalton, which from
the pains thathad evidently been taken by some
one to conceal it, and the "top appearance" of
the land, gave Its owner reason to believe that
the tunnel led to mineral treasures, hidden un-
der the hill. The front of the cave was, with
considerable difficulty cleared away, and thew
had proceeded but a few feet in the tunnel, when
the operators found their progress impeded bv
a stone wall, carefully built across it from one
side to the other. This wall they have removed
and are now proceeding farther in the tunnel
There seems to be no doubt but that it was cut
many years ago, and we know of no other in
ducement for any person to have taken the
trouble to cut a tunnel Of such a length as this
seems to be, than a prospect of abundant rich
minerals to repay them. About fifty feet of
this tunnel has been cleared away, and we are
informed that all along there are good indica-
tons Of silver and copper.
Another thing which tends to strengthen the
belief that there is an abundance Of silverthere
is a report of a gentleman who returned from
the Cherokee nation some years ago. He saws
ne was informed BY a very intelligent Indian
who formerly resided near Dalton, that there
was a silver mine of immense wealth lying
about thirteen miles from the mouth Of COSTA
nauly creek, IN a due westerly direction, that it
had been worked, that the mouth Of the tunnel
might be discovered carefully concealed in the
root OF a large oak. This place fills the de-
scription precisely andomust be the Identical
spot alluded to BY the Indian.
The Missouri river is reported to be rising.

The United States Economist is inclined to
think that there is a disposition to greatly ex-
aggerate the loss by the failure of the crops.
and to promote an unnecessary and hurtful
alarm. The damage done, it says, may cause
a dlminution of the quantity that can be ex-
ported, and may sustain prices for the year far
above the level they usually range, after a wear
OF high prices like the last, but that is the
worst consequences to be expected. 1t is very
evident from the great general interest excited,
and the vast consequences which depend in a
commercial and financial point of view upon
the actual products of the soil, that the most
important service which government could do
all branches Of industry, would be to institute
an independent bureau, by which accurate and
reliable returns should be Omade annually, of
the breadth of land and agreeable yield of all
crops. All the great interests in the country,
railroad, shipping, importing, manufacturing,
and all small trades and traffic, are dependent
principally upon the agriculture of the coun-
try, and 1t is to the last degree important that
full information upon that subject should be
attainable. The population of the country is
constantly increasing, and with that increase
the proportion of food buyers to the whole
mass, IS lncreaslng; as a consequence with
shortened h~arvests, the proportions of their
earnings that must be appropriated to food, in
c%reases, involving lessened consumption of all
other comforts and necessaries, IT. follows
that there is less demand for these things, and
diminished profits to those who manufacture
them. Every possible branch of industry is
affected by the food question, and there is no
possible application Of government action that
would confer such universal benefit as informa-
ton upon that subject Of such vital Importance
to all.

Even the democratic prints are becoming dis
contented with the manner in which the mails
are managed. The Natchitoches Chronicle
says, we had really hoped that the inconyen-
fences to which our section has heretofore been
subjected, would, after t&e remonstrances ofthe
whole press of northern Louisiana, have been
2remedied, and that some plan would have been
adopted by the postoffce department, to secure
regular mail communication, during the low
water season. But those hopes have been sad
lyodisappointed, and we find ourselves now en-
joying the rare felicity Of rcceiving a mail from
New Orleans after an interval of three weeks.
We have complained of the neglect exhibited
by the department., on this subject until we are
tired, and for the future shall waste no more
time in condemning the objectionable careless
ness and gross negligence of the United States
postmaster general and his Washington assis-
tants.
why does not the Chronicle call the atten-
ton of the democratic delegation from Louis
lana in congress to this business? They ought
to attend to it.

The Kentucky papers state that stock Of eve
~ kind is declining in the west. AT the Lex
inston stock market, on the last regular court
day, no excitement or interest whatever was
manifested. The only sale Of any consequence
was that of eighty-nine mules at $85 is each.
The animals were in fine and proper condition
for shipment to the south. 1t has been MANY
years since mules ruled at SO low a figure. A
letter from Bafddstown says that no hogs will be
fed in that portion Of Kentucky this year for
market. There is nc grainto spare.
