FRIDAY MORNING _...Jan. 4. 1867
Arkansas Takes the Proper Course.
By the followin'* paragraph, which we
find in the Louisville (Ky.) Courier of
December 31*1, it will he seen tlml
Arkansas has -ikon tho very course
which we have been advocating lor
Georgia. The Legislature of that State
has appointed Commissioners, or a com
mittee, composed of some of its own
members, to visit Washington City an i
confer with the President, Cabinet, and
Congress on the state of the country,
and the probability of a compromise on
Soot hern affairs. This is the proper
course, nnd the other Southern States
should follow the example of Arkansas.
It would have been better, however, it
all these States had united in this ac
tion; but as this seems impossible, let
each State act for itself. The following
s the Courier’s paragraph:
Arkansas Lkgisi.atokk eh route
for Washington.—We had the pleas
ure of meeting, last evening, at the
Louisville Hotel, Messrs. J, C. Fellows,
R. S. Gantt, W. W. Reynolds, and L.
Gauze, tho two first Senators, and the
last two Representatives in the Arkan
sas Legislature. They compose the
commtttee appointed at the last session
of the Legislature to proceed to Wttsh
iugtou to confer with the President aud
the Cabinet and the members of the
two Houses of Congress on the subject
of the political condition of the country
aud the probability of any compromise
being arrived at. They are all gentle
men of intelligence, and will be able to
furnish their people full, if not satisfac
tory, information in regard to the sub
jects referred to on their return. We
wish them a pleasant trip and a short
stay among the Jacobins. They loft b\
rail last night.
Mining in Upper Georgia. —There
is great activity in the mining interests
of Northern and Northeastern Georgia.
A writer in the Journal k Messenger
refers to a number of quartz veins
openel near Acworth, on tbe State
road. One is owned-by Dr. Hamilton,
another by Major Latimer, of Macon ;
besides these are the “Payne,” “Grant
ham,” “Baldwin,” and “Cox” mines, all
within four miles of Acworth. Jh
Cherokee county several mines have
been opened by O’Neil, Foster & Cos.,
and one by Brolly & Cowan, on which
nuggets, weighing two ounces, have
been found. Near this is the “Bell
Mine,” and several others of promise,
opened by Major Goldsmith. All these
are within seven miles of Acworth.
■The Athens Watchman refers to rich
discoveries in White and Lumpkin
counties. Dahlouega is crowded with
miners, and every-night presents very
much the appearance of a mining town
in California. The Yahoola mining
company are preparing, with gqfeat
energy, to wash down a mountain close
by,-which promises fine results.
At Loudsville the Lewis gold mine is
worked upon a large scale, under the
direction of Cnpt. R. R. Asbury, as
mining engineer, who has had long
experience there and in California, and
very expensive machinery for crushing
the quartz has been brought out by
New York and Boston companies Work
is going on at a number of other points.
One of the most extensive is at Nacoo
chee, in White caiinty, on lands of Mr.
Richardson and others, leased by the
“Nacoochee Hydraulic Company.” They
bare brought water eight miles, and
with heavy hose pipes are washing
down the high hill called Hanby moun
tain, at several points, with very en
couraging success. This is a Boston
com[>Hiiy, under Mr. Dean, who came
to White from tho mines of North
Carolina several years before the war,
and fonnd the largest nugget of pure
gold ever seen in the State, weighing
387 dwts., and auolher over half pound!
One miner put iuto his hands nearly
two pounds of gold which he had pro
cured at one washing 1 Is there any
thing in California or Australia much
richer than this ?
The host* pipes are tearing up the
whole face of nature am] milking gullies
one hundred feet deep in a few days.
Union and Rabun parties are finding
encouragement to invest capital iu new
localities, and miners are coming in
from North Carolina and elsewhere, and
ilfttfing > anew energy in the mining
interest.

f A Couple of W&Uton in tho Sow
ers of Hew York—" Pay Dtrt”
Struck * Heavily —Diamonds by
the Bushel.
Several years ago a little German Jew
named Schwartz, believing that in the
sewersrf New Yurie might be found many
article* of value which had been lost,
entered Them, amt tor three day* wan
dered through the labyrinth. He was
very up some $27,000
worth of jewelry, spoons, etc ; bnl hav
ing lost bis way the first day, lie believed
that he might have found much more
could die have carried oat tbe original
plan, which was to have visited Fifth
and Madison avenues, Broadway, aud
the wealthy portions of the city. So
great, however, were the difficulties nnd
dangers which lie encountered, that
nothing could induce him again to visit
“New York underground.” His adven
ture for a time created quite a little
seusatiou, but there were none ventur
ous enough to nttempt a second until
Wednesday of last week, when an ad
venturous party of three entered the
sewer of Houston street at the ferry on
Fast river, intending to remain for one
week, during which time they proposed
visiting every portion of the city where
there seemed to be any chance of find
ing treasure trove. The party consisted
of Miss Mary Walker, a young lady of
eighteen; her brother James, aged six
teen ; and Michael Grady, an old man
of about fifty. The project originated
with Miss Walker, and the “how” of it
is in this wise:
Some two years ago, James Walker,
Jr., was a merchant doing a good busi
ness at 99J Bowery. He was getting
rich fast, but in an evil hour he was
prevailed upon by friends (?) to use
some of his money which had been
“salted down” in speculating in gold.
The result was easy to be foreseen. Fie
lost. To recover, he took money from
his business. Again he lost. His busi
ness became embarrassed; in despair
he committed suicide, and Miss Walker
and her brother found themselves six
months ago the inhabitants of a room
on the upper floor of a double tenement,
No. 209 Sixth street. Miss Walker,
some months ago, ip an old paper,
wrapped round a parcel which she was
taking home from a “slop shop,” saw an
account of Schwartz’s undertaking, and
resolved to imitate it. Maps were ob
tained, and the city studied carefully.
Each dny’s work for herself, her brpther,
aud Grady, who was formerly«in her
father’s employ, was carefully marked
out.
Every preparation which limited
knowledge could prepare for was made,
and the adventurers started. I wish
that I might have room to tell the story
of the week they passed, but my manu
script warns me that I must condense.
Each day they rendezvoused several
times in the chambers at the street
corners. On Sunday they had filled all
the bags they had taken with them
some fifteen in number, and Miss Walker
returned. James Walker and Grady
continued their search, emptying six of
their bags at the corner of Twenty
second street and Fifth avenue. On
Wednesday morning at a very early
hour, and before people were stirring,
Miss Walker was at the place with a
wagon. On removing the iron plate,
which, at each street corner, leads into
a small chamber connecting with the
sewer, she found her brother, but not
Grady. He had started off on another
trip, although the six bags had been
filled in Madison avenue. The loose
treasure was placed in extra bags, and
the whole driven to a Broadway jewel
ler’s. The rest was taken from the
places on Thursday morning. A watch
was set for Grady, but up to this time of
writing nothing has been heard from
him, and it is feared that he has per
ished. The result of the week’s search
is roughly estimated at $1,500,000.
I saw the treasure yesterday, piled in
throe heaps on the floor, and the jeweller
informed-me that it must have cost over
$3,000,000, but in consequence of the
the old-fashioned style of setting, its
bruised, battered, and corroded condi
tion, its value was reduced about one
lmlf. A little over a bushel, (how queer
itsounds totalk ofjewelry by the bushel,)
has been sorted, and among it has been
found one diamond riug valued at
SIO,OOO, two more valued at $5,000, and
a half dozen valued at $3,000 and
upwards. The most curious is a plain
gold ring, inscribed on the inside in
Dutch, “ Peter Stuyvesant to wife.” It
is an heir-loom of the Stuyvesants, and
was stolen, with other jewelry, last
March, by burglars. How it came in
tho sewer is a problem tor philosophers
to speculate about. Miss Walker and
her brother, who find themselves thus
lifted suddenly trom poverty to great
wealth, intend to proceed to England,
where they have relatives. This adven
ture is talked of everywhere, and already
there are others preparing to follow in
their footsteps— N. Y. Cor. Erie Dis

Sknsimle Advice. —The Greensboro'
(Ala.) beacon gives the following very
sensible advice to the land owners of
that section. The advice is equally
applicable to this latitude, and we trust
it will not be totally lost on those to
whom it # is addressed. The beacon
sajrs ;/ . ,
“ Land owners, who wish to devolve
upon others the trouble, annoyance and
uncertainty of tilling the soil with the
labor of the freed men, should also be
moderate, in fixing their rents. The
prospects for the agriculturist, us well us
for the merchant, and we nmy add, all
other avoentious of business, are deci
dedly had throughout the iSoulh. Men
who, in the lace of such discouraging
indications, agree to pny high rents, are
very likely to find themselves, at the end
of 1807, unaldo to comply with their
promises. Moderate rents, and area
soimble certainty of prompt payments,
are greatly preferable to high figures and
uncertain payments.

R. M. Goodman, Esq., formerly a
resident of this city, aud uue of the best
writers of the day, is editor of the
Journal, anew weekly paper just started
at Marietta.
The Journal says Marietta is steadily
improving, its population increasing,
aud it bids fair to regain at least its
former wealth and prosperity.
The amount cleared at the Catholic
Fair just closed at Columbus is between
$3,500 and $4,000, the largest sum ever
raised by a similar enterprise in that
city.
A colored woman gave birth to a “fine
boy" at the shed of the Macon and
Western Road, in Macon, the other day.
The' conductors named the boy Ben
Butler, on account, we presume, of the
taking wags exhibited by the young
stranger.
The Journal & Messenger says that
up to January Ist, 1860, Forsyth county
shipped 7,348 bales of cotton, the
product of that year. This year the
shipments up to the Ist of Jantiury will
not vary ten bales trora 2,460 —which
shows a little less than a third of a crop.
Monroe, it is said, has done better than
the average cotton-growing counties of
the State.
Immigration. —lt is stated that three
hundred thonsand immigrants arrived
in the United States in 1866, being a
considerable increase over the year pre
vious. It is believed that the disaffection
incident to the changes in the govern
ment of the States of Central Europe,
and the Fenian troubles in Ireland, will
induce an increased flow of population
to onr shores during tbe next year. The
Prussian conscription is severe and
offensive, and every steamer from Ham
burg or Bremen, has, among her passen
gers, large numbers of tbe sturdy young
men of Germany, who are coming to
America to avoid going into the army-
Can nothing be done to induce a
portion of these immigrants to settle in
the genial and fertile States of the
South ? We fear onr people are culpa
bly indifferent to this golden opportunity
to secure accessions to our population.
The influences which meet these im
migrants on their arrival natu
rally incline them to the West.
That was, perhaps, while slavery existed
at the South, a more inviting field for
free labor. Their friends and country
men who have preceded them to Amer
ica have gone West and prospered. In
addition to these influences, misrepre
sentations of the South, of every char
acter, are pressed upon their attention
by the land and railroad agents of the
West, and they follow the old beaten
track to the far West —where the hard
ships of pioneer life and the rigors of a
cold climate await them. We believe
that if proper representations of the price
and character of Southern lands, the
advantages of our sun and soil, and
healthfulness of our climate, were made,
that thousands and tens of thousanes of'
these people could be added to our pop
ulation.
Our landholders should form societies
or clubs and send agents to the North or
to Europe to meet these people and pro
sent the advantages of our section in
their true light.
The Future or the Soutii. —We
utter but. a trite sentiment when we say
that the future of the South is in the
hands of its young men. How many of
them are qualifying themselves so man
age its factories, control its railroads,
mine, its ore, work its machine shqps,
and cultivate its plantations? Profes
sional men it has in abundance—able
lawyers, accomplished physicians, elo
quent speakers. These have their uses,
but the growth of a State depends less
on them than on the character of the
men who manage its industrial enter
prises. What is most needed in the
South to-day is, that the young blood
which fought for it so gallantly should
work it as determinedly.
On the plantation, in the shop, in the
factory, there the South is to effect its
true restoration. The young men wlo
dug trenches and fed on hominy and
pork, who went clad in home spun gray
and slept in cold, or rain, or shine,
under the canopy of the heavens to
further the fortunes, ns they believed, of
their native land, can now do noble
service by laying hold of its plow
handles, turning its lathes, guiding its
spindles, handling its locomotives. But
there is a want of capital. No matter ,
they have youth, health, hope, ambition;
and good abilities. They have every
incentive for which to work. Begin
with a will, and success will crown
their efforts. —National lntclliijcnccr.

LATE OF BBRtIN, PRUSSIA.
Important A etc Invention l
CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SPBOTAOLHB
j., ,
The Only Perfect in Existence 1
Superior to any other in uae—constructed
in acceordance with tbe science and philosophy
of nature in the peculiar form of a CONCAVO
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to
the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to
the eye, affording altogether tbe best artificial
help to the human vision ever invented.
Sold only by the Professor of Optica and
Spectacle Manufaclurcr.
THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles
aver all others, are—
-Ist. The only true Lens known, being per
fectly free from chromatic light, eo well known
to be tbe cause of injury to the vision, and
which makes the change from Spectacles to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required,
while both near and distant objects are seen
with equal facility through the same Glasses.
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at one sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision particularly by candle
or other artificial light—comfort to the Spec
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of a bright light, such as is reflected
from snow, SHnny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rays,
effect a most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4tb. In all nervous affections of the eyes
causing dull and startling pains in tbe eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
aud dark spots in the atmosphere, aebing
or feeling like sand in the eye, the disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got up
at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the manufacture of this Lens, to as
to produce it with the true spherical accuracy,
and its focus is at the exact centre, a point
of vital importance, and which no other Lens
possesses.
fith. Proof of Pnperiority over the old kind
of Spectacles. They are used cxelusively at
oil tho hospitals for diseases of tbe eye, in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen, Professors of the
highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
Augusta, Ga., December Bth, 18fl6.
I have examined tho Glasses of Dr. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. Ilis
testimonials are very numerous and exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of tho superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
upon tbe best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should bo
used, sinee the eyes once used to those do not
seem to grow old, and by having a focus at
any point of tile surface, they appear to re
store the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD’, M. D.
Augusta, Ga. Dec. 7, IS6B.
I have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the Professor, must say that his
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants ol almost every eye, where the
vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair of bis Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. I yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor’s
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
I very cordially recommend I’ruf. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DsSAUS&UKE FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of tho
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance.
Wo cordially recommend the Professor to alt
those who require scientific optica) assistance.
H. H. BIGNON, M. D.,
JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D.
W. H. DOUGHTY, .M. D.
WM. 11. CLARKE,
GREGORY DUGGAN.
Accusta, Ga., Dec. 8,1566.
I hare examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and bare tried them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
workmanship, and for their power to assist the
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics
the study pf his life, and is evidently ino6t
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years been a
resident or New York. The diseased and aged
will find great reliof from the use of his Glasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials te tbe ex
cellence of his Glasses, and to his skill as an
Optician, and I would recommend him toatl
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JOSEPH R. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Sataxxaii, Ga., Nov. 29,1566.
I hereby certify that Mrs. Davenrort has
been affected with Amorousis lor about two
months ; it became almost complete. On tho
2d of November last, according to my own
advice, she placed herself under the chargo of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Iler vision has rapidly
improved. She can now read small print
with or. without glasses.
J URIAH HARRIS, M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has abort
said. W. N. WARING, M. D.
Savssxah, Nov. 26, 1866.
I‘rojffor M. Bernhardt, Optician and Ocnlitl :
I cheerfully state to you that a further ac
quaintance, with von and your most excellent
Glasses, has confirmed my first impressions as
to your •kill and their superiority over tho
general run, and I recommend all whose
vision is in any way Impaired, as mine unfor
tunately is, to avail themselves of your science.
Respectfully, yours,
R. D. ARNOLD, M. D.
