Washington, March 2, lSOli Will theie be an extm session? Although onlv two legislative days remain of the present session, no man can answer that question with eerUinty. Of course-the general opinion is that there will , be no extra session but unless measures they are anxious to pass or discover some way of shutting off the democratic opposition, thereto, sill of the appropriation on bills will not gei t.irougu-in time 10 prevent .ui huh session. iny own uupiirtuu luui theie will be iij extra session, but that some verv careless arid immature le- Liiliition will be turned but during the last fortv-eight hours of1 the session, and as a greater part of it ? will be cu regular appropriation bilh it will impossible far the President to veto any of them without making it nec cpjrv to an extra scsion, and it is not probable that any-of it will be suf- ticcjitiv important to justuy mar.. '"The'twosubsidy shipping bills, one granting a storage subsidy to all American vessels engaged in forign trade and an other authorizing the post- master-General to contract with steam ships for carrying our mails to foreign countries, which passd the Senate last sumnk-r and w hie U have been theSuli- ject-of a great deul of contention in the House at this session, nave been disposeftot by if he house. - The first bill is the score of considerable, disap point ment to the administration, which urged its passage on the ground of bene fit of reciprocity. Nevertheless it was defeated by-J republican votes,, just a the bill that was passed owes its suc cess to democratic votes. ' " " , TheiSenate lias agreed to the House .tmehdlment to Direct tax biil,T which is jjow-fji Mr. Harrison Vhands, and re publiclins says that he has agreed to sign if. The bill pensioning the - widow of admirable Porter at $2 500 per aiihum is also in the presidents hands, having passed- both Houses without opposi tion: f Mr. Harrison has provided for two of the eminent republican ex-'s Sen ator Blair, has been nominated, and uiianimosly confirmed by the Senate, to be mjnistrated to China and Repre sentative AndtTrson has heen noniinatrd to be consul General to Egypt, but owing to .the ( various opposition pt Senator Ingalls, who is his bitterenemy and who is also unfriendly towards the President, he has not beer, confirmed, although the impression, is that Ik wilt be. Several days ao when ex-Senator Mahone, w lip, is a ver' tricky individual. came out m a gushing .newspaper in terview endorsing Senator Gorman for the de m'oc r a tic . P res i d e u t i a 1 n o n i i n a tion,i rumor was current here that Mahone was about to flop over into flip democartic party, but such was not the case. He was only up to one of hi lobbying tricks; he wanted all of Gor man, and he took that method of ob-j taining it and lie succeeded." Mahone "has a piece of ground in this cijy that he is anxiohs'to sell the. government for 250,000 to be used as a site for a new government printing office, and having failed to get the comimtte ap pointed to select a site to report in hi favor, he began working, as the nexi best thing,' and to prevent any site be ing purchased by this Congress. He had Senator Cameron with him from the start they have been a good many things together and Senator Butler, who always dances when Cameron pulls the string, was made tci get up in the Senate and and deliver the black guard, personal and "abusive speech, 'whiclr he will probably live to regret, in favor of a- resolution, offered by Gorman to potpone action until next December, it'solution was sidopted. 'ihere is-much indignatiorrin the labor oriraniz itions. at the deception; the were promised to build a new printing office in place of the unsafe and un healthy rattle trap now used, and the threaten-Vengeanee. Cameron dosen't care for ttietn, he has just been elected to a new term; and in Butlers state South Carolina they don't count for much, but Gorman will find that he has added a new force to thost existing that wjll oppose his re-election to tht finite, ami the Maryland Farm el's Alliance-has. already demonstrated that he will not have a walk over, -j There is much rivalry between the members of the two parties -in Con gress hsio which sh tlf -bo .most atten tive to Senator-elect" Kv le, of South Dakota, who is hery looking - over the ground. . Another death in the Fifty-first Congress. 'Senator Hearst passed quietly away bat urday night. Judging t frohi the recent, street scriranaage at Columbus, Ohio, editors are almost as dangerous to mSnkev rith as the gun thai yon know isn't 1 jaded, but there is room for improve ment in their markmanship. . -Another. meeting of railroad presi dents is to be held in New York in a ffsw- days.

The Uwharrie river section of Mont gomery eouutyjs fast; coming to the front a? a gold-producer. In a strip of country extending not more ! than ten miles in length and two mil(esin width, with the Uwharrie river running through the cen tre, not less than $o0,)00 has been taken out in the last fifteenlinonths, by the na tives, with only the'erudest kind of wash ing machinery, such us tlie hand rocker and pan. I y The latest and largest find was made h last week on the Martha Hall place, ou Bunnell Mountain being an 11 pound nug get, found by Mr Nelson Russell. A great many 6ne nuggets have been found in tke creeks and hollows, but none ap proaching this, the next in size weighing between four and five pounds. We confidently expect in the near fu ture, as soon as new and improved meth ods arc introduced, to see this section rated as the gold-producer of the United States. , - There is a wonderful- specimen of co rundum on exhibition jnAsheville. It is the product of one: of 'the mines of the Western North Carolina Corundum Com pany! This specimen weighs 100 pounds, is a sapphire and juby of wonderful eolor, and the, largest) and finest lump of pure corrundum in he world yet dis covered. Its chief use commercially is as an abrasive, audi fjr this purpose it ranks next to the diamond, reducing powder all substances in nature save the prince of gems. This specimen will be placed on exhibition at the World's Fair at Chicago, where the various uses of corundum will bo illustrated and ex plaired. -King's Mountain is the centre of a dis trict rich in ore of iron, manganese and gold. For several years mining engineers and chemists in the employ of Pennsyl vania capitalists have been prospecting that region, making their headquarters at King's Mpimtain; where they had a well-equipped laboratory. It is now an nounced that extensive developments are about to be made. These include the erection of a 100-ton furnace, steel plant and "manganese works, and the establish ment of several textile and other indus tries. Virginia, New York and Penn sylvania capitalists are said to have formed a syndicate for these purposes. Wc understand that the granite quar ries in Rowan and Iredell will be work ed on an extensive scale this season The quality is very fine. . I The lninciTil wealth of Davidson coun ty is unsurpassed by any county in this section, either in quantity or quality. Hut proper steps have not been taken to develop it. NOTES. A reportrfrom Charters Towns, Quecn- lant-, states that a 26-ounce nuajrt was found the other day at a place called Black Knob. ' Londoners are asked to buy shares in '"La. Velera," of Mexico, which is claimed to be the richest silver mine on the En glish market. Geologists have proved that the dia mond mines of South Africa are situated in vents or, chimneys varying from seventy to 15,000 feet in diameter. A Swedish engineer has inventod a ma chine for making horse-shoe nails out of iron rods. It makes 140 strokes per minute, oarh stroke producing two nail?. With the rfresent improved means of riinrng and millings many of the old abandoned mines Of California are being re-worked, and most profitably to the owner?. . Rich strata of nickel and chrome have been discovered in Silesia. Ilerr Krupp has offered a milliotmnd half marks for the property, but the owners refused to part with.it. A pottery company, with a capital of $-.00 00. of which SGo 000 has ben paid up, has been organized iu Stockton, Cab, to work clay from the deposits in Calavas county near Valley Spring. ; The scarcity of carbons or black dia monds for drilling purposes retards working in the Michigan mines. The price of carbons is higher and it may be that product is controlled by a black dia mond "trust. " Bradford McGregor, jfcho mechanical expert of Cincinnati, has succeeded, after numerous experiments, in uniting' al- .o-minum with glass, ,and he. claims to, be he first who hns don so and that the united - substances will prove a subtitute for plantinum, which costs $3.20 a pound. The production of pig in the United States last year is estimated at about 9, 050.000 tones gross, which is approxi mately one-third of all that was produced i i that time on the tace of the globe, and probably exceeds the current production of GreatvBritin for the first time in his tory.. , : Iti is reported that a French and En giisn syndicate has purchpsed the lagest of the well-luiow.n sul ph.it e of soda lakes, located near Chimney Rock. The lake is crrcular and about 240 acres in extent. This deposit which is very large, is par ticularly valuable from the fact of its proximity to a railroad. The London Statist has placed the an nual product of silver in the world at 130,000,000 ounces; and presents the fol lowing estimate of average annual conr sumption: Used in art for Europeans and other coinages, 20.000,000 ounces; taken from India, 50,000,000 ounces; taken from China, Japan and East. 30,000,000 ounces; purchased by the United States, 30,000,000 ounces.! - The Civil Service Commission seems to have few friends in Congress, but its enemies'lack; the pimnl courage to vote it out of e.tiistruce.
