"Of the amount of gold coined within the past year, about $80,000 were derived from Mexico, South America, and the West Indies; $28,900 from Africa; $678,000 from the gold region of the United States; and about $12,000 from sources not ascertained.

"Of the amount of gold of the United States, above mentioned, about $34,000 may be stated to have been received from Virginia; $458,000 from North Carolina; $45,000 from South Carolina; $140,000 from Georgia; and about $1,000 from Tennessee.

"It is rendered highly probable, by estimates entitled to great respect, that the quantity of gold of the United States delivered at the Mint within the last year does not much exceed the one-half of the production from the mines -- nearly an equal amount being supposed to have been exported uncoined, or employed in the arts. If this conjecture be nearly correct, the production of the gold from the United States during the year has not been less than a million and a quarter of dollars. This may be regarded as equal to one-sixth part of all the gold produced within the same period, from the mines of Europe and America, estimated according to the results of recent years, as given by the best authorities."
