A SoUTH CAROLINA GOLD NINE We had the
pleasure of meeting and conversing with Mr.
Dorm, few days past, when on visit to Green
vile, and of learning from him some particulars
in relation to his valuable gold mine in Able
vile. Much as we had previously heard Of the
incalculable value of this property, we were as
founded at some of the facts stated by Mr., D.
1t may be as well TO state that Mr.. Dorm is a
plain transformations gentleman and man of
truth, which is better than all his wealth
Therefore his statements may be implicitly re-
lied upon.
Mr. D. informed us that he had within the
last eighteen months, with small force, taken
from his mine some three hundred thousand
a quarter on his land that it was fifteen feet
wide and We forget how many feet deep that
there was gold most frequently discoyerable
from the surface to the rich vein below. Mr.
Dorm has got as much as : 600 from one bushel
Of dirt, and has been, ii We recOllect Alright,
offered a million or two dollars for one-half of
his mine which he very wisely declined taking
His mine is maniestly worth an indefinite num-
Der OF millions, and the poprietor is unqueston-
ably the richest man in America perhaps the
richest, and, ladies' good looking and agreea-
BILE bachelor, also We trust Mr. Dorm will not
fail to attend the Ladies Presbyterian Fair at
this place, bringing with him the products of n
bushel of that dirt for the benefit of the church
and We know several Of our beautiful girl any
one of whom would alone he fair exchange for
his hand and gold mine LGreenville Noun

your fellow citizens.
"In conclusion, we tender you our cordial
wishes for the health of yourself and family, and
for your continued prosperity
Col Garland, in reply, returned appropriate
thanks for this evidence of esteem on the part
of the young men in his employ, complmented
them on their uniform good conduct, correct
ness Of department, industry and capacity, and
wished them that success in life which is the
sure reward of answering integrity.
Whatever credit, he said, had been won by
the department. was due as much to their I'M
firing services in the capacity of employees as
to his own exertions, In treading the slippery
paths of life, he remarked, they might rely upon
him as friend, who would always be ready to |
