-A AF WMER.3 Wednl-'day, Augusi 2Y. 18. %eaders and friends., the Editor of this paper has returned to his po.st of duty ; thel Chair editorial is now filled by his own proper person, and I. who so lately wielded the sceptre of authori ty here, must retire and give place to the rightful authority. If I have trod upon anybody's corns, or touched too (CIdely y old sores, I regret it, and hope that the offence will be forgotten and forgiven And 0, friend Ctron iee, I hope that you and I, Pharisee though I be, (I can't get over the "eminent,") will yet sing together the same psalw out of the same book, in peace and good fellowship together, in a country where there is never any call fur pistols and coffee for two. [EDITOR PRO TEM. Yes, we are once more in position, kind reader, and in spite of the pleas ure experienced in being again so in tinmately associated with you, we can not help feeling a.deep regret that the gentleman who has so ably ministered unto you editorially, has now retired to the quiet communiugs of his home. His is a facile pen, and to write with him was the naturalist thing imagina ble, and we honestly confess and fear, that the chair vacated by him having been so highly honored, so intelligent ly and well filled, that in its new found pride its venerable arms will not enfold us so lovingly as in the time before. We humbly trust that he will yet give you the benefit of some of his thoughts. and not suffer his light. which so re eently illuminated the darkness, to go entirely out. We tender him our sin eere acknowledgments for thekindness which prompted him to afford us re lief, and our readers so large a share of his experience. If he has trod upon anybody's corns, it was done innocently, for an honest er, kinder gentleman, does not exist, nur one who has a keener appreciation of the amenities of life. If any one's corn has been hui t, and a disposition is manifested to raise a auss, we beg that our friend be not disturbed, and if there be any conseqirences, that they be carried elsewhere. Again do we tender him our warmest thanks. [ED. HERAL. The State of Parties in the Uuni ted Aitates. Were it not too serious a subject we might be amused at the demnorali zation that has existed in the Demo eratie ranks ever since the war, and the per5lexity that occupies men's minds as to the causes thereof. New Departures have been sought for, new combinations have been tried, so that headway might be made, if possible, against the power ruling at Washing t .n, and swaying the destinies of the country. Time and again the cry of "Reform" has been raised but in vain. Why is the Democratic party so bro ken, and why is it no longer an effect ive working power ? And why can it never be aga in ? It seems to us that these questions are not difficult of so hition, but that the answers are plain and evidett and neiy be read by all who look with open eyes. The Democratic party as such no longer exists, it has had no existence einee the war and can never raise its head again while the Republic en dares. Its platfor,~ was utterly de imolished, torn into splinters by the shot and shell of the war, and, at the close of the war, there was not a piece of plank left in it as broad as your hanod. Was the Union restored or was it re constructed ? The answer to these ques tionis will show you why the so-called D emnocratic party has been inevitably defeated in every contest of late years. It had and it still has nothing to stand upon, and it never can ! e again. New issues and new comnbinations en tirely must be made. and the old party nzamue with its party cries must be dropped or defeat will follow forever. The reason is obvious. The main plaink in the Democratic platform, the central one about which nil the others elustered, and by which they were firmly held, was the doctrine of State Rlights, the Soveicignty and Indepen denee of the States. Now, it folows, that. when the States themselves are ov'erthirown; when they cease to be sources of power; when they have become the mere creatures of the power which they, in the beginning, called into existene.; the party which was founded upon this Sovereignty ceases also to exist. The Democratic party was that party, and therefore the Dem uratic party is dead because the Union is (dead. For this result we have to thank the Democrats of the North. A war Democrat was to all intents and purposes a Republican, called in old dava Federalist. By joining the war againist the Seceding States, who con uuded for the Union as it was at the f!rst, they destroyed the Union and shaittered the foundation upons which ther hud claimed to stand. Since the war eo okstoa has existed in the ranksi . hepar be4au.sc4ber h:ave cndear-! ored to recall a pat which b::mt b tingflTs h av d an5l y awl that !ll thine, havu becolm, Iew. Thu Uni-in was reconsiertr"d not re,nrcd; a vast and wonderful difference which ien have not yet learned to realile. From the beg6inin" there was a con flict betweeu two parties, the Fedeal or ctinsolidation party. the I)cmucratic. (then called Republican), or State Eights party. That contest culmina ted at last in the late war. (but ovun then if the Democrats North had been tr,.e to their principles the Union mrght have been saved,) and at its close the old Federal party was found to be completely triumphant and their shouts of victory were raised over the ruins of the.Union. Then followed the work of. Reconstruction. The idea of Restoration was scouted by the winning party because they said if we restore the Union we have lost all the fruits of the war, and victory has cost too much ta be thus thrown away and abandoned. For the same reason the Republican party triumphed in 1868, and again in 1872, because the success of the so-called Democratic party would have been equivalent to th. success of the doctrine of State Rights, the triumph of Secession and the Restoration of the Union to its old foundations once more. So we may well conclude that the old State Rights party, the Democratic party has ceased to exist, and that it can never be revived; and that any resist ance to the Supremacy of the Govern ment at Washington, either by the so-called States or by . individuals, would be rebellion now whatever it may have been in 1860. Now, we cannot tell which is best. It may be that the success of the Federal party and the consolidation of the Union, will insure a far greater degree of prosperity and happiness to the people than could otherwise have been. This may be. In God's hands are the issues of all events and actions. We only know that, moved by a sense of duty, we took the side of Secession, and would at any time have cheerfully given our life for the success of that cause which we believed to be RIGHT. And often, since the close of the con fliet, when we have seen the wrong and misgovernment and corruption with which the land is filled, we have thought and felt that the most pleas ant sound we could hear would be the cal! to arms once more. But doubt less it is best so. Let us do ouri duty leaving the event with God. Gold and Gold Hunting. We have before us, (just received from the publishers, Chicago), the first number of the first volume of the Journal of the Americani Bureau of Mines, a beautifully printed work, which leads us to think of gold and gold digging. Erer since we were a little boy, away back as far as we can remember, we have been familiar with the pro ess of panning for gold. Gold was found, and still may be found, in th e and and gravel in the bed and on the anks of the little streamn known as Plum Branch, that ran near the house n which we were born and where we rew up to near manhood's estate. Of en have we seen our father and other ersons wash gold in a pan, gather up he particles and put them away in a oose quill. -Sometimes, though rarely, speci ens were found varying in value from two, to thirty or forty dollars. The largest lump we ever saw, it wvas early pure gold, was worth about forty dollars. From time to time efforts were made, but with indifferent access, to mine. Different parties ried it, and though many beautiful pecimens were found and occasionally ieh veins were opened, yet take it atogether, more mnomey was expended han was mtade. We never saw Dorn's mine, which was out of thie ange of our youthful experience, and, ndeed, is not in our native county. We could point out to-day several laces in which gold may be seen in ~he flints lying scattered over the old elds. On Persimmon Creek, Big reek and Little Saluda, Turkey Jreek-, Mountain Creek, and, indeed, hrough the whole County of Edge ield, extending from the Saluda o the Savannah River, gold may e washed from the sand by panning. )n Mountain Creek, and near it. cop er appears, and the gold that is there ound is greatly alloyed and is quite ~opperish in color. The green verdi ~ris may often be distinctly seen in he rocks near Mr. Cook's, on Moun tin Creek. Among the best speci uens we ever saw were collected in that egion, leaving out the lurups rmentiog d above. One small lump worth1 bout two dollars was picked up many rears ago, two miles beyond Higgins', aon Kinard's Ferry, near the old rss Road. The larger lump we myve mentioned,. was found about wenty miles lower down the country, md some twelve from Saluda. Not a ~reat many years ago a company was on.ed for the purpose of~ gold mining< n Little Saluda. The company were pr : h :.-r a fund ip.ihv 'ectioA of eCuUtry. I udicatiou'of Cop per appeartiearSaludaoi land onecowu ed by Dr J. C. Ready, we do not knon who owns it now. Quite recently, onl) a few months back, a laump. of gol! worth about five dollars was picked ul on 3r. Werber's plantatiou on Busl River, in this County. We purpost some day when we have leisuze to g< out there with Mr. Werber and pros pect a little and see if any may b found by panning. We think it ex ceedingly doubtful whether any cat be found by washing. though it wouk be gratifying to us if our friend could strike the richest sort of a vein. as Wt know that his great liberality woulk lead him to sh:re with others. From the observations of man3 years we have coue to the conclusior that it is more profitable in this see tion of country, to eugage energet ically in the cultivation of the soil and to work it well from six inches t( a foot deep, thian it is to go deeper. - From many things that we Ivve leard we doubt not that Doru's expericne as a gold hunter would furnish a ver iuteresting and instructive chapter. Those who desire i:-formation pr the subject of mines ind muininE would, we think, do well to send fou the Journal, published by the Amcri, can Bureau of 3Mines, and edited b3 W. C. McCarty, Chicago.

A few days more at Morganton, waiting for letters which did not come to hand, aside from the disappointment, and the hope deferred which maketh the heart sick, have been pleasantly spent. What have become of the letter< so anxiously looked for, it were vain to conjectur-e. It may be that Messrs. McDowell and Johnson, who have been fighting a railroad war-, as to possession of the road*from Charlotte to Statesville, have one or the other seized the mail baigs, as each have on different occ'asions come into possession of the aforesaid piece of road.- Or perhaps they have not yet been written. This is on. 'the GREATEST TROUBLES of the traveller. The anxious waiting on dilatory mails, the disappointment on open ing, when in answer to the eager inquiry, "is there a letter now ?" the P. M. says, indiffer ently, "NO LETTER TO-DAY!' [t is enough to make one swear that the whole 'bili' is rotten and sadly in need of reconstruction. Our advice is, that when an exile cannot afford to carry a pocket tele. graph line along with him, the best thing he can do Is to have a batch of letters written up in advance and take them along. This would save a deal of anxiety. We promised to visit the celebrated Glen Alpin region, at the close of our last letter, and did so, but before touching on that highly interesting point, a line or two more must be devoted to MIorganton. AT THE DEPOT, between train times,8 and 10, A. M., one can see something of the South Mountain boys and girls, without climbing a tree, a seat on ~he platform in company with a few gentle nen of leisure (by the way th is is the happiest ipot on earth for loafing, there being nothing :o do, comparatively) will answer all pnr os.es. At this early hour they come troop ng in, making such long strides that it is carcely believed they come from points in he mountains ten and fifteen miles dis tant. NEVEIRTHELESS A FACT, nd each one carries a basket of peaches or pples, seldom worth more tharr twenty-five ~ents each, and ofiener only ten or fifteen. As abor is cheap,walking easy and inexpensive hoe leather in maost instances being a luxury tot often indulged in-and t'he fruits of the oarth abundant, it is not surprising then. tecosting A NT3tPH he other morning-a hard-featured one lby he way-who walked as if the world's salv-a ion depended on her speed, said we, "What >art of this p:.radise are you from, pretty naid?" "Mountains, sir." "hlow far in he wilderness of beanty?"' "Ten miles." ['hese answers were given without stopping, und by the time the last syllable was utter di, the maid was tar inl the~ didtac, and xaught remained but the delicious odor of ecr golden apples. Speakic:g of apphes, the ection in which those petopile live, move and tave their CONTENTED BEING - t Wie h * ,idt me.otion st-n mtnae in onr nre he i ,h : vri to it: and thee is Ho lea-1 whyheme S-uth Mountains will not -t sone day be inade to supply the markets of tie North with FRUITS OF ALL KINDS, Such as Iaches, pe:i-, apples, graps, strawberries, currants, etc., for nature hIs lhere set a line beyond which froit never n vades. It is passing strange, that the haid of man is idle, and the eye so biind, in vi w of such natural liberality. Talk not of re West, rich lands, etc., for there lurk mit. ias and feves in the breeze, together w1 discomforts unknown in th1is deligl.iul mountain region, with its cool, clear waer, bracing, invigorating atmosphere, and se. cry, as gorgeous as any seen in the Italian skies. And besides the LANDS ARE RICH as heart can dcsirc, and on which drongat is seldom or never experieteed. Niture has,it niight almost be said, exhausted herself jere, and man is satisfied with such return as the least possible labor will give. AmWrious longings swell the fewest number of learts. It is a fine country too, for stock raiing, clover and grasses growing luxuriantly, or "luxiantlv" as a South Mountain small fr1it grower expresses it, and thousands of aerts are lying idle. lut let us get off the moan tains for the present, and desecud to tue valley, where too, one is impressed aith the same lack ofgo-ahead-active-ness. ALL DAY LONG ascend the grateful incense of smoke wr.iths, em itted from the mouths of happy Morgan tonians, happy that so much has been dene for them. Morganton is in a perpetual cloed of Durham smoke, drawn fro'm Aunt Sallie Mical pipes, which are more estomed than costly Meerschaurns. This pipe' is ranu factured out of some peculiar light co.ored clay, at the rate of a hundred per day,by old Aunt Sallie-not round the corner SalFe, of whom the poet has written-and wita no other machinery than her own deft tingers, and sail as fast as hot ginger cakes,jot twen ty-five cents per dozen. Happy smoker., now wrapped in wreath clouds, with no thought of the future! a change will come oleL.the spirit of your dreams, however, when .unt Sallie finishes her probation here, and s,ops the supply of pipes. Our sympathetic hirt bleeds at the thought, for she is growing old, but hark, what is that which, stealing on the soft night air, dispels the c!ouds su lately encircling us? 'Tis sweet BELLE MAIIONE, rendered by the Morganton Cornt Band, practicing to-night in the venerable Court Ihouse. Thoughts of home troop through the imind, as the soft strains come. in throigh the windows of our cosy room in the North-west corner of the Walton House, and it Sweet Belle has as much effect on mine host Mal lord, as on his boarders, they will have uqore to do than common at the breakfalst table in the morning. But no one will go baek on it, however great the p ile or variety, the bracing air of this plac. enabling a man to do juttice to his meals on all occasions. A VERY ENERGETIC MAYOR, has Morganton, in Mr. Bettis, who although a cripple from paralysis, moves about in a wheel chair, wherever his preseace is needed. Fortunately he has lbut little to do, as tihe Treasury has been bankrupt for ycars, the tax-payers nearly all having claim? against tihe corporation, and in consequenca very small tax is paid in. AN ORGAN, it is said, is needed htere, and some say we might make sotmething ot it. It is doubtful atid might leadi to ditficulties, for a good om. if made to article-late sonme wholesotte truth: loud etnugh to wake ttp a spirit of enterprist and energy, nmight have an extra stop put on it, not at nIl desirable to the builder or matiufacturer. A newspap'r would be a great help no doubt, and if properly condutt ed might produce a happy (ffleet inl aiditg the development of a very rich country. ONE OF THlE BUsiEST MEN here is Mr. Mce- , and yet so clever with:a, that he will spend whole days in giving t stranger all the history of the count-y o1 which he is thoroughly posted-and ali the while he smokes. This would be a charming retreat for Grant from the cares of business. We don't advise him to spend any length of time, though, because he is not at all admiro,. But perhaps we are dwelling too long on Morganton, and had best say something .ABOUT GLEN ALPIN, instead, one of the loveliest of places, and situated about thirteen miles from town, in the very midst of the mounatains,where we hal tho pleasure of going on Tuesday last, and of spending two delightful days, as the guest of' an intelligent and agreeable gentleman, Col. T. G. Walton, one of the protprietors of the Glen and nmany contiguous acres of mnoun tail and plain beyond. This gentleman is her:: summering it with several members of his family, among whom may be men tionted h'a estimable lady, and two lovely and agreeabu daughtters-both of whom, UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE REsT OF MAN KIND,, are already happily mated. GIlt Alpitn h noted through this portiona of WesternaN. C. for its delightful temperature, rotmantic su: roundings of tmountain atnd vale, picturesque glens, numerous waterfalls, which butrst otn the eyes in continuous and constantly vary ing changes as the rocky defile is ascetnded, winding upward with wild precipitousness, startling the sense with its chasms and deep, dark depths which lie below in a twilight darkness, never lightened by the sun. Tlo THlE PEAK OF RAVEN'S CLIFF. about p,,830 feet above the sea1 leve.1, is no little undertaking, and requires considerable powers of endurance, but when the top) is reached, alt feeling of' fatigue vanishes, as the pure, invigorating atmosphere is inhaled, the god of daty again sheds its bright beams: and the glo9us landscape of circling moutntains, towering upward, peak on peamk, and the smiling vale he low meet the chiarmn eJ vision. It is a sight far b.'yond our powetr of description, one wich tnotic hut a poet or artist catn do jitstice to. THlE VIEW from this point is acknowl:dged by g.>o)d judges to surpass any other, for viariety, ::td for the vast scope of country which c.it be seen. Looking South lies Georgia and Son th Carolina, King's Mountain alone reliev-mg the level table land scene, while West, North and East far away lie the everlasting mountain heights to-.ering upward and forming, e5 it were, pillars for the sky above. 1sroma TIts ELEVATED point can i,e distinguished the celebrated High Falls of the IIickory Nut Gap, distant some 48S or 50 miles. Of course it is butt a speck to tihe naked eye, and it is even dontb fuil itf the object poittted out is it in fact. Prominent in the distant view is the Fiittnagle ot the lue Itidge, black Mountain, Table Rock, Hawk's Bill, the lRoan, (ont the sutm mit of which latter is found the State line dividing 2N.

Arrived at Hickory, Saturday 10th, and being kindly met by sundry Ilickorites, as lever people as cani be !'ound, have determin ed to tabernacle- just ac little while with the good friends with whom were passed so many pleasant hoturs while on the way up. Thle house is full as usual, but Mr. Bean is equal to all emergencies, nio ouse is turned away froml his doors, anid no matter how many seek for quarters, they are sure of accommodation, and of the best sort, and Rot the least of which is his groauing table, which is always fi lled with the best, and cooked inl the most ap)proved fashioni. On this occasion, the house is appairently filled to its titnost capacity-wve have no idea that Mr. Bean thinks so, however-and amonig the companilty there are old. widowers seek ing wi ves, old b'achelhors, incon igibly de terilned not to have wives, a numbier of married ladies, some of whom are proud and hptipy mothiers, and in consequence, any qtan tity of interesting cihldren ; bat, alas, the Cit ele it'incompillete, f'or there are NO CHARMING WIDoWS.
