A Curious Bit Of History.

How THE OLD NORTH STATE WAS DoNE
OUT OF HER COPPER MINES. - Look
ing along the boundary between
North Carolina and Tennessee, it will
be seen that the line, after pursuing
a general southwest course for nearly
the whole way, suddenly bends direct
ly south as it approaches the Georgia
border. Now this line should have
kept on southwest, as it started, but
the boundary commissioners being so
near the close Of their labors, resolve
ed, it is S I'D, to have general spree
Ia the course of which the CaroiIniaas
got gIoriously iDebriateG, and their
Tennessee eoGirerees amused them
selves by changing the line, and
cheating them out Of small corner.
1t was considered 1: capital joke at
TIE time, for the land is ION It's edge,
aud appears to be Of the sort that
makes man poorer the more be
has Of it. But it has lately been
found 20 be no joke, as far as Old
Rip" is concerned, at any rate, ior
this very corner has in it the great
copper deposit Of DucktOwn, which
contains immense and inexhalstibie
} beds OF that valuable metal,
Mining is in its infancy there, yet
the valley already pous out its ores
by the millions worth, aud constantly
increasing every year. In ten years,
probably, the market value Of this
mining region will not' be less than a
hundred millions. TIE line was run
about fifty yearsas ana Mort Caro-
lima is barred by the statute Of limi-
tation from reclamation. The "moaI
Iaiu dew was decidedly unwhole-
some that time FOX the good oll

THE SOLDIERS,

These OF our readers who were
present at The discussion at this
place, between Gov. Harris and Col.
Nethorland, will remember that
Netheiland raised a great hue and
cry against Gov. Harris for voting
against the bill allowing additional
pay 10 the old soldiers, and attempted
10 leave the impression upon the
minds of the audience, that the bill
alluded to had ference TO hose men
who served in the war With Mexico
both volunteers and regulars. In
orde: that the truth of history may
be indicated, and the position OF
Gov. Harris set right before the peo-
pie, wepublish the entire law, passed
June II, 1850, and if there is one
word III it about additional pay to
those who served in Mexico or else
where, We confess our inability to
discover it. Here is the Ian:

Don't Want Their Votes

at Shelbysille, as we are inform

the last plow, and horse Of the poor
debtor from execution, and asked if
there was man in the crowd who
would avail himself Of the. law. AT

let him hold up his hAnd!' A voter
IN the crowd promptly held up his
hand liz answer to the appeal. This
WAS more than Col. NETHERLAND ex-
pected. He evidently thought that
bis manner oil putting the question
would deter any one from answering
IN the affirmative. When in spite of

there was nothing left him but to
,abuse the citizen who faced him.
