Dorch, John S. Hen derson and John Manning. Their iBelec tiou of a clerk is a happy one Mr Black mer is thoroughly well quallified for the work. THE WOIiKONTIIE YADKIN. Capt. W m. II. James, U. S. Engineer, with his two assistants, Mr. Frank Browjrl and Mr. Reid . W'hitford, are working a force of about fifty hands in the river, just above the old Locke Bridge. They have two large hoisting scows, rigged with derricks, five large stone scows and a lot ot row boats. Thev clear about twenty cubic yards per day with this force. The chaunel is being opened ifrom fifty to seventy-five feet wide, to clear three feet at average low water. They expect to' get half a mile above Sower's Ferry by the last of the month, which will be near three miles of the work doue. The blasting is done with dymauite, fired by an Electric battery. With this apparatus, any number of charges may be discharged at ouce. They generally fire from five to teu charges at a time. The water is thrown from 60 to 75 feet per peudieularlj, and falls b.ick in white spray-occasionally, bits of rock are thrown in all directions, bat geuerally the charge goes down in the rock. Capt. James told us that he had ordered, (and the machinery was ou the way) two steam hoists and two steam drills, with engines to run them. These are to take the place of the slow derricks, and will greatly facilitate the work. The men are, of course compelled to work in the water, aud there is trouble to get men to stick, but they are becom ing accustomed to if, and the regular force does not give much trouble. These men are quartered aud fed' by the government and paid by the month. This i- only half the force the other t scows, under Mr. lirown are coming down the north fork of the river and will join Air. wiutlora wuere lie is now at work. The work is going on well and tinder the present management will continue to do so. It will take several years to com plete it ; as nothing can be doue in cold weather.

It is mostly wood land. MINING IN CABARRUS CO. Last Tuesday, in company with our friends of the Register ind Sun, aud V. M. Smith of Concord, we made a hasty trip to several of the mines of Cabarrus. The first we came to was the "QUAKEU C1TV GOLD MIXING COMPANY OF Fill LA DELPIIIA This property consisting of 95 acres, lies eight miles wist from Concord. Win. Treloir is superintendent. He has had long experience in N. C. mines, haviug worked at Gold Hill in this county, in 1844, aud has been more or less engaged iu our mines ever since. The Quaker Cjty was incorporated un der the laws of North Carolina, in 18d0, and has a capital stock of $200,000, with as many shares non-assessable. The ores are, after reach iug the water liue, heavy sulphurets, with an average value of $32.00 per ton. The highest as say showed a value of $117.00 per ton. The vein from which this ore is taken has an average width of two aud a halt feet, aud is called the great --Eldorado vein." On this vein three shafts have been suuk ; No. 1 eighty feet, No. 2 sixty feet and No. 3 forty-live feet. Ores are being lifted from No, 1. They are running twp drifts from the 80 foot level, twenty ieet eacn way. They have a five stamp batterv, with amalgamating machiuerv. two R;iat.r Mills, with other machinery for concen trating the gold j oue chilling mill; two horse whims, blacksmith shop, mill house 24x60 feet, three frame dwellings and the usual cabins. The mills and stamps are going, and Mr, Treloiris much pleased with the pros pects. They have about 175 tous of ore on the dumps. He says he expects the mine to yield dividends shortlv. TUCKER GOLD MIXING COMPANY". This property, 5di acres, is located seven miles southeast of Onnonrrl. it was incorporated under the general min ing laws of this State, June3J, 1331. The capital stock, $300,000, is divided into 300,000 shares of non-assessable stock. The ores are heavy sulphurets, sulphu rets of iron, with slight trace of copper. The average value of ores outside of pock ets, is about $22 per ton ; in the pockets the Ore is worth seven hundred and fifty dollars per bushel has turned out that much. On the property are six veins, average width two feet. The widest 5" feet, the narrowest, 14 inches. Work ins only been begun siuce June 3.1, con sequently no new shafts have been suuk. Inere are, however, three shafts down some sixty feet each, the result of the ante-bellum workings of 1843. They have up a mill house, 24x80 feet, a new engine, 30 horse power, and boiler 40 horse power j ' a ten stam p mil 1700 ound stamp; saw mill 52 inch 6aw brick yard aud blacksmith shon. Capt. W. H.

He says that the tailings, or sands, are to bo concentrated, and will probably be run through tho Meares Chlorination Process their woika at Hi nceuix mine being convenient for that & Mirpose. We next visited the Phoenir. whih ia a large mine, with extensive machinery. A description of this mine will be given next week. The "Iieed" and "Pioner Mills" are also in. operation in Cabarrus and we nope to ventilate them at an early day. $200,000 Not Enough In an fsn V on the 'mines aud minerals of the State," published in this paper a day or two ago it was stated that $200,000 had been in vested in muiin" 'machinery within tin. astyear. Wade Harris, the .editor f the Concord Sun, and whose conuteuance beamed on ns for afew moments vfstr- day, begs ns to "go slow," for more thau that amount has been expended in Ca- uarrus couutv alone within the tini specined. CAar. Observer. If the estimate had been $200,000 fo each county in the ''gold belt," it would have been pearer correct.

I r ThU little book b an accident.. ."While engaged in collecting material' for another purpose, the writer was led to; examine the early recordrpreserved in the5 Court House in Salisbury, and in the course of his inves tigation happened upon a! number of things that appeared to be. of j general interest. Mentioning this fact casually--to the editor of the Carolina Jl'atchman, the "writer was asked to embody these items or interest in a few articles for that newspaper. Thisled to additional research, and to the accumu lation of a pile of notes and references that gave promise of a dozen or inore articles These the editor thought should be printed in a pamphlet of fifty or ; a hundred small pages for preservation fand he began at once to print off a few hundred copies frdni the tjpe used in the newspaper. As the work went on, other facts were' gathered from traditions, from' fainily records; and from the pages of books' "written about North Carolina, such as 'thfe Histories and Sketches of JIawks, CarutWe-fs,-po6te, Ban croft, Wheeler, Lawsoh, Byrd; Jones, Wiley, Jloore, Unnter, Bernheim,rGIIiett, and from miscellaneous diaries, periodicals, and man usenpts. These.wtre irifjpnded to ftiraish a frame for therpicture of Old Rowan, and side lights that it might be seen to ad vantage. And thus the little, pamphlet hs swollen to its present proportions-. It was written in installments from week to week amid the incessant demands of rcsular professional dutv, and without that . care and revision that might have saved it from some infelicities of stvle or obscurities of expression. Both tie writer and the pub lisher would have been glad to have ex pended more time and care upon the work, so as to render it more worthy of the noble County whose annals it is j intended to re cover and perpetuate. Still it is believed that very fewr. serious errors have been made. Local traditions have been com pared with general history, and have been found to coincide wherever they came in contact. ' The writer has been indebted to a num ber of persons for the facts which he has recorded. Miss Christine Beard a grand daughter of John Lewis Beard, and of John Dunn, Esquire now eighty years of age, with a remarkably retentive memory, has furnished personal recollections of the Town of Salisbury, covering seventy years. She has also treasured up the stories heard in her youth from the lips of her ancestors, running back to the first settlement of the County. Messrs. J. M. Ilorah and H. .X. Woodson, the Clerk and the Register, kind ly gave access to the old records in the urt House, dating back to 1753. Johu S. Henderson; Esq., Rgv., S Rjt brock, Rev. H. T. Hudson. D. D.. Rev. J. J Rcnn. Rev , . i ' B. Boone, Rev. J. Ingle, Rufus Barringcr, Esq.. Dr. D. B. Wood. M. L. McCorklc. Esn . Mrs. N. Boyden, and others, have cither prepared papcrs.in full, ot Jfonkhed docu ments and manuscript statements that have been of e pecial service. Mrs.;, P. B. Cham bers furnished the diary of her-grandfather Waightstill Avery, Esq. CoL W. L. Saun ders, Secretary of State, and Co). J- McLeod Turner, Keeper of the State Capitol, very kindly furnished, free of charge, a copy ef the Roll of Honor of the Rowan County soldiers in the Confederate Artny The re vision and completion of this Roll was superintended by Mr. C. R. Barker, who be stowed great care and much time upon this work. Many thanks are . due te all these persons. In fact, it has been a labor of love, without hope of pecuniary reward, with the Author, and all these who have contributed to this performance. With mese statements the little book is sent forth with the hope that it. will be of some service to the citizens of North Carolina, and especially to the people of Rowan. ino attempt is made to point out typo graphical errors.. They are generally of such a nature as to be readily corrected by the intelligent reader. The following er- , ' rors may ue noted . uo pajre 14U it is stated that no man knows where the grave of John Dunn, Esq., is. Further inquiry however, revealed the fact that the spot is still known. The correction is given on page 199. ' ' On page 254 Matthew Brandon is repre sented as having had two daughters. A fuller account reveals the facit that he had three other daughters one who married a Mr. McCombs, of Charlotter-another who married Wm. ' Smith, of Charlotte and still another who married George Miller, of Salisbury. A daughter of fhu last, named couple married Lemuel Bingham, Associate Editor of the Western" CaroTinutrt in 1820-23 These were the parents of thrBingbams now of Salisbury. . . . r, On page 258 John Phifcr is represented as settling in Rowan near ..China Grove. Further inquiry seems to show that John Pbifer never lived in Rowan; 'but that his widow moved to that place after her mar riage with George Savitz." "'. On page 296, 3d line from top, read Strasburg instead of Richmond. ' On page 367 it is stated that the Rev. W. D. Strobe! and Rev. D. I. Drener were min isters to the Saliabury Lutheran Church. This statement dees uot appear to be cor rect. It further, appears thatnhe Rev. S. Rothrock's first term of service in Salisbury was in 1833, and his second in 1830 ; and that the Rev. Mr. Roscumuller came between Mr. Reck and Mr. Tabler. " . The reader will observe in these sketches occasional references to the . Mecklenburg Declaration of May 20th, 1775, . and to it signers, with no expression of i dfoabt as to its authenticity. This course has been pursued because the writer i did not feel called upon to settle, or even discuss thai yexea question, and he did not feel author ized to set at defiance the conclusions that seem to be sustained - by the -- bulk f the testimony, and to adopt 'instead the deduc tions of critics derived from real, pr sup posed inconsistencies and contradictions in that testimony. With an array ef document before him, he prefers to allow Mecklenbur" to settle tint question for herstlf. white a? the same time he is uerfcctlv satisfied thr the Mecklenburg pat-riots of 1775, either on the 20th or 31st of Mayj oV upVn both oc cawons, acted in such a noble manner as to surround their names with the glory of Pii4uuc uevonon and heroic courage.
