Our MINERAL RIcHEs.-In the report
of Judge Edmunds, Of the Land Office,
to the Secretary Of tho Interior, it is stat
ed that prior to the gold discoveries in
California, tho gold product of the world
amounted to only $1s,00o,00O annually,
while that of California alone now ANTS
to $70,o00,o0O. A mining claim con-
sists of one hundred square feet, and if all
the mining lands of California, Nevada
and New Mexico were divided into claims
paying revenue Of per cent. on their
products, an income of SlO,o0O,oOO an
nually would be obtained for the Nation
al Treasury. Some recent discoveries Of
quartz veins have been very profitable, as
the quartz has yielded rs much rs $780,
600 per ton. The report states that the
deeper vein is worked the richer is the
ore. This is in opposition 10 the opinions
Of the most able geologists. California
quartz is therefore an exception to the
quartz of most other countries. The gold
region stretches from 40 degrees north
latitude to 81 deg. 80 minutes, and from
the 1O2d degree of longitude to the Pa
cific ocean.

IMPERIsIIABLE.


Tho pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
Tho impulse to wordless prayer
The dreams Of love and truth.
The lOngings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry;
The striyings after better hopes,
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves tho friend indeed.
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When Justice threatens high,
The sorrow of a contrite heart,
These things can never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
Tho pressure Of kiss,
And all tho trifles, sweet and frnil,
That make up loves first bliss,
If with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have claspod, those lips have
met,
These things shall never dio.
Tho cruel and tho bitter word
That wounded as il fell;
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel but never tell.
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.

WEARY OF LIFE.

Midnight was passed, and the lights Of
the vessels lying at anchor in the stream
were beginning to be extinguished, when
two men hurried from different directions
toward the shore. The elder Of the two
had already reached the strand and was
preparing to take leap, the design of
which was not to be mistaken; but at
that instant the younger seized him by

BoRING FOR WATER.-A news letter
from Corinth, Miss, says that, in conse-
quence of the scarcity of drinkable water
in that neighborhood, The authorities have
been engaged in boring wells to furnish
supply. Three negroes, a mule, two or
three pulloys, with their ropes and tackle
and the simple auger, can " sink well
in a short time. The soil is so free from
sand and gravel that there is no difficulty
in the operation. An auger of three
inches in diameter is first used, and after
wards ono Of eight or nine inches, which
is the final diameter of the well. The
mule, harnessed to huge clevis which
encloscs its body, and is fastened over its
head TO the end of horizontal lever,
raises the augor from the we'll by walking
round in little circle, and thus winding
the rope upon which the auger is sus-
pended, around an upright cylinder
When it is necessary to unwind, the dri-
yer gives the command, haltr and the
mule stops; "turn" and he turns in his
tracks; the cleyis being made so as to
turn where it connects with the lever
When the boring is completed tubing
plank is put down to keep the wall from
crumbling in. The water is then drawn
by long cylindrical bucket open at the
top, and having valve at the bottom
opening upward. Sufficient weight to
sink it is attached TO the bottom. AS il
sinks the water rushcs in through the
valve, which closes as soon as the bucket
begins TO be drawn nm.

Dome of the Capitol at Washington

The National Mtelligencer states that
the great dome Of the capitol, designed
by Thomas u. Walter, and now in course
of construction under his direction, is rap
idly approaching to completion. The
principal frame of the structure has been
finished, the ribs Of the cupola have been
put in place, and the plates, which con-
stitute the outer covering, are being set,
and will be finished before the eud of this
month. After this shall have been done,
nothing will be left to complete the exte-
rior of the dome but the construction OF
the lantern and the placing Of the orria-
monts on the upper windows and around
the spring Of the cupola. These orna-
ments are now being cast, and one of thom
representing honeysucklc, has been
placed in position, and presents a very
handsome appearance. The present hight
of the iron work above the basement floor
of the capitol is two hundred and fifteen
feet, and the hight Of the portion yet TO
be constructed, including the crowning
statue, is about seventy feet. The whole
quantity of iron received from the begin
ming of the work up to the present time
was about seven and q half millions of
pounds, and, according to the estimate of
the architect, about eight hundred thou
sand pounds more will be needed to conf
plete the work. The dome will be crown
ed with Crawford's gigantic and imposing
statue of Freedom" which is nineteen
and half feet high, and weighs about
fifteen thousand pounds. This statue is
made entirely of bronze, and is composed
of five sections. The entire cost of tho
statute was about $4,000. The sum Of
100000 has been appropriated by Con-
gress for the dome, the most of which has
been expended.

~ captured Dumfries, town half way
between Washington and Frederick
They cut the wire and carried off the op

who happened to be in the place, for
what purpose is not known.
Later in the day Gen. Stenwehr, in
command Of Sigers advance, attacked
the rebels. A fight cnsued, the result
and extent of which is not yet known.
In consequence of this occurrence there
was no telegraphic communication with
Burnside during the day. hence the cur
rent rumors that our forces suffered a
repulse.
The wire has since been repaired, and
news received that the main part of
Burnside's forces are over the river.
