Ksoyrs DEFENsE.-The following is the conclusion of the reply of J. Proctor Knott, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, to the arraingment of Blaine, accusing him, Knott, of suppressing the Caldwell dispatch.
 Knott-Will the gentlemen possess their souls in patiencei I have not the dispatch here. It is at my house. The contents are substantially as stated by the gentleman from Maine-Mr. Blaine-I don't know that I can repeat it in exact terms, but the pur- port is that Caldwell has seen Scott's testi- mony in the New York papers and that it was substantially correct; that he had not let Blaine have any bonds, and that he would send an affidavit to that effect; but that he was engaged in railroad enterprise over there and could not come to give his testimony without serious pecuniary loss. This is substantially what is in it, and if the gentlemen had only waited, that dispatch would have been presented to the committee for whatever use the committee might see proper to make of it. I had no desire to mjure the gentlemen from Maine person. ally, and especially not politically; but l desire that the truth may be told. As for myself had DO Knowledge of any transac- ton by the gentleman from Maine inconsist- cnt with the highest personal integrity. l do not desire that he should be injured in the least, but do desire that, with relation to every person guilty of wrong, we shall turn the gas on and let the people see.

A NEW PHASE IN GoLD MISINe.-Sin

A NEW PHASE IN GOLD MISING.-Since the discovery of gold in talco-slate lew uouths ago and the active development of a mine of that decription in Fl Dorado county by the Old Hickory gold mining company, a great interest in that peculiar formation has been displayed by our miners, as we wili therefore give a short description of the ma teriaI and its constituents.
 Talco-slate, or the salty formationof stea- tite, is of primary period and generally found in large lodges and deposits in the slate range. It is ordinarily called soap stone and consists of silica 62.6, magesia 32.5, water 4.s. It is. perfectly fire-proof and ofthe same class as asbestos, and consld- ering that it's hardness is only two, to seven of quartz, we dare to say that the stamping or rather grinding of it can be done very easily. The company now developing the first mine of that description on this coast have 22 feet of ledge, the assays of which ssn from $50 to $200 per ton, and we art credibly informed that the ore, on account of its softness will work by pan amalgama ton with alkaline for 420O per ton. Tht sulphurets contained in the ore assay $32s per ton and constitute about five per cent As the ledge is traceable for miles we may shortly look for interesting developments II ! that quarnrIM. & s.
