OF that 9l0,000,000 mine consists alone in the
improvements which have been made for working
it. We have recently conversed with gentlemen
who were intimately connected with the Sheba
mine up to a late date and. who pronounce it the

The following extract contains that singular
mixture of truth and error for which one natu-
rally looks in an American letter to the London
Times:
To this very hour there remains large loyal
Northern party in the United States, which
stantly asserts, in newspapers and private life,
that the war was an unrighteous one, that it
ought never to have been waged, that the princi
pie of State rights gave the South full liberty to
secede, that the Constitution has been violated
and that slavery is not abolished. \ very large
section OF the party called Democratic and
which aspires to rule the next elections and
seems likely to do so, maintain these opinions.
