We should like to know who puts afoat all the
gossipiDg paragraphs like the above. "The monthly
product Of Col Ere mons mines recently reported
on good authority at $4,000; but nothing was said as
to the co of realizing that product. COL Fremont has
a spIeadid mineral property, wherein many millions
worth of gold doubtless lie imbedded, but we appre
hend that up TO this time he has not realized any net
profit therefom. II anybody would say just how much
his $40 90 per month costs him, might be Pcesi-
bic 10 guess how sooa he cW receive any.

THE HOPE OF Our CoUNTRY.-We
clip the following from a valuable con-
tribution to late Atlantic Monthly, en-
titled, The reign of King Cotton:
a we'll founded Republic can, then,
be destroyed only by destroying its peo'
pie its decay Of their intelligence and
any form, thought, or any institution tend
ing to suppress education or destroy in
telligence, strikes at the very essence oI
the government, and constitutes treason
which no law can meet, and for which nc
punishment is adequate. Education,
then, as universally diffused as the ele'
ment of God, is the life blood of our body
polite, The intelligence of the people is
the one great fact of our civilization and
our prosperity-lt is the beating heart OF
our age and OF our land. 1t is this which
makes the fundamental principles of ouI
Declaration of independence living re-
alties,
while in France they still remain the rhe-
torical statement Of glittering generali-
ties. From this source flow all our pos
sibilities. Without it, the equality Of man
is a pretty figure of speech, with it, de-
mocracy is possible.
