Paper 11111 d
- Very anon .after the .present Sicretery of
the Interior Department enteral upon his
important duties, he caused a radical change
to be made iu the manner of working up for
publication, the returns of the Cens is office,
;and :the }first' tangible results 'is a .quarto
volume of 750 pages on the " Manufactures
'of the United States in 1860." The press has
not yet been supplied with copies of this
work as it undoubtedly
. will be, but from a
friend in Waehington we have obtained the
subjohiedsynopeis of facts, taken therefrom,
on the subject of paper and printing:
The total niitribiiruf paper manufactories
in the. United States was 555, of which 204
were in New England, 273 in 'the Middle
States, 53 in the Western States, and 24 in
the South.' Connecticut with 55 mills took
the lead hi New England, and New 'York
with'l26 mina was fir in 'advance of any
other State. The total value of this product
in 1860 was '521,216,802, since which time,
notwithstanding the closing of the Southern
mills, there has been a very large increase ;
and, ,when compared with the statistics of
France and England, we find that the an
nual , production ; in 'the United States ;is
oteater than that in either of those countries.
Some of the largest in this country
have turned out paper at the - rate of seven
tons per diem;, and the-articles whiph liave
entered into its composition have not' only
been cotton and linen rags, but the waste 'of
cotton, flax and hemp mills, and of rope and
cordage , factories; and such. things. as coir,
jute, straw, hey, stable-refase,varions kinds
of wood; eorn-husks, ' mulberry leaves and
bark, and various canes and reeds.
The first paper mill erected within the
"present lintits of the United States was'buil
by an - ancestor ,of . David Rittenhouse, a
Roxborough, Pennsylvania, in 1693; the
second mill was at Elizabethtown,
New Jersey, in 1728; dining Which year the
first ,;mill •in Massachusetts--was built in
Boston; another was built at. Olneysville.
Rhode Island, in 1765; and at Hempstead.
Long Island, another mill was erected in
1768, which is still in operation. The first
established west of the Allegheny
mountains was built at Fayetteville,' Penn
sylvania; and. a mill erected at
,Dalton.
Berkshire county, Massachusetts, in 1802,
has since been the centre of a very.extensive
paper business.
The book, job, and newspaper establish
ments returned, from; thirty-six States in
1860 numbered no - less than 1666; the aggre
gate capital employed by them amounted to
$19,622,318athe number of persons employed
in printing was 20,159; :the cost of carrying
them on was, 87,588,096; the cost of material
employed • was $12,844,288; and the total
:value of the product from this source was
$31,663,898.
Printing was first executed in the Ameri
can colonies at Cambridge, Massachusetts,
by a printer named Dave, who, in 1639,
printed the "Freeman's - Oath" oh a 'press
brought over from England during the pre
ceding year. His first regular book was the
"Bay Psalm Book," which was printed in
1640; it was an octavo of 300 pages, and a
second edition was 'printed in 1647. It was
in Da - ye's building that the materials were
set up for printing "Eliot's Indian Bible,"
and it was,there that all the printing was
• executed for the colonies for forty years.
In 1672, according to the Census office,
the first privilege in the nature of copyright
was granted to John. Usher, one of the
earliest booksellers of Boston, for a revised
• edition of the laws of the colony. In 1674
the first press' was established in Boston by
John Foster; the first in Philadelphia was
set up by William Bradford, in 1666; and
it is singular that, in this connection there
is no mention made by the census editor
of the first press established in New York.
The first press established in Connecticut
was at New London, in, 1710; the first in
Maryland, at Annapolis, in 1726; the first in
Virginia, at Williamsburg, in 1729; the
first in South Carolina, at Charleston, in
1730; the first in Rhode t lsland, at Newport;
by a brother of Benjamin Franklin, in 1732;
hand the first west of the mountains, in Ken
tucky; in 1786. The first patent for a print
ing-press was taken out in 1796 by Dr.
Apollos Linsley, of Connecticut. which was
:an improvement one press invented byone
Nicholson, and the number of printing
press manufactories now in the Union is
fourteen, mostly located in the three leading
Atlantic cities.—N. tY. Nation.
THERE 18 letuoir excitement in Western
'Ohio in regard to a new railroad that it is
proposed to constructfrom Newark through
"Granville, and perhaps Delaware, direct to
Marysville. From there it-is proposed to
run on the Delaware and Bellefontaine
Railroad to Zanesville and Bellefontaine.
The grading, it is said, is principally done
on this new route from Bellefontaine west
-to Lafayette or Logansport, Indiana. This
road will connect at Newark witty the Cen
tral Ohio and with the. Steubenville and
Pittsburgh Railroad. Its Western connec
tions will be excellent,and it is claimed that
it will be at least forty miles shorter than
any other route between the East and West.
A meeting was held at Bellefontaine on the
•Sth inst.,to consider the question of the new
road. It was well attended by persons
representing the different cities along the
route, and committees were appointed to
, confer with other railroad companies in re
gard to the enterprise. It is proposed to
make the Bellefontaine and Delaware Rail
road a part of the new one, and, as the Pre
sident of the Company favors the project, it
is 'expected that the stockholders of the old
road will donate or relinquish their stock on
condition that the .new road will be com
pleted. .A...Cominittee was appointed to ob
tain the release of the stock,and the meeting
adjOurned to meet at the call of the -Presi
dent.
DEATH rEom COLD.—The news is begin
ning to teach St. , Paul, Minnesota, of nu
merous deaths occasioned by the recent
snow storms and cold weather. Four men
were frozen to death in Freeborn county on
the 19th inst.. one a Mr.. James Wood, of
Ries Lake township. A lady living near
Blue 'Earth City, in Faribault county, on
the same day, got out of wood, and, placing
her children in bed; started for her father's
louse, about half a mile distant across the
prairie. , The next morning she was found
, dead within ten rods of the house. A Mr.
Thompion, of Blue Earth City, was in the
:same storm, 'and has not eincp been heard
from. He is supposed to have been buried
•in the snow. The destruction of: stock was
-very F
eat., One man in Freeborn county
.had one hundred and forty sheep buried in
- the ADOW, nearly all of which perished.
Numerous cattle have perished in different
parts of the State. ,
'INTERESTING DISCOVERY. - A, German
professor has discovered the means, by the
raid of chemistry, of recognizing the presence
*of cotton in linen, fabrics. He takes a piece
'of, suspected cloth, about two 'mches by
flaree-fourtlis of an inch, and after having
- unraveled both weft and warp, plunges it
•into an alcoholic solution of aniline and
luchine. The superfluous coloring matter
removedis by:washing the 'cloth:thus dyed
aevetal times m water. If, while it instill
vet, it be placed in a saucer containing
ammonia, the - cotton fibres will iminedi
ately become discolored, while those of 'the
linen will 'preserve a ftne red:color.'
Corrow.—lt is asserted by the English
journals, that the prospect of a'great cotton
, crop for: the neat year. in Egypt and. India,
are more flattering than. ever, before. Ex
tensive improvementa have been introduced
in the raising of the staple, and the, means'
4:lf transporting it from those cemitiles have
been largely increased andperfected. This , '
• .will prove not very welcome intelligence to
our Southern planters. The only practice* :
.ble way, to affect the .ludia-E&pt,trado
for the Smith to - bend its'energies to . the cul
tivation of the article at once. •

The _Governor istakin' g . steps to imme

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACRES
in Mecklenberg county, North 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 Mine was first opened in 1838 by a man
named Carson. who Worked it auccessfullY for a num
ber of years. He died in the town of Charlotte, in
1846, 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 veins'
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
be•readily taken out at any time. Other 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 $lO
per bnshel. This is believed to be one of the best and
most certain mines in the State, on account of the
abundance and quality of the ore, and ease in which
it is obtained ana 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 baa abundance of fuel, With cheap labor. It, can
be Worked all the year, and not, as in the case of polo
redo and Nevada, be compelled to lie Idle for three or
Pin" months in consequence of the severity of the
winter.
This mine having been worked for a long time
proved to be a rich paying one. 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
Ito 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, ten tons of this ore can be taken out
daily from every shaft opened. Estinmting, say 15
bushels'io the ton, the daily yield will, be '01,500 from
one shaft, allowing (800 per day for expenses. The net
product will be f 1,200 per day; counting 800 working
days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be $360,000,
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 Hint at
Charlotte, in speaking of this property, *MS'S it has few
equals - in' productiveness in , that country, and with
proiier management and machinery the-above 'pro ,
duct can be doubled.
