I.innefnotion of Quartz.

The San Joaquin Republican has received a
letter from Professor Hardinge of New York,
of quartz liquefaction notoriety, in answer to
inquiries which that journal had addressed to
him on the subject of introducing his process
into California. The Professors letter is dated
New York, May A. He says:
With reference TO my plan for the introduc-
tion of this discovery into California. it is sim
pliied and easy, and calculated to come within
the reach of every quartz miner. Avoiding
any great offer from any one person for my
patent, my plan is to do the greatest good to
the greatest number l shall encourage the
organization of small companies each one to
have the full enjoyment of all my patents in
but one locality, giving them my supervision
by sending an expert foreman and machinist
to keep every set of works in perfect operation,
that my reputation and that of my business be
protected. | shall furnish drawings (already
engraved) for working drawings, &c, for each
full set of works. My charge for all of this will
be $1,000 one-half to be paid when sign the
papers, and the other half when the purchasers
shall find the works in perfect and profitable
working order, which they will be both able
and willing to do.
A business which will be spread out amoung
the mountain sides, and in many different direc-
tions, require the industrial attention of proper
persons possessing familiar knowledge of my
plans, &C., to see that every set of works are in
order, and the miners initiated in their new but
only way of saving their gold.

MANUFACTURE OF GOLD CON.-In alloying and

an alloy is used which consists Of silver and
copper, and is in the proportion of one tenth of
the entire mass. namely In given weight of
1000 ounces Of gold and alloy, 900 are pure gold,
and 100 alloy-of which alloy one tenth part is
silver, and nine tenths copper These standard
ingots are then assaycd, to determine their col
rectness and are next subjected to the anneal-
ing process, that is, tempering them by heat, SO
as to harden them. The ingots, thus annealed,
are rolled out and cut into different sizes, ac-
cording to the denomination Of coin wanted
These pieces, called "planchets," are first clean
ed, and then put into the hands Of the adjusters
who weigh each piece separately. Those which
are too heavy are filed down to the proper
weight; and such as are too light, being reject
ed, have to be re-melted, The pieces thus ad-
justed, are passed to the coning-room to be
"milled,' which consists in forming the rims.
The pieces having been milled, are put into a
tube connected with the press, the movements
of which. regulated by steam power, force the
pieces into the proper position for receiving the
impressions on both the upper and lower sides,

A writer in the Augusta Chronicle and SEN
tinal gives the following account of a volcano
that has recently made its appearance in Pigeon
Mountain, some ten miles distant from the town
of Lafayette, in Walker county.
Since October, 1856, the mountain has been
occasionally attended with hollow, roaring
sounds, resembling distant thunder, frequently
accompanied with dull explosions This was
not very closely confined to any particular
place, but seemed nearly equal for about a mile,
extending each way from where the crater Of a
volcano has since made its appearance.
This roaring sound continued, occasionally
dying away aud reviving again, until the 18th of
the present month, when (after an abatement
so long that it was believed to have entirely
subsided) it became suddenly and unusually
bOisterons, and was attended for the first time
by slight shaking of the Garth. After this
date il was comparatively tranquil until about
midnight on the oath, when the earth was vio-
lcntly agitated several times.
The citizens in the vicinity were aroused and
terribly frightened by the cOmmotioD. When
observing the mountain they were more than
ever terrified, for brilliant light was plainly
seen issuing from the summit. The atmosphere
soon became strongly impregnated with disa-
grecablc sulphuric odor. On the following day
a thick torrent of smoke and ashes ascended
from where this light was previously seen. The
smoke was not visible at night. This was per-
haps owing to the elements being covered at the
time with very dark cloud. No blaze has yet
been seen to issue from the crater. 1t has con-
tnued about as above described ever since, emit
ing smoke and ashes without intermiss,on. The
crater is thought to be about one hundred
yards in diameter No one has yet ventured
near enough to ascertain anything Of its genel-
al depth.
Several springs in the vicinity have totally
disappeared. Many of the citizens are very
much alarmed and some are even moving out
oe the valley, through anticipation and fear of
a violent eruption.

FAsHIoN.-Mr Roebuck the distinguished
member of the British House of Commons, re-
marked recently. in a speech at Liverpool, that
England had produced only two great soldiers
from the time Of Queen Anne to that Of Queen
Victoria-M Marlborough and Wellington while
the navy during the same century and half
had produced several great admirals; and he
accounted for this by stating that until recent
ly the navy was not fashionable profession.
