LAKE SUPERIOR SILvER.-Evidences of the
richness of the silver deposits in the Lake
Superior country seem to be constantly accu-
mulating. The Houghton Gazette, of Nov.

- George P. Cummings, Esq, hiss opened a
vein this week on section Is, town -, north
Of range &c west, a section that has fallen to
the Bay de y. x VI. r. r. we believe. from
which he las brought in one hundred pounds
of extremely rich ore, some of the specimens
weighing from FIVE 10 ten pounds and almost
pure. The ore Is a bright steel color, indica-
ting a high per cent. OF silver The vein at
the point at which the blasting was done, is
about two feet wide. The richness with which
the veins open Is most astonishing, exceeding
anv deposits Of the kind ever before known.
Sufficient openings have been made in differ

Come days ago We published a very affect
ing letter of Capt Sawyer, q Union officer, in
the Libby prison, under sentence of death, TO
his wife, urging her to come and see him be
fore his execution. The Richmond Examiner
OF the 25th ult. contains the following article,
which is evidence bcforct the world of the petty
mallgnity and atrocious vindictiyencgs Of the
Southern leaders, sufficient to cover them with
infamy. II says:
Mrs. Sawyer, wife of Capt. Henry w. Saw
yer Of New jersey, one of the prisoners held
Tor the retaliatory execution, on arriving at
City Point, on the flag Of truce boat, made
application to the Confederates authorities to
be permitted to visit Richmond for the pur-
pose of having an interview with her hus-
band before his execution but the authorities
denied her permission, and she returned on
the spme boat. Courtcsics Of this kind have
bcenso invariably denied residents of the Con
fedeIpcy, desiring to visit the north to look
after fricnds and property, that the Govern
mcntwas influenced to the degree Of denying
the courtesy in this instance, as it will in ali
others pr q like nature that may arise. When
