important if True"--.A New Process for
Disintegrating and Desulphurizing Ores.

Some Of the Eastern papers have recently
been very much exercised over an alleged
discovery for dsiutegrating and desulphuri'
zing gold, silver and copper ores. The dis
covery is said to have been made BY chem
ist at Chicago, who has sold it to party at
Cairo. 1t is claimed that it must work an
entire revolution in quartz mining A co.'s
respondent of the Colorado Mining Register,
writes TO that paper, from Cairo, under date
Of February 7th as follows
II had a talk with one Of the parties
few days since. He told me the result Of
their experiments. The hardest rock is made
SO soft that it can be puIverized by the finger
as fine as dust. The action Of the agents
are said to be neither chemical nor mechani
cal, but Of two opposing forces Of nature,
that are we'll understood as simple as could
we'll be imagined; that the necessary mate
rial is abundant everywhere and cannot cost
more than one dollar per ton Of quartz. He
told me that it was thoroughly tested in
Chicago, before scientific men and practical
miners, among whom were two men who
represented a company and had recently
came from Idaho to purchase mill, and on
witnessing the experiments they Immediately
abandoned the mill arrangement they had
been making, and offered ten thousand dol
lars for a knowledge Of the secret. The
parties have gone to New York to present it
there, and one OF them told me lie intended
to 90 from there to California"
From subsequent number Of the Regis
ter, it appears that one Of the parties con.
nected With the alleged discovery, has visited
New York, and exhibited the working OF the
process to the Board OF Brokers Of that city,
when it created considerable interest. 1t
was tried on some Of the Colorado ores,
which were in New York at that time, and
the ores afterwards returned to Colorado
These ores had been seen and examined by
the editor of the Register, who does not ap-
pear to think the process fully satisfactory,
as the ore is neither thoroughly desul phur-
ICED or properly crushed. lie nevertheless
much so that he thinks it might readily be
completed by tue ordinary pan process. The
party who communicates the facts in New
York, says that fire and water are used in
the process, and one other element or ingre-
dient which is the secret; but the article is
easily obtained almost anywhere, at trif1ng
expense. Estimated cost, one dollar per
ton"
We unite with the Register in the hope
that the discovery or invention may succeed,
but we have very little faith in the belief
that crushers, stamps and roasting furnaces
will be thrown aside for some time to come.
We shall place all future developments before
our readers as fast as they may lranspire;
and whenever the discovery is put to a fair.
practical test, we shall take the greatest
pleasure in placing the fact before our nu
merous and intelligent readers.

That Little Story"

The Washington correspondent Of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican has the fol-
lowing in reference to how Mr.. Lincoln's ia
nous "litlle story" was told to the rebel
Peace Commissioners:
When Mr.. Lincoln came back from bis
interview With the rebel Peace Commission
ers, worthy correspondent from Washing
ton asserted in one Of bis letters that the
President told Aleck Stephens one Of bis lit.
tie drol stories. 1t was generally supposed
that this was pleasant fiction, but chance
to know that it was the actual truth. Says
Stephens: Suppose your constitutional
amendment be adopted by three-fourths Of
the State Legislatures"
"Then slavery will be abolished in every
part OF the country" replies Mr. Lincoln.
sand what are we to do" asked Stephens,
''if We are to consent to Teconstructionl l
know that negroes will not work, unless
forced 10 it, and toll you that we shall all
starve together. This is a mere suppositious
case, but if it were reality, what are we to
do?"
Lincoln grew merry-eyed at once. "It
reminds me Of a story" said he, and then
told the old story ending with the sentence
"Root hog. or die" The Southern people
can 90 to work like honest people or starve.
After little while Aleck Stephens told
story. "Many years ago." said he, "a host
Of Congressman were discussing the proper
pronunciation of the name OF your State
illinois. 1t was in the old Hall of Repre-
sentatives, in the lobby, where we have both
spent many pleasant hours, and several Of
the Illinois delegation were present. Some
of the members asserted that the proper pro-
nuncialon WAS "IlIinoy"-others called it
'Illinoise' John Quincy Adams was called
in to decide the disputed point. If one were
to judge from the character OF the represen,
tatives in this Congress from that State, said
the old man, with malicious smile, i should
decide that the proper way to pr, nouuce the
word would be 'All noise" The President,

hearty laugh, even from the sedate Mr.. Hun

What Does It Meant

The London Times Of the 9Th of March.
in an editorial on the war in America. says:
"We seem TO have arrived at that turning
point of the American war which brings US,
as it were, in sight Of the final scene, and
the part we shall be called on to play in IT,"
Does this mean that the English Govern.
ment will intervene TO prevent union of
the North and South, now that the South
shows signs Of exhaustion, and is about to
abandon the contest for independence We
have all along thought that recognition
by England and France would come to tbe
South only at the last moment-wben her
Government and people we're weak and des-
perate enough to accept their independence
upon any terms that might be dictated BY
those powers, rather than be subiugated BY
the North and governed as rebellious sub.
jects-and we have urged that they be con.
cilated and brought back into the Union,
with all their constitutional rights, as the
only way TO prevent the evil designs of
Europe from being carried out. We believe
it TO be the intention Of the above named
powers to prevent a union of our discordsnt
States as matter Of vital interest TO them
selves, and should they intervene to prevent
ito which the above extracts points, in
our opinion-the knell of the Union is SCUM.
ded-our separation is final and eternal.
Statesmen are needed in this crisis to avert
this deadly blow at our very existence as
nation. Where are theyl

Mr.. Creeley's Niagara Falls Peace Negotia.
fiona.

The New York correspondence OF the ).
F. Bulletin has the following in reference
to Horace Greeley's peace negotiations at
Niagara Falls last summer.
Through the Manchester (Eng) Examiner
Of late date we are furnished with copy
Of Mr.. Greeley's letter to President Lincoln,
written after the famous Peace Conference Of
last summer at Niagara Falls, and embody
ing what is presumed to be the propositions
then and there agreed upon. 10 calling the
Presidents attention to the propositions, Mr..
Greeley ventures TO remind him that "our
bleeding, bankrupt, almost dying country
longs for peace, shudders at the prospect Of
fresh conscriptions, Of wholesale devasta.
tions, and Of new rivers Of human blood,
and wide spread conviction that the Cow
ernment and its prominent supporters are
not anxious for peace, and do not improve
proffered opportunities to achieve it, is doing
great harm now, and is morally certain,
unless removed, to do far greater in the
approaching elections" This language is
somewhat in the Copperbead vein, and its
tone probably accounts for the fact that the
letter was seduously withheld from publca-
ton on this side, so that we are indebted to
an English tory journal for its production
in print. Below is given the "Plan of Ad-
justment," which the letter submitted to Mr..
Lincon's approval. One Of its propositions,
namely, that which provides for the payment
Of four hundred millions to the shareholders
for the loss Of their slaves, will strike the
reader as very singular one to come from
man Of Mr.. Greeley's antecedents:
PLAN OF ADJUSTMENT.
l. The Union is restored and declared
perpetual.
2. Slavery is utterly and forever abolished
throughout the same.
8. A complete amnesty for all political
offences, with restoration OF all the inhab
tants Of each State to all the privileges Of
citizens of the United States.
4. The Union to pay four hundred million
dollars ($4oo, ,ooO, ,ooo) in five per cen, Unit
ed States stock to the late slave States, oya
and secession alike, TO be apportioned prt

"As Parson Brownlow is now Governor Of

should make some attempt to infuse little
moderation into his language and demeanor.
A great many things that were pardonable

therefore, earnestly entreat the Parson, il
