CHERoKEE.-This place has well sustained its
former reputation during the past winter, in its
yield of gold dust. 1t is undoubtedly one of the
most rich and extensive placer mining sections in
the State, and promises to be the most permanent,
unless of the idle capitol of the State shall be
induced to pour food of water along its extern
sive banks. 1t will be seen by our correspondence
on the first page, that those operating with a view
of bringing water to this famous mining locality
have not been able to perfect their arrangements
within the period originally contemplated. 1t does
not follow however that the project is abandoned
We learn from those interested that there is no dis
position to cease their efforts for its accomplish
ment. They are satisfied in their minds, that
water brought to Cherokee Flat. will there change
into gold dust and be continued on to San Francis
CO and New York for years to come. There are
some places in the interior of California where it
is quite as safe to invest capital as in San Francis
co, and Cherokee is of those places 1t is true
that capitalists should be the judges in snch cases.
as the risk of the Investment is their own; yet all
will admit that, bat for successful mining opera
tions, there would have been but very little capital
to invest in San Francisco, or elsewhere on the
Pacific coast. San Francisco might benefit herself
for the substantial prosperity of that city and the
permanent valne OF property therein, depends to a
great extent upon the prosperity of the interior of
the State. In times of depression elsewhere it
may be preferable by comparison to invest in San
Francisco outside lands; yet that can scar cely be
considered safe, unless supported by the general
prosperity of the State. 1t is, however, admitted
That investments of the character required at Cher
okee, should be determined by the simple PROPOSE
ton whether ii will in itself prove remunerative
That is the only question to be determined, and in
this Instance, disposed to believe that every
possible assurance of its safety is at hand. 1t is
gratifying to know that, although they may be de-
hyed by inopportune unsteadness in the money
market it is by no means abandoned Cherokee
will yet be made to give up its immense mineral
deposits. and pour steady stream into the channels

The SCOTCH RARSDI AND A NEGRO

About the end of the last century, was
called to attend meeting of the Church
of Scotland, in Edinburg. The call being
hurried, had no time to write to any Of
my brethren for the needful funds, [ re-

and after pushing on for an hour or two,

man on horseback, leading in his hand
another horse.N Having come up with the
rider, | began to be afraid, and trembled
when | saw that the man was quite black.
You must remember [ was young man
and Highlander, and though 1 had heard
of the black man of the Indies, as had
never heard any black man having been
ever seen in that neighborhood before,
except the devil, who was believed to as
sumo that appearance, [ was not without
some doubts of this strange apparition,
and for some time l narrowly watched the
man and his movements. Having ventur-
ed to accost him, I perceived that he was
eager for conversation, when was carried

side of the road. AT length having told
him was going to Edinburg, the black
man replied that he was bound thitherward
also, and offered me the horse that he led
This was glad to accept, inwardly thank
ing Providence for having thus favored
me with such good fortune.
1t turned out that the black man was
the servant Of rich Jamaica planter, who
was at that time home on visit to High
land friends, and that the spare horse was
for the master, who had gone forward a
day in advance of the horseman, to enjoy
a walk through the Highlands.
When the night was coming down and
we had entered the bleak hill country, we
left the main road and struck up through
the hills, expecting to find some human
habitation, where we might spend the
night; but, after pursuing our errand
for some time without anything appearing
to meet our desire, we came to halt, aud
having no other resort, set about making
preparations for spending the night in
the open air. Willing to make one more
effort for the sake of the beasts, proposed

of the light, l at once retraced my steps
down the hill. We now remounted and

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
"This do in Remembrance of Me-"
Allpraise to him of Nazareth,
The Holy one who came,
For love of man, to die death
Of agony and shame.
Dark was the grave but since he lay
Within its dreary cell,
The beams of heavens eternal day
Upon its threshold dwell.
He grasped the iron veil, he drew
Its gloomy folds aside,
And opened to his followers view,
The glorious world they hide.
In tender memory of his grave
The mystic bread we take,
And muse upon the life he gave
So freely for our sake.
A boundless love he bore mankind,
0, may at least part
Of that strong love descend and find
A place in every heart.

Out of the Shadow into the Sunshine.

Ellen Wharton sat on her low window
ledge, looking thoughtfully out into the
deepening twilight. Her meditations were
not pleasant, for when her aunt entered
the room with lamp, she turned round a
face wet with tears. ''No bad news from
home, l hope, Ellen" said her aunt, tax
ing up the letter which lay in her lap.
Nothing more than usual" she replied,
"except that Henry is determined to leave
home. He is getting very wild, mother
says, and she writes very despondently too,
about her own health, and about George
and Susie. They are moody and unhappy,
she says, hardly blame Henry" said Ell
len, wiping away fresh tears, ''for leaving
such a dark, sad home. l always picture
it in contrast with this pleasant home as
anything but happy. And that is the
place for me now, dear aunt She contin-

Her aunt tried to persuade her to re-
main, but child almost, as che was, her
will-in this instance because her belief
was strong.
That day week found her at home. It
was late one evening in the fall, as she
paused in the gateway of her old home,
and looked at the neglected walk, and bare
untrimmed shrubbery, up to the dark
house, from one Of whose chimneys only
there arose mere film of smoke, the only
sign of life about the dreary place. Be-
fore she reached the door, quick steps rus
tied up the leaf-covered walk behind her,
and George. her younger brother, threw
his arms about her neck.

WE SHALL BE FORGOTTEN,

Unmatched the garden Dough shall sway, .
The tender blossoms 'futter down,
Unloved that beech will gather brown,
The maple burn itself away.
Unloved, the sundower, shining fair,
Lay round with flames her disc of seed,
And many a rose carnation feed
With summer spice the humming air.
Unloved, by many sandy bar,
The brook shall babble down the plain,
AT noon, or when the lesser vain
Is twisting round the polar star.
Uncared for, grid the windy grove,
And food the haunts of hern and brake
Or into silvery sorrows break
The sailing moon in creek or cove.
Till from the garden and the wild
A fresh association blow,
And year by year the landscape grow
Familiar to the stranger child.
As year by year the laborer tills
His wonted glebe, or lops the glades;
And year by year our memory fades
From all the circles of the hills.

the surface break forth in an eruption,

A Touching Passa sc.

How eloquently does Chateaubriand re-
ply to the inquiry, SIS there God?'
"There is God ! The herbs Of the
valley, the cedars Of the mountains bless
Him; the insects sport ia His beams; the
elephant saiutes Him with the rising orb
Of day; the thunder proclaims Him in the
Heavens; the ocean declares His immen-
sity; man alhne has said, ''there is no
God" Unite in thought at the same in
slant the most beautiful objects in nature;
suppose you see at once all the hours of
the day and all the seasons of the year; a
morning of spring and morning Of au-
tumn; night bespangled with stars and
a night covered with clouds, meadows en-
ameled with flowers and hoary with snow;
fields gilded by tints of autumn; then alone
you will have a just conception Of the I'M
iyerse. While you are gazing upon that
sun which is plunging under the vault of
the West. another observer admires him
emerging from the giEded gates of the
East. By what uncomfortable magic does
that aged star which is sinking fatigued
and burning in the shade Of the evening,
reappear at the same instant, fresh and
humid with the rosy dews of morning !
At every instant of the day the glorious
orb is at once rising, resplendcnt at noon
day, and setting in the West; or rather
our senses deceive us, and there is, prop
erly speaking, 10 East, West, North or
South in the world Everything reduces
itself to single point, from whence the
King of Day sends forth at once n triple
light in one substance. The bright splen-
dor is perhaps that which nature can pre-
sent that is most beautiful, for while it
gives US an idea Of the perpetual magnifi
cence and resistless power of God, it exhi-
bits at the same time the shining image of
the glorious Trinity"

Declines the Honor.

A CARD.-Having seen my name pub
lished in the American Union, of Harri-
sonburg, as a delegate to the convention
to be held in Richmond on the 1st day Of
August, I beg leave most respectfully to
decline acting in that porsitlon. | have
always been free man, and take pleas
ure now in saying that [ sympathized cor.
daily with my white friends Of the South
in their late unfortunate struggle, so that
I might be called "a rebel colored man."
Ny political opinions, SO far as [ have been
capable of forming them, are in favor Of
the strictest conservative principles and
justice. | wish the white people Of the
South to retain all the privileges they ev-
err possessed in voting and in holding of
their property free from, coniscation; and
whilst |, Of course, wish to see my own
race advanced in intelligence and wealth,
90 not desire this to be done unjustly at
the expense OF the whites who have al
ways treated me kindly. [ have been born
and raised among the Virginia people,
and will be guilty of no act which tends
to strike them down or degrade them. I
am not member of the Union League,
nor can | consent to act with that party in
their movements [ would advise all in
telligent colored people to vote with the
white conservatives. They have to live
in the South, and the conservatives are
their best friends Let us avoid collisions.
Let US harmonic with our true friends. -
Yoa can trust the best people in the South.
The Yankees, if they get a good chance,
will Do as they did in Massachusetts,. =
i'he radicals only want the vote Of the col
ored people. They want power to prevent
the restoration of the Union and peace.
Have not our intelligent friends, the con-
servatives, shown willingness to help us?
Have they not helped to build our church
es and school houses in the South? Why
should well-disposed colored men in the
South seek to enslaye and injure and OPP
press their white friends viii it do them
any good? Will it make the white peo-
pie their friends VIII they not, if we
make ourselves their enemies, employ
men and women Of their own color, to the
exclusion of our race?
