Temperance Memorial.- A memorial
was presented to Major McMlchael ye ' relay
relative to the sale of liquor ia the cltjr of Phila
delphia: ' "The memorialists nnre tliat the task of nun
pressing, m fur s law ran suppress, that tratllc
in much easier now than when Robert T. Con
rad did almost entirely r-upprrss it, by reason of
the fact that the Sunday la of the 2th of Feu
ruaty, 1855, was not oiine't'd wlien he first, bo
came Mayor. Now tbe mod of proccert'nir is
'easier, the penalty i more severe, the crime of
telling or giving; bqnor is dist-nctly pointed out;
and your memoriiilistn believe that, if the Mayor
is determined to compel diligence on th part of
his otlicers, the drinkinp ol spirituous or malt
liquors, wine, or cider, on Sundav, can be bo far
diminished that the day of rust will become what
an ovcrwhelmlnp majority of tho citi.ens desire
ltthoulrt be a day for the ease ol creation, un
polluted bv the disorders and crimes wbicl now
desecrate It."
The Mayor replied: "Centlemen: I take
pleasure in receiving you upon such a mission.
I have not lecelved many communications upon
this subject. I assure you I will do all 1 can
consistently to aid the cause of temperance in
this city. I will (cite your memorial an early
and cart ful attention."
New Hall fob the Chamber of Com
merce. The Corn Exchange ot this city, the
most vigorous of all our commercial Institutions,
is about to have a new biiilihng provide! lor it,
in much the Banie wry that the Union Leatrue
House was built; that is, not by the Association
itself, but by a corporation formed out of a num
ber of Its member, with the undcrstandine that
the tdillce ih to be rented by the Association
when finished. In point of fuel, the Com Ex
chanre itself has no surplus fund for the pur
pose, although the contributions of the mem
bers exceed the regular expenses. The property
purchased is on the east side of South Second
street, above Walnut, and tlio new structjre will
be one hundred teet Iront bv one hundred and
fifty (ect deep. The architect John Crump was
the designer and b'lilderol' the Lcajrue Houe.
The Corn Exchiiiiee will drop its name when it
enters this new shell, Bnd henceforth bo denomi
nated the I'hiladelphia Chamber of Commerce,
& much more appropnutc title, as it now includes
a wide range ol business no expressed by its
old name.

In the "Letters of Mozart," recently published
by Hurd ft Houghton, we tiud his vie a s of
iWues und fugue-phiyinc. He writes to a Iriend
in relation to one of his compositions of this
chi's:
'My dear w ife Cont-tnnze is, in fa' t, the origin
of this luaue coniina: into tlie world. liuroii
ven Swieten, to whom 1 go every Sunday, gives
me all Handel s aud Sebastian liach's fugues
(niter I have played them to him) to take home
with nic. When." Coustauze heiird these, she loll
in love with them at once: she will listen to
nothing but fugues, nnd particularly the works
(in this style) of Handel and llaeh. As she had
oiten heard me play Hurtles out of my head, she
nsked me il I never wrote them down"; and when
1 sain I never did, she reproached me tor not
having composed this most artistic and beauti
ful tyle ot music, and never ceased her entrea
ties till I wrote a lotiiiv for her. So this is its
origin. I have purposely tiim-d it andante macs
two, that it mav not be played too quick; for if
a fugue is not rather slowly played, the subject
as it comes in cannot be distinctly and clearly
beard, aud thus naturally produces no effect. 1 11
the course of time, and when I have a favorable
opportunity, I inteud to write live others, and
present them to liaron von Swieten, whose col
lection ot music, though small in numburs. Is
great in value. So on this account I beg you to
adhere to your promise, not to show it to a soul.
Learn it by heart ami olay it. A fugue is not
easily caught by another person Irion merely
hearing it."
-The ochre works of . & F. Kim: Ao Co..
dealers in paiuts, oils, and dye stull's, at Nos. 2li
and 27 India street, Do.ston, were destroyed by
tire on triuay nignt last, :tu instant. The
building was of wood, of considerable size, and
two stories in height, and contained valuable
machinery, raw material, and manufactured
stock. The loss is estimated at about $15,000,

A woman was frozen to death iu Syracuse
on Sunday niirht. The particulars are as fol
lows: Mrs. Thompson, who risides alone, is
subject to tit? and also addicted to dtiuklng, an 1
was juioxicaieu wneu last seen on sunaay even
ing. It is supposed that she must have been
taken in a lit while in the pantry: for not
makiug her appearance us usual, Impjiry was
inaue lor ner wnereacouts, ana on entering her
house, she was found lying ou the floor of the
pantry, Irozen still.
A most fiendish murder was committed at
Corners Creek, about five miles from Detroit,
on Friday last. A man named John Cooper
visMcd the house of his sister, Mrs. Lynch, an 1
niter remaining there for soim- time, drew a re
volver Irom hi-J pocket und deliberately tired at
her, but missed his maik. He then seized an
axe and made a brutal attack upon her, telling
lier to the floor, ami then commenced cutting
her body in a mot horrible nitu.ier. While ho
was perpetratiug this atrocious deed, a little son
ot Mis. Lynch lnloi med some workmen in the
vicinity of the act. who immediately rushcl to
the house, seized the miirderei-.und brought him
to jail in Detroit. He admits that he intended
to kill her, and says that she murdered his father
some years ago in Ireland, and he committed
the deed to avenge ins death.

CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY
OP
NORTH CAIIOLINA.
The Land of thla Company consists ot 1J Arren. In
V eckli nburg county. North Carolina, 3S ml'es irom tho
town of t harlo'tto, on a branch of Sttgtr Creek, which
stream turtilslies good water-power for grinding the oros
Tills M mo Was first opened in 1838 b a man rnvned Car
son. who worked It successfully lor a number ot years
He died In the town of Charlotte, in 1WK, wortn over
hali a million dollars.
1 wo shafts have been stink on tnis property, one of
tlKin feet, the other CO feet, on different veins,
averaging tiom two to three feet In thleanoss, which
veins still continue on down Increasing In wldtu
ana richness. These shafts are In good order, and ore
can beTcadlly taken tut at ai y time. Other veins have
been discovered on this property, ai.d touted, and proved
to be very rich In gold. The ores ol this mine are known
as tho brown ore. and very rich, yielding readily 91
per bushel. Tbls Is beleved to be one of the bt stand
must certain mines In the State, on account of the abun
dance and quality of the oio, and tho ease with which it
is obtained and reduced. This property has been
worked by Major Z A. Grlcr from 1840 to the breaking
out of tho war. Ibis Company have purchased tbis
property, aud intend to erect machinery and put tho
mines In Immediate opetalion. The many advantages
of this mine over the fnines ot Colorado and Nevada cun
hardly be estimated. It Is more readily reached, and
haslnhuudance of fuel, with, cheap labor. It can be
worked till tho year, and out, as In the case of Colorado
and Nevada, be compelled tolio id.e for three or tour
mouths Inconsequence of the severity of the winter.
'ltils mine having been worked lor a long time proved
lo be a rich pay lng one. We do not, therctoro, have to
Incur toe risk there Is In an nnduvelooed property, bm
can count on larye and Immediate returns on the Invest
ments. Having an ore thutrcadl y yields ten dollars per
bushel, some estimate can be made of the value of this
property. With the present Imperfect system of mining
In Uita locality, and absence ot proper machinery, ten
tonsot tbls oie can be tuken aut daily from every shaft
opened. Estimating, say fl.teen boshe to tbe ton, the
daily yield will be fllteen hundred dollars trom one shaft,
allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. The
net pioductwill be S12UU per day; counting 3UU working
days to tho year, the yearly proceeds will bo 83(i0,00i),
which yield con he largely Increased by extending tho
works. Tbls Is considered a very low estimate of tho
capacity of tbis mine by experienced minors ot that
locality. Ihe Assaycr of the United States Mint at
Charlotte, In speaking of this property, says It has few
eiini8 In productiveness In that country, and with
proper management aud machinery the above product
can be doubled. .
