METROPOLITAN RAILROAD.

Messrs EDIroas 1t deeply concerns this city that the

consequent risk of annung that paper coggng the

Rockville Journal who equyaently charged the director

fitness for the Office but also disposition on his part to
disregard the sacred oath which installed him director
With that director FRANCIS CHOPPER Esq, have had
the satisfaction Of long and agreeable acquaintance and
accordingly bear willing testimony to the many esmable
qualities that adorn his character. As citizen his pride

MINERAL EXCITEMENT IN WHITFTELD.-Some
weeks ago, says the Dalton (Ga) Times, an exca-
walton in the earth was discovered on the lands of
Mr.. Gassaway living about six miles from Dali
ton, which from the pains that had evidently been
taken by some one TO conceal it. and the ''top ap-
pearance" of the land, gave its owner reason to
hidden under the hill The front of the cave was
with considerable difficulty cleared away, and
they had proceeded but few feet in the tunnel
when the operators found their progress impeded
by stone wall, carefully bailt across it from one
side to the other This wall they have removed
and 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 induce
ment Tor any person TO have taken the trouble to
cut tunnel of such length as this seems to be-
than prospect of abundant rich minerals to re-
pay them. About fifty feet OF this tunnel has
been cleared away, and we are informed that ali
along there are good indications of silver and con-
per.
Another thing which tends to strengthen the
belief that there is abundance of silver, there
is the report OF a gentleman who returned from
the Cherokee Nation some years ago. He says
he was informed by very intelligent Indian W no
formerly resided near Dalton, that there was a
silver mine of immense wealth lying about thir-
teen miles from the mouth of Oostanauly Creek
in due westerly direction; that it had been work
ed that the mouth OF the tunnel might be dscov-
cred carefully concealed in the root Of large oak
This place fills the descri ption precisely, and must
be the identical spot alluded to by the Indian.

4 Burning W ell.

The Bloomington (Ill.) Paragraph gives the fol-
lowing description of a vein of gas struck while
digging well in that vicinity short time since:
Mr.. Robinson of this place. in digging well
a week or two since on his lot, not far from the
depot of the Central Illinois Railroad, struck a
current of gas at the depth Of some twenty feet,
which rushed up with such force as to shake the
ground around the well, and cause a noise like
the boiling of an immense caIildron. To test the
character of the gas, match was applied to the
mouth of the well, when it Immediately took ire
and burned very brskly, until, in order to extin-
gush it, the mouth of the well was covered
Mr.. Robinson went to work Immediately to wall
up the well, and with much difficulty, in conse-
quence of the impossibity of breathing the vapor
for any length OF time has at length succeeded in
securing the sides of the shaft from caving in
Last night we were invited to see it in combus-
ton. Mr.. Robinson had closed the mouth of the
well with plank inserting H. the centre sheet iron
tube OF about twelve inches in diameter and six
or eight feet high, around which he had embaDk-
ed three OF four feet of earth, thus pTecludRg the
escape OF any gas from the well, except through
the pipe.
When we arrived on the ground we found the
well surrounded by large company OF ladies and
gentlemen, who had been attracted to the spot to
witness the curious spectacle. The flame was
already mounting up some len feet from the
lNOulII OF Gte tuDe, ana Illuminating the coGIten-
ances of the admiring multitude for several rods
around. It burned with beautiful blue tint just
where it leaped from the pipe; but as it ascended
and expanded, it became bright and clear. How
long the supply of gas may continue is, of course,
to be ascertained by experiment Should it hold
out as we saw it last night, it will be something
more than curiosity. Mr.. Robinson we UNDER
stand, intends to conduct it TO the steam grst mill
in the vicinity, and test its capacity as an agent
for oanaratiDtr ctnapo CbpulI +ha Stlrr,l1r III
minish, it may in a few months be put to more
brilliant uses.
4 scientific gentlemen VIII be here to-day, as
we learn, to examine it, when perhaps we may
be able to give some plausible conjecture to its
character and source.
