Strange Death Of Cattle.

by strange disease between forty aud
filtv head of fine three year old steers

Macon County Gold.

The fact of the existence of gold in
Macon county, has at last been placed
beyond a peradvcntue. This morning
we had a conversation with Judge Eas-
ly, NJ. G. Williams, Morgan Williams,
Leroy Haynes and others, who have
personally inspected the ground and ex-
amined the gold found, and they assure
us it is found in paying quantities. And
also by John McQuay and Mr.. Cath
am, who are willing to be qualified that
gold can be found in quantities equal to
the California. mines. Joseph Caldwell
also adds histeStimony. These are all
old California miners, whose words are
as good as their bonds. Everybody IN
Macon county knows these men and
viii vOuch fOr what they say.
On Monday next q large party of our
citizens will leave for the upper Chari-
ton where the gold is found. We will
send trusty reporter and will be res
ponsible for any statement he NAV
make.-Macon Pilot,

to have said in the heat Of the recent
kentucky canvass that he hoped the
first act ofthe democratic House of

be to abolish the office of Lieutenant
General and stop Sheridan's salary.
