W0odtord and Putnam; VerlnillIoD Coles,

five members, Douglas will have one majority

Douglas will carry. at the lowest count at

have to carry three Of the above doubtful dis

Now, we believe he will carry at least one in

that he will carry one in Macoupin without
doubt, two in SangamOn. without doubt. one in
Mason and Logan, without doubt, aud one in

stand as good chance for the balance as Mr..
Lincoln. The United States Senator will be

New Amalgamating Process la Quartz MIm.
Ing.


The Placer Herald, of Nov. 9th, announc, 5
the success Of a new amalgamating process re-
Gently introduced ia that county by Jad .e
Chambers. The application of the process was
mad at the Bay State Quartz mill. in Placer
county. with the most satisfactory result. 1t
is stated that quartz tailings have yielded from
$50 to $3.50 n ton. and this from rock that has
heretofore paid but from $40 to SIS TO the ton.
These favorable results have attracted the gen
eral attention Of the quartz men in Placer. " no
are anxiously waiting further developments.
The Herald says:
Not having seen the operations by the new
plan, VIC are not prepared to give an accurate
description of the machinery used In addition
however. to the usual stamping batteries. u set
OF mill stones are used to reduce the talings to
= greater nncness after this operation the tail
ings are run through a number of small mills
or amalgamators. where the gold saving takes
place. Besides these. certain chemicals are
used, which is the only secret of the new pro-
ceFs. The amalgamat0rs cost about $l00 each
and the number required depends upon the ca
pacity OF the batteries for crushing The chem
icalS are said not TO be costly and it is claimed
for the process that it is cheap and effrclual in
saving the finest particles of gold. The great
cost to quartz companies in availing themselves
of the benefits of the discovery will he the
large price demanded for its use. as it il pat
ented. 1t is to be hoped. however. that if it is
really as valuable to the quartz miner as is
claimed for it, the process may be placed with.
In the pecnniary reach of every quartz compa.
ny in the State.
few Of the amalgamators were put up at
the Bay State Mill to experiment with and
more are now being added. Some time may
yet be required to demonstrate the full value
Of the discovery, but enough has been already
done to inspire those Immediately interested
with abundant confidence.
1t is authoritatively stated that it has lately
been tried in the quartz mines of Virginia with
astounding success. Quartz. that from the
former modes Ofamalgamation of in vogue there,
| only 81 and Sc to the ton were realized, now
yield $500 and $400 to the ton. This state
ment seems too fattering to receive credence.
but letters have been received from quartz op-
orators in Virginia. declaring such results to

MR. EDrroR Items are at present particu-

of the town while the panic was fresh and at its
height, had no doubt that building or two
had been thrown down, at least. The current
of excitement Flowed toward Montgomery
block. and the prevalent feeling seemed to be-
that there if anywhere, the effects Of the shock
would be discernable. But the mistaken out
line of that massive structure, gave the lie TO
the popular expectation: and when the Post
Office, the City Hall, and the Custom House
building were all announced TO be equally un-
injured. feeling akin to disappointment SEEM

the earthquake was greatly diminished. Que
