Gold Discoveries in Chile, South America

4. The news of the discovery of the gold dig
gings in Valyidia is fully confirmed. In some
instances from ten to twelve dollars per dav
have been taken from the diggings The Val
paraiso Mycurio. speaking OF the universal re-
sources of the South, says: 'Judging from the
geological formation of those lands, thew can
not fail to contain great quantity Of minerals,
covered atpresent by layer Of veg etable earth,
the richness OF which is apparent in the gold
washed away by the rains, and also those nor
tions where the roughness of the ground does
not allow the vegetable earth to collect, and
where rich veins can easily be discovered %
Parties who have visited the diegines write that
Intelligent miners, with some capital, cannot
fail to make fortunes, because, even should thew
not find gold, which is not probable, they would
undoubtedly find rich copper mines, which are
believed to exist In great abundance in those
regions, The Spanish traditions testify to the
existence of great mineral wealth In the South
OF Chile-a tact that In all probability will ere
long be realized, Ii the Government succeeds
In suoduing the Indians who infest that section.
A Mr.. Brown is reported to have crossed the
Andes In coach, through the provinces Of At
acama. The event has attracted a good deal
Of attention, and inspires the belief in the minds
OF great many persons In Chile of the feasi-
bllity of the construction oi railway across the
Andes-a scheme which William Wheelwrieht,
Esq, mas long had In contemplation.

remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any

the best remedy yet discovered for this class

This was more than they had bargained
for, and demand was made on their off,
GERS for an immediate surrender. When
they walked out it was the most frighten-

voyage they were constantly inquiring Of
the younger officers what they thought
would be done with them. "Do you think
they will hang us?" was frequent ques-
tion. They were treated by all on board
with great kindness and consideration.
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
When the news of the success of the
Hatteras expedition was communicated to
Gen. Scott, the tears rolled down his checks,
and he exclaimed, God be thanked. The
President shared in the general delight,
but remarked, "Why have they brought
all this upon themselves?'' The utmost
cheerfulness prevades all classes, and the
victory is looked on as equivalent to re-
enforcement of twenty thousand men, while
the corresponding depression among the
rebels is equally great.
The announcement was read to the
troops around Fort Corcoran. by whom it
was received with terrific cheering. The
news, spreading along the lines of the Po-
tomac, excited the most unbOunded enthu-
siasm. Maj. Gen. Mccall had the news
read at the head of each regiment of the
division, whereupon cheer after cheer arose
that awakened echoes for miles around
No words, notking but cheers, could ex-

Harvest Hymn.
az GEORGE D. PRENTICE.


At CsrmePs mount the prophet laid
His offering on the altar stone,
And fire descended from the skies,
And round the holy altar shOne;
And thus, when spring went smiling past
Our offerings on the earth were cast,
And Gods own blessing has come down
Our sacrifice of faith 10 crown.
No conqueror o'er our fields has gone,
Te blast with war our summer bowers
Aad stain with blood of woe and guilt,
The soil that giveth life TO flowers;
But morning dews and evening rains
Have fallen on our beauteous plains,
And earth, through all her realms abroad,
Gives back the image of her God.
Bright, with the Autumn's s richest tints,
Each hill lifts up its head on high.
And spreads its fruits and blossoms out,
An offering meet beneath the sky;
And hill. and plain, and vale, and grove,
Join in the sacrifice of love,
And wind, and stream, and lake, and sea,
Lift high their hymns of ecstacy.
It is the festival of earth
The flame of love Ger nature burns,
And to the holy heaven goes up
Like incense from a thousand urns;
And oh, let mans impassioned voice,
With natures self il song rejoice,
Until the blended notes of love
Ring from the temple-arch above.
