%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.

MORGANTON, N. C., August 15, 1873.
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.

Such as Iaches, pe:i-, apples, graps,

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

are already happily mated. GIlt Alpitn h

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,

choked back because they aie not. On
naing this cause of regret to a lady friend,
we aire toldl that therie is a widow in town,
but the knowledge is gained too late in the
daylt, there is 1no time left now Ito place aniy
gnis in positiont, and as they are known'i to
be always ready, it would be dangerous to
make an attack withoutt dute preparation.
We pass. May she rest in peace, as nui(st
also ilickory, and our many warm friends;
in a fewi milnutes all will bie left behind. We
leave wvith legret, but notw ithst andinig the
pleasres e-x'erien(ed , thle friendsip ~s tmde,
