The uruperty has been used for tifly years past as an uou property, and hasr been worked, at various uoiui-s, but chiefly at the site, of tne celebrated ' Yellow Kluge ure Bank, which, has always yielded au ore uotta for Its richness in metallic iron, and lis soilness and toughness. This vein , ot-ore, which extends lor two miles In length, has been worked to tne dept f 12 feet, shuwing at that depm a vein ot ore about 40 leet wide, anu analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic iron. . This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the f acts set lorth can oe luiiy shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits ot iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore in crowder's Mountain, (five veins of lion ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore, easily worked and above water, that must wane it one of tne most desiraole iron properties tone lound. They have discovered on the plnnaele of this mountain, wlueh' is iouO feet above the level land, ZOJO (eel above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom Of the mountain, show ing in one place aoout 20 feet ot solid vein. This yum can oe traced over the lop of the mountain for ever a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost iiiexhaustioie supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this four omcr veino b?ve been found on this mountain. Tue ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 19 to 65 per cent, of metallic Iron, with a small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or pnosphorua. The quantity of ore in this mountain is simply, inexhaustible and of, good quality.

President was declared, there- are" no visible signs of it, and the negroes seem to be about as weU satisfied ar everi The declarations of Governor Cleve land, Mr. J Hendricks, prominent Southern men and the Southern press, as well as the expressed opinions of some sensible' leading colored men, have no doubt had much to do in banishing those" unfounded fears. We do not think the color question LSL2LE2i.l?ne-,wlU-ever attam tne proportions of arroasTsStCrin the South now. There was a time when it- threatened trouble, and it might ultimately give trouble if the jmen who assumed the leadership o the colored people had remained in power in the national government, because they continually held the negro; ura state of expectancy of imagipary benefits A6ver to be realized. They talked "equality, civil rights, f social rights, just enough to make the coK ored people discontented ': with their present lot and hopeful of something, they . did not know exactly , what. Now these people will ceasj looking to. the Republican party as their jonly friend, rely upon themselves, and go to work to better their condition. They will learn, if they have' not already learned, that prosperity; will come to them not through the prom ' ises ' of deceptive i politicians. ! but through industry, labor and econo my, by earning and saving, so that they : may become the; possessors of property, ' and thus," by becoming identified with the " section in which they live, become interested "in,- its prosperity, in the passage of good laws, and in the election of good, and competent men : to make those laws. As a rule we believe the majority of them would now . rather "support white men for office, unless race feel ing be appealed to, than men of their own color. 'As a matter of fact they never did,", although holding a very large numerical majority in the. Re publican - party of the South, assert themselves and demand office as one would naturally suppose they would. They seemed to be ; satisfied 1 With what was offered them, trifling jBub- ordinate positions, and rarely aspired to anything else.; If they had jpeen fit they could have demanded nearly all the offices, to , which their rotes elected, s Asl they were not hungry for 'Office then, they will not be now, and the causes that banded them solidly in the Republican party hav- ing disappeared, they j will, cease to: act as a unit, and think even, less of politics than they did then.; heir votes will oe sougnt by rival candi dates for office, but they will besought not as black men,: butr simply as voters having certain intcreata," ai the votes of certain na.tionalitiea and classes ftps - BoVsou.ght in,Qther, sec tions.
