Gold Quartz In Western Pennsylvania


Evidences OF the Development of q rich gold
qnnEtZ vein in Greene county accumulate.
Capt. II. G. Corey, Of this county, opc-
rating In the Dunkard region for the Maple
Farm Oil Company, called ut the office Of The
Commercial yesterday afternoon, accompanied
exhibited specimens OF the quartz taken from
the Cowen Oh well, on Jacob Cowc1l's farm,
Meadow Run. These specimens were taken
from depth OF five hundred and fifty fee, ,nnd
are exceedingly rich. Nj. Corey will take these
specimens, together with barrel ofthe boar
iugs Of tho well, 10 the United States Mint at
Philadelphia, where he will hare them assayed
By the proper officer. The gold quartz obtained
from the Keener Well was found at depth Of
six hundred and ffty feet and seven hundred
feet, while TINT found In the Cowelt well Vas
obtained at depth Of five hundred and fny
feet. Tie difference in the depth at which
the quartz wns found In these wells Is ex-
situated about one hundred and fifty feet
higher than Dunkard Creek, and twenty-five
feet above the Cowe1l farm. That the same
vein has been struck In both wells, although
two miles apart, Is altogether probable, and
the arrangements now being made to test the
depth Of the VEN In each Of the wells will
coon determine that question. The Cowell

existence Of the vein and Its depth from the
surtace.
III. Corey states that the excitement created
by the discovery is great and increasing, the
audboIders In the neighborhood Of the wells
demanding fabulous prices for their farms.
They imagine that their farms ate underlald
with gold, aud hold them fur abogo oil prices.
One firm ot fifty acres, not In the immediate
vicinity Of the lucky wells, was leased ieW
: days since for one~eighth Of the mineral and
oil, and 81 500 bonus.

ed mparatively little from the war
should be so much more bitter in their
feelings to the rebels than the loyal peo-
pie of the border slave states are, we are
unable to divine. The Saint Louis Dis
patch, paper that has steadily supported
the administration in its efforts to crush
the rebellion, and which is also an able
expounder of anti-slavcry principles,
discourses as follows:
ITO us the white people of the South,
though lately insurgent, are still Ameri-
cans of the same race, blood and language
with ourselves. Way, thy are d, fact
oar near kinsmea, and may claim the hos
pitality of kinsmen from their conqucrors
when the Israclites had sufficiently pun
ishcd the Benjamites for the cruel out,
rage which a few young men of that tribe
had inflicted upon the concubine of Lee
vite temporarily sojourning in one of
sheir cities, they remembered that the
beaten Benjamites were their brethren
children of the same ancestors and one of
the twelve tribes. The reflection disarm-
ed item of their wrath. and they imme
diately set to work to heal the wounds
which their just fury had inflicted, and
restore Benjamin to his ancient dignity
equality, and power. The people of the
South are our brethren. We had to for,
get that they were our brothers, during
the war; but it becomes us to remember it
now, when we are asked, after vanquish-
ing them. to place them under the feet of
a race which has all the CALLING memories
of recent survitude to goad them to 4 re-
mOrseless use of their new power. 1t
would indeed be a spectacle of perfect ret
ribution to give the ballot to the blacks
that they might make slaves Of their late
masters; but let us beware how we de-
mand that perfect retribution be meted
cut to others. We are not altogether
sinless in this matter. We oursclrcs hIp-
Ell to caS'orc tie negroes Of the SouM,-
lie brought them from Africa, placed tet-
ters on their limbs, sold them to Southern
masters, and legai.zed tie iai9uty in tie
Constitution of IT, Inted States. We in,
what we vain gloriously called the spirit
of liberty, abolished slavery in Pennsyl-
yania, New York, Connecticut and other
Northern States; but are sold oar SHARES to
the Souh for a prize.
These ale ugly facts, and we would rath-
er forget them, in counting up the wick
edness of, and the responsibility for, slave
ry. But it is necessary to remember
them, in computing our share in the in
iquity."

out. The cause, or causes. for this result
We may take occasion hereafter to vcntl-
late; in the meantime it is enough to state
that as soon as some of the ultra, radical
abolitionists found that democrats were
taking part in the affair, they at once
subsidized, and did all they could to throw
cold water on the enterprise. They were
like the dog in the mangeij would neither
take part themselves nor allow others to
do SO if in their power to prevent it. The
democrats finding this state of feeling
concluded that it was best not to nave a
demonstration that could be construed in
to partizan affair, and SO gave up the
celebration. We do not envy the feelings
of man or set Of men whose patriotism is
confined to mere party channels, and who
feel so very uncomfortable in respectable
society

Death Of MIR. Edmund RuiiiiD

We are distressed to see by the
Richmond papers, that this remarkable
and high-souled Virg:nian committed
suicide, few days since, at Danville UNI
able, as he declared, to outline the loss of
liberty in the grand old commonwealth he
loved so well. Mr.. Rufin was OF the old
rebel and heroic school of Washington,
Henry and Marshall, but he was also one
of the most progressive and advanced men
of the day, and did more for the agricul-
tural Improvement of Virginia, and per-
haps of the whole country, than any 9TH
err man Of this generation. He never was
q disunionist. indeed, was one Of the truest
and soundcst Union men in the land, and
it was only when the common government
of the State was usurped by the Abolition
faction, and war was forced on the South,
that he, with molliops of other good and
true men, were forced into resistance. 1t
is an awful trial for Virginia, it is true,
the proud old State whose sons made the
Union all it was, to now lie PROSTATE at
the ieet of New England Federalists and
lunatic Abolitionists, but she will yet
emerge from her despair and degradation,
and, we doubt not, become even more
glorious in the future than when she
trained her Washingtons, Jcifersons,
Clays and Monroes for the common coun-
try.
1t is very sad that man Ike Mr.. Ruff
fin should take his own life, but like Cato
and the grand cid Romans &C the antique
would, it was but an excess Of that senti-
ment of exalted and heroic patriotism
which creates great States, and that has
made Virginia the land of heroes and of
statcsmen.-N. /. Day Book.
