Whv amxnt the four? oh. ttiuruk sern -ueh arts: bin rvhlv dr-vk Thy son! with virtue*." —Greek fi*i. Outward beauty is the sensuous image of a spiritual and divine Reality—the visible, j though imperfect, expression <f the invisible and absolute IVrfeetiot. The niir.d that i generously endowed by Nature, and relined by culture and the couteroplation of the most perfect ideals. is never insensible of the pre sence and the power of Beauty. The ina- 1 bility to perceive this -upreme excellence ini plica a radical dei.it in human nature, that is wholly inco|atiWe with the highest intellectual, moral, and spiritual attainments. j The love of beauty adorns the earth with in- | numerable rreaiioM to delight the sense* and the soul It plants the myrtle and the rose in the wilderness; it makes the barren moors and desert solitudes blossom ; it culti- 1 rates Oriental gardens, and rears splendid temples and palaces; it inspired the great masters of Grecian Art, and they left their carved memorials and pictured thoughts in the world's Pantheon to awaken the esthe tic sense in the barbaric mind, to refine the taste of every succeeding age, mud to redeem the common life of the world from its gross ness and sensuality. The truly spiritual mind—gifted with an acute perception of beauty—surveys the immortal images on the canvas and the shadows cast in marble, and j finds in them a revelation of the hidden, spiritual, and Divine excellence. From the invisible Perfection the great artist derives 1 his inspiration, aud to that unseen Reality hi* aspirations constantly ascend. Nor is the attempt to realize his prayer in the em bodiment of his Ideal ever in vain. He is a common benefactor who invests the world with new attractions. We are made hap pier. and of necessity letter, by every objec tive form that I* adapted to awaken agreea ble emotions, since— “ A thing of beauty is * joy forever.” Every grand and beautiful object in the realui6 ot Nature and Art—every fair and glorious creation of earth and sea and sky— the human form and face divine, instinct , with life, pas-ion, and sentiment, or smiling i in marble and on the canvas—have all a sa cred ministry—to inspire a love of the Per fect and to fashion a Divine Ideal in the conscious soul. Thus all beautiful things exert a redeeming influence on Man. They refine the passions of our common nature, while they lift us above the deformities of this present world. AH Nature is the reve lation of Spiritual Presence in material form*, and the dearest elucidation of the Divicie perfections. There are enchanting melodies eloquent sermons, sublime phdo*ophi<*s, great poems, and a Gospel of redeeming 1 power—all embodied in the forms of the out ward world. These are all the expressive symbol- of the everlasting Life and Thought, tv e cun never study them in vain; nor can it lie irreverent tA imitate than, as far a-we arc able, for thus we approach the radiant foot print- of the Divine Artist, wle> “made eve rything beautiful in his time."’ The influence of the Fir.e Arts on our civ ilization. and the relation- of all the forms of Beauty to the intellectual development and moral elevation of the people, have sel dom lieeo widely estimated. It is quite cer tain that we are indebted—in no small de gree—to ancient Greece lor an acquaintance with the sources of Beauty, and for some of the means of modern growth and refinement. Tho?e magic lies— “ Where l*u ning Sappho wept an) wmjr.” were consecrated to ail that was most beau tiful in Art. it was in that charmed region that letter- were invented : there the strings of the lyre first vibrated to harmonic num bers ; there Homer sang his immortal song; there lived Solon and Lycurgu*, and the fa thers of theatrical tragedy. A popular au thor ha- denominated the Grecian architec ture an “ artistic revelation,” and the same may be said of its sculptured forms, which )ve never been excelled. While the phil osophers and lawgivers of ancient Greece doubtle-s continue to exert a wide influence in moulding the Theology and the .Legisla tion of all modern Christendom, it is certain , that the inspired masters in every depart- 1 inent of the Elegant Arts have for centuries contributed to foster a love of the Beautiful and human nature has been refined and ex alted. The noblest forms of Art have per haps done more to redeem the world from savagism than ail the religions ou the face of the earth, Christianity alone excepted.— i It would be a moral impossibility tor a man | to look at the Graces every day for One year and remain an awkward down ; nor would even a Barbarian think of offering human sacrifices to Venus or Apollo. In an enlightened and comprehensive sense, the Beautiful embraces much that is beyond the sphere of sensuous observation. It may bt? understood to represent all physi cal, moral and spiritual jiertection, and what ever else is fitted to inspire emotions of ad miration and delight in the rational mind. The ultimate source* of Beauty are inward, spiritual and divine. It is the light and ylo ry of ihe Lhrinity shining through the ma terial farms of the World. With such a de finition. oven personal beauty, of the sources of which 1 am now to treat—is by no mean* to he lightly esteemed. It certainly inspires pleasurable sensations in every beholder, and cannot, therefore, be a worthless treasure in the estimation of others. It unbars our doors to the stranger, andgivi* him him a jatssport to the confidence of his fellowmen. and hence cannot be nsele-s to its possessor. Wo all nat urally associate the peculiarities of form, fea ture and expre--ion. with certain mental and moral characteristics; andweselJotuornever find the man—in the essential character— unlike the image he presents to the world. A careful personal inspection fer half an hour may reverse the judgment founded on the most reliable testimony. It will be found that even tli.ise who profes* to disregard per- ! sonal appearances, generally form their own estimate of the individual's mind and char acter from what they observe in bis exterior; nor are the greatest and most discerning minds frequent exceptions to the rule. The great dramatic Poet has -aid, respecting a beautiful human form. -There * nothing ill run dwell in such * tenu4e.” And all admit that he was a profound interpre ter of humau nature. True, we may misin terpet the sign* of character; but we can scarcely overlook them. They are too con spicuous to be readily concealed, and, witbal too deep and lasting to be obliterated, even by ** Time's effacing fingers.” When the es sential elements of beauty are harmoniously blended in one who is thus divinely commis sioned to away a sceptre over the realm of the ftfibctioc-. the attributes of the celestial life ure tangibly revealed on earth. Mihon thus sing- of such a thing : “Grace in all her step*, heaven in her eye*. . In every ge-uire dignity and hive.” “ I The elements of jiersonal beauty are chief ly comprehended in symmetry of form and leal lire, in an agreeable association and blend ing of colors, in mingled softness, vivacity and force of expression, and in the grace aud •• jioetry of motion.” It i- worthy of obser vation. un i tho*<: who attaek the highest value to personal attraction.-, often make the moat fatal mi-takes ia their attempts to se cure the coveted boon. In tbl-country, es pecially. thousand* vainly attempt to make up for their natural defects of form by the most ludicrou.- efforts to conceal them, rath er than commence and pursue such a course of physical exercise and discipline a* mu-t in evitably give elasticity and vigor to the dif ferent member-, and rotundity to the whole body. Instead of directing the latent ener gies-ot Nature to the full accomplishment of her appropriate work, too many employ- the costumer to mult* tip the form agreeably to the last decree- of imperial Fashion. Thev trouble themselves to re-train and fetter their own natural power-, and then make great sac rifices to parch up their Imperfection*. Such persons—wbiie they live and when thev die —are but poor efiigie* ot human nature, which the -age and the savage alike um*t re gard with pity or derision. The same miserable infatuation i* exhibit ed in the attcuifit# to produce and preserve the particular combinations of color neces sary to the jierfectiaii of jiersonal beauty.— Fair ladies pass their days in listless inactiv ity, in darkened parlor-, without the ir.spi- i ration of the free air, and away from the purple glories aid the golden rays of the morning. Their nights are spent at the rout and in crowded banqueting hall*, until, from the loss of natural re|>ose at proper s<*a*ons, the intoxication of unnatural excitements, untimely and immoderate gratifications of the appetites, the nervous system is un-trung j th digestion impaired, the skin becomes sal- i low. and the roses on the cheek wither in the j night air. or fade in the glare of the g** lights. When the'weak votary of pleasure I has thus sacrificed her personal charms, -} v iffnly attempts to supfdy the lost treasure i by the use of powder, rouge, and a species of ! enamel that closes the pore* und suspend* thefunctions oftheskin. Thesame superficial arte ore employed alike in the palace chain- 1 ber and the bordello. For a proud lady, ; who value* her beauty, thus to destroy all ; the freshness of spring, and extinguish the ruddy glow of the morning which once *honi- in her countenance, is lamentable j enough: but when she transform* her deli- | cate frame into a portrait painter'teasel, and i makes of her fair cheek a mere pallet for a I verv poor amateur, he presents for our contemplation one of the most ridiculous il- ! of human weakness and folly. ( j- L. w ith uhat vcrmil tint* the apple blooms! Say. doth the rose the painter’- hand require!’ i The f.ve harmonious exercise of all the , human faculties and affections is indi*|ien*a- j ble to a complete and symmetrical develop men of the body. Moreover, it has ken i rendered evident, by other jiortions of this treatise, that mental and moral harmony | are productive of physical health. Thus the mind—when rightly exercised by producing a normal condition and action of the whole sy*- j tent, may illuminate ibe deep azure of the eve, , and cause the rose and the lily to bloom to getheron ibechecknud the brow. Kxpn-seion, which is hut the action of passion, thought i and sentiment on the muscles of the face—of course depends on the states and exerciaes of the mind : and—to use the expressive words of another— ** grace doth take theretroni its own existence.” Thus, it will be perceived, the sources of |>er*onal b?autv are all within, and tbe outward form, features, expression 1 aml the action, must generally constitute a reliable index to the mind, the heart, aud the j life. Tbe power of the mind over the body, and the influence of sensation and thought in forming the features, and determining their | I expression, is worthy of careful observation. ! So complete and indelliblv does the mind | stamp it* image oil the form, that in I every lineament of the fair we may trace , | the revelation of some moral attribute or mental p-esion. The spirit of kindness wreathes the countenance with smiles. Ha tred can never conceal its ugly visage behind a wall of fle-h, but bangs it out for the world's inspection aud instruction. While the man—-hut up in his earthly dwelling— vainly imagines that his real character is unknown, and will remain concealed until his mortal habitation is destroyed, he is un consciously tracing his secret history on the outer wall- of his house, where it may lie read by all men. The eyes, especially, are j the windows of the mortal tenement, through which we ja-rceive the disposition of the oecujiant, and character of the guests he is wont to entertain. The predominant idea ruling pas-ion, and governing sentment of the individual are usually made manifest, even to the careless ol**erver. Some n.rre vibrate* at the gentlest touch of a thought, or tremble- ber.<-ath the tread of lairy footed iunbeams, as they come up from all the form* of the outward world to track the mystic halls of vision. “Some chord in unison with • )i*t we hear, i I- touched w itiun us, and the soul replies!” And thus all tbe senses present avenues through which nature —by her outward forms and physical phenomena—appeals to the conscious soul. From day to day the spirit leaves a vi-ible and impressive trans cript of it* history in the yielding clay.— Thoughts have an influence over the nerves of motiou. and our secret emotions are in carnated in our muscles. Thu* the con tractu!, -elfish, and bigoted man presents you with a diagram of his lean, dejected soul in the acute angles ot his visage. The poor miser who only lives to grasp, yet more firmly, w hat he has, and (if possible,) tcAaf < hr has not, will be quite likely to form his ! face after the fashion of a steel trap; while in the curved lines that arch the expanded brow, and in the frank, generou- and joyful expression, we recognize tbe genuine certi cate ol nature, bearing the seal of divinity. Many faces pre-ent to the critical reader ’ of character, a terrible record of the exercise of perverted faculties; of golden hour* and opportunities squandered in indolence and di--ipation ; of the indulgence of secret and w a-tmg vices: of bright hopes blasted in the morning of life, nnd eloquent promises of future usefulness, already forgotten and nev er to be redeemed. Ob, who would become the author of such a history! Who would thu- illustrate his life and time* by frequent exhibition* of depraved and ungovernable passion, and th<- deep furrows which lust and crime leave on tbe darkened visage! Alas ! < how many w ith bright skies above them, be gin life with clean hands, pure hearts, and good resolutions, and yet seemingly live but to eheri-h the unwelcome thought that the world is false and life is vain ! And yet the world—in an inqiortant sense—is precisely what we are pleased to have it. Only those who make grave mistakes in life (jod the I green earth desolate and the moral heavens darkened at midday. When the brand of i conscious wrong is not on the brow, we walk erect and look the world in the face ; when the fair cheek is unsullied by a blush of shame, Hope hangs 1-er bow of promise over against every storm of lile; and when our own moral atmosphere is unclouded, we -*• clearly that tbe world is a living revela tion of beauty, basking forever in tlie light of the Divine love, and inspired with con scious and perpetual joy. It is especially in expression that the mind exhihit- the most direct, manifest and mas terly power over the nervous and muscular systems ; ar.d here also it doubtless contrib utes most essentially Pi jiersonal beauty.— No face can be said to lie really beautiful tlfat is devoid of expression, while the fea tures are often redeemed from their obvious irregularities by combined delicacy and force of expression. A face in which every thought reveals its image—wherein the sentiments and passions appear as if endowed with per sonality and reflect*d in a mirror—liecomes a living aud moving picture, which is mys teriously cha: ged ly every wave of feeling, a* well by the soft, gentle, and compassion ate emotions of the loving heart, as bv the stern aggressive and terrific passions of the enraged avenger. Those who would realize how much may be revealed by the silent lan guage of the | -a—ions, as exhibited in ex pression—even on the canvass—may study the Cyclop- of Timanthes, the works of Lud'- ovieo Caraeei, and the Cartoons of Raphael. For a vivid conception of the bold and strik ing contrasts presented in the living revela tion- of the tender and the terrible passions of human nature, we msy contemplate the humble penitent who seeks forgiveness at the cross : the Samaritan who bends in com passion over the fallen stranger: the con queror in the hour of his victory; and the maniac, whose brow has been scathed by the fierce lightnings of disordered passion, and whose eyes— ” like meteor* in eclipse. * ‘nolle their hollow emptiness. Mn. with respect to his body, is the chem ical and organic embodiment of all the sub -tanees he has assimilated, or made a part of hitn-elf. By a law that governs every de partment of our human nature, and the whole organized world, we become like the elements we feed u|on. To render the inind I vigorous and the character illustrious, it is j necessary not only to become familiar with great thoughts and noble resolutions—by i roi-ans of the ordinary commerce cf idea*— ; but we must assimilate them. If they be come a part of ourselves, by a gradual pro cess of passional, intellectual, and moral, spiritual assimilation, they never fail to sash iou the character : at thesame time they leave indellible impressions on the outward form and in the actual life. There is much of organic deformity and functional inharmo ny in the world : we are imperfect in our selves, and surrounded, at least, by tempo rary evils ou every hand ; but these may not overcome a greaf und resolute soul More over. the world is radiant and glorious with elements of Divine light and beauty, and it remains for us—by tins power and process of assimilation— to make them our own. Those who would be truly lieautiful in Mature, expression and motiou, must bejaire in feeling and elevated in thought. They m-ist assimilate all generous and noble sen timents. and all living and beautiful ideas. Thu* the mind becomes a splendid temple, at whose pure shrine** tbe Graces minister, and wherein theimages of all beautiful forms have an abiding place. By the dynamics ot the mind ami muscles those images will re appear in the face. The interior illnniina- j tion is visible through the diaphanous veil of fl**h. und the countenance is transfigured in the light of the spirit. How strangely de formed, repulsive, and soulle-sdo the patch ed nud painted harlequins of fashionable so- I c ' e, - v *l*pear when viewed in contrast with a character that ia truly great, and a face whereon ineffable sweetness, unsullied honor and sovereign majesty are enthroned togeth- When the depressing aß d destructive pas sions are permuted to have unlitnibd stay, they are fatal to personal beauty, as they sire to health or vital to harmony.’ As the li! lowy flames sweep over thebroid prairie, consuming the tender herbage, and leaving the wide expanse a blackened waste so do the more fearful and destructive flame* ol intense and disorderly passion sear and dar keu the human vi-age, consuming tbe fresh blossoms of Spring, aud leaving no trace ol 1 the beauty of youth or the glory of life'; j summer time. Whoever thus yields to this j foul dominion of the baser appetites, will ere long be scathed bj* internal and un- I quencliat.de fires, until every flower of beau- ! ty withers where it grew, and the human ‘ face is made to resemble those cheerless I desert* which the burning sirocco has blasted and made desolate forever. Such ]>erson* present—for the benefit of tbe weak and the wayward —a fearful teaming. But those who are guided by Reason, and rule the world In love, contribute to redeem mankind by a practical exemplification of the truth j aud the power of a noble example. They go forth to meet the human world as Sum mer comes to the waiting earth— “ Sowing rich beauty over den* and tomb*. Aud barren moors, and dismal solitudes.” The humau form and face, when shattered and blasted by the violence of perverted an- j | petite- and destructive passions, may be compared to some feudal castle on which fierce battled storms have spent their fury ; j over whoec rttiued turret the raven flaps his ; i sable pinions, and in V/hose deserted balls the owl and<he bat, and even slimy reptiles,! find a congenial dwelling place. The guests | of such it man are lean and hungry demons ; lascivious satyrs; many nameless monsters, and the embodied representatives of every , vitiated sense and depraved imagination.— But the man w ho combines the element* of i true greatness and essential goodness, is at once jiowerful in his gentleness, and gentle ‘in the exhibitions of his power. His soul is the fit temple of the Virtues, and a living i j symbol of the Divine presence. In him great thought* are vital realities that take form j in glorious deed*. The tranacendant light , of such a character can never be extinguish- | ed nor concealed, for the elements of com- i mon earth, out of which our bodies are fash ioned, are not impervious to its rays. Such a mania, indeed, an epitome of the universe. | I The sun himself rise* and shines in his soul and over the full orlied world that resolves within the orbit gfbis mind. Time, that destroys proud empires und wastes tbe py- | ram ids, makes his oul more perfeet, day by : day, and its outward revelations ever more ( expressive and beautiful. Aud as the Years i let lal) their golden sands upon his head, the spirit absorbs and concentrates tiieir light, | tliat by reflection it may illuminate the world. Even in his old age, the man who answers this description is never associated in the mind with mournful and deserted i ’ ruins. We rather look upon him as a vene rable temple of the Paraclete, unspoiled by profane bunds, and within whose conse- I j crated courts no ruthless iconoclast lias de faced the sacred images. Over those walls the ivy twines its tendrils in loving embrace; beneath that illuminated dome the invisible i soul of the Harmonic* yet lingers ; and with in tbe open jmrtttls the white robed Spirit stands gazing, with unclouded vision, at the Sun—which seems “largest at the setting.” My-terious Case in Scotland. The following case liana psychol ogical, as well as a moral and juris prudential interest: About thirty years ago, a ‘pedlar,* or ‘traveling merchant’ of the name of Murdoch.well known in the north ern part of theeminty of Sunderland, disappeared in a strange and myste rious manner. As he was well liked by the country people, and was also extremely regular in making his rounds, his absence soon produced inquiry and suspicion. Apprehen sions of his having become the victim of foul play were entertained by many of his customers. Others again surmised tliat he had left the country to avoid his creditors. But to this it was replied that being a prudent and industrious man, never known to he hard pressed for money, he had not the slightest occasion to have recourse to such a disreputable proceeding. Thisview was confirmed by many of the tradesmen from whom he was in the habit of pur chasing the goods in which lit* dealt. So that the suspicions of foul play went on increasing in strength, until at length, tite authorities instituted a search for the missing pedlar. But nothing cameos these investigations, and by and by t lie interest in his fate was becoming faint and the preva lent opinion *as, that nothing more would he learned concerning him to clear up the mystery of his disap pearance. Soon, however, a sudden change came over the feelings of the eouii ; try ]tenpl* with regard to this matter. The pack, and subsequently,the body ‘of the pedlar were discovered, through the following extraordin ary, and, were it not so well authen ticated, incredible circumstances: A poor man, a native of the place, declared that it had been revealed to him in a dream that the pack o the missing pedlar was hidden be nqpth a ‘cairn’or heap of stones, by the edge of a lonely ‘loch,’or High land lake, which he specified. This dream, lie said he dreamed on three consecutive nights. At first no one paid any attention to him. But at last, some parties wiser than xheir neighbors, thought there could be no harm in testing the accuracy or the reverse of the man's dream. The result showed that his nightly vision j had not deceived him The pedlar s pack was found in the precise place indicated by him. and in the adja oent ‘loch’ the body of the missing and (as no one now doubted) murder ed man. The first, and indeed, the natural impression, was, that the dreamer himself, waseitherthe mur derer or else an accomplice in the crime. The proverb “ those who hide, know where to find,” was ap plied to him. The authorities took the matter in hand. The dreamer ! was subjected to a series of trials and investigations, preliminary to his lieing committed tor final trial at the assizes at Inverness. But the law officers of the Crown became so satisfied of the man’s innocence that they declined to have him commit ted. This proceeding caused a good deal of astonishment and indigna tion in the minds of many people, 1 who had jumped to the conclusion of his guilt from the fact of his un accountable knowledge of the place in which the pack had been hidden. But the event proved the soundness of the opinion of the Crown officers. Another person, poor, but respecta j ble—was observed to have become | possessed of money and jewels, with ; out anything having occurred in his ‘circumstances to account for this sudden acquisition of property. This |erson was tried, ami though he strongly asserted his innocence.found guilty. For some time after the sen fence of death lad been passed upon him he persisted in maintaining his innocence; but finding that no chance of escape, or commutation of his sen tence could be expected, he made a clean breast of the matter. He con fessed himself, and himself alone, to be the murderer of the pedlar. The | dreamer, he assured the clergyman, I and, indeed, every one else who at tended on him, had nothing what ever to do with the crime. The af fair as may be supposed, created a good deal of excitement, not only amongst the public, but also in the minds of scientific men. The late Dr. Abercrombie, of Ed inburgh, a physician of the very highest character, suggest the fol lowing theory as the explanation of the dream We have not at this mo ment his work to quote from, but it occurs in his treatise on “the Intel lectual Faculties,” and this we know is the substance of his hypothesis.— j It appears that the drear,er. as well as several others, had been in the i company of the murderer shortly j after the perpetration of the crime. They were drinking, and had, in fact got drunk together. Dr. Abercrom bie, from this fact, surmises that the murderer in the madness or stupidi ty of his intoxication, allowed cer tain words to escape from him to the effect that the pack of the pedlar was hidden in the place in which afterwards it was found. These cer tain words at the time, owing to the insensibility of the parties present, passed unheeded. But the doctor hazards the conjecture that the mur derer’s words made at the time a dead impression on the sensorium of the dreamer,and that, in the course of hi* sleep, this dead impression, partly by his thoughts, like every body else’s in the place,being occupied with the subject of the pedlar’s dis appearance, was vivified or kindled into consciousness. Be this however as it may, the fact of the dream is undoubted, and serves, in company with myriads of others, to show that man is fearfully and wonderfully made, and that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in the philosophy of the pert ma terialists of the present age. For (lie Hotlier's Make. A young man, who had left hi* home in Maine, ruddy and vigorous, was seized with the yellow fever in New Orleans; and, though nursed with devoted care bv friendly strangers, be died. When the coffin was being closed, “Stop,” said an aged woman who was present: “let me kiss him for his mother!” Lot me kiss him for bis mother! Ere ye lay him with the dead. Far away from home, another Sure may kiss him in her stead. llow that mother's lip would kiss him Till her heart should nearly break ! llow in days to come she’ll miss him!

The Miaeral Resources of Georgia Letter from Hon. Iff. A. Cooper. To the Editor of the Xaiional American. Dear Sir, —The magnitude of the Mine ral resources of Northern Georgia, are but little known to, and less appreciated by, the people of our State. No estimate is put on them even by the people of Cherokee, within whose limits they are found in such rich abundance. Iron, Gold, Copper, Plumba go, chiefly with traces of Lead, Silver, Co balt and Tin, and Marble and Slate in great quantity. For the development of these but little is done, except in Gold, Iron, Marble nnd Slate. Products of these are being furnished daily. The most important of these is Iron, because most useful. We : propose to consider the resources of this met al in Northern Georgia, its products as man ufactured, and the interest that Georgia, as u commonwealth, has in it. With n<> little opportunity to oliserve, we ! have ventured the assertion, that the re i sources of Northern nnd Western Georgia, in Iron Ore, are superior to any portion of the Union. That they i.re far better than any of tbe Middle or Eastern States, is be yond doubt. That they excel those of the Western States, not excepting Missouri, with her lar-fann and Iron Mountain, is main tained by competent Geologists, who have examined both. This Iron district lies North-East and South-West, coming down from North and South Carolina, in Rabun and Habersham counties, through this part of Georgia, to Alabama, in Chattooga, Floyd, Pauling and Polk countit**. It passes through the inter mediate counties, comprising a belt of fifty to seventy-five miles—the best supply and most convi nient locality for it being in Cass I county. This county alone, it is believed, has concentrated in its limits, as much Iron Ore as all Pennsylvania together, nnd is of superior quality. Here are found the chief j operations in Iron of the State of Georgia. This Iron and Gold region of Georgia, (they lie contiguous,) is traversed by the Etowah River, from its source to its junction with the Oustenala at Rome. That part of it which lies in Cass county, lias been partially explored by Geologists who are familiar with all the remarkable lo calities in the Union. To enable the people of Cass county and of Cherokee, as well as the statesmen of Georgia, to estimate the worth of this section, wo cannot do better than to give tbe published opinion of such men, taken from a hook of highest authori ty, recently published. “Tbe Iron Mat ter's Guide,” speaking of the Ore of Cass ’ county, says, “Os the wonderful profusion of these Ores, and of their richness, I can, unhesita tingly, speak in the highest terms; and the best varieties and largest quantities X saw were among these, within two or three miles of the Etowah River, where it is crossed by the Railroad. I have visited almost all the great Iron Ore depositee of the United i States: 1 have explored the beds of the Iron Mountain of Missouri, but have never been so impressed by any exhibition of Ore as by the M ine ot’ the Etowah District. They pass along within from one to live miles of the great Limestone formation of Cass county, so that this essential material for dux, in the inal.ing of Iron, will everywhere be con veniently supplied. They are near a rich Agricultural district, where provisions can be afforded at the cheapest rat***; and yet they extend into the heart of the Allatoona chain of hills, where the air, in the heat of summer, is most salubrious, and the climate like that of the table lnrals of Mexico, pretty healthy. Where the? Etowah River has bro ken through these hills, the high ledges of rock still resi-t its progress, and a succession , of fulls over them furnish abundant water power Er the most extensive works. “A large portion of this region is covered with a heavy growth of good, hard wood timber —the original unbroken forest. The lx*st of charcoal was ottered at the Furnace, in 1842,, for HI cents per bushel.” Such is the recoidcd opinion of compe tent men who have examined our county. Wood is still abundant, und charcoal at 4 cents per bushel. Stone Coat and Coke can be had in full supply at three-and-half dol lars per ton. The Iron Ore here, as devel oped to date, is more wonderful. It reduces remarkably easy, requirii g only 150 to 160 bushels of charcoal to a ton of pig metal. It makes Bar Iron, in quality, like that of Salisbury and Peru, yielding sixty per cent, of Iron lrom tbo ore. It makes a superior quality of Steel. For this purpose, a ton ot Etowah pig metal has been fully tested in England, and files and cutlery of the b<*t quality were made and sent to us as samples, with a report in lull from the English man ufactory, classing our Iron and the Steel made lrom it amongst the first. We will next consider the progress in manufactures of Iron in the Etowah Dis trict. MARK A. COOPER. The Harper’s Perry Plot. New Revelations. Maps of the Insurgents.

The following districts in South Carolina (the farthest Atlantic State North of which any map has been found) are thus specially designa ted : Marlborough, marked with a cross; Darlington, the same; Sumter, a cross within a circle ; Georgetown with a cross and a single dash point ing southward ; Charleston, near Monk’s Corner, a cross and semi-cir cle ; Colleton, between Scull creek and the Edisto, a cross within a cir cle ; Saint Luke, near Grahamville, a cross within a double circle ; Orangeburg, on the Middlepen Branch, near Orangeburg, a cross within a circle ; Barnwell, between Buck aipl Turkey creeks, on the line of the South Carolina Railroad, a cross; Edgefield near Horn’s Creek, in the neighborhood of Williston, a cross; Abbeville, near Long Cane Creek, a cross. IN GEORGIA. In Georgia, the following counties are marked, Camden, near Burt Fort, with a cross ; and near Waynesville, in Wayne county with a cro-s also; Glynn, near Bethel, a cross ; Mcln tosh, near Jones Creek, a cross : Liberty, near Taylor's Crock, a cross within a circle ; Bryan, near Fort Argyle, a cross ; Chatham, near Whitesville, a cross ; Seriven, near Black Creek, a cross ; Burk, near Beaver Dam, a cross within a circle; Columbia, near White Oak, a cross; Lincoln, on the Savannah river, a cross ; Warren, near Mayfield, a cross ; Taliaferro, near Crawfords ville, a civss ; Greene, near Parks’ Bridge, a cross : Hancock near Spar ta, a cross, Putnam, near Kingston, a cross ; Jones, near Hillsboro’, a cross ; Monroe, near Forsyth, a cross; Upson, a cross; ('rawford, near Hammocks, a cross; Talbot, near Davidson, a cross ; Harris, near Mulberry Grove, a cross; Troup, near Shiloh, a cross. IN ALABAMA. The following counties in Alabama are marked : Russell, near Lexington, a cross ; Macon, near Fort Bainbride, a cross ; Montgomery, near Mt. Meigs, u cross; Lowndes, near Mt. Willing, a cross; Augusta, near Kingston, a cross ; Dallas, near Selma, a cross ; Wilcox, near Allen, a cross; Monroe, near Bell’s Landing, a cross; Marengo, near Laurel ltill, a cross; Sumter, near Danesboro’, across; Washing ton, near Barryto\vn,a cross. IX MISSISSIPPI. In this State the following coun ties are designated : Noxubee, near Mashulaville, with a cross • Warr. r, near Warrenton, a cross; Jefferson, near Church Hill, a cross ; Franklin, near Halcomb, a cross; Adams, near Kingston, a cross; Wilkinson, near Cold Spring, a cross ; Washington, near Clear Creek, a cross ; Bolivar, near Tilla toba, a cross. In Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky, there were no coun ties marked. The designated counties in the States of South Carolina, (leorgia, Alabama and Mississippi, from a con tinuous chain of districts, or route of travel from Georgetown ; and from Beaufort, South Carolina, along the Savannah river, to the Chatta hoochee river, on the western bor der of Georgia ; from thence passing through convenient points on the Alabama and Tombigny rivers to the borders of Mississippi; from whence it continues with little interruption to the Bed river. The maps which are about 18 by 12 inches, are care fully and neatly pasted on stout cambric cloth. Upon the margin of each map is pasted the census re turns of 1800, of its State ; giving in detail the relative strength of the i white and slave population of each | county, and the proportion of fe ; males to the whole number of inhab j itants. By referring to the counties I marked, it will be perceived that i in them the slave population vastly I preponderates, and might, therefore, j have been deemed a safer field of ! operation for the abolition invaders. Harper's Ferry Development*. The additional fuels we publish to-day concerning the Harper’s Ferry Insurrection would seem to show beyond dispute,— first, That a Republican ex-member of Congress, recently representing one of the strongest Seward districts in this State, was an adviser, if not a confederate of Brown, I the Insurgent leader. If Brown was a “madman’’ surely the Republican journals 1 will not allege that the cool, calculating, i proverbially clear-headed GcrritSmith would ! put money into his hands, accompanied by I such endearing epithets as these: Fstkkboro, June 4, 18511. Capt. John Brown—My dear friend ; * * * * Loss es by endorsement the last two years, but I must nevertheless continue to do in cmler to keep you at our Kansas work. I send you herewith my draft for S2OO. Let me hear from you on the receipt of this letter. You live in our hearts, and our prayer to God is, that you may have strength to continue iu your Kansas work. My wife joint* me in affectionate regard to you, dear John, whom we both hold in very high regard. I suppose you put the Whitman note into Mr. Kearney's hands. It will be a great shame if Whitman does not pay it. What a noble man is Mr. Kearney. How liberal ly he has contributed to keep you in your Kansas work? Y'our friend, Ukrrit Smith. Be it remembered, that the man who writes this letter is not only a Republican ex-member of Congress, in good standing— but was likewise a candidate for Governor of the State of New York, a year ago,—one receiving for that high office a good many thousand votes. Second. That the rifles and revolvers that were intended for the slaves came from the North, —that is to say, from Connecticut.— (See the Collinsville letter found in the car pet bag, signed “Charles Blair.” Third. That the financial arrangements, in point of fact, were made in New York city. (See the Blair draft for $200.) Fourth. That there i* strong reason to tielieve the free negroes of Canada were to some extent privy to the plot, and expected to co-operate. (See the Delaney letter from Chatham, Canada, dated Aug. 13.) Fifth. That the insurgents were all North, ern men, who went to Virginia on purpose to be near the Armory, in order to steal the Government arms and treasure, to promote the insurrection. Thus : “ Edward Coppice, one of the wounded, is from lowa, Andrew Stevens ia from Nor wich, Conn., where his parent reside.— Young Brown, one of the killed, has, a wife in Essex county. It is said that Anderson is from Troy.” Sixth. That the complicity of numerous persons in the Northern and Western States in the conpiracy is clearly made out. (See Brown's conversation with Senator Mason and others.) Also, that one of the insur gents was one of the Oberlin (Ohio) Fugi tive Slaves Rescuers.— N. I'. Express. Wko Paid (he Fxpenaeg. The Chief of the Harper’s Ferry Insurrec tion, Brown, we believe, is not understood to be a man of much wealth. He probably had means enough to support himself com fortably in life, but he certainly had not the wealth necessary to put an army of fifteen hundred men on a war footing. We say “ fifteen hundred,” because that is bis own statement. Among his inventory, we see, are, — Two Hundred Sharpe’s Rifles. Two Hundred Revolvers. One Thousand Spears. And Plenty of Ammunition. A good rifle costs about $25. (We think that was about the quotation at the New Haven Church meeting.) Two hundred of them would make a bill of $5,000. Two hundred revolvers, at the New York aver age price—say sls each—would make $3,- (MM) more. The “spear” is anew instrument of death, we believe, in this country ; but as a “ spear,” to be worth anything, ought to cost $5, one thousand of them adds an other $5,000 to the hill. Total, (without the ammunition) $13,000. Until it can be proved that Brown had that much money, in cash, —the inference remains that there must be some outride contributors some where. Now, the question is, who are those contributors ? Time and enquiry will tell. If V. Express. GEORGiACffim. L. F. W. ANDREWS. Editor. MACON, GA., OCTOBER 28, 1859 Macon Cotton Market.

Grand Master, Wm. S. Rock wall, Presiding. A large number of dele gates were in attendance. The election of Grand Officers for the ensuing year took place yesterday, but we were not able to procure the list in time for to-day’s publica tion. The Holmes Monument. The laying of what is technically called the die of this Monument, took place cn Wednesday, at Rose Hill Cemetery, in pre sence of the Grand lodge of Masons, the Military and a vast concourse ofcitiz ns. The procession was a very imposing one and every thing was consummated happily, according to programme of the occasion, published by us on Wednesday. Addresses were delivered by Capt. Hardeman, and Col. Henry R. Jackson, which were spoken of by those who were fortunate enough to to get near enough to hear them, as being chaste, eloquent and patriotic. Among the most interesting features of the day, was the appearance in procession of a small squad of the survivors of the Macon Volun teers who served in the Florida war, and of the Macon Guards who served in the Mex ican war. These veterans were the “ob served of all the observers.” We shall give further particulars of the proceedings of Wednesday, in our Saturday's issue. Shall wc have m Daily ? This is the question of the day; hut we are unable yet to answer the interrogatory. After several days’ canvassing, by circulars and by personal solicitations, we have to re port only about I<M> names of merchants and citizens, all told, who leel interest enough to say they will take the Daily Citizen. Some of the heaviest business men of the place decline making the small investment, assigning various reasons for their refusal. Others promise to take it after it is estab lished, and they are sure they will not lose anything by advance payment! Again.it said by very knowing gentlemen, that there have been several attempts to establish a Daily in Macon, und they have all failed ; | and, therefore, they do not believe one can be sustained, &c., &c. Now, we desire to sav a word in reference to this last reason. It is a fact that the Dai ly Citizen was published from Aprils. 1857, to Ot. S, 1857, regularly and promptly; ! but it was then suspended, for the most weighty of all considerations—the pressure of the times of that fall, which caused mer chants and business men, generally, to re trench their expenditures, and to cut off , every thing that required money. It was, therefore, as much the fault of the merchants as of the publisher, that the Daily Citizen was not then continued. They could not, : or would not, support it, when the business season commenced, after we had published, at a heavy loss, through the spring and sum mer—and we had not the means to keep it up longer. But this failure ought not to prejudice the enterprize of a Daily paper in 1859, inasmuch as the times have changed for the better, and our business men and : people, generally, are now prosjierous in their callings. Neither should it prejudice : our own individual effort at reviving the Daily, as no one ever lost u cent bv paying us in advance for that publication. Never theless we do not complain of the indisposi tion of the people of Macon to aid in the es tablishment of a Daily Press, at this time. If they are satisfied for our c’ty to contin ue to be a “ suburb ” of Savannah, and to contribute thousands, annually, to the sup port of Savannah and Augusta Dailies, it is 1 their business, not ours. We may possibly remove to the sea-board, afier a while, when we determine to issue a Daily, that will se cure the support of all the Macon dealers, as that seems to be a necessary condition of success in such enterprises. But, not bring able to remove, now, we must do the next best thing—continue the Semi-Weekly and Weekly Citizen—till we get a louder call than we have yet had to start the Daily in Macon. In the mean while, we are thankful for the good will of the one hundred gentlemen who have given their names as patrons to the contemplated paper; and in justice to them, and by way of showing our apprecia tion of their public spirit, we think of pub lishing the list, with business and profession annexed, as a Directory to the community at large, at home and abroad, where can be found the men who have some pride in con tributing to the welfare and reputation of our city.

Address -Wood, Eddv & Cos. Augusta, Ga. A correspondent of the London Times describes a ‘ monster revival meeting” at Armagh, near Belfast, Ireland, which was attended by 10,000 persons. Obituary. Departed this life, at the residence of Governor Johnson, iu Jefferson county, Mrs. Ueraldine E. Johnson, wife of E. K. Johnson, Es<p, iu the 27th year of her age. It is so common to praise the dea that obituary tributes, unless they lie eulogies ti mi the distin guished. rarely arrest the attention of the living. The man of renown is interred with pompous dis play and striking emblems of public grief; whilst those unknown to fame, however lovely their vir tues and their lives, pass away, with no memorial but the tears of tiereaved affection. This reflection is suggested by the death of the subject of this notice. It is not meet that one so worthy should go hence, without a suitable tribute to her memory. Words of praise cannot reach her ear or awaken an emotion in her heart : for the one is deaf and the other stili in the cold sleepof thegrave. But who will deny the uttection. the utterance of its grief? Who will refuse to living survivers ihe sad pleasure of speaking ol her virtues? Tlie great public will feel tint little interest in this paragraph; but there are mauy hearts, whose sorrow it will soothe, though it may not relieve. For her friends are numerous, and they loved her leeause she was lovely, in all the atttrihutes of true womanhood. 1 She was raished in this city, and here she was most beloved, lie cause here she was best known. In her character were united sincerity, truthful ness. amiability and gentleness ; and she exhibited these traits in every situation and relation which she sustained. Asa friend, she was disinterested and kind; as a sister, she was loving and confiding; as* wife, she was devoted and dutiful. She was a Chris tian ; and all this cluster of virtues was illumined and hallowed by the mild lustre of religion. She was a member of the Episcopal Church. Her piety was not ostentatious !>ut constant and consistent regulating the affections and the conduct of her life. She was emphatically good. We may not follow her gentle spirit beyond the grave. But if a blameless i life, made up of meekness, humility, sincerity, devo tion to duty and obedience to God, affords any guar ! anty of future bliss, then her companionship is with angels, and Heaven is her eternal home. May surviving friends and kindred, by imitating her virtues, secure a reunion with herin that blissful sphere, where her freed spirit luxuriates in the un alloyed felicities of immortality. * * * SPECIAL NOTICES.
