American Minerals and Stones.

A Mr. J. Caldwell thus writes to the Nation. al lntelfgenccr, respecting native stones and minerals:
 In the county of Giles, in Virginia any amount of the very best burr millstones can be had. The valuable properties of the burr mill stone consist in its exceeding tough hardness, and sharp serrated cellular porosity And in the adjoining county of Montgomery, white flint conglomerate stone aboundS, which is ex- tenslvey manufactured into miistones that can- not be surpassed. Mr. Hawkins, near the line of Bedford and Campbell counties, near the Lynchburg and Tennessee railroad, has a quarry of white flint of quartz which has the most singular character of cleavage in every direc- tlon; which property combined with its exceed ing hardness and coseness of grain and texture qualities it for mllstones of the first rank. par ticularly for making flour. In Greenbrier and Monroe counties, conglomerate stone of va. rlous character exists, out of which milstones are made that cannot be surpassed iu usefulness by any other.
 In Giles county, Virginia, near Newport, the finest Photographic marble exists; in the coun- tv, and those adjoining of Wythe, Smyth Washington and Cabell, the black marble and black most beautifully interspersed with white veins; also, the white, gray. red, yellow, and the variegated are found in large bodies.
 The same section of country likewise has the best stone for grind and whetstones The best of olstone is found in mary places in the same, and in many other places in the counties oi the State, east of the Blue Ridge have in my possession as specimens, several hundred va rleties. Among them are several kinds snpe- C.
 can be had in Monroe county. south, and with. in mile of the Red Sulphur Spring. Noim- ported hone can surpass or scarcely equal them
 On the farm of General Cooke, on the Ja- ques river canal, sxty-fve miles below Lynch burg, is quarry of the best oistone for car penters' tools; he has had fence built of it. From Arkansas and Missouri, stones can be had which, when fabricated with oi cannot be exceled by any found elsewhere, for shar- penlnS razors, engraving instruments or tools winch require fine smooth edge; the hardest steel cannot scratch them. The white and vel low stones found near Deep river, North Ca roiina, for tools are not surpassed by any
 In various localities near the Blue Ridge and each other throughout its whole range, very valuable stones sharpeners for tools exist And in the whole range of the Allegheny mountaln and the numerous ridges connected with 1t, are vast beds of valuable stones, i'm. portant for sharpening tools, mllstones, build ing etc.
 Plaster of gypsum, of the very best kind is found in northwestern Virginia, New York, and on the waters of Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico etc.
 Coal and iron of inex haustibe abundance and ot several or all varieties of each of the finest quality, are found throughout the whole val ley of the Mississippi, from the Allegheny mountain to the base of the Rocky noun tnin
