SILVER OHE.

Mr.. VIM. Epperson has placed in our pos
sessions severcl specimens Of SILVER ore, which
have recently been discovered IL la'99o guam
titles on his land, on the waters of Arrara.- IN
Patrick county, Va.
We do not profess to he judge Of silrer
in the shape in which this was presented to
US. but we should supFusr from It's app--. -...s,
that the ore is of fne quality. and We under
stand that mineralogist of reputation, in
this section, has pronounced the ore to be rich
and the veins to be very extensive, and well
worth working If the opinion expressed by
the gentleman above alluded to. be correct
(and all have great confidence in his judgment
on such subjects.) the county of Patrick has
within its boundaries source OF wealth hith-
erto unknown, and of the greatest value and
one which will bring to it an amount of reve-
nue. and profit beyond calculation.
We hope that further and more through in
vestigations Of the matter will be made, and
that the first impressions of those who have
only made casual examinations. will be more
than confirmed - LYoyd county Gazette.

We have been told, ever since Cen. Pierce

to recognize the sincerity Of any sucb---preten-

Gratis have chosen, nevertheless. to trust thei
old enemies, aud along with the Adm;nistrs-
ton. to take them by the hand. in preference
to those Of their Northern brethren, who have
hitherto proved true.
The test is now about to be applied to those
rcpentant and Treasury fed Freesoilers, and
the public win soon have an opportunity Of
judging to what extent they will stand the
test. If it is the purpose Of the Administra-
ton to stand by the Nebraska bill, the spoils
will be relied upon as potent influence 10
buying up their acquiescence. But, the indi
cations thus far are not very aat.ering to the
entertainment Of that hope. Boiling propen.
sites are being shown already on the part Of
Democratic Frcesoll leaders, who have been
endorsed as sincere converts Those gentry

they did not come into measures "the hand OF
resurrection cannot dig them from their

there is much trouble in r:ore for the Admin.

ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.

About ono o'clock on Saturday morning
last, an attempt was made to break into the
store of J. w, Boyd, in this place. A hole
was made Immediately under the bar which
crosses and fastens the door on the inside,
and large wire inserted, by which the bar
was nearly raised from its place. The key
of the lock was thrown out. The operators
were heard by the Clerk who slept in the
couning-room, who Immediately got up, went
to the door, and on opening it, two men were
seen to cross the street.-they were not rec
ognized.
