letter is dsted March 2lss:
Extraordinary excitement is now pre-

have been discovered 10 exist IN large
quantities among The rugged mountains IN
this vicinity. Rich specimens OF silver
ore are shown, and large bids are made
for sections of country which, but short

scrub oak and negro head stone upon
them. Many leads are said TO have been
found. which their discoverers feel sssur-
ed will yield full fifty per cent of virgin
silver. am told that lease has been
fIecsd by parties from the North upon
section within mile Of this place, at
an enormous price, and others have re-
fused still larger offers for lands 10 the
same vicinity. A perfect stampede Is
being made from the oil regions, in the
hope Of better luck in prospecting for sill
YER ore than oil deposits. The discovery
it seems, was made many years ago by a
negro, the slave o. a gentleman near this
place, who then proposed that il his fam

with two men, Of much experience IN
such matters. 10 whom he made known
the existence Of The ore. and who had en-
tered into an arrangement with him oy
which he should have a fair proportion OF
the profits IN case Of success. These
gentlemen upon visiting me place, IN

the board decided that gallant conduct on
The field, in face Of the enemy. should be
the standard Of honorable reward. BY
this measurement list was made out and
sent TO Washington for the approval oi

confers the appointments. When Secre'
