THE PRECIOUS METALS.

For seven or eight years, California alone
added Fifty Millions Of Dollars per annum to
the worlds supply of coined or bar Gold but
her productiveness has considerably fallen Off.
The entire shipment eastward from San Fran
cisco in 1861 will scarcely reach Forty Nil.
lions; and this includes a considerable amount
drawn from the new Territory Of Nevada
Carson Valley, Oregon and British Columbia.
Of course, portion of the product is retained
in every d.produeing country, but We judge
that the product Of California in 1861 will fall
considerably below Forty Millions of Dollars.
Nevada has thus far produced considerably
more Silver than Gold; yet she has veins OF
quartz at once rich in Gold and exceedingly
rich in Silver, while her mineral region is
rapidly expanding. The eastern base Of the
Sierra Nevada appears to be rich in minerals,
while the naked. barren ranges of mountains
that skirt the valley of the detested Humboldt
appear to be especially rich in silver. Prob.
ably future researches will trace veins Of
shining ore in the short, irregular, desolate
ranges of low mountains that stretch thence
through Utah aud thus connect the mineral
system of the Sierra Nevada with that of the
Rocky Mountains.
This latter, by the way, appears to be yield.
ing poorly this season. First the San Juan
mines Tin or near the upper edge of New
Mexico) gave out; since then, we have heard
poor accounts of the whole region watered by
the tributaries of the South Platte, and regard.
ing Denver as its emporium. We have not
heard of q "big strike" in that region for
months, and have heard that very few of the
miners therein are paying current expenses. II
this be generally true, Gov. Gilpin of Colorado
will have q lonesome post by the close of an
other summer.
In Oregon, the Gold-dggings are steadily ex,
tending, aud it is now said that most OF the
region watered BY the Columbia and its tribu.
taries above the Cascade Mountains will ulti'
mately prove auriferous. We also hear vague
Iy of good diggings opened at either base Of
the Rocky Mountains in the wild Indian coun.
try stretching from the South Pass northward
to the British line.

Gold also, have recently been opened in Canada,
while Nova Scotia is generally excited by
stories that Gold has been extensively discovered
in her rugged hills. We cannot say how ex.
tensvely the expectations thus excited are likely
10 be realized; but there can be no doubt that
Gold exists throughout a considerable area o.
this province--but whether in such abundance
that it may BIO proftaby and Systematically
worked remains to be proved. %
On the whole, while We doubt the discover,
of another gold-feld at once so extensive an,
SO rich as that Of California, il seems clea

A COTTON TREE,

A Mr.. Kendall proposes to lecture in our
city on species Of tree he once brought from
mountainous region Of South America, where
the snow lies three months in the year, and
which he now has growing on his farm near Balti-
more. This tree, be informs US, grows to the
size of the Mulberry, is hardy and loOg.lived,
and bears q pod-in fact q great many pods
filled with choice quality Of Cotton. He
says II may be grown throughout the Northern
States, and will supply the Cotton fiber IN
abundance at little cost except for picking
We do not doubt the existence of this tree,
aud Of other trees or shrubs from which q
fiber like the cotton may be obtained-how
abundantly and at what cost we shall know
when we have learned. The ordinary cotton
plant is a very good one, but by no means tho
only one that yields fiber suitable for textile
fabrics. Had q Million acres Of the coil OF the
Free States been scaronnbly sown to Flax last
Spring, and had the stalk been mainly pulled
or cut green, the fiber separated and reduced
to a state analogous to that Of ginned cotton,
by the very best machinery and processes 1--WE
do not know which are the best), this country
would o-day have been many millions richer
than she is. aud prepared 10 draw specie
heavily from Europe. Shall not due inquiry
be made, and plans laid for largely increasing
the growth of Flax, and improving the modes
of treating its fiber next seasonl

We priHt this morning another interesting
letter from our special correspondent in Ten
pessee, whose first letters appeared IN THE
TRIBUNE of Monday. The writer has unusual
facilities for obtaining information, and his
statements may be relied on as perfectly accu-
rate. The letter which appears this morning
shows that the Rebels have called as many men
into the field as they can conveniently muster,
and that they will find it difficult to fill the
places of those whom they lose by disease, de-
sertiOn, or in the natural course of warfare,
not to mention the imposSibility Of increasing
their force.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 90 Several gentlemen who

and panic Of the Federsists exceeded that of Mans

swarm Of b!ack6irds. They say it is impossible to
describe the scene, or to estimate the number of

while swimming and struggling in the water; many
of them left their clothing, of all kinds behind
them; any many of thom drowned each ether in
their Efforts to escape.
