A Correftpondeiit Havs There is Mucb ore Near Asheville Editor The Citizun : In your issue of the 8th instant apneared an article headed, "The Latest Raleigh Fake," in which you say: "Very little tin ore, worth the working, has ever been dis covered on this continent; and the prob abilities are that this 'latest discovery' will prove to be of little account." Further on in the article you say that such reports injure the State, etc. Now I will admit that you nre correct in saving such reports are liable to in jure the State, when they are made with out foundation, out when such reports are made, and can be verified, then what ? We do not claim that the ''latest dis covery from King's mountain" is a fact. We know nothing about it. Hut we rise to say that there is tin, in paying quantities, on the American continent; and no farther off than the Balsam mountains, which lie in sight of the city of Asheville. We do not wish to make any statement which we are unable to prove. II any one, wishing to invest in tin, desires to investigate the truth of our assertion, please refer them to us, and we will show them S0O acres of the richest tin ore ever discovered on the American continent.

IN HI IDIAH IMv ISO ATM - Could a Man Live In One If an Explosion Took Place Near Ii'f Newport, Dec. 11. Commander Geo. A. Converse, U. S. N., in charge of the torpedo station, will have a scries of most extraordinary experiments begun off the station iu the outer harbor. They are ordered uv the Navy department, and theohp ctis to determine what would be the i fleet upon the crew of a subma rine boat ot the detonation of bighexpl ) sives under water and near by. The Navy department have bids for the building of certain submarine boats, aud belore any arc accepted it is desired to know if a crew working such boats could live with explosions g"ini; on in their immediate vicinity. The experiments are therefore of great importance. A Lay torpedo boat will be used and submerged s une 12 feet. Four hundred feet away 100 pounds of gun cotton will be detonated, and this amount moved nearer and nearer the boat and detona ted till the submerged vessel suffers col lapse. N. Y. Sun.

The numbers are also in favor of rural free mad delivery and call upon Congress and the Postoflice department to extend the free dc livery of mail into the country as fast as it can lie done without an enormous increase in the net expense of the Postoflice department, and demand that there should not be any lowering of the pnsent rate of letter postage until mail is delivered at least three times a week in all townships having a popula tion ot ten or more per square mile. In view of the great benefit not onlv to their agricultural interests, but to all others accruing from a well conducted system of improved highways the con gress urges upon the governments of the several States of the union to specifically call the attention ot their State 1 gisla ttircs to the importance of action in de vising such system.
