122 Ole Wining and Scieutitic Breas.
ArreR Taz War tar Mixes.—This was the
policy of President Lincoln, and in keeping
with this we find our generals making reports
from the metalliferons districts, and disbanded
soldiers, Federal and Confederate, delving for
the metals, Inthe old gold districts of Virginia the scene of the battles between Lee and
his Federal opponents, there is a return to the
gold searchings of otherdays. More than two
million dollars of gold were obtained in the
past from Culpepper, Louisa, Goochland,
Orange, Spottsylvania, Fluvanna, Buckingham,
Prince Edward, and other and ueighboring
counties of Virginia, and since the Rebellion
closed hundreds of former Confederate soldiers
having engaged in washing the gold deposits.
It is stated that about two thousand of such
miners are now at work in Lonisa and GuochJand counties, and that the average is two pennyweights a day to each miner. Some of the
quartz is crushed with stone and iron mortars.
