This is all that it necessary for a cheap and successful reduction, for when the ore is in a proper condition there are different methods, by which the precious, metals may be'exiraotedj lout, of which a choice can be made. The method adopted by Mr. Willard is chlorination, which haa generally, be'eji ?iilare a ''gola oreir, for the reason5 that if re quires a perfect roast, which in all known furnaces is obtained, if obtain ed at all, "only by the use of the utmost! care and skill. Mr. Willard's method is as follows: Aftefjthaf oemfiashed ia fBjake. crusher' pulverized iria baTl'pul verizer and screend to eighty, it is drawn out v on a mixing floor, where the first stage v of the process begins. A quantity of fine carbonaceous material, by prefer ence sawdust, which is inexpensive and in & finely divided .condition, is rjt-rfprad iproni tb floorad thoi oughly wet with salt water. The ore is spread evenly over it and carefully i raked into it till the two materials are thoroughly mixed. The wetting with salt Water is coptjnued unil tbenass , ia slightly adtaesv'e whenlpressetl in the hand. It is now ready for charg- ing into me iurnace. The furnaces, which are only experi mental ones, are four feet in diameter, circular in form, and sixteen inches deep, with a capacity of seven hundred pounds. The cover j M f heti iron, loosely, fitting, and opening by a hinge, dti the bacfc of the' furnace, and under the cover, is a flue .leading to' the - chimney for carrying off the gases and vapors. In-the bottom &l the furnace is a pipe aboht atf inchln. diameter, connected with an" air dohipre'ssor for introducing air and water vapor. - Underneath the furnace is a .fire-box. with the usual appliances for heating. The method of using the , furnace is to . build a fire in the fire-box and keep the draft open until the bottom of the furnace is about red hot, when the doors are closed and little or no fuel is . added till the end of the -treatment, or till f the; furnace is ready for n fresh , ; charge. rjf;':-. --,4-i 1 tJ?;:;!!,?: The furnace being - hot: etrough,' a thin layer . of saw dust, straw or any convenient carbonaceous m ater ial : is strewn over the bottom and the mixed ore is charged in till it is 'filled to the flue. The air compressor is set in motion, the air admitted through suit . . ably arranged valves into the bottom, and the action begins immediately. ' The theory of what takes place is as follows : The sawdust strewn over the , bottom of the furnace undergoes de . composition or slow combustion, and - communicates it to the sawdust in the ore, The sulphuret decomposes by the heat, and hydro carbon gas and carbpniejxide form with the water aillnhnrhna ap.id.Siph?rh'aMnilrflf fVn decomposing it. The chlorine freed! from the salt combines with the iron, copper, gold, silver and any . other . metal left exposed by the decomposi . tion of the - sulphuret, and forms chlorides of the metals. These metals - then, except he gold and. silver, are cnanged into oxides by the 'draft of hot oxygen from . the compressor, . ' which is constantly forcing its way up from below. The silver is not affected by the oxygen, but remains a chloride of silver, while the gold is rendered bright anU free xae gases- in passing through t,n ejnass pi wetore are,au ub v cold when theylissue from the top of the furnace, and may ce conqensea in Afcharsber if desired; After an hour the top of the m ass s: in the lurnace begins to undergo combustion, and in lessjhan threes Jiqurs,.thehole. action ceases, and the ore is roasted.

The Nottoway ore was a very heavy sulphuret, containing 27 per cent, of sulphur, 3-7 per cent, of antimony, and .a per tcjivui arsenic, xue smuggler ore contained 6 per cent: sulphur, and a little tellurium, the amount of which was not determiued. The tests applied showed not the faintest trace of arsen ic, antimOTytellirmn orsulphur in anjfcits fcrhs. y Another test we made on a high grade Smuggler ore, worth over $400 per ton, and containing a considerable quantity of sulphur and tellurium, which was not, however, exactly de termined. If is also perfectly roasted. The leached ore from these two lots, and other lots, shows theslightest trace of gold..'

But I have since received from friendsn letters df advice and kinI.warmngJ.saying it- i a duty owe to myself to make a candid and firm vindication of these jnisrepresen &QoAs,i' tpe ially where Tam reported as making disparaging rem arks and in vidious comparisons between my hus band and other Confederate officers. A few; weeks: since,, the editor of the Philadelphia Times solicited me to write some sketches1 for his paper. whose columns he had thrown open to boutnern writers, torcontributions to '(Anhalso thV War, In view 1 of his lfceraf 6ffer, foeadvlntage the South might gain from it, some of my friends urged m e td engage , in the. . work J It has Jong bee my intention to write out my persenal recollections of mv husband's life for the sake of his child, and after-fuH- consultation with iudi cibus friends, it was decided that there could be no im propriety in furnishing a suitable sketch to the Timf. How ever, my promise was only a condi tional one, that, if I succeeded in doing tne wors satisfactorily to mj-selt and friends, then only, would I consent to its publication. Tne Times reporter came unexpect edly to me, sought an interview, and Demg a ooutnern man of kind and cleajMift manners, and prpfessing?to Daye come tor the purpose pf encour Hgana.'a3sj3tuig-tna iaihe selection of popular items,, I .was incautiously iea into answering too ireeir tne mul uiuue oi questions wiin wnicn l was plied.'

I told him expressly that I did not intend to pub lh a depreciatory sword of any other public otticer, that .myt husbaml ' was a model of prudence, and never dispar aged tnose even oi whose policy he dis approved, and it would be extremely indelicate for me to do so. I did say tnac tteneral Jackson believed in bold swift,7 Untiring action, for he felt that the South ocruld afford do delay, but it was no retiection upon others to ; say this, and the expression that he want ed to press on, "blindly, furiously, madly," never came from my lips, and such words are totally at variance with bis clear-sigh ted, calm , . and resolute inode of action am also represent ed M.bfeiilg fail impressed withUhe belief, that if General Jackson had lived, or if his policy had been vigor ously pursued, the war might have had certnIvWroI tliat m expreEsioti of omnfotr Calhe fimhlmself,' and my reply wds, that the same remark was very frequently made to me by others. No man was ever more free from nettv jealousy and detraction of his fellow officers, or more submissive to supe rior authority, than General Jackson was, and even a shadow of an inputa tion of this kind, would be great injus tice to his unselfish, patriotic spirit and consistant Christian character, and certainly I would be the last person to make such an impression, or, draw an unfavorable comparison between him and our noble Generals Lee and John ston, or any other brave Confederate officer.- '. ;,v!.j:..'-Hyf The discussion, ju . tho 'article, of my private affairs, reveals an indelicacy that is to painful'; for'me ios-d well upon, but I would fain throw; the veil of charity over the whole publication, which was clothed iu language entirely different from myvbwn, believing the reporter's zeal in the interest; of f the Times, "carried tm beyond his own discretion, and eyen betrayed him to publish without my knowledge or consent a letter to my young daughter, which was shown him simply, as . a specimen of the impertinences of the' kind to which tve had been subjected. ;. ; . ..
