Gold Discoveries In Tennessee.

A correspondent oftho Louisville COur-
icr.JownaI, writing from GAINESVILLE
Tenn, says:
"Thc discovery Of gold in this state
along the Little Tennessee River, between
McGhecs Ferry and It's mouth, has ere
ated no little excitement in East TenncS'
see. Nearly fifty years ago Dr. Troost
Professor Of Chemistry and MinCrNlOgy
in the University Of Nashville, pub ltshed
a letter Descriptive Of the mincralogy OF
East Tennessee aud Of the gold regions Of
that section Of this state. This gentleman
believed at that time that the Tennessee
Ophir contained more gold than the A.
rican Ophir. lie described the gold region
M Wing ten or twelve miles south OF the
Tolico Plains, near the Unika Mountains,
in the Cherokee Indian settlement. lie
stated that the gold occurs in small
grains, generally called gold dust, and Is
obtained By the washing Of Il stratum Of
ten or twelve inches Of soil. II does not
appear to be brought from distance, but
to be produced by the disintcgration OF
the rock OF which those mountains are
composcd, ~ it il found not on y in the
small rivulcts or brooks, but also on the
dcclivitics OF the mountains and on the
very submits In speaking Of the geo
logical formation Of the country he says
These rocks belong to the series Of tran
stion, or rather to the clay slate iorma-
ton. This slate has been filled with tubes
Of iron pyritCs, which are now nearly IN
n state Of decomposition, leaving these
cavities filled with yellow ochrc. These
pyritcs are often aurifcrOu4, and the gold
not being susceptible Of decomposition
remains unaltcrcd, and Is disseminated
through the soil by the disintcgration Of
the rock, the lighter part Of which nre
carried away by the rains, leaving tue
heavier ones still remaining Who

Gen. Grant evidently thinks there
is magic in these words; hence. his
message last.week to Congress, urg.
ing the appropriation of $250,000 FOR
the purpose Of changing smooth-b bore
cannon into rifles, and providing guns
of still larger calibre for the arma-
ments of our forts.
It is, indeed. pleasant to know we
live in a country whose financial con-
dition is so easy that the chief exec
utive advises Congress to make this
appropriation. But, laying irony
aside, it is evident to every thinking
mind that the American people make
a great mistake in elevating to the
Presidency military man instead of
a statesman. Gen. Grant knows a
great deal about forts, ornaments,
armies, and all things which pertain
to war. If we lived in an age OF
chivalry, he might be a suitable man
for a chieftain; but in this age, all
lovers Of peace and constitutional
government will look with anxious
concern upon everything that can
be construed into an effort for

The Louisiana middle had a de-
sign in it. or rather the sending OF

Spain and the message asking Con-
gress to make this appropriation all
look the same way,-a third term

NECESSITY OF PERSISTENT
LABORS.

The great trouble with most Of the
American people is. they are not
willing to labor and to wait" They
are in hurry to get rich. The
farmer exhausts his soil in raising
wheat he thinks will realize the most
money in the quickest time possible;
and the result is the people are get
ting poorer ever year by not laboring
systematically. Young men are not
willing TO be farmers. or mechanics.
because tile time will be too long
before they can arrive at aff1uence.
Hence they seek to better their con-
dition by getting situations" or
engaging in business" So the
world moves, and the aggregate
amount of poverty. discomfort, mis-
cry and dishonesty increases instead
Of diminishing. The laws of Ger
many compel their young men to
serve an apprenticeship at some
trade or business. This teaches them
to be expert and self-reliant. Where
