Our Gold Fields.

In respect to her mineral wealth, South
Car lima has hitherto been terra 'ncogn,ta to
her people. After the war Of the revolution,
finding that their lands were admirably adapt
ed to the growth of cotton (then coming into
general use, owing to the improvements in its
manufacturer, the owners of the soil devoted
their energies and resources almost exclusively
to its cultivation, and content with the liberal
income it afforded them, thought little of de-
veloping the other sources of profit within
| in their footsteps; and, TO rn1s uujy; our whole
agricultural population pin their faith to the
cotton plant, grown on the ancient plan, to the
neglect of the advantages Of a more scientific
system of agriculture, of the latent value of our
virgin forests and unsurpassed water power,
and of the hidden mineral wealth abounding
in the bosom Of our soil. In the general 6ouls-
usrsement which the war has occasioned, these
resources are beginning to attract the attention
they deserve. 1t has long been known that
rich gold deposits lurked in some of our inte-
rior districts, and occasionally an accidental
discovery would richly reward some lucky
finder; but in the absence of any methodical
mining, the general result has been of little
moment. Now, however, we are glad to see
that efforts ere in progress in several sections
of the State, under the auspices of Northern
capitalists, 10 apply thorough test to the
richness and extent of the deposits Only
few days ago, Mr.. WM. ROACH, Charleston
merchant, received consignment Of ore from
the Orc gold mine, in Chesterfield District,
which was to be forwarded to New York. Ex-
tensive explorations are also being made in
York District and elsewhere, with hattering
prospects of success. A company now mining
near Charlotte, North Carolina, is already OBJ
tanning about one thousand dollars worth of
gold per day, and it is announced that in
short time the yield will probably be doubled.
The Dorm mine, in Abbeville District, some
years ago, as most of our readers will remem-
Der, attracted much attention; and the opinions
of practical mineralogists all strengthen the
belief that broad belt of country in our upper
districts covers rich veins of the precious metal
