per. At the time the mine was wárked, the State-of
Chihuahua was coining a great deal óf copper cur-
rent, for which they paid a high price, and fur which
purpoee the copper from this ore, from its purity was
suited, and supplied the mint. Aa em-
neoos impression exists that the gold, said to be oon-
tainad in the oopper, paid for its transportation to the

gold is not separated from the copper in that citv.-
Ort examination of soma oepper found about the fur-

The Louisville Journal states that attempts have
been made in that city to persuade 6^#, some of
them not inore thon sixteen years old, to enlist in
an expedition s^aiast Cuba, under promises that they
would l>e provided with every thing mcessary for their
eomfort, and on their arrival receive 13090. We pub-
lish, among others, to-day, tba letter of young BranáH
a youth of sixteen, who went from Hew Orleans with
Lopec, and was shot. It is said that be died beting
that some might be sent to him whw> could «peak the
Kngliah language. We aattnot express strongly
enough our abhorrence of the plan of taking hoys into
a desperate enterprise of this ohttraeter.
Col. Prscav, tha distinguished Hungarian exile
who has spent the summer on Galveston Island, is
the officer engaged in the Cuban expedition, and
whose name is given as Paraguay. Ilis bearing,
while here, was that of a polished gentleman. We
tr hi* services hi behalf of Olha will prove even
more unfortunate than thosein I
