uumimlful of the fact ? which every mi
ner knows well? that the real wealth of
a gold or copper mine usually increases
iu ratio to its depth in the solid rock. I
have uot seen a shaft here excavated
deeper than sixty feet, yet iu California
some have already been sunk to a depth
of over I.HtMifeel. All these mines may,
therefore, be said to be literally un
tom-hed I do uot exaggerate when I
say that i cauieto many places where,
??vera space of many acres, every piece
of rock, each handful of soil, contained
more or less of the precious metal, and
would abundantly pay for washiug or
crushing. 1 came to many aud abomlon
ed mines where, after all the apparently
good pieces of ore had been carried on,
the loose rocks left behind as in.?re rub
bisli, were teeming with golden parti
cles.
It is, I believe, allowed atiion^ miner.-*
that t ?* 1 1 cents per bushel will repav the
labor aud expense of crushing rock for
gold ; but there are few gold veins I sis
ited in Virginia tliat do not yield easily
from one to two pennyweight ( dollars)
per bushel of ore One of them, particii
inry, the Bel/oru mine, in Goochland
count f, has yielded ?s much a* three
hundred dollars a dav from one crushing
machine only, and frequently .me linn
dred dollars a day from six ordinary
stnni|H Nuggets of gold, worth from
fom to seven dollars each have been tie
.ptently picked up ou its surface The
->auie enormous mineral wealth is well
known tofaxist through that whole legiou
for I found and sawabundant^evideures
of it at the Tellurium, Muik* Walter,
Lowery Johnson Hughes. Cades, and
Colluis mines] in the same county of
Goochland ; at the Moseby , Chalk-level
Fountain; |Cox and Sandj's mines iu
Fluvanna county, and also at the Light

I From the Salisbury Uuioii fciiiuer j
We notice that the New Vork Herald,
and other of onr Northern exchanges,
have been tilled for some time with tslse
reports concerning the condition of af
fairs in th?s State The want of veraci
ty j of the correspondents 'of these
journal' are well known aud
they have been adding |to their
character by writing letters from
this State containing idle, false and |ri j
diculous stories regarding her and her
people. The people throughout the State
and the press generally, have given to
Governor Holden and the other aurhuri- 1
ties over us a warm and earnest support,
they have been actuated by one motive
a desire to retnrn to their allegiance to
the United States for one eud a resto. a
tion ?f affairs to the happv condition
they were in the year 1861. before, mad
ness had filled the {brains of the people,
and all reason was lost in the seethiug
whirlpool of intestine war We hear but
the one sentiment uttered; it comes
from an honost, though a sorrowed and
poverty-stricken people, yet it is loyal
and fnll of promise to the futnre of the
American Republic as if it rang from the
load trumpet tongue of trinmph
The telegaph has told as a great deal
about the sickness of Gov. Brougb, of
Ohio, without stating what ailed him ?
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
Mcrcial says :
Some two weeka since the Governor
was seized with a terrible congestive
chill, daring which himself and attend
ants believed he wan dying, bat be sub
sequently rallied An examination
showed that the dark spots indicating
gangrene of the footbad again appeared,
and the case seemed indeed hopeless Af
ter consultation Dr. Barr placed the pa
tient under the influence of chloroform,
and made several deep incisions of tLe
knife, which resulted in arresting the
progress of the gangrene. The diseased
band has since entirely healed, and the
foot shows marked indications of return
iog soundness. Still, so grant it the
prostration of the patient, that all the
announcement^ be physician dare author
ice is that,, with no further relapse, hie
is not without hope.
