Gold Discoveries in Tennessee.

A correspondent of the Courier Tour
nal, writing from GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
says: "The discovery of gold in this
state along the Little Tennessee River,
between McGhee's Ferry and it's mouth,
has created no little excitement in East
Tennessee. Nearly fifty years ago DIR.
Troost, Professor of Chemistry and
Mineralogy in the University of Nash
vile, published 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 thai the Tennessee Ophir con
tanned more gold than the African Ophir.
He described the gold region as lying
ten or twelve miles south of the Telico
Plains, near the Unika mountains, in
the Cherokee Indian settlement. He
stated that the gold occurs in small
grains, generally called gold dust, and
is obtained by the washing of a stratum
of ten or twelve inches of soil. It does
not appear to be brought from dis
lance, but to be produced by the disin-
tegration of the rock of which those
mountains are composed, as it is found
not only in the small rivulets or brooks,
but also on the declivities of the noun
tains and On their very SUBMITS" In
speaking of the geological formotion Of
the 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
pyrites, which are now nearly in a state
of decomposition, leaving these cavities
filled with yellow ochre. These pyrites
are often auriferOus, and the gold not
being susceptible of decomposition re-
mains unaltered. and is disseminated
through the soil by the disintegration
of the rock, the lighter particles of
which are carried away by the rains,
leaving the heavier ones still remain
ing" Who knows but the recent dis
coveries made may prove to be source
otinexhaustible wealth to the people of
East Tennessee2 It is a well known
fact that in every part of the world the
transition formation, which appears so
frequently III Tennessee, abounds in
rich mines Of various descriptions.
Since in the recent war DEVELOPMENTS
of minerals of all sorts have been
constantly seen, and the addition of
gold discoveries to the almost innum-
cradle sources of mineral wealth to that
section will mark it as not only the Italy
of America, but almost equal as min
ing region to the mines of Lead Hills
and Wanlockhead, the gold mines of
Vopspoteck, IN Pennsylvania, and the
celebrated lead mines, rich in silver, of
Brittany. in France. DR.. Troost, in
mentioning the mineral resources of
Tennessee, says: This rich metallic
formation I found to commence about
Sparta and to continue beyond the linn
it's of our state. OF it's richness in me-
tai evidences are here and there to be
seen, as for example on the lands of
Mr.. Meredith, in Roane county, and
near DR.. Moore's and on the plantation
Of Judge I. Peck, in Jefferson county"

MRS. CHARLES.

Forth to thy work from morn to right.
Though fog and din thy path would be;
Whilst at home upon the height
Would work. and rest, and wait for thee.
But now along the way OF life
Through dust and dim my path must be-,
Whilst thou, above all mists and strife,
Waitest at Home, on high, for nae.

No murmur ever left my lips
I will not sigh DER dreary days"
Though darkened by the lights eclipse.
A Presence wraps me everywhere,
The Presence in which thou art blest;
The Face, the Sun of Worlds is there,
Yet bright to us the glistening west.
The work is good, the way is right
But yet, think an hour shall be
At evening on the home-like height
Which viii be morn to thee and me.

THERE is an old story about a clergy
man leaving his parrot, squirrel and
monkey in q room together, and return
ed to find that a terrible tripartite fight
had occurred. The feathers had been
pulled from the back of the parrot, the
monkey had lost pieces of flesh from
various parts OF his body, and the squir-
rel's tail had been bitten of. The par
rot was perched disconsolately on
the back of chair, and, upon the
entrance Of the clergyman, it explained
in pitiful tone, ''Wo've had hell of
time" S

HOW IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT.
The Alumni Association Of the Law Dspar

The Alumni Association Of the Law Depart
ment Of Howard University Dissolved.
The above association met in the laW.room OF
Howard University last evening, pursuant to an
adjourned meeting Of the sth inst.
After the minutes were read and approved Mr..
John H. Cook, treasurer, and one who had been
put in nomination for the presidency, asked to
have section 8 declaring how the constitution
may be amended) read, as he wished the assocIa-
tion TO have greater latitude in many respects,
as to allow all graduates Of the several depart
ments to join.
Mr.. ]. W. Cromwell, who had from the first
evening perslstently opposed Mr.. Straker, offered
a melton to rescind the vote by which the constl-
tuition was adopted.
The meeting being impressed that the motion
was for the purpose Of amending the constitution,
and, taken unaWares, adopted the resolution.
Mr.. Cromwell Immediately asked the CHAIR to
rule whether the association was not by his reso-
luton disestablished. The CHAIR ruled yes
Mr.. Straker, president, seeing for the first time
the political demagoguery Of Mr.. Cromwell, left
the chair and declared the meeting dissolved and
the respective Offices disestablished. Many OF
his friends requested him not to abandon the
chair, but he perceiying that the plot was aimed
at him refused any longer to serve. This pro-
ceeding, so unhecoming graduates of a university,
will be especially painful to Prof. LangstOn, who
is now in Philadelphia. Mr.. Straker is respected
in the community, ard his friends will consider
that he did the right thing.
