Gentlemen : II is my de*ire on this

the object which brought its together.
It cannot I»c better stale. 1 than in my
circular, an extract from which I will
read yo'L ^ In that citcular I said:
“Our immediate motion abounds in
resources .whose value, developed hy i
the well-directed and onerge'ic nppli
cation of labor aud cajdial, it is impos
siblo to estimate
“Imbedded in our mountains, :\1.
most every where, are deposits of the
richest iron and other ores, whose de
velopment will give .profitaide employ
ment to llictisniids ot people and to
millions of capital.
“These resources of our State, skill
fully and energetically developed, will,
It a few years, cause the iron crop of
Georgia to exceed ill value her present
roll on crop An examination of them
is all that is needed to demons*rate the
proposition and convince the most
skeptical.”
