tEna9EfEt3 6o1D MINES AND RAIL.
ROADS gs -Of oonfse most of our people
have heard o good deal of the Faulkner.
Qaatt!ebanm. and Landrum gold mines,
or rather gold lands, some three or four
miles above Meeting Street. Mining
upon these lands has been begun from
time to time within the past ten or twelve
yesrs, butsowing to the war, and the
consequent confusion and want of capi.
tai, but little has been effected. Re.
peated examination of the veins md
spectmens, however. have strengthened
the belief that untold wealth lies buried
IN this favored region. Aud of this opin-
ion is a Mr.. Wi1kie, an enterprising
Northern man, OF Schenectady, New
York, the latest individual who has
looked into tho matter. MIR. Wilkie has
been on visit to the gold region lately,
and is so we'll satisfied with what he saw
that he has leased these lands for long
period, and returned to the North to
MAKE preparations for working the mines.
And he has also 30 thoroughly convinced
one OF our most practical and long
headed citizens that there is money in
tins undertaking as to induce the said
citizen-Dr. D. O. Tompkins-to be-
come party to the enterprise. We all
know that it is not one of DR.. Us woak.
nesses to take up with financial bubbles;
hence We think we'll of the prospects OF
the Faulkner. Observation-Disclosures.
Wilkie-T e-Tompkins Gold Mining and
Prospecting Company, or whatever it
shall be called.
And then, as these gold fields lie in or
near the route of the proposed Ninety
six, EdgeReld and Aiken Railroad, we
shall have Northern capitalists coming
to our aasistance-heaviIy, We hope.
Aud this hope is 1.-The moro 1attering in
view OF the fact that our own people are
at las. alive and at work in the railroad
matter: Mr. Reese is operating ener.
getically in the Ninety six region. where
he has been so successful that his $50, 600
OF one month ago has now swollen into
$4,000. $751; more, and we organ

now now an inexorable necessity with U.s.

arising ont OF one of the Incidents of the
late war between france and Germany,
will shortly be brought to trial in the
French courts. Duri1g the war. . Ger.
man soldier was shot near the village of
Vaux, whereupon Prussian column
swept down on the place and captured
twenty-eight peasants who had fled for
refuge to church. The Prussiaus, de-
termined to have revenge for the death
OF the slain soldier, announced to the
frightened oaptives that three Of their
number would be shot. leaving the seleo.
ton OF the victims to the prisoners. The
Prussisns proposed that they should
draw lots, and kindly offered them the
use OF q soldiers helmet for the purpose
OF an urn, but the offer was declined.
Finally, after they had been shut up in
the church for seventy-five hours, they
reported the three required victims had
been selected by majority. though no
information ia given ns to how the selec
ton was made. The unfortunate men,
finding themselves in minority, were
led out and shot, and now their widows
demand damages from the twenty. Ave
survivors, on the ground that the three
should havo been selected by lot.

eAMEN DIE OF BRA1N-WoRRY, Nor
BRAIN, WoRK. Nervous health is one
thing, and moral health. but purely
physical health is quite another and dif.
ferent thing. Calm and steady mental
work is conducive to long life; but ner-
vous emotion, mental work that is con-
stant urging, and at the same time, is an
unhinging OF the even tenor of the
mind, eats away the brain faster than
any mental labor, no matter how hard,
that is systematic. As men do not really
die OF heart disease as often as supposed,
but Of apoplexy or congestion Of the
lungs, so they do not die of brain-work,
but brain-worry. Scott died M it,
Southey, Swift, Horace Greeley, and
probably Thackeray.

We find the following suggestion in q
New York paper. It is not bad advice,
and Mr.. Sanford, of Florida, has taken
few on trial:
WHAT TO DO WITH THE IrA11ANs.-.
"do. South"-not "Go West"-should
be the motto of tho Italian lazzaroni
who have been landed pell-m at our
doors. Field labor is needed in the
Southern States, and the Southern eli.
nate will suit these freezing people bet
ter than tho ''eager air" of a Northern
winter: We agree with the Springfield
fepu6lican that the Southern planters,
who are disgruntled with sable, b: d bet
ter try the olive complexion. As mere
matter of speculation, it is probable that
the payment Of the travelling expenses of
a few hundreds out Of our 1000 Italian
vlsitors would be profitable investment
for Southern employers who are CON-
planning OF the want of labor. Very few
OF these fresh arrivals are skilled work
men. bat they could be advantageousiy
employed in outdoor labor in u softer
climate than that of tho North.

PRUSSIA HAUNTING ENGLAND. "A pro-
minent Prussian journal has lately been
taking England to task for imoecility OF
foreign policy. and for being out-manoeu-
vered by Russia and the United States.
This may be what oracular writer's call
'signihcant," or it may be only all indi.
reot way OF Dragging about the astute.
ness OF the German Cabinet. If Eng
land does foolish things, or allows her.
self to be ontwitted by other nations, it
is to be inferred that Germany does
none OF these things; therefore Germany
ia superior to England. That, we tuke

room on the third floor of Messrs

The damage to the building will amount
to about $1,000 or 81, 500, which is fully
insured. All the books and papers bo-
longing to the firm wore saved.
