In some portions of this Nova Scotra granite the mica is peculiarly `great and can be easily taken out in large akes with a knife; while in other parts of the same rock both mica and feldspar is scarcely perceptible, the` entire mass .being formed chiey of quartz alone, . the crumbling away of the one forming a debris of nearly. pure quartz, the other l a slightly tinged but very coarse quartz sand, both again becoming formed into sub-straturns similar to those I have seen in California, where the riclrest deposits ' of gold were found. I cannot say, how- ever, that these of Nova Scotia are auriterous. This can only hetascertained by minutely examining them as they occur in detached masses. Another very important rock is the slate, alternately cropping otrt with the granite, and occu- pying no inconsiderable portion of the surface, the thickness of which I had no means of ascertaining; nor do I know that it has ever yet been conclusively ` determined. But there can be no doubt as to its overlaying or resting upon the granite. ]_t is in this state the gold- hearing quartz veins found at the ovens near Luuenhurg crop out. There is quite a number of them, and they may be divided into tliree classes--the main - leads dipping at a very high angle and running to the north and south; the cross veins to the east and west; while the third class move horizontally de- pressed, obliquely cuts or iutersectshoth. Now, it is at or near the junction of the first where the quartz is found to be the most richly impregnated with gold, some of which `I had the pleasure of examin- ing on the-ground, and must certainly say that it would favorably compare \\ ith any I ever saw.

"It was only ashnddering horror of the plunge, a vague and shapeless terror of the something after, fami- liar toevery creature who ponders (even in` the most frivolous spirit) upon Ham- let s solemn question; it was only dim fear and apprehension that saved this girl from the rash impulse of her sorrow- stricken heart. I know that she was alike wicked and "silly; I know that it mustbe ditcult to win sympathy for a grief so foolish, an anguish so self-eu- gendered ; but her sorrow was none the less real to her because it seems foolish inlthe eyes of wisdom. It was not so long since she had lain awake for many weary nights weeping for the death ofa petspaniel ; it was not so long since she had gone to bed sorrowful because the second volume of one of her favourite romances was unobtainable at the little Camberwell library.

IJuHuLU\V'llo Hood, finding the enemy southwest of him, at once abandoned Atlanta and gave Sherman battle. A contest began on Tuesday allernoan along the Mom- gomery railroad from Red Oak to East Point, :1 distance oi twelve miles. Slo- cum, who had been left with one corps in front of Atlanta, began to feel the enemy in front of him. He found" the city abandoned, and on Friday morning entered it. He at once announced the evacuation of the town, and by a strange coincidence Wheeler was off` the rail- road to Nashville just long enough to allow of the despatch being sent. Scarce- ly had it gone when Wheeler-again cut the telegraph, and a veil once more hid Shermau s operations. Slocum, having the enemy between him and Sherman s main body, could not tell what was go- ing on at East Point. He knew tl battle was being fought, for he heard the can- non, but that was ull. Up to Sunday morning this was all the intelligence sent us. i This morning, however, we have later intelligence. Last. evening the telegraph was re-opened, and a despatcll from Sherman himself reeeivi-d. The enemy, on Tuesday, had not fought him very desperately, but gradually retreated across the country towards Jonesboro . Sherman followed them. He brought` his entire army south of the Montgomery railroad, and by 'lhursday had arrived _within a mile of Joneslrow . Here he found the _enemy in!reIlched- They sent out a recoinnojgallces which was `soon .-el,"|39d,-nd Sherman made his nrrimgaiets {Ur an lltlcko TIN!

Their southern ank was at Jonesboro ; their northern front. at Rough and Ready; a village `thirteen miles from Atlanta. In front of their fiositton Flint river owe`d,an_d the hills on its `eastern side w.er_e intrenehed. It was this position which Sherman at- tacked on Thursday afternoon. He car- ried the Contedemtes works at Jones- boro- , capturing: `ten cannon and one ' thousand prisoners. 'JrIVl\ll `snail!-nu Rh: nun-\o`r'n nunnnni, V III II I IIUILI-AUII I Sherman marched his column down` the river until the rear reached Sand- towu, ten miles west of Atlanta. He then swung the head of it around toward the east until it struck the Montgomery railroad at Fairburn. From Fairburn a. raiding party was sent across the coliti- try to Joneshoro ,on the Macon raiiroad. 'l`he road was cut, but no very large force of the enemy found.. On August 28, Gen. Hood telegraphed to Richmond that Shermmfs line extended trom Sindtown to Fairhurn, thus being south- west ol' the city, and Hood at once be- gan moving his army to meet the Federal advance. She:man s southern ank} marched unopposed up the Montgomery railroad, from Fairburn towards Atlanta," until he reached Red Oak, twenty miles from the city. Here the Confederates met the troops and they halted. Sher- man s southern ank was then marched southeast from Sandtown towards East Point, eight miles from Atlanta. On Tuesday last, August 30, Sherman s line extended from Red Oak northeast, along the road towards East Point, from the direction of Sandtown. 1tll.....l l!...l3___ .` unv v vlucu La 3"" "` It has been about ten days since General Sherman began u. movement, much of which is still involved in mys- tery. One corps of his army, under Gen. Slocum, was left ?n the trenches in front of Atlanta. The remainder was gradually withdrawn, formed into a long column on the south bank of the Chat- tahoochee, and slowly marched down the river. Parallel to the river, and about eight miles south of it, is the Montgomery railroad. East Point is eight miles southwest of Atlanta; Red Oak twenty miles, and F.iirlmrn twenty- five miles southwest. At East Point the Macon railroad begins. It runs south to Jo_nesboro and then southeast. Jonesboro is twenty milesfrom Atlanta. llut very little intelligence of Sherman s move ments was transmitted North, for (luring almost all the time since it began Wheeler had the railroad and telegraph to Nashville cut, and there was no com- munication. 1:(Vl 1 Inc - - The American Wnr.
