LATEST INTELLIGENCE by THE MAILS.
Close OF the Canvass.


The Nashville Patriot, published in the city OF
Mr.. Bells residence, paper which has conducted
the canvass with unusual ability and dignity, has
the following sensible and appropriate reflections
upon its close:
The canvass for the Presidency is nearly finished.
Whatever may be the result, the supporters Of the
Constitutional Union ticket have nothing with
which to reproach themselves, or to mar the sats-
faction with which they have rallied around their
standard bearers. They have stopped to nothing
low or mean--they have not resorted to the petty
arts of the demagOgue-bu have maintained their
cause by manly argument and indisputable facts.
Adler and purer men than their candidates the
nation does not contain, and these gentlemen have
conducted themselves during the entire canvass
with the exalted dignity and decorum due to the
relations they have to the people, Standing upon
the record of their past services, they have made
no pledges to catch votes, but have honorably alb
stained from everything having tendency to such
unworthy conduct. We cannot believe that they
are to be defeated. We cannot think that men so
eminently worthy in every respect, the symbols of
a cause which should be dear to every patriot
heart are to be cast aside for the leaders of
sectional party, whose success will, if it does not
lead to dismemberment of the Union, be the
source of infinite mischief Between the chiefs of
the Constitutional Union party and those of the
Republican party there ought to be no hesitation
these two parties none but the stupid the blind
can fail now to perceive. The conservative ele-
ments of all sections of the Union, in conjunc-
ture like the present, it would seem, ought not to
have any difficulty in ascertaining what duty de-
mands of them; and if they will but answer to its
demands Lincoln and Hamiin will be defeated and
Bell and Everett triumphantly elected.

in width. One half tee bottom Of this box is cover
ed with galvanized copper, the rest Of the sIuice
Is a long narrow box, eighteen inches wide four.
teen deep, and Of indefinite length, the longer the
better. Across the bottom Of this suice there are
small bars of wood placed on grooves, cut. after
perforated sheet iron is placed in them an half an
inch from the bottom. Frequently at the end Of
the sluice, small box is placed, containing quick
silver.
The mill s put in motion, the quartz il shoyeled
into the batteries from the front side; It Is soon
pounded into a powder; a gallon and a half of
water per minute flows into the battery; a tea
spoonful Of quicksilver ID also put into the battery
every half hoar-this collects the gold and ANAL
gaInates it. When the quartz becomes fne it
sp,asnes through the screen into the apron, the
galvanized copper plate collects portion of the
hne particles Of gold that comes in contact with it,

some OF course, pass over, and, IL not caRght by
the quicksilver in the grooves in the apron it falls
into another galvanized copper shut in the sIuice
where 1t s retained; If not there, the rifle bars
will make an effort to stop it, and as last resort
the uicksilver box at the end il ready If il psssea
that, il is gone.
They generally run the mills a week before
cleaning up. Then the batteries are cleaned oat
the aprons scraped, the quicksilver and gold taken
up together, the copper plates are scraped Of the
amalgau, the rifle bars are examined and cleaned
the quicksilver box also examined; then the con.
glonerate mass of quicksilver and gold is put into
a piece of buckskin, and the loose quicksilver
strained through and retained for future use !; the
amalgam is then taken from the buckskn, and put
into an iron where it is retorted, which separates
the gold from the quicksilver.
There is no waste of quicksilver il great care is
taken in its use, and the more it is used the better
it becomes.
The gold found in the quartz is as fine as super
fine flour, an impalpable powder, and it is with
great difficulty that it is retained.
1t is estimated that it takes about one-horse
power to drive single stamp.

How Gold Is Obtained from Quartz.

A letter in the st. Louis Republican from the
Kansas mines thus describes the process Of OBJ
tanning gold from quartz:
The mill most in use here is the stamp mill some
numbering six and from that up to twenty stamps
each, placed in row, divided into apartments Of
three stamps, which fall into one battery. The
stamps are round about six inches in diameter and
fourteen inches long, with feet of chilled iron
steel these coming in contact with the quartz soon
wear out. The stamps are attached to stems about
eight feet long and two and halt inches in diame-
ter; while two or three feet from the top of the
stem collar is attached, circling the stem, and
about the same diameter of the stamps. The
stamps are fastened in frame to work up and
down, and back OF the stems there is horizontal
shaft to which the cams are attached, which, as
they reyolve, takes under the collar and lifts the
stamp the required height, generally about fifteen
inehes then the end of the cam passes from under
the collar and the stamp falls crushing the quartz.
The shaft reVolyes about thirty times minute,
lifting each stamp that number OF times. twenty
stamp crusher will strike ten blows second.
The battery is of iron or wood generally about
three feet long. one foot wide and two feet high
square box form. The back side of the battery
is open from the bottom to 8 height of seven ol
eight inches and over this opening screen of per
forated sheet iron is securely fastened and through
this screen passes all the hne quartz, gola etc.
on an apron Of wood, about three feet square, Th,
upper part of this apron is plated with coppe
sheeting galvanized, below this there are groove
running the length OF the apron, filled with quick
sifTer-cut slips these grooves are called some
times, resembling a window blind opening toward
| the mouth of the battery. Below the apron is th'
| sluice box, three feet wide, and the sides abou
fourteen inches high the first joint of the suice

The Dallas Herald of the 9th ut. has the fol
lowing:
We hear of heavy crops of wheat sown down
this season, heavier than ever before The busy
season has been in full blast for some time, and
the farmers we'll satisfied with their fall labor.
Rains have fallen most propitously, enabling them
to prepare their ground for sowing and planting.
Notwithstanding the severe drought, there is yet
an abundance of wheat and corn in the country,
and some to spare to purchasers at distance.
One thing can be said of Dallas county, we have
never had an entire failure of the crops, nor have
our people ever suffered for the necessaries of life
We might add even the luxnres too, for such
loaves of rich white bread, such fat turkeys fat
pigs and muttons, such monster whtte.headed cab.
bage, grapes, pecans and Water-melons, were
never seen anywhere else. In addition, we have
thousands of quas, prairie chickens, wild ducks,
deer and possums.
The Mckinney Messenger of the 18th ult. says ::
The weather for the past few months has been
remarkably favorable to the growth of fall vege-
tation, and grass on the praries was never better
at this season. All kinds Of mast are abundant so
that farmers will not be under the necessity of
feeding much grain to hogs that are to be fattened
Unless the coming winter should prove hard one,
corn and other kinds of grain will be comparative
ly plentiful and cheap before spring. decline in
these articles is already announced.
The Colorado Citizen of the 27th has the follow
ing:
John Christian was killed on last Sunday near
Prairie Point, in this county, by George Day. The
difficulty grew out of horse. Christian had won
pony from Day, and Day it seems, refused to
give him up. Christian followed Day to the resi-
dence of Mrs. sanders and called him out. Day
told him he would not come out, neither should he
come in. Christian drew pistol and fired ut Day
as be ran into the house. Christian followed Day
into the house, where, it appears from the testi.
mony Day drew boBieknife and stabbed Chris
tian three times, from which he died in few
minutes. The case has been examined before JUS
tices of the Peace, A. ]. Nave and R. J. Putney,
and Day bound over to the District Court in the
sum of one thousand dollars.

Is THE LEGEND CONFIRMED 2-The scene is at Bis
ham Abbey. The Lady Hobby, there named, was
the sister Of Lady Bacon and Lady Burleigh:
Here is picture of Lady Hobby, with very
white face and hands, dressed in the Golf, weeds
and wimple, then allowed to baronets widow.
In this dress she is still supposed to haunt bed
room, where she appears with self-supported
basin moving before her, in which she is perpetu-
ally trying to wash her hands; but tis remarkable
that the appariton is always in the negative, the
that because her child, William Hobby could not
write without making blots, she beat him to death.
1t is remarkable that twenty years ago in altering
the window shutter, quantity of chldrens copy
books of the time of Elizabeth were discovered
pushed into the rubbe between the joists of the
floor, and that one of these was copy book which
answered exactly to the story, as if the child could
not write single line without blot.

REcoRAGE.- Washington, Oct. so.--As much
has recently been said in the public prints about
the reeoining of gold dollars into pieces of large
denominations, it may be stated that orders have
been issued from the Treasury Department in two
special cases only and then on representation that
the smaller coins occasoned nuch inconvenience
in the receipts and disbursement for no sooner are
they paid out than they received again in bust
ness transactions. There appears to be redund-
ancy of them among commercial classes. The
Assistant Treasurer at New York has, for the
greater facility in counting, authorized about
1000, 600 of them to be recoined; the Assistant
Treasurer at St. Louis upwards Of 10000 for SINH.
lar reasons.
This recoinage, however. applies to the original
late issues only, which it is known are smaller
in circumference and thicker than the latter. Of
the former there are now $9000000 and of the
latter Sc 600 COON circulation. On complaint a
few days sneesfrom Philadelphia, 5000 600 were
sent from New York to the mint, whence they were
withdrawn and very many of them again found
their way to New York While the gold dollars are
great convenience. it is considered that there is
great redundance of them forfarge transactions,
and hence the recent special orders in relation to
the coinage. There does not seem to be any pur-
pose so to reduce the amount of this description Of
coin as to inconvenience the public.
