Colo Discoveries in New Hampshire and
Vermont.

In the eastern extremity OF the Appala-
chan chain another gold district has been
discovered which promises to be of much
Importance. The taIcose slate rocks of
the New Hampshire side of that chain of
mountains some time since yielded from
their quartz ores $500 up to $3.50 per ton
Of the precious metal. On the Vermont
side, at Bridgewater, locality has been
long known as auriferous, and the Com
missioner of the General Land Office has
within few days received specimens of a
quartz vein from near Manchester of q
very rich quality. From the analogous
geological structure Of the country and the
specimens in hand rich yield may be ex-
pected. Gulch mining has from time to
time been resorted to, and has afforded
enough to stimulate research for the vein
from which the metal was conveyed to the
stream and bottom lands. The recent dis
coVery is regarded as another evidence of
the almost universal presence Of this me-
tai in the talcose states.

Archbishop of Canterbury, removes the
Primate of the Anglican Church, and the
first Of all its bishops. He was promoted
to this see in 1862, from the bishopric of
York. In carly life he was master OF
Harrow School, and his promotion to the
highest Office in the Church was spread
over term Of nearly fifty years from his
first connection with it. He convoked the
Pan-Anglican S ynod in 1867, and presided
over its sessions He was leading mind
in the High Church party, and particularly
interested in striving to cement reunion

Taking this as q basis it will be seen
that there were q more votes registered
than were cast And when We are aware
of the fact that considerable number
wero registered at the polls, it is easily seen
that not full vote was polled. BY the
above table it is shown that there were
1a5 more whites registered than there were
Democratic votes cast, and after allowing
for considerable number of white Radi-
cal votes, the conclusion is reasonable that
some Of our white people failed to vote.-

Sir Tho false and mendacious repre-

Fitzpatrick, of New Haven, on the Goth

not the first in which he has INDUCED since
his appearance on the hastings in this can

criminal capacity for ribald invention in
all the speeches he has made since his re-
turn to this country, and that ! have been
the objective point Of many Of his unprin-
cipled and indecent ibels. The Northern
masses have been SO prone to nisunder-
standing any appearance that have made
in the present campaign that have been
content, heretofore, to forego any notice
of General Kilpatrick's inventions with
reference to myself, and to trust that some
future and more suspicious time would
afford nae an opportunity of stripping the
imposter and Of exposing him, the base
counterfeit he is, to the contempt OF all
just and fair-minded people. My forbear-
ance, however, is construed by him as q
license to additional and more slanderors
detraction, and am constrained to notice
his New Haven speech, as it appeared in
the Register of October .21st, 1868. In
that speech he is reported as saying that
