GOLD DIsoovERY.-We have been informed
oy gentleman recently from Morganton, in the
western part of this State, that a very rich
deposit OF gold was found on farm near that
place, about twenty days ago. The gold is
found embedded 10 and around a vein of quartz
about twelve inches in circumference, ard in
such quantities that it is estimated that one
0ushel of the quartz and soft decourposed rock
lying around it will yield from So 500 to $780,
In some instances the pure gold runs in COM
pact coils spiral bands, about the thickness of
common lead pencil, around the quartz. Our
informant offered the owner of the farm S7O,-
uuo Tor it-S2 900 cash, the ba lance in sixty
days and if not paid 10 that time the, 81, 900 to
be forfeited; but he would not accept. The ex-
c'tement about Morganton relative to this dis
covery is represented to be running very high

mated IN band of white men hunting down
some Oh the negroes tor the purpose OF searching
for one named Couch, who few days previous
had attempted to cut the throat of white man,
and robbing them of their arms and money.
Complaint was made to the civil authorities, and
warrants issued for the arrest of eleven of the men
committing the outrages.
The l4th instant was set apart for the hearing
of the case, at village named Woodstock. On
that day about one hundred well-armed white
men assembled, swearing they would kill every
negro who attempted to testify, and threatened
the magistrate, Mr. Dix with violence if the pro-
ceedings were gone through with. The ma ys-
trate seeing the state of affairs, endorsed upon
the warrant for the arrest of the parties the i'm
possibility Of conducting the trial under such cir
cumstances, and gave it to Major French. the
agent Of the Freedmen's, Bureau This latter
officer advised the negroes to quietly return TO
their homes and while doing SO were again as
saulted and pursued by the armed whites, until
they reached a place of safety. :
Upon the arrival of the troops from the fortress
they all dispersed in every direction, not one of
them being found after the rigid search made by
the soldiers.

The STATES INTEREST IN THE RAILROADS.
To enable the State to pay off, to extent,
her. indebtedness. the State Convention passed
AL ordinance authorizing the exchange of stock
owned by the State in the Railroads for State
bonds. For instance a who holds State
bond for 81 ,OOO obtain for it 81 900 in Rail
road stock by application to the Public Treas
urer. If the holders of State bonds generally
consent to this exchange. the control Of our Rail-
roads will soon pass from the hands of the State
into those of individuals. which will prove bene-
ficiul to the Roads. at least.
The Ruleish Sentinel speaks of this matter as
follows:
when the subject Of selling the interest of the
State in the Railroads fs>f mooted. look in q
at her material condition aud INDUCING the hope
that our Railroads might be a source If profit to
her, and thus prevent the necessity of taxation.

A Tale of Unrequited Love.

The Editor of the Eureka Union
relates how he once fell in love and
SCOT the mitten:"
We were never, kind readers, ''de5-
perate in love" but once, that was
with 4 red--no, auburn n-haired girl
with frcckled complexion and who
had but few pretentions to beauty;
but then she had such really beanti-
ful eyes, deep liquid orbs, through
which her soul,in moments of tender
ness, looked out with apassionate
fervor, and in joyous mirth flashed
and sparkled with the light OF a
thousand dew -drops-diamonds we
we're going to say, but we never saw
q thousand diamonds. Her name
was Laura--which when bresthed
softly, BY a very soft lover, is very
sweet name-and her clear ringing
laugh fell all around you, ike
shower OF silver bells. Moreover,
she wore a dark wine-colored dress,
trimmed with lilac-colored velvet
and black fringe. with a neat little
white collar OF fine lace, which is the
prettiest OIL dress, and so has the ef-
feet to make = very plain girl look
absolutely charming. She never per
forated her ears to hang thereby
pendulum OF glass and brass, and
the only ornament on the little white
hand. which needed none, was
plain gold ring, sacred to the memo
ry of a maidens promise. Well one
evening-it was moonlight, in the
summer-we sat alone in the porch
by the cottage door, holding that
little white hand in a gentle pressure,
one arm had stolen around her waist
and a silent song of joy, "like the
music Of the night" was in her
soul. Our lips met in a sweet de-
licious kiss, and bending softly to
her ear, we whispered tale of pas
sionate deyotlon-we proposed. In
a moment she tore her hand frem
ours, and with a look of inefable
scorn she said, in voice trembling
with suppressed rage, "What, marry

Hard Test

A gentleman once heard man
swearing dreadfully in .he presence
of number of his companions. He
told him it was a cowardly thing to
swear so in company, when he dare
not do it by himself. The man said
he was not afraid to swear at any
time or in any place. "Tll give You
ten dollars" said the gentleman, eff
you viii go into the village grave
yard at twelve o'clock tonight and
swear the same oarhs which you
have uttered here, when yOa are alone
seith God"
agreed" said the man; sit is an
easy way to make ten dciisrs."
"Well, you come to NE tomorrow
and say you have done it, and the
money is yours"
The time passed on, midnight came.
The man went to the grave yard,
not sound was heard; all was still
as death. The gentlemen's words,
alone asih God, came over him with
wonderful power The thought of
the wickedness of what he had been
doing, and Of what he had come
there to do, dsrted across bis mind
like fash of lightning. He trem-
bled at his folly. Afraid to take an
other step, he fell on his knees, and
instead of the dreadful Osths he came
to utter, the earnest cry went up
"God be merciful to me a sinner"
The next day he went to the
gentleman and thanked him for what
he had done, and said he had resoly-
cd not to swear another oath as long
"a he lived.

good anecdote:
During the famous John Morgan
raid through Ohio, Kentucky, and
Indiana, my command then serving
in West Virginia, was sent up the
Ohio. rs far as Buliington's island, to
intercept and prevent the escape Of
the rough rider and his lawless fol-
lowers. We arrived at PomeroY
early in the morning, and found the
inhabitants OF that struggling little
town in q state of most intense ex-
citement over the rumored approach
of the enemy. At first we veterans
did not credit the statements OF clu.

soldiers sent ashore to learn the sltu-
alton and obtain reliable information,

The PRESIDENTS RKBUKE OF a SE-
cEsH PREACHER. An account IS
given of the interview of secesh
clergyman from Alabama with the
President some months ago. Gen.
Thomas had silenced the preacher
for his reasonable preaching, so he
posted off to Washington to get re-
dress. -...
The President received him courte-
ously, but when he had made known
his errand, he arose from his seat,
and gave him a blessing he will re-
member for lifetime. Going back
to the early days Of the conspiracy
against the nation, he arraigned the
apostate clergyman as "guilty before
Cod for the measure Of war and
woe which had desolated the land
''Not satisfied" said he "with this
carnival of blood, you are still ham
mering away at your end OF the
string to keep alive this agitation,
and encourage an alienation which
is to day the bane of reconstruction,
and must operate to widen the gulf
you have dug between the people OF
the North and the people Of the
| South"
s.Why," said the clergyman, in
terupting the President in his furious
denunciation, lone would think from
your anathemas that we poor preach
ers were accursed of God and man,
and we were shut out from heaven
and earth"
Heaven" repeated johnson, with
decision; 81 say reverently that you
and yours of your cloth who persist
in this suicidal folly this great
crime against God and humanity
may deem yourselves lucky if you
get to hell"

the most intelligent for officers. Be

essary to select Colonel, and riding
along the entire line, / espied at the

ing, gray haired man, who looked
fight in every glance of his twinkling

cheers and tiger in honor of his
promotion, which were given with 3
will. All was now in readiness, and
giving the Colonel directions to fol-
low me, rode to the head of the
column. / noticed little hesitation
on the part of that worthy and high
official, but it was only momentary;
he moved rapidly to the front and
center, halted, faced about, and gave
the following command in the dialect
peculiar to southern Ohio.
"Look wild thar. tote your guns;
prepare to thieken and march end
ways. Go adukin-git!"
And amidst such yell as was new
er before heard in those "diggins"
the gallan. Colonel dashed of in the
search of grsybscks, followed by his
impatient command. II is needless
to add that these rustic soldiers con
tributed not 4 little toward the cap
ture of Morgan; but l doubt if even

quick" in the requisite number of

where treason has torn down. They
are to heal these wounds as best they

house sud his children in flames by
the torch, and would take him back
into his employ the next day, would
be considered fit subject for luna

deuce, caution and care, should pre-
vail here. The wounds upon our in
stitutions are everywhere seen. The
blood yet oozes freely from wounds
that can never be healed. And yei
