FOR THE RECORDER.

Why not Jiff lor it ?
Mr. Gath right,
On looking over the daily' reports of
financial distress a d Bankruptcies from New
O le-ms to the State of Marne, that is now
pinching not only tie Merchant but the Plan
ter, Mechanic and Laborer every wheie--a
Lumpkin town y man cannct but feel that
there is a loop hole of retreat from penury, aye
a door opm to profit Georgians in the Gold
Mmes of oir county. During the l ist 18
months, men who were doing well among us
by working tor Gold, have done worse by
going away. Capital has been diverted into
other channels, and carried io other places
after having been raised here by pr >fi able dig
ging, and it is probable some of those who
have left us, wish they were safe ba< k again
at their old trade. Is it possible that toe
opinion generally prevails that our Alines are;
exhausted ! it so. tne disappuin ed speculator j
in Land < r N< gious, and the planter whose
last ciop d ies iimi pay for me making, had
better come up here atui enquire ol the dozen
or two companies ol ii<u.d> now at work, how
they are making out, some of these J opine,
not caring 'o make a biowing-horn of their
ma: era and jealous of the scrutiny of the
suffering low country, will give indirect an
sweia and tell diem luey m ike a pennyweight
to the hand, or perhaps two bands tu me dwt.,
more magnanimous spin s will say that the
Mines wnerever laitlifuily wurk<d arep«ymg
as well as they ever did, that the nidusnous
proprietor an make <>s mm h or more, by mi
ning than by any utbei pursuit, and that me
laborer tan get as good wages and as sure pay
as he can any were else.
Why do not men who have folllowed a dis
appointing business in planting the last year
investigate the resources of our county, obtain
leases oi make purchases of some ol the valu
able mines about us and put bands to work
npou them, it is well known that even time
mines that have been worked will pay for
Winking ovei again, and there are many good
lots lh.it have not been tocuchi d.
My present object is to arouse from the apa
thy (hat fas so long exist* d on this subject,
the many enterprising men who just now du
noi know what to be at in this no money crims,
and wiio, if they would come among us would
like us, and our Gold Mne Country. W here
can thrv have t fitter iicaldi, where can they
get pr >vi.sn ns chvapt r, where cau more money
be made ? For my part, allho 1 Io not pre
tend io be a prophii, I would hoi lor the good

are streams whose Hinds <r< mixed with (told,
