that he had never seen the prospects for mn

The Company intends sending as specimen
some 30 tons of orc to market this Fall, and
so Sonn rs they can erect their works, they
will be prepared to ship 200 tons per month.
The ore from this mine has been tested by
Prof. BooTn, the assayer at the Philadelphia
Mint, he pronounccs it very rich With all

taste, without any exceptions. We have
heretofore been impressed with the idea that

tho belief that its introduction ,nto our coun-

country we also think is highly adapted to
the cultivation of the grape, as wild grapes
of a superior quality grow in profusion all

We were forcibIy struck with the remark
of an Italian friend who said that he had
seen no country since he left italy that so
much reminded him of it rs this. Apples
also grow in abundance in this country,
which, with a little attention, would compare
fnvOrnhly with any. And vet we are told by
the opposcrs of tho Blue Ridge road that this
country affords nothing for shipment over
railroad. We would recommend those gen

selves fully with the resources OF this coun.
try, and if they will give indisputabc facts of
any weight, they will see the iutlity of such
an argument as this. And out of Justice to
the country. if not to the cause that they are
combating, withdraw it forever.
