IT may be safely concluded, s,ys

nal, that 80 per cent. Of all the
gold bullion produced since the
dawn of history (Which by the best
authorities has amounted to over
$1,000, 0O0.0 WORTHY has been taken
from alluvial deposits. II sour es of
this enormous amount are approach
ing exhaustion, there are certainly
grounds for apprehension that the
annual production Of the world will
steadily diminish in the future. No
satisfactory conclusion Can be reach
ed on this point until the origin and
and formation of alluvial gold de-
posits is thoroughly understood.

Governor Morton's Credit,

On one occasion the demand for
troops was SO great that he decided to
urge them to go to Washington with
out their bounty money. At mid
night he called up one regiment and
stated the case. They agreed to go
"because you have requested us, Gov
ernor Morton, but for no other rea-
son." The Governors heart failed
him-the conduct of the men was
too generous. The executive of the
State of Indiana proceeded on a
begging tour in the capital. The
first bank he came to greeted him
with, "No, we've No currency on
hand" The president of the next
bank asked, "What do you want ~
"Money," was the reply. "Gst out;
we haven't got any. What security
can you give 2" "Only my individual
name sir" said the Governor. an
dividual name !" Numbered the bank
officer. "How much do you want,
and v hat do you want it for2" The
Governor explained the dire necessity,
and said he wanted fifty thousand
dollars. "What have you got to
carry it in Z" and without waiting for
an answer, the officer produced a
basket, laid in it fifty $1,000 bills,
and handed it over with the exclama-
ton, "There sir; leave me memo
randum of this, and let me hear that the
rebels are ilcked." In two or three
days he obtained more than half a
million of dollars, for which the
banks charged no interest, and which
was returned in six weeks.

tains indications that he will veto any

few hundred mobied men in New

The recent efforts OF Attorney General
Pennington to recover the claims OF this
State against the General Government
or arms and accoutrements TAX en- from
the local military companies during the
war have thus far been successful, and he
has received $2l $3.50, in two drafts Of
S65i1.41 and SIG, ,07209, respectively.
The arms for which these amounts
were recovered, were seized from the
following companies of the First Regi-
ment Delaware Gu; rds In the years 1860
and 1861; Capt. Ri, dies and Capt. NJ c.
Cintock's, WilmingGon; Capt. Ogle's
New Ca, tie; Capt. Carris, Smyrna; Capt.
Meredith's, North Murderkill Hundred;
Capt. Houston's, Milford; Capt. Layton's
and Capt. Paynter's, Georgetown; Capt.
Martins Seaford; Commissary of Sussex
county, in charge of the arsenal at
Georgetown.
In most of these cases the full amounts
were recovered, but in one or two the
full extent of the seizures could not be
definitely determined.
There are other claims of like nature
amounting in the aggregate to quite a
large sum, but their recovery will depend
upon the testimony attai nable IN relation
to the character and extent of the seiz-
rAG
