• TIIE LAE F. SOP ERIOR COPPER It ecioN.-4'e w
an adequate idea of the mineral wealth of the Lake
superior country, particblarly in the torm of copper
and iron. The iron ores are exceedingly .etch, run
nitro up, as is understood, to 50 or 60 percent., and
t h e mines would no doubt be extensively worked,
were it not for the insane policy of our Government,
w h i ch substitutes English_ iron, the produce of cheap
c apital and pacper labor, for iron which every-
where abounds in our own country, andito where
as on the' south shore of Lake
i n a form so inviting
s u perior. The profits of copper mining in this ra
glan are enor-This tg conclusively este!s
fished by the s ,dss of the Boston and Pittsburgh
Piling Com usually denominated the Cliff
mine. That a cost the proprietors only S 1 10,-
Opp and in 1. 1 it paid the stockholders a rrofit of
$60.000, and in 1840, 8 . 84,000, and this year it pays
again a profit o &GO 000, being in nil 8204,000, or
-t.44.000 more than the whole cost of the mine, and
teat too in three years'. with aft their land, steam
engines and other paraphernalla of mining paid for,
a ril) with a considerablesurolus (as we understand)
deft as working capital and to cover contingencies.
It is believed that the Cliff mine will prove good
for an income of i 360,000 per annum for an indefi
nite period of time, and this is a sufficient expres
sion of our,ense of what may be done on Lake Su
perior.
Nothing can be mere curious or interesting than
hese ancient pits or diggings. it may; seem da
nk to believe that there• was a race of Olen engag
d extensively in mining,lor copper on , this conti
ent, long before it was discovered by Columbus,.
rid yet such was undrbtedly the fact. The forest
trees growing on the embankments, and some trees
growing in the pits themselves; will carry us back,.
in some instances, two or three centuries, and how
many predecessors theOad which grew arid fell
on the same spot, no one can tell. In these pits
stone hammers are found in great abundance, from
d single pound up to a weight which fib single man
could wield. No metal tools of any soil are dis
covered. flow the ancients. with such simple
means, could make such extensive excavations,
and to what "use they applied the vast amounts of
copper which they must have obtained, it ; is diffi
cult now to conceive. But the existence of these
pits may always be taken as proof conclusive that
there are valuable copper veins below.
Scsstarx I,3earAnz4.—We commend the follow
ing from Judge Strickland's paper, the Westyi.:bes
ter Rtpubiican, to those edoors who have been so
busily engaged for some time, in funning Cul. Bi
gler's cabinet t or him :
If Gov. Bigler .Ines astray in the selection of
his cabinet, and making, his apointments for other
principal stations, it won't he because of the absence
of efforts on the part of the press and politicians to
have them do—their !thing. The:fact is, there has
been, and ts, too much of this forestalling process.
It is - carried to such an extent as just to excite
suspicion that those engaged in it have net so much
at heart the' character, success and pOpularity of
Gov. Bigler's administration, as the carrying out of
some selfish and factious purpose. Col Bigler was
the unanimous nominee, and received the cordial
support of the entire . Democracy of the State. He
was the canafidate of no man or faction ; nor is he
indebted, in any extent, to anv man or. faction for
the office to which he has' teen elected ; and he
mil go inio the Executive Chair, perfectly free to'
do justice to the hide party of the State. Such, in
tact, is his duty, and, we doubt not, he so regards
,:. and will faithfully perform it, despite the efforts,
directed or- otherwise, which may be ,male to .
siverre him from it. Col. Bigler has been a num.
.tter of years in public life, and he is not ignorant of
the true characters, principles and merits, personal
a/ p7lstical, of the public men of the- Stare. That
he will select men worthy of himself and the De.
thocracy of the State, we have every confidence
By so doing, he will best subserve the Dolma, purity
end energy of the party—contribute to its strength
fir the great contest of '52,-Land make his own re
electtun in '5l certain by a majority greailyexceed
ing that which has just been given him."
Tilt DECLARATION SAVED:7'IIe , original draft of
the Declaration of Independence, to which the
names of the signers were actually placed by-their
own hands, halt not been destroyed by the lire at
the;National Library. as was at first apprehended.
It was not in that building at all. It is hanging in
the Patent !Kee, but in position and surrounded
by sorb combu,iihle materials as to keep it in con
tinned danger The ‘Vashington Union truly re
imarks. that the destruction of this-inestimable relic
ei rhe past. would ha more regretted by the people
Than the loss of milliont of money.
TEE BENTON FEUD IN MISSOURL—It is *fated
that since the return of Col. Benton to Missomi
me war between the Benton and Antr-Bentm par
ions of .the Democrat party in that State has tiro
len out wilt renewed 'spirit and bitterness The
St. Lour Union, the organ of the gentonites, has
proclaimed that there can be no union between the
tro parties, and 1)116114'es with commendation the

EONARD SCOTT & N 0.54 GYM st., New
I—alfork, continuo to publish the following British
Periodicals, viz !
The London Quarterly Review, (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig). •
The North British Review, (Free Church),
. The-Westminister Review; (Liberal).
Blackwood's . Edinburgh Magazine. (Tory).,
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. -It is their literary character which gives
thew their.ehief value. and in thau they stand c on
fessedly above all other journab4 of their clas..
Blackwood, still under the masterly guidaneo of
Christopher North., maintains its ancient celebtity,
anctis, at this time unusually a:tractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer, and other literary notably , ,
written fur that magazine, and first ap , raring iii its
columns, both in Great Hittain and in the I nisid
States. Such works as " The Castors" and -My
New Novel," (both by 13u1 wet:), "My Peiiiii-slat
Medal," " The Green Hand." and cater serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this couatry, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages of Black
wood, after it has been issued by Mei.srli. Scott. &
Co., so that Subscribers to the Reprint of that Ma
gazine may always rely on having the earliest read
ing of these fm,cinating
These Reprints have now been in successful op
eration in this country far (weary years; and their
circulation is constantly on the increase, nntwith•
s anding the competition they encounter from A mer
Man periodicals of a similar class and from nume
rous Eitel ica and Magazines made np of selections
from foreign peric'tlicala. This fact shows clearly
the high estimation in which they are held by the
intelligent reading public, and affords a guarantee
that they are established on a firm basis, and will
be continued without interruption.
