SILVER IN PENNsYLvANIA.-A writer in the
New York Courier mentions silver mine in
Pennsylvania -argentiferous gaena-the ore
of which when melted produces an average
Of l20 ounces of silver to the net ton thus
giving a value of upwards of S4OO to the ton
of ore; the silver producing $3.50, and the
lead sl2O per ton. The writer adds
This is nearly three times the value Of the
rich placers of Arizona, and has never been
approached in richness by any other mines in
the world. There can be no mistake in the
calculations which have been made in regard
to the Pennsylvania mine; assays have been
made by the most reliable men, among whom
is Professor Torrey, of the Assay Office and
although we have only assumed the average
yield at 220 ounces to the ton of 1000 lbs,
yet some assays have been made which have
shown upwards of four hundred ounces to the
ton

GEN. WALKER AND Col. LooKRDGE.-The
following from an eastern paper is going the
rounds!
"Affars of honor" are getting to be as
thick as blackberries Ore nearly occurred
lately between Col S. A. Lockridge and Gen.
VIM. Walker. Lockridge met Walker in the
street and denounced his late book on Nicar-
aqua as totally false, so far as it related to
the former, informing him also that he should
hold him responsible therefor at an carly
day To which Walker replied, "When you
please, SIR" Col. Lockridge 1hen sent note
by his friend, R. II. Purdom, which note, it
appears, was withdrawn for explanation. In
answer to another note Gen. Walker replied
that in his book he "did not intend to impugn
the honor or courage of Col. Lockridge," and
so the affair ended without an appeal to pis-
tolls. Capt. Foyssou was Walkers "friend."
