There is, perhaps. no county in the

villifed than Webster. Within the two

part of it, and more upright, kind and
hospitable people do not exist on this
green earth. Iii true that they do not
possess those superfuit;es and luxuries
which MAY be found in wcalthier coun-
ties, bu, what they have is as free as wa
ter. Indeed. you almost insult them il
you offer them money for any entertain

During the war many persons sought
refuge in this county. eithrr from CONS
cfip,icn or de.crtion, and when they
wished to leave, they would make a raid
upon other counties for goods, and the
crimes committed by these refugees were
all placed to the charge Of Webster,
when in truth the citizens Of Webster had
nothing TO do With them. Immigrants
will find the land in this county good and
cheap, and should they wish to settle
here, they will be pleased with its good

The Fair.

On the 18th, 10Th and 30lh Of Septem-
Der, says the Regulator, rs our readers
are aware, the fourth annual Fair of our
Agricultural Society will be held. We trust
that it will not only be equal to that of last
year, but surpass it. Upon the people Of
Harrison county this mainly depends,
though the Society has acknowledgements
to make to the citizens of adjoining coun
ties for much help in past exhibitions. We
would like 10 see such a display Of cattle
and horses ,ss VIC know this and some other
counties around us can make, display that
would be good in any part Of the Union.
We hope that the Ladies' Department will

California.

There is no better way of obtain
ing correct idea of the progress of
California, says the New York Times,
than by citing some few particulars
from the statistics recently published
by the San Francisco papers. With
a population Of 100000, of whom
10000 are Chinese, Indians and ne
groes, we are told there were pro-
duced last year 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat, 100000 bushels of barley,
100000 bushels of oats, 100000
of corn, 100000 gallons of wine,
100000 gallons of brandy, 100000
900 feet of sawed Lumber, 5000, 900
pounds of butter, and 100000
pounds Of wool. OF metals there
were produced 100000 pounds of
quicksilver, all the rest of the world
producing but 100000 pounds /;
s1,000,O0 of silver, and S21, 472, 85l
of gold. Manufactures yielded last
s75, 600, 900, and the total value of
Industrial products was 1882, 600, 900.
When we consider that California is
as yet only upon the threshold Of
her histoty, we may we'll hesitate to
assign any limit to her future pros
perity.

of Plato it was twelve times as valu
able. In that of julius Caesar gold
was only nine times more valuable,
owing, perhaps, to the enormous
quantities Of gold seized by him in
his wars. 1t is a natural question to
ask, what became of gold and silver ?
A paper read before the Polytechnic
Association by DR.. Stevens, recently,
is calculated to meet this inquiry
He says, of our annual gold product,
full fifteen per cent. is melted down
for manufacture thirty-fve per cent.
goes to Europe twenty-five per cent.
to Cuba fifteen per cent. to Brazil !;
five per cent. direct to Japan, China
and the Indies leaving but five per
cent. for circulation in this country.
OF that which goes to Cuba, the
West Indies and Brazil, full fifty per
cent. finds its way to Europe, where,
after deducting a large percentage
used in manufacturing, four-fifths of
the remainder is exported to India.
Here the transit Of the precious met
al is at an end. Here the supply,
however vast, is absorbed, and never
returns to the civilized world.
The Orientals consume but little,
while their productions have ever
been in demand among the Western
countries. AS mere recipients, there
fore, these nations have acquired the
desire OF accommodating and boarding,
a passion common alike to all classes
among the Egyptians, Indians, Chi
nese and Persians. A French econ
omist states that in his opinion the
former nation alone hides away $780,
900, 900 of gold annually, and the
present Emperor of Morocco is re-
ported as SO addicted to this avari-
cious mania that he has filled seven
teen large chambers with the precious
metals. The passion Of princes, it is
not surprising that the same spirit
is shared by their subjects, and it is
in this prediction that we discover
the solution of the problem as to the
ultimate disposition of precious met
ais. This absorption by the Eastern
nations has been uninterruptedly
going on since the most remote his
torical period. According to Pliny,
as much as S10O,O10,000 in gold was,
in his days, annually exported to the
East. The balance of trade in favor
OF those nations is now given as
$50, 100000.
A system Of international coinage
is proposed, and congress has re-
Gently been held in Paris, at which
the several nationalities were repre-
sented, including the United States,
If our government should endorse
the proposed system, there will be a
natioanl change in our coinage if we
should ever return to hard money
times. The proposed standard of
coinage-the francis equal in value
to about nineteen and one-ffth cents.
A five franc piece is accordingly
worth four cents less than the Amer
lean dollar, which is our present
standard of coinage Uuder the pro-
posed plan, our present half-dollar
would be represented by piece
worth forty-eight ecents, etc.
The ancient English penny was
the first silver coin struck in England.
1t was equal in weight to the present
three-penny piece.
