FstrGeoloejical Suucture First Uisooveries of Tin Characteristics of the Tin Region. 6B0LO0ICAL 8TSDCTUBB. ' ' "' In Southeastern ilissouri, embracing the eounties of Iron, Bey nolds and Madison,1 is a teries of crystalline Toeks which : were erupted, consolidated - and abraded before'the dawn of the Silurian epoch. They consist of .porphyries, granites and quartsites, together with vast deposits of specular and magnetic oxide of iron. There is a remarkable absence of the chlorite and taleoae slates, and if we-except the quartsites of other rocks which show distinct lines of beiding, In the pre-existing depressions of this primeval rrmt w&a daooaitad the lower maameaiari limeatoif ei"l the great lead-bearing rock of Idissouri, some- seven hundred feet in thickness, which, slighly metamorphosed in character and slightly disturbed in stratification, eavelepea these Crystalline masses',' the waters of the 8t- Lawrence envelope The Thousand Islands. ; j j ,. ;jr -r.Tt If the country were stripped of its detrital covering and the observer were sufficiently elevated to command a bird's-eye view of -its surface, he could Joust a thousand of these crystalline islets rising through the magnesian limestone in the depths of this old Silurian ocean. They constitute the culminating points of the region, attaining an' elevation of more thaa a thoueaadeet above the Hiasisaippi river, whose course is about fiUy miles, to the eastward. These Azoic rocks are the repository of the tin-stone. '; . rrasT BiacovKEisa or tu. . , -(. Although for yeers there bare been vague rumors of the existence of tin in this region, yet Dr. Albert C. Koch a name connected with some of the most brilliant discoveries in American Palaeontology belongs the meri'i of first having discovered the ores of tin on the surface, and of having subsequently traced them to a well defined system of veins.'' He commenced bis explorations as far bask as ISO I j but as this was debatable ground during tbe great rebellion, having been repeatedly swept over by the opposing forces, he was compelled to suspend operations nutil the present year. Bytha aid of A. O. Zane,'' Esq.fof St. Louis, he was furnished with means to resume his operations, which were attended with many difficulties by reason of a detrital covering' of clay, for the' most part concealing the rocks ; yet he has succeeded in laying bare within the area of a square mile not less thaa 1 3 lodes, which afforded me in each instance undor the blow-pipe distinct traces of in. . This area rmbr&ces parts of sections 4.4 and 15, in township 33 north, range 9 east, In Madison county.' 4 -'-' As the statement as to the existence of tin was receive 1 for the most part with extreme distrust,, and ia soma iustances with utter incredulity, I felt unwilling to publish my opinion without first subjecting the gangues to the severest crucial experiments!' I accordingly passed a portion of them over to my esteemed friend Ur. xsianey, rroressor or Unemistry in taqnusn Medical College, who, although thus far confining bis aualy sis to two specimens, has found that they answer to all of the reactions of tin, leaving behind a. residium of silver. , lie baa not gone into a quantotive , analysis, but will Jo so as soon as other engagements , peru.it. -'""-i I he veinstones, so far s examined by me, do not exhibit the oxide of tin in a crystaline form, but the metal is finely diffused. ; I have, however, in my possession a specimen obtained a few miles 'distant, where "the crystals are " of regular form and of a splendid lustre, diffused through a gangue of calc spar and laumonite. One might search fbr a day' through tbe mines of -Cornwall or Zinnwald without finding a more beautiful cabinet specimen. This is a sample of a considerable quantity that was thrown out of aa excavation sixiyeasa ago, and which ex cited some neighborhood discussion ; some asserting that it was cobalt, others that it was magnetic oxide of iron, but, finally, all concurred that it was an ore of no eoonimtcal value. ' Of the existence of tie, therefore, in Missouri, there can be no doubt. - , . . i: -- 0 CHACTXRISTICS OF 1KB TIM BEOI0N. f, , .Ficture to yourself a valley about a mile in width, hemmed in by ridges of quartzite and porphyry, with an isolated dome, symmetrical m form, rising about midway between the two walU, , with two email streams eircliog its base, and you have the main fea tures of what has been christened Tin Valley. The intervening space is almost everywhere covered by a yellowish clay, which, when penetrated to the depth of two or three feet, is foaad to rest en a mass of decomposed granite. . - , . . There ate three well marked groups of roeks " in this region which deserve to be minutely described, as their analogues are to be found in other atanniflerocs regions. - .. i .; 1. Porphyry There are long lines of porpbyritie rocks, particularly observable at the Iron Mountain, which traverse tbe country fn the form ef immense dykes.- Of cv firm textnrr, and having had the power to resist alike tbe abrasion of the draft currents and the weathering of atmospheric agents, they, have been left in sharp and well defined ridges. Tbe color of the porphyry k of a reddish brown, the texture close, had in composition it ia feldspaihtc rather than homblendie. t . .... , A . :, 2. Quartsite This ia a very bard close grained rock ef a dark gray color, and traversed by two or three distinct flyasems of cleavage, so that H readily breaks into furms of great regalerUy. s It is seen ia the base of Pilot Knob, and far two-thirds of the distance up its summit, 'exhibiting dmtinct lines of bedding, and like the porpBrty,'it forme abrupt domes aad ridges. J.Geedi ?AeseretaPPBr i a deeempi state, and a decomposition sxteads to the greatest depth thus far penetrated one shaft having reaehed to tbe depth of twenty-five feet. ' : Having no power to resist decompositioa or abrasion, they are found

with drift-clay. 1 So Car as observed, they are the peculiar repositories of the tin-stone. '? So thorough bss Jbeen the decomposition that, while it retains its coherence, it amy be shoveled like sand, or 'crushed nnder he hammer into coarse grains, and when It is pulverand washed the residum gives traces of tin. - . . S SYSTHCS OF VEINS. , , It u impossibl in the present state of the explorations to determine the different systems of reins, their relative agVW area with precision their direction, much less the ejects' of the passage of the elvans or porpbyritie dykes through the granites. Even in Cornwall, where tbe tin mines have been worked from the earliest historical period, and where the surface has been penetrated to the depth of two thousand -.feet, and with all the accumulated experience ot thousands of miners, the intricacies of that region are yet unraveled." What I offer, then, as to the metalliferous lodes of this region, I submit with extreme distrust, confident that my views must be greatly modified by , subsequent explorations. '''' n ;u a ? . There is this notable fact which at once strikes the observer, that there has been a displacement of the "veins in a longitudinal direction, cutting off their continuity to be resumed, however, when the" amount n.il! l ; I . i - . fr-. i

I Ok uut aupucenwii on oeen aoierminea. idh there Will be found all of the phenomena of fractures, displacements, cross-courses elvan-courses, crossflucans, and slides, I doubt not ; but the facts thus fsr developed will not allow of their intelligible dis cussion. . - ' -. s . . . . . . ' j Thus far, the ores of tin have been found in twelve distinct veins.' Observations ss to their direction, where they are uncovered only for a few' lineal feet, re, of course, unreliable, and such observations when platted exhibit no marked parallelism. There appears, however, to be at least two systems, one bear- ' ing northwest , and, southeast, : and , another bearing northeast and southwest. There are indications of . two other systems, one bearing a few degrees east of north, intersected by another system at nearly right angles, j , ; J ' : - ; . "' These lodes are true veins, being vertical fissures of indefinite length and depth, and filled with agan- ; gue differing from the wall-rock.--- ? - - ' : . This wall-rock, wherever observed, consists of the J J . :a -I-- : 1 Vein-stones, being of si less perishable matei ial, stand i out in what Cornishmen call "combs." - 'i I VEINSTONES. The reinstones may be classified under two heads : 1, Feldspar, often decomposed into kaolin, and some times feldspar and quartz. 2. Sepentine, sometimes ! with long filaments of asbestus. The vein.'! vary in ; width from six inches to four feet. -;. i , The tin-stone is not aggregated in crystals, but like that of Cornwall is minutely dispersed through the L'gsngue, and under a strong magnifier appears as a ''brownish red delineation on the white ground of the j feldspar ; and, hence, it is required that the gangue be , reduced to an impalpable powder, that the met lie particles may all be liberated from the stony mass. The 1 density of tin-stone (6.9) is such that the waste in ' washing is much less than that of ordinary metals. . Besides unlike gold 'or native copper, which comes out in scales and floats upon the water, tin-stone maintains its granular form, so that its richness may - hm hrono-ht. hv wiahino-'and dressinir. nr in siitT-six and even Seventy per cent. ; and this manipulation is accomplished in Cornwall on ores which yield but two and three per cent. , K. I.'-" V " AM. ..... . ... ' Over the whole of this tract, wherever the vegetation is removed, in every road, in every yard tramped by cattle, in every rill descending from the hill-side, is to be seen a black glistening sand, so abundant that it .may be scraped up from the surface. - From twenty- " five to twenty per cent, of this sand is magnetic oxide jOf iron, which may be removed by the magnet, but j the residue consists of peroxide of iron, oxides of tin .and silver in a form which has not been determined. . This sand is the debris of the subjacent rocks which 'nature has pulverized and washed; and it is not im- . probable that, when tested on a larger scale, those ; rarer metals-platinum, iridium and osmium will be , found. Some of the reactions indicate the presence of gold, a metal which is known to exist in this vi-;-cinity. ' " " " " ,-; ' 5 ECONOMICAL BESULTS. The black sand can be be collected in large quantities and profitably reduced ; but as yet no quantative t analysis of any of the vein-stones has been made, , and therefore I withhold an expression of opinion as to fheir richness. The specific gravity of - tin is so great that a lean one can be profitably washed up to a nearly pure per centage." A system of well defined - veins,' such as here exist, will justify the investment of capital to their thorough exploration.: So far as exposed, tbe vein-stones, as -well as the enclosing ' walls, sre in a state of decomposition, which, when sunk upon to the depth of two or thiee hundred feet may be found to be enriched. - " 1 Hon. Edwin M. Stanton. The Cincinnati Times, gives the following deserved tribute to the suspended Secretary of War ; ..; Mr. Stanton is governed by no selfish considerations' in holding on lo the office. ''But for the peculiar posture of affairs ever since Mr. Johnson turned his back upon the loyal party that elevated him to the Vice Presidency, Mr. Stanton would have long since gone into retirement, a I r' i ' ; i During the war his work was enough to kill several ordinary men, and on the close of the contest there was nothing he so much desired as rest. Accordingly, a few days btfore the Rebels rejoiced in the death of Mr. Lincoln by assassination, Mr. Stanton Bent to the President his letter of resignation, paying a beautiful tribute to Mr. Lincoln's constant friendship and patriotic devotion to his country, saying he had accepted the position with the intention of resigning it on the conclusion of the war, and as now . t that his work done his duty was to resign. Mr. Lincoln tore the letter to pieces, and throwing his arms around the Secretary, saidi "STANTON, YOU HAVE BEEX A GOOD FKIEND AND A FAITHFUL SERVANT, AND IT IS NOT FOR YOU I'O SAY WHEN YOU WILL NOT BE NEEDED HERE." ; 'Such is the indorsement which Stanton received from one who knew the most about him, and whose iusight of the. motives of men thwarted the treacherous hosts of the North, and saved the Republic. The scene at the White House, 4rhen Stanton attempted to resign, was one of the most eloquent of the whole epoch, and iu remembcrance of that tribute to his services he had held on to the present hour, finding that as much as ever his country has needed his services, and it is not for him to say when it shall not need them.' The whole loyal people have told him toremain, and remain he will, if there is vigor enough in the law and virtue enough in the Supreme Court to defend him in his position. The following is Grant's letter to Secretary Stanton, on accepting the place of Secretary of War, ad interim : " Hkadq'bs Armies or the United States, r , Washingtoj. D. C, August 12, 1867. " Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War : " Sib Inclosed herewith I hare to tiansmit to yon a coppy of a letter just received from the President of the United States, notifying me of. my assignment as acting Secretary of War, and directing me to assume tbe duties at In notifying you of my acceptance, 1 can .not let the opportunity pass without expressing to you my appreciation of tbe seal, patriotism. firmness and ability with which you have ever .difchanred the dutr of Seeratarv of War.

fj In Mr. Fierrepont'8 extremely interesting , speech iatbe Sarratt trial, he tells a story which will interest the students of spiritual science. On the mor

ning of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln there- was" aCabinet meeting. The members of the Administration were joyous orer- the -surrender -of Lee. Mr. Lincoln expressed anxiety about Sher. manand when Grant assured Lim that Sherman was air right, he replied by detailing a dream which he had had previous to 1 Chancellors ville, " Stone " River, and other defeats. ; The recurrence of the dream led him to dread the recurrence of disaster.7 " It'came; but,' instead of calamity to our armies, it was his own assassination. The supernatural warnings that came to ' Saul, and Pompey, and Ctesar, seem 'to have also come to Lincoln. Truly, there are more things in heaven arid earth than are dreampt of j in onr philosophy. ij . j Jesse Dl Bright. . , The' following paragraph1 will show the animus of the recent speech of Jesse D. Dright, delivered in Kentucky. As but one Democratic paper in this State has taken issue with Mr. Bright, and as the leaders of that party io Indiana are in1 sympathy with that gentleman's political principles, we1 quote: " " He denounced Mr. Lincoln; Douglas and - Andy Johnson' in "the most bitter terms ; 'said that the Democratic Senators from the South did wrong in vacating their seats at the beginning of the war ; said Mr.'Lincoln had no power under the Constitution toall out any troops ; was opposed to the public debt; that Kentucky ought not to pay another dollar until her Representatives were admitted, and that if the South ever regained her rights ' it would ' be by the sword ; and said if that was treason, the Government might make the most of it; was in favor of returning every slave to his original master ; was in favor of a law in Kentucky that every one who lost anything in "Kentucky during the war, or by the war, should be paid and that the General Government should refund it to Kentucky." esrsmw 00 sm . vTT e . rf- t m abb oahuekfsst. uue or me great- j est entertainments ever given to the people of this country will commence at Indianopolis on the 22d of September, and continue several days.

How a Traitor Acts. A French paper, La Liberie, gives the following incident in the career of the betrayer of Masimillian, of Mexico : , , Lopez one day fell into an . ambush of the , enemy. He at once commanded a retreat, during which his horse was shot from under him. One of his men then took his Colonel up behind him, but the man's horse, proving unable to carry the double weight, slacked his speed. Lopez, perceiving that they must both be captured drew a pistol from his belt, shot his preserver through the head rolled, him out of the saddle, and escaped alone. f . The Pacific Railroad bridge across the Mississippi at Minneapolis, has been repaired in a tempoary manner, and trains are running across it. . '- : -.(; The St. Paul papers advertise for six hundred hands to' be immediately employed on the St. Paul fc Wiona Branch of the St. Paul & Pacific Railway. The St. Paul papers 'speak of considerable damage to the wheat crop in the southern part of the State, by the excessively hot weather which' has dried up the grain' and produced blight. Some fi elds are said to be almost worthless. It is believed, however, that the injury is. mainly confined 'to ; low and valley lands, and that the upland wheat, while it may not yield so abundantly as has been hoped, will at least prove to be a fair crop. ; ; , . The Anoka Prest says that a man there sowed a field of wheat, and harvested therefrom a good crop of rye. He says there was not any rye in the wheat that he sowed, when the harvesting time came he had nothing but rye. The St. Louis Republican says : "Stanton will find1 no sympathy, except in a class of persons who are in debt to him for favors." a ; The Democrat replies: "Very true, for the whole country is in debt to him for favors greater than have been rendered by any other living man." ' It is stated by the President's Washington organs "that General . Pope and General Howard are both to be removed, and that General Gordon Granger is to be made' chief of the Freedmen's Bu reau.: General Grant has several times. since the Philadelphia Convention, or dered .General Granger to duty with his regiment, but the President has counter-; manded the order, keeping him at Washington to do his dirty work.

K The Plum Creek Massacre, 4 The Missouri Hemocrat, give ft thrilling account of this massacre, by the Indians on Tuesday night, Aug. 6tb, from which we take tbe following extract,' from the statement of William Thompson, a'nattve-'of ?gland1-andVone (of the telegraph repairers, whom the- Indi

ans scalped ha vincr been shot-in the arm, arid cut in the neck : k J3- s?i r " About nine o'clock, Tuesday night, myself and five others left PlumrCreek' station, and started up the traction a hand car, to hunt up where the treak iri the telegraph was." When we came to .-. ...... , , T ... -i where the break proved to.be, we? saw a lot of ties piled up on the track, but at the same moment Indians jumped up from the grass all around and 'fired on us. We fired two or three 'shots1 iri r"eturn, and then, as the Indians pressed on us, we- ran away. Ah! Indiar?on a pony tingled me out, and galloped up to me. " After coming to withiri ten feet of me he fired, the bullet entering my right arm; seeing me still run, he 'clubbed his rifle, and knocked me down He then took out his knife, stabbed' me in the neck, and then making a twirl around his fingers with my hair, he commenced sawing and hacking away at my scalp. Though the pain was awful, and I felt dizzy and sick, T knew enough' to 1 keep quiet." After wtiat seemed to be half an hour he gave the last finishing cut to the scalp on my left temple, and as it still hung a little, he gave: it a jerk.2 I just thought then I could have screamed my life out." I can't describe "it-to you. It just felt as if- the whole head "was taken right oftV"' The Indian then mounted and galloped away but as he " went he dropped my scalp within a few feet of me, which I managed to get and. hide. The Indians were thick in theT vicinity, or I then might have made my escape. "While lying down I could hear the Indians moving around whispering to each other, and then shortly after placing obstructions on the track. After lying down about an hour and a half I heard the low rumbling the train as it came tearing along, and I might have ' been able to flag it off had I dared." The engineer and fireman were shot and scalped but before the Indians burnt the train they plundered the box cars of everything that might prove' of the least value, or what attracted their fickle fancy bales oifrcalicoes, cottons, boxes of tobacco, sacks of flour, sugar, coffee, boots, shoes, bonnets;' hats, saddle?, ribbonsand velvets. - They decorated their persons by the bonfire which they made of the boxes already plundered ; their ponies ' were caparisoned with gaudy pieces of' muslin, and their tails were adorned with ribons of variegated colors. The scalp-locks of the Indians were adorned in the same manner," while hanging over their shoulders were rich pieces of velvet-' j Some of them came across a, barrel of old Bourbon whisky. . Quickly,they stove the head and quickly they quaffed huge draughts of the fire-water, .which set their brain on fire and rendered them delirious. A violent war song was chanted while they were thus inebriated, with furious gesticulations in honor? of the victory achieved over the pale-faces. At daybreak they set fire to the,; wreck, taking fire from the furnace and throw ing it in the box cars, and .while the flames reared and crackled as the wind came on, and reared themselves into pyramids and tall spiral c olumns, the Indians danced and held high carnival. The dead bodies were thrown into, the fire, and a terrible y ell announced to the scalped and trembling man the fate of the engineer and fireman. Louder yelled the Indians, as the fire raged on in ts terrible work; andas the stench of . the human holocaust spread, it seemed to give an intense , satisfaction ,tq the tawney devils. ,,, , , ,r jThe Indians enjoyed themselves' until their work; ! was fully accomplished, and then left.' .

Pecke . and Moore, of this city, will endeavor to reset, the scalp on his head, and they are confident they can do it well. , As he is a strong man, it is expected that he will recover health and strength. ,. " From Chas. Ratcliffe, a supernumerary brakeman, who was in the caboose of the freight train when . the attack took place, we had the following:. . When the train ran off the track he was asleep on the bench in the . caboose, and was suddenly thrown to the floor by the concussion. At the same time he heard the yells of the Indians, and then a volley was fired upon the people in the caboose. t In the cars with him were Wm.. Kinney, conductor; Fredl Lewis, brakeman, and a man who had been a fireman. The locomotive was thrown off the track by ties placed on it, arid ran off about ten feet, when" it fell into a hollow about . four, feet ; then tender and five first cars were piled on top of one another asthe had beeri running at the rate of i twenty-five miles aii hour. Looking .out of the window of our car. they. could ,see the. Indians,, an v strong; force on the south side of the track. , shouting and yelling at somethirg at the; .feremost end probably the engirieer and fireman." They closed the door! but in a tew moments came out., ana ine

conductor told the brakeman to go and

flag :ff the train, which was coming about three miles behind. The brakeman replied, ,4I dare not, the Indians areall 'around here To" which- the conductor replied, "Go and flag off that train, she' 11. be Into jxb" StULlhe man hesitated, and the conductorrushed down, the track himself, and thejbrakeman, Lewis, andfthe fireman went after him"Batclifre bid himself on the track nnder the car. He had laid , there for five minutes when he saw an Indian cau tiously approaching, drawn thither by the light that still hung .in, the, caboose. Ratcliffe got down from, his hiding place, and struck for the sand bluffs with the speed of a stai tied deer. He heard some one rustling after him, the dry stalks of prairie grass crackling beneath his feet. t,Fear added wings, and he almost, flew, but still he could jhear,t the footsteps, pt the pursuer. He was still a mile off from the train, so he started directly toward it, and never, did Persian gaze npbn the sun with . a v more loving look than Ratcliffe, the pursued, looked upon the welcome face of the reflector. It was to him an . omen of safety,, the pledge of guidance, the face of a .deliverer. Onward he flew, : faster came, the pursuer. ,; Quicker throbbed, the, heart of the white , man. as looking back he saw two forms bounding,, after him, and high impetus, was given to ,4iis, limbs. Nearer came the engine; he could , see the engineer; heard the whistle of "down brakes;" .saw the forms 'of three men hurrying up to the locomotive; a few more bounds and he can hear their vol-' ces. . He now shouts out with '. a his power a welcome shout is returned One, two, three, and he is saved saved from perils nameless and fearless, and from a death agony. He was nearly wild with excitement,' and as the engine slowly started away, and then - increased its speed till the telegraph "poles wer flying past and the distance between the wreck and them was increasing, he laughed and cried by turns, shouted, danced, and committed all sorts of extravagances.

union:: I ! RAIL It O AD CO. jppjRST MORTGAGE BONDS As an Investment. Ths rapid progress of i&TJnioC Pacific Railroad, now building west' from Omaha, Nebraska, sat form "ngf witlr Itsweslsrn eoanecttnartmbrolm Uae across the continent, attracts wttettioa to the value . of the First Mortgage Bonds a btcb tbe Company now offer to the public. The first question asked by piudent investors is, "Are these bonds seeureT" Jfest, "Are they s profitable iu vsstment T " To repl y in brief: l,tm .' t .-;f ' ' ' 1st. The early completion- of the whole grest line to the Pacific is as certaia as any future business event can be. Tbe Government grant of over twenty million acres ot land aad fifty million dollars ia its ' own bonds practically guarantees it. Oa fourth of the wo:k is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day ,. ' 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds ars issued npon what promises to be owe of tbe most profitable lines of railroad is tbe country; - For many years it "must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific : and being without competition, it can .main' tain remunerative rates.' '', .- .rt: -..-s & - ;:" Ed. 425 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, Ac., and two trains are daily running eaA Way. ' The materials for the remaining 92 miles to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and it is under contract to be done in September. - " : 4th. Tbe net earnings of the sections already fin- , Ished are teveral timet greater thaa the gold interest 'Upon tbe First Mortgage Bonds npon socb sections, - and if not another mile of the' road were built, the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. 2 A 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad beads can be issa- , ed only as the road progresses, and therefore can ' never be in the market unless they represent a bona fdt property. r ' ;" "u . s;; 6th. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the IT. S. Govern ment, and for which it takes a teeond lien as its secu- -' rity. This amount upon tbe first 51 7 miles west from Omaha is only $16,000 per.miler' V ' ' , , 7th. The fact that the U. S. Govern nient considers a second lien upon the road a good inrestsoent, and ' that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of tbe ' country bare already paid In' five million dollars npon ; the stock (which is to them a third lien), may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 1 . . "r 1 " ' ; ! 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than" Governments, there are 1 -'' parties who consider a first , mortgage npon such ,. a property as this, the very best security in the world, oni) vIia sa.Y1 ihaS iTLrkww monra 4r M(nwAet in Ti ssn n a (iva w saw ia.sa euv a mvw Ka uwupa fw laibas is simw bonds- thus securing a greater interest. , , ; 9th. As the Union Pacific- Railroad bonds are offer ed for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and ae- . crued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 percent, less than U.
