To illustrate this point wo oall attteotion to the immense aoosssible and cheap water power to wbioh is added the advantages of otlmete, labor and easy aooees to the oottoo fields. To this too is subjoined the stimulus given to tho manufacturing element by th* liberal laws of Georgia, whioh exempt snob enterprises from tax ation.

All the ootton and woolen mills have been built with Southern eapital in th* last ten yearn, and every other Interest has been re-erected or remodeled.

He gave to sleep many momenta wbioh other men would have given to aonvarsa- tlon.i He was essentially a silent men; not morass, bat qaiet. He smiled often, rarely laughed. He never told s joke, but did not duooorago them in others, and if one struck bis peculiar fancy ho would ■mile in mild approval. Ho did not live apart from hia stall, but likad to bava them about him, and they ware nearly all vary young man. Univamally polite in manner, he enoonragad th* liveliest con versation among them, although be took little part tail. He was not amen of words; they seamed to embarrass him. When he bed ideas he pnt them into eotion, not into language. His military dispatches were as brief as if atodiad, like tbe one he sent after tbe defeat of Mllroy: “God' blessed on arms with viotory et MeDow- •11 yesterday.’’ He never dlccncccd bit plane; indeed, he never told them. The” next offioer under him never knew hi* intention nor object. He never volun teered his opinion to his superior, nor asked sdvioe of his subordinates. Ho was as self.reliant as ha was silent, end be lieved “be wtlka with epeed who walk* alone.” He was retioent to * fault. “If S oost knew what I intended to do, I’d e it off and throw it away," was one or hie saying*. Thia rstieenoe often led to embarrassment end complaint from the officer next in oommend, end might have led to disaster in ease of hie death; bat he evidently thought it better to ran that risk then the risk of having kis plana dis covered.
