RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYxENrs.-The Banks of
New York, Phiisdelphia, and Baltimore have resum-
ed specie payments; but those of Richmond and
Petersburg have not yet done SO. We presume that
the Banks of this State are awaiting resumption by
the Richmond and Petersburg Banks. I'd
The Baltimore american of Saturday last says,
though the measure was an important one, and
essary to place exchange par with the cities
north and west of US, whose Banks had already re-
sumcd, its effects here scarcely noticeable Our
banks have for time past met all the local de-
mand for specie, and therefore no urgency was ex-
hibited upon the part Of any one yesterday to OBJ
tain gold or silver for their notes. The suspension
of our Banks, following Immediately upon that Of
the Philadelphia institutions, occurred in the latter
part of September, and has lasted therefore about
four months, . shorter period than any previous
suspension, and proving that though the crisis
severe the recovery has been proportionably rapid
The example Of the Baltimore banks will no doubt
be shortly followed by those of Maryland, Virginia
End North Carolina and these indications of return
ing confidence will give vgor in time to the slowly
progressing revival of trade"

Movements of the Democracy.

The Murfrcesborough Citizen speaks Of meetings
to be held in BERTHE, Gates and Hertford, and ex-
presses the hope that the entre East will be reused
to enthusiasm and activity, resulting in victory and
success" We cordially unite with our contemporary
in this hope. Our Western friends are moving, ard
are determined to be fully represented at Charl"tte
and it is important that the East should be also fully
represented. We agree with the Citizen, that to
ensure harmony and energetic cooperation the Eas
tern Counties should send up large dlegations."-

lotte Convention will be an nharmonious body, and
that, especially upon the question of nterpal im-
provements it will encounter serious difficulties
We shall have no fears on this score, any &C.
count provided all portions of the State well re-
presented
Charlotte, though not in the centre of the State,
is easily accessible by Railroad and in these days
of Railroad facilities travelling is rather recreation
than otherwise The Albemarle, the Neuse, the
Cape Fear, and the Wake and Orange regions can
all reach Charlotte by Railroad The expense too,
will be light, as the Railroads will charge but half
price. Surely at crisis like the present--surely
once in two years good Democrats afford TO give
three or four days service to their country. Re-
solve, therefore, brother Democrats to attend the

harmonious at Charlotte and victorious at the polls
in August. Go, and our word for it you will never
regret it.

Of the message of the President on Kansas affairs
The Editor, after speaking of the message as an
excellent one" and after showing that law, justice
and right all demand the admission of Kansas with
the Lecompton Constitution, says: "Never was
there clearer case submitted to the judgment Of

stituton, as submitted, shall be rejected, it will be

RALEIGH, 9th Feb 1853 =.
SIR: Since the publication of my Special Report
called for by His Exceency Governor Bragg res.
pcctng the advantages of the Valley of Deep River
for the site Of National Foundry, my attention has
been directed more particularly than it previously
had been to an interesting kind Of iron ore which
occurs at the Tyser plantation. 1"i. .. ". - .a
importance, have taken the liberty to communi.
cate them to you for the purpose of having them at
tached to the report already referred to-
The ore is OF dark brown color in mass in which
respect it closely resembles Of the haematites
but it is distinctly stratified like oil other sediments
The powder is an olive, IN which respect il differs
both from the hematites and speculsr ores as well
as from the common magnetic ores, whose powder is
black But like the latter it is strongly magnetic;
and hence it is probable that its chemical compost
ton is not very unlike this valuable ore. II differs
from the common argiaceous ores of the carbonif.
erous system, in the absence Of aumina and also in
several other particulars and aso it differs from
the Blackband ore in It's small proportion of carbon
and its brown color. We may, therefore, regard
this ore a new kind, which may very properly
receive the name of Bropn Magnetic Ore, or Nag
netolie, by which it will be distinguished from the
common black magnetic ore Of the primary rocks
On submitting this ore TO chemical analysis, found
it composed Of the following elements:
Prutoxide Of iron, ?972O
Water, $500
Carbon, 1858
Silica, 1000
