| famous Conrad Hill mine, which was
proftably wrought for many years by
that most far-secing, brOad-mlnded
| business man the State has ever known,
Gov. Morehead. is under examination
with a prospect of sale. Two or three
| promising vein mines have been opened
near Thomasville, but it is too early TO
Judge how they will pan out.
The old Russell Nine" after being
reftted with machinery and ample
buildings and making a short run, IS
again silent. At the famous christian
Nine" where $500, 600 of nuggets were
picked out of the gravel in a small ra-
vine, within a length of 30 yards, large
expenditures have been made in ma
chinery and canaling. &c, but no actual
mining has been done, and every thing
is abandoned to decay and rust. And
so Of the Bunnel Mountain enterprise,
near the mouth of the Uwharrie Riv-
er. Some little patchy gravel mining
is done in the region with wheelbarrow
and hand-rocker, and occasionally a
nugget Of twenty, forty or sixty dollars
is picked up. Near the foot of the
Bunnel Mountain [ was shown a small
excavation, less than a square rod and
about twenty inches deep, from which
had recently been washed a handful of
gold Jumps ranging from the size of a
pea to that of a hazlenut. These gold
gravels are spread around the
tanks Of the little mountains along the
Uwharrie for about twenty miles, and
are In places very rich. y company
Gen. Garfield and others has recently
purchased about 400 acres of these beds,
N Beaverdam Greek, in Montgomery
county, and under the intelligent and
energetic superintendent of a Califor-
Tia partner, who is an experienced mi
Ter, are making preparations for an ex-
ensive hydraulic operation. This
better than anything in the
of mining that has yet been under
AIKEN in the region. 1t is proposed to
ring the water for fuming from the
yadkin River, a distance of four or five
niles, in IN iron pipe, after the manner
f California hydraulics.
The new mines about the Pilot noun
ain, on Deep River, in Randolph coun-
Y, have excited considerable interest,
nd one of them is reported to have
cen sold at a good figure within a few
avs. But the mere selling of mines or
mineral properties is worth very little
S an indication of progress in mining
Industries. In fact the bane of legiti-
late mining in this State has always
mining speculation.
We will hope better things, however,
t the present movement. And the
act hat the attention of distant CAPT
and of experts from the Pacific
Dast has at last been attracted, is a
God omen. These men commonly
lean business. And the various pro-
esses recently patented for working
llphuretted ores, and for the amalga-
latiOn of free gold, furnish additional {
Encouragement. Some of them will
oubtless prove successful. And mil /;

An Historical Contribution from
Gen. Cox.

In another column will be presented
an article. written in compliance with
repeated request of friends, graphically
describing the last charge at Appomat-
tox, an episode that must eve shine as
the single brilliant gleam amid the
storm Of Disaster, and Defeat, ever
though, like the expiring flashes of a
great confagration it chiefly serves to
deepen the gloom of the shadows sue
| ceeding. The Last charge while
vain and valueless in point of results,
yet deserves to be distinctly noted and
preserved for the historian, as a testi-
monial to the fact that at least one
Division of Lee feeble "People" This
usual term maintained its courage, its
discipline, and its pride of organization,
to the latest hour; and that this was
especially true Of the North Carolina
troops. To appreciate their heroism
it must be remembered they fought
without Hope, and simply for Duty;
they knew the war was over, and that
any sacrifice Of life or limb would be
utterly vain. Yet not a man faltered,
and many fell
We talked, the other day, with the
last survivor of four brothers, two of
whom yielded up their lives during the
seven days preceding Gen. Lees sur
render. For four years they had escaped
the perils of the bloody field, but on the
2nd, and 7th, of April, 1860, they were
slain while fighting m~anfully. How
easy to have shirked, to have ''dodged'
aside, to have simulated sickness and
have gone struggling homeward,
whining of a Rich Mans war, and
Poor mans fight = But these young
observation-disclosures, of Halifax while

Gen. Cox writes in a spirit of candor,
md moderation as well as very modest
considering the distinguished part
by himself, individually, in this
inal conflict of arms. Among other
he neglects to mention the COM

O PRINTING
COMMUNICATED,
The Gold v

Undoubtedly there is a notable revi-
val of interest in Southern gold mines.
1t is worth while, however, not to run
ahead of the facts.
There is but little revival of legiti-
mate mining as a business. There is a
stir and buzz of speculation, and much
inquiry, and a few sales of property,
and some exploiting. One meets pros
pecting parties every day in the middle
gold region, Davidson, Randolph and
Montgomery, travelling in every direc-
ton, on foot and on wheels, by twos
and threes-ex California miners, ex-
merchants, ex-everything. Some of
them have purchased, and a few are
preparing for work, more to sell again.
The only money that has been made SO
far has gone into the pockets of the
sellers, and not of the workers. Some
of the most noted of the old famous
mines of the last generation have pass
ed into the hands of new owners within
the past two or three years, and expen-
sive machinery has been erected, for
the most part injudiciously, and with
little reference to the character of the
ore to be worked, or to other essential
business conditions.
And so one finds new engines in new
houses, with pipes and hose and fumes
and reservoirs, standing idle and aban-
doned, in the midst of wide tracts of
paying g~ravels, or along side of immense
lodes of workable ores. In a few cases,
batteries of stamps and CHILEAN mills
are at work Oh about to start but gen
orally where the batteries are, the
CHILEAN wheels would serve better. and
vice versa. And then the old eternal
deliberations about titles come in to
complicate and unsettle every thing.
Some of the big mines that were
proftably wrought before the war by
Col. Fisher have been sold and reopen
ed, but are either actual or imminent
failures; and this with great hills of
ore, hat under intelligent and skillful
supervision of trained mining engineers
would pay good dividends for an indeti-
mite time. Silver Hill has been sold
for a fine price, and reopened and fur
nished with excellent machinery, and
has seemed to start off with good pros
poets, and some thousands of tons of
rich ore have been brought to the sur
face but a law suit about title has put
an arrest upon its career, as is usual in
such cases. 1t is an astonishing thing
that every acre of land in North Caro-
Ina that proves to have mineral on
it, has at least a dozen owners, although
unknown to the public or to
themselves previously.
