March ID. F.. FEATIIERSTON. i)OMISM’3t€L Prom. the New 1 ora Pouting Post. Oil tue 15th i eumaiy, Mr. \ erplaack, from the select ConiantUe to watch tiie subject had beta referred inode li.e lot low mo report: The select committee for the purpose of inquiring mto tile expediency ol .stati- Itslung assay oibccs within the gold district of -North aud South Carolina and Georgia, report:— The discovers, vvnkm the few last years, of a large tract oi gold mutes, per vading an extensive d.str.ct m the states of -North Carolina, South Carolina, aud Georgia, is a subject of great interest. The reports, surveys, and other luiurma tioii, procured by tins committer, show that the high expectation which has been formed of the extent and riches of these mines is continued by daily experience mul muic accurate examination; so that it is evident that their product must become more and more abundant, aud cau not but have a material influence upon the wealth, arts, commerce and currency of the whole Union. Since the year 1825, when the first native gold of this country was coined at the Umtd States’ Mint, there has been a rapid but regular increase of bullion from the same mines ofi'ered for coinage, until, during the last year, four fifths of the whole gold coinage of our mint was from native gold. The extension of tlie buil dings, ami improvements of tha machine ry of the Mint, at Philadelphia, authoriz ed by the appropriations of 1029 and 1831), have now given great additional power aud facility to hs operations; and it is, besides, obvious that, should such an alteration be made in the legal propor tional valtie of our gold and silver coin age, as to make it correspond more near ly to the average proportional market value of the two metals, the demand for gold bullion and the amont of gold coin age at our mint must mcrease with great rapidity. In addition to the native gold thus coined within the last four years, a large supply* of gold used m the arts and man ufactures of the country comes from this quarter; aud the committee are also in formed that there is, besides, a consider able amount of gold, in bullion or under private stamps, circulating as a sort ol imperfect currency in the states in winch the gold is found. From these circumstances, the atten tion of many citizens of those states nas been for some time turned to the estab lishment of one or more public assay odices, to ascertain, aud attest, by stamps or otherwise, that value and degree oi' purity of gold bullion, so as to give great er security and facility to all tlie workers of gold mines, aud the buyers aud sellers, aud receivers of bullion, and thus stimu late the enterprise and industry of all em ployed in the business, and increase its value to them and to the country. Asa large proportion of this gold, then, is ultimately destined for tiie U. States’ Mint, which will probably here after mainly depend upon this source for its regular supply; as it is believed to be of importance to the best interest ol the nation to take advantage of every cir cumstance, which, without arbitrary legislative interference, may augment the proportion of metalic currency em ployed in its exchanges; and as bullion itself, when the value is so regulated and attested as to ensure public confidence, may lie useful here, as it is in other commercial countries, some times as a part of the currency, and more largely as the basis and security of bank paper; it has appeared to the committe that the establishment, by the U. States, oi one or more assay offices within the southern gold districts, (as proposed in the Le gislature of North Carolina,) under the direction of the Mint, while it would prove highly advantageous to the industy engaged in those mines, and would al so give steadier supplies and greater regu larity to the operations of the Mint, and both directly and indirectly tend to the great constitutional objects of the coinage of money, and the regulation of currency. The committee have accordingly pre pared a bill for this purpose, which is herewith reported. The papers appended to this report have been selected from the most of communications in possession of the com mittee, aud are believed to contain in the shortest compass the information on this subject which can be most relied on. Among the documents annexed to Mr. Verplanck’s report is a report from Samuel Moore, of the operation of the Mint for the last year, dated January 1, 1831. From this document it appears that the whole amount of coinage effect ed within the year 1830 was $3,155,620 comprising $643,105 in gold coins, $17,115 in copper and the rest in silver. A report of a committee of the Legis lature of North Carolina, on the subject of establishing a mint in that state is also a mong the papers in this appendix. It ur ges that North Carolina has now become a mining state—or in other words, that this occupation has engrossed a large part of her capital, and furnishes no small proportion of her products. The business of mining, the committee ursre, has this advantage over that of the cot ton planter, the rice planter, and the sugar planter, these latter occupations are culti vated with little or nopront, except n h, re from proximity of rivers or uuheahhfut ness ot climate, white labour is out of tlie question; while, on the contrary, the ope rations of mumig m the mountain dis tricts oflVorth Carolina not only aiford a profitable employment for any number of ■'laves, but hold out high rewards and a healthful occupation for any excess of tree population. The committee suppose that it is owing to the mines that the bills of the North Carolina banks, which three years ago were at eight per cent discount, are now at par. In tlie meantime, how ever, that state is prevented by the pro visions of the constitution from making the most of this source of wealth. Nei ther the state nor any of its individuals can reduce the product of the mines to coinage. The value of the gold from dif ferent mines is also various, and from want of the means of detection, which I would be furnished by an assay officer, a dulteration has become so common that 1 gold bullion has for some time ceased to be considered as money. In all cases the bullion must be sent to Philadelphia, and remittances waited for, which re quires often six months, aud seldom less than four. They therefore urge that a branch of the United States Mint, ought] to be established in North Carolina, to obviate these manifest inconveniences. The North Carolina committee, in or der to show the importance of the mining interest to the country, dwell upon the decrease of the annual supply of gold and silver, and tlie increased value of the pre cious metals. —To show tlie existence of this increased value, some statements drawn from various sources are made. By these it appears that the annual sup ply of gold and silver, which before tlie year 1810 amounted to $5-1,980,000 is now but $23,980,000, making a decrease of thirty-one millions. This annual de ficiency takes place in the product of the mines of Spanish America, which previ ously to 1820 furnished forty-seven mill ions of dollars annually, and now' furnish but fifteen millions. The annual product of the African mines, and those of the In dian Archipelago, remain ‘he same while the mines ofEurope aud Asia are estimated to yield annually a million of dollars more than formerly. Besides this tlecrease of supply, the additional de mand for gold and silver since 1810, ari sing from the increased consumption, is to be taken into the account. The number pnlil mirl silver wntnkps manufactured in France in 1789 was two hundred thou sand. The duties collected on wrought gold and silver in England had risen, ac cording to Mr. Huskisson, from less than five thousand pounds in 1824 to 105,000 in 1828, “a rise more than twenty fold not withstanding the diminished supply from the mines, and the constantly increasing value of the precious, metals." The fol lowing is a statement of the encroach ments which the consumption of gold and silver has made upon the currency of the world between the years of 1810 and 1830. The supply for these nineteen years is estimated at 23,980,000 annually, making an aggregate of 455,989,000. Taking the metallic currency of the world at 3,- 000,000 of dollars, and estimating tlie wear and tear, recoining, loss by shipreck at 2 p. mille annually, it would in 19 years amount to $114,000,000 The increase of the absolute quantity which has become requisite since 1810, esti mating at 6 per cent. 180,000,000 The chasm in circulation oc casioned by withdrawing of paper money since 1815, and since filled up by gold and silver coin, 300,000,000 And finally, tlie consumption of the precious metals by artificers, &c. at 30,000,000 dollars annually, amounts in nineteen years to 570,000,000 Total demand since 1810, 1,164,000,000 Deduct supply for mines, 455,620,000 The deficiency appears to have been 708,3S0,00() A considerable portion of the Ap pendix related to the quality, the con dition and anuual product of the mines in North-Carolina and the neighlioring states. A letter from the Hon. Charles Fisher to the chairman of the commit tee from which this report comes, con tains a good deal of information in re lation to the North-Carolina mines. It is now about twenty years since gold was discovered in that state, dissemin ated in the sands and gravel of water courses. It was not, however, until a hout five years ago, and that the gold mines , properD speaking, were found, that is, gold in regular anti well defin ed veins. This was owing to accident of which the following is an account. Mathias Barringer, of Montgomery county, while washing the sand and grav el of a small rivulet for gold, noticed, that, beyond a certain point, in ascend ing the stream, he could find no gold. Inst, at the point where the golrfseem ed to cease, he discovered a quartz vein running mto the hill on one side of the channel, ami at ritrht angles wiffi the rividet. Having frequently taken up out of the bed of the stream pieces Vf>Lu I.- YO. of quartz with bits of gold attached to them, he came to the conclusion that the gold found scattered below „ „st have come out of this quartz vein; and he determined to pursfie it into the hill. He pursued it but a few feet, when he struck a rich and beautiiul deposite of the metal, in place, in a matrix of quartz and subsequently in the carbonate of lime. Iu following this vein about thir ty or forty feet longitudinally, and more than fifteen or eighteen ft et in depth, he found a succession of nests from which he took out more than fiitteen thousand penny weights of virgin gold. Shortly after this the mine fell into other hands; since when serious opera tons have not been resumed on ac count of the water, though it is under stood they shortly will be. Barringer’s success was the indi.ce ment toother researches and discoveries. Other mines were discovered in Mtck lenburgh county, and the operations of milling having lieeti commenced here ear liest, more capital lias men invested, ffie system has been brought to greater n g ularny and perfection, and the results have been greater in proportion. Veins of gold were soon afterwards discovered in Guilford county Cabarros, and 1 m coln. about a year am! a half since sm ilar discoveries were made in Davidson; within u few months veins have Ixei o pened in Randolph county ; and the gold region is continually extending. As to the quantity of gold tound du ring the year past in North-Carolma, Mr. Fisher declines even conjecturing. f l ne product, however, is considerable and increasing. A small part ot it only reaches the mint, and therefore the stat< - incuts oi that establishment form no cri terion. Much of it is used in making jewelry and gold leaf. As to the durability of the mines, it ap pears that not a single shaft in that coun try has yet been carried down to the depth oi 190 feet. As far as they art carried, however, they not only retain their first Size, but in many cases become lar ger, and more often than otherwise im prove in richness. It is to be reeolleeted that in Mexico, Saxony, and otln r mir ing districts, veins have been successfully followed downwards more than 2,5U0 feet. The opening of the mines has bad some good effects, and some bad Oi es.— It has bettered the condition ot the far mers who have attended their cw n Kusi. ...kj. .» x.w. -..nsH mniiT ulm have engaged in mining without eon j. cut knowledge. The general effect, bovev er, according to Mr. Fisher, has l.«eii favorable, in the impulse it has given to business off very kind. A paper from A. Blanding, in relation to the gold mines in North and South Car olina, in the month of October hist, at $50,000, making an annual product of six hundred thousand dollars. New works are erecting, new mines are open ing, the process of extraction is improve iug, and the writer says that there ex sts no doubt among those best acquanted with the subject that in anotht r year the annual product of gold in North and South Carolina will exceed two millions of dollars. A letter from James Blair, of South Carolina, states the opinion of th< wrt* ter to be, that the quantity of gold annu ally found in his state is much less th <n that found in North Carolina, and im th greater than that ionnd in Giorg,.—- The Georgia mines were rot discov ered until 1829. There is, however, re cording to a letter from Col. 8. 11. Wales, every appearance of their having been worked before, as implements evi dently intended for that purpose have been found from two to three leet be low the surface.—The Georgia gold is remarkable for its extraordinary fineness. This has given rise to a dexterous spec ulation among gold buyers; they pur chase North Carolina gold, and sell it for gold taken out of the Georgia mines. Mexico.— —The New Orleans Her of February, 28, mentions the arrval at that port from Tampico; on the 27tb Februa ry of the Scrs. Emperor and Preto. Pa pers of a late date were received by them from Mexico. The most important raws which they furnish, is the announcement by a despatch from the Alcade of Huatul co, by the commandant of departin' nt of Ejutla, of the almost total defeat of Guer rero’s party, and the capture of that ch.ef tain. It seems he was taken at Acapul co, on the South Sea, and conveyed thence to Huatulco in the brig Colombo. The despatch is dated on the 24rh of Ja nuary, and states that the brig arrived on the 20t8. It was transmitted by the commandant of E jutla to the Governor of Ojaca, and by him forwarded to the Min ister. Guerrero left Huatulco on the 26th for Ojaca, guarded by stong escort. From thence lie will doubtless be conduc ted to Mexico, where the judgment of a council of war will speedily decide his fate.
