A MINING INclDENr.-Near the County seat of the adjoining County of Berkshire Mass, mine of iron ore has been worked fol many years. A perpendicular shaft has been sunk down some 60 feet, from which a wide and deep veia of the mineral extends under the village : this vein has been followed by the method called tunneling (excavating under the surlace) and in consequence of the recent high prices and great demand for iron, this vein has been followed till the tunnel had nearly reached point, and to great depth, over which stood the County buildings, &c., when suddenly, the miners received a command by authority from above, to cease digging, or the Jail Jailor and Jail birds, Courthouse, Judge and Jury, lawyers, parties, sheriffs, &c.. would all be down upon their heads at once. The un' der workers of course obeyed, lest their tunnel might in that event resemble the Frenchman < pudding which tasted and looked like every thing because it had every thing in it, and up on reaching and ascending the shaft aud walk ing up to town, they found that house near the above mentioned buildings had sunk down abont four feet, At last adyices, however, both tunnel and buildings remained stationary.

Again call for Volunteers to a;d in the 1 final suppression of tie rebellion is issued hy the President of the United States Coming as it does. while the country is satisfied that General Grant has his iron hand upon the throat of the Confederacy, and the vast Con spiracy is growing blacker and blackcr in the face with every days grip We believe that this call will be promptly and checrtully met, and the quota demanded from this State rapidly filed
 We presume the exact figures giving the quota demanded from each town, together with the credits to which these towns are en- titled by previous cnlistments, in excess of their former quotas, will be immediately Ero- mulgAted by the Adjutant Genera! of the State. There are several. towns in our county Nitch field among them.) which have already an cx- cess on previous calls so large that the present call will faIl but lightly upon them there are one or two still largely in arrears even upon former calls Fifty days from the date of the Presidents proclamation are given for volun- tary cnstmcnts, at the expiration o which a draft is ordered to take place to fill any def cency that may exist in any town in the County or State.
 It will be well, therefore, for each town to set about tlIe matter of filling their quota at once. Town meetings should be called, and arrangements made for the prompt enlistment l of lYoluntecrs Should the Fifth of September finds Us still in arrears it will be remembered that Congress has repealed the communication act, and substitutes for drafted men will at once command higher figure than ever before We have liile doubt, however, but that the quota of cur State will be promptly raised be- fore the expiration of the allotted time, not only in view of the large Government and State bcuntics offered for recruits, but in view also, of the present state of the rebellion which all signs bctokcn is very near its final collapse and suppression.
