lead, near this place, crushed a few days ago,

ed upwards of seven dollars. This Company
is called the Atlantic Quartz Mining Company,
and their lead iS about one mile east of the old
Psciic lead, famous in its day for its richness.
The groupings have been traced five hundred
feet, and specimens taken from different parts
of the lead are all of extraordinary richness.
The specimens have nearly all been taken from
the surface. The wall rock in the tunnel is
estimated to be worth fifteen hundred dollars.
The company is composed of eight partners,
claiming eighteen hundred feet, two hundred
feet for each partner. and four hundred for the
discoverer. They have taken out enough spec.
linens already to defray their expenses in pros
pecting the claim tborougbly.

GooD.-Wc are gratifed to state that all the
gold-bearing quartz leads in this vicinity
prospect well and promise to pay largely. In
few months we expect to see a number OF
quartz mills in operation and all doing pay
ing business. Companies from San Francisco
and Sacramento have been here for months
prospecting different veins, and are satisfied Of
their richness and are making arrangements to
put up mills and work them. The Harmon,
El Dorado, New York aud Massasoit are all
rich aud we'll defined leads, and rock crushed
from each of them, we understand, averaged
from hundred to two hundred and fifty dol
lars . ton. Companies are running tunnels
into quartz hill, with fair prospect Of striking
rich vein. The hill is literally covered with
quartz, in all of which small particles. of gold
have been found.

BEAR IT IN MISD. .-Bedf it in mind, cit
izens of El Dorado, that the man who al
leges that the Administration is the Gov
ernment is a fool or scoundrel, and
should be treated as such. An effort is
being made by the hirelings of those in
power, to educate the people in the belief
that opposition to the Administration is
opposition TO the Government. Sh0nld
such belief become prevalent the Abo'
Iiton traitors who now administer the
Government would soon become the mas
ters of the people and rob them of their
liberties, and pcrpetuate the supremacy
Of the Abolition party. The man who
calls the Administration the Government
is fit tool Of deSpotsm, an enemy of his

Iainy. Mark such things-they are too

Army Of the Potomac.

The report here few days since, that
the Army had crossed The Potomac, fought
a tevere battle, and that General Hooker
was mortally wounded, was unfounded and
premature. 1t appears the Army had
marching orders, about the middle of last
week, and--as it rainea almost incsssantly
for some three days-wc stuck in the
mud, and it is believed, they have now re-
turned to their quarters. This is the sub
stance ol our information.
Cen. FuENs1DE however has teen
superseded by Gen. HOOKER. This does
not betoken an early movement. It savors
more of retrograde march,
Go d grant, that if cur brave soldiers
are again to take tie Geld, they nay be
victorious, and not be led into the Jaws of
death, without the hope of success, as
they recently were at Fredericksburg.

are quite sure we could not publish any,
thing more valuable or interesting than
CHS powerful speech, one Of the ablest
ever delivered in the Halls Of Congress
even in its palmieSt days of its intellectual
glory. 1t is a speech which would add to
The fame of a Clay, or Webster, or a
Burke, or a Chatham. In style, it is
worthy of Macaulays finest composition.
1t is speech that ought to be read by
every citizen of the United States, and
especially by those who have been opposed
to Mr., NALLANDIGuAM They will dis
cover in it force of reasoning, a richness
OF historical Illustration and depth Of patri.
o.ism, that they cannot bu. recognize and
admire in the fullest sense. This speech
must produce a great effect upon public
opinion and do much towards closing the
war or concluding an armistice.
