COMPILED EVERY DAT FOB KVIHIHO TRLBOnAPU. Itcciproclty How the Question Stands. From th Timet. In what position does the queftion of reci procity stand f What U the policy demanded by a due regard Jo the revenue, the capital, and the industry of the United States ? What answer shall be piven to the wandering diplo matists whom the provinces have sent to renew a bargain for their advantage f Depplte the chronic bitterness of our party conflicts, It is satisfactory to know that upon one vital point connected with this question our leading public men, and our leading journals of both parties, are in the main agreed. Union and Democrat, all couccde that the existing one-sided arrancement shall be broneht to an end. There may not be entire harmony touch ing the course pursued in bringing about Its termination, but upon the tact that its operation was partial and unjust, and that ics continuance should not be permitted, there is little or no dillerence of opinion. Tue provincial papers, we see, would fain per Fiiade themHelves that the lceling aeainst the treaty is the product of some transient cause, and is In part the result of lobby influence. They will discover thir mistake in due season. F..r we are persuaded that upon lew subjects outside of the great constitutional issues raised by the Rebellion, has public opinion pronounced a more emphatic verdict than upon this question of so-called reciprocity. Here and there may bo found nu individual directly or Indirectly inte rested in some branch of provincial trade, who demurs to the Judgment and pleads for its post ponement, if not its reversal. But the excep tions are so rare that they serve to indicate the strength of the rule. Lei us briefly recapitulate. The treaty was originally accepted by th s country quite as much because of what it was supposed to imply as because of what it actually expressed. Its spirit was deemed more important than its letter. It was held to foreshadow a steady growth of com mercial intercourse, and an. ever-widening area ot commercial enterprise. Ii: these respects our people have been provokingly disappointed. The trade fostered by the treaty incited Catada to the adaption of proiects designed to deprive our carriers of the irailic on which they calculated. " Financial dillieulties thence arising were made a pretext tor a series of tariff charges, each more inimical to our manufacturing in dustry than the one which preceded it. Ibis was bad enough, but it was only the be ginning of the end. The imposition of higher duties upon our exports was followed by a change in the mode of levying duties which amounted to virtual discrimination against our importers and in favor of the British trader. The sau;e unjust principle was brought into plav against our lake shipowners, in favor of English and Canadian interests, -in reality, then, Canada herself abrogated the treaty years ago; her poli ticians ti am pled on its spirit and disregarded the principle which gave it lite; and therefore for it continuar.ee to the present time her people have been indebted to the generosity, the mag nanimous forbearance of the United States. Apart from the principle involved, it has be come apparent that in almost every sense, the treaty, viewed from the American stand-point, has been au unmitigated failure. Under iu in fluence, one of the best features of our trade with Canada has declined steadily, until it has almost ceased to be worth mentioning; and Eng lish trade thrives in its stead. We send little that would not be sent, with or without a treaty; we receive little that would not be received were the treaty in or out of existence; the chief ditl'er ence visible consisting in the tact, that whereas our exports enter tho provincial market loaded with heavy customs duties, our imports Iroui the province come into competition with the pro ducts of our farmers and lumbermen upon terms peculiarly favorable to the foreign producor. In other words, we srive a great deal tor nothing. Evon, the yearly aggregate of trade looks much larger than it is, because Canada calculates our exports in greenbacks, while our customs valua tion ha sold for its basis. Sifted and tried, the whole thing carries upon its face so much that looks like humbug, that the wonder is how we have been inducea to submit to it until now. The first point to be noted is, then, that tho actinn ot Congress in reference to the treaty ought to be and is irrevocable.. There should be no misunderstanding here. The action was entered upon deliberately, in full view of conse quences,' aud by that action we are prepared to abide. The mockery of reciprocity will termi nate on the 17th of March, all prayers from Canada to the contrary notwithstanding. The idea of a temporary extension should be scouted as unworthy of notice. We have craved ad herence to the spirit of the contract through tiresome years; now wo stand upon the letter of the notice. The course hereafter to be pursued by this country will no doubt be governed bv two con siderations, alwa9 important, but more import ant now man at any lormer time, we are re quired to protect our revenue, and incidentally to protect our Industry. We do not use the term in a controversial sense, or in any relation to the abstract merit ot protection or iree trade ns a principle. We mean t imply that inasmuch as the necessities of the Hatiou have given birth to a system of taxation wi.ich permeates every where, and makes itaolt felt aliite on the farm, in the forest, and in the workshop, we are bound to take care that the products of American labor sdiull not be exposed to unrestrained competition with foreign unifies in no way tributary to the national tnaoivry. To this cxient, probably, tre trader aud protectionisi coincide. The burdens borne by our own poo le must bo shared, in some deirree and some manner, by any other people who would come in sellers into our market. Bo long as the existing system of iuteriml revenue shall la t, so long we should guard American labor, howsoever employed, from unequal competition with the products of ether countries. Moreover, it will be the duty of Congress to see that the doctrine of equivalents is mor fairly applied than in lb34. There mint be a quid pro quo for every thing. Aud there must be a more correct valuation ot some ot the things pre sented bv Crnada under the guise of considera tion. The navigation ot the St. Lawrence, for instance, may properly be treated as ot only trifling value, partly on account of natural and, thereiore, cverhistinsr causes, partly on account of that foreign line which lor the time controls the comiueice of the river. Tl e bonding system, too. is a lever in our hands, no longer to reruain idle. It is h system which, in its relation to Cana fa, yields us bare iy nominal property. Our carriers have lost their , share of the trallic, the bulk of tho goods passing through this coiin'rv to Canada, in bond, enter ing at Portland, nd beinir carried over a foreign railway thence to Montreal. In truth, tho bond ing system, as at this moment used by Canada, is a contrivance for introducing iuto the pro vince goods which are a;torvardi smuggled iucj the United State?. We furnish an instrument which is used to our detriment. The bondina svstt in and reciprocity should, therefore, stand or fall together, so far ns either applies to the nelghboriiie province. It is not our business now to discus in detail the terms of our tutuie commercal relations with the Br.tkdi Provinces. The general benrlugs of the treaty, and the senem' principles enter ing into tho question, are all we have yet ven tured to touch. "Without essaying the luuctlous of prophecy, or atiempiinsr to coinoeto with iho vt-emen ot the orin in me mauer or dipio niucv. wo may suggest tuat tne time ot vague promises and plau'ible pledges, and the inge . nious niagnifviner of small tlnuss Into great, nut with the expiring treaty.

"Faxt bind fast find" should be the governing maxim In our future dealings with provincial ambassadors. Reconstruction. From the Trihune, The New York Timet sect fit to say that "There are certain advocates of negro suffrage who profess to be willing, under certain condi tions, to see the Southerii States restored to thoir trw position in the Union, without requiring them to assent to a general enfranchisement of the negro population. Thus, a city Journal, published mainly in the interest oi the blacks, says: 'Only render it certain that an honest, Industrious, thrifty, intelligent negro shall not be proscribed merely because of his color or race, and we will aaree to almost anytnlng.' If tho Journal from which we quote speaking, as It is presumed to do, for a very considerable Radical party is sincere in proposing a com promise, there ought to be little difficulty in coming to terms .'' As we do not seem to have made ourselves thoroughly understood by tho Timet, we will restate our essential position with the utmost pos sible lucidity. They are as follows: I. We regard it as of tho highest and most im minent consequence that all political and civil distinctions, privileses, disabilities, or differ ence?, based on caste or color, should be forever abolished. Never intrinsically lust, they have by the overthrow of slavery, been rendered lHi'inelv lniDcrtinent and absurd. While slavery existed they nad a certain excuse, if no reason. In the fears of tne slaveholding class; now they are obsolete In reason and as much bchlud the ace as the Spanish Inquisition would be in Ohio or Wisconsin. To our apprehension, this Issue towers above all others in importance: so that, white we are devoted to the protection and diversification of our rational industry, we would gladly postpone this or any other political end, to the complete enfranchisement of the hitherto degraded and downtrodden four millions of our countrymen. II. while wo require and strive lor Impartial suffrage, we do not ask nor desire thai every man snail be a voter, for we do not thinn every man ought to be. We hold that no man who chooses to live by theft, or swindling, or beggary, or by pandering to vice nohabitual drunkard no idiot no lunatic no Drolessional camblcr has any moral right to be a voter. And, while we propose no educational test, we are perlccily content to sec such a test ptseuted and adopted, even though it should for years preclude the en franchisement ot a large majority of the blacks. ISo long as no harder tests are applied to or re quired ot t'lctn than of whites, and no obstacle interposed to their acquirvn? the knowledge de manded, we waive a l inquiry, and agree in ad vance to whatever criterion ot fitness to vote "conservatives" may see fit to propose. 111. We propose no " compromise" in fact, we propose nothing. What we are most intent on is such a recognition by the Southern whites of the humanity and actual rights of the blacks as will pr"clude the necessity ot any compro mise, any higpliny, any contention. We should even prefer a partial ' measure of Justice freely accorded by the Southern whites to a complte one imposed on them by the power of the trium phant Union. Of all the mad blindness now .provoking sadness, the blindness which com pels the blacks to look northward lor cham pions of their rights is most lamentable. The South would be this day richer by billions of dollars if her whites and blacks were thoroughly reconciled and cured of all reciprocal distrust. We do wish the ablest and wisest ot the two races would ferthwith meet, confer, aud aaree on a basis of future concord and mutual good will we stipulating beforehand to give our hearty assent thereto, and to consider their accord the end of controversy on the subject. And we hope Congrss may hold the niat.er of reconstruction in abeyance until it can be seen whether the manifest and rapid increase and ditlusion ot goodwill between whites and blacks at the South may not seasonably result in some such understanding and reconciliation between them. IV. As to what Congress should or should not do with regard to negro suffrage, it depends so clearly on the temper und uction ot the Southern whites, that whatever mlcht be wisely said of it to-day may have become obsolete and unfit two weeks hence. If those whites shall see tit to cherish a disloyal, inimical, rebellions spirit, and shall bo moved therf bv to annoy and perse cute Unionists, white or black as in some lo calities they notoriously have done then we should judge that they are not yet tit to be "re constructed" at all. If they are bent on evading and nullifying the anti-slavery Coutitutional Amendment, tnen Congress ought to take etfec tlve measures to defeat that purpose and secure the treedmen against all forms and degrees of oppression. But it, on the contrary, the South ern whites inclir.e Generally to deal fairly by the Southern blacks, then we would have Congress touch the matter very lightly as lightly as pos sible. We have faith' that the Joint Committee will fairly, searchingly investigate and report the essential tacts, lor the guidance of Congress and the information of the country. Such, bnlly stated, are our views of recon struction, whether tho limes deems them "sin cere" or otherwise. We trust they, at any rate, nre not hard to be understood at least not by those who wish to comprehend them. Reconstruction The Power of Congress and the Schemes ot the Radicals. From the Jltrald, The Southern armies are disbanded; the Southern politicians acknowledge that their attempt to destroy the eountry was a grand error, and all resistance to the Government from the side ot the South is given up. Still civil war rages, jfend perhaps with more bitterness than it did when the wh ile country was in arms. The country is torn by dissen-i .u that is civil in a double sense, and its best interests are imperilled by a war move bitter and savage than the former .Vurwas, ju.-t us the nature ot the politician is more acrimonijus audi vind.ctive than that of the soldier. The political extremists of the North the radical have in simple fact njw taken the position lately held by the soldiers ol the South. They ure the savuge and desperate ene mies ol the Government, the country, the Union, aud order. "Not only do they embarrass to the utmost all the attemprs ol the Executive to fulfil the duties of his office, so tar a relates to the restoration ot civil authority in all parts of the country, but 11 is uiuir u.-ui purpose to flop sucn restoration bv nnv and every means, and to prevent in Con gress the lcgilution necessary to pacify and set tle the country. They asert'tiiat their object in this i to aecuie the rights q: the nero; that they fear a too rapid reconstruction w ill leava the negro in fact a slave, though nominally tree; and that they tiesire to prevent recon.-truction only till they can secure a guarantee for full i,us tii'e to ell classes of the Southtrn people. They make this specious assertion to secure their posi tion betore the country. In truth, the negro, is a pretext, and their philanthropic devotion to his rights is a sham. Th evidence of this is the tact that it lies with these radicals to pass through Congress a law that will give the negro ull tio rights that any one has ever claimed for him. They can do it; but they will not, simply because by so doing thev would restore the country to its normal position und prevent the political anarchy which their leaders, Stanton aud Stevens, count upon io lilt them into higher places than they now holdt t'uder the Constitution as it now stands the negro is in the hands of tho National Legisla ture. This is the point to which the growth of the spirit of freedom, contending always fgainst properly interests and preiudices, has brought us. We began on this continent, in the colonial times, with different systems of slavery. The negro was a slave, the Indian wai a slave, aud the v bite European emliTiaut was also a slave, ltcligious freedom was the Ireedoni that the set tlers sous ht heie, because it was in religion that they felt the Old World tyranny. But with the progress of ideas social and political freedom also came to be discussed; aud when the war ot the i evolution began the Liberty party, in the Declaration of Independence, laid down a plat form of broad principle that looked to the win ing out ot all political distinctions between man and man. On that platform they won the great fight; but In the hour of victory' thev were compelled to abandon ccttaln of those principles. This was to secure a harmony between the States that was deemed worthy iho sacrifice. The pressure ot material interests was too great, and the founder of the republic, in framing the Uonsti tution, agree J that the original platform was impracticable to a certain extent. So the Con stitution secured less than the Declaration had claimed; but-it secured a great (teal. Our forefathers compromised on slavery as it was left with the more readings because, fiercely as the material interests hold to it, it was then believed by men of tho best Judgment ttmt it was a doomed Institution that it was dying out. It did die out to a irreat degree, and just as it seemed at its last gasp the growth of cotton and the invention ot the cotton-gin gave it a new life. But there was a great spirit at work In the world all the time. Wc had in the old struggle lighted up men's minds by our example, and started tho great battle for freedom in Europe. We ct France in motion, and France, carrying our own Ideas further than we had done, shamed us by showing the point at which we had stopped short. So slavery was forced to a detined frontier, at which it chose to tight us. We fought it, and it went down forever. The I w rue jMiropean emigrant, censing to pc a siave, 11 nu ueuu jjmueu uy me iUiisi uihiuii in mi; u ot Congress. Congress was empowered to settle his position by a naturali.ation law. It is now empowered to' do the same with the negro. All distinctions between the two races were based on the fact that the negro was in slavery. Sla very is wiped out, and all those distinctions go with it. The late slave Is now an agricultural laborer, a farmer, a mechanic, new to southern lawsJust coming under their influence as the emiginnt from suoihcr land does; and it lies I with CotiBiess to settle his position Dy anaturan , zatlon law, which is a suffrage law. Congress, which tne radicals control, thus bus the Dower to do iust what they pretend is neces sary bt what they declare they are delaying reconstruction to secure. Why, then, do they not pass tne law they want?' Because au mis fuss over the negro is a pretense Because what they really want is anarchy. Because Stanton and Stevens, the chosen leaders, like a Danlon and Marat, tear tranquillity and peace.and hope tor dominion in a strife of extermination against tho South. Hence . thoir Committee on Ke construction which is only another Coramit'ee on Public Safety another Jacobin club to give direction to all the violent and unscrupulous elements to make the proscriptions. Iho 1'resi dent, in virtue of the nearly dictatorial powers with which the war power clothes the Execu tive, began the restoration of the States in the proper wnv. His Provisional Governors, and the calling iuto bring the dormant political vitality ol the people by conventions, weie all right. Gencial Jackson's Earlier and Later Opinions. From the World, The Tribune evades onr arguments, and makes a superfluous addition to tho innumerable illua- trations it has given of Its characteristic want of precision. Wo dealt with tho Coleman letter as an argument, remarking Incidentally that it could have no weight as authority, since General Jackson subsequently changed his opinion. It is evident, however, that the Tribune attaches importance to it chiefly as authority, tor the letter merely repeats the stock arguments of the protectionists, long -ago' trite. Tho fact that General Jackson came. In a few years after wcrds, to perceive their fallacy, makes it absurd to invoke his name as lending any support to the protectionist caiwe. Wc called the views ex pressed by General Jackson in the Coleman letter (as he himself afterwards considered them) crude and immature. To this the Tribune replies that they must have been the mature views ot his ripest judgment, since General Jackson was, at that time, buy seven years of age 1 As if the maturity ot "i man's judgment on any given question depended on his age at the time of loniumr it, and not on tho completeness oi his investigation. What would be thought of a writer who should quote from Sir Robert Peel's speeches in favor of the Corn Laws, made in Parliament at the age ot tilty-seven, as evidence of Peel's mature opinions on 'that subject, in tho face of the fact tnat the Corn Laws were afterwards repealed uhder his premiership and by his efforts? The Tribune might, with as much sense, quote from Washing ton's letter to a British officer in 1774, to prove that Washington (then forty-four, and in the maturity of his faculties) ought to be ranked by posterity as an opponent of American inde pendence. The Intmne, as if it had a glimmering con sciousness of the absurdity of this argument, supports it by a statement still more remarkable. We quote: To which wo answer: General Jackson was over liliy-sevou years oid when he wrote this letier. lie had bten a prisoner ot war more than forty years before, and hud enteied Ct-nurcss nearly thirty years before. Kapolcon Bonaparte, bora two years alter him, had run his memorable career and died three years beiore. If General Jackson's opinions on ttiH tnnfl question were "crude" whon bo was titty-seven years old, It is most unlikoiv that they ever became "miunre." And m tact, thuugli party exigencies some what mooilioil his attitude in after years, there is no evidence, ai.d no probability, that he ever renounced the opinions set forth in tills letter. Supposing the editor of the TrUtune to be rather misinformed than iiiMncere (which is the more charitable view), he figures beloie the country as one of the hardiest blunderers that ever hazarded ransom assertions in print. The two things on which he values himself are poli tical ecoLomv and American history: but though he has a jumble of Ideas ou both, he seldom puts his pen to paper without proving that he has no exact knowledge of eithpr. The want ot early discipline or nu incorrlgiblelooseness of thought renders him incapable of precision, in the presidential election of 1828, the great issue was the tariff; John Quiiicy Ailams, supported by Henry Clay, being the tariff, and Andre Jack sop, the anti-protectionists' candidate. In 132, the tarilf and the bank were the tw o leading issues; Henry Clay being fie candidate Of the bauk-tarifi party, aud Jackson of the opposite. What a consummate political hypocrito General Jackson must have been, if, as the Tribune alleges, he never renounced the protectionist opinions ho held in 1S24 1 It itay seem superfluous to add j ositive proofs to tho 'irresistible nresummiou lounded on General Jackson's leadership of tho uuti-toriff party during Hie whole period of his presi dency; but a willingness to contound a charla tan and "bray him In e mortar," leads ns to present an array of evidence which would be unnecessary it wc were dealing, not with a crochet-breeder, but a man of sound .judgment. Will the 2r,bune concede that Mr. L iucrolt is tee peer Qf Us editor in a knowledge ot American history? Here is what Bancroft says (Miscel lanies'" page 407) of General Jackson's revised opinions ou the tariff question : J he discharge of the public debt brought with it a greut reduction ol the public buideus, and brousrlit, ,f iitccfbitv. into view, iho n.iestion how lar Ame rica should follow, of choice, the. old restrictive policy oi high duties under which Europe had op. iMissiid Amnrinn! nr tiniv mr mil) thoilld rely UP0U tier own freedom, enterprise, and power, doivinjr the competition, eeekmg the luutkuts, and receiving tlie i rod not of the world.

Letting this extract from Bancroft pass for whatitmavbe worth (in puroplnlon, very little), we proceed to cita more decisive authorities. Either Daniel Weh.stev was. or tho editor of tho 'Jrilune is (we Veep to our charitablo hypothesU of his honest v) an egregious blunderer and ignoramus. lii his snei-eli at Worcester (ee his "Works," vol. l),1ust previous io the presidential election of 1h:!2, Mr. Webster amiigued Geueial Jackson us an out and out, root-aud branch and protect'onist, and sustained his accusation by rresistiolc Drools. We make the following Quota tions: . ' And first, what are Its ririnciplos, and what Its policy, repectfTig the tariff? Is the present Administration for. or agalust. the Tfe pilnciples of the Administration, aecord'nv to Its tnost tret tit avowal ot those principles, are ad verse to tho protective policy, decidedly hostile to the whole system, root and branch ; and this on pet- DiBneni una alleged consiiiunouni grouuus. w . w w v w In tli at compound of executive opinion contained in me veto oiossnRe, the whole principle oi protec tive policy is plainly and pointedly denounced. Mr. Webster then proceeds to quote General Jackson'sown language. "The message." he said. "in unvcnea allusion to tne protective policy ot tne country, noiustnis language:" (FROM JACKSON'S VETO HESSAQI.) Most of the difficulties our Government now en eouuteis, and most ot the dinner which now im pend over our Union, have sprung from an aban donment of the legitimate objects of Government by our natlnnul legislation, and tho adoption of such principle as are embodied by this act. Many of eur rich men have not boon content with equal piolection and equal benefits, bat have bosouiiht us to make them richer bv act of CongrcM. 11 y at tempting to gratliy their desirj, we huve, in the re sult ot our legislation, anayod aoction against oc tion, mterest avainst interest, and man avniH-t man In afoarlul commotion which threaten to shako the Inundation ol oar Union. It is time to pause in our career, to review our principles, and. If posslblo, revive that devolea patriotism and spirit of compro mise which Distinguished the sagos of the Involu tion and the lathers ot our l ii'on. It we cannot at once, in justice to interest vested under improvi dent lei-lntion, make our Govornmont what ft ought to be, wo can at least take a stund against all new grants ot monopolies and exclusive privileges. aua not any prostitution of our Govorninent to the advancement ot the luw at tho expense ot the nianv, and In lavor of compromise aud gradual reform in our code ol .aw and system ot political economy. No reader ot this extract will dissent from the justice of the reranrks wh'ch follow it in Mr. Webster's speech. He said: "The plain mean ing of all Ibis is, that our protecting laws are founded in. an abandonment of the legitimate obiecta ot government; that this is the gieat source of our dillieulties: that it Is tima to" ston in our career, to review tho principles of theso laws, ano. as soon as we can, make our Govern ment what it ought to be. fco one can question, Air. President, that these paragraphs from the last official publication of thej President show tnat, in nis opinion, rue tariti.as a system de signed fur protection, is not only impolitic, but unconstitutional also. They are quite incapable of any other version or interpretation. Thev dely all eplanation and all glosses." Now let the reader estimate the indescribable Ignorance (or, if he chooses to take the other hypoihesis, effrontery) of a political controver sialist, who, wben hard pushed by an opponent. cvudes the body of that opponent's reasoning and fastens on its skirts, with such a result as this. . Considering that we were challenged, over and over again, with an air ot insolent bravado. to meet him on this cTound, we supposed, when we at last accepted, that he would, at least, show wore skill inllymg! Why need he have taken refuge in such a position ' as that in which he bus exposed himself to this pitiless riddling? When he makes another equally skilful retreat, "mav we be mere io see: ' P It OSTECTUS OF THE CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY OF OKTII CAROLINA. T Land of this Company consist ol 120 Acres, In y eckknburg county, Ttorta Carolina, 3 mile Irom the town of Charlotte, on a branch of Sugar Crock, which stream furnishes good water-power lor grinding the ores, Till Mine was first opened In 1838 by a man named Car- ion, who worked It successfully for a number ot year He died In the town of Charlotte, In IMS, worth over hall a million dollar. 1 wo abaft have bten sunk on tnt property, one of them Icet, the other 60 loot, on different veins. averagtrg trom two to three leet In thickness, which veins still continue on down Increasing In width and richness. These shaft are In good order, and ore can be readily taken c nt at anytime. Other vein have been discovered on this property, ai.d tested, and proved to be very rich In gold. The ores of this mine are known as the brown ore. and very rich, yielding readily 81 per bushel. This I believed to be one of the best and most certain mine In the State, on account of the abun dance and quality of the ore, aud the ease with which It l obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Sfajor Z A. Grier from 1840 to the breaking out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and intend to erect machinery and put the mines In Immediate opeiatlon. The many advantages of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It. is more reudlly reached, and has;abundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can bo worked all the year, and not, as in tho case of Colorado andNevada.be compelled to lie ide for three or lour month Inconsequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having been worked lor a long time proved to be a rich paj Ing one. We do not, thereiore, have to Incur tne rlkk there I In an nndeveloaed property, but can count on large and Immediate returns on the in vest ment. II avlng an ore that ream y yield ten do'lars per bushel, some estimate can be made of the value ot this property. With the present Imperfect system of mining In this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, ten tonsot this oie can be taken eut dally from every shaft opened, intimating, say tl teen busne to the ton, the dully yield will be iliteen hundred dollar liora one shaft, allowing three hundred dollars per dky for expenses. The net pioduct will be 1200 per day; counting 300 working day to the year, the yearly proceeds wlu be $3611,001), which yield can be largely Increased by extending tho work. Thl Is consldwred a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners ot that locality. The Assaver of the L lilted Mates Mint at Charlotte, In speaking of this property, say it lias low equal In productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above product tun be doubled.
