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. National Express and Tbakspok tatioS Company. —An attachment was taken out ou yesterday, in the Clerk's office of tbe Circuit Court of Richmond, against property of this Company, for the amount of taxes due by it to the State. The amount of taxes due is $515.72, that being one per centum ot their gross r&rfjifts. Another suit was also commenced against them by the Commonwealth, for the penalty for feiture for not making their proper re turns.

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 patch. 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. GEORGIA HEMS. The new opera house la Atlanta is nearly completed. Sleighs were in demand on Sundry in Atlanta. The Savannah Jockey Club has been revived. * j They have a rope factory at Co lumbus. Dr. A. A. Lipscomb lectures to-night in Atlanta for the benefit of the poor. The Germans of Atlanta have a Turn Verein Society. The Supreme Court adjourned on Thursday last. A uumber of Now York merchants have made a hundsnme contribution, through S. Root, Esq., to tbe poor of Atlanta. 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. The New York World exposes the manner in which Senator Fessenden has quartered his relatives upon the Govern ment.

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.
