ogether with Kansas and the boundless regions of the far West. The California railroad, which will have its eastern terminus at St. Louis, will give us a fair chance for the trade of California itself and of China and the East Indies through San Francisco. The communication of the Ohio with the Mississippi will give the canal a fair sweep at the whole cotton region of the Mississippi, the Red river and Texas. We will thus be placed in a condition to contest the palm of commerce with the othe ports. Such are Urbana, on the Rappahannock, and York, on the river of the same name. The importance of Norfolk, however, is so transcended as to throw all others in the shade. It is, we have always heard, with the exception of Havana and San Francisco, the finest and most capacious harbor on the Continent of North America, or in any of its islands. We are by no means satisfied that the improvements of Virginia ought not to have all converged to that point, and had in view the establishmen

He adds: "My family and private interests both incline me to retire to private life as soon as an election can be held. I will cheerfully give up the Presidency, which has proved to me such a weighty burden." New York letters from Matamoras to the 26th November state that, in every

Wonderful story of the Yield of the Idaho mines. [from a private letter to San Francisco.] Oro Fino, October 3, 1865. Dear Sir, --A party that were prospecting on the War Eagle Mountain, about one mile south of the Oro Fino, found one of the richest gold and silver ledges ever found anywhere; or, as they say, it is richer than anything we read of in the history of mines. The new discovery is from one to three feet wide. The company have taken from one to five tons of the ore to the Sinker mill. The five tons yielded over one ton of bullion. A man that stops in the house with me got four pounds of the rock and crushed it. He got eighteen ounces of dust after retorting. They get blocks of native silver as large as candle boxes, and hammer it out like a wagon tire, and leave it all shining with free gold. There is another discovery on the same mountain of a gold bearing ledge four feet wide; they have taken out two pans of decomposed quartz twelve feet down, and wa
