; ' : REPORT. '
i It has Ionjr been known that copper pyrites, or the yellow
suiphuret of copper and of iron, is found associated wiih the
iron pyrites of the gold veins of North. Carolina : but it was
not known until the present -year, that the copper ore occur
red !in sufficient quantiiy to authorize operations expressly for
extraction. : ',
Through the enterprise tof a few gentlemen now.associated
with tfie North Carolina Copper Company, the fist proper
minim; operations were commenced, and their labors have
already been crowned with great succe-s.
: The mine owned by the North Carolina Copper company
j was originally opened with some success as a gold mine ; but
thi copper pyrites was soon found co form so large a propor
tion ot tht? vein as to warrant Mr. Fentres?. the original pro.-
prietor, to offer the same for sale in New York as a copper
mine ; arid it was purchased by several n embers of this Com-'
pa nv for the purpose oi Working it' for copper. ij
. The unparaleled success of the first mining operations.
The production of. a profitable cargo ot good copper ore from
the first "shafts sunk, and before any regular, levels had been ,
excavated or grade work, begun, 13 certainly quite unusual
success, for it is very seldom that the preparatory operations
of mining are repaid by the mineral raised in those opera
tions, but more frequently as-sessments are called tor on the '
.shares to pay the cost of the work. Not only has your mine
been worked without any call upon the shareholders for mo
ney, but a considerable profit is understood to have been re
alized from the sale of copper ore raised from the shafts con
structed iii the opening of the mine.
On the "251ft and 26th of April last, I made a thorough ex
amination of this mine, surveyed the vein, and mfasurcd it in
all accessible places where it was exposed. 1

In the midst of the soft talcoceSiate, .occurs a large vein of
quartz, aecorupanied with nuiheioussmaileryeins of the same
material. The dnartz veins in the iutlt shaft A, form an ag
gregate of 2 feet 4 inches in thickness, one being T) inches
thick, another 8 inches, and a third 8 inches thick, and these
veins converge t'werds each other as they dip towards the
whym shaft B. and appear to unite with the great vein ex-;
posed in that shait. Lpper pyrites occur abundantly; inter
mixed with the quartz of all the veins, i
The sh;ift A is 6i) feet deep, and cuts the veins too near
their outcrop to be in an advantageous position: still there
I has b -en obtained from it a considerable supply ot copperore
1 bv working down the siop j of the vein toward the whym
shaft 13. , '
I Tiie whym sjntt was sunk still further-on the slope of the
j vein.'but not liir enough to ai!ow of sufficiently extended
j workjng of slopes or grade. It was, therefore, decided upon
1 by the miners to sink a new sha t still further to the liorth-
westward, in order to attack the vein at a depth of ishdut two
) hundred feet. This" shait will be the engine, or principal shaft
I of the mine.
i On descending into the whym sl.ait, I iound that the vein
: of auartz rich in ciDerore. was "6 feet 7 inches thick, and
that on its lower side there was a regular vein of copper py
rites 1 f.,ot 4ti inches in thickness. The quartz vein itself
was full of nests, and bunches ot copper ore, mingled with a
small proportion of higlvy erystabzed tin-white iron byrites,
an. ore which has not been analyzed, but which probably con
tains arsenic, and perhaps cobalt.
The great quartz vein, containing the copper ore, dips N 25
dr-grces" VV, 83 degrees on the upper side, and 45 degrees on
the lower s dei thus presenting an opening of 5 degrees in the
angle of the vein, a widening vvhich is to rapid to be other
th;m local. ' .
There is evidently a tendency in the great vein to becomo
more Vertical in its dip ; for while in shait. A the dip-is but 15
degrees from the horizon, in ih? whym shaft B, 43 feet further
N. VV., we tiud the dip to average 40 degrees.
it ;s very desirable tnat the lode should have a more vesi
cal dip, for the work of mining is much more simple on erect
Veins, since the perpendicular shaft work keeps longer near
upon the vein, and therefore is less crasscutting required, and
fewer winzes h ve to be sunk in the levels.

I o-k; whither it is conveyed by llank road to
M k, thence to Wilmington by steamboats,
t is shipped on the regular trt'ders to the place
kiatioii.The ore is put up in small barrels jcon
1 mx or seven hundred pounds each. Ore from
F-e- has already been sold in New York to the
I of many thousand dollar's. It . has been sojd at
froiii 180 to $204 per ton, while the jotaj
llTudiieitaii and transportation is about 15
leaving an immense prcfiu ' 1
V0Qpaay'ha5, for the presentr discontinued the
sive and profitable work, so soon as the leve
rilnne of the vein in the whvm shaft, and stooeing ground is
thus opened. Meanwhile the engine shait must be sunk at
the point D in the section, and then you will have a new and
deep cut upon the loJe. There should be two gangs of mi
ners employed, so that "while the dead work in the engine
shaft is going on, the riiining operations on the lode in the
whym shaft will pay for the dead work, as they will, and also
yieid a large profit besides. . .. j
The engine shaft will not cost more than S3.000, if the vein
holds its present inclination. It will strike th" vein at the
depth of 165 feet, if the dip holds at 35 degrees, and at "217
feet, it it proves to be 45 degrees. Should the vein pitch more
perpendicularly, so that the engine shaft will not cut it at 217
teet, a crosscut is easily to be made to the lode, and Jhere will
still be'anadvantage in having that shaft at a low level, since
it will drain off all the water from the mine. I shall therefore
approve of the construction of the new'shaft, as has been pro
posed by your head miner. ' ! T
The whole thickness of the strata over the copper vein, 1
find to be 158 teet, . . i .
I made a survey of the vein and, so far as practicable
have determined its course on the property of the Companv.
I found that the course ot the vein was N. 45 degrees h. . 4 j
degrees VV., and its dip is N. 25 degrees W..; Horn 3o to 4a
degrees averaging therefore 10 degrees dip. j
The length of the vein, if it extends on its course to the
bound iries of tlie Company's property, is 1,810 leet : namely,
1,-ui leet 10 ine souinwesiwuiu 01 ouan n., un
northeastward of the same shaft. ItJeannot be known.ot
course, whether the lode is rich throughout the whole of this
distance1, but from the ascertained fact, that shatt C, which cuts
the outcrops of the tipper veins of shaft A, disclosed the ore as
usual -at that place, we mav presume that the largeve in
below viil be found to be ricalso. The vein may be regarded
as si.tKiMf.ntlv (irnvpil: for th;.t distanee; 310 feet. !
There is abundant room for mining operations on the vein,
n nv exposed by the workings already executed, to w-arrant
the belief that the mines cannot l.dl'fo yield profitable returns
tor many years ; and it is highly probable that additional dis
coveries' will increase'the value of these new mines, j
The- fact that, from a space twelve feet square, and 5 teet
high, your miners, while excavating xhe shaft, extracted n ty
barrels of No. I;' copper ore which weirdud about bOO tbs
per barret, and the ore yielded 24 per cent of copper,
will give some idea of ihe value of this rich copper vein-, whicn
is as yef hot opened so as to give anything like its full yield of
r wiis informed at the mines, that in one place, a ton of No. :
1 copper- ore was extracted from a space 4 feet, wide, '6 teet
deep, and 5 feet high. ' ;
The books of the Company, I suppose, will show the amount
of ore feoid to the .smelters. rl his, it must be remembered,
hits beeh produced trom the works done m the mere prepara

i THE AMERICAN DELEGATES
TO THE BRITISH A5D FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.
Si-sce the appointment of the delegates who were
commissioned by the American Bible Society, to rep
resent that Institution at the Anniversary of the
British and Forehm Bible Society in London, and
e-pecially since ti ey have left this country, one of
their number has been assailed with characteristic
animosity by various abolition presses'on both tides
of the water; the one class following up his depart
ure j.nd the other anticipating his arrival. We have
refrained from alluding to ihe subject until the meet
ing of the latter society should have been held. That
anniversary was celebr ated in Exeter Hall on the 4th
inst:, as our readers will learn by the correspondence
of the Observer. We deem it proper, especially on
account of the connexion of one of the delegation
with the Observer, to give a history of the case, as
the means of answering the many inquiries which are
made upon the subject. .
The American Delegation, as first appointed, con
sisted of Bishop Mcllvidne, of Ohio, and Drs. Ver
milye and Adams of this city. Dr. Adams was not
able to attend, and the Rev. S. I. Prime, having made
his arrangements lor a foreign tour on account of the
feeble state of his health.' was bubsequently appoint
ed. He left New York in a packet fcbvp so late, thai
it was uncertain whether he could' reach London in
lime for the anniversary, and uncertain whether his
health would allow him to attend any public meetii g.
He did arrive, however, before the close-of April, and
proceeded io London, j In advance of his arrival, his
abolition friends in ihijj country had sent out the im
portant intelligence that he was coming as a pro-slavery
man, and an opponent of Mrs. Stowe and her
Uncle Turn's Cabin. In the present excited ttate of
the public mind in . Great Britain on the subject of
American Slavery " in general, and of Uncle Tom in
particular, this was enough to ensure him a warm re
ception.' Public meetings were held in, honor of his
coming, and resolutions adopted, remonstrating against
his appearance in Exeter Hall. Auxiliary Societies
sent up their protests, and a communica ion was re
ceived by the British and Foreign Bible Society, stilt
ing that "a body of men w-as organized" to take
measures to drive h in from the platform, if he should
appear. All ibis seemed to him and to his friends
exceedingly ridiculous, and particularly malignant,
considering the state of bis health, which utterly for
bade his par.icipating inr'the excitement of such an
occasion. One of the London daily papers, the
Morning Advertiser, was particularly fierce in its de
nunciations of Mr. Prime as a pro-slavery man; and
the people of Great Britain were earnestly called up
on to prevent him from being heard. It w-as there
fore ereatlv to' be reL'retted that his feeble' health
made it necessary for him to decline the public con-
test to which these attacks invited him, ana wnicn ne
was most anxious to meet. His American friends
j allied round him in great numbers, and proposed a
public meeting to express their sense of the treatment
received, and of the ii suits offered to their country;
but the wise -t course seemed to be, to let the storm
blow over, in the hope that an opportunity would oc
cur to enlighten the public mind on a subject on which
it was so profoundly ignorant mid so intensely preju
diced. In the intercourse of private li e, Mr. Prime
was treated with ureat courtesy ; but the friends of
the Bible, Society were sorely troubled lest his public
appearance on their platform should prove the signal
for a riot, lie sent his credentials to the Bible Soci
ety, accompanied 'bv a note saying, that owing to the
state of his. healt i" he would not be able to partici
pate in the public extcises of the meeting, to which
he receive-d" no reply.
The Rev: Mr. Cook of the American Tract Society,
Rev. Dr. Vennih e of New York, and Rev. Dr. Nel
son of Mas., were all assailed by name, on account
of their alleged indifference or hostility to the anti
slavery movements in America; but none of these
gentlemen had the honor of being posted as opponents
of Uncle Tom. This distinction was reserved for
another, and it served to make him the mark of the
most violent but harmless abuse.
There exists at the present time among the masses
of the people of Great Britain' a bitter hatred of
Americans. The appearance of Uncle Tom's Cabin
h is created or brought out a deadly hostility to this
country.. Such feelings of enmity arc considered by
Abolitionists as indicative of a good work and it is
encouraged ; nay, they are doirg all they can to make
it more violent "by way of frowning upon slaver-.
Those of high rank . in" England have also deemed it
for their interest to increase thc.excitement and fan
the flame of hostility. Mrs. Stowe's book has been,
in their estimation, a perfect god-send to the friends
of despotism in Europe. Noble lords and ladies have
most freely lent their services to the work of foster
ing in the minds of the people, and greatly by nieans
of this book, a. feeling of intense hatred to a land in
which the hereditary and exclusive claims to nobility
are not acknowledged. AVith all the history of the
past, and with ad ihe present before us, it would be
a stretch of charity to suppose that they are actuated
by a pious honor of ojpression, and love, of true lib
erty for all mankind. ' The thought is rather ludicrous
than otherwise
Eepoet on the Public School System. It was
briefly mentioned, in our report of the First Branch
of .the city Council, yesterday, that Mr. McJilton,
from the joint committee on education, had presented
a lengthy report adverser to a change in the present
public school system. This report is in response to a
memorial of Archbishop Kenrick and others, referred
to the committee, asking for a reform in the public
school Jaw, so that the Catholics may have a portion
of the school fund per capita, dec. They state " that
they have carefully scrutinized the language of said
memorial, and have entered into a thorough examina
tion of the subject of out public school system of edu
cation, and the objections urged against it, and have
come to the conclusion that it will be most injudicious,
if not absolutely dangerous, to adopt the requirements
of said memorial, and approbate the prayer of the pe
titioners." That the decision of the committee may
be more fully appreciated, they record the full argu
mentative view they have taken of the subject, in the
course of which they say :
" The casuistry of tlie scheme under review can
have nothing to do with the present system of public
school iirs! ruction.! Because a ' man is bound to wor
ship God in amanner most agreeable to Him, as the
memorialists say, the deduction, to the committee, is
wholly incomprehensible ; that, therefore, a portion
of the school fund shall go to the Catholic schools !
If the public schools interfered with this obligation to
worship God, then they should be either abolished
or changed. To take a portion of the funds and give
them to the Catholics could not cure the evil. : Who
are-'employ'fevt "t3 e&chersin these schools ? Are they
men and women who ' worship' God ? Out of the two
hundred and sixty-three teachers employed, the com-.
mittee learn that between torty-hve and htty belong
to the Roman Catholic denomination. If so, this is a
fair proporiion of worshippers ; but if the others do
not worship God, the committee are ot opinion that
they ought to be recommended to do so ; and if the
forty-five Catholic teachers are pursuing a 'godless'
vocaiion, they are surely tne nt subjects ot church
discipline, and should be promptly dealt, with by the
church judicatory.
One of the members of the committee on the part
of the First Branch, Mr. D. Rayhice, withheld his sig
nature from the report. B. Sun.
State Agricultural Society. The State Agricul
tural Society held a called meeting in this city, on
Wednesday and Thursday last. The President, Mr."
Dancy, of Edgecombe, presided. We expected to be
able to publish the official proceedings of the meeting
in to-day's Star; but we have not been furnished with
a copy, and enn only State that the Society acceded
to the resolution of the Commissioners of the City of
Raleigh, appropriating $2,500 to provide for ihe
grounds and buildings for the State Agricultural Fairs,
proided a likesum be raised by individuals, or Socie
ties, and provided further the rair be permanently
located here. The Society also appointed a committee
of three to select the grounds, and report io the next
meeting, Wake county being confidently relied upon
to meet th.? liberal, offer, of Raleigh, and raise $2,500
by subscription, on her part, to accomplish this highly '
important object. A resolution was likewise adopted, '
calling on t'.e County Societies to contribute to the.
fund to be distributed in the premiums at tlie Fair.
This is an important resolution. Every County.Sociely
disinterested in swelling this fund, as. -dl their members
may compete at the Fair, and share in its distribution.
We hope $50 at least will be raised by each Society
to add to the general premium fund. It was resolved
to go ahead and hold the Fair appointed to be held
in this city in October next, and great zeal and anxiety
for its success were manifested by every member pres
ent." So the Fair trill be held; and the people from
every portion of the State, from the seaboard to the
mountains, are expected to stir themselves, and make
their arrangements to be here aye, let the whole State
be here, to encourage our agriculturalists, our mechan
ics and our miners in the onward march of improve
ments, and give ftill blaze to the bright prospects
which have dawned upon us as a " power upon earth."
The Society adjourned to meet again in this City on
the ISih'juf October next, when the first State Fair
will be held. We hope the newspaper press will
agitate this subject fuljy, aud keep the matter " before
ihe people.'' 0lan
Seaboard and Roanoke Rakiload Connection
w ith Norfolk, &c. An adjourned meeting of the
Stockholders of the Seaboard and Roanoke Kailroad
Company was held at their office, in Portsmouth, on
Wednesday and Thursday last. Arrangements were
made to fund the floating debt of the Company, which
will relieve it we learn, from its existing embarrass

ferry with the railroad; The Company have offered
to appropriate a part of their wharf and dock at the

Consid-rable excitement arose in the Maryland
Episcopal Convention at Baltimore on Friday. It
appears that at the last session a letterffom the
Standing Committee to Bishop Whittingham, con
demning the course of Rev. Dr. Johns for preaching
in a. Methodist Church, was read and entered upon the
Journal Hon. James Carrol on Thursday ofiered a
series of resolutions to expunge the obnoxious letter,
and reflecting severely on the course of the Standing
Committee. Several amendments, were offered, and
the debate was continued with great acrimony all
Thursday afternoon, and the next morning, almost pll
the points of difference between the high and low
church pirties being discussed; Much confusion and
excitement prevailed yesterday, with calls for the pre
vious question, &c. Finally without coming to a de
cision, an adjournment till four o'clock was agreed
upon. Newark Sentinel.
Singular and Painful Case. Near Millerstown,
on the 13th inst., Dr. S, E. Hall extracted from the
j right ear of Mr. Joseph Gelbach, two hundred lire
i maggots. It seems that a fly or bug entered the drum
j of his ear, when he immediately started to the Phy
j sician; but before he reached him the insect had left
its tenement. This occurred two days previous to the
extraction, in vvhich time the patient suffered intense
pain. It is supposed by the Physician that the insect
had deposited its, eggs during the short time it was in
the ear. Gettysburg (Pa.) Sentinel.

Anna Bishop to the Mayor's Court of Lynchburgh, on
Saturday last, to answer a summons brought against
her by one of the servants engaged at her last Cou
certs, to attend her behind the stage. She was ac
companied by the portly Bochsa, and followed by a
numerous and appreciative audience. The affair for
which Madame Bishop was summoned, was an attempt
at extortion, and his Honor gave instanter a verdict in
lor fvnri She then bowed to the Mayor, bowed to
the crowd, as gracefully as she does on the stage, and

Directions were given, ,we understand, to extend
the time for receiving freight until a later hour in the
afternoon, and thus avoid the delay that attends the
present arrangement.
A passenger in the two o'clock train cannot make
his purchases before 3 or 4 o'clock, and as the freight
will not be icceived niter 3 1-2 oclock, their gooas
must lie over for two or three days. The accommo
dation jiairi runs only three times a week, find by los
ing the next morning train this delay occurs. Six
o'clock instead of 3 1-2, is the hour that we should
suggest as the proper time for closing the freight list,
in which event an order of one day can be answered
by next morning's cars. Beacon.
The Gardiner Case Washington, May 20. In
Ihe Criminal Court this morninsr. Juoee Crawford in
timated his purpose of discharging the jury in the J
Gardiner case. Mr. Fendnll, in behalf of the United
States, advocated their discharge, and Messrs. Bradley
and Carlisle, for the defendant, opposed the prop
osifion. '
The court then cited authorities, among them that
of the Supreme Court, trivins: the judges discretiona
ry power, under certain circumstances, to discharge :
juries, and said that he was satisfied that the time
had come to exercise that discretion. He accordingly
directed the deputy marshal to bring the jury into
court.
The jury on entering court appeared much fatigued
from their week's confinement, but cheerful at the
prospect of being set at liberty.
Mr. Middleton, clerk of the court, addressing the
jury said: " Gen tlemen,. have you agreed upon a ver-
diet r . j
Mr. Magruder, the foreman, replied, " We have not
and could not if we remained out until Christmas."
The court" Gentlemen, I am sorry you have not
agreed. In reflecting upon the case I have come to
the conclusion to discharge you, as it seems that you
never would be able to agree. You are therefore dis
charged." j
We afterwards learned from the iury that on being
discharged they stood precisely as they did when they
first left the jnry boxv viz : Messrs. Lane, Bain and
Borland for conviction, and the remaining nine for
acquittal.
