They are still used at this mine by farmers in the fall of the year when they have spare time from the growing crops. It Is a remarkable fact that no well defined vein of ore has ever been found on the adjacent hills to which the I free gold in the bed of the creek and the "dry hollow" could be traced with any reasonable certainty. It still remains a question, where does it come from ? after 62 years of more or less raining on this property. The surface of a large portion ofi;he flat lands near Flaggtown, between the hills and the creek", have also been washed, for gold, and the late Thps.

There is still another note-worthv fact in relation to another interest near this mine : The farmers who lived the I in its vicinity were in better pecuniary circumstances uerore tne uiscovery oi the mine, and were more prosperous, than afterwards. Estimating their wealth by the number of their negro slaves, their successors never approxi mated them. There were at least five hfarmers living within two miles of the lieayerdam mine before its discoverv who owned each from 30 to GO slaves : and their fortunes were made by raising cotton, corn, wheat, oats, flax, tobacco, etc., and by saving what they made. They were abreast with farmers in other more favored agricultural sec tions, not only iu wealth, but in their general social relations. The neighbor hood declined after the opening ot the mine and never fully regained its for mer prosperity, though since the -war there is very evident improvement: and especially within the last ten years has there been a steady upward ten It may be truthfully said that many othr neighborhoods far removed from gold mine have experienced the same or a very similar fate, and that it is not fair to charge this adverse fortune to the account of the niine While it may not be safe to assert the contrary, it must be admitted that the presence of :t gold mine was in this;case power less to avert the adverse fortune de scribed; and that the glittering stream emanating from it discharged itself somewhere else than in the immediate vicinity. , Inconstant!

Gold Mining r in North Carolina is a little over sixty years old. It is not quite certain where uA .U A;r.n i uic iiiov nets uiul.lt., UUt probably either in Cabarrus or Mont g6m,ery county. The Beaverdam mine in "Montgomery was discovered in 1824, by the late Allen Harris, who lived 04 a portion of the property. The news spread very rapidly throughout adja eeut counties," and hundreds of. men left their usual occupations and flocked to. the place, equipped with buckets, pans, hand-rrockers, picks, shovels, and a few necessary articles for camping out. Many oi them built little log houses, and made themselves comfort able while pursuing their labors. At one time, about 1820-27, there were scarcely less than 500 miners employed there in washing out the blue grit" found from three tosix feet below the rocky bed of Beaverdam creek and in the "dry hollow," the former the property of the late Col. West Harns,and the latter, belonging to Chisholm. It is believed that the first application of steam power to milling purposes in the' South ras made at tfca vertlam. The late Hon. Chas. Fisher, father of the late Col. Chas. R Fisher, has the honor of introducing steam power to driven large rocker at that place in 1825. His engineer .was northern man named Boswnrfh hroiurht on wtfh f.lm up and put it to work. Looking back. W luat eany date m the use of steam power, and-reconnting the work this engine was required to do, one is aston jshed at the feeble capacity of the en T Mr. Fisher wjvs raanv years in ad vance of his time on the subject of inter na) improvements.

There being but one Esq present, he was not disposed to trans ait mu:h business, although he appears to have been loyal to the crown. It would seem that the other justices were either afraid and awed by the public sentiment for independence or were themselves disloyal to the crown ; and there being . no record of any dis turbance at the court, we would infer that they were disloyal subjects of King George the Third, otherwise they would have assisted his honor, W Lind say, Esq., in holding the court.

This was ended by chief Nana and one buck and his wife and a child of both Geronimo and Natchez, the sister of Geronimo, one boy and a woman being given to Lieut. Idaus as hostagesr for the observance: peace until Geronimo shall have met Gen. Crook, with whom he expressed a wish to have a talk. The meeting between Crook and Geronime will take place in about a month and will undoubtedly end in the surrender of the Indians. The band consists of chief Geronimo, Natchez, Chihuahua and Nana, twenty bucks and some women and children. Lieut, Maus is now heading for Lang's ranch. that he could scarcely divest of the impression that the was indeed human. himsel creature 11 i were uisciianjeo. It would seem even in those days, that there were some that were not so patriotic and liberty loving as to want to die for their country and for its freedom. We think some archaeologist or his torian might write a graphic history of the old colonial days' in North Carolina bv consulting these old court records if they are all preserved. They give an insight into the manners and cus toms of those times that would be of service to the historian who may un dertake to write a correct history of North Carolina, past and present. The writer has in mind two gentlemen in our State eminently fitted for this work and will at another time name them in the columns of the News and Observer. business in accordance with the forms of law and propriety. It has been im possible to obtain such a manner of procedure, though, it appears, and our latest accounts indicate a complete separation of the democratic and republi can wings. The minority fc'as tne presi dent; the democratic ' majority the clerks and the Senate journals, and the Democrats having right on their side can no doubt afford to fight it out on this line if it takes all winter. The whole business has been most disgrace ful to the republican party of Ohio. It has been a deliberate purpose to gag Democratic utterance by action beyond all law and reason and rule of decorum, and that it has failed thus far to suc ceed does not lessen its enormity. It should be taken up by the democratic press of the country and made to ap pear iu all its hideousness, for it is but in keeping with the action of the re publican party generally whenever par ty ; exigency has demanded action in defiance of law. The Ohio senatorial minority sticks at nothing. On the meeting of the Senate Monday morn ing, for example, j the usual brow-beating tactics were undertaken by the re publicans when a democrat moved io adjourn. The chair ruled all such mo tions out of order. Thereupon, as re ported, "the democrats, amid great ex citement, demanded that the clerk call the roll on the question of adjourn ment. The president tried to drown the voice of the clerk with his gavel, but the roll was called, twenty-six members voting for adjournment. The democratic members started out while the clerk handed the roll call to the president to be announced. (That offi cial tore it in several pieces and threw it on the floor, while the crowd surged in front of the railings, and the great est confusion prevailed. JThe clerks all left their places, and as soon as partial order could be restored the pres ident proceeded to read certain rules which the re ublican minority voted on and declared adopted. Democratic adjournment was taken to Wednesday, and the republicans to Uuesday morn ing. The incident shows clearly the tem per of the republicans. They propose to rule or ruin in accordance with the principles whHch have actuated their party as a wnole since its "formation. i They have sat. at the feet ot their par ty prophets and the lessuns they have learned are to the effect that the law of the land may be observed so long as it does not interfere with pirty aims, but as soon as it says no to party greed or policv i tmust be treated with contempt ignored, trampled upon. It must be made to subserve party purposes and must be bent to this end when neces sary without regard to right. The will of the people is lost sight of en tirelv and party ascendancy alone is made the object of endeavor. The "grand old party," heaven save the mark! has been the party of violence against the law, cf fraud and of oor motion from its birth, as witness its visiting statesmanship, its electora count commission, etc., etc. It is no strange that its Ohio children should now endeavor to put into practice the lessons it has taught bv example it no by precept. The thing for the people to do is to keep this party where it has been put bv the popular will in retire- ' ii ment, and so to let it perish through the operation ot its own innate cor 1 ruption. - you will shut the door against many a heartache. The world hangs On little things, and there are many more trivial than the right time and the wrong. A Time for all Things. The Ohio Muddle. The Senate branch of the Ohio legis lature is democratic. It is so though by virtue only of the election of four democratic senators from Hamilton county (Cincinnati). These four sen ators hold certificates of- their election duly executed, but charges are made by the republicans that they were obtaii -ed by fraud and the republican minori ty in the Senate has undertaken, even before an investigation can be had, to "rail; oid" the four democrats out of the chamber and put in their places certain republican claimants for their seats. In this they are sustained by the presiding officer of the senate, the lieutenant governor of the State, who is a republican, and whose rulings are in favor of his party friends regardless of law and rules of the senate. He has endeavored to. maintain, despite the law to the contrary, thrts a quorum might be had without the presence of the democrats, including the four sit ting senators from Hamiltdn county, and proceeding upon the false theory he has sought to oi:s': the four demo crats in Question by simple resolution Timeliness is as important as fitne: s The right thing may become wrong unless it is done at the right time. Look well to the time of doing any thing; there is a time for all things. If your wife looks wearied and .worn out be sure it is not the time to tell her that the dinner is not hot or that the bread is sour. Comfort her ch'eer her up Use the ten thousand little strata gems you were woiit to handle so skil fully in the old days to bring out the smiles around her lips. If you are annoyed or vexed at people, just remem ber it is not the right time to speak. Close your mouth shut your teeth to gether firmly, and it will save you many a useless ana unavailing regret and many a bitter enemy. If you hap pen to feel a little cross and who among us does not. at some time or other ? do not select that time for re proving vour noisv household flock. One word spoken in passion will make a scar that a summer ot smiles can hardly heal over. If you are a wife, never tease your husband when he comes home -weary from a days busi ness.

At the instance of a party of gentle men, who, at a social gathering Christ mas evening, were discussing the ld school teacher, P. S. Ney, and his pos sible identity with the great French marshal, the editor of the Landmark addressed a note to Hon. Lyman C. Draper of Madison, Wisconsin, tne author of "The Heroes of- King's Mountain,' with whom he had had some correspondence on the subject, and who was known to be gathering ma terial bearing on the question under discussion, asking him if he is writing on the subject and what his conclusions are.
