Nevada County Lime,

We believe it is not generally known that
in Nevada County, there exists one of the
most extensive, and valuable lime stone
ledges in the state of California. This ledge
is situated on the south side of the South
Yuba, at the Illinois Ferry, six and half
miles from Nevada, and directly on the road
leading from that place to Moore's Flat
This ledge, which was first discovered about
eighteen months since, has recently passed
into the hands of Mr.. Osmar Darst, who is
now prepared to supply any demand that
may be made upon him for lime.
The ledge is about 200 feet thick and stands
out from the surrounding rock in huge bench
es running up to the height Of 800 feet. The
Kiln is situated directly upon the ledge and
in such position that the rock to be burned
is passed directly from the hands Of the quar-
ry-men to the mouth of the kiln.
The most remarkable, and valuable feature
connected with this ledge is the presence of a
vein Of Cement Rock, about fifteen feet in
thickness which runs directly through the
center Of the main ledge, continuing equal
IN height with it as far as it has been explor-
ed. This rock produces a most excellent
water cement. which has been pronounced,
by competent judges superior to anything of
the kind now in use. Both the lime rock
and the cement, are inexhaustible in guam
tlty, and so situated that the lime can be
delivered at the ledge for one quarter less
cost than at any other locality in the state
The prOprlet0rs are now turning out about
l20 tons per month, which is selling in this
place at $3.50 per barrel.
1t is the intention of the proprietor to put
up extensive machinery in the spring for the
purpose of manufacturing cement. The ma
chiuery now contemplated will turn out 200
barrels per day and lime will be produced
sufficient to supply the fullest demand This
cement will be delivered in Sacramento at
$40 per barrel. The entire market for this
State will probably be supplied from this
locality, SO soon as it is sufficiently intro
duced to be generally known. The peculiar
quality of stone for cement is found at no
other locality, SO far as we are aware, on the
Pacific coast.

UNDISCOVERED SILVER MINES.-There has
been considerable discussion in different
papers as to certain silver mines in Califor-
MIA. These were said to be of almost incredi-
BILE richness. They. had been perhaps worked
many years ago, and at later times some few
persons were said to have accidentally stun.
bic upon and examined them. At the pres
sent day, however, their whereabouts have
mot abeeR Isccfssly aaeeftained.- A late
number of the Monterey Sentinel seeks to
throw some light on the subject. Perhaps
some of our restless fortune-hunters may
turn their attention to prospecting rather for
argentiferous than for auriferous ores and
veins. The possession of gold mine is al
ways a doubtful gain. To own a silver mine.
as to own coal mine, is, almost proverbial-
lY, sure wealth. 1t appears that Mr.. Carson
in his description of the Tulare Valley, pub
lished at Stockton in 1852, says he was in
formed by an American gentleman, long res
ident in Mexico, that in the Government ar
chives in that city there exists letter ''from
| a California priest dated at one Of the Missions
in l776, informing the Government that in
the search among the mountains for sites to
found Missions, they had discovered silUer IN
pure masses that weighed several tons;" but
to prevent mischief to their neophytes, the
matter was kept sworn secret. An expedi-
tion is stated to have been fitted out in Mexi-
co, some fifteen years ago, to search for these
Chunks" but the company, some Of them
Americans, never returned. and were doubt
less killed by the wild Indians. The story,
with extensions and ramifcatons, is an old
tradition Of the southern counties OF our
Stvte. The question is where are the
''chunks?" Silver is scarcer than gold in
California. but it is just as useful and neces-
sary a friend as the former. Certain it is,
says the Sentinel. that in Monterey, San
Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, ar
| gentiferous ores and veins have been found,
though never worked to any extent.

GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE.-It is said that a
canal will be dug to connect the Mediterra-
mean with the Dead Sea- thus turning the wat
ers of the Mediterranean into ancient Judea.
The waters would rush in with fall of 300
feet, fill up the valley, and substitute an
ocean of 1000 square miles in extent for a
barren, useless desert thus making the navi-
gatlon to India as short as the overland
route; spreading fertility over now arid
country, and opening up the fertile regions
OF Palestine to settlement and cultivation

The Harm nfNn1nre

1t is sweet to listen to the patter of rain
drops on the roof in the evening. OH how
forcibly it reminds one of their Youthful days
and of happy hours that have foated far
down the stream of time. It is pleasant in
the evening to listen to the sighing of the
breeze that comes from the north and stops
awhile to daily with the evergreen twigs of
the pine. This signing is the language of
the breeze. It is telling from whence it came
and of what it hath seeu. 1t speaks of the
region of "eternal snow" where Nature is
ever dressed in her shroud of srotless white
and of the sunny fowery dells and shady
groves, where the modest eglantine spreads
petals, and bubbling brooks murmer of peace
and happiness. 1t is also sweet to listen to
cold oceans roar" It is telling what it
. hath seen-of the many shipwrecks of the
coral groves that are hidden many fathoms
below; of all the magnificent beauty and
grandeur of the inner temple Of this world
Of waters. These are the ways in which Ma
ture speaks to the ear.
1t IS pleasing in a moon-lit summers night.

and in the secluded nook sit down on seat

way Nature speaks to the heart.

sixty-two through tickets were purchased by

A SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.--The Charles

Southern confederacy. It says: "Cotton

No provision seems to be made. no thought
had, for Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and
other slave States which do not produce that
staple eff cotton is king" what will be-
come of these States? 1t is likely they would
take to manufacturing, and in that event the
Mercury's notions of free trade with England
would not take so we'll. But we apprehend
that the single bond of Slavery would not

Spectator.
The Spectator is right. The dissolying
process once commenced, who can tell where
1t will stop In all probability. there would
be at least three if not more confederacies
formed out of the debris of the present I'm
ion. Georgia and South Carolina would
contend for the supremacy as commercial
States-as also would Alabama and Louisi-
ana. Savanna would be pitted against
Charleston, and Mobile against New Orleans
st. Louis, (which now derives the larger por-
tion of her great trade from Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesotassand Wis consin, would be reduced
to the condition of Natchez or Vieksburg and
Baltimore, which has been materially enrich
ed by the trade of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and
Ohio, would be comparatively impoverished
by the transfer of her capital to Philadel-
