A DESvxR QUAkrx MILL.-Ar-;A. w. Ridges
way called upon us few days since, aud gave
US She result OF his mining experiment, as he
called it. He began late 10 the season, and
erected temporary quartz mill, driven By va
ter, to test the richness Of the quartz on the
Burfoughs lead. ln one month he made over
one thousand dollars. All his machinery was
gotten up here. A large quartz mill with pro-
portionate power, would have increased this
yield tea told.

A Resubl.cAn United tates Senator's
- e e J s1s Men who Ex'"' the
The Providence journal, whose editor is the
Hon. Henry b. Anthony, Rhode Island. United
States Senator, says
We conccde very sincerely the courage, truth
fitness and disinterestedness OF John Brown
But We altogether condemn his act. We do not
doubt that he did what he thought was right.
II is deserving Of condemnation, not Of imita-
ton.
There are some distinguished men from whom
we differ upon this subject. Now there is one
thing we should like to have explained by Mr..
Emerson, Mr. Phillips, and the Others, who tell
US that John Brown is the man who has made 1t
poss ibie tor all American to own without shame
IN Europe that he is all American, who proclaim
,hut his course is the one Tor q true man 10 iol-
low; that his gaiioWs is TO be forever glorious,
like the cross, aud much more ia the same 9 yle.
Ii sil this is SO: il John Brown in his late at.
tempt was y model man; il be did what is the
high duty of II noble hearted split to do, If be
set the example which is worthy OF such un>
qualified admiration and Of imitation, why in
the world do not these heroic lDen who talh so
loudly go aud do what he did? Why are they
content to stand upon this lower plane of Mans
hood, which they nov occupy? They have
talked magni6cenuy about what makes man
in TIL crcis. Why DO they not try 10 be men
after the model which they commend! To be
sure the experiment would be pe,ilous, nay, fatal
But what OF that? True greatness, nay, mans
hood, we are ,old, consists in SUCH sacrifice
as Brown's Why not thea hurry and make it
According to them, Brown is doing, and Is des-
tined to do, more for the cause t. which be -
falling martyr than he could have done by the
eloouence OF a Pit and the long life OF Methu'
sela. Why do they no; JOIN him, help on the
victory OF. freedom, aud place their names Win
