less excusable, has shrimped bis mind down
to the amen apology used in opposition to
the Presidents poIicy-that is, he expressed
himself, at the freedmen's aid meeting, held
last week in San Francisco. as against the
Presidents policy, for the reason, if no other,
that all the copperheads in the land were
nphoIding it. Silly reason-but the most
plausible yet offered. Many foolish fellow

How Southern Illinois came to be called
Egypt.

The inquiry is frequently made why is
Southern Illinois called Egyp,T The Bell.
vile, (Ills.) Advocate publishes a letter
from gentleman Of St. Clair county on the
subject. which was written for publication in
December, 1853, but was mislaid, and which
is now produced for the first time, and
which answers the question. The writer
says:
why Southern Illinois came to be called
Egypt. Some Of the Chicago papers says it
WAS in consequence Of the heathenish dark
ness and ignorance that prevailed among the
people. This is not so. will tell you how
it came by that name. In the early settler
ment Of the Sangany country, as it was then
called, before the counties of Sangamon and
Greene were organized, there were several
families who emigrsted to these counties
from St. Clair. Among the number was an
old man named Levi Day. Every Spring he
returned, in company with several Others, to
this county, to get seed corn. For three or
four years after these counties were settled.
the insects and frost SO injured the corn that
it would not answer for seed. The third
year that Levi Day come down, he stopped
at my fathers house over highland to get
his seed corn. The same night, Gov. Ford.
John Mears, and David Blackwell, stopped
at my fathers house. During the evening
Mr.. Day remarked that be had to com Q
down to Egypt to buy corn every year.
That idea so pleased Ford and Blackwell,
that they published it, and Southern Illinois
has gone by the name Of Egypt ever since.
| we'll recolect bearing these men having
this conversation some thirty.five or six years
ago (now about forty eight years ago), long
before Chicago was thought Of as city,
Egypt is remarkable for the longevity of its
inhabitants as we'll as for the fertility Of it's
SOIL and the variety Of its productions. No
section of the county within my knowledge
can compare With this part Of Egypt. There
are several families living 10 this section
who have lived here from fifty to seventy
five years. The Phillips family, several in
number. all alive, the eldest seventy eight
the youngest fifty eight. Then there is the
Wilderman family, six Of them alive. tho
Oldest eighty, and the youngest fifty-six.-
Both these families have lived here fifty
years or more, besides other families might
name that have been here as long or longer.

The UNION COPPER MINE-RICH DEvEL-
oPMENT.-Wc are permitted to make the
following extract from a private letter re-
ceved in this city few days since from a
gentleman who has Just visited the Uuion
mine, in Copperopolis:
The prosi.sc Of the permanency of this
mine were aever so great as at the present
time. was down in the mine last Friday.
when saw, in the five hundred.foot level
connected with the middle shaft, a vein of
concentrated No. / ore, twenty-five feet in
width SO far as explored tits full extent is
not yet being known.) In following that
deposit eighty feet upward, to the level above.
the width is there found to be twenty. eight
feet This will give you some idea of the fu.
ture Of the Union mine. In No. shaft
they have also found vein Of concentrated
ore, at depth OF 400 feet, that keeps WIDEN
ing as they drift upon it to the Southwark.
1t is my honest opinion that they have lust
commenced finding the real depth of the de.
post 10 the Union mine.
In order to arrive at some definite idea of
the actual value Of the immense deposit
above spoken of, in the middle shaft let the
reader calculate the cubic contents Of the
mass, which is now known to be of the fol.s
lowing dimensions: Hight, 80 feet; width,
26 l-2 feet; length $50 feet. This will give
us 3,ls0,00O feet; nine feet to the ton, and
$6O-the known value Of the ore per ton
give us cash value Of over t,Vo million of
dollars from this single mass, above the pres.
ent lower level! According to all human
calculations, the half of it is not yet devel-
oped. And yet this is only the first class
ore which will BE- taken from the middle
shaft only! When we take into accoun. the
immense amount Of reserved ore in that and
the other shafts, and the further development
yet to be made-tbis must be confessed to be
the most remarkable mine in the whole hiss
tory ofcopper mining.-Mning Press.
