In 18GS the Stare of Georgia enacted a homestead law, similar in every respect to that enacted by the state of North Carolina in the same ; yean Tlie Supreme Court of Georgia rendered ja decision in effect the same as Uiai rendered by the.

It was first discover ed iu Connecticut, near New Loudon, on the premises of Gov. Winthrop,. and by him transmitted to llaus oloane, by whom it was deposited in the British museum. The next discovery was in Sweden, and is there called tantalum aud its ore tan- tulife. The Silver Ore is rich, and the ledge from which it is obtained is pronounced the largest and richest ever discovered in the Southern Slates. Dr. Council, of Boou, is one of the fortunate owners of this valuable property, and from him wc learn that indications of mineral wealth. are abundant in Watauga county. The Dr. will take pleasure in furnishing any informal ion desired, to those seeking m vcstmints in that direction. Piedmont Press. Lord Cornwallis Paiiolk Rom time ago says the Richmond H7i, of 19 h, inst we mentioned that Col. Thos. H. Wynne, of the State' Library' Committee, had purchased. in New York city the original of the parole given by Lord Corn- wallis on his surrender at Yorktown to Gen. Washington. Yesteiday this inter sting relic of the past was received at the library aud is as follows : "I, Charles Earl Corn wallis. Lieutenant General aud Commander of His Brittau- uick Majesty's forces, do acknowledge myself a prisouer of war to the United States of America, and having permission from His Excellency, Gen. Washington, agreeable j to capitulation, to proceed to New York and C'harlestown, or either, and to EuroDe. do uledeumv faith and word of honor, that I will not flo or say any Hung injurious to the sa d United States or armies thereof, or their allies, until exs changed ; I do further promise that when ever required by the CommanderiiirChief of the American army, or ihe Commissary of Prisoners for the same, I will repair to such place or places as they -or either o: them may require."

ECONOMY AS AX EXCUSlI FOU MtTKDEK One of the principal caii3es for. the loss of the ship may be set down to the lack of coal to reach this port II is a well known fact that the price of coal in Eng land is very high, aud that the trauslan tic lnes buy largely on ibis side, and en deavor to take over somuthiug of a sup ply to bring them back to this side. It is also true that much of the coal furnish ed at thc present time on the ollu r side is of a; very poor quality, and will not make 8 team as ireely as the v ejsh coals usually J furnished to t he first-class steam lines. Another cause for the disaster ia that the vessel was considerably out of her true course, either for Halifax or New York, and the Captain evidently! had been run ning well north to shorten up his longi tude. The practice has long been dis countenanced by the principal lines, and n some instances the captain positively forbidden to take the. high latitude route which the Atlantic evidently had taken. j THE BEAN TRADE. From Dr. Patrick, a prominent Rich mond merchant, well known in We-tern, N. we have received the following, which contains interesting aud profitable information to the farmeis in thia section : "We liave handed this season. 500 or 600busiels of Beans grown in your sec Hon, and would like yqu to give your people the benefit of our expeiience, whu-h i this : rarmers should grow for market, nhj While, lied and Black Leans rinfse lhre varieties will always tell readilv, it iican It but a small task tor each farmer to pick out the faulty Bans.
