superior to the results from Australia
and New Zealand, reaching one thou
sand millions for each. The aggre-
gate is so enormous as to make it a
mystery that there is so little depre-
citation from the over supply Andthe
fact that it is to so large an extent
withdrawn from circulation and the
market for it as currency cut off, does
not help to solve the difficulty.
The whole production of the world
anterior to 1850 has been set down at
six hundred millions of pounds ster-
ling, or half as much again as has
been produced by Australia and Cali
fotnia combined. And but a small
part is used as currency, or as
the basis of currency. It is for the
most part manufactured, and other
property is substituted as that basis,
and for aught we see may as well be.
The annual production of the globe is
probably now one hundred and fifty
millions. It is worth as much to us
as pearls and diamonds obtained with
the same labor, and contributes moth
ing by its excess to the comfort and
happiness of mankind. When the
hardship endured, and the expenses
ofliving at the mines are taken into
consideration, we doubt whether the
miners, with all their g~littering gold
en- gains, do so we'll as the average OF
farmers, and even whether the aver
age of miners realize more wealth.

AN official circular, lately issued for
the information of the English peO-
pie, gives a full exhibit of the statis-
tees of gold for Australia and New
Zealand, from which we compile the
following facts: From New South
Wales the expectations up to the 3lst
December are given as s31, 4S5, 254, and
from Victoria f13S, 671, 263, New Zea-
land Gig, 4O4, 673, and Queensland about
Il. OO0.nOO. This does not include gold
sent off privately, or used or manu-
featured at home. And the whole
amount therefore produced IS con-
iecturally estimated at 6200, 600, 600.
The number of persons employed Ia
gold mining in Victoria alone IS estl-
mated at 6 5000 and Etheir average
yearly earnings 657 Is I'd. The
method is more scientific than form
erly, though the poorer mines are still
using the old method. The China
men are to be seen everywhere with
their ~proverbial industry, scraping the
earth from the hill sides, draining old
excavations and washing with boxes
and cradles. The more valuable auri-
ferrous deposits are at a depth Of from
fftv to five hundred feet, requiring
eapital for sinking shafts, which in the
hands of organized companies, are
Welding larger returns. There are
now many such companies at work.
Their successes Ysry from zero to the
| abundance of the Arabian Thousand
and one Nights"
In this connection we find by refer
ence to american Year Book" for
1850, that the entire deposits of gold
at the United States mint and branches
up to June 80, 1858, reached the total
of SI04,6lG, 9l5 Is, upwards Of six
hundred millions Of which is from
California, over seventeen millions
from Montana, and more than four
teen millions each from Colorado and
Idaho. The remainder is distributed
throughout the States aud Territories,
from North Carolina and Oregon,
which give upwards of S9,O 600 each,
and Georgia with its seven millions
down to Tennessee with its eighty
thousand and Vermont with its fifteen
hundred. And when we take into
view the immense amount of gold
manufactured in the country, and that
sent abroad for use or coinage, it would
seem probable that the production o
gold fields was at least equal, if no

THE communication Of Camden"
is from a gentleman of talents ana eH-
perience, and is worth considering.
Before the meeting of our State Con-
vention, which is an indispensable ne
eessity. it is well that such topics as
are likely to come before it should be
considered. We therefore welcome
the suggestions of intelligent men,
who really should mature their views
as to what reforms are needed before
the Convention meets. That nothing
should be done rashly or Unwisely, let
every project be the subject OF discus
sion, and let conflicting views be freely
presented. 1t is in this view that the
communication Of Camden" Is Civ
en-, To say that we endorse or oppose
any particular scheme otherwise than
as advocating such reforms as may be
necessary, would be to pronounce be-
fore the proper hearing and eXamlna-
ton. Whether we should be bene-
fitted by the division OF representa-
tive power, so much as by adherinG
precisely to our old system, without
the dilution of negro suffrage, is prob
lematical. That it would be advan'
tageous TO lessen the number Of popu-
lar elections by providing an appoint
ing power in many cases, seems quite
grobable. 1t is not likely the people
will consent TO a property restriction
on their own suffrage, only in order tC
restrict the dangerous suffrage Of The
negro. That is a proposition to en-
franchise the negro at the expense o
the white man. But if they would
we should have a "white mans gov
eminent /" to all practical intents ant
purposes. 1t would be TO yield tx
theory of negro suffrage, and yet ex.
clude the mass of negro voters. Blu.
It would also exclude from the ballO
box many white men,

THE AValaneae of yesterday an
nounces itself as a candidate before
the Senate for the place Of legal adj
vertiser, by the appointment of Gov.
SENTER. The reason announced for
this nomination of the Governor is
that our neighbor has the "largest
circulation" If that is really Gov.
SENTER's opinion, we should be
pleased to learn how he has ascer-
tanned its correctness. Has he pro-
cured the proof, has he made the in
vestigation, has he any knowledge on
the subject whatsoever, OF has he
learned all he knows relative to it by
mere boasts or banters?
Has our neighbor made such
prodigiOus gains to his circula-
ton by going for SENTER and
Universal Suffrage" as to accom-
plish the great result in so short a
time, and when at the same time the

him. As he was riding from Bristol 10
Abingdon, when about SIX miles from the
former place, young Rust, who was lying
in wait for him, shot him with a rifle. As
soon as Mr.. Heiskill was shot. ne turned
his horses head in the direction OF the ire
from the gun, and recognized young Rust,
who was running away with his gun.
Rust was arrested and tried before a
Magistrate and was sent to Abingdon jail.
The ball from Rust's rife entered behind
Mr.. Heiskill's left shoulder and ranged
down his left arm. The wound is a seri-
u one, but we are glad to hear is not by
any means considered a fatal or very
dangerous one.

THE "new revelation" against po-
lvgamy, which it is reported was an
nounced some time ago by BRIGHAM
You've as likely to come, seems to
have arrived in his old age. 10.
SMITH left an ignorant son DAVID,
who has appeared at Salt Lake with a
message from his father, containing a
new gospel, 1t denounces polygamy
and some other abuses, and Is repre-
scented to have a strong party among
the Saints" As BRIGHAM has pro
fessed for a considerable time to hold
the reins in trust for this very DAVID,
his chance as the son Of 10. and the
veritable heir to the succession would
seem to be good. At any rate there Is
a split in the family, and likely to be
a war among the sanity denizens OF
Salt Lake on the subject of their most
GiZEinguishing speciality YoUNG,
with his old fogias CT the one hand

KANsAs.-Aimost every journal pub

arrivals, of families seeking locations,
and men of wealth and experience
looking for profitable and safe invest
ments. There is no greater indication
of the future greatness and prosperity
of our State than the tide of immigra-
ton demonstrates, and we, i'll common

all, with assurance that industry and
perseverance of a few years Will give
you a home.
Kansas is an agricultural and manu-
featuring State. Nature has ''set every
seal' to make her such, and it is the
development of these pursuits that
should be most encouraged and foster
ed. With but one navigable river that
touches her borders. in part, she cannot
at present successfully rival her sister
States i'll commercial way; but with
the advantages of delightful climate,
fertile valleys, with abundance of tim
Der and never falling streams of water,
with rich and extensive coal fields, she
can soon claim pre-eminence as all
agricultural and manufacturing en-
pire.
Railway lines are diverging to every
section of the State, opening up new
lines and farms, and bringing farms in
contact with quick and reliable mark
cts. Manufacturing interests are
springing up in all parts of the State,
and yield their owners large returns OH
the investment; and to men and wo-
men with idle capital, we extend an in
vitation to come and see Kansas

, Within the past three years, more than

1t is stated that the number of per-

CATION, as his physician advised him to
cross the Atlantic for his health. He
exhorted his brethren and sisters, and
after the conclusion of a prayer took a
within 30 cut up some frantic freaks. He
ran up Trinity street to the college. AT
this stage of the proceedings he was
seized by couple of boys, who tied a
tin-kettle to his tail, and he again
started. A great crowd collected, and
| for time there was a grand scene OF
running and confusion. After a long
race he was finally shot by a policeman.

CHEsTNUTs.-To raise a chestnut
grove, get fresh nuts, pack them in damp
mot wet) sand plant late in fall or ear
ly in spring. four feet apart each way,
two or three nuts in a hill, and cover
with one inch of leaf mould, or light
prairies soil, and cultivate like corn.
At one or two years old, thin out to
one in a hill. At four years of age, cul-
tivation may cease; the trees will by
this time shade down the weeds. In a
few years, each alternate row may be
removed. And little later, each alter
nate tree in the remaining rows. These
will furnish much valuable material for
fence or hoop poles. Such grove of a
few acres would be of immense value.
The trees are rapid growers; the nuts
are always in demand at large price /;
the wood is very durable, and in great
demand for posts, railroad ties and
rails, and is coming into fashion with
.abimet makers. No wood combines,
in so great degree, strength, lightness
and durability. Again, when a chest
nut grove is cut down, it sprouts vigOr-
ously from the stump, and usually at
| tains height of thirty feet in four or
five years.
