The expression Of sudden pang crossed
the fine countenance Of the stranger. Hii
lip ouivered, and his brow contracted into
momentary gloom but, with what was ap
parently strong effort, he subdued the
feeling, whatever it was, which had caused
this indication of mental pain, and replied
after brief pause
"No, Ellen, it cannot be. | must not
IL dare not enter Banf with the light o

Dare not.'' said Ellen, in surprise

Here tho conversation was interrupted
by the approach Of the rest Of the party,
who at this moment rode up to Ellet gld
her companion. These, on being tsld that
tie latter was now about to leave them, re-
peated, and in nearly similar word, the
invitation which Ellen bad already given
him; but it was not in similar words to
those he had used on that occasion. hs

they must act on the principles which that
revolution has established. Day by day new
recruits are coming into the camp of those
who would make the new South better,
richer, wiser and freer community than the
"old~South could hepe"to be. And ere long
the msjority of the Intelligent men of the
lately rebellious States will be acting with the
friends of equaf rights and of the nation
For South Carolina, Ifcbl authoMzdd to say,
that 'partisan press inspired by relics of
disloyal opinions and hopes, cannot be trusted
to represent fairly her political situation !;
that while she labors under political evils, she
is slowly but surely working herself clear Of
them and that the man who comes to us as
on Immigrant, whether The comes from Eu-
rope or front The North, will be welcomed to
her soil and her community, so long as he
shows himself worthy of such welcome.
The days of violeuce, in excess of that
(which exceptionally exists in other States
where the rule is observance of law, have, I
believe, passed away in South Carolina. The
laws are generally we'll executed; and there
are abundant grounds for hoping that ere
long large numbers of those seeking new
Ihomes will find tircm within her borders, and
tindf them profitable and happy.

Mcssrs. E0itors::--I regret exceedingly to
see the bitterness manifested hy the press OF
Soath Carolina toward Judge Orr, on account
of his recent Published letter on the 'sstua.
lttion."
TO view Judge 0rr's letter in atcam and
dIspassonate light, and with that spirit and
fairness that one should accord to another, on
occount of honest political differences of opin,
ion, | am sure at least that the rejecting por-
ltlon of those whodiffer with him would not
:attrihute to him other than the best motives
flor the public good'in putting forth his views
at this juncture of political affairs
Some of the Reformcrs in this County
frankly admit that they could carry more votes
in the present campaign under the banner of
Democracy than under that of the Reform
party, but that they arc committed now to
the latter movement, with certainty Of defeat
in the election Of State officers, and that as
soon as the race is over they will abandon the
| Reform platform and adopt that of the old
Democracy. Comment or such a position is
unnecessary.
Judge Orr abandoned the democratic par
'ty early in one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, OS68) in speech in Charles
ton, which drew down the wrath of some of
the editors Of South Carolina But, Messrs.
Edi ors, by what mode of reasoning does the
editorial fraternity and few leading men in
the State assume to themselves DBL the purify,
all the honesty, and all the disinterestod nat.
riotism in the and7
Judge Orr has as much right to his poiti.
cal opinions, and as much right to express
them, rs any other man in South Carolina.--
1t is to he presumed that he is as honest as
any Of those who denounce him. This illib.
oral proscriptive policy of the opposition to
the Republican party has tendency to widon
the breach between the two parties.
A good, honest old Democrat told me few
days ago, that the Democrats, soon after Gov.
SCOTS election, would Course him and apply
for Office; ana when they failed to get an
Office, would still curse him." "But," SAYS
he, "Judgo Orr is right, ard I shall vote
with him. lam tired trotting around after
Hon. So-andso, Gen. So-and So" &C., &c.
"Why, my FRIEND" says he, "au they want
is Office themselves, they don't care d--n
for anything else"
This is from one Of tho Democrats of 1868.
do not make such an illiberal charge against
the honorable gentlemen he alluded to. It
is made by one of their own party,
There is two sides to every question. T
will ventato the prediction that, six months
from today, majority of those who now ma.
lign Judge Orr will be the loudest 10 his
praise
Judge Orr's cool, sound Judgment and con.
ciliatory ,coure with the military authorities
after the war kept off Provost Courts and his
advocacy Of tho Homestead Law and other
measures that protected tho unfortunate
debtor class, and his sympathy for the distress
of the country, has given him hold upon
the affections Of the masses that all the de-
nunoiations Of the press Of South Carolina
cannot shake. Yours truly,

Could you make it whole by crying

And so make sunshine in the house,

Suppose your task, my little man,

Will it make it any easier

Andswouldn't it be wiser,

Suppose that some boys have horse,

JCsT OCR LUCK.-In October last we visited
Silver Park and secured the country round
about in search Of rich mines, unsuccessfully.
On the 9TH instant, a teamster named Brad
shaw, who formerly lived in this city, in
searching for cattle on q mountain few miles
southeast Of the Park, stumbled upon large
ledge literally filed with horn silver-;he low
est assay Of the ore going Sl,4OO. The
mountain in question rises from 200 10 ]. 500
feet above the level Of the Silver Park mines
is three miles southeast, and runs in a south.
easterly direction about six miles The south
side consists Of succession of cliffs Of quartz
lite, rising from 40 10 200 feet perendicularly
We wandered along these cliffs, above the
clouds, in October last, in company with VIM.
A. Roberts and Judge J. S. Crosman, Of
Treasure City; but not a sign of chloride
showed itself. We were all .atisfied, at the
time. that the quartzite was a deteriorated
continuation of the quartz belt of Silver Park
but we found nothing but barren rock.
Bradshaw has now struck, in the face Of one
Of those cliffs, a mass Of horn silver and rich
chloride ten feet vide and from 80 10 40 feet
long. Specimens sent us through express,
by the kindness Of s. G.. Steele and II. u.
Barnes, are very rich; and while we congratn-
late Bradshaw on his good luck. we do no feel
indignant enough at our i'll luck 10 reject n
deed to a few feet Of the ground. The strike
created quite an excitement ut Silver Park,
and a stampede took place. which resulted in
a large number OF locations.-i Whit, Pin,

New MNEs-As IsDiAs The DlsoovEREK.-
Some three weeks ago, q bright and intelli-
gent son Of the prairie, Of the Shoshone tribe,
came 10 town in search Of w. G.. Seamands.
He had with him q magnificent assortment OF
silver ore, which he gave TO Senmnnds, and
requested that he should follow him TO the place
where he found it. The severe storms in the
mountains have thus for prevented their de-
parture, but in the course OF n week they will
leave for the mountain which is about 100
miles from Elko. This Indian prospccted
with SeamSnds three years ago in the Pahran-
hgat aud Belmont countries, and was the dis
coyerer Of Robinson district During Sea-
mands employ in the service, this Indian was
with him as guide and spy, and always proved
himself faithful and trustworthy. He Is a
good judge Of ore. and the samples he brough,
in are wonderfully rich in gold and silver, and
he says that there il n mountain Of the same
kind, with plenty Of wood and water in the
vicinity. The direction Of the quartz region
has not been made known, and will not be
until the company has visited 1t and secured
the mines.
