GOLD AND QUlCKsILvER.-To mine iron ad-
vantageously coal is necessary; and it has
been observed that wherever rich iron mine:
are found, large coal veins are also in the vi
cinity. After iron, gold and silver may be
considered as perhaps the most valuable met
ais, and they, like iron, require for advanta
geous mining large quantities of another
mineral-quicksilver and this is usually
found near gold and silver mines, as coal i:
found near iron The Oldest quicksilver
mine in the world, and one of the most pro
ductive, is that of the Almaden. in Spain
half way between Madrid and Gibraltar.
Spain was, in ancient times, rich in gold
and, indeed we should not be very much
surprised if its old hills should again Weld
treasures greater than of Old with the as.
sistanee of the improved methods of gold
mining first introduced in California.
The second great quicksilver mine is that
of New Almaden, which was fortunately
opened in our own State just in time to as
sist in the working of our auriferous quartz
veins.
The third quicksilver mine is that Of Idria,
in Austria, where gold is also found, but not
abundantly.
The quicksilver mine of Huaneavelica, in
Peru, is situated near the great silver mines
of Cerro Pasco.
There are numerous veins Of cnnabar in
the silver bearing districts of Mexico but
those hitherto discovered are all too small
to be worked proftably There are some
quicksilver mines in China and other parts of
Asia, but very little is known in Europe and
America about them We observe in a late
number of the Bendiga Mercury that there
is prospect of the discovery Of mercury in
the vicinity of the Australian gold fields
That journal says:
We have in our possession specimen of a
mineral substance which resembles in color,
and also in texture, the red sulphuret of mer-
curry, known in commerce as cinnabar. Of
this mineral there are several varieties, the
first and richest being of compact texture,
Opaque, and having the hue of cochineal. A
second variety is of earthly consistency, and
scarlet tint. A third is bituminous, of slatey
texture and brick red hue. The specimen
before us partakes of the Characteristic OF
both the last named varieties, having the
color Of the latter, with the texture of the
former. There is yet another ore of mer-
cury-the chloride--whieh is found in the
form of small crystals, of greenish gray
color, embedded in ferruginous garque and
with this also the substance we refer to ha;
points in cOmmon.-AHd.

Douglas in Tennessee.

The Memphis Appeal, one of the leading
and most influential papers in Tennessee, in
answer to an article in the Avalanche against
Senator Douglas, says:
Owe have so long been accustomed to think
and determine for ourselves upon q estion
of public policy and to act upon certain fix
ed principles rather than from impulse, that
we doubt if even the fear of not being "class-
ed with the Administration" would deter us
from speaking out our honest convictions up
on any subject legitimatey coming within
the sphere of discussion by public journal.
We have not regarded the contest in Illinois
as one between Judge Douglas and the Adj
miuistration, but as contest between the
Democracy, with Judge Douglas rs their
chosen leader, and the Black Republicans,
under Lincoln, and as such, we have not hesi.
tated to declare that our sympathies were
with the leader of the National Democratic
party. Nor do we doubt but that the Ad-
ministration will feel itself more in lebted TO
the zeal than the discretion of those who
would make service rendered the Democratic
party in contest with Black Republicanism
proof Of infidelity to the Administrations
We repudiate the application of all such tests.
The disagreement between Judge Douglas
and the Administration arose on question
of fact rather than principle. His position
upon all questions connected with the terri
torial policy of the government is identical
with that of the Administration as embodied
in the Kansas Nebraska Act, as enunciated
in the Presidents Inaugural, and as reitera
ted upon several subsequent occasions They
differed in regard to the proper MODE of ap-
plying to particular case a principle recog-
nised as true by both. But that is past and
is now to all intents and purposes dead is
sue. And although we have not seen any
just cause to retract anything we then said of
the course of Judge Douglas upon that ocea
sion, we are very sure that it would be alto
gether out of place to repeat it now, since it
can have no relevancy to the present contest
in Illinois, and the position Judge Douglas
occupies in that contest The issue Joined in
Illinois is one between Democrats and Black
Repubicans-between Douglas standing up
on a National, Conservative States Rights
Democratic platform, and Lincoln, the candi.
date of the sectional, anti. slavery agitators.
As between them, we are for Douglas. The
Avalanche may choose for itself
