How ard, on the Coel, Iron, end Oil formatioi Northwestern Georgia. In oaaoing thi* examination and report to be made, the far-sighted and energe ie Super inteudent of the Western & Atlantic Railroad has displayed hi* nsual sagacity, for nothing could have been prepared to induce the capa- t ilists of the North to examine this district to on eqoal extent te the plain and straight for* ward statement of Mr. Howard, which, if ju dicioosly circulated, cannot feil to be instra- mental in developing the extraordinary re sources of the northern portion of oar 8tnte. Not having space to give the report entire, we are reluctantly compelled to content our selves with a lew brief remarks and short tracts. Commencing his ekaminatiou at Lookout Mountain, he deeeribes Round Mountain, 300 or 400 feet above the general surfaoe of Look- oat, haviDg three different scams of C09I at different elevations varying in thickness from 24 to 40 inches. This coal is excellent— preferred by blacksmiths to Tennessee, and oan supply the coal want* of Georgia for iadefiuito period. At Dag Gap, in Pigeon Mountain, there oocu/m a large quantity of ahalcf, the fritamiuous character of which in dicates oil beneath it. Again referring to eoal on Lookout, Mr. Howard says : The moautain is, here, from twelve to thir teen miles wide. From the west side of the mountain, the Alabama A Chattanooga Rail road has opened a coal mine some fifty feet from the top of the mountain. I examined, as carefully as practicable, the top of the Mountain, from its junction with Pigeon Mountain down to the point at wbioh it leaves the Georgia line, a distanoe of tome fifteen miles. Coal crops out at intervals along the whole wav, but alwaya in the thin seams referred to. That there is a vast quan tity of coal m Lookout Mountain for forty miles within (be territory of Georgia I have no doubt. The width of this Georgia coal territory variee from one to twelve miles. The Reverend gentleman, alluding to the iron resource^ says: Tbit bhinbone mountain is an almost con tinuous bed of pure fossiliferoas iron ore,from its beginning to its end. Thus the coal and the iron 01 * are within a mile of each other for a distance of more than forty miles. The time will come when this narrow valley will be filled with furuaoo. There is the eoal, the iron, lime, sand-stoue, fire-clay, the wood and the water-all thst hi needed is capital und transportation. I examined the iron are of the east aide of Taylor’s Ridge, between Maddox Gap and Treadaway. It is impossible to exaggerate the quantity and value of this ore. It te in exhaustible and is the same foosiliferoqs ore now used at Counwall and found at Round Mountain—perhaps heavier aod richer than either. As We have before said it is quite impoesi - ble in this short notice of Mr. Howard's re port do to justice to it. Hia remark* as to the proper menus to adopt to develop these vast resources are most pertinent, and indicate a careful and every elaborate examination of the entire subject. He says: “It is now a let- tied feet that we have coal, iron ore end prob ably oil, in great ubundanoe. They are now worthiest for want of transportation,’' and,after giving a variety of statistics and quotation* from Prot Daniels and T. H. Daddow, add..: Will our Georgia statesmen and lawmaker* ponder tbeee paragraph*, and avoid that fatu ity by which, in (he language of Coleridge, “our experience ia a light in the stern of a •hip, abining only over bor wake.” And concludes hi* very able paper aa fol low* Buried in her mountain*, ah* hold* in re verse for us her priceless treasures of ©oul and iron.

OcL 29ft, I860. The Convention met agreeably to call, and after several ineffectual effort* to make a uom (nation, agreed to leave the matter to a ballot of the entire party in the city. The result was the uotuluaUou of Dr. lames F Alexan der. There was, we believe, tome disaatisfac. tiem among the friends of the defeated candi dates, but effort* at reoooaidsratiou failed. The Intelligencer, particularly, was down aa well upon the nomination aa upon the result of the action of the Convention in nominating Dr. Alexander, aa will be seen by the follow ing editorial paragraph, taken from the local oolumu of that paper of the 31st October, nit: We publish, by request, the following pro oeedinga of the meeting held at the City Hail last Friday night, and m this connection will atate that* the call made for said meeting was never furnished to the Intelligencer for pub lication, and therefore it did not appear in thi* journal-but we saw the call of published in the Constitution, and we advised oar Demo cratic friend* not to have anything to do with the said proposed meeting. The iutereet of Atlanta is, and onght to be, above all party consideration, and why the necessity of making a political straggle for Mayor and Conncilmen? We are not able to see the propriety of such a course, and, therefore, have not and do not approve of what has beau dona. And again, in its issue of Novomtar 9th in stant, the following paragraph appeared in it* leading editorial column: We want the citizens, irrespective of party, to agree on a ticket for Mayor and Couueil- meu, for the ensuing yoar, and we ahull do all. we can to elect the ticket so selected. Than, it will be seen, the Intelligencer not only hold itself entirely aloof from the Democratic Convention, but also maintained a position of antagonism to the same after a choice had been effected. It wanted the citizens, “irrespec tive of party, to agreo on a ticket for Mayor and Conncilmen,” and then it promised to do all it could “to elect the ticket” thus selected! Meantime, a number of citizens—numbering over one hundred voters “irrespective ot party”—joined iu a petition to Judge fiom- moud for the use of bis name as the People’i candidate for Mayor. Of coarse, everybody expected the Intelligencer would stand by its record, and support the election of Hammond or.(in default of that) insist upon a Conven tion of the people ‘irrespective of party” for the purpose, either of ratifying Hammond’s nomination, or of making a new nomination that would accord with the Intelligencer’i theory of a Mayor “irrespective of party.” Under these circumstances, the readers of that journal were illy prepared for it* startling announcement of Wednesday morning, the 24th iost., when it hoisted the name of Dr. J. F. Alexander at the head of its editorial col umn, and supported his nomination and elec tion in a column editorial 1 We copy this ponderous editorial entire : The self-styled “ Oemocralic organ ” of this oitv, the Constitution, having most signally failed to promote harmony in the ranks of the Democracy ; und having failed to respond to the nomination of Dr. Alexander, as the Dem ocratic candidate for Mayor of Atlanta ; it will not surprise the readers of this old Democratic journal to sec raised at its masthead this morn ing, the Democratic ticket for Mayor and Al dermen, and to which, according to all Demo cratic party precedent, the Democracy of At lanta is called upon to give their individed support. Notwithstanding the oft-repeated taunts directed at the Intelligencer by the Constitution—the unfounded olaim of the lat' ter to being the only organ of Democracy, in Atlanta—wo see it, when this Democratic cita del ie assailed, wavering in its fealty to Demo cratic usage, and by its weakness and lack of decision encouraging dissension and strife where allehould be unity and harmony. The Iotelligenoer has bided ita time, certain that events 4onld soon transpire which would test the zeal of the Constitution in the Democratic cause, and its ability to lead on to another vic tory the Democracy of Atlanta. That time has arrived ; and the Intelligencer couies to the rescue. Every interest of Atlanta demands that it shall have a Democratic administration ot its corporate affairs, the ensuing year, and to this end we appeal to every Democrat, and every good citizen who has the sagaoity to sec where, in the forthcoming election, the great interests of Atiauta lie, to give zealous sup port to the Democratic ticket which appears at the head of this column. It is no “ headless trunk ” of a ticket, but a ticket with a head, and ail upon it united in the determination of maintaining Democratic supremacy in our city, for the prosperity thereof. Bally, then, Democrats, to ita aapDort I We have not a word of tensure to cast at the gentlemen who have announce. 1 them selves us independent candidates for the orac. of Mayor, or who bavo agreed to submit lb a compromise ot their claims to another nomi nation. The Democratic party cun make, and will moko do other nomination. Its action, in this regard, him been final. If then the other candidates for Mayor remain in the field they will bo cousiderod as independent candi dates, and ii a compromise between them be effected, and onlv one contests the election with Dr. Alexander, then he will do so outside of the Democratic organization md have an other, Mr. James E. William*, on the samn line, to conteat the election with him—the Democracy uniting upon Dr. Alexander. Will not this be a vain conteat ? Will any one of them who are itoognfzed a* Democrats risk tho inevitable consequences of such a com promise, nomination, eali it what they may ? For the gentlemen to whom we refer, wc^hifvo the highest pet tonal respect, and irust that boiler counsels will prevail with them than boas which the self-styled “Democratic*” and 'only Democratic organ"—the Constitution— offers thdm, ‘Ouly Democratic organ,” in* deed I What made it so? From whonoe doss 11 derive took a title? Fqr nearly twenty year* the Intolligeoccr has been the-ad vocal e of Democratic princi ples, uot one of which has it ever abandoned or dMerlsd. nor will it ever do ao under Ha present conduct. For eighteen month* or thereabouts the Constitution has had n be ing, and asserts with an abandon under its fourth editor, io that short spacu of time, a enpreui oy it ha* not won, and which it can never win. And now, npou the first trial of its ability to lead the Democratic party of the city on to euotber victory,and maintain its an- preusacy inviolate, where do the Democracy finfi.it? With a clear, indisputable majority it i* for compromise* and conoetaioos, and fora repudiation of the nomination of the DomQoraUc candidate for Mayor, made in pursuance of a resolution adopted bv the party in convention assembled. “The only Demo cratic organ” indeed. * The Democracy of tha IaielUfcooar ia of a val affairs.

Would it not be iutareetiag to know what has bean seen and heard, as touching certain combination* hereabouts, within the lost few days? “There 1* a time and a eeas« u for all (hblga;" and when ihe proper time come*, then we shall give venti- lation to many things whereof we are uot wholly in ignorance e>en “at this preseut writing.” 80 look out! Tfce Prize Ox. We understand that a largo fat bullook, from Atlanta, was on exhibition at the Btate Fait, He was originally from New York, and was sent to Georgia by express when only a large calf. lie is of the New England, short- ho rued, carpet-bag breed, And has already taken several large prize* at the Fourth Na tional Bank of New York. It is said that this breed of cattle Is of no value only for beef, and we hope that it will not be propagated in Georgia, as it cost more than the beef is worth to fatten it. This ox has been fed on green backs for more than a year, and it is thought by some that it ha* already cost more than a hundred thousand dollars to fatten him for exhibition. Mr. Kimball, of Atlanta Opera House celebrity, ban the honor of grooming th? prize ox. It was he also (hat fitted up bis stables, and who keep* it in order!—Geor gia Federal Union. The scribler who wrote the above hea sim ply injured himself without doing Gov. Bul lock the slightest harm. It is a mo6t excellent sample of what is termed Democratic respec tability in Georgia, aud we print it as such. Had Mr. Kimball located bit “stable” ia the little town of Milledgeville, it ia quite prob able the Federal Union would have been far better satisfied. As ia it, we expeot the Union to say many naughty things, and, as hereto fore, we intend to give it all the rope it may require. Tbe Intelligencer.
