SIR-Mr. George S. Hunt has appealed from
your decision assessing duty, at the rate of
pne dollar per pound and ten per cent. ad valo-
rem, under sectien ] of the tariff act of July
IA, 1862, on certain cigars imported by him in
The bark st. Jago from Havana and claims that
the cigars in question cost in part $40 and in
part $50 per thousand, and are entitled to en-
Try as cigars valued at over ten and not over
.wenty dollars, and are subject to duty of
eighty cents per pound, and ten per centum
I'D yalorem.
1t appears by the invoices that the dutiable
charges are not included in the prices named.
These charges, however, together with the
Export duty, :andi the usual charge for COM
mission, must be added to the total amount of
me invoice in order to ascertain the true val
uation.
According to this rule, the Cigars in both
Instances are properly valued at over 500 per

Bangor never had her capacity to stake inn

large company that made as short cut as
possible for the Exchange, not doubling that

COPPER.

We learn from gentlemen who have lately
visited the mines in Campo Seco, that the
copper mines of that famous district are con-
stantly improving; three Of them are raising
and shipping the finest qualities Of ore. Par
ties are PROSPECTING for odes in the neighbour
hood with every probability of ultimate sue
cess. 1t is now pretty generally believed
that copper cannot be found near the surface,
and companies are sinking their shafts to
the depth Of from one hundred to two hun,
dred feet before they lose confidence in their
work. If found, a good claim is fortune
to the lucky miner, and will be permanent
source Of wealth to the community. Unlike
the early surface gold diggings, which gener-
ally gave out by the time town had been
burned out once or twice, copper district
will warrant business men in putting up fire.
proof buildings, and insure permanancy to
even n California population. Among the
claims which are now being prospected, with
strong assurances Of eventually finding ore,
are the 40 and Jefferson, Dixie, Omaha, Cerl
isco, Hazel Dell, those owned by the Gala.
veras company, besides several others which
have escaped our memory. We hope some
of our friends III Campo Seco will send US an
account and give descriptions of the several
prominent claims in that vicinity. The at
tenton of capitalists, during the coming
Winter, will be attracted towards the copl
per claims of this county. Owing to the Sc
verify Of the climate on the other side OF
the mountains, in the Reese River, Hum.
bcldt or Silver Mountain districts, and dur.
ing the rainy season, hundreds of returned
silver miners will find employment among
our copper lodes. Capital cannot find any
safer investment than in copper; besides
there is not the risk nor uncertainty tina,
there seems to be in prospecting for silver
the indications are palmer for copper than
for silver, and once the ore is struck, specu
laton ceases, for the reality is pal pable to all
observers. We are only surprised that
monied men have not already paid more at
tention to copper. But the reason is plain
enough to those who have witnessed the ali
most frenzied excitement which has been
raised about the fabulous silver mines which
are supposed to exist beyond the Sierra Ne
vadas. About two years ago, eleven shares
in the Union copper mine, at Copperopolis
were sold for fftyfve thousand dollars
which, at the time, was considered an enor,
nous price for copper lode; the same could
not be purchased to-day for one million o.
dollars. Other claims will be discovered in
the county as rich as that, but it will take
time and money to develop them.

California and Oregon Railroad.

Mr.. Elliott, who is experimenting the
preliminary survey of n route for railroad
between the Sacramento valley and some
suitable point for a northern terminus in
Oregon, arrived here on Monday, and in.
forms us that his party is now in Douglas
county, coming toward the Willamette val
Icy as rapidly as is consistent with thorough
exploration of the route. We also learn
from him that steps have been taken by some
Of the most enterprising citizens Of Southern
Oregon, to effect the organization of COM
many, in this State, to operate in connection
with that which is to be formed in Califor.
mia, for the purpose Of securing the favorable
action and patronage of Congress, and if
obtained, Of Immediately commencing the
building of the road. A meeting of stock
holders has been called at Jacksonville. to
be held on the 7th Of November, for the
election Of directors. and the California
stockholders will meet at Yreka, an the 9th
Of November, for the same purpose; after
which, doubtless, both companies will har
moniousy cooperate for the accomplish
ment of the magnificent and most important
work, which they take upon themselves.

NUMBER Il.
Our State Finances.

Our State is getting in bad way finan
cially. The wheels Of Legislation, for the
two past sessions, have been run or "borrow-
ed capital" But the Swamp Land Fund has
been finally absorbed. There will not be
money enough in the General Fund, on the
meeting of the Legislature to pay ordinary
expenses for three weeks. When that little
is exhausted we do not know what the mem.
bers will fall back on. Possibly the Legis.
aturs will have been in session long enough
to derive means Of raising the wind" But
the floating debt against the General Fund
is said to be half million Of dollars, and
that warrants on this Fund are worth less
than Treasury notes. The Union of yester.
day, in discussing the dilapdatsd state of the
Treasury says:
"The half million it owes ough. either to
be refunded, or be absorbed by issuing GER
tfcates Of Indebtedness drawing specified
rate of interest, and then special tax lev
led expressly to pay those certificates. Let
the tax be so gradual as to pay them in two
or three years-if the burden should prove
too heavy for one. Or, if bonds were issued,
let them be provided for in a similar man
ner. When the warrants on the General
Fund were provided for to a certain date,
the State would once more be in position
to again commence specie payments As
the matter now stands she has literally susl
pended payment. If it was then thought
advisable to create n Salary Fund, State
Prison Fund, etc. it could be done with en-
tire safety" Some action must be taken.
and that, too, after the legislature convenes."
To fund the warrants would be very ur Just
to their holders, and the issuing of certificates
would only be for the benefit Of parties who
would receive cash on their warrants during
the time in which the old warrants would
be maturing. 1t would force the present
creditors of the State to wait a year for the
collection of a tax to meet their demands
and in the mean time new warrant holders
would be drawing their money. Let the
State increase its taxes trihe, and not adopt
the principle of preferred creditors. Let
warrants be paid in the order of registry,
and no jumping. If a man has waited
year for his money, we can see no justice in
compelling him to wait another year.

ence to the rules of the Supreme Court con-
cerning the time when remittturs may issue
in cases dismissed for want of prosecution
The following rule and order of the Court

cause so dismissed may be restored during
the same term, upon good cause shown, on
notice to the opposite party, and unless SO
restored, the dismissal shall be final, and a
bar to any other appeal 10 the same cause.
An order, made October 22d 1853, subj

is as follows.
1t is ordered, that in all cases Of dismissal
for want of prosecution, remittiturs shall

tai to even we'll understood undertakings at,
temped in untred localities and under ordi,
nary changes of circumstances. The intro,
duction of new industry into the State,
and one of SO great Importance and com
plexity as the one just initiated, is not to be
thought and the exercise of the most mature
judgment.
Too much credit cannot be given to the
indefatigable secretary Of this company, r..
w. Emerson, Esq, who has conceived and
brought to a successful state this important
enterprise
The stockholders of this company are not
the OILY parties who are interested in a ia.
vorable result. The entire California public
are watching with much interest the develop
ment which his company is making in a
branch Of industry which, if successful, will
open up an almost iimitable field for the
employment of capital, and add millions o.
dollars to the value Of most important class
of mines, which are just now beginning to be
opened up among US.
There are numerous mines of low and pc.
culiar grades of ores already opened and to
be yet discovered, which can never have any
value except upon the hypothesis that the ore
can be smelted here. Every mine property
is interested in the present experiment, as
there is no mine which does not turn out
much ore that will never pay either for ship
ment or transportation. The pioneers in
this enterprise may be considered in the light
