North Caroli"a.-The Legislature of
the State Of North-Carolina has author
lied Professor Olmsed TO make a geo.
logical survey of the State, in order 10
ascertain how much of the precious met
ais is to be found within its jurisdiction.
The discovery of gold, says the Raleigh
Register, has "not been confined TO one
section of the State, for though Carbar-
rus and Montgomery, Rowan and Arson,
have perhaps reaped the greatest har-
vest In this precious produce, yet t;yo
counties remote from these, have also
found pieces of the precious ore. The
minute particulars we cannot ascertain;
but gentleman from Granville, recently
informed Us, that some mouths ago, IA
piece Of gold was found, which sold for
between twenty and thirty dollars, and
preceding that, piece had been found,
which sold for f10 sterling. A gentle
man from Nash, present at this CONVEX
satlon, said that he had himself sold a
lump of gold found in his county, in this
city, for $50. True it is, this produce
was of small value, but it confirms the
opinion that there is vein of this prec-
ious metal running through this State.
"Great events do moi appear at once;
lime, and frequently accidents. make
discoveries, which aided by scientific
research become of great value to the
community, as well as individuals. The
silver mines of Sweden, we think, were
discovered by the accidental striking of
a vein by horses hoof.

Oh there is q dream OF early youth.
And 1t never comes again;
IT'S vision of light. of life, and truth,
That Hits across the brain:
And love Is the theme of that early dream.
So wild, 50 warm, SO new,
That in all our after years deem,
That carly dream we rue.
Oil there 3 a dream of maturer years.
More turbulent by far; 49, 4 =
sTis visiun Of blood and Of woman's tears,
For the theme of that dream is war:
And we toll in the field of danger and death.
And shout in the battle array,
Till we find that fame is a body less breath.
That vanisheth away.
Oh there is dream Of hoary ago,
IT'S a vision Of gold in store
81 sums noted down on tbe.figured page,
To be counted DER and o'er;
Aud we fondly trost in our gittering dust.
! As a refuge from grief and pain,
Till our limbs arc laid on thai last dark bed.
Where the wealth of the wo, Id is vain.
And is it thus, from mans birth to his grave
In the path which all are treadingl
Is there nought in that long career 10 save
From remorse and sell upbr adingi
- yes, there's dream so pure, SO bright.
Fhat the being to whom it is given.
Hath bathed iis o aea Of living lisht,-
And the theme OF that dream IL Heaven.
