The Love of Office.

Love of office and honors was the main
cause of the late unnatural war. The same
cause that led to all our troubles is still op-
Grating to continue them. The secession
leaders endeavored to destroy the government
on account of the offices. Bathed in this, as
soon as the war was over they managed
again to monopolvze all the offices, and they
refuse to yield them. though they know it is
not possible to restore the Union until they
do So
A marked illustration of this intense sell
fshness is seen in the conduct of one Raph-
ael Semmes, of Mobile, once commander OF
the Confederate ship Alabama. He was eiec-
ted Judge of the Probate Court of Mobile.
The President refused to pardon him for his
treason, and forbade his entering on the du-
ties of the Office. But he refuses to resign,
though the business of the Court is entirely
unattended to, and the estates of widows
and orphans are suffering for the want Of ju-
dicial proceedings The people will have no
peace. no restoration of the Union, and no
prosperity, until such selfish creatures as
Semmes are seourged into private life 1t
seems to be favorite maxim with these
arrogant and hungry leaders that the many
should suffer for the benefit of the few.

men aoho haoe stood By the South and the South
erp people through peace and aear, who are true
to the State and the interests of her citizens,
are before the people of Rowan to-day for
seats in the House of Commons-they are
worthy of support, let us see to it that they
are elected Let their friends be wide awake.
Do not split your vote. Remember that
Foard and Crawford form ticket, and it is
expected that the friends of the one will vote
for the other.n
We take it for granted these gentlemen are
elected.
Neither the national administration nor
the Republican party has done any thing to
sustain the Unionists of North Carolina
They stand alone, in the midst of wild sea
of sectionalism. They can not always main
tain this unequal contest.

REMARKABLE HAIL SToRM.-The following
is an account of a hail storm that occurred in
this county on Thursday last, which is not
only remarkable for being out of season, but
for quantity and appearance. The state
ments Of of our correspondent may be relied
on as strictly correct; i
DAVIDSON COLLEGE, N. c., Oct. II, 1855.
WI. Yates, Esq.-Dear Sir: The, follow
ing is description of a very novel and de-
structive hail storm which occurred at half
past 2 o. clock yesterday evening. The pie
ces mot stones) were of every conceivable
shape, with horns, legs, arms &C., resem-
bling bugs, fowls, grasshoppers, craw-fish-
aligators, crabs, fish, Lizards, chestnut burs,
monkeys, sea-shells, doll-babies. &C., &c.
They came down SO rapidly and in such size
and quantity that many ofthem lost an arm,
leg, or wing in the fall The little (not very
creatures came down with legs and arms
spread out so that they hitched upon the
cotton and other things stripping them pretty
clean of leaves and limbs. Some cotton
fields are ruined. The heaviest part of the
storm was between here and Mount Mourne
covering the ground from three to four inch
es in some places, and to-day itstill lies in
piles two inches deep, the pieces averaging
two and-a-half to three ounces in weight.
Respectfully, &C., 81. P. HELPER.

The Constitutional Amendment.

The Legislature of Texas having rejected
the Howard amendment submitted to the
States by Congress, her Secretary of State, by
direction, returned it to the State department
at Washington, with a message that Texas
had no use for it.
The New York Tribune seems to be san
guine that the amendment will be accepted by
the Southern States 1t says:
"The results of the October elections re-
move all rational doubt Of the emphatic in
dorsement by the uniformly loyal States of
the terms of Reconstruction matured and sub
mitted to the States by Congress in the shape
of an amendment to the federal Constitution.
The amendment has already been ratified by
the Legislatures of several States. including
Connecticut, Hampshire and New-Jer
sey The fact that few Legislatures have been
in session since it passed Congress has alone
prevented its general ratification. Other
States are sure to follow very soon. That
this amendment will be sustained and ratified
We cannot doubt"
The Tribune was never more mistaken
The recently insurgent States wiU not accept
it. We doubt whether they would accept it,
evenif the President were to request them to
do so. They might, if he should request it,
but he would at once incur the mortal hatred
of those leaders who are now controlling the
Southern States. These leaders are already
so infamed against the Northern people that
they will not even tolerate advice on this
subject when offered by Southern men, The
Southern man who urges the adoption of the
amendment merely as the lesser evil, and
not on its merits, is held up as Radical, as
mean white man, and as traitor to the
South. And we are sorry to say that this
feeling manifested by the leaders, is extend
ing itself to some of the Unionists of the

,eived pay in gold.
JACOB KLAUSHAMER.

Jacob having sold his stock out proposed
to leave his horse and cart with the old man
while he went to Philadelphia for more goods,
and old john thinking it a good opportuni-
ty sent by him three thousand penny weights
of gold to have coined at the mint and bring
back when he came with his goods. But
the old man never saw Jacob again, though
for long time would not believe he would
not return. for he would not have left his
horse and cart if he was not coming back"
the old man would say.
Ports died in 1850, and he and his wife
lie buried in the garden without even stone
to mark the last resting place of the owner
of so much wealth. At his death his
numerous children could make no AMIGA
BILE settlement, and the mine was sold, Mr..
Thomas K. Thomas, Of Louisburg N. c., be-
coming the purchaser. Mr.. Thomas has
worked it more or less for the past fifteen
wears and always proftably, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the only appliances used
have been the old fashioned pan, the rocker
and the sluice. One cannot help wondering
at any result but failure having attended
such shiftless and inefficient working, but the
records show that during the lifetime of Por-
It's more than million and half OF dollars
was taken from the mine.
The soil in which the gold exists is red
alluvial. and quartz as pure as any ever saw
is also very abundant. Clay, mica and tai
cose slate exist in large quantities. Many
analyses of the quartz have been made, and
never have failed to show gold. The rocks
have assayed from $3S, the lowest, to 81 ,46O,
the highest, per ton. But the great wealth
of the mine is in the soil. For three days l
have been exploring theproperty with pan
and shovel, and have been unable to ind a
single shovel full on the whole nine hundred
acres that did not show gold. used q COM
mon iron saucepan holding abouttwo quarts,
and every pan full washed showed from two
to ten cents worth of gold, the purest have
ever seen. No other mineral has ever been
found on the mine, and honestly believe 1t
to be the richest surface mine in the world.
By the process used here only about two
inches of the surface top could be washed,
and then they were obliged to wait until the
surface exposed by this scraping became
stacked by the action of air, frost, &C., when
the process was repeated. The lack OF wa
ter has also been severely felt here, requiring
the material to be washed to be hauled a
considerable distance The present compa-
ny will, however, obtain aplentiful supply by
a very simple and economical process. A
large quantity Of fine gold is shown in every
painful of the soil, and by the old process
this has all been lost.

FEARFUL FALL OF TIGHT ROPE DAN
cER.-Jephtha NJ Gorham, at Corunna,
Michigan, attempted last week to perform on
a tight-rope stretched from the roof of a
house to the cupula of the Courthouse He
accomplished several feats, and finally un-
dertook to balance himself on his back on
the rope, and, sliding off head downwards'
to catch the rope under his knees, and hang
thus suspended In executing this he lost
his presence of mind until he felt the rope
touching his heels. He then exerted himself
to keep from falling downwards. He tried
to turn so as to alight on his feet, but only
partially succeeded. He fell distance of
forty feet on his hip and back, on the hard
ground. His spinal column was injured, his
limbs paralyzed, and it was not expected
that he would recover.

The New York Times edited by Henry ].
Raymond, gives the following advice to the
Southern States. Mr.. Raymond was the
great leader in the Philadelphia Convention,
of which Messrs Graham, Ashe, Barringer,
Howard, and Others of this State, were mem.
bers. MIR. Raymond is known as the nation
al leader Of the Worth men of this State.
He is the author of the Resolutions and Ad-
dress of the Philadelphia Convention, so
warmly endorsed by the Worth men ofthis
State. Mr., Raymond, who voted in Con-
gress for the Howard amendment, now says:
Nor will it be wise for the South to leave
out of view the probable consequences of re-
fusing to accept the Amendment as the ba-
sis of restoration. They cannot doubt that
the effect of refusal will be to strengthen the
Radical sentiment which already demands
more extreme coalitions and threatens the
most ultra and destructives measures. That
sentiment is not yet dominant in the Union
Party, nor will it become so unless it is streng-
thened again, as it has been hitherto,
by unwise action on the part of the President
and the Southern States At almost any
time during the last session of Congress it
might have been disarmcd and overborne, if
the resistance to the Union party on the part
of the President had been less indiscriminate
and more judicIous; ; and even as it was, it
failed to carry any of its extreme and violent
measures. II the President and the Southern
States will accept the popular decision Just
pronounced as entitled to respect, and afford,
by judicious and considerate action, basis
for the more moderate and discreet portion of
the Union party to act upon, we are confident
that all our difficulties may yet be overcome.
The people are not revengefal nor irrational
in their temper or their views. They do not
seek or desire the degradation of the South,
NOR do they endorse or approve the wild vag-
aries and crazy schemes of Butler, Stevens,
and their confederates. But they believe the
Constitutional Amendment to be essentially
just, and its adoption necessary to the peace
and safety of the nation. Hostility and Bit
ter resistance may drive them into more ex-
treme positions, and thus strengthen the fac
tion from which the country at lage, and es-
| pecially the South, has the most to fear and
it cannot possibly change or improve the ac-
tion of Congress for at least three years to
come" SIS
