sTAe Alps Tunnel. !.

Z; K sssssss The Alps Tunnel. - ~ {.
Some Of the French and Italian
journals aud the! New York World are
just now regaling their readers with q
very long account Of the discovery Of
incalculable mineral and metallic
wealth in the bowels OF the Alps. It
macks, however, snspiciously of the
flavor of John Adams Locke's immor-
tai "Moon Hoax" and Edgar Allan
Poe's tale'of the "Gold Bug" For
the last seven years, company of
capitalists have been engaged in the
gigantic enterprise of cutting a rail-
road tunnel, seven miles and half
long. through the Alps It is to effect
q junction between certain French
and Piedmont lines of railroad, and
runs between. the opposite valleys of
the Ave and Rochemolles. Three
miles and half of the tunnel have
already been completed, and the work
is to be finished by 1873.
The Edinburgh Recier, for May
last, devotes many pages to scientific
account of the naod,1s ope,a,adi of cut
ting, this huge tunnel. The driving
power employed is air compressed by
water, which forces from separate
pistons as many as nine perforaters,
adze sharpened, and these drill the
blasting holes, which are afterwards
blown out with powder, and then the
large fssure is again mined and e1-
ploded. The water and air are sup
Piled by long pipes, and the whole
line of work was lit up by thousands
of jets of gas, like the streets of
great city. This work has for years
excited the most lively interest among
the sovereigns of the italian States
and the Emperor of France. No great
national work of modern times was
ever. until very recently, pushed for
ward with greater energy. Suddenly,
however, and without the slightest
notice or explanation, this great work
has been suspended, and a mystery as
profound as the secrets of the spirit
world broods over the abandoned
work. This mystery Mr.. Entiwisle,
an American, who holds some official
position in Europe, undertakes to
explain, and fortifes his marvellous
statement with a number of afidavits.
He states that the work has been
stopped in consequence of the sud
den discovery by the workmen of
gold and precious stones in such
quantities as to make the discoveries
OF Sinbad the Sailor, and the wealth
revealed by the wonderful lamp of
Aladdin, very tame affairs.
One Of the workmen swears that on
the 10th of August last, about seven
o'clock IN the evening, the workmen
encountered a strata of rock so hard
. that 1t crushed all their drills in
moment. They then resorted to the
blast, and terrible explosion fol-
lowed, which shattered the otherwise
lmpenetrable curtain of rock, and
revealed to the astonished miners an
atfiuence OF mineral wealth which no
human eye ever before beheld. There
were heaps Of topaz as large as hens
eggs, gold in vast Quantities, bushels
eof diamonds, sapphires, beryl, and
we know, not what other precious
stones. AS soon as this discovery
was made the authorities caused all
the workmen to be removed, and the
work suspended, and the affidayits

in company with him. and twenty two of them
had died. principally at that prison. He said SIX
men were shot at different times. tvo Of whom

New York Democratic state Con.
yention.

ALBANY, n Y, Sept 5.-The Democratic
Convention which opens here to morrow, has al
ready attracted large crowd of outsiders to the
Capital and the interest evinced in the cause of
the different candidates is warm. Two-thirds of
the delegates and alternates have arrived, and
the morning bosts and early trains to morrow
will bring the remainder.
There is not much talk about the platform,
but it will be short and moderate.
The following is the spirit of the main resolu-
t0ns: 1t will fully and earnestly endorse Presi-
dent Johnson's reconstruction policy; it will
approach the question of the national debt eau
tiously, Dledging the party, however, to its alb
soute payment. but insisting upon the most
general and equal taxation; it will take ground
in favor of leaving the negro suffrage question
to the States concernei-although there are dele
gates who are disposed to pronounce against ne
gro suffrage under any and all circumstances.
As the evening wears the canvass for
certain ones of the candidates grows spirited
| The most prominent mentioned to night are
| for Secretary of State. Geo. Morzone. for
Comptroller, Luca. Robinson; for Canal Com
mssioners, @ NJ Armstrong, of Albany and
| Col. Summons, OF Montgomery; for State En-
gneer, 5. Il Sweet and Mr.. Fay; for Trea-
surer, Col T. Vanburen of Orange; Attorney
! General. Samuel j. Tilden, of New
York City; Clerk of Court OF Appeals Col
TOnbrock, of Albany; Gen Josiah L Miller, OF
| Seneca, and Mr. Classibro, of Ontario Inspec-
tors of the State Prisons; Gaylord j. Clark, of
Niagara; Col MeNett, of Albany; Belch, of the
Orleans Republican. Judges of the Court OF
| Appeals. Hon. NJ GissoD and Hon. w. Talber
of New ork, and Judge Hand. Of Essex. Judge
Allen, however, positively declines being a can
didste, and if the Brooklyn delegation fails to
present the name OF Judge Scott, Judge Hand
will most likely be placed on the ticket for the
| short form II Etov1 1onn, 4. alsn mon
toned for Secretary of State.
The Journal says Mr.. Robinson won't accept
but those Democrats urging his nomination in
sist he won't decline. Some opposition is evinced
towards him by those who insist upon the nQmi-
nation of only straight out Democrats.
The strife centers upon the several candidates
for Canal Commissioners, State Engineer, Trea-
| surer and Inspector of State Prison.
| 1t seems to be arranged that only the Tam
many delegation will be admitted from New
York. There are four organizations from the
| city claiming admission.
