THE CITY.

THE CAsr OF rHR -Rup-
right and Hawn, who were arrested Wednes-
day night at New Buffalo, Mahoning county
on a charge of cOunterfeiting coin, were ex-
amined before 0. s. Commissioner B. White
last evening. The witnesses were Deputy
Narshals PattersoR and Hsekett, and Nessrs.
Va c. Webb and N. Il. Gilkison. Deputies
Hackett and Patterson testified to substan-
tally the same facts IS appeared in our issue
Of yesterday morning. In addition to what
has been Published, there was a large guam
tity Of stuff having the appearance of coin
seiKSds which had probably been thrown
aside on account Of its imperfsctions. There
was also taken from q chest in Ruprighps
house quantity ofcOPper with the imprint
Of i've dollar gold pieces upon It. Mr.. Webb
testified as 70 Rupright and Hawn passing
The bogus coin, from both of whom he re-
ceived some Of i in change. Mr.. Gilkison
stated the items Of conversation with
Hawn, in which the latter stated taat he
knew these things were about his premises,
but that he had nothing to do with them !;
that they were left thsre BY Dr.. webb
Rupright, IN explanation Of the presence Of
eOuntsrfeiting implements and bogus coin at
his place, said they were brought within q
few days BY q man named Payne, and that
Payne had been operating that night, and
had left some coin in the mould-two half
dollar pieces, still hOtWhen theofieers made
the arrest-and gone out to inform the Off
GERS that it was time TO make deseent-
Joseph Adams, Esq appeared as counsel for
defendants.
The Commissioner held Rupright 10 bail
in the sum Of 81, 900. In the case of Hawn,
although he thought the presence upon his
premises Of the material seized amounted TO
nothing in itself, Jet the fact of his having
in his possession and passed bogus coin
made out a case against him, aud he was
held in 81 200. Both will probably procure
bail.

Colonel Lee.

The name of this gallant officer appears
frequently, of late, in the reports from Mis-
sissippi. He now commands the first bril-,
gade of cavalry in Gen. Grants army, and
has lately led the chase after the retreating
forces of Pemberton. During his recent
pursuit Of the enemy from the Tallahatchie
to- offeeville, he captured more than FIVE
hundred prisoners; and in the many skir-
mishes in which he had command, was
uniformly successful.
Col. Lee is a native of New York, and
was a graduate of Union College, of the class
of 1853. In 1857 he became resident of
Kansas, where he was one of the original
proprietors of the town of Elwood. When
Kansas was admitted he was elected Judge
of one of her circuitsj but as soon as the
war broke out be resigned, and Was com.
missioned as major in the 18th Kansas CAT
airy. Last spring ne was promoted to tie
colonelcy Of the same regiment, and since
September he has been in command of a
brigade Of cavalry. He first discovered
and communicated to Rosencrans the
movement of Price through Ripley upon
Corinth in October, and after the desperate
battle led the pursuit of the retreating reb-
els to Hickory Flats. Since the movement
Of Grants army from Grand Junction be-
gan, be has led the van, with eminent skill
and courage. He has already been men
ton in high quarters as an officer worthy of
Brigadier's commission.-Mo. Democrat.

TheLand of Gold.

Secretary Chase, In his annual report
thus speaks of the mineral resources of the
United States:
But the American Republic possesses
immense resources which have not yet been
called into contribution. The gold bearing
region of the United States stretches through
near eighteen degrees of latitude, from Brit,
ish Columbia on the North, to Mexico on
the South, and through more than twenty
degrees of longitude, from the eastern de-
clivities of the Rocky Mountains to the Pa
ci6c ocean. It includes two States, Cali
fornis and Oregon; four entire Territories,
Utah, Nevada. New Mexico and Washing
ton, and parts of three other territories,
Colorado, Nebraska and Dakota 1t forms
an area of more than 3 million Of sGharS
miles. the whole of which, with compare
lively Insignificant exceptions, is the proper
ty of the nation. 1t is rich, not only in
gold, but in silver, copper, iron, lead, and
many other valuable minerals. It's product
in gold and silver during the current year
will not much, if at all, probably fall short
of 500, OOO,O 900; and it must long continue
gradually, yet rapidly, to increase. If this
product be subjected to reasonable seighs
iorage,as suggested by some, or if, as sugges-
ted by others, the mineral lands be subdivi-
ded and sold in convenient parcels, with
proper reservations in favor of the miners
now in occupation of particular localities,
very considerable revenue may, doubtless
be obtained from this region without hard
ship to the actual settlers aud occuplers.

"A Family State.

We often talk about family men," but
the fact is not so often noticed that we
have family State. The State of Mains
has in all light Representatives and Sena-
tors. Of these, not less than fire belong to
two families. The Washburnes used to hail
from Maine, and much was said of Che large
number of that family that got into Con-
gress; but the Fessendens and Morrills can
more than furnish parallel. Maine now
has three Fessendens, all brothers, in her
delegation. Senator VIM. Pitt Fessenden
everybody knows. His brother, Samuel C.
Fessenden, has been Representative here
from the first session of the present Con-
gress. And now, to fill vacancy recently
occasioned, T. A. D. Fessenden, third
brother, and from a different part of the
State from either of the others comes as
another Representative. Who shall say that

THE LIGHT HOUSE KEEPER.-A distin-
guished traveller narrates the following incl
dent: being at Calais, I climbed up into the
lighthouse and conversed with the keeper.
Suppose said I, that one of these lights
should go out q Never impossible ! he
cried with sort of CONSERVATION at the
hypothesis. Sir said he, pointing to the
ocean, 'yonder, where nothing can be seen,
there are ships going by to every part Of
the world. If, tonight, one of my burners
were to go out, within six months would
come letter, perhaps from India, perhaps
from America, perhaps from some place i
never heard of, saying. on such night, the
Waterman neglected his post, and vessels
were in danger. All sir, sometimes in the
dark nights, in the stormy weather, look
to sea, and feel as if the eye of the whols
world was looking at my light. Go out!

Washington, says that his two regiments of
colOred troops have rendered him very great
service, and have enabled him to do much
more than he could have accomplished with

lars, the proceeds of coH6scation of rebfs
property.
