CSOLOGY or GOLD—The present age is
fur - grrst—tlis:vrt., its- of
deposits in possessions belonging to
nations whose inkthiltints speak the English
language. California and Australia hare
becmne watchwords for attracting
,the emi
grant from the Lanka of the Thames, the
Danube, the Stine, the St. Lawrence, the
llud . sonr, and the Mississippi ; and the China
man from the shores of the Yellow See.
No elle_ Can tell why it is that sold is
found in one pait oc the world 'and not ill
another. If it be true that this globe once
existed as a molten mass, gold should be
found sea component part, equally distrib
uted among all similar rocks in every part
of the tvoti.:b Sir Roderick Murchison be-
heves gold - td be a peculiar production of the
Silurian eta, and that it is, 48 it Were, "a
saurian fossil." Tho rocks, hoWerer, of
Talifonda and Australia ? from which Buell
large quantities of gold have been recently
"obtained by digging and ;washing, belong tci
the primary scrieLt, and not to the fossillifer
or aedimentary bed +. The primary lamina
ted rocks of our globe aro always found
more or less on edge, awl their vertical
cleavage planes am not due to the direction
of chains. of mountains, for they pass or; r
mountains, but they appear to he due to cur.
rents of magnetii,m, or electricity, which
seem to exert a'erystalizing power.
Gold is found is scales, and in nuggets or
pebbles, of every tile. Its.appearance is
that of having once been combined with the
primary elate rock.i, and then semirated by
superficial actions, of air and moisture. By
the aid of surface moisture, and the absorbing
action of the roots of Garr trees-I:owing on
the edges of gold bearing rocks, many of
them have. twen gradually disintegrated .and
decomposed leaving the gold behind, procip
'hated and aggregat«l into masses. Some of
the largest gold nuggets of Australia had
been found cinder such circumstances. It is
common opinion that gold is always- found
in greatest quantities in drift ; in the deep
atilt corners, and eddies o( rivers, but tt has
not thus been found in California. On the
contrary, it has been found most abundantly
in the rwdes, as the cdg, s of the primary
gold bearing rocks have been moat' exposed
to the action of' 'moisture and the atmos
phere.
GOLD RESOURCILS—The entire amount of
gold received at the 11._8. Mint and its
branches, in 1865, was 2 1 55,151,102; of this
vast sum, E 40,351,789 were domebtic pro

is about t 8,000,000 per annum, a mere trifle
in comparison wit ;that of the United States
and England.
The principal use of gold is that of making
It into coins, as a medium of exchange to

merchandise, permanent and notating prop-
erty.

In a review of the Presidenal candidates,
running over some twenty names, the New
York herald thus alludes to the statesman
who now holds 'so distinguished a place in
the thoughts of the American and European
world :—•• Mr. Buchanan, who is on his
way to the White House with his fiend;, is
undoubtedy i an able statesman, besides be
ing sometb g of a politician. Perhaps no
imincnt an in the Union possesses as
mtleh oc what is enrstryMn 'lenge ••
James Buchanan. As long ego as 1825,
when Mr. Clay was charged with 1, bargain
and corruption," and there were no charts
for politicians to steer by, Mr. iiOakn
managed in that bitter controversy to make
his position satisfactory to both parties. It
must not be inferred from this that wo re•
gard him as a frimining 'politician. Fa
from it:. Few men have 'exprestied more
prompt and decided Opinions. Even when
the OregMt hill, with :the Wilmot proviso,
was' before President Polk for approval, Mr.
Buchanan sr.rougly advised a veto, regarding
the restriction as unconstitutional. Al A
