This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the fucts set lorth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of iron ore have beeti dis- covereu ai oiner points, witninine past eighteen mouths, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore iu Crowder's Mountain, (live veins ol Iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be- tore, ana wnicu win lurnisu an inomit of eood ore, easily worked and .above water, that must make It one of the most desirable iron properties to be found.

McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, is an observant man, clear sighted, a deep thinker and an able writer. In his Southern tour he has noted closely the condis tion of things in the section through -which he travels, has gathered a con siderable amount of information about the progress, "resources and possibilities of the South, which he has given to the public through the medium of letters published in his papers. - In one of his recent letters from New Orleans he discusses the negro problem in a practical and also in a speculative way, in which he views the negro in the past as a factor in politics, and the negro in the f u ture as a factor. As far as anything like negro domination is concerned, he thinks that question is forever settled, for even though in localities that might for a time prevail, "here," to quote mm, "as elsewhere in the Union, and as elsewhere in every civilization of the world, intelligence, integrity, and property, when corns bined, will inevitably rule in the end ; and the battle of the blacks for poltts ical mastery, even if honestlv and wisely led, could have attained only htJul triumphs." ; Intelligence, integrity and property control the world over, regardless of color. It is the few that control the many in the Northern States, where the color question does hot enter into discussion, and the many permit the taw to rule. There it is done through the instrumentality of party organi zation which is substantially as effec tive as the fiat of a despot. He appre hends one difficulty, however, which he thinks the Southern people will have to face in the future. Colored solidity is broken, but in that very break he thinks there may be trouble in the future, in bringing to the front a class of men, ambitious and with out principles, who will play dema- gogue,to the colored element for the purpose of securing their votes to be elected to office. This would be prac tically but a repetition of what has been done under Republican manipu lauon, ana u wouia nardlv Drove more. effective in putting'bad or in competent men in office in the future than it was in keeping the Republi can party in power. The man who would go out of his way to pander to the negro element by whatever name he might call himself would array against hirn the "intelligence, integ rity and property" to which Mr. Mc Clure refers, and he would go to the wall. Where the negro element strongly predominated he might tern porarily succeed, but defeat would overtake him, and bis permanent re tiring from politics would only be a question of short time. Questions of this kind, while they afford field for speculation and a vast amount of theorizing, work out their own solution, and demonstrate how valueless and far from the mark the great bulk of this speculation and theorizing is. Some writers have gone into statistical figures to show, from the increase oi the respective races in the South, that it is only a question of time when the colored population will be so numerous that the white man won't stand th ghost of a chance in comparison, entirely losing sight of the fact that even, if this disproportionate . increase in the birth rate were true, that in coming years millions of white people from other sections of this country, and from abroad, are to find their homes in the South, where heretofore there has been comparatively no itnmigra- tion. i. xne movements of the human family are not governed by caprice any more than the movement of the tides or the flow of rivers. , u- t : r-si- : THE LEGISLATURE.

Contrary to general expectation the gold product of the countrv in crease during the year about $800,000 tne total output ot tne mines amount ing to $30,807,169. The increase probably is mainly owing to the final adjudication of the suit against the hydraulic mimug companies m Cali fornia and the greater amount secur ed in the silver districts toy improv ed methods of separation. The suits were uniform! v decided against, the Calfornia companies, it is true, but when decided the companies appear to have gone energetically to work to do the best they could under the jud icial interpretation of the law, in stead of abondoning their mines; as they threatened in case the decisions should be against them.

Besides the heavy bodies of timber we have described, and which Mr. Sargent estimates would cut from fifty to one hundred cords per acre, there are irregular but much smaller bodies on Lake Superior, on the peninsular lying be tween Lakes Huron! aud Michigan, and in the Adirondack region, of Northern New York, t- Outside of these the average.cut of timber will not exceed from twenty to fifty cords per acre, while in a number of States, in whole or iri part, the aver age ranges irom ten to twenty cords tuTaOTuowu.w one or two coras I TJaT,v;nn ri i- t- . per acre.

West of the ; Rocky mountains along the slopes of the coast range in Northern . Colin fornia, extends a long irregular belt of .timber that would yield irom one hundred to two hunded cords per acre, while in Oregon and Washings ton Territory there are .bodies of timber heavier than any that 'can be found elsewhere, some of which in Washington Territory, running up to the British Une, would cut over two hundred corda to the acre. . The most important information ft) be drawn from these maps is the enormous extent to which the heavy growth of our forests has been de stroyed, and the great changes that must ultimately be produced in our climate unless our remaining resour ces are regulated by law.
