''The jjohl heariit": helt in north western America contains all ifold ticlds cxtcntlini' into Hritish (7'iliiin liiA, what is known as the north western territory And Alaska. The Yukon really runs along in that licit for f() or tint) miles. The lied ot the main river is in the low land of the valley. "The Jellow metal is not found in paying ijiiaittitiis in the main river, hut in the unall s, reams which cut thronch the mountains on cith er side. These piaetieally wash out thegold. The mini and miner al inaticr is carried into the main river, while the gold is left on the rough liottoms ot these side M reams. In most east s the gohl lies at the bottom of the thick gravel deposits. The gold is covered hy frozen grav el in the w inter, lhiring the sum mer, until the snow is all melted, the nil luce is covcicd 1V muddy torrents. lien the snow is melt eif and the springs begin to f rei zc, the streams dry up. At the up proieh of w inter, in order to get at the gold, the miiiera tftid it luces ssiy to dig into the gravel tornm tion. " Formally they stripped the grsv el olT. until they came to the g "Id. Now I hey sink a slialt to the bot tom of I lu; gravel and tunnel al fig underneath, in the gold liearing lay er. The way in which this is done is interesting as it has to be carried on in cold weather w hen everything is frozen. The miners build fires over the area ahere they fU to woik and keep these lighted over that territory for the space of about L'4 hours. At the expiration of this period the gravel will be miltul, and softened to a depth of perhaps six indue. This is then takt.n i tT and other fires built until the gold Itcarinit layer is readied. Whin the shaft is down that far fires arc built at the bottom, against the sides of the layer, and tunnels made in this, manner.

''I see many reasons why the gold fields should be particularly rich The streams which cut through the mountains have probably done so t'or centuries, wearing them down several hundred feet and washing out the gold into the beds ami gravel.

A volume of war records now in courso of preparation at t ho war department will settlo tho contro versy whether (it'll. Robert K Leo tendered his resignation after tho battle of Gettysburg. Tho reply of Jefferson Davis declining to accept the resignation has been a matter of common information, but tho char acter of tho lettor in detail which called out this reply has Iteen a mat ter of liueretico only until recently. Tho letter of resignation of (ioneral ,co will lie first printed ofllcially in a supplemental volutin) of tho war records, which is now being pre pared. It is given herewith in its entirety t "Camp Orange, August 8, till. "His Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate Stales. Mr. President: Your letters of July 2S Biul August 2 havo la-en re eoived, and I havo waited for leisure hour to reply, but I fear that I never come. I am extremrly obliged to yon for tl o attention given to the wants of this army and tho efforts mado to supply them Our absentee's aro returning, and I hope tho earnest snd beautiful ap peal made to tho country in your proclamation may stir up tho w hole H)ople, and that they may sen their duty and perform it. Nothing is wanted but that their fortitude should equal their bravery to insure the success of our cause. W e must expect reverses, even defeats. They are sent to teach us wisdom and rndencc, to call forth greater energies, and to prevent our falling into greater disasters. Our people lave only t) bo true And united, to bear manfully tho misfortunes inci- lent to war, and all will come right in the end. "I know how prono wo aro to censure and how ready to blame others for the nonfulfillment of our exudations. This ih unltoooming in a generous people, and I grieve to sec its expression. The general remedy for the want of success in a military commander is his removal. This is natural and in many in stances proper. For, no matter what may lc the ability of the officer, if he lost the confidence ot histrooj disaster must sooner or later ensue. "I have been prompted by these reflections more than onccsine-emy return from Pennsylvania to pro-1 pose to your Excellency the pro prietv of selecting another com-! mandcr for the army. I have seen and heard of exprcssiot.s of discon tent in the public journals at the re suit of the expedition. I do not know how far this feeling extends in the army. My brother efiiccrs have lieen too kind to report it, and so far the troip have bee-n too generons to exhibit it. It is fair, however, to suppose that it does exist, and success is so necessary to us that nothing should be risked to secure it. I, therefore, in all sin ceiity, request your Excellency to take measures to snpply my place. I do this with the more earncstnus because no one is more aware than mveell of my inability tor the duties of my position I csnnot even ac complish what I myself di sire. How can I tiilfill the expectations of others ? In addition I sensibly feci tho growing failure of mv bodily strength. 1 have not yet recovered from the attack I experienced lust spring. I am becoming more and more incapable of exertion, and thus prevented from making the pcrsonnl examination and giving ihe personal aupervision to the opera tions in the field which I feel to 1 necessary. I am so dull that in makii.g use of the eves ot others 1 am frequently misled. Everything, therefore, points to the advantage to lie derived from a new coinman dv, and I the more anxiously urge the matter npon your excelleney from my belief that a younger and abler man than myself can read ilv tie obtained. I know that he will have as gallant and brave an army as ever existed to second his efforts, and it would be the happiest day of my life to see at its head a worthy leader one that would accomplish more than I eonld perform and aK that I have wisned. I hope your excellency will attribute my request to the true reason, the desire to serve my country, and to do all in my power'to iusnre the soeeess of her righteous cause. "I bavfl no complaint to make of anyone but myself. 1 have received nothing but kindness from those aliove me, and the most considerate a tention from my comrade and companions in anna. To yonr ex cellency I am specially indebted for nniform kindneasand consideration. You have done everything in yoor power tt' aid tne in the work com mitted to my charge, without omitting anything to promote the general welfare. I pray that your efforts rosy at length b crowned with success, and that yon may long live to enjoy the thanks nt a grate ful people. Wii! svntiincn; of great esteem.

I noticed with snrpriso that Mr. Clews in his sketch uf Wall street dwells not at all upon tho benevo lent agency of that power during tho civil war. 1 hit ii an oversight which 1 ben leavo to supply. There has never perha been an instance in human history fn which great power has so ardently devoted itself "to ttia preservation of Iroo Instiiu tions" as did Wall street in that epoch of mortal agony. Then it was that Wall street vngagod In (ho patriotic work, first of destroying tho national credit, then ot buying it up at half price, then of convert ing it into a bonded debt to bo r putuated for a full generation and finally of compelling tho people to pay it fn a dollar worth four limes as much as tho dollar with wlndi it was purchased. It wss a beauti ful schtmo of devotion and self sac rilico the liko of which history has never before recorded. It was a spallation which involved the life of tho American republic. Iho un ion was on trial. All nerves were strained, and all heart wero torn. Tho nation wa bleeding at every pore. Evety freight train that camo Irom tho front brought back its load ed boxes of dead. Father and mothers gathered at tho station, and each received his ton. The tough Collin containing tho body of the pattiot loy who had given hi life tor tho tug wa taken by tho silent father and mother to its resting place under tho applo tree. All true men had tearful faces, and astern resolve in tho heart, and while this was tho condition of the nation and tho pewplo, tho hightoncd Wall street was Flocculating on tho life of the republic. It bought and sold blood. It was a bull on disaster and a V'ar on victory. It established bureaus through which to falsify intelligence and to bring the nation to the verge of ruin. It had no compunction. It regarded the gore of battlefields as tho rich rain and mould out of which its own harvest was to grow. The more blood the merrier. The more tears the richer the yield. The more war the more debt. The more depression of the national credit the more cheaply we shall Ihj able to gather it up : 1 he more grape vine despatches the more d istract ion ami the hotter opportunity tor us. The more death tho more millions The more horror and devastation the heavier will be our coffers. The more the people groan the more we shout The more they die the more we will live. The more the flag is torn the more our damask curtain will nutter. The more liberty perishes and withers from the earth the more we shall plant ourselves and runrish and rule and reign over a nation that we have destroyed and a people whom we have enslaved.
