The Gold Supply.
In a late number of the New Orleans Prices
Current, we find an interesting summary of the
receipts of gold at New York, from California,
for twelve years, from 1854 to 1865 inclusive,
as ascertained from the manifests and entries
of the vessels on which it was transported. In
] 854, the receipts were $43,583,116; in 1855,
$41,682,524; in 1856, $40,319,929; in 1857,
$34,222,904; in 1858, $36,179,844; in 1859,
$39,975,750; in 1860, $33,490,409; in 1861,
$44,370,557; in 1862, $24,882,646; in 1863,
$11,905,478; in 1864, $12,952,967; in 1865,
$20,564,895, making a grand total of $384,-
080,519. But we are told that the exports of
specie from this country during the last twelve
years have amounted to more than $440,000,000,
and the Price Current very reasonably sup
poses that the receipts from California have not
been altogether by water, but that much has
been brought overland, and stilly more by pri
vate hands, of which no proper estimate can
be made, enough to swell the grand total to
$550,000,000. From which deduct the amount
exported, $440,000,000, and we have “sllO,-
000,000 for unrecorded expenses and for con
sumption in the arts.”
It will be seen that there was a considerable
falling off after the year 1861, caused no doubt
by fear of the Confederate cruisers, and as it is
fair to infer that the production continued dur
ing these years with only a slight intermission,
the Price Current assumes that “the difference
between the amount recorded above, for the
last four years, and the returns for 1858 to 1861
inclusive, was made up by direct exports on
British bottoms. This would add $80,000,000 to
the amount used in the liquidation of the ad
verse balance of trade.”
The editor thinks that the production of gold
in this country will steadily increase for many
years to come, the exhaustion of some fields
being more than compensated for by the pro
duction from others newly discovered, or the
increased yield by improved machinery. But it
would be taking a very incorrect* view of the/
subject to suppose that the splendid results of
the past, or the still more brilliant prospects of
the future have been attained without a cor
responding expenditure of labor and capital.
If in developing the internal wealth of the
earth, the miner could at once discover the
exact locality from whence to bring forth the
hidden treasure, then mining would be attended
with certain results, and the miner’s labor
would never be fruitless. But the reverse is too
often—perhaps generally—the case. If all the
labor and capital absorbed in mining could be
ascertained, it would be found that it has yield
ed on the whole but a moderate remuneration
and by no means an extravagant rate of in
terest.
Errors in relation to this subject constantly
appear in the speculations of writers for the
press, who anticipate an early liquidation of the
National debt from the gross returns of the im
mense gold fields of the West and the cotton
growing regions of the South. They seem to
forget that from these returns they must deduct
the cost, in labor, interest and rent, and that
the profit alone constitutes the real addition to
the nation’s v*ealth. To secure even a third of
our former yield of cotton requires the expendi
ture of a large amount of capital and the appli
cation of a corresponding force of labor. The
South has the lands, and a limited amount of
the necessary agricultural implements and
machinery. In addition to these it requires
ready cash, for the security of which it offers
to mortgage its real property, and suitable
labor, for which it is willing to pay liberal
wages. For the former it must depend, mainly,
on foreign capitalists; for the latter, on the
Freedmen’s Bureau, the action and authority of
which prevents the States from controlling the
laborers, whose labor is indispensable, as v ell
for their own benefit, as for the general wel
fare. Without labor there can be no produc
tion ; and the responsibility for the future suc
cess of the cotton culture, the Price Current
truthfully remarks, rests on those who, from
political causes, have the control of the labor
ers. It is otherwise in the gold-bearing West.
There the mines are worked by white labor,
which requires no other controlling power than
he stimulus of personal interest.
Cotton Estimates,
The New Orleans Price Current has received
from Messrs. Neill Bros. & Cos., their circular
for the fortnight ending January 15, in which
they speak of the probable Cotton supply up to
Ist of September next. The following para
graph gives the present state of the question:
In our Circular of 80th November, we showed
that the receipts at all porta, from the Ist of
May till date, summed up 1,000,000 bales, and
we estimated the quantity remaining in the in
terior at 960,000 bales. Since that date, the re
ceipts have amounted to 425,000 bales, (an aver
age of 60,000 weekly), making the total down
to the latest dates we have from each point,
1,525,000 bales ; and leaving upon an estimate
of 2,100,000 bales for the total supply, about
575,000 bales still to come forward. The fol
lowing details show how the account stands to
day:
Before Since Total
Ist Sept. Ist Sept, to date.
North and South Carolina.. 25,829 64,000 89,820
Georgia and Florida 24 340 152 000 176 240

To verify the above estimate it is requisite
that the receipts subsequent to the 15th of Jan
uary should amount to 575,000 bales: more
than 100,000 bales over the general estimate in
our cotton cities.

Cast Iron Nails.—Cast iron nails are now ex
tensively used, and are found to rust much less
rapidly under the influe nce 0 f e atmosphere
than ordinary nails, or even those made of cop
per. They are used especially for making roofs
for manufactories which produce gases that
corrode common wrought iron. The nails, af
ter being cast from very hot metal in sand
moulds, are rendered malleable by being ex
posed to a red heat for seventy-two hours in re
fractory retorts, containing pulverized oxide of
iron and sawdnst, and then allowed to cool
slowly.
Gold Beating.
A single grain of gold may be beaten by
a hammer so as to cover 75 square inches,
which would leave it less than the 350,000 th
part of an inch in thickness, or requiring
more than million sheets of the leaf to make
a pile three inches high. This would be
about the 1,200 th part of the thickness of
common printing paper, and is owing to the
extreme tenacity of gold. A pound ot gold
may be'drawn into a wire that would reach
around the globe. A silver wire, coated
with the thinnest wash of gold maybe drawn
out to an indefinite extent without breaking
the coating so much that a defect would be
discovered, even with a microscope. The
gold which is used for beating is very sight
ly alloyed with silver and copper, unless the
leaf is to be exposed to the weather, when
pure gold is used. It is first melted into an
ingot, long and narrow, which, on being cool
ed, is passed through polished steel rollers,
until it is reduced to a narrow ribbon about
one 800th of an inch in thickness. It then
passes into the hands of the beater. The
gold ribbon is cut into pieces of an inch
square, and 150 of these are placed between
as many sheets of vellum, alternately,
when the beater lays on with his heaviest
hammer, beating the pile about an hour,
first with one hand, then with another, shift
ing the hammer without any pause, and very
deftly turning the book over, or from side to
side, hetween the blows. By this time the
pieces of gold will have expanded to the size
of the vellum when they are taken out and
each one is cut again into four. They are
again placed within sheets of vellum,- thus
making a pile of 600 out of the original pieces,
which are belabored for another hour or more
with a hammer of less weight than the first.
The faces of all the hammers are slightly
convex; which causes the gold to spread.
When this beating is completed, the leaves
of gold are again subdivided by four, ma
king 2,400 in all, and are put into three par
cels of 800 each, the gold alternating with
the vellum, as before, and each parcel is sub
jected to another beating, more carefully ad
ministered, on account of the extreme thin
ness of the metal. The hammers decrease
in weight as the process goes on.
The beating lasts for five or six hours, at
the close of which the edges of the leaves,
which are quite uneven, are cut with a sharp
reed, as the gold adheres to a metal knife,
and the leaf, ready for use, is placed in the
books in which it is sold, each leaf of gold
being about three iuches square, and twen
ty-five making a hoik. They are very sel
dom torn or cracked.
The Tobacco Crops.
The crop of tobacco in the United States
amounted in to 222,088,319 pounds )
in 1850 to 199,743,793 pounds; in 1860 to
428,121,000 pounds ; for 1865 it was esti
mated to be 168,707,000 pounds. The crop
for 1865 is not equal to half that of 1860,
and does not equal the exports for 1865.
Massachusetts in 1860 produced 3,233,000
pounds, and will have done the same in 1865,
Connecticut in 1860, 6,000,000 pounds,
same for 1865; New York, 5,764,000 pounds
for 1860, and 6,000.000 for 1865 ; Penn
sylvania, 3,182,000 pounds for 1860, and

Virginia, 123,968,000 for 1860, and only
100,000 for 1865 : North Carolina, 32,853,-

essee, 38,931,000 for 1860, t 20,000,000 for
1865; Kentucky, 180,102,000 pounds in
1860, and 50,006,000 for 1865 ; Ohio, 25,-
129,000 pounds in 1860, 24,000,000 for
1865 ; Arkansas, 1,000,000 in 1860,20,000
for 1865; Georgia 919,000 pounds in 1860,
for 1865, 100,0U0 pounds.
Missouri, in 1860, 26,435,000 pounds, in
1865, 20,000,000; Illinois, 7,014,000 in
1860, and for 1865, 8,000,000 pounds; In
diana, 4,658,000 in 1860, and for 1865, 6,-
000,000 pounds; Florida, 758,000 pounds
in 1860, and 600,000 for 1865; Alabama,
221,000 in 1860, and 200,000 for 1865 ;
Mississippi, 128,000 in 1860, 100,000
pounds for 1865 ; Texas, 98,000 pounds iu
1860, and for 1865, 200,000 pounds: Lou
isiana, in 1860, 41,000 pounds, for 1865,
50,000 pounds.
It must be understood that the crop for
1865 is only an estimate. We have not men
tioned small amounts raised iu tli§ other
States.
An “ Oliver” for a “ Howland ”
The Pittsburgh Gazette warns President
Johnson that Congress has the power to im
peach him ! It ;s ai much to the purpoie
to remind Congress that Oliver Cromwell
was neither the first nor the last Executive
of a nation that sent a file of soldiers to clear
a hall intended for the deliberations of a
representative body, when its occupants, no
longer representing either the needs or wish
es of the people, had degenerated into a
pestilent nest of destructive demagogues!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it ! The
District of Columbia is not in the regions in
which the President has “ declared ” mar '
tial law to be at an end!— Freeman's Jour
The Freedmen’s Bill.
The N. Y. “ Sun ” thus sums up the Bill
which has passed the Senate and gone to
the House:
“ The practical effect of tjbe measure
would be simply to entail a hed.vy expense
upon the government—to increase the dis
content of the negroes; to give the ‘planters
more ground for grumbling; and to perpet
uate an institutino that has, taking every
thing into consideration, proved itself a na
tional nuisance.”

DELEGATES TO THE GENERAL CON
FERENCE.
The time for making the collection to de
fray the expenses of delegates to the Gene
ral Conference is drawing near. The service
being for the church, there can be no doubt
that the church is willing to pay the money,
if the opportunity be presented.
It is not probable that any charge will feel
able to give much for this purpose. It is,
therefore, the more necessary that the col
lection be general. We mention it thus
early to give opportunity to the preachers
to give notice of the collection, in all their
congregations. 4 W
