Hampton roads by the Confederate ram

work on the deck ten years having in
view the recovery Of this safe, The

forty. y.eight hours when he found this state
buried in three or four feet of mud. The
water at that place is seventy>eigh feet

safe was cracked and when it was hoisted
on deck a few pieces of gold coin dropped
out. 1t is generally believed the safe con.

VENGEANCE.
Murder Of Larkin Selser.

Our readers will remember that re.
Gently the arrest Of the Mullinses, in
Wise County, and others in other con,
ties in the S. West. charged with
making counterfeit money, was efIec-
ted through Larkin Selser, who lives
near Nickelsville in Scott County. 1t
seems that Selser was detected and to
relieve himself, turned States evidence,
and revealed the number, names, and
whereabouts of his confederates. The
result Was vast number Of arrests,
some of the parties having been con-
victed at the present term of the Fed.
eral Court at Abingdon. Some six
weeks ago, Selser received letter in
forming him that if he would again
come to Wise. he could find certain
other evidences Of guilt against other
parties. Supposing the information
was given in good faith, he went, but
never returned. The letter proved to
be merely a decoy, and lead to his
murder, on the road between Osborn's
Ford, in Scott County, and Gladeville,
the county town of Wise. When he
had reached Jaybird Branch, eight
miles beyond Osborn's Ford he was
evidently shot by parties who were in
ambush. The shot was center one,
the ball cutting his hat band. The
body was left about 20 yards to the
left Of the road, and had been stripped
Of all the clothing except the shirt and
drawers, The horse was taken to the
right Of the road, where he was shot
and stripped. five weeks there
after, on Friday the 2Sth Of May, search
was made for his body. A boy named
Ramey haO been digging Gensing in
the woods, found the horse and draw
ing the shoes from his feet offered them
for sale, saying he had found the m on
a dead draft horse near the road. AS
no draft horse had been lost in that
region suspicion arose that the horse
was Selser's, and search was made al
once and the facts as detailed above
were revealed.
1t seems that when Selser left his
home near Nickelsville he had some
fears Of foul play, and told his wife il
anything happened to him on his trir
to have two certain men arrested. Liar.
kin Selser was aged about 80, has beer
twice married and has child by the
first marriage which resulted in q di
vorce. His last wife is from Kentucky
and We are not informed Whether sh,
has any children.-"BriStol Ne,rs'

Gold Discoveries in Tennessee

A correspondent Of the Louisville
COaricr-Journal, writing from Clarks-
vile, Tennessee, says:
"The discovery Of gold in this State
along the Little Tennessee River, be.
tween McGhee's Ferry and its mouth,
has created no little excitement in East
Tennessee. Nearly fifty years ago, DR..
Troost, Professor Of Chemistry and
Minearalogy in the University ofINash-
vile, published a letter descriptive Of
the mineralogy Of East Tennessee and
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 African
Ophir. He described the gold region
as laying ten or twelve miles south of
the Tellco Plains, near the Unaka
Mountains, in the Cherokee Indian
settlement. He stated that the gold
occurs in small grains, generally called
gold dust, and is obtained by the wash
ing of a stratum Of ten or twelve
inches of soil. 1t does not appear to
be brought from a distance, but to be
produced by the disintegration of the
rock Of which those mountains arc
composed, as it is found not only in
the small rivulets or books. but also on
the declivitles of the mountains and
on their very summits.'
In speaking Of the geological forma-
ton of this country he says: These
rocks belong to the series of transition.
or rather to the clay slate formation.
This slate has been filed with tubes of
iron pyutes, which are now nearly in a
state Of decomposition, leaving these
cavities filed with yellow ochre. These
pyrites are often auriferous, and tho
gold not being susceptible of decom-
position, remained unaltered, and is
disseminated through the soil by the
tlisintegration of the rock, the lighter
particles of which are carried away by
the rains, leaving the heavier ones
still remaining. Who knows but tho
recent discoveries made may prove to
be a source Of inexhaustible wealth tn
the people OF East Tonnessees'
