On White river it is found in great quan- titles over large extent of coun'ry. At one tune a company was formed, ana much of the ore ship- ped to LiverIool. It was found profitable busi- ness then.

That price ought to leave ,rsin of two hundred per cent profit after paying for its ex racpn from the mine and freight to anu across the Atlantic. When the blockade opens, we opine this will become an article oi commercial value. For full description of the mines, their quality of ore and probable yield, we refer our readers t, Owens geological report:

tronizes them which they can only discharge ln times like he present When business is pros- porous, and farmers find ready market for their produce, they support and enrich the mer- chant, but in times of distress when there Is no sale for the products of the farm, the farmer has to look to the merchant for that assistance which he so cheerfulIy rendered the merchant when he had the power. The benefits >h 'uld b. mutual. The merchant that eXacts ex"rbtant priceS, or disposes of his stock to spectators in periods of public distress, is unmindful of his dhiy, and unworthy the support oi a generous pub lie.
 To the merchant of the Southern Con 'ederacy this War has been Godsend. While he has been released from the immediate and pressing necessity of di,clarsing his debts in northern cities, he has been enabled to dispose ot h.s en- tire stock at largely enhanced prices. He has been enabled to sell the remnants of old stocks on hand, at fifty and a hundred, and sometimes two hundred per cent proft, which, if the war had never occurred, would have fallen dead loss on his hands. The merchant alone ot ali the citizens of the South has made money In the last six months IL is true he complains of hard times and talks of the scarcity of money, but at the same time he Is prospering to de- gree that he never prospered before, and he is gradually accommodating all the wealth of the country in his drawer.
