SAMO.MAIITINS._ I passed an'inland cliff precipitate; From tiny caves peeped many' a sooty • poll; . In each a mother martin sat elate, And of the news deliverer her small sonL Fantastic chatter ! hasty, glad and. gay, Whereof the meaning wa.s not ill to bow wags "Gossip d , bow wags the world with you to ?" "Gossip, the world wags well the 'world wags well.", And listening I was sure their little ones Were in the bird-talk, and discourse was made Concerning hot sea-flights, and tropic suns, For a clear sultrineb:, the tune conveyed;— And visions of the sky as of a cup Hailing down light on pagan Pharaoh's sand, And quivering air-waves trembling up and up, And blank stone-faces marvelously bland; When should the young be fledged, and with them hie Where costly day drops down in crimson light; (Fortunate countries of the fire-fly, Swarm with blue diamonds all the sultry night, • And the immortal moon takes turn with them);— When should they pass again by that red land. ' Where lovely Mirage works a broidered hem. To fringe with phantom palms a robe of sand; When should they dip their breasts again and play In slumberous azure pools clear as the air, Where rosy-winged flamingoes fish all day, Stalking amid the lotus blossoms fair ;- Then over podded tamarinds bear their flight, tYPIIiIe cassias feed the wind with spiceries; And so betake them to a south sea-bight, To gossip in the crowns of cocoa-trees Whose roots are _a the spray. Oh haply there, Some dawn,—white-winged, they might chance to find A frigate standing in to make more fair The loneliness unaltered of mankind: A frigate come to water. Nuts would fall, And nimble feet would climb the flower flushed strand, And northern talk would ring, and there: withal The martins would desire the cool north land, And all would be as it had been before. Again at eve there would be news to tell ; Who passed should hear them chant it o'er and o'er, "Gossip, how wags the world ?" "Well, Gossip, well!" CITY BULLETIN. GRAND RECEPTION.—At Vineland, New Jersey, Charles K. Landis gave a grand re ception which was attended by at least 3,000 people. The reception lasted until 9 o'clock m the evening. At the end of the recep tion Rev. F. E. R. Chubbuck, in behalf of the people, in a neat and appropriate speech presented Mr. Landis with a handsome edition, of Prescott's Works; after which, balls were :given on the first and second floors of the .New -Factory Buildings. The rooms were superbly decorated by the Floral Society of the place. The ladies were elegantly dressed, and the whole thing went off as happily as could be desired. Two bands of music were in attendance. Mr. Landis is the largest landed proprie tor of the State of New Jersey, being the sole owner of fifty square miles of land, upon which he has established a flourishing settlement of nearly 7,000 people. They have built churches, schools, mills, and a young city, besides covering the place with vineyards, orchards and fine gardens. Vine land has already become one of the most beautiful as well as prosperous places in the country. BOLD ROBBERY.—A man stopped at a house in Newton street, Second. Ward, a few days ago. The door was opened by a small boy who was asked if the old woman was in. The reply was in the negative, whereupon the individual entered and locked the door after him. He then told the youth that he would eut his throat if a noise was made, and proceeded to ransack the drawers and closets for valuables. He went up stairs, then into the basement, and before leaving demanded of the boy where the money was kept. He was told that there was no money in the house. The thief then escaped by the back door before an alarm could be raised. SALE OF REAL ESTATE.—James A.

(From the New York Tribune of to•day.j An immense audience, according to gen eral anticipation, was assembled last night at the Winter Garden, to witness the re appearance of Edwin Booth. By opening the doors at a very early hour, the manage ment enabled the spectators to reach their places with ease, and thns to avoid the ex• petted inconvenience of a tumultuous throng. The theatre rapidly filled up, and when at last the curtin rose, presented that old, familiar spectacle, a sea of faces. Not only was every seat ocutpied,but every inch of standing room was eagerly appropriated by the thronging multitude. Seldom, in deed, has any New York theatre been thus crowded, and never by an audience of a more intelligent class. Its welcome to Mr. Booth was significant, in no com mon sense of the word. Actu ated by profound sympathy and ad miration, it expressed itself in one long aad almost deafening tumult of enthusiasm. Nine cheers, each round being followed by its particular and emphatic "tiger," hailed the melancholy Dane, and gave him, at the outset, due warrant to "cast his nightly color oft:" Frequent applause, too, fol lowed his personation, from point to point, and he was called before the curtain at the end of each act. The New York Herald was remembered, in the course of the even ing, with three rounds of emphatic groans and a liberal allowance of hisses—an un mistakable indication of the spirit in which the public have condemned the atrocious attack ou Mr. Booth, made in that paper not many days ago. In short, the reception accorded to Mr. Booth was such as his genius merits, and such as the people of New York so well know how to render to an object of their esteem. In reference to the performance we can say but a word of commendation, writing, as we do, at a very late hour. Mr. Booth has never played Hamlet more perfectly than be played it last night, and we doubt if the character has ever been represented more correctly and admirably. The gene ral representation of she play was also satis factory. We shall take an early opportunity to review this subject with that thorough ness which is its due. One other fact, however, should be stated. Mr. Booth has preferred to appeal directly to the justice of the American public, rather than to avail himself of an address, inviting him to return to the stage, signed by many of the leading citizens of this and other cities. The welcome accorded him last night shows that he made the wiser choice. At the same time, we have authority for stating that Mr. Booth is profoundly grateful for the friendship thus delicately expressed, and will always remember it with gratitude and pleasure. 1 13 WA LLMlSteleki.

The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACES In Mecklenberg county, North Carolina, 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 1839 by a man named Carson, who worked it sticcessibily 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 :his property, one of them 50 feet, the other 60 fbet, 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 read ly 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 VD per bushel. 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 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 mitres in immediate operation. The many advantages of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It Is more read y reached. and has abundance of Mel, 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 tour 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• perry. but can count on large and immediate returns on the investments. Having an ore that readilY yields tio per bushel, some estimate can be- matte 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. adimating, say 15 bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be p,,,940 from one shaft, allowing POO per day for expenses. The net product will be $1,200 per day; counting SOO 'working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be WSW, 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.
