THE GOLD CROP OF NE UNITED STATES,

TIE GOLD CROP OF The UNITED STATES
Our country Is known, worldwide, as the
great country" the model Republics" and it
really looks as it, hereafter, we are TO be known
as the "god country" Ten years ago this
title would have been a misnomer but the
revolutions Of Times wheel in ten years, ef-
feet great changes. The auriterous deposits
Of California were first made public to US in
lS49, and each succeeding year has developed
their seemingly exhaustless riches. The world
predicted brief career to the gold-hunters Of
that region; but the result proves the world to
have been very much at fault The California
product does not show any signs Of diminu-
ton. Il holds out nobly The first discoveries
were unquesdonably, but the washings from
the great and original masses Of quartz in the
State. These surface deposits may be nearly
exhausted but the fountain does not drv up
because the brook is consumed. There Is no
evidence TO prove that gold mining in Califor-
MIA viii not be highly remunerative for many
future years. The actual product thus far, Is
not easily ascertained, as much has been car
RED away, by private hands, that has never
reached the American mint But the amount
which has reached the mint since 1854, is
SAC, 402, 1882. If we add TO this the large
amount shipped TO other countries in dust, and
the amount consumed, in its raw state, for
jewelry, etc, the total product, for ten years,
will not fall short Of S525, 1000 in round
numbers. We thus see that California alone,
on an average, gives Us q million efgold each
week!
There are lesser lights in our golden galaxy,
too large to be overlooked. The North Caro-
Ina mines have turned out, during the last
twenty years, nearly 81. 500, 0OO-say, in round
numbers, half million annually.
The Georgia mines fall but little short of
this amount, and, for the sake Of convenience,
we may say that Georgia gives Us a little less
than half million yearly.
The gold product Of Oregon and Washington
Territories may be put down at 100000; and
those Of Kansas, thus far, at the same amount
Lastly, we have the Arisona or ella River
mines, the products Of which it is too early to
estimate; but if we believe the half told us,
they are of no small account.
With the foregoing data before us-with
California giving US a million Of gold per week
with prospective yield of half that amount
from all our other mines-may we not safely
count the Gold Crop of the United States at
sereHy-fre million dollars per arnun, or a nil
lion and half per ,ceet?

A HARD CASE ISDEED.--The Cincinnati
Commercial gives the following item:
"ln the criminal branch of the Common
Pleas court yesterday morning before Judge
Mallon, n nole was entered in the case of Fran
els Heck, and he was discharged from custody.
The prisoner had been committed to the Po-
lice Court to answer to charge of having
passed counterfeit $40 note on the Bank Of
Louisville, and the grand jury indicted him.
When the prisoner was arraigned The note uas
pronounced genuine. Mr.. Heck had lain IN The
County jail acating trial on he ADORE charge since
September. II is our deliberate opinion that
he ought to whip somebody"
And II is our opinion, often before express
cd, and now reiterated, that the State should
be compelled to pay damages, in such cases as
this, TO the party injured. Such hardships are
too great for an individual to endure for the
sake Of sOcIcty.-Boston Bee,

THE MEADOW LANDS OF THE CovcoRp
RIVER VALLEY.-A meeting was held at Con
cord on Monday, to take into consideration the
overflow Of meadow lands on the Concord
river, from Billerica to birmingham These
lands, according to a report in in the Jour
nal, have been flooded by means Of dam
at Billerica, and it was stated that thousands
of acres had been rendered worthless in con-
sequence. Col. Heard, of Wayland, stated
that he had formerly come into possession of
some Of these lands, at the rate of SIS an
acre. The law granting the right of water
power at BilIerica, interposes obstacles to the
obtaining Of remuneration by the land owners
The amount of land damaged is estimated
at from 10000 to $4,000 acres, and to the
amount Of a million Of dollars. About 200
farmers were present at the meeting, and these
it is stated, are but small portion of those in
terested. Resolutions were passed, calling for
adequate remedies to be provided by the Leg
stature, and committee appointed.
1t was stated by some of tho speakers, that
Inconvenience and damage also arose from the
waters sent down from the Cochituate reser-
yoirs above, during the haying season.-Yrap-
