The SEDIMENTS FORMED IN WINEs.-M

IHE SEDIMENTS FORMED IN WINES.-M.
Pastaur states that be has carefully examin.
ed the sediments formed in wines, and has
found they can. all be classed under three
heads. The first are crystals Of bitartrate Of
potash, neutral tartrste of soda, or a mixture
Of the two salts. These adhere to the sides
Of the bottles, are brown coloring matters
which, originally dissolved 10 the wine, are
gradually rendered inso.ub!o by oxidation.
This sediment therefore is caused by the
presence of oxygen existing in the air which
is over or dissolved in the wine. BY several
experiments upon different wines enclosed
in tubes, the author proves this fact, aud
shows that the deposit takes place more rap
idly when the tubes are exposed to the light.
The wine becomes of lighter color, and ac-
qures the peculiar odor and flavor Of old
wines which have returned from voyage
He attributes the good effect Of tropical
voyage upon wine, not, as he has supposed,
to the increase of temperature, but to the
continued changing of the vitiated air
over the wine through variations in the pres.
sure from constant shaking and evaporation.
Accordingly, wines hermetcaIIy sealed 10
bottles without oxygen have no sediment
indeed, do not sensibly change in anyway
The third class of sediment, by far the most
injurious, is composed of various cryptogam.
ic vege.ations, which, acting as fsrmeuts, are
the sole cause Of the diseases" of wine.-
The author infers that wines should be i'm.
proved by leaving them in the cask until
ripe, and then bottling them.

LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered as wishing to
continue their subscription.
2. II subscribers wish their papers discontin-
ued publishers may continue to send them until
all charges are paid.
3. II Subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the Office or place to which
they are sent they are held responsible until they
settle their bills and give due notice to discon-
tinue.
4. If subscribers move to other places with
out informing the publisher, and the paper is
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible. Notice should always he given of the
removal.
s. The Courts have decided, that refusing to
take paper from the Office, or removing and
leaving it uncalled for, is prima facia evidence
of intentional fraud.

HARDENING IRoN.-A curious process for
giving iron sn exceedingly high degree Of
hardness has been discovered in France BY
M. Gaudin. This chemist, some time since,
recorded the fact that BY heating iron, toler.
ably free from carbon, with small quantity
of boron, product SO hard that il
cannot be forged may be obtained.-
He has now found that a similarly
ly hard metal may be obtained by adding to
ordinary cast iron, while in fusion, phosphate
of iron and peroxide of maganese. The
iron produced in this way cannot be forged,
but it casts easily, and is therefore thorough.
ly applicable to the construction of such ma.
chimes as require in their material extreme
hardness rather than tenacity. The metal
so produced is moreover, singularly sonor.
ous, and its invention suggests it's employ.
ment in bell foundries. He also states that
he has discovered species Of alloy called
tungsten.ron, crystals Of which are so hard
that they will cut glass as readily as the dta'
mond.

Silver Mining in Placer County.
A correspondent Of the Mining and Scisn
tito Press writing from Sacramento under

correspondent oJ the Mining and Sc'en'
ti6c Press writing from Sacramento under
date Of March Goth, says:
1t is now an established fact that there
are silver mines in California, which. If prop.
erly managed, will pay as we'll as those Of
Nevada, if not better. taking into consdera-
ton the expense Of working, the expense Of
shipping machinery, of fuel and Of labor,
also the distance from market and transport
tation, all Of which are cheaper and of easier
access in California. Working rock, Of the
same quality in both places, pays better here.
Now the question comes up. have we rock
of the same quality here. The fact is we'll
known to some that there is rock in Placer
county that will range from 800 to $500
per ton, fire assay, both 10 the vicinity Of
New Castle and Folsom. The silver leads
were discovered at New Castle were discov.
cred by men who we're working by night in
the tunnel of the Kearsage Quartz Mining
Company, and went prospecting in the day
time. There are two lodges running paral.
lei, northeast BY southwest, and about two
hundred feet apart.
The principal claim on those lodges are
the Ad Valorem and Camanche on one, and
the Pacific on the other. There is not much
work being done on the Camanche at pres.
ent, but on the Ad Valorem, near the line of
the Camanche, that company are sinking a
shaft, and have reached the depth of fifty
five feet, developing good ore, which, by
roasting in forge, will show globues Of sill
yer all over it. The Pacific are down about
forty feet, and have very good ore. Some
ore from both claims has worked $64 pc,
ton, mill process. Enclosed you will find
certificate from Mr.. Waters, Of Sacramento
of an assay made by him Of ore from the Pa
cific ledge. at depth Of twenty-eight feet
The ledge is four feet and half wide, ant
shows some of the richest rock in this dis
trict, and the richest silver ore in the State
There is no mistake in regard to the quality
of the ore; for by putting it into the forge il
will, in few minutes, run the silver out Of
the rock. The ledge has been visited by a
great number of people, and all are satisfi-
ed that it is very rich in silver. The miles
are one mile and half from New Castle
station, on the Central Pacific Railroad
There is a good wagon road from the station
to the mines. Considerable stock has
changed hands this week, selling readily at
50 per foot. have sent you some of the
rock from the Pacific, portion of which is
burnt, and some as il came from the mine.
1fyou will examine the burnt rock with
glass you will find that the cavities are lined
with silver. You will also find gold in the
clear rock. From one piece lost large
kernel Of gold, but you can still see some
gold on the rock

CALIFORNIA AHEAD.-Tbe mines OF Cali
foruia have been the subject Of continual
misrepresentation and dectraction ever since
the first manifestation of the Wasboe fever;
yet hundreds of mining sections in Nevada
have proved to be vaueess, whose shares
once stood at high figure in the market;
while California quartz is once more yielding
fortunes We read in an exchange that the
Allison Ranch mine is turning out gold in
almost fabulous quantities, the rock, at a
depth Of seven hundred feet, yielding at the
rate of one thousand eight hundred dollars
ton! The yield Of the rock crushed 10 the
mill for the past month is said. to be at the
rate of two hundred thousand dollars week
that amount having been cleaned up each
Saturday night for the four weeks past. At
this rate the mine would turn out ten mill
lions year! Even the Gould and Curry
could never beat that in regularity Of yield.

REMARKS OF Mr.. SAULsBURy-The fol-
lowing condensed report of Senator Saulsbu'
rvs speech on the Freedmen's Bureau Bill
will be read with interest at this time.
Mr. Salisbury said he had not intended
when he came to the Senate this session to
participate in the debates relating to slavery,
but the Senator from Illinois (TrumbulD had
said the other day that there was a necessity
in Delaware for the operations ofthis Bureau.
1t was not deemed necessary then to extend
the operations Of this Bureau TO the States
not in rebellion, although war ragged in the
land. But as success has crowned the per.
sistent efforts Of the friends Of the negro race,
these aggressive movements have become
more rapid and extensive. Although the
Freedmen's, Bureau as originally est abIished,
was only intended, according to its provis.
ions TO extend to The States in revolt, yet we
cannot shut our eyes to the fact that II Ia
bound to become an extensive Bureau. l
shall enter into no computation Of the cost
which the country has already incurred in
the support of that Bureau. One thing We
know, and that is that hundreds ofthousands
of the negro race have been supported out
of the United States Treasury, and the white
people OF the country are taxed to pay that
expense. For the first time n the history Of
the country has the thing occurred that the
real mass of the people have been taxed to
support in idleness class Of people too lazy
and too worthless to support themselves.
Look around at these galleries at any time
of the day, and you will see the benefciares
OF this bureau crowding them, and listening
to the debates of this body. How many Of
the honest, hard working white men Of this
country are there who can afford to come
TO the city Of Washington, and sit day after
day, week after week, and month after month,
listening to your deliberations They cannot
afford to do it, but under the protective care
of the Freedmen's Bureau, your galleries can
be crowded every day with negroes listening
to your deliberations, but doing nothing to
support themselves, and being supported out
Of The taxes levied upon the whole people Of
this country.
The bill under consideration proposes to
enlarge the powers Of the Freedmen's 3 Bureau
!: does enlarge them wonderfully. think
| can demonstrate automatically that this
bill gives to the President Of the United
States, and to those connected with the dis
charge Of the duties Of the Bureau, the pow,
or Of expending, at least two hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars. 1t cannot be the
intention OF the friends of the bill that such
an enormous expenditure shall be incurred.
But we are to look at what may be the re
suit Of this Bureau going into operation to
ascertain what the expenses may be, and we
are not to consider that those intrusted with
the discharge Of the duties of the bureau will
not incur this expense.
