The First tioi<p Mine.?The first Qold
in in o discovered in tho United States vrus
the Reed Mioc.'io CabarrusCounty, North
Carolina, ot which the following is a brief
sketch : Tho first piece* of gold found at
this uiioo, was in the year 1799, b'yTJnnrad
Rood, a boy of about twolve years old, a sou
of John Kced, the proprietor. The discovery
was made in an accidental manner.?
The boy above named, in oompauy with a
sister and younger brother, went to a smaH
stream, called Meadow Creek, on aSabbuth
day, while tboir parents were at church, for
tho purpose of shooting fish with a bow and
arrow, and whilo cngagod along tho bank of
tho creek, Conrad saw a yellow substance
shining in the water. Ho weut in and
picked it up, aud found it to bo some kind
of metal, and carried it homo. Mr. llced
examined it, but as gold was unkuown in
this part of tho country nc that time, he
did not know what kiud of uietal it was ;
the piece was about tho size of a small
smoothing iron.
Mr. ltecd carried tho piece of uietal to
Concord, and showed it to William Atkinson,
a silversmith, but ho not thinkinir of
gold, was uuablc to say what kind of metal
it was.
Mr. Ilccd kept the piece for several years
on his house floor, to lay against the door to
keep it from shutting, lu the year 1802,
ho went to market to Fayetteville, and carried
the piece of metal with him, and ou showing
it to a jeweller tho latter immediately told
him it was gold, and requeued Mr. Reed to
have the metal with him und said ho would
flux it. Mr. Reed loft it, and returned in
n short time, and ou his return tho jeweller
showed him a large bar of gold, six or eight
inches long. The jeweller then asked Mr.
Reed what he would take for the bar. Mr.
Rced.uot knowing the value of gold, thought
he would ask a "big price," and so he asked
three dollars and fifty cents. Tho jeweller
paid hiui his price.
* After returning home, Mr. Reed examined
and fouud gold in the surface along the
creek. He then associated Frederick Kisor,
James Love and Martin Phifer with himself,
and iu the year 1803 they found a piece
of gold in the branch that weighed twentyeight
pounds. Numerous pieces were found
in this mine weighing from sixteen pouuds
down to the smallest pirticlos. The whole
r, surface along the creek for nearly a mile was
very rich in gold. *
The veins of this mine were discovered
in the year 1831. They yielded a large
quantity of gold. The vcius arc flint or
quartz.

Picked up.?Wc picked up a letter in
the street, says an cxchaugo, tho other day,
of which the following is a copy, exccptiug
the addresses. The owner can have tho
original by calling at our office :
Bear Brothers, Sisters, Cousins,
Aunts, Uncles, etc.:?I now take my scat
and set down to take this opportunity to
inform you that I am "Daddy," that is, I
suppose I aui, for Abbie has got a nice fat
baby, and we hope these few lines will fiud
you enjoying the same great blessings.?
Now this is to bo a strictly business letter.
Firstly, as I said before, Abbie has got as
nice a baby as ever made up faces. Nextly,
I have swapped away old Buckskin, and
think I have got a pretty nice horse, it is a
little girl aud weighs niue pounds [I mean
the baby,] and is just as fat as butter, and
has got a good strong pair of lungs; she is
red and got a bobtail [the horse 1 mean],
and a white strip in her faco, and i^a good
driver; she has got blue eyes and a dimple
in her chin (I moan the baby now), and
just tho prettiest mouth that ever was (of
course), and judging from her teeth I should
think she was about six years old [I moan
the horse now); she is souud. suioothe and
kind (I mean the horse or baby either, (now
tlin /I nnlnr cnio cKn i i l?n
ever saw, without any exception (he means
the baby). I got 25 dollars to boot, not in
the baby scrape, tho', for the boot was on
the other foot, and two or three sizes larger
as near as I can find out. I am going to harness
the horse now, and go after mother ;
she was born last Wcducsday night, 20
minutes past nine (I hope you dout think I
mean mother or tho horse, I mean the baby).
She is as hearty as a pig, ate an egg, a biscuit,
and drank three cups of tea for her
dinner (I mean Abbie). She is getting
along nicely, aud if she don't have any bad
luck she will get along fustrnte. Sho is
rather windy, and they say that is a sign of
colio (I mean the baby). I hope it is, for
tho nurse says colicy babies never die. She
talks through her dose (nose) as she takes
stuff (tho nuss I mean now).
There, I've been reading this over, and I
sco plainly that I ain't fit to writo. The
'amount of it is, I am flustratcd; I am daddy
and that accounts for it, so you must excuse
me this time. #Sam. Daddy.

Thk Ne<hio KoLfc ax the South.?A.
K. MuClure, the -editor of 4hd -Philadelphia
Timr,sl writing to his paper fronr Columbia,
says: . ? < ."None
know better than tho masses of
the colored voters of South Carolina that
their attempt at self-rule has bccu a terrible
failure, and they ure now distrustful of
all colored leaders, while they bare nothing
but curses for the desperate white adventurers
who impoverished both races while
assuming to elovato and benefit the negro.
It was this fooling that made the election
of Hampton possible in 1876, and the seeptro
once wrested from such a raco will not
soon be regaiuod. They ftel little hopo <jf
aiding themselves by u negro restoration.
They saw-tho State robbed of lands for ucgro
liouies aud the property stoleu by those
who claimed to be tho frieuds of .the negro.
They saw taxes wrung from property to educate
the negro, and a large pcrlion stolen
outright aud the schools made mcrelv a
mockery of education. Now thoy see seventy-five
thousand colored children ic free
schools, and nearly twelve hundred colored
teachers instructing them under the beceficcucc
of the State. They sec, also, an
amendment of the Constitution adopted,
making fixed and irrevocable appropriations
for free and equal education, aud the Governor
cf tin State declaring for still greater
incrcaso iu tho facilities for instructing both
whites and blacks. Thoy see business and
confidence revive; they have more labor
and bettor pay; they are steadily increasing
their friendly relations with tho whites by
leases of lands, and many of them are becoming
small proprietors since they have
ccascd to ucglect industry to follow the
commauds of selfish leaders ; and a large
proportion of the more thrifty class have
op?uly takeu their political stnud with the
whites, while thousands of others, especially
in minority Counties, refuse to take
any part in politics They have a majority
of from 20,000 to 30,000 iu the State, ou a
strict color liuc division, but there will never
be another solid negro vote cast in this State.
Superior intelligence aud will must rule
here as in all other places in the world, and
both whites and blacks understand it. There
will be unjustifiable methods here to repress
such nogro Counties as Beaufort and
Charleston, and they will need tho correcting
hand of justico; but until all tbe laws
of human nature and of interest shall be
reversed, tbe white man will rule tho inferior
race, and he will do it better in the
South at this time than the negro can rule
himself. This is not tho scntimoutal view
of the race issue iu the South, but it is the
truth."

n hat iuu i^u, uu u ci<ii ? tv ncu you
undertake to do anything, be iu earnest
about it; do it with your might. Fortune
and fatnc are often lust by not being in earnest.
This is a real world?a world of real
work, real success, real conflicts, real failures,
real triumphs, real defeats. And let
no uian be so over confident in his owu abilities
as to look with indifference upon the
difficulties before him?the danger and trials
that ho must pass iu order to reach the
goal upon which his eye is fixed. Full and
glorious success never yet did crown the
languid and indifferent exercises of the
powers of mind and body. It requires
effort to push oue's craft against the current
of rivalry, jealousy and vice, and if oue
would have his progress marked by complete
triumph his efforts must be well directed,
constaut and uurolaxing. But he who feels
that he has only to be inactive aud wait for
thj wind of fortune to drift him iuto the
haven of wealth aud fame, has lost every
promise of success, and is in far more danger
of ultimate disaster than the tempesttossed
mariner, though his uiast be gone
and his vessel shattered and torn by the raging
sea. Bo in earnest; meet the difficulties
which daily arise with determination
to conquer and riso above them. Let uot
your adversary find you sleeping or dreaming
of au easy conquest. Too much c.nfidence
in oue's powers is fatal to success,
aud often briugs defeat most disastrous.?
Bo faithful, bo true, be kind, be firm, be
earnest.
Subdividing Large Plantations.
?Mr. Daniel Dennett writes to tho New
Orleans Picayune, urging upon land-owners
the policy of dividing up their cxteusivc
plantations into leaseholds. He says :
"Every succeeding year the largo cottou
and sugar planter becomes better satisfied
that plantation, field uud sugar-house labor
become weaker and less reliable. Without
reliable labor plantations must in time prove
failures. It will not do to pitch crops with
about evcu chances whether the planter
may or may not have the labor necessary to
cultivate or harvest them. Nor will it do
for strikes to compel him to pay twice as
much for his labor as be can afford to.?
What is the condition of the unharvested
sugar aud cotton crops in Louisiana and
Mississippi at the present time ? The planter
and his merchant shudder at losses which
appear inevitable. Excessive rains, a single
violent storm,.an early freosc, a severe
drouth, very low prices?any one of these
may bankrupt many planters in a single
year. (live white men a lair chance to make
money on these plantations, and the most
of tho sugar lands and the cotton lands,
except in most sickly and malarious regions,
could be leased on time to white men. The
negroes prefer the swamps and tho richest
lands to any others, and there is whero the
last of the race will probably be found generations
hence."

in the evening, rnd often until midnight the <
flocks pour in. The birds leave; at daylight, 1
and by 8 or 9 o'clock all havo departed for
the feeding-grounds, often hundreds of miles
away. During roosting season this pigeon- i
roost is an exciting place. Eluuters from
all parts of Indiana, from Ohio and Keni
tucky come armed with shotguns nud long
poles, and supplied with torches and sacks,
the latter to be 'used in oarryiog^off the

their work about 8 o'clock in the Evening
and thence on through (ho night the scene

heard on all sides. Added to this is the
