According to previous announcement,
the citizens of Chattahoochee oounty, Os.,
met in mass meeting at Consets, Saturday,
August 29, 1874.
On motion of Capt. D. C. Cody, Tho#.
DeWolf, Esq., waa oalled to the chair, and
J. H. Wooldridge requested to act an Sec
retary.
Hon. W. A. Farley, in a few brief and
pointed remarks, explained the object of
the meeting, viz: To take steps to nomi
nate a candidate to represent the oounty
in the next General Assembly.
On motion of Capt. D. C. Cody, tbs cit
izens present from the different Militia
Districts were requested to get together,
select three delegates each, and these del
egates to make the nomination.
Carried.
Before all the delegates were selected,
it was suggested by Col. H. Bussey, that,
perhaps, it would be best to defer the
nomination for the present, and let the
District elect the delegates, send them up
some future day, sod nominate.
D. H. Yancey, Etq., agreed with Col,
Bussey, and made a motion to that effeot.
The vote was taken, and the suggestion
lost.
Dr. A. Raiford moved that so much
of Capt. Cody’a motion as provides
for the nominating by delegates be
reconsidered and the meeting en masse
proceed to the nominations; thia
also lost. The following delegatee were
enrolled, viz: Jamestown District—Thos.

A Mix-Ton Block of Bold Ore.
Denver News, August 99.]
A blook of gold ore, three feet wide,
seven feet long, weighing 12,000 pounds,
and worth several hundred dollars per ton,
waa thrown out by a single blast, Friday,
in the far-famed Gregory mine, which, ii
is assumed, is the strongest and richest
gold lode in the country. Efforts were
made by the miners, aaystbe Central
Register, to raise the enormous block to
the surface intact, bat, even after it bad
undergone a good deal of trimming, it
was found too large to admit of being
raised through the shaft, and too heavy to
be safely entrusted to the hoisting appa
ratus. The mass waa then so shattered as
to destroy itH value aa a apeoimen.
THE NEW UDl.n BEUION.
HOW AND WHERE GOLD WAS FOUND.
The correspondent of the New York
Tritune who accompanied General (’lis
ter's expedition through the Black Hills
country, gives the following account of
the discovery of the gold regiou:
THE FIRST OOLD.
Here, on the 20th of July, we found
lao the first good evidences of quartz
rook. Our miners’ expirience chimed in
with the nurmiee of the geologist. They
begau to prospect here, but did not find
the glittering encouragement they sought.

onr miners to work still more
dilligently. What they most noedod was
not a field bnt an opportunity. The dis
covery of gold was not the prime object
of the expedition, and the other interests
of the exploration could not be entirely
sacrificed to the incidental one. Our
marches were so long that after getting
into camp tho miners had but little time
to search. However, they made good use
of their time, and worked with u patient
aud commendable industry. The Right
of gold-bearing quartz to an old miner
kindles hopeful ardor which is not easily
discouraged.
At lastthis hope and patience were more
tangibly rewarded. On the 510th of July
we halted about noon in a pleasant valley
schist,
—As the 8th of Decenfber approaches,
the transit of Venus becomes more and
more a theme for newspaper and conver
sational oomwent. We believe that nearly
fifty observing parties are already at their
several posts, erecting observations and
placing their instruments in position.
These phenomena are chiefly useful in de
termining problems of celestial distance.
The exact distance of tho sun is still un
determined with that accuracy which
astronomical science requires. After this
transit, the nett will ooour iu December,
1882, and the next in June, 2004. It is
somewhat remarkable that the year of the
last transit, 1709, gave birth to twelve of
the most remarkably men that ever
lived—Napoleon Bonapart, Duke of Wel
lington, Marshal Soult, Marshal Ney, Sir
Mark Brunei, the engineer of the Thames
tunnel, Mehemet Ali, Sir Thomas Law
rence, Castlereagb, Cuvier, Humboldt,
Chateaubriand, and Turner, the painter.
—In one of the recent Indiana Con
gressional Nominating Conventions the
ballot was: Whole number of votes, 102 ;
necessary to a majority, 82; A. B., 81 j;
C. D., 80$. It was deeided, after a de
bate, that 81$ was a “majority," and the
nomination was declared. A similar case
iu Iowa last week was decided in the
same way.
within ten miles of Harney s Peak. One
of our miuers took bis pan, went to the
stream, and washed out a pan or two of
earlh taken right from the grass roots.
There waa gold there, but it was merely a
color, requiring careful manipulation and
an experienced eye to find it. The few
glittering grains, with a slight res due of
earth, we<e carefully wrapped up in a
small piece of paper and put in the
miner’s pooketbook. It wus siuip’y an
earnest of wliat was to come. The dis
covery announced created a good deal of
interest but little commotion; not half
the excitement, indeed, that the blooming
exuberance of Floral Valley produced,
Perhaps many were still incredulous.
The next day the expedition remained
in camp, and the miners had a chance to
renew their t-eurch. The result was the
discovery of a good bar, yielding from
five to seven cents per pan, which could
easily be made to pay if water wero more
plentiful there. On the succeeding day
the expedition made a march of but five
miles, and found another excellent camp,
in which Gen. Custer deeided to remain
for four or five days. Ross and McKay,
in a literal sense, found this their golden
opportunity. Along the creek, running
down the valley, very good colors were
found in the loose dirt, none of which
were worth less than half a cent a pan,
and 6ouie worth three or four cents. A
hole waa sunk in a promising bar to the
depth of six feet. Water iutruded and
embarrassed the work, but the earth pan
ned out as high as ten cents. The miners
were not able to reach the bed rook on
account of the water. An examination
of the gulch for two or three miles showed
tho existence of a succession of gold bars
of equal, and sornfc perhaps of greater
value. Time proved insufficient,however,
to test them all, or yet to define tho limits
of the gold belt even in this special lo
cality.
VALUE OF THE GOLD YIELD.
To one unacquainted with the details
and methods of mining, the discovi ry of
a gold field yielding anywhere from eight
to fifteen cents a pan may not seem a very
valuable disoovery. It depends altogeth
or, however, on the constancy and uni
fortuity of the yield, and the facility with
which it is worked. Many an old miner
will prefer a digging which yields ten
cents a pan, to one which yields a dollar
a pan, aud will justify his preference by
making ten times as much in a day at
the former, as he or any one else could
make at the latter, the difference being
that in one place it is rook, and tho soil
is excavated with difficulty, while in the
others the pans are easily filled. Where
the soil permits, a miner can shovel into
a sluice 1,500 pans a day, which, at ten
cents a pan, would yield $150 to the man.
This is considered a pretty rich yield.
The last pans taken out on Custor Gulch
—for so the miners call it—averaged teu
cents a pan, but this was from the richer
bars. The general yield would average
less. Mr. Ross is of the opiuioo, how
ever, that the gulch where the hole was
sunk would yield $50 a day to the man,
and in some places $75. At the upper
bar of the creek, there are not five inches
of water. By cutting across the stream
and putting in a dam, the miner could
then get to the bed rock without much
difficulty.
Thus far through wo have fouud large
quantities of quartz on the surface; no
gold-bearing ledges have been found. Our
miners feel sanguine, however, tliut they
exist in the hills, but they have neither
had the time nor the machinery to prose-
oute the search. For miners of small cap
ital placer mines such as those discovered
offer tlia most inducement and are attend
ed with the least risk. The cost of ma
chinery and outfit of a quartz mine would
not bo less $50,000. For a placer mine
all that is needed is a pick, pan, spade and
whip-saw. Thu sluice boxes are easily
tde. The remainder of the expeuse in
curred is for personal outfit. It is ukuuI
for three or four miners to club together,
the division of labor diminishing the ex
pense aud increasing the profits.
EXTENT OF THE OOLD AREA.
It is hardly possible to speculate with
accuracy on the extent of the gold field.
As already remarked, our miners have had
no such opportunity to explore ns would
have been afforded were the country free
from Indians, and the time of the expedi
tion less limited Many valleys lying ut
right angles to or ruuuiug parallel with
the course of the expedition were left un
noticed, though apparently bn fuvorable
for prospecting as Custer Gulch. In the
Utter place, so far as tested, tho gold sec
tion had an extent of fifteen miles, run
ning some eight or nino miles below camp,
and about five miles nbovo. In u stretch
of about ten miles along the creek our
miners report nearly a hundred bars, iu
some places three or four bars to the mile,
in others eight or ten. Those bars were
not all “prospected," and those tested wore
not uniform iu yield.
STAKING OUT CLAIMS.
An old man and his wife who came
m by the Central road yesterday morning,
saw about thirty hecks et the door of the
depot, and about thirty bookmen shouting
‘Hack ! ’ at them. The man took it all as
a high compliment, and turning to the
old lady he>aid, I‘tell you, mother, they
think we ere something great, or they’d
never had all these carriages down here
to meet us. I wonder how they knew we
was ooming?’ ''—Detroit Free Free*.
intend to work the same as soon as peace-
aide possession can be had of this portion
of tho Territory by the General Govern
ment. And we tlo hereby locate the above
claims in accordance with- the laws of
Dakota governing the mini eg district*.’’
Ft-rhaps if this notice were translated
into Sioux, and copies sent to Red Cloud
and Two Bears, this announcement would
create more of a sensation than it is likely
to make in Wall street. At present the
Black Hills are included in the Indian
reservation, and are not eligible to white
Bottlers; but sooner or later, say the
claimants, the Government must remodel
the treaty And open the doors to the white
man.
We IcelMd Millennial.
It is a common saying in Northern
couutrios that “God created the world
but the devil made Iceland." The prov
erb forcibly expresses the bleak desola
tion of the land. A fringe of greenness
about a dark and gloomy conglomeration
of sterile valleys and steep cliffs comprises
the habitable portion of Iceland and sup
ports its population of 70,000. The in
:erior of the island consists of dreary and
unsightly wastes of lava, filled with rifts
and ttasurea, broken up by steep ham*
mocks and rugged mountain heights, in
stinct with voTeanio energies. Here and
there Rome spots of fertile soil afford grass
and water, and make possible travel
across the interior, iustesd of a oironit
by the coast, but in the strip of territory
along thd coast consists the domain of
the Icelandic nation. Here they pasture
the flocks from which they obtain the
wool whiab is one of their staple articles
of export, and from here conduct the ex
tensive fisheries from which they derive
their chief sustenance and commerce.
Although nurtured in this stern end in
hospitable climate, aud dwellers upon
a soil too sterile to yield mnoh reward
to labor, the character of this people it
dignified by mauy fine qualities and ele
vated .virtues. Their type of national
character in Homeric in its simplicity and
diguity. They cannot be said to be poor,
as what they deem the comforts of life
are within the reach of all of them who
are industrious. There is no repressing
degrees of social caste among them, and
the industrious servant of the farmer
marries his daughter and rears his family
with the same habits of industry and vir
tue. Nor are they ignorant or unrefined,
but, on the contrary, a strong love of
knowledge is characteristic of them,
They cherish a high national pride, which
manifests i'self in a familiar knowledge
of their history and literature. Books
obtain their greatest value among them ;
their condition of life so abridges their
enjoyments that they make the most of
those they have ; so that their reading is
thorough and exact, find the matter it con-
veys well digested and assimilated to their
understanding. A vein of poetry and ro
mance overlays their sterner qualities, and
they hold their scalds and sagas in high
honor. Tho Scandinavian mythology is
familiar to them, and it9 wild and roman
tic legends have for them significance
and meaning. Their language is peculi
arly musical and adapted to poetic use,
and poetic talent ih common among them.
Even the schoolboys are informed of their
history to the minutest dot 41, end while
probably entirely ignorant of Christopher
Columbus, will tell you of the discovery
of America by Leif Ericaon in 1001.
The national character was strikingly
displayed in their celebration of their
milleuial anniversary, which began on the
2d instant, continuing several days. The
Republic of Icoland was first organized in
874, so that this year completes the mil-
lenimu of its national existence. The
aucient Republic wus betrayed to Norway
in 1241, and passed under its rule in 12(54.
By the uuiou of Denmark and Norway in
15180, its sovereignty passed to Deumark,
where it has since continued, and the
feeling of loyalty is very strong among
the Icelanders, although they detest the
Danes. The millenian anniversary was
signalized by a visit from King Christian
of Denmark aud the promulgation of a
new constitution, by which Iceland se
cures local independence and release
from the taxation of Denmark. The first
day’s oelobration consisted of a visit by
the King to the Cathedral in Reikiavik,
where, after a sermon, a noble anthem,
both music and words, composed by Ice
landers in honor of the day, wua sung
with remarkable power and sweetness, the
emotions of the audience responding to
the words, so that tears of joy flowed down
their cheeks. Later in the day a banquet
to the King was given, in which be gave
the first toast to the honor of old Iceland
in the true Norse style. As he touched
the goblet to his lips, the oannon boomed
and the people cheered. Iu the eveuing
the people of the town gathered at a hill
near by, and songs and speeches closed
the day. Bayard Taylor contributed a
fine ode, “America to Iceland," which
was rendered into Icelandic by one of
their poets and snug on tho occasion.
For several day* the celebration contin
ued, marked throughout by a dignity and
simplicity surrounding it with more true
grandeur than could have been conveyed
by tho greatest pomp or elaboration of
display.—Baltimore American.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Patterson And Hie Riflemen
Charleston, September 1.—The Sac*
amt Courier referring to Senator Patter
son's application to the Provident f<*r
troops to suppress an apprehended out
break, says there are at this time iu South
Carolina some twenty-eight Hoini*uiilitnry
organizations. They may be called rifle
clubs, iussmuch as most of the members
on parade bear arms of some kiud.
Eighteen of these clubs are in Charles
ton, and have been in course of formation
for the past eight years. The remaining
olubs have been receutly formed iu places
where the loaders of the uegroes
have been especially turbulent
and threatening. The avorage number of
men iu eaoh club does not oxoeod fifty,
and there is no battaliou or brigade or
ganization, nor have the clubs any com
mon commander; instead, therefore, of
25,009 armed and disciplined white sol
diers, of whom Senator Patterson speaks,
who have at utmost 1,500 uudrillcd and
unmobilized members of rifle clubs, mauy
of whom are without serviceable wea
pons, and have no aiuunitiou. There is,
however, in every county, an armed forco
that, strangely enough, Senator Pattersou
forgets to mention. It ia the uational
guard of the State, otherwise the nuilitiu,
which is oomposed exclusively of negroes,
is fully armed and equipped by the State,
aud is offioered by the moat unscrupulous
Radical politiciana, such as the Colonel
Jones,whose pranks iu Georgetown lately,
are known to the oountry. There ia no
danger of auy disturbance in South Caro
lina, unless it be brought on by tho
haranguing of Senator Pattersou and
coll color Workington.

land, on the 15th inst. The reason for
the declination is the large increase of
money transactions at this spasou, which
does not admit of absenoe for tho longth
of time he would necessarily be engaged
abroad. Mr. Rambusch, a clerk in the
Foreign Mails Bureau, has been appointed
in hia place as assistant delegate to ac
company Mr Blackfan, Superintendent
of that Bureau, who will represent the
United 8tates. The Congress will be com
posed of the Heads of Post Office Depart
ments of all the nations of Europe, with
the exception of Englaud, who sends her
Assistant Secretary. The object is to con
sult, and simplify and reduce the rates,
and make uniform tt)e exchange of cor
respondence between all nations.

subjected to the influences referred to, is
even consistent with an honest mind."
