Tn bare come in tbe glory of man hood’s might 
From your homes by the souadlog sea, 
With waring banners and armors bright. 
And the tread of the brave and free. 
Ye have come with pride and in stern array. 
Bearing rich treasure forth; 
Gifts on a glorious shrine to lay— 
Oh, men of the loyal North. 
To the note* of the trumpet's stirring Ha** 
And the bugle’s echoing strain, 
Ye have coma, and the hills as y« harried past 
Hare answered you buck again; 
And the voiceful wind that above them sweeps 
Seems sobbing out wild nlarrne, 1 
As bo tunes hia harp on the mountain eteeps 
To the Bound of your clashing arms. 
With aspect firm and the steady wHl 
That is horn or a purpose high. 
Ye have come, and tones that my being thrill 
Inquire—will ye tell u* wbyf 
Oh, why have ye come iu a rank so bold. 
With the tread of the brave sod free, 
Leaving the scenes and the haunts of old, 
And your homes by the sounding sea? 
Seek ye a laud where the soil is bright 
With jewels of wealth onloldt 
Ah, no, there are Fprings and a fount of light 
More precious to you than gold; 
Freedom! all pleasure that hath its birth, 
And lives in that burning won!, 
By which our spirits to joy and mirth 
Are deeply and wildly stirred,— 
High hopes, and the visions that wander down 
“The harp of a thorn-am! strings,” 
When it thrills with yearnings for that renown 
That courage to mortals brings,— 
All these have waked in your manly breast* 
The power of their syren spells, 
Till ye hero no longer the mournful guests 
That murmur of sad farewells. 
Ye have heard the cry that through all the land 
Hath rung like a clarion blast, 
And it seems a challenge of high command 
From the heroes of ages past,— 
Calling you forth in the prime of life, 
From your homes by the sounding sea. 
To vie with them in the coming strife 
For the triumphs of Liberty. 
Ye have heard, and ye come with a seal that takes 
Its Ilarne from a hallowed urn; 
But a low, deep voice in rny soul awakes, 
And asks, i oili ye aU return? 
Ye will, ah, yesl ye will all come back, 
But 1 fear to auswer how; 
Not iu the (lowery or pleasant track 
That you feet are treading now; 
Not to the roll of the stirring drum, 
With banner and waving plume; 
Not thus will you all In your glory come— 
There’s room in the grave, yet room! 
And some will find there a calm repose 
For the dust that enshrines the soul, 
Ere it drinks the last of earth’s hitter woes, 
And is freed from its stern control. 
For some will the chords of sweet lore be stirred 
Till they tremble, but not with glee; 
Oh, there shall be sorrow and mourning heard 
In the City beside the Sea. 
But why should we linger the sad notes o’er, 
Or list to the plaintive strain; 
Wake, harp stringa, thrill tv (he higher lore , 
If we die, we shall live again! 
And yo will, ah, yes, ye will all come hack, 
Though some may have viewless forms. 
With a power to o’ersweep the eagle’s track, 
When It Hess from the realms of storms; 
They will glide in the stillness of Summer Eves 
To the borons where the loved dwell, 
And their wings shall rustle the ever green leaves 
Than hang in Sweet Memory’s cell. 
Oh, Love, the immortal, hath many a voice, 
And many a sign can give, 
To bid the mourners of earth rejoice, 
And tell ns onr dead still live; 
They live to lovo, to enjoy and hope— 
What matters it here or there, 
Where soul* have a wider and freer scope, 
Unfettered by grief or care. 
Then go with your gifts of undying worth, 
In the glory of manhood go, 
Tis a holy summon that calls you forth 
To baffle a nation’s foo. 
Go win the laurels that wait for those 
, Who, with armor and helmet on, 
Shall guard from the host of its traitor foes 
The Freedom our fa the in wou. 
’Tis a glorious thing for the soul to bear 
High part in a sacred strife, 
Till the standard of victory wave in air, 
O’er the battle fields of life. 
An hour of guch triumph outweighs the years 
Allotted to us on earth; 
“ Without are fightings, within are fears,” 
Is the hymn of the Spirit’s birth,— 
For we rise in qoelliug the foes within 
To conquer the hosts without; 
Thus Truth is born from the death of Sin, 
And the wrong is put to ront. 
Then go, und return as the Father's hand 
In wisdom and love shall plau, 
Through paths that, lead to the “ Better Land,” 
Or those that are made l>y man. 
But bring ye bach, with its stars undimmed, 
The banner that o’er ub waves, 
And your praise on earth Bhall be sweetly hymned, 
Or chanted o’er honored graves; 
And a pman shall gush from the hearts of men, 
With the echo, tec still are free! 
Oh, there will be mirth and rejoicing then 
In the city beside the tea.

United States Branch Mint in San Francisco—How Money is 
made,- or, “ the way to make Money. ” 
Sa.v Fkaxciboo, Cal., Feb. U, 1861. 
It is doubtless known to most of the readers of 
tbe Rural, that there is a United States Branch Mint 
in San Francisco. This mint is one of the three in 
the United States, the other two being at Philadel¬ 
phia and New Orleans. The process of coining 
money is one of the most beautiful of the mechanical 
arts, requiring the employment of the most substan¬ 
tial, intricate and costly machinery, ami giving 
lucrative situations to a large number of men and 
women in the various departments of the institution. 
To describe minutely the various mechanical und 
scientific processes necessary to be gone through in 
the coining of money from the virgin gold, requires 
(if we judge rightly) some degree of mechanical 
and chemical knowledge. Our conductor kindly “ pickled,” which, being interpreted, means to best

paid the depositor. This is a greatpublic convenience. 
MAKING 'IRE GRANULATIONS. 
On leaving tho treasurer’s hands, the gold bars are 
first sent to thc melting room, where, as California 
gold contains from three to twelve per cent, of silver, 
it becomes necessary, in order to extract it, to alloy 
the gold with about twice its weight of silver, and 
thereby destroy tho affinity of the gold for the silver, 
thus enabling the acid to act upon the silver. For 
this purpose the gold and silver are melted together, 
and while in a hot and fluid state, poured gradually 
into cold water, where it forma into small thin 
pieces somewhat resembling common pop-corn in 
appearance, and these are called granulations. The 
granulations are then conveyed from the melting 
room to the refiner’s room, where they arc placed in 
porcelain pots standing in vats lined with lead. 
Nitric acid is then poured upon the granulations, in 
about thc proportion of two and a half pounds of 
acid to one of gold; and after thc porcelain pots arc 
thus filled sufficiently, the shutters by which they 
arc surrounded are fixed closely down, and the gran¬ 
ulations and acids boiled by steam for six hours, by 
which process the silver and all the base metals arc 
dissolved, while the gold lies upon the bottom un¬ 
touched. The bright orange-colored vapor seen 
issuing from the top of one of the chimneys of the 
miut, is generated from this process. 
SEPARATING THE SILVER FROM THE SOLUTION. 
After boiling, tho solution is drawn out of the 
pots by means of a gold syphon (worth over two 
thousand dollars) into small tubs. It iB then carried 
and emptied into a large tub or vat twelve feet in 
Iftf Answer in two weeks. 
the idanchets are cut out, and which gives them the 
required weight. This Is an improvement only in 
use in thc San Francisco Branch Mint, and is, we 
believe, the invention of Mr. Jojtn Eckeki.pt, the 
former coiner of the mint, and by which some 
$13,000 in light strips are saved from remelting 
every day. Bimple as tho fact appears, it prevents 
the melting of about $4,000,000 per annum, and is 
doubtless a great saving to tbe public. After the 
blanks or planchots are cut out, the a'rips are bent 
in a convenient Bhapo for remelt ing, and are sent to 
tbe coiner’s office to be weighed, preparatory to 
making up his account for thc day, and which, with 
the planehets, must make up the gross amount re¬ 
ceived Sri the morning from tho treasurer. They arc 
afterwards delivered to the treasurer, by whom they 
are again weighed, and then sent to the melter and 
refiner to be again cast into ingots. 
PROC’KaS WITH TUB PLANCHETB. 
The planehets are carried from tbe cutting press 
to the clenuing room, where they aro boiled in very 
strong soapsuds, from which they arc taken and 
dried in ft pail heated by steam, and then conveyed 
to the coiner’a office to be weighed, and those found 
too light are condemned for remelting; those which 
are too heavy, are reduced by filing to the standard 
weight All the plauchels thus adjusted are retaken 
to the coiner’s office, and, with the filings and light 
planehets, are carefully weighed, and that weight 
must tally with the gross amount of the planehets 
delivered to the adjusiet * during the day. The work 
of adjusting is performed by females, of whom from 
ten to fifteen are employed, according to the amount

salt water is poured upon It, which precipitates the 
nitrate of silver contained in solution, and it be¬ 
comes chloride of silver. The chloride la then run 
out of the vats Into large filters, where it is washed 
until the water escaping from thc filter is perfectly 
free from the acid. Tho chloride of silver is then 
taken out of the filter and placed in a reducing vat, 
where it is mixed with granulated zinc and water. 
Oil of vitriol is then poured upon it, when, by the 
action of tho oil of vitriol upon the zinc and water, 
hydrogen gas is generated, which, combining with 
the chlorine of the chloride of silver, forms muriatic 
acid, and leaves pure metallic silver in fine powder 
at the bottom of the reducing vut. 
PREPARING SILVER FOR COINAGE. 
The silver Is now taken out, and again washed 
carefully for the purpose of removing the acid and 
tbe chloride of zinc that has been formed by the 
action of zinc upon the chloride of silver while in 
the reducing vat. A fter the silver is thus thoroughly 
washed, it is placed in a hydraulic press, and sub¬ 
jected to the enormous pressure of 12,00(1 pounds to 
the square inch, and the water nearly all forced out 
of it, leaving a compact circular cake of silver about 
ten inches in width by about, three in thickness. 
These cakes ore then placed upon a drying pan, and 
the remaining moisture dried out The silver is now 
ready for melting and making into coin, or for nse 
in the granulating process. 
GOLD IN THE PORCELAIN POTS-ITS TREATMENT. 
Now, if it pleases the reader, we will return to the 
porcelain pots, and notiec what becomes of the gold 
left in the bottom. This Is subjected to another 
boiling prooess of six hours in fresh nitric acid, in 
about tbo same proportion as before, during which 
time it is frequently stirred, to enable tho acid to 
permeate the whole of the gold in the pot. After 
this second hoiling thd acid is bailed out (and saved 
for the first boiling process), and the contents of the 
porcelain pots emptied into a filter, where it is well 
washed with hot water prepared expressly for this 
purpose, and the remaining nitrate of silver is en¬ 
tirely washed out, leaving nothing but pure gold. 
The water is now pressed out in the Banie manner as 
it was from the silver, and the cakes locked up in a 
drying furnace for about three hours, when they are 
taken out and are ready for melting. 
THE MELTING ROOM. 
Come with ns to the melting room. There we 
find men moving about among crucibles, shoe and 
ingot molds, and what not, in front of the furnace; 
and, as they lift back the cover and the bright light 
From the adjusting room the planehets are taken 
to the milling room, where they are dropped into a 
tube belonging to tho milling machine, and by means 
of a revolving circular steel plate with a groove in 
the edge and a corresjxmding groove in a segment 
of a circle, the planehets are borne rapidly around 
horizontally, by which process the edges are thick¬ 
ened and the diameter of the planehets accurately 
adjusted to fit thc collar of the coining press. 
After milling, they are returned to the coiner’s 
office, and again weighed to ascertain if the weight 
is correct. They are then sent to the annealing 
room, where they are put into square cast iron boxes 
with double corners, carefully cemented with fire¬ 
clay, and placed in the annealing furnace, where 
they arc subjected to a red beat for about an hour, 
when they are taken out and poured into “pickle” 
containing diluted sulphuric acid. By this process 
they are softened and cleansed, and after they are 
rinsed with hot water, they are well dried in sawdust 
heated by steam, taken out, and returned to the 
coiner’s office, where they aro again weighed, and 
afterwards carried to thc coining room to be stamped. 
COINING, OR GIVING THE IMPRESSION. 
This process is performed by dropping the plan- 
chets into the tube in front of the machine, from 
whence they, are carried by feeders to the collar, in 
which they are dropped upon the lower die. The 
head-die then descends, and, by its immense power, 
displaces every particle of gold in the pluncbet, and 
gives the Impression upon both sides of the coin and 
the fluting on the edge at the same moment! At 
every motion the feeders not only Like a planchet to 
the collar, but at the same time push the coin pre¬ 
viously struck, and now perfect, from the lower die, 
which rises and falls for the purpose at each revolu¬ 
tion of tho wheel, from whence the coin slides into 
a box underneath. From the coining room they are 
taken to the coiner’s office, where they are weighed, 
counted and delivered to the treasurer for payment 
to depositors. There is one piece taken out of about 
every 00,000 dollars coined Into double eagles, and 
a similar amount from smaller coins, which are sent 
to Philadelphia, and carefully preserved for exami¬ 
nation at the judgment day, as it is curiously called, 
which takes place annually at Philadelphia, under 
the superintendence of Commissioners appointed 
by the U. S. Government. 
Surely two hours of careful observation and noting 
doivn of the varied and numerous steps necessary to 
convert the precious ores into coin, serve to corrob¬ 
orate the time-honored sentiment that “it requires
