scrsment Of grinding mills that have been aban
doned. Some process for desulphurzlng must
have been used quite extensively, for there are
the furnaces for twelve pans remaining. The
engine and works have been badly damaged,
yet the laborers' dwellings, the boarding house,
the SUPERINTENDENT house have suffered very
little damage The mine was worked up to,
and portion Of the year 1862. A mile south
is the Amber mine property, through which
passes the plank roak. The works are 10 ruins
and were abandoned some years before the war
was told that it was not possible to kee p
out the water and quicksands. At this point
commenced the battle OF the Wilderness
Here is the north end Of the hastily-construct-
ed works, made Of logs, earth and brush, end
ing at Appomattox Court House At some
points the line is straight, then again curved in
or out, or making an angle to the right or lett,
over hills, across ravines or streams. The
ground is yet strewn with the debris Of battle,
but soon all signs Of the graves will be obllter-
ated. The quartz veins are easily traced from
this point in a northeasterly course to the 70
tomac river near Georgetown. Much OF the
soil is quartz rock, pebbles and sand, without
fertility, much broken with abrupt hills, and
mostly covered with woods, much of it of an
ancient growth. Little Of the land is cleared d:
tor 1t lays midway between the river and rail-
way, and too far from both to pay for transpor-
tation of the upmanufactured timber. 1t the
quartz paid profit to mine at one point it will
likely pay at others; and between the two ex-
tremes where ithas been worked, there is room
for hundreds of mining companies with abun-
dance of wood and water powe'. There is known
to be valuable minerals, iron, signs Of lead and
copper, soapstone, plumbago, etc. The lands
can be bought cheap, are lightly taxed, are
bordered on either side by as good farming
lands as there are inVirginia, and lay at the feet
of the northern capitalist; and yet they go and
scatter their money in the tar West, without
looking at Virginia.

The Cincinnati Gazette says that the
offerings of paper in that market are
light-greatly below the average for
this season of the year. Bankers give
very little encouragement to borrowers
toapply for loans. Tney shave worked
themselves into comfortable condi-
ton, anticipating fully any possible
demands that may be made upon them
from pork packers or others, and the
closeness in the money market is the
result of diSinclination to increase
the discount lines, rather than from
any real scarcity of money. Practi-
cally, however, the market is stringent,
and rates Of interest firm at 9GG12 per
cent. for good paper. In the open mar
keE the outside figure is readily OBJ
tanned. Currency is boarded to a con-
siderable extent, awaiting the action
of Congress on financial matters. This
will determine the course OF business,
and if it shall be opposed to any serious
disturbance of the volume of currency,
we shall soon experience a more lively
current of trade. The money held in
reserve is intended for investment
whenever it shall be thought the mar
kets have touched bottom. This point
will be determined by the action of the
Committee of Ways and Means, which
will be taken as foreshadowing the
course that Congress will adopt with
regard to Secretary McC1lloch's recon-
mendations. As matters stand now,
the business of the country is iemoral-
lied, aud this is not in consequence of
what has been done concerning the cur
rency, but because of appreheDsioDs as
to what may be done. 1t is the settled
feeling gofuncertainty that prevails that
mainly causes the staGnatiOn in trade :"
The New York Post of Friday even
ing, says that the currency interest due
on the 18th on the $500. 600, 900 of the
second series of the o. S. 7-s0per cent
notes is aboutten and half millions.
"of this sum of $40, SOC, 900, less than
one-third will probable be disbursed
directly by the treasury Office in New
York. The national bank Repositories
of the treasury throughout the country
are usually directed to pay the $50 per
cent coupons whenever presented,
charging theamount to the treasury at
Washington. This Is a great convent.

ConYerted 40 ChrIntInnItH.

In our news column, on Saturday,
we noticed foreign item to the effect
that Joseph Barker, somewhat noted in
this country, especially in Eastern
Ohio, as an infidel lecturer and contro-
versialist, had been converted to Chris
tianity, and was preparing for orders in
the Episcopal Church. "For some time
past" says the London corresp0T 'ent
of the New York Times, she Ls;4 been
preaching to dissenting congregations,
but seems now to have been drawn into
the strong current setting, as many
think, toward the unity of all Christen-
dom in one fold, under one shepherd" )"
The Cleveland Leader, in noticing
Barker's conversion, says:
'tThis Barker was man OF decided
ability who lived for some timC at Sa-
lem, in this State, where he mace him
self somewhat notorious by controver-
sizes with all the local ministers whom
he could induce to enter into contro-
Versy with him. he was very spe-
cioas reasoner and
"Could distinguish and divide
A hair 'Gwtxt South and Southwest side. "
But we have heard he was not equal
ly ready at distinguishing between
TIetryR and tIEIfHI, and left behind him "a
reputation for being as slippery in hnan-
cial matters as he appears TO be in hi s
religious opinions. As the lamp has
held out to burn long enough for him

cIs-Atlanttc acQuaintances would be
glad to recefVe some substantial evil

Artemus ward.


a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from London, is
loud in the praise Of Artemus Wards
First appearance" as lecturer among
the British. The lecture is the same
poor thing, it seems, that he delivered
here in Wheeling at Washington Hall,
and that would not have filled the
house twice in succession. But it has
been made to take among the London
ers by means of Wards inimitabIe
wny of advertising it. We quote from
the letter as follows:
The great event, foreshadowed bv
newspaper prophets, longed for by in
quisitive and laughter-loving Britons.
often promised and continually deferr-
ed, has at last taken place. Our re
nowned fellOw-CitiZen from Baldins-
vile did last night, in Egy ptian Hall,
before densely-crowded audience,
what he had said in thousand adver-
tisements he would do-he spoke a
piece" A. Ward has crossed the Rubi-
con and it may be truly said OF him.
ms he himself has kindly said or Shaks.
Peare's grave, he "is sTccess." There
never was a more decided aud uumis-
taxable hit made than he made last
night. A. Ward has managed his show
business in England in masterly
way. Never did a great General
win campaign by more scl-
entihc aud skillful planning.
1t was very shrewd of A. Ward to come
to London months before his fret pI;b-
lie appearance, and conciliate the fite.-
ary and repOFtorial brotherhood by
meeting them at their clubs, by stand

dinners, and indescEiba BILE suppers,

a "ciubable man." and he is at this

London. Then he has been suDerbly
advertised. His letters in Punch,

have been capital advertisements.
Every wall in London, every railway
station in England, has, for the last six
or eight weeks, contained hugo and
droll posters about him. First it was
simply this i: "ATtemus Ward in Lon
