It is Located In Banks County! Wbtle in Homer last week we saw a portion of the skeleton of an Indian, which has been recently exhumed in the Hollingsworth neigh borhood, and connected with which there is a curious history. Some five or six years ago, Capt. I. W. Alex ander, while on % visit to Alabama, learned from an uncle residing there, who is superin tendent of the county poor-house, that a very aged Spanish woman who died in that institu tion and who had resided for many years among the Cherokee Indians in Georgia, bad frequently told him of the fabulous richness aud great extent of a wmemnW Reid & Harris Keep always on hand, at their Barber shop, a loi of the most superior Hair Tonic, which removesdandruff.

That is, she so accurately described the location that Capt. A. felt confident it was in the neighbor hood of Hollingsworth. After his retnru to Georgia be determined to hunt for this won derful mine—which he did, from lime to time, as opportunity offered, but without success, until recently his long search was rewarded by finding what he supposed to be the identi cal spot described. He commenced AN EXCAVATION, where it seemed, from tho large amount of broken quartz, that mining had been carried ou before. After removing the small loose rocks to the depth of about two feet, be un covered A HUMAN SKELETON, which ho believed to be that of an Indian, from the beads and other trinkets found buried with it. The qnartz, or whatever it is, appears to bo rich in some mineral, which is believed to be silver. The supply is said to be inexhaustible and beyond computation—there being exposed to view MILLIONS OF TONS ! If it is silver, it is the richest asd most exten sive mine in the world. Tho great Nevada '* bonanza" is a mere minnow in comparison with this whale ! We brought away a sample of tho ore, which we placed in the hands of a scientific gentle man for examination. He has promised to re port in a day or two. We await his opinion with much anxiety. In the meanwhile, we beg our readers to keep cool and not get ex cited. We beard in Homer that the State Geolo gist bad pronounced the oro superior to any found in Nevada, but Mr. Alexander assured us that he had not bad any report from him. Missing Letters. Among the many letters which have failed to reach “ theso headquarters” within the past few weeks was one from Col. Price, of Dab- lonega, containing a remittance of five dollars This thing has become an intolerable nuisance, and we are very tired of it. Besides the actual loss of uiuney, it has caused many of onr friends to accuse us of want of proper attention to business. If the parties who abstract our let ters from the mails will let them passthrough unmolested, we will make a liberal division with them of onr cash receipts. Or, if this proposition does not suit them, we implore them to permit the letters to come on after they abstract the money enclosed. Any thing will bo hailed as an improvement. ■embly—all the Synods from Maryland to Mexico forming the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the South. This lat ter body meets next month at St. Louis. In all matters of discipline, an appeal can he taken from each of these four courts to the one next higher, &e decision of the General Assembly being final. Anguata Presbytery, at its recent session, received reports from, its various churches, considered and discussed various topics;of in terest to the church, and arranged for the sup ply of its vacant churches and destitnte field, by appointing Rev. R. W. Milner as Evange list, or Home Missionary, for the Presbytery Measures were also initiated for missionary work among the oolored population. Daring the meeting, night service was held in the Presbyterian cbnrcb, and the pnlplts of fonr of our city churches (the Presbyterian, Bap tist, first and second Methodist) were filled by ministers of the Presbytery on the Sabbath Rev. Henry Newton was Moderator of the body, and Rev. Dr. Irvine and Col. J. A. Bil lups were chosen as Commissioners to the Gen oral Assembly. An interesting and appropriate close of the meetiog was a missionary sermon on Sabbath afternoon by Rev. L. H. Wilson ot Clarkesville, a son of Missionary parents and born in India. The sermon was very impressive and all the more so because by a minister horn in Asia— whoso mother was once a member of the Athens Presbyterian Church. The meetings of Presbytery were interesting and it is hoped that the abundant and excel lent preaching by the visiting members will yield great and permanent results among our people. L. Personal.

Mr. Simpkins, although a young man, is admirably qualified for teaching, and our Banks frieuds residing iu the reach of Ho mer have the opportunity of sending their children to a good school. Wo do not mean to convoy tho impression that there is but one good school in Banks. By uo means ; but that this is one of the best in the county. “ Gone, Glimmering.” Wo learned at Homer last week that the Clerk of the Superior Court of Banks county had “ stepped down and out” aud gone to “ parts uuknowu."

Quite a large sum was realized from sale of tickets, which was divided between the Memorials and the Knights of Pythias. Atlanta Herald. Having sold his interest to Col. Alston, Col I. W.
