The House met few minutes before 10 o'clock.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr. Badham said he wished to draw the attention
of the House, to circumstance affecting himself
printed circular, headed IAN appeal to the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature" had been crcu-
lated among the members of the House. He had
been informed, this circular had been attributed to
the friends of the'Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal
He therefore felt it due to the General Assembly
to state that as far as he himself was concerned
he had no connection with the document. and he
could, with confidence say the same for his friends
The circular was read by the Clerk.
He had not received copy Of the document, and
took the opportunity of sealing it with his condem
nation. Convinced as he was that the honor
and safety of the State depended upon the demo-
cratic party, he doubted very much if that docu-
ment sprang from that party.
Mr.. Ferebee thought enquiry would soon make
known where it originated. It evidently originated
in Raleigh and perhaps enquiry among the Printers
would throw light on the author
Mr.. Benbury, in reply to Mr.. Badham said, that
he had heard from good authority, that it had been
printed at the Standard Office which was conclusive
as to what source it sprung from.
Mr.. Badham said it was remarkable that the gen.
| tleman opposite knew more about the matter than
any person else I'll
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PUBLIC LANDS.
Mr.. Benbury offered the following resolution.
Resolced That if bill that has passed the
Congress Of the United States should become law.

NIGHT SESSION.
The House met at seven o'clock
The debate was resumed on the French Broad
Railroad BILL
Mr.. Dula felt some embarrassment in addressing
an assembly, in which were some of the most emil
nent men Of the State. But knowing how deeply
the interests Of the State were concerned in this
matter, he felt it his duty to oppose the bill before
the House. No matter what the advocates Of II
might say, this bill would virtually kill the western
extension. He said it would be impossible for the
western people to raise $500, 900 to complete the
contract for the road. Mr. D. gave the history oil
the Railroad siuce 1854, when the western exten.
sion was first chartered with the express object o.
building up the great Central Railroad If this bill
for the French Broad Railroad passes, the Western
Extension stops. He said it was the object of east
ern gentlemen to put down this road and asked Mr.
Baird if he would support the Western Extension
Mr.: Baird replied he always preferred the IVES
tern Extension if it was possible to build it if mol
he wanted the French Broad. :,
Mr.. Dula said some western men acted with baa
faith. He defended Mr. Caldwell from the charge
Of being an enemy TO the Western Extension, anu
wanted it to stop at Morganton; but he believed D.
had more interest in carrying it than the pecp%
beyond the mountains. He advocated the princlp'

QuARrz.-A correspondent of the Alta
gives the following brief description of crush
ing and amalgamating quartz in the Mill OF
Mr.. j. 2. Yaney at jamestown, Tuolumne
county:
The quartz is first stamped dry and passed
through sieves, into what are called the
grinders, of which there are two each, about
four feet in diameter; the powder. on leav.
ing these grinders cannot be distinguished
from -four except by the taste; from thence
the -four dust is shoveled into amalgamators,
of which there are five on side; then wa
ter is first used, and the dust and quicksilver
are kept in continual motion by triangular
iron shoe, occupying one half the amalgama-
tor; this is the "Brevost" method, and the
advantage claimed is that the quicksilver i;
kept unbroken, and every particle of quartz
is brought in contact with it. Sixteen lbs
of quicksilver are used in each amalgamator
each being thirty inches wide; at present
Mr.. Y. is running but three stamps, and av-
erages 400 lbs. of quartz per hour; The wa
ter wheel is "a feet in diameter, and makes
60 revolutions in minute Ihls process
will save gold when almost every othel
method fails Mr.. Y. experimental on som'
tailings from quartz, which paid 62 cents pc
ton in arastras, and by the Brevost proces
obtained "a One lot from above Sonor'
was tested and $40 per ton, though by tn
old method but $50 was obtained. MI
Yaney informed me that owing to the grea
expense attending both the getting out tn
rock and running the machinery, it will no
remunerate at less than fifteen dollars pc
ton.

not take the contract on such terms.
