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. Situation Wanted.
