We last week alluded to a complaint fre
quently urged by Philadelphians; that the
State was so often arrayed against their in
terests; admitted theiorrectoess of the charge
and briefly explained its cranes namely, the
neglect and ingratitude of the City toward
;he various bouness enterprises of the interi

so strenuously and justly 'opposed by, our
people, and against enactments similar in

The peculiar advantages to Philadelphia
derived.from 'the Schuylkill Coat Trade

Now,-how do her citizens treat ut, in re

our trade, or does their behavior loWards us

it:eg of the trade in this Region, upwards of

obliged to combat various impositions at
' tempted upon us by the State Legislatnre,
mostly originating with , a portion of, the
, community of Philadelphia slid urged by
her Representatives. Not the slightest en
touragemtent his ever been tendered us, but;
directly the opposite,the Philadelphians have'
ester waged 1113 incessant It-air:ire ,upoti our
interests. In the presentystancernotwith

ciuzens of Philadelphia, speculators. mer
chants and others, have taken the lead in ur
ging its enactment; to crush our individUal
Operators, to concentrate the trade'ot the Re
gion in the , hands of corporate Monopolies,
and to break down the general business, and
enterprige of the County-: and that, too,
by using the most unfair 'and deceptive
means. by faliely representing theniselves as
Coal •DeafersandMiners,' resident - in Schuyl
kill County ; when the truth is, that of all
theadvocates of the Law, we know of only
three individuals in the County who favor tt,
and thity are not-actually engaged in Mining
_operations, but hold interests in certain lands
on the outskirts of the Region, which they
thus hope to make stock - -jobbing rortrerns of.
And riOW again. to show Philadelphia's
indifference and neglect toward that trade to
which she is so largely indebted, the New
Yorkers are suffered to transport COal from
the Curnberlanel Region. right by the Phila
delphia wharves; through the Delaware and
Raritan Canal, at 15 cents per tea toll, while
the Schuylkill trade is required to pay dou
ble charge.. Yet the Philadelphians tame
ly
tigate or Tbrrect this groii Injustice to the
trade, so peculiarly their own. We hardly
- know, indeed.. that they have taken the,trou-
Me to imform theMselves of the fact, since,
we believe, not one of their papers has Do-
tired it. Should an y sucli outrage be perpetra-
ted to draw off an important trade from New
York, w'venture to say her cmzens would
• not tolerate it one week, before the matter.
would be looked into and redress demanded. :
Under the cireumstances,we think it would
1 .14 only right in our people to accede to .the
-overtures of the New Yorkers, 10 trire them
. our trade direct. They have always mani
; rested a disposition to appreciate the various
brandies of trade centering in and ennching
their metro Polis, end have, aceordingly, en
coin-aged them and in every instance consul
ted for their interests - and advancement.—
,
, They have .solicited our trade, and we sae
:heartily, Itithem have it. A direct commu'-
nination can be made between us, and since
the Philadelphians valve-us so lightly—their
- invariable course of opposition to our inter-.
eats has forfeited all claims upon us—we
consider that the Trade would be perfectly
justifiable in bestowing their patronage where
. • it would be better appreciated. :

The time is approachiog for the renewal
of liquor licenses for a taunther of stores in
the County. We haven word to say to their
proprietors—we hope, in reason.
There is no disguising the fact that Tem
perance is waking rapid. headway in the
land. From Merely'a IrmtWl subject for itin
erant lecturers, a few years since, it now as
pires to a place in the deliberations of our
highest civil, bodies, and . is regarded 'as a
question of grave importance by our wisest
33 .- Kri and a most perplexing point of division
by the sharpest politicians. We mention
this to.shoiv the character of the R%furtn we
:are about to urge our merchants to aid in.—
it is daily growing into public notice and .
public favor, and before Main years. we, as
a people, will. present one of the grandest
spectacles knOwn to the world- a purely xo
/Tr nation,. made so by the power` of volun
tarily imposed legislation,—the most remark
able instance of self-goyerpment oti \ record.
It is coming to this—and speedily—who
doubts it ; that has noticed the progress Of ,
the cringe for the -last ten.vears, or can read
the signs-of the times! : .
We have before addressed ourselves to the
Colliery titorTs anti. ore glad to know it at
our labors are net in vain. There now re
main but nine Collieries in the Region where
liquor is sold,aod we' hope that they may
soon be converted from the trrbr of their
ways. We now want the Merchants. that
is. the Store:keepers generally thrOughout the
County, to discontinue the sale of liquors.
and let the business tall into those bands
where it properly belongs. Most-of cur
merchants are too respectable to sell liquor
—there are those who seem nee la I lydesigned
for that purpose—hut it t often a source of
annoyance to the friends of the cause and a
serious hindrance to its progress, that such
and such men, perhaps holding important
official positions in the community, and
standing high in the estimation of the pub
lic for honesty, sobriety and general' good
morals, being among the .foremost of our
best citizens—that theseomen sell , liquor in
their stores, and are often quoted as author
ity for the respectability of the traffic.
It is a common excuse among the Liqunt
sellers, when asked to discontinue the busi
ness. that others will sell if they do not.—
Well, let therM'if it must be so r'fint. we
contend that our merchants s.hiild not 'prop.
erly he classed in the . numher, and if, they
would only withdraw from the 'traffic, it
would soon acquire a replitatioo from the
general character of its dealer's that would
sink it past-redemption in the eyes of the
community. As to this excuse among the
meichants themselves, we propOse this rem
there hem common understanding
and agreement among them throughout the
whole County, not to patronize the business,
after a certain date. If the matter were
once fairly started, me doubt whether a sin
gle mercantile esthlilishment or store, cer
tainly no
,one of any note, fn . the County
would refuse to secede to the pmrsition and
to carry it out in good faith. Come, gentle
men, you know as well as ive do that-the
County is cursed with the traffic—the al-
Most numberless grog.geries throughout the
fleg,ton are a nuisance and disgrace to our
,people, the criminal records of our County
are tearfully pregnant with weighty argu
ments in favor of Temperance Reform, our
Jail and Alms 7 house are yearly filled with
• eriminals.mantlfactured in drunken brothels,
and our - County taxes are oppressiVely 18 7
crenied through this vice alone—will you
not, then, do something for the general good
lighten our taxes, improve the moral
condition of out citizens and to elevate the
character of the County? Who will he the
first toMove in this matter ? It syffl be no
hard task, when the begin in: is or;ce made:
Gentlemen merchants of the County, we ap
peal to the honor and credit of yonfprofeS.
sion.
As an instance of the beneficial effects.of
this plan,-we may cite Pinegrove, where it
was effccittelly pal into .practice some years
ago by the merchants of that place. and the i
result has been that, from one of the most
thssipaitd towns in the County; it , has now
become the soberest. Liquor-selling is eM
pbatically beloW par there, simply because
the store-keepers - of the Community discoun
tenancid it. Aittither practical result is that
in three consecutive years; not a single pau
per was returned from. that , district. :
math for the influence of oniilerchants.
To the nine remaining 'colliery stores: that
still sell liquor, we will male:this pinposi
ticrn. If they or any one of them wilt dis
continue ,its sale' and use about their bast
nes, and faithfully carrylETt:this regulation
for one year ; we have not much money, not
any more than we have use for,but
cheerfally„agree to meke up all. the deficien
cy in the profits of their eitabbibments, ex,
perienced from the new regulation at the end
of the tairelve_inonths. We are in soher earn

INCREASE OF CRIME
At the opening of the Court of Quarter
Sessions in Philadelphia "on MOnday last,
Judge Kelly in his charge to the Grand Ju
ry, made the !Snowing remarks, respecting,
the alarming increase of 'crime in that city :
" Daring the six years last past, the num
her of prisoners committed to the county, pri
son annually . has more than doubled, Indeed
the increase in that brief time bas"been,nearly•
110 pet cent.
~ In 1847 there were but 5,390
commitments, and in 1652 there were 11,172.
T.) account for which, he said,
" In the allsence of judicious restrictigins
upon the sale of intoxicating liquors fray; in
myjudgment, be found the most active agent
in the production of this sudden inerease of
vagrancy, disorder. and crime. It is not ne
eessary at this day, to illustrate thedanger,
especially to youth, of unbridled indulgence
in the use of alcoholic beverag,Vor of its
agency in producing pauperism, vagrancy and
misery."
Is not this,unfortunatley, but-thepft-repea
ted sentiment frOm almost everrsti)unty in
the State? The Grand Juries of s Saitylkill
have for years past attributed most of ;Our
Court cases, and the worst onesh`loo. to this
eatne cause. Ildiv can men resist th l e over

ment of facts? To abridge our erirninal re

4' ALTssmrDlin Gavazzt was born at 80.
foraa, in 1809, and at the early age of six
teen entered the order called clerics regalares
of St. Banishes, its which he rapidly rose to
a disttoguished position. Professor of they ,
oric at Naples, be not only, taught the theco
sy, but esanphfied the practice of eloquence.
in the pulpits of that capital, and subsequent
ly-in most of the principal 'chits in Italy.
His views were broad sod generous ; and,
though little to the 'taste of Pope Gregory,
that pontiff prudently refrained from molest
ingthe popular missronary.
" , The advent of Pius IX. gave unlettered
scope to the liberal and enlightened views
hitherto; compressed and discountenanced
among the Italian clergy : and foremost
among the upholders of the new Papal poli
cy were Up Bassi and Gavani both Bo-
Pi=
" The first appearance of Gavaxii on. the
political scene was on the news of the Mila
nese insurreetion and the discanfiture of the
Austrians throughout Lombardy being cele
brated in Rome, when the students of the
University seized on the eloquent prieat. car
:ried him on their shoulders into thepulpit of
the Pantheon; and called on him to pro
nounce the funeral oration of the patriots
killed at Milan. The orktor'rose at once to
the height of that great argument, sod be
came at once' the trumpeter of. freedom
throughout Italy. The tri-color cross was
now displayed on his cassock, sod is the
same decoration which be has worn Auriog
the whole campaign:it'd now wears uosul
lied on his manly breast. In the Colosseum
he baranged for weeks crowds - of citizens
gathered within that gigantic structure,
which became an arena of patriotic manifes
tations. The Pope encouraged his efforts to
rouse tile national energies, and conferred on
him the 'office of Chaplani-general to the
Forces; then organising by the levy of vol
unteers and the formation of national guards.
In that,capaeity he marched from Rome with
16,000 men, and after i short, hesitating
bait on .the frontiers, positive orders came
from the Vatican, and private instructions to
Gavazzi himself, to move forward and act
against the Austrians. The onwardpro
gress of the Roman army was a succession
of tritimphs to the walls of Vicenza. Ga
vazzi's eloquence supplied ammunition, clo
thing, provisions. horses, and all the materi
el de guerre, from a willing population. He
was the Hermit Peter of the whole crusade,
the'life and soul of the. insorrectico. : At
Venice. io the great area of St. Mark, be ha
rangued, day after day, congregated thou
sands, and filled the Venitian treasury by the
voluntary oblations elicited by his irresisti
ble appeals. Women tore off their earrings
and bracelets, and wives of fishermen flung
their large silver hair-pins into the military
chest, and several thousand pounds' worth
of plate andjewelry was the result of his
exertions. When the 'Roman division was
ordered to fall hack, the Father made Flor
ence ring with his exhortations to uphold the
cause. The Grand Duke, who had already
begun his tergiversations, gave orders for
the forcible expulsion of Gavazzi from Tus
cany. He took refuge in Genoa ; but the
'Bolognese, having broken into open mutiny
against the Pope on the Sib of August, and
formed a Provisional Government, Gavazzi
was recalled. as the only means of allaying
the discontent of the le,gationsl; his return
was in triumph,.and order was restored by
his presence.
General Zucchi was now sent from
Rome to take the command of the troops at
Bologna, when, a! the instigation of the Car
dinal-Legate, this lieutenant of Rossi seized
on (avazzi, and sent him off secretly, under
a strong escort, to be incarcerated in Come
to,—a sort of ettlessiastical prison, where
clerical rotbers, assassins, and adulterers
have been for ages confined by popes; but
on his passage through Viterbo the whole
city rose to rescue their patriot, and Pius
IX. found it expedient to order his liberation
amid the plaudits of the town. On the Hight
of the Pope, the fgrmation of a Republican
Government. and the convoking of the Ro
man Assembly, Gavazzi was confirmed in
his previous functions of Chaplain-general
to the Forces, and began his preparation for
the approaching siege of the French, by or
ganisicg the military hospitals on a scale
commensurate with the coming warfare. He
formed a committee of the principal Roman
ladies. to provide for the wounded (Princess
Belginjoso, Countess Pallavicino, and Pisa
cane at their bead, and superintended the
surgical ambulances during the whole strug
gle. At the lull of the fight against Oudinot,
when a sortie of 14,600 Romans was made
to repel the King of Naples. who, with his
20,000 men, had'acvanced as far as Velletri,
the Father went ferth at the head of the
troops wtth the gallant Garibaldi, and after
the utter rout sod precipitate flight of the
invading army assisted the dyiug and the
disabled of both sides. Returning into the
beseiged capital, lie sustained the spirit of
the inhabitants throughout, and was ever at
the bastions and io the front of the battle. At
the fall of Rome. he received an honorable
testimonial and son( conduit from Otidinot
and while his companion, Father Ugo Bassi,
was shot he the Austrians without trial, and
against the law of nations, at Bologna. he
was suffered to depart by the more civilised
freebooters of France. In London he has
since lived in retirement, giving for his dai
ly Nevi a few lessons in the language of his
beloved but downtrodden land; when a few
of his fellow exiles, anxious to hear in the
country of their forced adoption once more
the eloquent voice which cheered them in
their hour of triumph, clubbed together the
pittance of poverty to hire a room for the
purpose: ticd the result has hen, the po
tent blast of indigpanl oratory, and the trum
pet-mite of withering denunciation, with
-ailithh lie now assails the treachery, fraud,
and accumulated impostures of the Roman
court, and all its malevolent and Macchia
-vellian machinery. The bold freedom of ,
his strictures derives immense importance
from the fact he sets forth of their being in
accordance with the sentiments of a large
body of the young clergy of Italy—a kind of
Puseyism, Menacing the utter ruin of ultra
niontane ascendancy at home, while it seeks
to triumph in England.
BROSIA AND COCOA.—Every body in this
country, of course., is quite familiar with those
two excellent articles of diet for invalids, broma
and cocoa, maonfactnred by NValter Baker A. Co.,
of Dorchester, Mass. Some years Piarc the spe
cial constderati o ot of medical practitioners was cal.
led to these preparations, as appropriate food for
the sick. in the various conditions of debility and
pro•untion to *sithieh they are at times reduced,
leaving the digestive apparatus too feeble to appro
priate any but the most delicate nutriment. Medi
cal gentlemen of ominence in this cityweredelighted
with Mr. Baker's broma ; and from that period to
this, its good character has been sustained. An
other set of physirions have commenced business
since that: period, who may not have become fa
miliar with the article; end we therefore refer
again to the subject for the purpose of remind*.
both our rlng medical friends at home tux! thet;
abroad, that they will derive important adrantittea
from the use dt these admirable kinds of rood.
Druggists in the interior would 6nd their account in
always keeping both on hand, with a view to
meeting the ?rc.criptioas of medical attendants.
From our own personal experience of the value of
broma particularly, we can speak decidedly in its
favor. A dietetic course is not urifreqUently quite
as necessary as Strict medication; and in recover
ing from a low state, it iv one of the perplexities
ore, general practitioner's determine what
may or may not be safely adopted as regimen.—

RAILROADS IN RUSSIA
A French, journal publishes from Augs
burgh Gazette an interesting account of the
rapid progress which has been made within
the last few years in the prosecution of rail s
roads in Russia. From this- article we Bath
er the following facts:
The first railroad iu Russia was that lead
ing from St. Peters laugh to Trskozelo and
Faulowsk,two iniperial residences ' a di4iance
of 17 This road - waS opehed in 1637,
by a .company consisting in part of- British
capitalists, and the shares, which cost from
40 to 50 dollars, are now worth from GO to
70.
This was soon followed by the great en
terprise undertaken by the Emperor in which
he took a deep interest; of 'a first class rail
way from St.',Petersburgh to Moscow, 607
versts in length, or just about 900 English
miles. In the prosecution of the work, it is
welt knoWn by the friends of the late Major
Whistler, who was one of the alma Cengi
neeri of the Western Railroads in Massachu
setts;-that he was invited thither through the
agency of Mr. Ilodisco, the Russian Minis
ter, and was employed in a very responsible
situation in the conduct of the work until his
death, which took place a short time before
it was finished. Under,the agency oliMajor
Whistler, a;large number of American me
chanics were invited to Russia and ehnploy
ed in the construction of locomotives and ma
chinery.
This work Was constructed under the di;
rection of the Minister ofPublic Works,Cuuut
Kleir Michel, aided by Major Whistler, and
was opened on the Ist of November, 1851.
It is found to -be of immense benefit to the
commerce of the country, and the business
upon it is daily increasing. The passage is
made from one capital to the other in 22 hours,
which previously occupied four days, in dili
gent traveling day and night.
The A ugshu rgh paper goes on to relatrahat
this line had been hardly finished, when the
Emperor ordeni t l the construction. of another
gigantic road - binween St. Petersburgh and
Warsaw. The track has been laid our, and
thousands of laborers are now engaged in
grading it.
This road will be 1010 . versts, Or 668 miles
long. It will pass, by, the cities of Louga,
Pskuff, Donahourg, Grodno, Vileka,
Dana, Viola, Niemen and Narev, General
'Gertsfelt, of the the Corps of Engineers, di-
recta the works of this road. .
While this great railway is in prosecution,
a company has been formed at Riga fur build
ing a branch which is to unite the - seaport
with the city of Dunabourgh, and thus con
nect Riga with the two capitals ofjß tissia
and Poland: This brarch, the track of which,
was laid out by the engineer Gonzenback,
will be 208 versts, ,or 138 miles in length.
It will keep along the rignt bank of the Du
na and will pass near the cities of Jahobstadt
sod Freidrichstadt. The capital is fixed at
nine millions roubles, and it is hoped that the
government will. grant a guarantee of inter
est of 4 per ct.
Another line which is not yet begun, is to
unite Dunabourg, by Smolensk, with Mos
cow, and establish a dint: communication
between this ancient Russiad capital and
Warsaw by the route which was pursued by
the advance and retreat of the French army
1812.
In the-souili of the Empire: thegovernment
is about, it is said, to authorize a Company,
by granting a guarantee of 4 per cent, to un
dertake the construction of a railroad between
Klacorr and Odessa. This road' will e.ro..
the Duipper at Kreineeteliong above the rap
ids which obstruct the navigation of the riv
er.'Phis road will benefit the commerce iu
ova in m the same manner as the liniMroni
IhniabMirg to Riga is destined to help forward
that of linen and timber. • '
Finally, in the kingdom of Poland, where
fur some. years the line from Warsaw to-My
slovitz, iu Prussian Silesia, has been in - full
- aetivity.dwo of her lines are thought of---one
from Wirsaw to Bromberg. the other from
the same capital to Posen : but the arrange
ments necessary to he made with the Prus
sian government for this purpose have not
reached a satisfactory' result. The line from
Warsaw to Mysolvitz. a little more than 2110
mile, in length; puts the capital of Poland in
communication by railway with Vienna and
Berlin. and consequently with Paris. When
the is nrjoiu Warsaw to St. Pe
tersburgh is opened for travel, which it is ex
pected to he iu about three years, the immense
distance which separates France and Russia
may be travelled over in four or five.days.
COPPER MINING IN TENNESSEE
The ++ Hiwassee" is the pioneer company-.
organized for mining coppe,r in Tennessee.
This company was organized in May, 1852,
under a charter from the *ale of Tennessee.
The property of the company consists of 500
acres of mineral-land, which has been thor
oughly explored. The first reports..respeet
ing these mines represented the vein as be
ing about sixteen feet witle,!.and yielding
front sixteen to twenty per cent. of copper.
Late reports from the mine give forty-five
feet as the width of the vein, and the ore sold
has varied in yield front twenty-three to
twenty-six and a halt, per cent. by dry assay.
About sixty tons of ore have been brought to
market, which were sold at from $B4 to $lO
per ton. The Means of transportation at pre
sent are not convenient, as the roads are bad:
but, by the month of June, a good road will
be completed and in readiness, which will
enable the company to transport their miner
al with ease to Savannah, which is the near
est shipping pilint. About sixty tons are
now on the way, and have been already dis-
posed of at one hundred and eighty dollars
per ton for thirty sr cent. ore. •An addition.
al one hundre tons have been also engaged,:
d i
and will be • mediately sent forward. The
Hiwassee mines are of extraordinary rich
ness, 39 will show,a yield equal to those of
any mines in the United States, with the ex
ception of those of native copper on Lake Su
perm.. The mines of copper in Cornwall /
England, during a series of years, show all
average yield pf only seven and one-half per
cent.,and those' of 'W ales on ly twelve and one,
fourth per cent., yet .with this apparently+
small yield, the proprietors have obtained
'enormous returns. The virgin mines of the
United.. States are destined to work a great
revolution in the metal markets. -The stock
of the Hiwassee Company has not been otrer
ed for sale 'in the market.
WINE IN AtTSTRALIA
A late Australian paper gives some inter
esting items touching wine making in that -
Ilnd of gold. We quote :
- "In 1845 there were Lll acres of vine
yards under cultivation throughout the colo
ny, producing 51,896 gallium of wine, and
1,433 gallons of braddy." In 1846 the quan
tity of land under vine was 749 acres, and its
production was 52,337 gallons of wine and
1,382 gallons of brandy. la 1817 there were
899 acres of vineyards, producing 54,035 gal
lonOf Wine, and 1,402 gallons of brandy.
In Is4B'there were 887 acres of vineyard's,
producing 97,3110 gallons' of wine, and 1,163-
gallons of brandy. In 11319 there were 963
acrestol vineyards, producing 95,833 gallons
of wine and I,IN-36 gallons of brandy ; and m
1851-there were 1,860 1-2 acres of vineyards;
producing 84,843 gallons of wine and 1,511-
gallons of brandy. One of the greatest diffi
culties which the manufacturers of the Ans•
tralian wine have had to contend against of
late, his been that of -procuring, bottles, and
thfy now have under, consideration the pro
ploy of establishing a ti?ttle-Gaetory."

COPPER ISlNffial,N, MAR YLAND.
The , great advance in copper has induced

Our own State presents as . hopeful
ties probably as any other State of the Union.
Already have several promisin ,, . veins been
opened and produced cimsiderabre copper ore
of the best quality, and as these veins are
now being worked we may anticipate in lime
the most flattering results from prosmiS,now
presented. We have seen and heard from
time to time of the " Springfield" corm
mine and the "Carrol comity" copper nnue
-both on the laud-of George Patterson, Esq.,
near Sykesville, one and a half miles from
Sykesville—the former uf. these mines, the
"Springfield," has..'now a:shaft sonic two
hundred feet deep, and drivinga from this
shaft some eighty or one hundred !eel' long,
all the way in good copper ore, yielding about
-20 per cent., and paying handsomely for its
outlay; there being now ou the surface about.
40 tons of ore ready for market, and several
hits formerly sold:
The "Carrol" mine has ashaft d - ownsome
100 - feet, and has the promise cif a'body of
good copper ore at this depth. - They are con
fining the operations to sinking the shaft and
bringing up au adit iddraiu the, mines,
The " Mineral Hill" auine, on the same
vein, six miles north of this, iiirt promising
mine. from which considerable good copper
ore has been obtained. Au alit has been driv,
en about 300 feet on the vein, and-'it. shows
Several good bunches of ore, some of it very
rich in "cobalt," a mineral worth.when pure,
$350 to $4OO per pound, and very rare—the
prospect for a quantity is very good. On ibis
vein a shaft has been sunk 200. feet deep,
mostly on copper ore yielding from 20 to 25
per cent., impregnated with cobalt, and get
ting richer as it descends. The proprietor
is working, it on the most approved 'princi
ples; ; the shaft is 7by lo.teet, and-it is intend-i
ed to go down 300 feet before stopping
There is very little water here to impede the
operations.
About six miles further north is the " Pa
tapsco" copper mine, worked by a Philadel
phia coinpany. The ore is very rich. and
impregnated with cobalt, which they are
turning to good account. They are sinking
the shaft here to cut the vein 300 feet deep.
In the neighborhood of Liberty. in Freder
ick county, the• prospect for copper is very
great. The "old Liberty mine." two miles
north of Liberty, has yielded largely of
.cop
per from time to time, both before and since
therevolution. The mineral deposits covers
several acres` of land, and the shaft has gone
to a depth of 175 feet, and is drained by an
adit one-third of a mile long. There is a
large and promising vein of copper in the
bottom of the mine, and several thousand dol
lars' worth are said to be in sight. This
mine is not now worked, but the proprietor
nub/ be willing to have it put Into gOod
hands at fair rates; It is supposed $2OO
would, put in good working order.
Near Liberty, one ha If mile east, is the
" Dollyliide Copper Mine," on the farm of
Colonel Coale. This mine presents a most
extraordinary surface deyelopmentonuekbe
yond anything seen short of Lake Superior.
and is now being worked to a very handsome
profit. The vein has been opened SOO feet
lengtb,'and is a strung body of rich bronze
ore, worth, when free from gangen, about
sixty per cent. The vein is now about five
feet wide, and is yielding large returns of
copper' from the surface to a depth of thin!.

for market, in addition to a large lot recently
