Silver in West Virginia.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Evenfno
Transcript, writing from Moorefeld, Hardy
county, furnishes the following account of the
discovery Of sil4er ore in the mountains near
that place. The letter is dated March 2Ist:
'' Extraordinary excitement IS now pre-.
vailing here. Politics have given place TO =
search for the precious metals, which have
been discovered to exist IN large quantities
among the rugged mountains in this vicinity.
Rich specimens Of silver ore are shown, and
large DIS are made for sections of country
which, but short time since, were valueIess
except for the gcrub oak and negro head stone
upon them. Many leads are said to have
been found, which their discoveries feel as
sured will yield full fifty per cent. of virgin
silver. l am told that lease has been efs
fected-b parties from the North upon, G.sec-
tion within mile of this place. at an enor-
nous price, and others have refused still
larger offers for lands in the same vicinity.
A perfect stampede is being made from the
oil regions, in the hope Of; better lack in pros
PectinS for silver ore than oil deposits. The
d discovery, 1t seems, vas made many years
ago by negro, ths slave Of a gentleman near
this place, who tEcr proposed that if his
family and self were get Free he would dis
close the locality where the silver could be
found; this was declined. and the secret was
kept until few years since, wheu,. short
time before his Death, this old negro cons
muncated the secret to his son, and showed
! him the treasure. This son has been absent
during the war, and short time since re-
| turned in company with two men, of much
! experience in such matters, to whom he made
known the existence of the ore, and who had
entered into Arrangement with him by
which he should have fair proportion of the
profits in case of success. These gentlemen
upon visiting the place, in company with the
negro, saw at once, and with astonishment,
the richness of the leads, and without delay
| occurred a lease upon the land. They then
departed, it is thought for New York, but
soon returned, and with others are now hero
exploring in every direction in quest Of new
discoveries, which are said to have been made
in many places. 1 have seen many specimens
of the ore which, from its weight and siIvery
look, 1 should think was rich with the pre-
clous metal. The mineral exists in apparent
seams of the rock, and it is doomed Of .casy
extraction"

We have received catalogue of the MEM

pleased to find it exhibiting such evidences o.
prosperity and extended usefulness. 1t is pre-
sided over by the Rev. Edward Bourns, LII
and is the only Institution Of learning in the
Northern states which adds to the usual col
lece curriculum both complete scientific
course and system of instruction in military
science and tactics. BY the provisions OF It's
charter the students are under military discip-
line, are called cadets, and dress in UNIFORM
Arms and equipments necessary for drills are
furnished by the State of Vermont Among
the prizes to be awarded the coming COM
mencement we notice, in addition to those US
uallv given for proficiency in literary attain
ments and in oratory, two prizes for the best
drilled men in the manual of arms, and one
for the best drilled gun-squad in artillery. This
last is a feature of the institution which can
not be too much commended. The adoption
ofthe military drill and discipline is useful not
only as securing acknowledge of what should be
deemed an important part of the education of
every American, but its effect upon the health,
habits and manners of students is in the high
est degree beneficial. We wish it could be
made part of the course of instruction in
every college in the country. The list ofgrad-
yates and undergraduates of Norwich Uni
versity for the current year comprises seventy
five names, among which we notice consider
able number borne by students from Maine.

Examination and Exhibition.

Yesterday was examination day and exhibit
ton at Westbrook Seminary. In the after
noon we had the pleasure of spending courle
of hours there, during the exercises in decla-
nation and reading of essays. The school
room was crowded with scholars and visitors,
every square yard of space being occupied by
chairs.
The exercises were almost uniformly inter
esting, though both declamations and recita-
tons were, as a rule, too rapid. The sentiment
was uniformly pure, and partook largely of the
spirit of freedom, which seems to be fast be-
coming the atmosphere of the College and
Seminary, as it is of the Sanctuary.
During the time we were present the young
men, without exception, doolairned, whilo the
young ladies' read their own compositions
Whether we are to infer from this fact the
teachers estimate of their comparative abili-
ty, or whether it was simply for alienation,
we have no means Of knowing. Once, woman
was thought to be unqualified to lead in COM
position; but now, in our better civilization,
the case seems reversed. 4,..-..
We took no notes, and Of course are not pre-
pared to discriminate, nor do we feel inclined
to do so where all did SO well.
This institution is in a fourishng condition.
The term has been very full one. Mr.. Me-
Collister is faithful and efficient teacher, and
with his well qualified corps of Assistants, he
can scarcely fail to bring the institution under
his charge up, to even higher point than it
now occupies, though it stands in the very first
rank among the academic and classical schools
of New England.
