TREASURES.
Deep in the bosom of Ocean are hidden
Jewels whose lustre and worth are untold,
Unknown, unsought, in their cairn depths
abiding,
They rest while the salt waves their
beauties unfold.
The blue sea above them all widely is
flowing,
No token exists of their dwelling below—
'i he sunset at eve and the broad noontide
glowing--’,
In vain light the spot where these hid
den gems glow.
‘ 1 ill haply some diver, for sea pearls geek
ing
May meet with those gems shining se
cret and lone,
And soon the deep spell of their sol ;< “de
breaking,
tl<e rich treasures and make them
his own.
And thus w ithin many a bosom all lone
ly
Is hidden a deep mine of heart’s wealth
unknown,
Unsought by the one ia whose powers •
’tis only
To bring those bright jewels to light one .
by one.
The pure gems of truth and love still lie
hidden,
With none to awaken the feelings’ soft
glow,
Until a chance word, or a glance, all
unbidden,
Reveals the deep tide that is swcllingbe
low.
Seek well for those graces than bright
jewels rarer,
That mostly shrink from the thoughts
of display,
Flo’wrets that bloom in the shade, all are
fairer--’
Than those which coon, show in the
broad glare of day.
THE RESOURCES OF THE
COUNTRY ALONG .THE
AIR- LINE RAILWAY
FROM ATLANTA,
GA.. TO CHAR
LOTTE, N. C.
There is, we believe, no territo
ry of sinjOar extent in the United
States that presents so varied
conditions of soil, water, min
erals, climate, and vegetable
products as that lying along
the Air-Line Railway between
Atlanta Georgia, and Charlotte,
North Carolina. In examining
its geology commencing with At
lanta we find first a Silurian for
mation-composing gemly sloping
hills with corresponding rich
coves or rich vales interspersed
with creeks and rivulets. This
primitive formation we believe
extends above Gainsville, and is
scarcely equaled in the world for
its productiveness in grain,
and cotton. On the left and par
alcl with the Rail-way is the
ridge that divides the water's of
the Gulf of Mexico and the At
lantic Ocean. This ridges 0 diff
erent points, from 50Q to 1300
feet above sea level, and pre
sents on its top a large plateau
over which bracing, salutory bree
zes constantly pass, and on which
is pure water, rich soil, iusviou
fruits, and luxuriant grain. Run
ning out of this ridge to the
AVcst are unnumbered streams
whichfiow into the Rapid Chatta
hooche which runs throughout its
length pararallel to the Rail-Way.
To the right and east of the rail
road also rise unnumbered stream
which wind their way down fer
tile valleys to the extreme
northern portion of the State.
Above. Gainsville the physical
geography of the country on both
sides of the Rail road is sublime
ly picturesque—unsurpased for
grandeur by any on the conti
nent. Amid the towering moun
tains sleep fertile valleys, front
out their bases gush sparkling
waters of endless variety around
theiy sides ever s|ort mmmers
breezes as gentle and cool as
evening zephyrs and from one |
to another echoes the shrill strong
voice of America's hardiest ponu
latioij’
hi this territory alone there is
utilizablo waterpower enough j
to run al! the machinery in. the
■ United States. No country of
i equal extent has such an incal
culable amount of accessible wa- i
ter powers. Yet this power is '
supposed to spend itself to no t
purpose right in the midst of a i

for its manufacture, with sikJi
matured advantagesit is surpri
sing that every little stream in
New England should be lined
with workshops to which they
transport not only the raw ma
terial to be manufactured but
also the bread and meat consum
ed by the factory hands, while
here on this Air Line Railroad
are unnumbered water powers
wasting their energies and all
materials needed by manufactu
rers are comparatively cheap.
Tiie minerals of this section are
various, abundant, apd valuable.
Gold bearing veins traverse it in
every direction. The first gold was
obtained here about 1823. For
about fifteen years from that pe
riod the gold-ttasliing feever
raged. The farmers, after crops
were laid by, took their hands
and washed for gold. Millions of
dollars were thus obtained. La
ter they pounded the rocks and
got from two to five dollars per
day to the hand. Then followed
the pounding mills with pestles
too light to do the work well. In
fact all mining operations here as
yet have been of the rudest char
acter. The hydraulic arrange
ments near Dahlonega might be
successful if they were backed
by capital and practical intelli
gence. Gold mining in this sec
tion is in itsjnfancy for the globe
claims no spot which offoids finer
prospects for gold. All through
this gold region there is silver
and lead. In the mountainous
portions ’there is some iron, and
abundant copper, and some zinc.
The flexible sandstone (Itacol
umite) is abundant near Flowery
Branch. Tule soapstone, asbestos
and mica are also abundant. In
the mountainous portions is also
found the finest marble. The dia
mond is found in the gold belt.
Thus far it has been picked up
in most cases accidently by per
sons who-knew not its value but
admired its brilliancy. The na
tural diamond is covered with a
crust so that it does not exhibit
its brilliancy. Hence there may
bo here a large number that have
remained ungothod. fieryi has
also been found on the head wa
ters of the Oconee, and there is
no doubt that its associates, sap
phire, corrundum, the ruby, and
the emerald—can al&a bo foqnd
there. They all have the same
constitution, being pure alumnae
crystalized.
We knoAV of no country having
so many mineral springs. They
are found all through this sec
tion and are of the greatest varie
ty. Their medicinal properties
are unequaled.
In nothing is this section moje
interesting than in the character
of Us vegetable productions. The
extensive forests are thick with
oak, pine, ash, hickory, poplar,
and walnut of the finest quality
for all wood works. Northern
manufacturers declare these tim
bers unsurpassed, if equalled, for
strength, elasticity, and dura
bility. Yet the wagon makers
at Cumming send North for their
wood material ? Flowers and
fruits of nearly every known, and
of .many an unknown, variety
grow profusely over the fields
and woods. There exist no finer
field for the employment of intel
ligent and sagacious botanists and
fruit growers than this.
Moreover this whole section, as
yet, is comparatively unexplored,
what is known of it has been al
most forced upon us. At Du
luth, Flowery Branch, and all
along the Air-Line are mineral
ore. without name, and conse
quently with no appreciated val
ue. All over the country are i
vegetables, and fruits whose vir
j tues are unknown. In truth we

XOIICROSS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1873.
WOMEN WANTING WORK.
There are women all over Geor
gia ivanting work. Our civil war
left us hundreds of widows and
fatherless girls, They then call
ed piteously for work, and it was
then supposed that they would
soon find work and their piteous
cry be hushed, But eight long
years have passed, and still the
cities and the country are flood
ed with women actually begging
work —begging even the privi
lege of making bread by the
sweat of their brows. All these
women do not come from those
widowed and orphaned by our
cruel war. No, they come from
all classes of our citizens and
from all parts of the South, and
now the pres® and the people want
to 1 now what can be done with
them and for them.
This question is easy to solve
because it admits of but one so
lution. We must do all we can
for them. But the question is,
what is the cause of this state of
affa rs, and how can this cause be
removed ?
The cause, as we conceive, is to
be found in our false and ineffi
cient system of female education,
and in our false, social usage,
College Eaculities through their
curriculums say to parents, “We
shall polish your daughers, as
far as possible, They will natu
rally marry, have husbands to
support them and their hands full
of domestic duties. It is there
fore unnecessary to give them
any thing like a business educa
tion.” To all this society assents
and even dubbs her who de
mauds a qualification for busi
ness. The girl goes to school,
graduates at eighteen, returns
to the parlor to vvait “for some
thing to turn up,” and there she
spends the morning of her life as
ai.uless as if she had no mission.
This inactivity makes her feel
useless. She becomes addicted
to unlimited novel reading, loves
social frivolity and in most cases
becomes self-indulgent and de
pendent. Does not this helpless
ness and niental vacancy affect
a woman's piarrying? If she
have a large income it may not.
But the average Georgia girl
has not the income and if she
cannot earn a living she must
marry, and marry she does fora
home without love. This howev
er, results generally in a divorce
case, and she is thrown at last
upon herseif.
Again, there are many women
who never marry ? and many
who marry become -widows. If
they have wealth, it is constant
ly changing. No one knows how
soon the burden of self-support
will be thrust upon them, and
poverty inflicts them most who
remember better days and are too
proud to work. There are many
such women in Georgia to-day.
They are victims of a graceful
illness, a mercenary marriage,
and a disqualification for making
a living. They can not do work,
and hence cannot get work.
The assumption the part of so
ciety that girls will probably mar
ry and be supported by their
husbands is true. But it is equal
ly true that they will probably
be forced to work for a living.
In the first case they find an ab
sorbing occupation in the care
of husband, children, and home.
In the latter case they should be
prepared forth 3 work, and the
College faculties and that
social usuage which teach them
to neglect this preparation are
false and hurtful. Work is no
I less honorable for women than
| for men. We must increase
their independent possibilities
and the sooner we reconstruct
I our curriculums and correct pub
| lie sentiment on this point the
! sooner will Georgia be rid of wo
men begging for work,
j 3.
Tom Scott has achieved another
’ triumph over Garnett, of the Bal
i Um ore and Ohio Rairoad.by con-
I tracting with the management of
thej’hiladelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, by which the
Baltimore and Potomac road, the
new branch of the Pennsylvania
ICentral, will have the exclusive
; right to run their trains over that
road. This gives the Pennsylvania
Central control of the only direct
line between here and New York,
they having control of the New
Jersey roads, and will compel the
Baliiniore railroad to seek a new
1 outlet to New York, part of the
i way by water.
EYES.
What a variety of eyes there
r are in the world ? There are lov
1 ing eyes, admiring eyes, longing
inqusitive eyes, jealous eyes, en
; vious eyes, malicious eyes, smil
hig eyes,tearful eyes,meddlesome
5 eyes, penetrating eyes, and eyes
; that look and see nothing, besides
many other kinds of eyes wjiich,
in their own peculiar way, are
peering ir.to the world’s myste
ries.
‘ A good way to make loving
j eyes, is to be true, devoted and
s thoughtful of home comforts.
Tq attract admiring eyes, be
1 cheerful, tidy and industrious.
To cure longing eyes, call in
and give some supper to the poor,
: Imlf-starved. little creature, who
is gazing at your b.ouutifully sup
plied table.
To satisfy inquisitive eyes, let
them see the very thing they had
rather not.
To avoid jealous eyes, be nei
ther distrustful nor do that to
another \yhich you vtould not
have done to you.
To avoid envious eyes,be squint
eyed, hump-backed, disagreeable,
and no sort of use to anybody.
To keep clear of malicious eyes
die at once and go to heaven.
To cause smiling eyes, speak
kindly, deal gently and be light
hearted and merry, remembering
life is to enjoy.
Have tearful eyes whenever
the heart is full. It is a good
way to work off troubles and
lighten the spirit.
To avoid meddlesome eyes
stay at home, lock all doors and
draw the curtains. Thon if they
look in through the keyhole,
throw hot water on them, if you
are over sensitive ; otherwise go
ahead with your affairs in your
own way, and Let them med
dle.
Penetrating eyes must lock up
and try to forget all the secrets
discovered of the shortcoming of
others, only remembering the
beautiful things which the blind
cannot see.
.F\m? that l&A>k and see
nothing there is no cure, except
ing an awakening of soul or in
tellectual energies. Will it not
be in heaven where all eyes see
clearly and from kindly motives ?

THE GIF! OF TACT.
What a wonderful oil upon the
machinery of human affairs tilct
is. To know just what to say,
, and when to say it and to whom
to say it; to know when to be
silent, and deferentially to listen,
is a great gift. No one can ful
-7 appreciate this quality who
has not had the misfortune of
living with a blundering person,
who never moves nor speaks
without unintentioally wounding
or offending somebody. Conti
guity with such a one is fearful
to the nerves, and temper too,
We doubt whether ftact, in any
considerable degree? can be ac
quired. born with some and
lis natural to them as the color
of their eyes or hair. We have
seen little children who were
peifect in it, without the slight
est idea of course, of the diplo
macy they were enacting.
OWNERSHIP IN WOMEN,
There is an instinct in the heart
of every woman which tells her
that his to whom she giyes
herseif, and his alone—an instinct |
which bids her cling to him ’
while she lives or he lives—
which inden tides her life * with
his—which makes of him and her
twain, one flesh. When this gift
is once made to a true man, he
recognizes its significance. He
is to provide for her that which
she cannot provide for herself:
* be is 10 protect her to the extent
iof his power; she is to share his
; home, and to be his closest com
i pauion. His ownership in her
| covers his most sacred posses-
I sion. and devolves upon him the
1 gravest duties. If it were other
wise, why is it that a woman who
gives herself away unworthily
feels when she finds herself de
ceived, that she is lost?—that she
has parted with herself to one
who does not recognize the nature
of the gift, and that she who
ought lobe owned, and by being
owned.honored,disowned and dis
honored J There is no true, f pure
■ woman living who,when she gives
away, doesnot rejoice in the own
ership which makes her forever
the property of one man. She is
not his slave, or to be tasked and
. abused, because it is the gift of
■ I love and not the purchase of mon-
Jey; but she is his, in a sense in
, j which she eannot be another
, man s without damnation to him
‘j and damnation to herself.— Dr.
j Holland.

LAST PAYMENT OF THE FRENCH
WAR INDEMNITY.
In paying the last instalment of their
war indemnity, the French people have
: completed a feat unparalleled in the annals
of the world. In but a little over two
years they have ransomed their territory
from the conquerors by paying one thous
and millions of dollars in gold, and that
too without suspending specie payments ;
without reducing their annual budget of
expenditures, and without inflicting any
appreciable injury on the country. It
is very true that their burdens have bee”
greatly increased in the shape of additional
taxation, but they have borne the weight
with a patience and patriotism which are
sublime in their heroism.
France is a rich country. Eighteen
years of unprecedented prosperity under
Napoleon 111. has gh en them a wea'th se
cond only to that of Great Britain. But
while there was plenty of money In France
to pay the indemnity, and while tthe
credit of the country was superb, it
required a self-sacrificing spirit of pa
triotism to perform the feat in the
brief space of time in which it has been
performed. Without reflecting upon the
love of country of any people, we may
well wonder if any others in the world
than the French would have acted as well
and as promptly under the same circum.
stances. To love France with all the ardor
and passion of a son for his mother, is
with a Frenchman a second nature; thus,
when we hear in ev- ry part of France,
whether in city or in village, from morning
till bight, the monotonous refrain, “Mou
rir de la I’a trie,” we can understand the
depth of feeling and the lover like devo
tion for the land of his nativity which has
to-day given to Fnmce and to Frenchmen
a blighter glory than wai- has ever won
them.
Free now from the presence pf the arm
ed conqueror, the Jilrench le£j. to work
out their own future. If they are as pru
dent as they arc self-sacrificing, they will
avoid anything like an irraling p-l ey.
We fear, however, that with thcretiremei.t
ot the German army the entire energies of
France will be bent towards preparing for
another war with Germany. Nothing but
the knowledge that with part of their ter
ritory occupied by a hostile army they
would be at a great disadvantage, has
vented the feeling from breaking out long
ago. And, indeed,' it has required all the
influence of the leaders of the several par
ties to smotlicr the desire for revefige Avhich
seems to burn with tewible fury in the
breast of .every Frenchman, Unfortu- 1
nately for the peace 04 Europe all the
Frcach leaders havg quieted the masses by
begging thesy to v ait until the payment of
the war indemnity was complete. Now, ;
that it has been all paid they will be taxed
to their utmost to invent means of allaying
tio thirst for a chance to retrieve the dis- i
asters of 1870. We doubt, indeed if they
will be able to repress the feeling; hence it
will not surprise us to hear it if the pay
ment of the indemnity is followrd by gi
gantic preparations for another war, which
will only end either in the wresting of more
territory from France or in the recovery of
Alsace and Lorraine and the realizing of
that long dream of Frenchmen, the Rhine (
f<*r the boimdaiy of Ersyice;. ’
But whatever rashness the French may
display it cannot take away from them the
tiue glory they have coined in their sub
lime patriotism and self-sacrifices for the
redemption of their country. Friend and
foe alike unite in applauding their conduct
and the sentiments of admiration arc as
loud and as he rty in Berlin as they are in
any other part of the civilized world.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF TIIE DEM
OCRATIC PARTY.
The Democratic party, now fairly rid of
the incubus waich for the time paralyzed
its energies, has only the more firmly
pledged its adhesion to the enduring princi
ples of its foundation—principles destined
to outlive all tl>e reactions based on real or
supposed defections from them. Oj; the
other hand, the Republican party, even if,
taken at its own valuation, is discharged of
all significance by the destruction of slave
ry, and now finds only ip “the cohesive
power of public plunder” the secret of its
confederation. It is no wonder, then, that
this secret is perpetually coming to Fght
lin Credit Mobilier speculations, in the
! “salary grab,” and the pillage of the ,cou
them States which, in tiie name of “free
dom,” iiave been robbed alike of their sub
stance and of their liberties.
Never was there such need for the Dem
ocratic party as when the reactionary par
ty, which for a time has thriven on the j
abuses of an extinct social system, no
longer remains except to point a warning
against the inevitable degeneration of any
combination wjdch, having exhausted the
conditions of its public usefulness, it is
left to spend its strength i« building up are
tificial encroachments in which it may pre
serve the wealth and power of its leaders
at the expense alike of civil liberty, of per
sonal right, and of common honesty.
Mr. and Sirs. Barney Vi illiupis arc now
residing in their villa, at L. I. Mr. Wil
liams is suffering from paralysis of the
nerves of his left eye, and his physicians
order absolute mental rest, and think that
by. the comii t g spring, under their treat
mmt, he will recover his usual health,
In consequence he has cancelled all profes
sional engag -ments made for the coming
season, and will remain in this country,
at such points as his physicians may dic
tate.

who takes an erf jjy q ;s or a oman
