How 10 MIC Gold.

Alchemy houFished most in the fifteenth
aud sixteenth centuries; and clever impos
ters contriVed to feather their nests very
satisfactorily TO themselves. The adven-
lures OF one Cornaro, an Italian alchemist,
supply case in point. THE Cornar0, Who
was bit of scamp, it would seem, was
thrown into prison at Venice, not tor his
very good behavior. He contrived, how.
ever. to inform his patron, the Duke de San
MartinO, OF the fact of his arrest; and!
knowing the Dukes foible, he promised 70
teach him the secret of gold making which
would enable him to raise AN army, with
which to conquer small ptiucipSlitV TO
which he asserted a claim. The Duke az.
scented, and CoTnarO WAs set at liberty, The
scamp, seeing q fine chance. reduced FORTY
Pistoles to powder which he mixed with
Garth. This stuff he made Toto four pack
ets. and sold through his 5acComplices TO
the druggists under the name of Ohunauo
earth-a preparation then in great vogue
among chemists-Rnd snapped up on this
occasion, owing to the moderate price
which it was offered,
When the day for the experiment arrived
COrnarO sent the duke's people to get some
Ohuuam powder at the address be gave
This powder was thrown into a Grucible
along with ten pistOleei and an hour later.
$50 " 'Ho sa1ue VI seVeuteeni was taken
out OF 1t, to the great delight OF the duke.
Cornaro represented to him that with q
large sum, the profit would be greatly aug
mented; and the poor duke. who was EASY
to conVince, Promisedto supply the rogue
with twenty thousand crowns. The day
OF Veuus, Friday, unsolicited for the ex-
pertinent; and owing to the Importance Of
Inc anAir, the gold would remark ID q state
OF fusion for two days The noble Veus-
tisn was punCtual; aud as the clock stFuci
twelve he threw the money with his owl
hands into the crucible. Tho alChetnis
was LEFT alone to watch the operation; Blu
when the duke returned next day, he fouut
not soul IN the house he bad hired for th,

time was weldon his way 70 Genoa. And

OBITUARY.
Nov l3, 1868

Departed this life, in this town at the residence
Of her sen, Mr. Britton, July 18th, 1855, Mrs.
CATHARINE BrIrroy, con.ort of Dir Francis Britton,
decd, in the 18th year of her age.
Mrs Britton was native of Charleston, G, but
of late years resident of Charlotte, n G.. She
| a consistent member of the Methodist Church, aud
the writer who knew her well, truly say she
was an unseifsh christian. By her goodness and
cheerfuness, she endeavored to render those around
her happy, and always regardless of self she fol-
lowed the golden rule-"DO unto others you
would that they should do unto you" Her last ILL
ness was borne with unmurnurng fortitude, aud
gently "a child falling her life which had
been deroted TO the happiness of her family and
friends, passed away 20 the God who gave it. Eliza
beth Brilton, her granddaughter, young maiden,
just on the threshold of wOmanhood died. Suddenly
of Typhoid Fever, week before her dear old grand
mother, bnt the sad event told her as she
was too III at the time. She leaves children, grand.
children, and great grand-c children to mourn her
irrepnrablc loss. No more will she greet us with
her kindly smiles and loving words, and OIL when
the evening FIRE is kindcd, how much her son and
daughter will miss her conhpanionship, they
gaze upon her vacant chair. But placing trGst
in the Father, "who doeh all things WELL" we have
the hope of meeting thee dear grand mother in that
better land where there is no sorrow nor care.

A BAD SIGN.-It would appear that the ne
groes in town greatly in want of work. A
load Of wood was thrown out in front of our office
the other day. and in the course of a few hours
we had Ten applications from able bodied freed
men to cut it up. These negroes have left good
homes in the country where they had plenty to
eat, and lying about town in deness, only
occasionally getting little job of work. The
farmers need laborcrs many have had to dis
continue farming for the want of labor-while
hundreds and thousands of able-bod negro
men are lounging about the towns and cities.
The Legislature must take some action which
will compel negroes who do not properly belong
to town and have no homes in it, to leave and go
to the country for work

NORTHERN ELECTIONS.-On Tuesday last
elections were held in several Northern States
for State officers, and it appears that the Repub-
licans or Radicals have carried every thing before
them. Even New Jersey has gone for the Re
publicans. In New York, Gen. Slocum, who
served in Sherman's army. and who endorsed the
Presidents reconstruction policy, was defeated
by Republican for State office. These are
bad signs. and show d determination. VIC fear oil
the part of majority of the Northern people to
keep military authority over the people of the
South.

THE NEGRO IN TENNEssEE.-Here is what
the Greenvile East TENNESSEE New Era says
about the negro population Of that section.
Greenville is the home Of Andrew johnson, and
the New Era is, we suppose, thorough a
Union paper as any in Tennessee or cut Of it:
alt may be as we'll for the white citizens of
our country to subserve, in some degree, their
own interest as to incur unnecessary incoDven-
fence and expense in supporting the vagabond
negro population that remain in midst. A
few months Of experience have clearly demon
stratcd the fact that the negro free is very differ
ent from tie negro slave and We are sorry to
add that experience does no, prove that be is in
any degree benefited; nor do We believe that
his freedom, so dearly bought, will or can ever
benefit him while he remains in our midst.
While we, in common with toe country, rejoice
that be is longer in bondage, and exult that
our free country is rid of the great curse and
disgrace of human bondage, yet we think that
neither the negro por the white man can be
benefited by the abolition of slavery while the
negro is permitted to remain in our country. If
they were disposed to be industrious and faith
full, they would be employed aud amply remune-
rated; but the experience Of short period has
fully proved that he is unthrifty, lazy, and
wholly unreliable. And We think it due ts
ourselves to ignore them in toto and not employ
them in any way, but procure in their stead
white laborers and servants, which would ne-
cessarily drive this indolent people out of the
country We have done enough for the negro,
and if, protecting our own self-interest, Guilty
should suffer, it will be attributable to his own
idlepess and unfaithfu!ness,n
