Mr. Cobden and-“" The Times.”
It was anticipated that, when the British
Parliament bad got well into the session of
1864, Mr. COBDEN would fulfil his promise
of there dealing with The Times newspaper.
How he was to do it puzzled many, but it was
not doubted that he would at least make the
attempt. To charge a newspaper or a man
with general misrepresentation would scarce
ly answer. The indictment should set forth
a definite accusation ; should particularize
the offence, the -time, the motive, the evil
purpose; and even if Mr_ Complex had done
this, it is not likely that the House of Com
/MOM would have allowed itself, at his re
quest, to become an extra-judicial tribunal
for trying implied offences which the law
of libel could not touch.
The whole ease as between Mr. COBDEN
and The Times is now before us in extenso,
for the first time, having been put into print,
in two pamphlets, at Manchester (England),
which have thence been forwarded to us by
Mr. THOMAS B. POTTER. One pamphlet
contains the correspondence of Mr. COBDEN
with Mr. DEIAICF., of The Times, and with
Mr. TyrommoN llimv, of the _Daily Tele
graph. A second gives the opinion of the
Liberal Press of England upon this corre
spondence. The third pamphlet, entitled
" The Traditional Policy of The TimeB," as
exemplified by its misrepresentation at the
time of the Mlthißgharn Riots in 1791, when
a mob burned Dr. PRIESTLEY'S house,libra
ry, and the philosophical instruments, on
The suspicion that he was an Atheist and
Jacobin. The second and third pamphlets
we may pass. The first affords materials for
an article.
In the last week of November, a public
meeting was held at Rochdale, the borough
which Mr. COBDEN represents in Parlia
ment, at wbich Mr. COBDEN spoke. Mr.
Joint BRIGHT, himself a Rochdale man, also
made a pov. - frtul speech, - which was fully
reported in The Times. Immediately after
a leading article in that paper declared that
Messrs. CormEx and BRIGHT commended
to the people a scheme for " seizing on the
lands of the rich, to divide them gratuitous
ly among the poor." A week later The
Times again spoke of Mr. BlitoriT's propo
sition to the pour, "for dividing among
Them the lands of the rich." Mr. COBDEN,
not a regular reader of The Times, acci
dently saw this accusation against his friend,
and immediately wrote a letter to the Editor,
denouncing the accusation as " a groundless
and gratuitous falsehood," inasmuch as Mr.
BRIGHT bad not spoken the words or uttered
the statement declared to have been his.
Mr. Oonnarc charged The Times with having
- wilfully misrepresented his friend, and de
clared that its proprietor and its manager
were known, that its only avowed and re
sponsible editor " is as well known to us as
the chief official at the ELome Office, and
that men ought to lift the veil and destroy
the illusion by which The limes is enabled
to pursue this game of secrecy to the public
and servility to the Government--a game (I
purposely use the word) which secures for
its connexions the corrupt advantages, while
denying to the public its own boasted beim
:fits of the anonymous system:"
This letter, tent by Mr. COBDEN to The
Times and to other London morning papers,
was published only in the Daily News and
the ,Star. Then the editor of The Times
sent' to all these papers his reply to Mr.
COBDEN:— in which he stated that he had
first intended to publish ?dr. COBDEN'S let
ter, but finally declined, as_Mr. ConDEN had
"no right to expect him, upon a pretext en
tirely irrelevant, to, publish a series of most
offensive and unfounded imputations upon
himself and his friends." Finally, Mr. DE
LA-NE acknowledged himself responsible edi
tor of The rimes, and declared that anony
mous writing has always been the practice
of the English press, not invented by him
self, not to be destroyed by Mr.- COBDEN,
and that certain passages in the Rochdale
speeches could bear no o*._her interpretation
than that Mr. CoRDEN and Mr. BRIOHT pro
posed to amend the condition of the poor by,
dividing among them the land of the rich.
On the contrary, Mr. COBDEH'S words, as
well as Mr. Belo - JIVE, were carefully guard
ed, and Mr. DELsaitr. finally disatrowed any
intention of d , siring to impute to Mr. COB
DEN or to Mr. BRIGHT the design of pro
moting, by violent, illegal, or immoral
means, a rerbsiribution of the land in Eng
land.
Out of this co ntroversy arose another which
has generally scaped notice in this country.
'The Daily TelAyi.apli, as well as the other
London morning papers, received a copy of
Mr. COBDEN'S first letter to the Editor of
the Times. Mr. THORNTON HUNT, who is
himself believed to be - Editor of the Tele
graph, wrote to Mr. Coircem, as by desire of
the editor, saying that he could not publish
the letter, until Mr. Connwx reconsidered
it, with a view to omitting the personal al
lusions in it. Three days later, however,
the said Daily Telegraph contained a long
editorial leader, (which was eagerly copied
into the Times,) commenting unfavorably
on Mr. Cornea's letter to the Times. On
this, Mr. COI:DEN protested against the un
fairness of hostile criticism on a docu
ment by a journal which had refused to
print it. Rejoinders and sur-rejoinders en
sued, in which Mr. THORNTON' HUNT sank
deeper and deeper in the controversy, until,
at last, Mr. CanDEN contemptuously de
clined wasting ink and paper on him. Mr.
COBDEN'S letters to Mr. MINT are far more
racy than those to Mr. DELANE. One of
them ends thus: "The observation has
been somewhat made that the Daily
Telegraph aims at becoming a penny
Times. On this occasion they are as
like as two peas. But from such a
Visitation may the Fates defend us I Eng
land could not endure two Times' any more
than America could support two New York
Heralds. NAPOLEON is said to have de
clared that if he had had two Vandammes
in his army, he must have hung one of
them. I will not say that if we had a couple
or Times' we should hang one of their
editors, but might there not be some danger
in our banging ourselves ?"
It must be borne in mind that Mr. Jonas
WALTER, principal proprietor of The Times,
'who is a member of the House of Commons
for Berkshire, has frequently been men
tioned as likely to be made a peer, and that
Mr. ROBERT Low; M. P. for the pocket
borough of Caine, is a member of the Pal
merston Govt rnment, as Vice President
of the Education, and is supposed to be in
dignant at not having a seat in the Cabinet,
like Mr. MiI.NER GIBBON, sir GEORGE
GREY, and Sir CHARLES WOOD, also Corn-
moners. Ile would be a bold Minister
who, after Mr. COBDEN'S charges against
The Times, would plate Mr. WALTER ill the
House of Lords, or make Mr. Lows a Cabi
net Minister.
YSSTEEDAY the explosion of a boiler
killed seven men and wounded many others.
The town was shocked by the loss of life,
and the thought of the misery resulting.
But is this to be the end of it IP There are
hundreds of boilers in factories conducted as
carefully as that of MERE= Lt . SoNs, and
the accident which happened in the one is
probably as likely to happen in the others.
Then there are a number of steam fire en
gines, which are put in use at a moment's
notice, in the midst of excitement and con
fusion, and which are now several years old.
The explosion of one of these would not
surprise the public. The accident yesterday
should have one good result, at least, and
every proprietor of a steam engine should
remember that the engineer of Mr. MlCR
nica's factory, who lost his own life by the
explosion, no doubt thought the boiler in his
charge perfectly safe.
MUM FROM "OCCASIONAL."
Wasraxiaxow, April 6, 1864.
Foreigners regard the progress of the war
for the preservation of the American Go:
vernment with uttdissembled amazement.
Every, day's development dissipates some
sinister prediction, or excites a new surprise.
The aristocratic pamphleteer gives up his
task of depreciation—the hesitating minis
ter, 'who swung like a pendulum between
the right of freedom and the wrong of
slavery, discovers which is the better as
well as the powerful side—and all our
friends, of whatever land or race, are
filled with new hope before this marvellous
spectacle. EUrope, which is the world's
workshop and bazaar, the seat of art, the
cluster of powerful nations with capitals
filled with the memorials and monuments of
ages, has attempted nothing like that which
I is passing like a vast panorama before the
eyes of mankind. No better or stronger
reply to the speculations of our enemies
could be found than the history of the
Sanitary Fairs of the United 'States. mil
lions have been raised by these gorgeous
demonstrations of charity, benevolence,
and gratitude: millions spontaneously given
—given with joy, given in the midst
of displays of domestic comfort, luxury,
industry, and genius. And these millions
flow from a fountain which we were a thou
sand times told was to have been exhausted
by the taxation, and want, and riot, and
disasters of the first year of the war. At
this moment the land is filled with
croakers, who unlike the hoarse har
bingers that will soon proclaim the ad
vent of spring, can see nothing • but
i a - financial winter before us, in consequence
of the rise in gold, and the necessary mili
tary expenses of the Government. Have
they ever reflected upon the uncounted re
ef,urces of the American people ? How,
with a heavy individual sorrow troubling
every heart ; with the sounds of battle
heard at thousands of loyal > firesides;
with occasional defeats of our arms ;
with the great fields of labor swept of
their athletic toilers, called to another
and to a bloody toil; with faction
hissing and biting, and glowering in every
lo: al cernmunity ; have they ever thought
how, with all these burdens to bear and
these discontents to quell, the stream of hu
man happiness, the ocean of religious devo
tion to our dear country, glides on, as if not
a drop had been lost from either? Harriet
Mattineau, in her fearless volume after the
Crimean war, when, with terrible accuracy,
she counted over the ghastly hecatombs
of human lives sacrificed by British
neglect of all sanitary care or fore
sight, in the great wars of her country
for sixty years past, did not think that when
the American Republic was goaded by trea
son to its own defence it would set before
the nations a model of devotion to heroic
soldiers which even England would envy as
she copied. But enough of this. ihe New
York Fair, the first pictures of which are
only appearing, is undoubtedly to be the
wonder of wonders. What is Philadelphia
doing for her June demonstration ? Let her
read the descriptions in the great New York
dailies of yesterday. Words cannot add to
the strength of this unconscious appeal to
the pride and patriotism of all Pennsylvania.
I know how much interest is felt in every
circle in regard to the approaching Fair on
the 10th of June—hoW much has already
been done and is doing. But if you would
rival the New Yorkers you must dwell upon
what they have done and are doing. Two
months remain to prepare for the work ; two
months in which new ideas, new inventions,
and new victories may be 'developed. Take
heed in season. OCCASIONAL.
The New York Sanitary Fair.
The second day of the fair has been a great sue•
seas, the visitors numbering 13,487, and the tickets
told at the door 6,000. The fair is rich in incident
and curiosity, of which the following are samples
DISTINGUISHED HATE
On one of the columns in the main hall, near the
floral temple, hangs the "hairy eagle," to which we
have referred before, and which was designed and
presented by Mrs. Wright, wife of Governor Wright,
01 Inaiana. In after years it will possess great in
terest as a Miamian! memento. It is an eagle rest
ing on a globe, and surrounded by a wreath, the
whole affair made of the hair of various distin
guish( d statesmen and men of the present day.
'President Lincoln, Vice President Hamlin, Secre
taries Seward, Obese, Welles, and Usher, and Sena.
to Fessenden, 7ohnion, Sumner, Cowan, Grimes,
Kimball, Trumbull, Wilson, Sherman, Sprague,
Lane, Howard, Foster, Haven Hicks, Hale, Hor
gan, Wade, Ramsey, Howe, Morrill, and Wilkin
eon have each contributed portions of their locks—
black, brown, gray, and red; curls, wiry, straight,
and otherwise—to make this really beautiful orna•
meet. Under it stands a table, attended by a young
lAdy who keeps a very neat album, in which, for
the sum of one dollar, each and every friend of
Abraham Lincoln is invited to sign his name, and
be recognized as one of the donors to the fund of
the great fair. It has already a number of signa
tures, sod it is thought will bring in et least one
thousand dollars. After the album is filled, it and
tie eagle are to be presented to President Lincoln,
the fund., of course, to the fair.
A BAIR BON MOT,
The book of autographs contains some of the finest
signatures in the country, and not a few of thole
who were once among the great of this world, but
are now no more. The request for "a sentiment
and his autograph," addressed to nir. :Max Keret ,
elicited the following response, which has
caused considerable merriment
Ecnihnent: "Beware of dead heads."
Yours, truly. MAX M.A.RETZEK.
A SWORD PUT TO THE VOTE.
beln the department of arms haverophies are two
swordi, to which we referred before,
rare :or the army officer and the other for the naval
crilcer who shall have at the end Of the fair the
greatest number of votes, $1 being the contribution
necessary for, the privilege of voting. At the close
of the fair last evening two hundred and fifty-seven
v-•tes had been cast for the army sword, of which
Gen. Grant had received one hundred and eleven,
Atli GOD. McClellan ninety-live. For the naval
r word, Admiral Farragut Was ahead, though Com
modore S. C. Rowan was very nearly up to him.
The total receipts of the fair, thus far, are over
$150,000.

to live for it, and I have been glad to send a very
valuable book, containing the engravings of all of

double purpose, and my intentions with regard to it

The Proteetrees of Col. Strelgf►t.
The Baltimore American of last evening says
" There has arrived in Baltimore a refugee from
Richmond, Mrs. Lucy A. Rice. Her case is one
greatly deserving of public sympathy and liberal aid.
Mrs. Rice, despite the tyranny that reigns at Rich
mond, has always preserved her loyalty to the
Union, and evineed a Warm sympathy for the
stfretings of our officers and men who have
been imprisoned in Richmond. Her house was,
fur nine days. the biding place and refuge
of Colonel Streight, Major B B. McDonald,
and another officer, after they escaped from
Libby Prison, and were awaiting an oppor
tunity to get out of the city. In secreting them.
and providing for their wants during those nine
days, while the whole city was being searched
for them Mrs. Rice subjected herself to a risk that
can only ' be comprehended by those who understand
the vindictiveness of the Richmond authorities and
the extreme palnr and penalties they would have
visited upon any one aiding our officers, especially
Colonel SU - eights in making their escape. Mrs.
ltioe,however, accepted all this reek, nod she brings
with her letters from Colonel Streight and Major
McDonald, in which they warmly sahnowledge her
services.
Mrs. Rice has reached Our lines in a destitute
condition. She has been forced to abandon all she
possessed in Richmond, while her remaining means
have been exhausted by the expenses incurred in
reaching our linen.

Defeat of the Currency Bill.
The defeat of the National Bank or ClUrrettey bill
by so large a vote as two-thirds, astonished both
friends and foes, especially as so much time had
been oonsumed in efforts to perfect it. All of the
amendments made in Committee of the Whole on
the state of the Union, about sixty in number, were
concurred in by the House. The Committee of
ways and Means were willing to adopt all excepting
two, and hence Representative STBVBNS offered a
substitute differing only from the amended bill in the
following particulars—viz : Restoring the uniform
seven per (manna interest and leaving it under na
tional and not State legislation, and omitting
the motion which left the capital stock of the insti
tution to be taxed the same as the property of indi•
viduals for State and municipal purposes. The
House emphatically non-concurred in this sub
stitute. This was the turning point in the °entre
venni% the teat that determined whether the bill con
taining the clauses obnoxious to the prominent
friends of the measure should pass the House. So
it was laid on the table ,on the motion of Repre.
mutative STEVENS. Some of his own polithtal
friends voted with those on the opposite side, who
were, from the beginning, opposed to this measure
of finance.

Lecture of George Thompson.
Gironos. Triosirsox, of England, delivered a lee
ture in the Hall of the House of Representatives,
tonight, to a dense Auditory, including President
LINCOLN, Secretaries Cense and Chess, many
membeie of both branchea of Congress, and a
few ladle.. A band of music was in attendance.
Vice President HAMLIN introduced the lecturer,
who, at the commencement of his remarks, empha
tically desired and challenged proof that he had
ever said the dissolution of the Union must be con
stantly kept in view. On the contrary, he had al.
ways been its steadfast friend. His expression of
"thank Own the hours of compromise are past,"
was enthusiastically applauded and cheered, as
was also his allusion to what he otou'aeterized
as the banditti of men stealers at Richmond, calling
themselves the Confederate Government, who pro
raised tbemeelves ultimate success, and the full re.
cognition of this principle throughout the civilized
world. The wish and prayer of every philanthro
pist, he said, was God speed the North, who were
with the President and against the serpent., Cop
perheads, and all, whom they would banish from
the land. This, and the mention of the name of old
JOHN . BROWN, were heartily applauded. He quo
ted from President LINCOLN'S speeches, delivered
years ago, sa3ing that he would not exchange
these sentiments for all that had been written by
EDMUND BURKE.
After the °Mee of the lecture, Mr. THomrsow re
ceived the congratulations of a large number oldie.
tinguiahed gentlemen, among whom was noted Sena
tor Jontisoii, of Maryland.
Tile Five-Twenty Loan.
The Secretary 01 the Treasury, in a communion.

the amount of 062,000,000, without which the army
and navy could not have been paid. The coat of the
lona was $1,400,060, at a coat of 142 a 41 3-I.othe of
one per cent. on 18 days' interest on the whole
amount. The Secretary concludes that these cer
vices could not have been so successfully performed
at all by the Treasury Department.
Army Matters.
The rumors so thickly flying about that General
DIVADE is to be remcved, may as well be set at rest.
It is now understood as a settled matter that Gen,
MBADE will be retained in command of the Army
of the Potomac, more firmly fixed in position than
ever.
El few days ago, Sergeant Flab, Ist Connecticut
Cavalry, while on picket near Hartwood Church,
was captured by rebel bushwhackers, and shot

ADDRESS FROM GOVERNOR MURPHY.
ST. LOWEI, ApHl6, — ElOYernor Murphy, of Arkan
sas, has issued an address to the people of the coun
ties of that State in which no election has been held,
and sent it out for distribution with General Steele's
command. The address reviews the condition of the
State during the war, and recites the action of the
late State COnvention, and closes with a stirring
appeal to the people in those counties in which no
election could be held, in consequence of their occu
pancy by rebel forces, to return to their allegiance
to the old Government, and recommends them, under
the ordinance permed by the State Convention for
that purpose, to hold an election, as soon as they can
with Natty, for member, of the Legislature and
county officers, and to take upon themselves the
rights and duties of freemen, and to give their aid in
restoring the Union.-
Brigadier General Nathan Kimball is assigned to
the command of all the troops along the North Ar
kansas river, with his headquarters at Little Book.
In a circular to the citizens of his district, he says
the loyal 'hall be protected, and sympathizers with
rebellion, though they may have taken the oath of
allegiance, will be treated as rebels unless they con
form, in word and act, to the spirit of that oath.

NEW YORE, April 6.—Mis. Caroline M. Kirkland,
thedistinguished writer, died last night in this oily
of apopit xy.
We extract the following from the Evening Post
Her father, Mr. Stansbury, Was a publisher and
bookaeller. The family removed subsequently to
Geneva where Miss Stansbury
. married Professor
Kirkland, of Hamilton College. Since 1843 Mrs.
Kirkland has lived for most part in New York,
teaching at times in the best female schools, but en-
gaged chiefly in wilting for the reviews and maga.
nines. She published in 1E39 "A New Home—
Who'll Follow?" which was a record of her own ex
periences, and written with such freshness and viva
city as to gain her at once a high and almost world
wide reputation. In 1842 she put forth "Forest
Life," and in 1846 t , Western Clearing.," all of
miler character, and under the assumed name of
"Mrs. Mary Clovers."
In 1E52 appeared "Fireside Talk in Manners and
Morals ;" in 1853, "A Book for the Home Circle ;"
and in 1858, " Personal Memoirs of George Wash
ington."
Litre, Kirkland was among the most original and
vigorous of all our female authors; her aketchee of
Western life have never been surpassed for fidelity
of detail and liveliness of humor; they exaggerate,.
perhaps, the traits of character and the incidenta of
the rude life of the border, but they are conceived in
the most kindly spirit, and only likely to give of
fence to those who feel themselves satirized by her
pen g but her powers of reflection were equal to those
of bier observation, and her more serious essays are
always hill of sound, instructive, and profitable
thought, which was expressed in a. forcible and
graceful way. Her conversation, however, was even
mote agreeable than her writing, and in society no
one could be more entertaining and attractive. Du•
rift her residence ;n this city she had gathered
about her the most eminent men and/women of the
metropolis—turinee, authors. and artists.

The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the

Mr HAIsLAII raid it was not proposed to exclude the
States in rebellion from the count in estimating the vote
There were new 85 States, and it is expected that three
more may be introduced. making 38 in all. There were
now 25 States represented in Congress. which, with the
Hues new States, and Arkansas, Louisiana and Ten
majority would give us Si. or more than a conetitntional
for the measure Mr. Harlan coetro varied the
argument that there was any real title in slave property.
or that the institution Unit could be justified by the his
tory of the world or the sacred Scriptures
Le quoted from the Levitical law to Show that slaves
were returned to liberty when they had • endered a fair
equivalent in labor to their masters He denied that
colored perp'e needed the guardianship of the whites.
and he considered the control exercised over the blacks
by the whites, a mere usurpation, which could not be
justified by the laws of God or man. He denied that
slavery was a Divine and. therefore. a desirable insti
tution. as it aboltehes the coonegal relation. If this
measure should pees. it wend d tarnish the means to all
up cur wasting armies, and also secure us the sym-

Mr. get7LSBURY. of Delaware.said that when preach-
eta became politicians, politicians could become preach
ers. [Laughter. He quoted the Scriptures in support
of slavery. Be dented the proposition that thiee foarths
of the States could do now what might have been done
by the original framers of the Constitution. He believed
that this amendment would be as good a canto forteces
bier! as could be furnished to auy State of this union.
The Constitution was made by the Mates in their sepa
rate capacities. and was never submitted to the People
for their ratification or 'rejection. it required State rail
neat, n before it became binding. In answer to. Mr.
Johnson. he contended that the Preamble to the Constitu
tion was not to be considered, bat the instrument itself
was to be regarded. The instrument itself alone sheered
how the great blessing of Justice. tranquillltg. and
liberty were to be Conferred. secured, and perpetuated.
The power did not exist to submit these amendments
to the tootle in tile manner pre .cribed by the Constitn
lion. He was a firm believer in the inequality of the
races. Be would not attempt to explain it, as it was the
work of the divine architect who presides over the desti
nies of man. He opposed tilts amendment not because
the pews of ble gate were pecuniarily intereeied in the
institution, but from the highest convictioes of duty to
the country. Besides the feet that we could not submit
this amendment to one-fourth of the States, the times
were nnpropitione. The time of war was net the time to

' The Banking Bill. -
?he House prbceeded to the consideration of the na
tional bank bill. as reported from the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, with amendments.
Mr. BOOPBB, of Ittagachueettn, made the closing
speech, giving hie reasons why the paper currency
should be under the control of national law; be
lieving the condition of the country, growing cut of the
exigeneles of the war. rendered the regulation of the
currency by Congress absolutely necessary to give
strength to and uphold the Government. The financial
schemes of the Semetary of the Treasury, he showed,
have thus far met with marked success. The issue
of legal tenders was not only wise, bat the Only mea
sure to afford immediate relief; for if the Government
had depended on the State banks for currency. it
would have been a feature. The bill under consideration
was to perfect the detail of the national currency bill
heretofore passed, and to render its operation more ef
fective. Be believed the existence of the nation was at
stake on this issue, and that the Government requires
every legitmate means to sustain its credit if the war is
to continue till the rebilion Is overthrown, and the
cause of it removed. Tre people at home must enter
upon the work of sustaining the war with more ear
neetnef H. We hive MACAO the point where sacrifices
must be made, and the people muss Lear more taxation.
Instead of 'lncreasing salaries, we mast take means for
preventing the depreciation of paper, and giving it a
higher came. The Committee on Ways and Means, he
said. would soon introduce a bill largely increasing the
taxation.
The House then proceeded to act on the amendments.
The House concurred in the amendment that any bank
or banking association now organized in pursuance of
the laws of any atate. under articles of association
which prohibit specified charges therein, may be
changed and converted into el national banking associa
tion, under the provisions of this act, without any
change in the articles of association as may be pro

notwithstanding; and its directors, at the time or such

WALNUT-811111T THHATR.II.--The story of "East
Lynne," dramatized especially. for Dills Laura
Keene, by its author, Mrs. Henry Wood, will be
produced in the best style of the WalntitAtreet
Theatre, on Friday evening. It is the brat dramatic
work of this highly successful novelist, and it is far
more effective and satisfactory, we understand, than
the ordinary adaptation. "East Lynne" has
already won an extended and brilliant career as a
sensation, but wilh the joint dramatic talent of
Dim Wood, Miss Keene will have, no doubt, an
abundance of fresh interest. With Miss Keene,
Mr. Leviok, an intelligent eharacterist, Mr. P. H.
Anderson, one of the ablest actors of the Walnut
street Company, and the other ladles and gentleman
of New York and Philadelphia companies, the play
will possess a meritorious cast. The performances
of Miss Keene, during this engagement, have boen
highly interesting and popular.
The "Sea at UV" was finely performed yester
day evening. Miss Laura Keene was charming in
the character of Ogarila, and Mr. Peters, as Bare.
bra, and Mr. Leviok, as Carlos, played their parts
admirably.

shares of twentyfive dollars , each. The corporation
ban no debt.
It bag acquired by purchase front the Lake Sup&

These lands are valuable, as containing veins of
Copper, iron, silver lead, and of the newly-discovered
iron pyrites, which has been recently analyzed in
Philadelphia, New Yotk, and Detroit, and which
- pyrites contain all of them gold. One assay gave
$241 of gold to the lon of vein matter. This WAN the
remit of the analysis made In this city by DubOlt &
Williams. The results in Detroit have surprised
the most sanguine, and caused the location since of
an immense amount of !tads supposed to contain
these metals. The analysis of the silver lead ore has
showed as high as thirty five pounds of silver to the
ton of lead. Some assays have gone to higher
figures.
The directors, in view of the large amount of
lends in possession, have agreed to divide the lands
into five companies, to be chartered by the State of
Michigan, which will be including the Marquette
Company, the "Yellow Stone," "Excelsior,"
"Northern," "Monitor," and Marquette. Each of
the additional four to have the same number of
shares, viz : 20,010, of $25 each. It is proposed to
distribute about 2.000 aerosol land to each company,
selected so as to properly proportion to each equal
amounts of desirable lactation's. Of the stock of the
new companies, 15,000 shares in each company will
be also distributed to the stockholders of the Mar
quette Dlinirg Company pro rate, at the time the
divirtion of thalami. is made. Five thousand shares
in each new company will be reserved for sale at
market price, to furnish a working capital, thus ob.
viatiog the necessity of assessments. It will not re
quire so long a time to develop in mining for the
precious metals as it usually take, to develop a
copper mine. Hence, sooner returns of profits may
be looked for.
The directors of the Marquette Company are,

It is well known that numerous explorers will
take the field, early as the snow disappears ; it is
certain that these explorations will give additional
value to these lands, which have been located in the
heart of the very beet locations of the gold and sil
ver regions of the Huron Mountains. Next sum
mer will, from their ants and reports, prove to the
stockholders of the Marquette Mining Company
the immense value of their ponersions—this is con
fidently believed by those interested in this newly
discovered region of wealth, and the directors trust
that our valuable lands will be found to contain
riches enough to Satisfy even the most hopeful.
A - letter from Alexander Campbell, our Michigan
director, who resides at Marquette, Michigan, will
show what he thinks of our lands :
PIIILADELpRIA, April 2, 1864.
Marmaduke Moore, President!
DEAR Six z The lands of the Marquette Mining
Company, lying within the new mineral range of
Lake Superior, are as well located as those o vned
by any other companies, and hence fully as valua
ble.. What number of gold and silver bearing lodes
may exist upon them can only be determined by ex
plorations ; but that such lodes do exist upon them
in many places is as certain an their existence in the
district. One of the tracks runs five miles north and
south, by one-half wide, directly across the mate
of the Huron mountains, which I think is a larger
tract of laud than is owned by any other parties in
that locality ix olio body. On the east side of +hit
stupenCous uplift, it owns another tract two miles
north and south, and one• half mile wide, nearly in
a compact body.
The balance of its lands in this district are west
and northwest of the Lake Superior silver Lead
Company, and in bodies from 100 to 320 acres, envoi
which era 'efficient for one company, if rich vein,
are found upon them.
The fact of the existence of numerous lodes of
galena and pyritous ores are-now fully established.
Indeed, the entire formation abounds with lodes of
pyritous ores, some of which•tire °tercet extent,
From these lode, of galena, assays have been
made, producing from three pounds to forty of silver
to the ton of metal. Such assays have been made
from samples from different localities many miles
distant from each other, by John D. Williams, of
Portage Lake; Prof. Douglass, of Ann Arbor; Prof
Duffield. of Detroit; Messrs. Dubois & Williams, of
this city; Dr. Tony, of New York; Dr. Hayes, of
Boston, and others.
From the pyritous ores, of the same character as
the gold• bearing pyrites of Colorado Territory, am.,
says have been made by some of the same eminent
chemists, from localities equally remote from each
other, producing from $lO to $6OO of the precious
metals to the ton of mineral.
These facts, although they do not demonstrate the
existence of, gold and silver on all lands within the
range, yet they stamp it as pre-eminently a rich
mineral district, well worthy the attention of !rapt
tangle. The work to be done now is to find and
open the veins which bear these metals—a work
that will be prosecuted with vigor this coming sum
mer, and with a success, from present evidences,
that will electrify the whole country.
I am, yours very truly, ALEX. oAxi.nzi.L.

Imo recently been made by Indians) from their
trapping grounds in the neighborhood of the Huron
Mountains, proving the existence of a large prop or
tion of gold. In some instances, it is said, $6OO
to the ton of rock. This, of course, produces quite
a sensation, and all the land in the region of country
round about the supposed auriferous hills and
streams is in great demand. Many of the old rest
dents and explorers, on Lake Superior, well quail-
Jac d tojudge,. have long been of the opinion that gold
does exist in the Huron Mountain region, and it is
not improbable that the precious metal is now about
to be brought from its hiding pleat, and made to act
an important part in sustaining the credit of the
country and bringing about a speedy return to
specie payments.
At the close of navigation last fall nearly every
acre of land in that region constituted a part of
Uncle Sam's farm but large inroads have since
been made, and the principal portion of it has been
taken by those who wish to secure a little gold and
silver patch, from which to extract their small
change, besides, soma to sell to their appreciatirve
friends below. Should those mountains be made to
disgorge extensive treasures of the precious metals,
both the Government and the lucky purchaiera will
