went to get it, he found that it had been

The Youngstown Courier says that the
discovery Of d rich vein of gold quartz is

gagged sinking shaft for coal. The work.
men had bored down about one hundred
feet below the coal level in that basin, when
they struck a, vein of the rock, strongly
intermixed with a substance at first sup
posed to be sulphur. Upon the examina-
tions of the rock by Colonel Hemphill and
his ,snperintendent,, Mr. Mills, and. after
severe tests, they pronounced It to be gold
of superior quality, and capable of yield
ing five.thousand dollars to the ton. The
rock is about the same as that in which the
Greene county gold is said to have been

How TINES CHANGE The last
number of the Louisville Journal
comes to hand with the names of the
nominees ofthe Democratic Conven-
ton of that State, flying at its mast
head and with slashing leader against
the Louisville Democrat, the old organ
of the party, for refusing to support
the ticket! The Journal concludes ::
The present is no time for divisions
and ordinations and recriminations
among those who would save the
country, and we think that this fact
was fully recognized by the Frankfort
Convention. If any conservative is
of opinion that the Convention could
have done better than it did, let him,
in spirit of patriotism, refrain from
any attempt to make his private opin-
ion a cause of occasion Of mischievous
discord. If ever there was time
when it was the solemn duty of Ken
lucky to present, for the country's
sake and her own, a bold and united
front against the destroyers, such a
time is this. = .sat es,y

The SITCATIoN.-We are beset by
inquiries from various quarters as to
the proper course to be taken by oul
existing civil authorities and people,
in regard to the political and govern
mental changes with which we are
threatened. aai .qafsz 81 I
Our uniform answer is to 'skeep
COOL" restrain your feelings, exercise
the highest philosophy and patience,
and bide events Utterly powerless
as our people are to resist any wrong
or oppression to which they may be
subjected, they will only make their
situatio worse by vain opposition, and
compromise their dignity and man

There is no political disfranchise-

honest, straight forward course of pri-
vate life. that he eventually acquires a
larger influence and achieves greater

: The FoREsHADowING OF RAIN
just before rain, flowers smell stronger
and sweeter, because the vapors Of
the air prevent the scented particles of
their perfume from ascending, as they
would in drier atmosphere. Instead
of rising above the earth, the odor is
disseminated by the moisture, because
the plants are stronger in fragrance
just before fall of rain, we see horses
stretch out their necks and sniff the
air in a peculiar manner. Animals are
more observing than men, and nature
speaks to them in a silent manner.
They thus are able to prognostieate
the coming storm with unerring signs,
while man stands beWildered and lost

4HB WEEKLY CLARION,

GEN. j. AaEARLY has entitled him
self to the lasting gratitude of his
Southern countrymen for his memoir
OF the last year of the war, It is a
valuable contribution to the treasury
of history, and willrescue from OBJ
hvion many facts which might have
been lost toposterity. We hope that
his example will be followed. Every
one connected With the struggle, from
the general-inrchief to the humblest
private, should add his offering wheth-
er 1t be great or small, to the common
stock Of information. If our cause
was lost under the pressure Of over
whelming odds, and inexhaustible re-
sources, let us see that thefame Of our
heroes be not obscured in the clouds of
calumny and Misrepresentation with
which hireling pens and malicious
tongues have sought to envelop them.
We copy in our present issue, an ex-
tract from the Preface of sthe work.
explaining the political antecedents of
the writer, the object Of his work, and
the spirit in which it. is written. The
following extract is worthy to be re-
bpeated
81 have not undertaken to speculate
as to the causes of our failures as !
have seen abundant reason for it in the
tremendous odds brought against US.
Having had some means Of judging,
will however, say, that in my opinion
both President Davis and Gen. Lee, in
their respectivesphe did all for the |
success Of our cause which it was pos
sible for mortal men to do, and it is q |
great privilege and comfort for me so
to believe, and to have been able to
bring with me into exile a profound
love and veneration for those great
men," - ~inz 70 es as.,.re a.2-l

| Mr.. Sherman made q brief but
powerful speech, yesterday, In opposi.

reconstruction must embrace any ex-
tensiye Acknowledgement OF, rebels.
He reminded that gentleman that he
had pleaded often and eloquently for
arming the negroe with the ballot as
| the grand panacea for the South, but
thatnow for the first time in our leg
islation, the opportunity was offered
him, he found fault with the bill as
Eahorridly detective" He was ready
to meet the issue boldly. Nothing
could be more impressive and touch
ing than his picture ofthe PROSTATE
condition of the South, and his elo-
quent appeal, if this. was not enough,
that we must seek to put the white men
of the South under the control ofitheir
late slaves. No community, no legis-t
lation, no convention demanded it, and
he boldly announced that no American
Congress wonld be guilty Of such IN
enormity, which he showed was OPP
posed to the republican form Of gov
eminent that the Massachusetts Sena-
tor so often insisted on. We give, he
said, the negro the ballot, the school,
the protection Of the law; but this
nation would never consent to put
white men under his domination. The
Senate galleries were crowded, the
lobby was filled with members OF the |
House and other distinguished persons |
and the entire audience was held rive |
ted by the rapidly spoken, forcible
and impassioned, speech of the Sena-
tor of Ohio, which deserves to be
ranked among the noted efforts of the
palmiest days of the Senate. We !
heard it with but one regret; that
man who so manifestly sympathised
with his suffering countrymen is not
willing freely and at once to trust
them with the undeniable right of free
dom, self-government.i 80 aal% Il
