An Interesting Letter from Missouri.

MIAMI, Mo-, Aug. 70, 1872.
Dear Ildrertiscr.-Allow me to string
together a few items just as they may
come UP before lue.
I and my little family are quite we'll,
aud happy. Indeed, if could find a
man here who would confess that he is
not haprs. would advise him to begin
at once to seek another State.
Last week Ltook my family out, spent
about two days driving across Peketesaw
plains, and over the rolling prairie OF
Saline County; and now 1 feel somewhat
afraid to make simple statement Of
facts in presenting part of what We saw.
This County has mot lacked single
shower during this summer. The soil
is. I suppose, as rich as land can be, and
the most luXuriant grasses grow on all
of it, except where they have been pre-
vented by cultivation. Grass-nlpta
Hemp-felds, and Corn-fields. with here
and there clump OF. white houses, make
up the scene in almost any spot of the
country over which we Travelled. The
Grass-plots are moved regularly at the
proper time. The Homp-felds are NOW
cd also or reaped. Let me describe this
work rs we saw it. 4 man is driving
team of five mules. Three abreast. in
front, and two at tongue or pole. The
pole and two cast iron wheels, two and q
half feet high, make cart, whose frame
work seems to haze tumbled over to tho
ground on the left where it drags its lazy
length along, as the cart moves. Inside
of this framework there seems to be a
right brisk machine, if we may guess by
the rattling and clapping which we hear.
On the cart sits man., using long stick
with which he forces the hemp to fall
properly on the emachine. A boy is walk
ing behind to see that it slips off the ma
chine properly. These three, the five
mules, and the machine do the work, do
it rapidly and in good style. The hemp
is laid out on the gro, I'd in beautiful
rows, ,,and there is not one weed OF it left
standing on the ground The hemp be
lore it is cut appears to be 'about as tall
as the mules, stems Of beautiful golden
yellow; and standing apparently much
| crowded on the soil. I. may tell you
something of the work of preparing the
bark. of this weed for market, when L
have moro time, and.learn more about 1t.
Now, let me say little about the corn,
and close. Saving fodder is & business
too slow for this country. Men go'for
fodder to those grass-plots where they
can use machine. The corn stands
gencrally-I believe might say univer-
sally-thrcc feet eacll way; with three
and four in hill. Now it is simply im-
possible.for me, by.any description Yhieh
might institute, to give to a South
Carolininn an idea pf how one of these
corn-fields would appear to him. Some
Of these punches which we would call
hills, have eight, and some ten cars. Our
farmers say the crop is good. and some
Of them believe they will gather. one
baldreebrsisdis per 8ttfe.s!, .

look badly indeed; but we find that the

More Gold.

The reports of gold discoveries on tho
northern shore of Lake Superior are con
firmed from various sources, though thew
may be somewhat exaggerated. On the
western end aud north shore of Lake
Shenandoweu, which is reached by about
forty-eight miles of travel over a splendid
government road from the shores of Lake
Superior, well defined veins of gold bear.
ing quartz, much of which is decomposed
have been found and traced for several
miles The veins contain, in addition to
free gold, galena, very pure silver glance,
aud iron pyrites. The sand in the streams
of this region have been found to contain
gold, but whether in paying quantities
has not yet been ascertained
The silver mining in the region of
Thunder Bay continues immensely pro-
ductivc. At Silver Islet the quantity of
the silver daily dug out is only limited by
the force the operators are able to EN-.
ploy, and the supply appears to be mex,
haustible. Other mines in that region
are yielding finely. The lands in which
silver or gold have been found extend
back from the lake from fifty to one hun
dredred miles. The population of this
section of the country is rapidly increas-
iHg.
