NORTII CAROLINA DIAMONDS. We mentioned in a biief-editorial a few days ago, the discovery of a smnll mineral i-pccinieu in North Carolina, which was sup posed to be a diamond This was a recent .discovery, but there is good reason for be lieving that it is not be first tune that the queen of all the gims have been met with fin that State, as. will be perceived from the aiticle beluw. which we take from the Amer ican Journal Silliman's) for Nov. 1840. Professor Charles Ufuam-Skepakd contri buted the aiticle, and he seenis to entertain no doubt of tho ;t crystal " b; ins a diamond. Tho rtcent discovery may be rcgatdeJ, then as a confirmation of ,a pre-e listing opinion ; and it may not be premature to suppose that diamonds are really among the mineral treasures of our country. If so, they may bo leu ml; at no very disl htC&y; and in great abundance; and then. we will wear our own diamonds, us we now wear our own gold. We will add, that in the same volume of the American Journal, Professor Silliman calls Mr. Ctioginan's "small crystal' 1 a beau'.iful diamond of fine water;" which he docs without any qualifying expression whatever, as though there could be no doubt of the fact. Diamond in North Carolina. At the sixth annual meeting of tbe Association 01 American ort oiogiiis ana raiuiaiists,""neia j in April, 1815. in this ciiv, I made known the existence of the true diamond-bearing rock (the Itacolumite) at several places with in the gold region of the United Stales ; and at we should soon h.avc other f the diamond within the range rmatjon. m addition to the well-au thenticated ore then already made m Hall county, Georgia. This opinion was circu lated, to some extent, by means of the news papers iu North Carolina ; and, as one of the liist fruits of the inquiry set on foot, I had the pleasute of receiving last spring, whilst in Ctiarics'.on, fiom my friend, the Elon.Mr. Clingman, of Asheville, Btincombe county, the diamond here figured and described. ft was found in the j-ol l-washingffcf .Trir. Tritty's mine, in Rutherford county, which mine is situated in the .Itacolumite region I hd designated in the communication' above referred to. Mr. Clingman thus refers to it in a leiter dated February 17th, 1846 : lBy the desire of Mr. Tritty, I have enclosed to Dr. Dickson (with the request that he would present it for examination to you) a small crystal which seemed to me to. possess the adamantine lustre, and was hard enough to scratch everything to which I applied it it cutting limpid quartz easily. Should you find it to be a diamond, would you regard the picking up of a single otfe amonr the oia-veh from a gold rocker, as a Sordino; a sus- ncicmr-mrrn.,... . c tintr: Anarch iui uittiiiuuus aw taai piu.o r Although there could be no mistake about tha hardness and lustre possessed by this crystal, i. ?., that thoy could only belong to the diamond, still there was something in its singularly elongated shape, which at first siyht was calculated to remind one of the hexagonal prifiin with trihedral summits, such as oe'u:s in calcite or tourmaline ; tut then the faces were each diagonally divided by a slightly raised edge ; and besides, they all equally had the peculiar sphericity so fre quent in the diamond. The crystal, howev er, which is bounded by twenty-four isosceles triang'es, is plainly enough a common sec ondary of the cube, through the bevelment of its edges ; and its unuiual figure aiises from the disproportionate extension of the twelve planes situated about its vertical axis It3 weight is 4.12 grains, and its specific gravity 3 334. It is transparent, possess ing only a faintly yellowish tinge of color ; and it is ncaily w ithout a flaw. it is to be hoped that the proprietors of gold washings throughout the district,' will immediately set on foot a systematic search for this precious gem, which, in the ordinary operations of gold mining, might be evor looked to almost any extent. Henceforth there can scarcely remain a doubt, but that the diamond is to form a part of the availa ble mineral wealth of the country. New II aven, July 2 1,1840. Kind:;ess in. the Family. If a man has the soul cf benevoieoce m him, where should he more show it than at home, to whom should. he mote develope it than to the wife of his boscia and the olive plants" around his tabic? . We never could have any fellowship with that, sort of piety which fails to make home sweet and happy. It never could gain our cof4fidnce. In a very practical Sim perti nent sense, real charity always " begins' at home." There it does its first works and some of its best. There is a sort of piety, so called, which promises well in the distance, and has the best fame farthest from home. A worse testimony than this for its genui ness need not be sought. God made the Family: every element of beauty and -fitness of order and sweetness, blending in its constitution, combined to evince his handy work. He made it to be the nursery of the church the school of morals the home of happiness. Let no Christian think that his home responsibilities are met," unless the family of which he forms a part, bears this image, and answers these divinely conceived ends. t Dr. Junius Smith announces in a commu nication to the Greenville Mountaineer that be has just received a fresh supply of Tea Nuts, and one case of Tea Plants from China. The Tea Plants that have arrived were shipped from Shanghai in October, and all are tuprosed to be of the Green Tea species. The Dr. hopes, he says, yet to see j the hills and valleys of Greenville clothed with Tea Plants, and the Rail Iload cars, freighted with Teas. t , Ik marriage, piefer the person before wealth, virtue before beauty, and the mind before the face; then you have a friend and companion. ' TREE??. ' .-.... 4Trees furnish us with fuel, limber, fruit ; Yet, not for this alone I press their suit ; They have their language, sympathies and voice With hearts they leap lor joy they can rtjoice, And mourn with mourning Iiettvts.:' Rf ader, Lave you -plant d ti tree, a bu-h or a vine ready to bud and blossom on the balmy air o: spring'? you have not, then hare you nectected a great duty and Ufi unclosed a link that imght bind you ttj honje, country, and happiness. U who phm.s u tree, feels that there is a connecting link be tween animate and inanimate nature -that he has done something which is not entirely for self; and will feci an elevation of sdui which the slave of Mammon can never know. It is gratifying to see the taste for treps extending ever the country ; and iu large cities, where it is impossible to have ihem in life, the cemetery is the arbor which efthC3 deth in beau tyy and weeping trees mourn with mourning hearts" over hum;n dust. The wecj'ing evergreens being intro duced, are of great beauty ; and as soon as they can be procured, should grace every homestead. It is a great relief for "the eye in the cheerless, .leafless winter, to rest on their bright green foliage But as theso are comparatively scarce, thef.uitand flowering tree might have been planted'. Who would le such a drone in the irreut hive of nature ns not to nroduce one useful fruit, or one sin jgie f30Wt.r cf beauty ? Spring is now upon u3 Lojk out upon it pon its beautv, and s;iy how much have you helped the smiles ? With this annual return . of spring, the habitual planter of trees can feel a patriotic and phi: lanthropic joy in seeing others enjoy the., shade, the bleom, 1 uit, and beauty of his planting. What a paradise this suijny South would be if every householder would- cm bchsh the homestead with trees. There nr thousands of homesteads yet to,; e settled within the circulation t of this journal,' that are thickly stud led with majestic tn es- trees the growth of ccnluiies. And yet the sacrilegious axe goes at once to the rout;, 'a 11 d tho growth of ccntuiiea falls in an hour not even leaving a memento that here onco was a p'imcval forest ! Oh ! we could weep to see those patriarchs fall ; for in our short life they ne'er can rise, again. Fathers, and husbands, in pursuit of new homes, il you would build up associations of plta-ure for your family, save ihe venerable trees. If you would encourag j virtue in your children, encourage the ' planting of tre s ; their de velopment and beauty iea'h the unseen row. er of God, and make home the Mecca which the pilgrim children will ssigh to revisit, and will be loth to leave, Sell of the South. How Longfellow got a Wife. It has( been so often said that in Hyperion ar? to be found the leading incidents of- the au thor's life, that it will not be out of place if we insert here the general belief of his read enr. x-nr- . 4, ;n 7 r .

We shall givef 1 fricts as the' have come to our laiowleip anJ, we are assured, they will not fa;l to ttrcst our readers. About the year 1837, Lone fellow biing engaged in makirirj: ihe tour'tif Europo, se- lected Heidelberg for a permanent Avuyer ic sidence. Th'iro, his wife was a1 tacked wivh an illness vr'nieh ultimately pruned fatal. It so hiippned, however, that sometime aftu wards, there came to the same romantic place a young lady of considerable pirsonnl attractions. The poet's heart was touched he became att;iciet to her ; but the beau-" ty of sixteen did not sympathise with the poet of eix-and-thirty ; and Lcngfcllow re turned to America, having lost his heart1 as well as his wife. The youn lady. rJso an American, returned home thortly afterward- ' Their residences, it turnedout, were contigu ous, and the poet availed himself tf the opc portunity of prosecuting -his addresses, which he did, for a considerable time, with no bet- . ter success than at first. Thus foiled, ho sat himself down, and, instead of, life Petri rch, laying seige to the heart of his mis' re? s through the medium of sonnets, he resolved to write a whole book a book which wr uld achieve the double object of gaining her af fections, and of establishing his own fame. , Hyperion was the - result. His labor and his constancy were cot thrown away they met theifdue reward. The lady gavo liim her hand as well as her heart ; and they now reside together at Cambridge in the same house which Washington made his head quarters, when he was first appointed to the command of the American armies. "These interesting facts were communicated to us by a very intelligent gentleman, whom w o had the pleasure of meeting in the same place which was the scene of the poet's ear. ly disappointment and sorrows." Attention Youxg M en ! The young la dies of the State of Maine have recently l formed themselves into a society for mutual improvement and protection. AmoDg tho resolutions adopted at a regular metting, we find the following : That we receive the attention of no ".so styled " young gentleman, who has not learn ed some business or engaged in some steady ' employment for a livelihood, for it is appre htnded that fcfter the bird is caught it may starve in the cage. That we will promise to no young man who is in the habit of tip pling, for we are assured that his wife will . come to want and his children go barefoot. j That vre will marry ro young man who is nol a patron of his neighborhood paper, for we have not only strong evidence of his want, of intelligence, but he will prove too stingy to provide for his familv, educate his children, or encourage institutions of learn ing in his vicinity. . -'-. : : a ' ' Liberal dealing is better than alms-gfvinrr, for it tends to prevent pauperism, which it better than to relieve iL . i vinw f.t !lr I .nnfTlMlnw's ivnrLs " With Hypeiion the public has f 0 z-nma 1 1 Trio iinllmT rm t 1 1. is nnl .
