There ia not a cotton buyer in LaGrange, or any other

time in the place of Tice. There are many reasons why
Rope la superior to Tins, a few ot which wo will mention,
viz: One or two Tics burst off of nearly every bale that Is
shipped front this place; then Rope must bo put iu their
place, and, of course, it comes out of the buyer. When
they burst off, thoy are perfectly worthless. Every bun
dle of Ties you buy has already in It from two to six Ties
worthless. Rope don’t give you this troublo or expense;
it is as heavy and as ehsap, and 24 per cent, more service

Progress at Troup Factory.
As Progress is a grout thing, and everybody
liken to hear of it As they like to hear and
know tho place where things are progressing
—editors more eApocially—ploaso tarn your at
tention this way.
Now while yoa are doting upon the theme of
Progress at La Grange, West Point and other
plaeos, do you think it Anything amiss to take
notice of tho progressing evonts transpiring in
our small and soemingly insignificant village?
or is it not only seemingly, but really, a place too
insignificant tor notice? I hope you will not
think ro aftor a little onliglitonment on how
things aro going on here.
One of the chief centers of attraction here
now, is the Troup Factory Store, whioh is brim
full of everything nice. They have just got in
(and are still receiving) one of tho largest,
nicest stock of goods that was ever imported
into a country store.
There is one thing, too, very remarkable
about this store, which is this: no oleagenous
and glib-tongued clerks, for lying and decep
tion, aro employed —La Grange please take no
tice—no jewing down with attompts at equivo
cation, in tho eagernoss to sell. But, on tho
contrary, prices are standard and the trir.h is
always told. Their motto is, to “ livo and let
livo," with "quick sales and small profits." If
a customer cotuosin ho is politely (old the price
of any article he may wish to inspect. Then ho
can either buy or let it alone. Anderson is our
clerk and book-keeper still. Everybody in the
country, I guess, kuows him; therefore it need
only be added that he does liis business and ho
docs it well. No doubt this big stock will ma
terially curtail the flow of trado from this sec
tion into the La Grango market. For who is
going to wear out teams transporting product
to, and goods from tliero, over suoh hills, too,
ns aro between here and there, when they ciui
get the same price for their produce here, and,
on the other hand, got goods equally as cheap,
aud if,Auything better, ten miles nearer home ?
This b^f stock is just wkut this section has
been Wanting a long time, to savo them tho
trouble of having to go to La Grange.
Thon thero is tho factory, turning off the very
best goods, of its kind, that can be made. Any
person using the goods now manufactured here
aud will say conscientiously, that they are not
the very best, can just take my pipe and tobacco
for lying. Hero we have Mr. Hill for our Su
perintendent , who is a livo, honorablo and en
ergetic manager. Mr. Hill, though a native
Rhode Islander, aud a Yankee, is no radical.—
He, in consequence of his superior skill, inge
nuity as a mechanic and machinist, is always
alive to anything having a toudency toward tho
improvement of tho machinery for making nice
and durable goods.
Here we have too a largo merchant grist
mill, in full operation, which makes as good
meal and nice flour as anybody need to want.
Mr. Garret, tho raillor, is a pleasing and obliging
gentleman to his customers. How can he be
otherwise, after taking the enormous swear,
while in prison at Rock Islind, that if he ever
got out alive he would strive to get employ
ment in a grist mill or a bakery. Ho wanted to
get whore he would be better bred than he was
there.
Farmers noed uot lack for wool rolls, either,
for here is the place to have them made as nice
as can be. Auy customers coming iuto our
town aro waited upon by the most accommo
dating gentlemen. To show what enterprising
and energetic men we have at tho head of af
fairs here, I will state that our Agent, Book
keeper and .Superintendent, each aro’enrrying on
farms respectively to themselves. Now don’t
you see they are getting along well and making
money foot?—and isn’t making money essential
to Progress? Why Mr. Leslie made a while
bale of cotton "to his part” this year; which
halo only cost him about two hundred dollars,
or upwards. He at first concluded to store it,
in hopes of the advancement of the price, so,
if it wore possible, ho might realize enough to
defray the expenses incurred in the production
of his crop. But I believe he has at last suc
cumbed and sold, realizing about twenty-three
cents on the sale of it But, by tho way, after
all he did better than most of them will do, for
hiH crop all round. He thinks so many have
gone wild on the cotton mania—so many moro
men have turned farmers, in the production of
that staple, (he being one of their number) this
year over that of last that, in consequence of
the large increase this year aud the overflooding
of tho market thereby, cotton will, undoubted
ly decline; and of course has somewhat saved
himself by disposing of his in time, nnd, he
thinks, an example which others had better
follow.
To show the fraternal affoction which ia para
mount here, we have a Primitive aud Missionary
Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Uuiversalian,
Episcopalian and Roman Catholic church all iu
one. Any miuister of the above denominations
is at liberty to preach, when all go and seem
very well satisfied with the discourse. We also
have a Masonic Lodge here, the members of
whioh meet once a mouth. I am no Mason;
but, judging from the rapid increase of the fra
ternity in the last two years, I conclude there
must be some good in that institution.
Our little town is blessed with a nice and
gentlemanly physician iu the person of Dr.
Androw Beasley, of whom it need only bo said
ihat, for competency, good treatment andsouud
judgment, he is a "chip of the old block,” whioh
is recommendation enough. Some would fain
have us believe that Dmotors are more of a curse
than a blessing; but I have never yet seen, not
even one of those who talk thus, a person who
was sick, and thought himself anything like
dangerous, but what wanted one and was always
very anxious about it, too. Some physicians are
curses, and humbugs too, when thoy are of tho
Foster brand. Though there has been consid
erable sickness here this year, this is generally
considered u very healthy locality. Only two
deaths—and one of those was an infant—have
occurred here in about-tliree years.
One thing wo lack hero, aud must have, is a
good bridge. Tho one that is hero is an old
dilapidated structure whioh will soon go up,
if a freshet don’t come along and carry it down.
We understand that wo are to have One soon,
\f the money can be spared! I’ll wager a ginger-
cake against a bottle of sugar that if it was a
negro school house to be built the money would
be forthcoming and the house put up forthwith.
I will here state that, as yet, we have no hotel
for the accommodative! of travelers and visitors,
but we expect to have one by the time tho iron
horse comes teari$i$ soreaking and puffing
through our little town on the road to be built
from West Point to Thomaston, or Bawesville.
Then, too, some lazy fellow, having nothing else
to do but stroll around,’ttay,'i*emdventure, dur
ing one of his perambulations, stumble upon a
Chalybeate Spring, somewhere in the suburbs,
whioh bus never yet been discovered. Then we
will send fogs Mr. Ketier to come and build a
with a cupola ou top, as he is an
ice. Up then will go the hotel,
■0, aud invalids with their
untold number of servants;
up* as It wero, spontaneously,
icrease and. Indeed, what g thriv
ing town we will havo. Reckoning in the inferi
ority of the size of the place aud population,
our town, even now, surpasses La Grange in
trade and business. Farmers receivo the same
prices hero, for any produce which thoy may
bring in to sell, as they ore paid in La Grange.
The market hero for nil productions is generally
governed by that in La Grango.
For virtue and simplicity, industrious and
talented young men, beautiful and charming
lasses, noble sires and exemplary dames, tho
society of Troup Factory, and vicinity, is unsur
passed and beyond emulation.
Lust, but not least by any means, comes Mr.
Perry with the part which he acts nnd the posi
tion whioh ho fills in our midst. We might as
well try to writs tho graphic biography of Gen.
Grant without montioning his talented jockey-
ism and the tenacity with which he swung to
Cows’ tails in times of yore—to propel a steam
boat without stcatn -or ships without sails, as
to attempt a description of happiness here and
not mention Mr. Perry’s name. This person
age is an indispensable link of the cliaiu of
progress in order of construction here. Ho is
tho Justice of Peaco for this district. Perched
upon tho throne of his magistry, with oodos of
different kinds strewn promiscuously around—
with his specs satisfactorily adjusted upon that
olfactory protuberance for their roccption, thus
wo find him, occasionally, disposing of his
cases of litigation and contentions with an eye
single to justice and in a manner which the
evidenco demands. Thus seated, it may bo
said, with safety and without prevarication, that
ho knows no man but law aud justice; so fur
also is ho to anything which savors of the allure
ments of partiality. Mr. ?Porry carries on a
woodshop, blacksmith shop and saw mill. Ho
stands always ready to welcome and accommo
date his customers in the way of wood or iron
work and sawing. Tho sharp ring of tho anvil
—tho grating sound of tho saw—tho melodious
hum of machinery, is the principal din of music
boro every day. Now who is there to say that
Progress is not on tho move, with an upward
tondoucy, at Troup Factory.
" FACTORY BOY.”
Troup Fhctory, Oa., Oct. 26, 1869.
‘•Let un IIullil up Savannah.**
The editor of the AuiPri»m» Courier, as we
learu from his editorial columns, visited Savan
nah a few days since, and was favorably impres
sed with our seaport. Iu the course oi his re
marks ho says:
" We saw parties from nearly all quarters of
this and neighboring States, aud were gratified
to learu that so mur.y merchants arc testing tho
merits of Savannah as a purchasing market.—
The extensive arrangements for wholesale bus
iness in that city inspire the hope that, with di
rect trade with Europe, and proper encourage
ment from home, Georgia will soon oiler to the
South such a market as will do away with the
necessity for Southern merchants going North to
buy anything. Let us build up Savannah—build
up Brunswick—build up direct trade from them
to Europe, and Now York will cease to regulate
tho prices of Southern products, and the pro
ducts oi other countries consumed iu the South.
" Let us build up Savannah -build up Bruns
wick,” says our friend of the Courier. A seuHi-
ble aud patriotic invocation, for which he gives
good coinmou senso reasons. But we suggest,
for the same reasons would it not be wise lor
our people to concentrate their energies, enter
prise aud capital, and build up one seaport
first. One great commercial centre would* af
ford all the advantages which he seeks, anti
would suffice for Georgia, for a few years, at
least. Wo want to build up a commercial empo
rium, where business, cnteipriH* andcipital will
concentrate, and thus furnish the means for es
tablishing and sustaining direct trade with Eu
rope, and tho commercial independence which
the editor desires.
We cannot havo too many of these commer
cial emporium. Tho great* State of New York
has but one city of New York, Massachusetts but
one Boston, Pennsylvania but one Philadelphia
—which serves also for Now Jersey and Dela
ware—and Maryland but oue Baltimore. If
Georgia is ever to have a great South-Atlantic
commercial emporium, controlling and regulat
ing the commerce of our section, her people
must concentrate their enterprise and capital in
one port, instead of building railroad stutious at
the mouth of every river, and upon every estuary
with sufficient water to float a const steamer to
New York, thus making our own State and those
who seek an outlet for their commerce through
our ports tributary to that city.
We will have enough to do to build up one
great commercial emporium. With our growing
wealth and natural advantages we can do it if
we will be united in our efforts to that end.
We must coueentmto. Savannah has striven
long aud hard and is still striving towards the
end proposed. What she has done is so much
in advance of her competitors. She offers facil-
tics unequaled by any South Atlantic port, and
while she asks aud expects the co-operation and
aid of tho people of the State, she certainly has
some claims ou the ground of priority.—Savan

The Minerals of Hnbinhsm Const/*
CijABKehvillk, October 21, 1869.
CVone! Christy:—Your purpose to call atten*
tiou to the mineral wealth of North-East Geor
gia, is a laudable one. In compliance with your
request, I now send you a meagre account of the
minerals of Habersham county.
OOLD.
Of the metals, we have gold in many locali
ties. The Mathews mine, six miles Northeast
of Clarkesville, is Raid to be very rich. The
Shelton mine, nine miles North of Clarkesville,
has yielded thousands of dollars worth. A
short range of mountains runs east nnd west
across the county, six miles north of Clarkes
ville, from Cool Springs to Soquee river; north
of this range, every branch, creek and hollow
has more or 1 ss gold iu tho drift gravel, and
thin fact indien'es that veins of gold exist iu the
hills, that a proper search would discover.
Of silver, tin and ziue, wo have none that I
am aware of.
IRON AND CorrER.
Iron is abundant in many placer.. Five miles
south-west of this place, n furnace and forgo
were onco successfully operated by Joseph
Htronp, and afterwards by the Habersham Iron
Works and Manufacturing Company. The en
terprise was abandoned for other reufiouB than a
failure in the supply or quality of tho ore. The
ore was obtained four or five miles south of
town, from several localities. There are several
localities iu tho county, where the surveyor's
needle loses its polarity- doubtless from the
presence of lurge masses of iron in the imme
diate vicinity. No copper bus been discovered
in the county; but theory would indicate Ihat if
the iron boils were laid open to a grout depth,
copper would be found.
LIME.
There is, traversing this county from north
east to south-west, a vein of limestone. This
vein is from 10 to 100 feet wide. The limestone
is of good quality, and in quantity sufficient to
supply lor ngus, the surrounding country with
lime, for all the uses to which it is applied.
SANDSTONE.
Lying ou tho south-east side of the limestone
is a large out-crop of elastic sandstorm, or fire
stone, invaluable for lining furnaces, smith
shops, fire-placos, Ac., on account of its infusi-
bilit v. Common sandstone of a flue character
for building purposes, is to be found iu many
places.
GRANITE,
Of tbe different varieties, is to be found all over
the country—some solt enough to be easily
wrought for building. Iu the north-west corner
of the county, a gruuite, in which quartz pre
dominates largely, is found, hard enough for
millstones. Most of tho millstones iu the upper
part of the county have beeu cut out from the
vicinity of Tray mountatu. That, however, is
not the only locality where millstone grit may
be found.
SOAPSTONE,
Or stealite, is found in itnrac se masses in that
portion of tho county north of the range of
mountains before mentioned. About Batebville
it is very abundant and of several varieties—
somo quite hard und of a ligfct blue shade—
some quite soft and of a cream color; but all
soft enough to be sawed iuto slabs and dressed
with tho plain. This stone is fire-proof, but it
should be thoroughly dried before heat is ap
plied, or tho water contained in it will cause it
to burst.
In tho mountain, near and just west of the
Tallulah Falls, thero is a rod, solt stone, resem
bling a sandstone. 1 do uot know if it is a
sandstone, or is allied to porphyry. It is softer
than the grey sandstones of tho county, but
harder than soapstone. My attention lias but
recently been called to it, and 1 have not exam
ined it carefully. Associated with it. is black
lead or plumbago, in small quantities ou tho
surface.
Those I have mentioned aro perhaps the moat
valuable of our minerals ami meals. Besides
these, there are io bo found iu the county, brick,
clay, potter’s clay, and all the minerals that
usually accompany a primitive formation. The
rocks show, by their colors, the presence of
mangoes*, titanium and other metals. Crys-
tulizod quartz is abundant, also rock crystal,
amethyst, schorl or tourmaline, all tho varieties
of jasper, gurnets, Ac., Ac. Asbestos, of fine
quality, is found near Batesvllle, iu connection
with soapstone. I propose, at a future time, to
give you some account of tho surface of the
country, auu its water-power, timber, Ac.

FYiends und Neighbors: Having just opened a li
censed shop for the sale of liquors in this place,
I embrace this opportunity of informing you
that on Saturday next I will commence the bus
iness of making drunkards, paupers nnd I tog-
gars, for the industrious and respectable of the
community to support.
I shall deal in familiar spirits, which will in
vite men to riot, robbery and bloodshed, and by
so doing diminish the comforts, increase the ex
pense and endanger tho welfare of the commu
nity.
I will for a small sum undertake, upon short
notice, aud with tho greatest expedition, to pre
pare victims for tho poor-house, asylum, prisous
and the gallows.
I will furnish an article suited to the taste,
which will increase the number of fatal accidents,
multiplying distressing, diseases, aud rendering
those comparatively harmless incurable.
I will deal in drugs whioh will deprive some of
life, many of reason, most of property and all
of peace; which will cause fathers to become
fieuds, wives to become widows, and children
to become orphans, and all to become great
sufferors.
I )Sfill cause tho risiug generation to grow up
in ignprance and prove a nuisance to the nation.
I will causo mothers to forget their helpless chil

I will endeavor to corrupt tho miuister of the
gospel, defile the puritv of the churches, and
causespiritual, temporal and eternal death.
If any should be so impertinent as to ask why
I have tho audacity to bring such accumulated
misery upon a comparatively happy people, my
honest reply is; "Greenbacks."
I live in a land of liberty. I have purchased
the right to demolish tho character, destroy
the health, shorten the lives and ruin souls of
all those who choso to honor me with their

Important from Spain.—The New York Her
ald, of the 22 d instant, says that "cable telegrams
from Madrid to-day conveys nows of impor
tance. Tho cause of republicanism at home ap
pears hopoless, and consequently three thousand
troops or the line aro at sea this moment for
Guba, and an additional forco is ordord to embark
next mouth for the island. Some of tho repub
lican leaders huvo boon already executed, and
all the others taken iu arms aro under sentence
of death. In this situation Marshal Prim’s
opportunity presents, and the General has used
it adroitly. In tho Cortes yesterday he openly
declared that he is a monarchist ana opposed to
the establishment of a republic in Spam" This
is plain speaking. General Prim has pro
claimed his platform. Would ho now take office
as "monarch?” Perhaps so. Hois immensely
rioh, and could do "all the honors" of a crown.
The Washington telegrams tell us that Grout
supports Aloom in the Mississippi election. If
the reports of his past life are true, Grant has a
chrome woaknoss for Corn in aft its sknpes.—Cbn-

Outrage by Federal Soldiers in Warren-
ton.—From Warren ton wo get information of a
most brutal outrage perpetrated iu that village
ou Monday night oy Federal soldiers, a portion
of tho garrison which has been stationed in
Warren county tor a long time.
It appears that at a late hour on Monday
night u party of United States soldiers—fifteen
or sixteen in number —visited the house where
Mr. Kd. Cody resided, forced an entrance iuto
it and took Mr. Cody away with them by lorco.
Their intention was evidently to murder him,
but they were disappointed in their designs;
for while they were carrying him to the woods
the prisoner managed to freo himself ami sought
safety in flight. As he ran the soldiers fired a
volley alter him, two of the shots from which
ook effect on his person. Despite this, how-
over, ho continued to run and succeeded in mak
ing his escape. The wounds are not very seri
ous. The affair has beeu reported by the Slier-
ill’ of the county to Col. Hull, the commandant
of tho garrison, who has promised to ferret out'
the authors of tho outrage. — Chronicle ct Sentinel,

city to collect and prepare for submission to the
Legislature all tho acts of fraud which may havo
come to their knowledge.

T HE consolidation of the two most popular Companies
ia full of advantages to the policy holders ol both Com
panies. ItH expenditures will be leas, aud with leaa rela
tive risk. The future dividends will be more certain, and
probably greater in amount, and a better reserve fund
created.
No BIGHT of tho old policy holdors will bo affected;
they will continue to pay the same rate as before; to hold
the sume policies as before; to huvo the some rights, bene
fits and privilr-ges as before, nnd have equal present secu
rity with greater future benefit tliun before. All reuewule
of the old policies will bo in name of new Company, tinder
Hpeciul authority from the respective Directors of the old
Companies.
A NEW CHARTER was obtained with the rights of poli
cy holders guaranteed, nnd we call special attention to the
following desirable feature in said charter:
" Sec. '2. The businosa of the Company shall be tomako
insurance on the lives of individuals In all the branches of
Life Insurance; to grant, purchaso or dispose of annuities
or rc-iusure ricks.”
“ Sec. 4. The business of th** Company 8ITALL be con
ducted on the plan ol DISX1UUTU1NG TO THE POLICY
HOLDERS THE PROFITS of tin business, an hereinafter
provided, unless by the consent of the abjured the policy
selected is uon-partieipating."
" Sec. Iff. This Company may issue polictae on the live*
of husbands aud parents, or others, ior the benefit of wives
aud families, or other beneficiaries interested iu their lives
—as ancestors, descendants, creditors or dupoudehta. and
the some shall not be liable for tho debt* or contracts of the
assured, except as provided iu the policies issued.”
' Skc. 16. Tho Company may iasue policies payable IN
GOLD: Provided, premiums ore paid in tho same.”
8kc. IS. The permanent investment of funds shall be in
mortgages or liens ou UNENCUMBERED REAL ESTATE
WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT LOANED.”
Wo would also call attention to the rights tseured in poli
cy as part of the contract.
Rights of party to non-forfeiture in ail its policies.
Rights of party to rcmstaU-meut—paid np policy, and
surrender value where ” intervention of armlos” or auy
other cause cuts the Insured off from homo office. This
feature, omitted iu policies of Northern C ompanies, coat
the Southern people very heavii\>iu the late war, and
should make them seek tho only Company that provides
Againut such contingency in future. Sume Companies now
have in their pot ides, that parties who “take up arms
against" certain named Statea. "orthe Unitad Statee/*
render their policy null nnd void. This is imkiug certain
what was before nncertaln, and ia too groat a mingling
politics, war and life insurance.
"PIEDMONT AND ALDINGTON” has a mol el charter
and model policy, ploiuly, stating rights of parlia, and
guarding those rights against sacrifice.
This Corapauy has fully complied with the requirements of
the State law, with regard to deposits with Comptroller
General, kc.
It gives dividends at the end of first year, when all cash
is laud, and of socond year, when part lean is token, lire
cash plun is unreservedly recommended os in «vory way
most satisfactory.
Wo now confidently appeal to every one interosted ip
Southern prosperity to look to their own interests, by sus
taining their own institutions, and thereby establishing
that self-confidence without which then: can be no per
manent prosperity Bear in mind that already over f 10,-
000,000 are annually sent Aorta for Life Insurance, taking
so much from our strength, and thereby giving additional
power to our oppressors.
We offer a solid, reliable Life Insurance Company,
thoroughly Southern, in the hands of men of the highest
integrity, wilh abuudant aaseta, recent risks, the most se
cure of all investments, pledged to retain within the State
of Georgia all funds accruing therein, and, indeed, pre
senting every advantage that can bo desired; and we only
