THE NEWS

Gloria in excclsiS! The news received
by the morning papers is glorious, and our
dispatch of two days later tells US that the
:. maniac" having captured Savannah with
its hundred and fifty guns and stores in
Vulnerable, has turned hi steps toward
Augusta, and will, after having cleaned
out that town, proceed to do likewise unto
Charleston. Hoods army, without artil-
lery or pontoons, is crowded on the north
side of the Tennessee, in the position of
the man in the song, who "Came to
river and couldn't git across" Thomas
has him now. He must fight or surren-
der The feet is battering away at Viii
mington, and that hole will soon be
blocked. All these things are subjects for
great jubiatiOn with loyal people; but
they are not matter Of the slightest con-
sequence to the rebels and Copperheads.
For does not JEFF. declare that after all
the armies of the South have surrendered,
and all the forts and all the cities shall
have been laid in ashes and in ruin, the
Confederacy will still stand" Yea, verify,
even as we have, in days Of yore, seen
men stand on nothing and stick out their
tongues at the Sheriff.

CALEDONIA MINING CoHPASY.-A meet
ing Of this company was held December 18th,
and the number Of shares of capital stock re-
duced from 5000 to $500. The company is
now in efficient working order, and its future
prospects are satisfactory and encouraging.
The company's ground adjoins the Uncle
Sam mining company on the south, in Gold
Hill, and splendid vein of mineral has re-
Gently been opened on the lode, which prom
Uses rich results upon going down to proper
depth. Work was commenced upon the Gale
donia mine in March, 1861, and over $780,
900 has been expended IN its working. The
tunnel has been run over 1000 feet, and a
large amount Of drifting done. A novel las
well as proftable) feature of this company's
claims is the supply Of water issuing from the
lode through the tunnel, and which is sold to
the neighboring mills at a clean profit of
$50 per month. We cannot but consider
the quiet manner in which this company has
continued its active operations as highly
meritorious, and complimentary to its man
ayers, and confidently anticipate seeing it
assume its proper place among the best min
ing corporations Of our city. Its present
Board OF Trustees consists Of Martin White,

MORE SILVER DIsCovERIEs.-We have
Just hadl the pleasure of conversing with
gentleman from Rush Valley (thirty-eight
miles from Salt Lake City, and are gratified
to learn that new and extensive discoveries
of rich silver ore are daily being made. The
miners about Stockton are not idle, though
winter has closed around us. New leads
have lately been discovered, of equal, if not
greater richness than those already known.
Perhaps the most important item, is the dis
covery in the Quandary lode of native virgin
silver. Although but comparatively little
work has been done on this lode, the finding
of pure metallic silver'so near the surface,
bespeaks the richness Of the claim. We also
learn that the town Of Stockton is prospecting
RAPIDLY. In the middle of August of the
present year, there was not single house
erected-now, four months later, it boasts OF
no less than thirty eight buildings. Some Of
them handsome, and all commodious and
comfortable dwellings. A fine saw-mill has
been completed, and finds a rumunerative
market for the demands of the new town.
The two furnaces for smelling the ore have
been fully completed, and are now ready to
run out the metal from the ore of the ada
cent mines. An arastra and quartz-mlll are
in process of construction, and will soon add
their voices to the busy hum of profitable IN
dustry which now awakes the before silent
mountains of Rush Valley District.-Ve-

APPLICATION OF FIRE TO BREAKING
GRoUND.-Before the application of gun
powder to blasting, it is well known that,
from the most ancient times, fire was largely
employed on the Continent in aiding the
breaking Of ground in mining. 1t has for
some time been considered as thing Of the
past; the last locality where it was employed
being the ancient, and almost classical, RAM
melsberg mine, in the Harz, where the pecu-
liarly tough nature Of the rock gave it un-
usual advantages. This mode Of working
(Which indeed appears never to have been
completely abandoned in Saxony) has, how
ever, recently been resumed, with improve
ments in details, at the st. Christophe pyrites
mine, near Brietenbrunn, under the direction
Of Herr Fickentscher. 1t had already been
attempted, few years ago, by Herr Cloter,
but was abandoned in consequence Of the
great expense of the wood fuel then used.
The i'uel now adopted is Zwickau coke, which
is thus used: Two iron bars, of different d.
ameters, are placed across the level-the
smaller one in advance, so that when the
CRATE (made of bars 20 inches long) is placed
on them, it inclines towards the face Of the
ground to be broken. At distance Of or
10 inches from this face, wall OF refractory
brick is built on the CRATE up to the top Of the
level. The bottom part Of this wall has
openings for the purpose Of lighting the fire,
and towards the top it is provided with air
holes. With a closed fireplace, thus con-
structed, about one schefFel Cd bushels) Of
coke, costing two SCR. (23d), burns through
the entire night, when the wall is removed,
and the whole left to cool, after being sprink-
led with water. About noon the face Of the
rock spontaneously detaches itself, and after
that a farther portion is broken. The effect
Of the fire generally extends to the depth of
eight inches and with one scheffel Of coke,
from l6 to "a cwt Of ore is obtained, at one
half per cent. less cost than it could be
broken with powder.
