IncAL INTELLIGENCE.


CoMPLETED.-Th quartz mill of Messrs. Van
Pelt, Craig, Soggs aud others, on American
Hill, has been completed, and the work "f crush
ing commenced last Thursday, and the mill has
been running constantly since. Quite number
of our citizens went over to see the mill start, and
it is needless to say that they were Hospitality
entertained ly the gentlemaIlly proprietOrs.
Wit, sentiment, and champaign flowed in great
prOfusion until late hour in the afternoon.
The mill has been built in the NEST substantial
aud durable manner, and cost about 10000 or
$4,000. 1t is designed for three batteries, Of
four stamps each though as yet but two bat
teries have been put in. The lead belonging
to the company is believed TO be one Of the best
in this section 1t was first opened during the
quartz excitement in 1851, and mill erected
TO crush the rock; the worknen, however,
through mistake, got on TO another lead near
by which proved TO be worthless. and the pro-
prietors of the old mill became involved. the
work was abandoned. and the machinery of the
mill taken away-a common fate of the quartz
miners Of that day. The present mill has been
erected under more favorable auspices, aud we
have no doubt the proprietOrs will be amply re-
munerated for their outlay Of capital. A large
quantity of rock has been got out of the lead,
which is now being crushtd, and by another
week we are confident Of being able to give a
favorable report Of the first crushing. There
are several other leads in the vicinity of the
m,ll which are believed TO be valuable.
The erection of this IN II has doae mnch to
give an impetus to the interest excited in quartz
in this neighborhood, which in time We have nO
doubt will prove Of great benefit TO the mining
interests OF our county.

The Three Great Powers,

The Press, the Pulpit, and Woman,
are the three great powers Of the

constantly raise humanity to higher
and still higher degrees OF progress
Without them, the bottom of things
would fall out, and society be spilled
back into original chaos. And Of these
great powers, woman is the greatest

il woman is not "iirst in war; she is

heart is woman's empire, wherein she
rules to elevate and refine. Without
the sunshine Of her influence, the heart
of man would be a bog filled with
noxious growth--a mere fungus ooz-

is the engine OF life, the great motive

A Model Wife.

A pleasant little Florentine story

famous American scuIptors, residing
in that delightful city, whittier all the
genius of England seems to tend, was
one day seated in his studio at work
on an Apollo-tor which, by the way,
ne might stand as a model HIMSELF

WoMEN's NoTEs.-We see that the
Supreme Court of the United States
has decided in full bench that the note
of hand Of a married woman, however
wealthy she may be, is utterly value
less unless her husband is able and
willing to pay it. In the case before
the court the woman was sued for the
value of a note of $500 given for
board and lent money. A decision Of
the court below was reversed, and it
was ruled that the wife could not be a
witness against the husband. So that
all the notes of a married woman are
worthless, except notes of invitation.

PurNAM's MoNTnLY.-This work for
July has been received. 1t comes reg.
ularly, and we like to read it, except
when it begins to dahble in politics.
Why its proprietor should profess to
publish a literary and family maga-
zine," and yet faIsify that profession
by continual publications against the
institution of slavery. we cannot tell,
unless it be that he wants to attend to
things that don't concern him. We
advise the editor to take down his
present motto, and have one to read as
follows: A magazine devoted to med,
ding with Southern institutions, espc-
cially that Of slavery, and yet profess
ing to be magazine Of literature,
science and art.
Of all things, we do dctest a man
whose acts belle his words--and ii
that is not the case with Putnam, we
are very much in honest error.
