The Mineral Resources Of
PickenS,
PlCkGnS.

Pickens District is rich in mine
raj resources. There are numbers
Of places where a great deal Of
work had been done before the
war commenced. Col. KUHTMANN
expended thousands Of dollars in
his search for copper, and we ex-
pect to see some less liberal and
perhaps more fortunate adventu-
rer entirely successful. The gold
diggins" have been worked in
many places, yielding a much bet
ter sum than mere novices in the
business could expect. On Mr..
A. II. SNITH's fine place, in Cheo-
hee, very fine specimens Of gold
have been found, and it is ,repor-
ted to be very rich. Some Of
':our natural enemies" from New
York, have examined it, with a
view Of making a purchase. The
KEITH place, in Chcohee, is also
rich in gold. Here, and elsewhere
in the District. we learn that ear
nest efforts will be made to remove
the ::precious metal" from mother
earth. And, upon all these efforts,
we trust the most abundant sue
cess will be realized.
The gold mania is also moving
our Rabun friends. An efficient
company has been formed for
working the mines On Dicks,
creek; on the Hydraulic plan.
quite a profitable trade has sprung
up, in gold Iots," between Rabun
and Dahloncgah-one company
alone investing as mach as one
hundred thousand dollars, in these
gold lots"

HThe Only Hope"

We have materially considered
the question, and see no hope for
the South, but in the organization
and consolidation Of, all the true,
men Of the country for the default
(defeat) Of Joe. Brown and his par
ty under the terms offered US in
their destructive and revolutionary
measure.-Chr0nicle & Sentinel.
Ifthe only hope Of the South con-
sists in the defeat Of Joe. Brown,
then indeed; may the condition Of
the country be considered almost
hopeless for in cur humble opin-
ion, the policy supported by Brown
affords the shortest and least OBJ
jectionable path to peace and safe.
ty that will be offered US. What
IS Joe. Brown's'' policy, that its
defeat is the only hope for the
South? He is for accepting the
Sherman biIl-for voting for Con-
,vention, and for sending the best
men we can, who can take the
oath required. to that Convention.
to adopt a Constitution il aceor-7
dance with that bill. Now what
will be the result if the Chronicle
and alI.the "true men" Of the coun-
try organize and defeat Joe.
Brown and his party?" They
will vote no Convention-they Will
defeat the object Of the Military
Bill, and keep the State under mil
.itary law till Congress meets,
when, who can doubt that bills
will be passed, increasing disfran-
chiSement 50 far as to insure reor-
ganization. Then the negroes and
per Sc IoyaIists will have every
thing their own way, and the "true
men" Of the country"-as the
Cdronjc!e is pleased to term them,
will be permitted to look on and
see the fruits Of their folly and
contumacy.
This is what is to be gained by
fighting Joe. Brown" and his
party.-Augu&ta Press.

R,D EPFEcTs OF SECRET SOCI

BAD EPFEcGs OF SECRET SOcIE-
TIES AMONG FREEDNGN.-At the
time Of the organization oethe first
Union League in Charleston, the
freedmen were exceedingly en-
rhusiastic on the subject Of educa-
ton. Not. only were the day
schools crowded with children, but
at night also white-headcd octo-
ecnarians sat side by side with
Young men and women III primary
classes. The desire Of the freed
men of all ages was to learn to
read and write. in order to enable
them to become voters-an object
which was kept constantly before
them with the most excellent
effect. In an evil hour it was pro-
posed to organize Loyal League,
and a charter was obtained from
Philadelphia. The men tiockcd
to it's meeting by hundreds. One
after another council was formed,
and the schools were soon desert

tator Of the leagues. Forms and
ceremonies were endlessl y multi
piled, until at last every evening
was wasted in ridiculous par0dies
of parliamentary and Masonic
FORMS. The worst passions Of the
freedmen were appealed to and
their trueSt friends denounced, IN
order. as it soon proved, that, by
controlling the colorcd sentiment,
the leader might command the in
f1ucncc and secure the trade ofthe
white politicians ofthe State. And
yet this ruling spirit Of the leagues
was a man so entirely unedacated
that he could not have been elected

STRUCK BY LI0HTNIEG.-Ab0Ut
S o'clock last night there was 4
vivid streak Of Ii lightning, followed
almost instantancously by q very
severe clap Of thunder, which, We
felt sure had struck near our
office. in the heart Of the city.
We soon aftcrward learned that
the electrid fluid was discharged
under the porch Of St. Michael's
Church, in Meeting street, in the
midst Of a group Of ladies and gen
tIcmcn. who were standing there
at the same time out Of the rain,
and waiting for the cars. Our in
formant, who was Of the number,
stated that the fluid burned the
shoes Of several Of the persons,
set fire to the dresses Of two or
three ladies. and hurled one Of the
gentlemen into the middle Of the
Street. Strange to say no injury
was sustained by any Of the par
ties, as far as we could learn, be-
vond the shock, and a slight singe-
inc one Of the most miraculous
escapes we have ever heard of:

TOUCHING INCIDENT.-The feel
ing entertained by the negroes to-
ward the whites in the South is:
says the Boston Post, unQuestion-
ably one Of affection, and were
they not melted to jealousy and
hostility by the Hunnicutts, In
derwoods, BrownIows and other
resident and itinoronU ugitatorS,
the two races would live amicabIy
enough. A Lynchburg paper re-
lates that a gentleman Oh his way
to visit the grave Of a younger
brother, who died in the Confeder-
ate service, discovered just as he
reached the gate Of the cemetery
three former servants Of the family
approaching the grave with flowers
and evergrcens in their hands.
Keeping out Of their view he
watched them until they reached
the grave, when one Of them
climbed over the iron railing, took
the flowers and cvcrgrcens from
his companions and laid them
tcndcrly on the grave Of lis for
mer young master. Scenes like
this arc rot uncommon in the
South, but under the influence Of
insidious agitation and harrangUes
they are likely to give way to
such riots as have endangered the
lives Of citizens in Richmond.

STEVENS AND KELLT.-The Al
bany Ecening Jom"al, after depre-
eating the "confscation" scheme
of Thad. Stevens and the infam-
matory speeches Of Judge Kelly,
says
Let us hope that we have heard
the last Of this unwise and mis-
chievous crusade, and that hence
forth the people Of the South will
be approached III a more friendly
and moderate temper. There is
no reason why the processes Of re-
construction should not 60 forward
rapidly and harmoniousIy, unless
the ultra lnarplots continue to
interfere by teachings calculated
to make one class arrogant and
aggressive, and the other class
desperate and resistant.

Convention, or no Convention.

AO11V SAAIAO41, VI A4O NOl1 VCA4IAOiia
Governor Perry has published a
letter in his worst style and worst
temper, urging the people Of the
State to vote against a convention.
We can sympathize with and fully
comprehend the bitter disappoint-
ment and allits train ofirritations,
suffered by this gentleman at hav-
ing snatched from his grasp, in the
very moment Of their fruition, the
luscious harvest Of his labors and
his hopes. But how can Mr.. Perry
fail to see in the political doctrines
Of the day, consolidation and uni
versal suffrage, the logical sequence
Of the ideas which placed him so
long, so honestly and so fearlessly,
in opposition to the old South Caro-
lima Democracy.
But we have to do with the
future and not the past. Mr.. Perry
says that We are led by our fears
Of confscation to adopt a policy
which will lead to coniscation and
the surrender Of the State Govern
ment into the hands Of the negro
race. We think there is no reason
to fear confScation in either con-
tingency. Congress has not the
power to confscate lands, nor has
a State or a people under the con-
stitution. Article Fifth Of the
amendments Of the constitution Of
1889; declares that no person shall
be deprived Of life; liberty or pro-
perty, without due process Of law.
So long e VIC remain under the
military law Of conquest. to which
permanent condition Nr. Perry
would consign us by his counsels:
we are not under the constitution
and not protected by its provisions:
but the moment we enter into q
state government legally authori-
zc6, he mantle Of its protection
is thrown over Us, and no person
can be deprived Of his life, liberty
or property: but by due process Of
law. 1t is for this protection, that
we enter earnestly upon the work
Of reconstruction, on the only
terms accorded US. Upon con-
viction Of treason, it IL true, the
property Of the few 1Mpardoned
rebels in the State, might be for
feitcd to the United States. for the
lives Of the offenders, but this
would hardly be sufficient to excite
the cupidity Of the lawless in re-
constructed State, while the rea1i-
est way to incito to the prosecu
ton of such cases, would be to
adopt the contumacious course
prescribed by Governor Perry.
Now, if Mr.. Perry has any reason
able grounds to hope that the
State can be carried at the next
election againsta Convention, how
much moro reason is there for
hoping, as we do, that we can
carry the election for members Of
convention upon a sound and
safe platform, which will secure Il
lust and moderate constitution
and government: offering due pro-
lection to all the people Of the
State. Mr.. Perry twits the quon-
dam secessionists with leading off
in favor of q conventiOn.-We ac-
ccpt the imputatiOn, and thank
him for the valuable testimony he
thus bears, to the wisdom and
moderation Of that long-sullering
and much reviIed people-Ofwhom
some day it will be said "thcse are
they who como out Of great tribu
lation. Camden Journal.

rian Emigrants.
| The G0lconda, Captain B. Low
EFT, the packet ship Of the Ameri-
! can Colonization Society, arrived
| in this city on Saturday, and took
! her position at Marshall's wharf:
We paid her a visit yesterday,
and we're pleased to find her in
every respect superior vessel
Although not built for an emigrant
ship, she is admirably adapted for
the purpose, and can comfortably
carry $50 to 700 emigrants. She
is handsome vessel, heavily
SPARED, having round stern and
tapering bow, and sits gracefully
on the water. She was built in
Warren, Maine, in 1858, but has
undergone a most thorough re-
pairing since her purchase by the
Society, and now has a height Of
seven to eight feet between decks,
and three large ventilators. and
three hatches, which afford sutd-
cient ventilation. Her cookingap-
raratus is Of the first order, and IS
capable Of cooking, at the same
time, a barrel Of salt meat, with
rice or potatoes, and baking d bar
rel Of -four into bread.
At the time Of our visit, Mar
shaIl's Wharf presented q pictu-
rescue appearance, as the .en1i-
grants were bidding their friends
farewell and preparing for their
long voyage. Steps had been ar
ranged to lead from the vessel to
the wharf, and the colored dam
sels were assisted to and from thc
boat by their attentive beanX.
The cmigrants were in the high
est spirits, and spoke Of the. prom
ised land as the Old country, and
seemed to anticipate pleasant
and successful trip.
The G0lcohdn cleared at the Gus
tom House yesterday with 800
emi3rants, which is only a moiety
Of those whose names were regis
tered, 1900 having agreed to 60 to
the land Of sugar and palm oil, but
were induced to Change their
minds by the recent political move
ments-the right to vote: and the
foolish belief that Congress would
yet give them land.
Mr.. William CoPpInger, the Sec
retary OF the ASSOCIATION, IS now
in this city, and is engaged IN tor
warding the interests OF the So
ciety. He has nearly. completed
his arrangements, and If the wind
