7 mint. Since We eave received addition
:a!osmation. which we communicate 10
car readers. I, will be seen lha, The ope-
ralions ofthat mint are increasing in i'm
postance, by the recent discovery of more
productive veins of gold.
We are informed that rich mine has
been discovered on the "Old Obar Nine"
which had been worked and deserted. IL
is The properly of DR.. John G. Calhoun,
who. when he was written TO and urged 10
repair 10 the spot and attend 10 his proper
", replied that he would not, and could
no, leave the affairs of the country, which
were of more importance TO him than gold.
Mr.. Sisin, has been working the mine with
IS TO Is hands; aud in eighteen days up to
the 2s,h May, the mine has produced 326
ounces of gold. On Monday following
$50 dwts. were gathered; on Tuesday $50;
on Wednesday HIS; on Thursday, 1893;
and on Friday. Only 1000 were gathered,
as some Of The hands were occupied in re-
pairing the tuanei, &c. The mine is re-
presented as very rich; and il is believed
that the richest part OF the mime has not as
yet been discovered.
To show the importance Of this branch
mint, we have been furnished with the fol-

TO tie Different Temperance Societies in
South Carolina.
The Stale Temperance Society. at its
lasi Annnai Meeting determined on holG-
ing a meeting in Greenvilie, in the ensu
ing Summer. The time is now fixed for
the I'd Monday in August. Each Society
will be expected to send Delegates; tue
number is Of course very much in their dis
cft,ion: but | would suggest, that general
ly abop, Ten delegates be appointed by
each society.
We have reached an important point in
the Temperance reformation; the whole Of
the State are aroused on the subject. lf
we can &c, in harmony aud perfect con-
cert, the good which may be done is incal-
culable! The object Of The Greenville
Convention is to attain that desirable cud.
Le, US then, beloved friends, for the res.
cue OF our companions, friends. acqnain-
iances, and even ",hc stranger within our
gates" como TO the resolution 10 sacrifice n
few days: and meet our brethren OF South
Coroiiua and Nosh Carolipa, 10 il,e sight
orour own majestic mountains. There by
interchangins thoughts, and becoming
knaHnr 10 ope another, we shall be able 80
form thar army Of Temperate frecmen.
who will be Us unbroken and Us invinciblc
as the Macedonian Phalaux. Lei each
Society, tWashing,ou. Total Abstinence,
or partial Abstinsuce,) send up delegates.
We are all acting for the good ofour lrllnw
men, and by taking sweet counsel togeth
CT, we shall not diminish our chance Of sue
cess.
Who would no, rejoice to know. tina,
there now was moi, and never hereafter
would be another drunkard in this Stale!
Such state of,hings would be the golden
uge, so beautifully but fabulously depicted
10 ancient poetry. IL may never be ex-
ac,ly attained. But we eau approach it,
il we try. The Republic Of au ancient
philosopher was creature Of his fancy
Our gallant and heroic fathers surpassed
the Philosophers dream, in the noble re.
publican institutions of liberty and free
dom, which they nobly won, and secured
for themselves and their posierily. A
similar spiri, Of patient endurance, Of uu-
finchipg purpose Of pure disin.erested mo-
tive. and Of harmonious action. TO that
which they exhibited in the revolution, will
now conduct US to the achievement Of rs
grcni Il conquest, and bring about as great
o deliycrance, as iha, which seven years
toll aud blood accomplished for them
They thereby became freemeu. We hope
70 continue free, and 10 be sobe:.
For such consumatiun let there be bui
one spirit among US. and c, that be to ex
Gel each other in advancing the cause of
Temperance. Let Us have but QUE mind,
and let that be to give up our OWE plans,
and aci upon such as will do mos, GOOD
These results can only be accomplished
by the Temperance Convention a, Green
vile. Tois let all constantly look, and in
il, lei erery Society be represented.
II is respectively asked Of the Prcsiden,
of each Temperance Society.to read this
circular TO the Society over which he pre-
sides, a, its FIRST meeting after TIE receipt
Oft, aud ask their consideration Of it.
