QuARrz.--The Beattie drifting claim, says
the Placerville american, one and three
fourths of mile west Of north from George
town, is not only one of the most singular
and unusual quartz claims in the country,
but also one of the best paying. 1t consists
of small horizonton layers, or veins ofquartz,
about one and halt inches thich, and about
two feet on an average, apart, all Of them
having n north east pitch, and apparently
converging to q focal centre. The pay from
the claim comes, in the main, out Of these
veins. They have the appearance Of being
burnt or partially decomposed quartz. 1t is
the only one of the kind which, as yet, has
been discovered in this part of the country
The claim was pre- empted and opened in
1854, by the present owners, Messrs David
and George Beattie, William Hughes and
John Y. Thurston From the time Of their
opening it, up to last May, the claim yield
ed an average of thirty ounces of gold per
week, and since then, its yield has increased
from thirty to fifty ounces per week and con-
tinues to pay at the same rate. 1t is one of
the most remarkable and richest paying
quartz clasms in the country. the yield from
which is gradually increasing. and the indi.
cations are such as to lead to the opinion
that it will prove to be inexhaustible

the day. While all the others we're in cheerful
spirits, il observed in the forenoon that MissM

this to her companions that it was made the subject
OF remark, when she said her mind was unaccount-
ably impressed with the fear that signal calamity
had overtaken some member of her family. Early in
the afternoon, the news of the death of Gov Marcy
reached Troy and it was known to gentlemen com
posing the party in which Miss NJ was, some time
before it was communicated to her. While the gen.

in which the writer states that the crops
Of southern Indiana and Illinois are be-

like it. They are now harvesting, and
the rust has done no damage. Corn il

Power Of q Single Word.

was told to-day story SO touching in
reference to this, that you must let me tell
it. A mother, on the green hills Of Yer.
mont, held by the right hand son Of six
teen years old, mad with love of the sea.
And as she stood by the garden gate on a
sunny morning, she said {: "Edward, they
tell me-for l never saw the ocean-that
the great temptation Of the seamen's life,
is, drink Promise me, before you quit
your mothers hand, that you will neeer
drink" And, said he (for he told me
tie story,) gave her the promise and l
went the broad globe over-Calcutta, the
Mediterranean, San Francisco, the Cape of
Good Hope,th North Pole, and the South
Il saw all of them in forty years, and l
never saw glass filed with sparkling H.
quor that my mothers form by the garden
gate, on the green hill side of Vermont,
did not rise before me; and to-day, ,at sixty,
my lips are innocent of the taste of liquor.
iApplause.) Was not that sweet evidence
of the power Of single word !? Yet that
was but half. For, said he, yesterday
there came into my counting room,a young
man of forty, and asked me, ado you
know me ?" "No." "Well, 1 was once
brought drunk into your presence on ship
board; you were passenger; the captain
kicked me aside, you took me to your
berth, and kept me till I had slept off the
iutoxication then you asked me if l had
mother; said 1 never knew q word
from her lips. You told me of yours at
the garden gate and to-day am the mas
ter of one Of the finest packets in New
York, and 1 come to ask you to call and
see me-" How far that little candle throws
its beams! Oh, God be thanked for the
almighty power Of single word !-Wen-
