The War and Slavery. /

y The struggle is not, on the part, Of the
North, forthe overthrow Of slavery. Il
Is not a war for emancipation. Il il not
an attack upon the institutions Of the
South. With slavery in the States the
North has nothing to do-cluims no right
to Interfere, and will not voluntarily inter-
fere with it there. But the North, the
East, and the West will defend the Con-
stitutiou, will uphold the Union. Tho
millions Of the free States have resolved
that this Republic shall not be overthrow.

was believed not to exist, will produce a
yield Of silver absolutely enormous in view
Of what has hitherto been obtained from the
ordinary metallic silver deposits. In ton Of

yield would be IS ounces. the new discovery
viii produce an average yield Of Is ounces.
the 100 ounces being produced from what has
hitherto been regarded as useless, The i'm.
portance to our mines, where silver is often
found near the other metals, will be very
great; and. in some cases where the deposit
Is great. and unmyed with other metals, the
returns will be almost fabulous, where the
cost Of working will be absolutely triarng."
