A Berlin correspondent of tha Boston Transcript writes : It does an American good to hear men talk about our country now. When I was here four years ago, the ignorance .about the United States was scarcely more amazing than the supercilious contempt with which this vain nation looked down upon us. We were nothing but a race of braggarts; we had no science, no art, no scholarship, no power, no well-directed energy; nothing but a chaotic mad passion for wealth, and a soil which, with even our wretched manage ment, would make us rich. But now how changed! Now it is pleasant to fold one's arms and hear these people speak of America and the great scale on which everything is done there. The Germans do not push us behind the English to-day. It has been one of the good thing of the war that it has not only revealed us to ourselves, but to the world. One can now go over Europe and say I am an American, with more pride than a Ro man could ever boast of his citizenship. We always had faith in America, and now Europe has begun to do so too. They think that we are a strange nation, and that we have our own ways of doing things; they would not wonder at anything which might badone by Americans singly or collectively, as individuals or as a republic; but they th i ink that we understand ourselves and can go through without fear or favor. Therefore, a man can lift up his head in Europe now and thank God that he is an American. The Mammoth Cave is lientaeky Colonel Cregan, to whose family this great natural curiosity belongs, was a resident of Louisville, Ky. He went to Europe some 30 years ago, and found himself frequently questioned as to the wonders of the Mam moth Cave—a place he had never visited, and of which he had heard but little of at home, though living within 90 miles of it. He went there on his return, and the idea struck him to purchase it and make it a family inheritance. In fifteen minutes bar gaining he bought it for $lO,OOO, and shortly after he was offered a $lOO,OOO for his pur chase. In his will he tied it up in such a way that it must remain in his family for two generations; thus appending its cele brity to his name. There are 1,900 acres in the estate, though the cave probably runs under Me property of a great number of .other land owners. For fear of those who might dig down and establish an entrance to the cave on their own property (a man's farm extending up to the zenith and down to the nadir), great vigilance is exercised to prevent such subterranean surveys and measurements as would enable one to sink a shaft with any certainty. The cave ex tends ten or twelve miles in several direc tions, and it has been conjectured that •"there is probably many a backwoodsman sitting in his hut within ten miles of the qsave, - quite unconscious that the most fash ionable ladies and gentlemen of Europe and America are walking without leave under his potatoes and corn."

The Secretary of the Company has visited these mines in company with several experienced miners and mining engineers, and given them a thorough examination.

The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACRES in Mecklenberg county, lidrth Carolina, 3!.,; miles from the town of Charlotte, on:a branch of Sugar Creek, which stream furnishes gook water power for grinding the ores. This Mime was first opened in 1838 by a man named Carson. who worked it successfully for a num berof years. He died in the town of Charlotte, in 184 e worth over half a million dollars. Two shafts have been sunk on this property, one of them 80 feet, the other 60 feet, on different veltut averaging from two to three feet in thickness, which veins still continue on down Increasing in width and richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can etreadily taken out at any time. %her veins have been discovered on this property, and '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 sto per bushel. This is believed to be one of the best and most certain mines in the State, on account of the abundance and gustily of the ore, and ease in which it is obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Major 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 operation. The many advantages of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It is more readily reached, and has abundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can be worked all the year, and not. as in the case of Colo redo and Nevada, be compelled to lie Idle for three or four months in consequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having been worked for a long time, proved to be a rich paylndone. We do not, therefore, have to incur the risk there is in an undeveloped pro • perty, but can count on large and Immediate returns on the investments. Having an ore that readily yields $lO per bushel, some estimate can be made of the value of this property. With the present imperfect system of mining in this locality, and absence of pro per machinery, tea tons of this ore can be taken out daily from every shaft opened. Estimating, say 15 bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be $1,500 from one shaft, allowing $3OO per day for expenses. The net product •wlll be $1,200 per day; counting 300 working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be $300,000, which yield can be largely increased by extending the works. This is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Assayer of the United States Mint at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, says it has few equals in productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above pro. duct can be doubled.
