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.

Edwin Booth at the Winter Garden.
(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.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
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.
