A gold mine has been discovered in Berk's co.,
Pa, which yields fifty per cent. Of pure metal,
part gold, part silver. The migration Of gold
hunters to that region has not yet put the inhab-
iiants to any Inconvenience, or raised the price
Of provisions.
We are sorry 10 hear il. We like the
old keystone State, with all her faults,
and feel sorry 10 hear that she is cursed
with gold mines. which we look upon as
being ruinous to any country, especially
where they come in competition with pro-
ducfiue industry. Let Pennsylvania stick
to her coal and iron :.lines, and TO the cul-
tivation OF her rich fields, instead Of .roub-

This brings to our mind the extreme
richness Of our own State in coal, iron,
and the clements Of agricultural greatness.

SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETING IN MAcoN.-The
Georgia Telegraph received last evening, con-
tains most cheering account of the meeting of
the Union Southern Rights men of Macon, which
was held in that city on Monday evening last.
At an early hour the Courthouse was filled and
hundreds were unable to gain admission.
THE Telegraph says, the sentiment which
seemed to pervade large majority of those
present, promised well for the cause Of Southern
rights Judge Berrien was present according to
appointment, and addressed the meeting in a
speech of nearly three hours. And such an ar
gumentative, eloquent dignifed and scathing
speech we have not listened to for many day.
1t was of his very best efforts, and those
who have heard Judge Berrien speak will under
stand what We mean when we say this. 1t won
the respect of his opponents, and its counsels
will long he remembered and revered by his
friends. -,..-
The increasing demands on our columns pre-
vent us from extending our notice Of it, but we
shall recur TO this subject again.

CLAIBORNE CoUNTY.-A meeting of about one
hu "'dred of the most substantial farmers and
planters of this country, was held at the springs
three miles South Of Port Gibson, on the 18th
ult. 1t was composed equally or Wings and
Democrats; their object favors the Nashville
Convention and opposition to Northern aggres-
sion. The meeting was addressed by John
Humphreys, esq, of Claiborne, and Col. Sanders,
of this place. 1t adjourned, to meet again on
the first Saturday in November, and will con-
tinue to meet monthly, at the same place, until
submission or resistance shall be determined
upon by the people of the State. Almonst the
the entire mass of the meeting were native-born
citizens. They are calm, deliberate, and firm in
their resolves to oppose the unprincipled frauds
fastened upon the South by a corrupt Govern
ment and Congress-.
They will adopt non-intercourse with all the
enemies Of the South domestic and foreign
in business as in everything else. This is the
only course by the which we can save ourselves
from the influence of Northern capital and North
ern arrogance and control.

story about the President ordering troops North

ced the attempt which it appears is to be made to
resuscitate the abortive and generally repudiated
t" Nashville Conventions" .... ...n. 8..
The Southern Convention will certainly
meet here next Monday. Numbers have enga-
ged rooms at the hotels. Tennessee will not be
represented"
The Nashville "True Whig," in the following
brief paragraph, informs us precisely hoac many
compose the numbers" who are said to have
engaged rooms at the hotels of that city:
I" Fire Delegates to the Nashville Convention,
to re.assemble in this city on the 18th instant
four from South Carolina and one from Georgia
have spoken for rooms at the Verandah.
Take your time, gentlemen; no prospect of a
crowd"
The Louisville Journal in the following re-
marks upou the subject, expresses what We IN
derstand to be general sentiment in regard to
this renewed attempt on the part of few NAL
contents in one or two of the Southern States
to organize Southern Confederacy against the
Government of the United States:
"The Convention, it seems, will meet, but il
will evidently be very paltry affair. 1t will
scarcely be entitled to the name OF convention.
The future will be even more ridiculous now
than it was in June.
We think that the Delegates to this Conven-
ton must feel not little humiliation and shame
in assembling for the promotion of their treason
upon the soil of State which has no sympathy
with them, which condemns and abhors their pnr-
poses, and which will not furnish single dele
gate to hold counsel with them and take part in
their proceedings"
A few hours may put us in possession of the
muster-rolI of those delegates who may have
been present at Nashville on Monday, the day set
for the adjourned meeting.
