Monroe Wilkie, and others from this
county, who have been imprisoned in At
lanta jail for some months past, for alleged
violation of the revenue laws, were released
on Saturday.
Mr. Joe B. Barton has been suffering,
for a week past, from the severe wound he
received in the army. We are glad to learn
that his condition is improving, though he
h still confined to his bed.
The “mountain schooners!’ are making
their way to market in large numbers, load

We hope their captains will come back
smiling.
Allowinh a dead hog to remain for sev
eral days in a public street, is not a good
evidence of energy on the part of our town
officials. We hope the Council will hright
emttp and bustle around before the locomo
tiv"<b arrives with its train of strangers
seeking new homes.
Mr. W. A. Futrell has left with us
some fine specimens of pure gold which he
recently found on the Abercrombie place,
near the Sixes mine. Everybody in the
country seems to be walking with his eyes
downward, now-a-days, and we would not
tie surprised to learn, at any time, of re
markable discoveries in very unexpected
places hereaway.
Swkiial parties from Harbin’s district,
charged with violating the internal revenue
laws with reference to distilling, were
brought to town Saturday evening by Mr.
Steve Pullum. As Jailor Fuller would not
receive them without being guaranteed
payment therefor, he having fed and lodged
other Federal prisoners without recom
pense, the entire party were released on
their own recognizances, to appear at Car
tersville last Monday.
Christmas is only three weeks off; yet
we bear of no preparations for the festive
. iiiffiss it be on account of a wedding
rtetwo. TWfc Children, nt least, should be
handsomely provided for, because Christ
inas, in their eyes, is the jollicst, happiest
day in the year. Let some one begin to
Collect the seed, and we cun soon have
» big “tree” sprouted, budded, and fruited,
awaiting the juvenile harvesters on Christ
mas eve.
The frame of Mr. Barton’s new resi
dence is up, and the carpenters are busy
weatherhonrding it; a neat fence is also
bring built around the lot. Dr. Turk is
building an addition to his dwelling, and
otherwise improving his premises. Messrs.
McAfee and Hudson intend to erect anoth
er cottage on Gainesville street, and Mr.
Payne will probably build one on some
eligible site. Building is retarded some
what by the difficulty of getting lumber.
From the report of our efficient County
School superintendent we learn that the
number of white males attending school m
this Aunty, the past term, was 1,304 ; white
females, 993; colored males, 89; colored
females, 83 ; total, 2,408 ; average attend

1,913; in reading, 1,137; in writing, 871;
in English grammar. 219; in geography,
145; in arithmetic, 697. It is gratifying to
learn, and highly complimentary to our
County superintendent, that the teachers
will l>c paid the full face value of their cer
tificates for this year’s services. One half
of the amount due will be paid on the Blh
Instant; and the other half, when the poli
tax is collected.
A i.vc-kum was organized in this place in
1H33, through the influence of Mr. Josiuh

WHAT A CORREBPONDKNT RAW AT WALKS
CA—GEOLOGICAL FEATURES—A FULL
DESCRIPTION OF DIAL’S GOLD AND
MINERAL DISCOVERIES.
Correspondence of The Georgian.
Since writing you last, I have been out
on a little walk. Id d not go very far,—
only forty-five miles—but saw several
things. I saw Walesca, and at Waksca I
met Colonel Sharp, and Mr. Smith, and old
Brother Reinhardt, who lived there amongst
the Cherokee Indians; and I saw Colonel
Sharp’s store, where good goods may be
had “cheap for cash,” and I saw everything
else at Walesca, including the Colonel’s
cotton-screw and gin. those high mountains,
etc. They have minerals all up through
that country, but I don’t know how many
or how much, as I did not stay long enough
to count them. I conceived quite a liking
for the Colonel and his interesting family
But, Messrs. Editors, I have also visited
Mr. Cy. Dial, who lives away down in the
southeast corner of Cherokee, and whose
recent gold discoveries have become so no
torious. Mr. Dial is a real clever gentle
man ; he entertained me handsomely, and
I intend to tell you about his good luck.
Mr. Dial’s residence is on the old South
Carolina and Alabama wagon-road, twelve
miles southeast of Canton, and about twelve
miles east from Marietta. Within a mile,
perhaps, of his place, and south of it,
Brush or Sweat mountain is located. His
occupation for years has been that of a
farmer. His mother, an excellent old lady,
is still alive, is upwards of seventy years
old, and came originally from South Caro
lina. They live in plain but substantial
comfort.
Passing, as I did, on foot along the
Trickum road, which makes off to the left
of the Canton and Marietta road as you
leave Canton, I reached the vicinity of the
Mill creek crossing, eight and a half miles
from Canton. At this point, a little north
of the crossing, my attention was arrested
by a conspicuous geological feature which
may interest some of your numerous read
ers. This was a prominent outcrop of that
very ancient primitive gneiss rock, which
is not uncommon in the Silurian seams ot
this region, and is by some considered a
feeder to veins of gold, copper, magnetic
iron, manganese, and various precious
siones. I traced this stratum, which proved
unusually conspicuous, almost to Trickum ;
but my route carried me again to the left,
just before reaching Trickum, and through
the camp-ground, at which point there is a
prominent outcrop of the same vein.
Thence, going nearly east. I had only to
walk about a mile to reach Mr. Dial’s
hou.se, but in that interval we lost sivht ot
the rock, except in detached pieces, and
discovered a change both in the earthy and
rocky features of the country. At Mr. Di
al’s, the surface earth is a fertile mulatto
clay, with peculiar ocherous subsoil, which
is intersected with micaceous, quartzose
veins, bearing gold. The veins, the ocher
and the clay between, each bear gold o!
good quality. I noticed on the route be
yond Mill creek, as special fcfitures, a par
ticularly high degree of crystallization, as
signified by quanz scattered along the way
—the highest 1 Lave observed in this part
ot Georgia; also that the gneissose stratum
itself is occasionally interlaminuted with
white quartz, v?bii h I think is uncommon,
ami that the bed rock is extra-tenacious,
compact, and lustrous. I have never met
finer specimens of this grand, somber, un
changing old composite.
A short review of Mr. Dial’s d’scoveries
may prove interesting, and correct variou
flying reports. Home five or six years ago
Mrs. Dial, in picking up a rock in the back
yard to elevate a movable chicken coop,
discovered particles of gold adhering to it
The piece was of course laid away and
preserved, although but little was thought
of it, and no effort was made to discover
the vein. Two or more years thereafter,
one of Mr. Dial’s little boys while at plaj
near the same spot, one Sunday morning,
found what he called a “gold rock,” and
ran to his father with the complaint tilth
another one of the children had taken it
from him. Mr. Dial had the piece pro
duced, and, upon examination, found that
it really was a gold rock. The little fellow
said it had been broken, and thcreCvas an
other piece of it. That was found, also,
and with gold upon it. Still no effort was
made to find the vein, although the neigh
bors began to talk about it.
Later, and again one Sunday morning,
Mr. Dial himself, while walking in his gar
den near the original point of discovery, in
the act of looking at a bed of yam potatoes
recently bedded up for growing slips, pick
ed up another gold rock. After this, his
little boys, with Mr. Dial and his wife at
times to aid them, would often look for
other gold rocks about the garden and yard,
and from time to time tiny would find
them until there was quite a talk about Mr.
Dial and his gold rocks. All this time no <
effort was made to search for the hidden ■
treasures, which, when discovered, proved
to be only eighteen or twenty inches from
I the surface oi his yard and garden.
j 1 jist August, a forlorn-look iug man c»me {
| to Mr. Dial's house, claiming to he an old
experienced miner, and plead for pcnnis-j
‘ sion to find Mr. Dial's supposed gold mine, i
: Mr. D. objected, saying that times were
I hard and money scarce; that be himself 1
knew nothing at all about mines, and did |
not know that he had any. The old mtn
was importunate, saying he was about out \
of money and out of work, and at last pro
posed, if Mr. D. would !>oard him, be would {
work. To this Mi. D. al last const nied, :
i and the old man worked about for several
weeks, but finding neither gold rocks nor j
a gold mine, he at last grew disheartened!
land went away. Then, after the crops!
| were “laid by," an! be could apaAe theq
lime Mr. Dial began to dig jud under the I
spots where the “gold rocks” had been
• picked up. Wasting or panning the earth ’
careftilly as he worked, he at length struck
the rich formation which now promises so’
large a fortune. |
The discovery is certainly remarkable,,
both in its prosecution and promised re
sults. From a single panful of earth and
gravel be has realized as much as thirteen
dollars ivorth of gold. How much might
be realized from systematic and continuous
labor, has not yet been ascertained. Avery
good sluice-box or trough has been con- i
ftructeil, and the water from a branch near
by is under control for effectual washing,
but no stamp mill or other elaborate prep
aration has yet been made. These require
money and time.
But the above is only a part of Mr. Di
al’s very recent discoveries. In a piece of
whitish feldspathic quartz, brilliant parti
ch sot some metal were exhibited to me,
which t»ecm to be silver, although they have
not been tested. Again, he has found a
very black earthy material, brightly be
spangled with mica. It is in large deposit,
and near the surface, overlying a richly
colored yellow clay, neither of which I am
able to classify. There are indications of
remote fusion at their location. Near this
we picked up a very pretty specimen of
magneiic iron ore.
Years ago my old friend Dr. Stephenson
expressed the opinion that the rare and
beautiful ruby would some daj 7 be discov
ered iu upiiev Georgia, and f to-day hazard
the opinfim thfft ; Mr. Cy. Dial has fotrnd
minute rubies in his rare and most remark
able quartz deposit, which lies near a
branch within two hundred yards of his
residence !
It is but natural that the neighl-ars living
about Mr. Dial’s place, and upon the same
formation, are considerably stirred up on
the mineral question. Quite a ritimber
have been prospecting, and several have
discovered deposits of the precious metal.
I predict farther valuab’e results from sim
ilar investigations. Mr. Dial has carefully
preserved the various specimens of gold
bearing rocks found upon his place. It is
my belief that in that same southeast cor
ner of Cherokee eountj’ the indications
point to the most valuable gold and min
eral deposits contained iq this county.

Editors Georgian : Our fellow towns
man, that amiable gentleman and scholarly
County School superintendent, the accom
plished Clerk of the Superior court, accom
modating Cieik of the City council, and
worthy Secretary of the Good Templars,
James Warren Hudson, Esq., has purchased
the elegant stdilcs located tffion the lot of
Colonel John G. Evans, our efficient County
treasurer, and expects to move them upon
his beautiful lot in front of the Baptist
church, where he will have them put up in
sp’cndid style. He will then always be
giad to have his mnny friends and relatives
oa’l on him and bring their horses, as he
will be prepared to take care of both man
and horse. Mr. Hudson is passionately
fond of company, and will feel slighted
unless his friends call upon him at all times.
They need hot wait for an invitation, but
just come along an 1 bring their stock, and
make themselves at home.

OVER THE COUNTY.
Corn boiled with a few ashes will fatten
hogs much faster than when given in a raw
state.
Those who make a free use of tobacco,
whiskey and c.off e. contribute largely to
wards paying the* Yankees for subjugating
ns.
Every will regnlnted family should have
a wood-shed, where plenty of fuel should
be kept in a dry condition for any emer
gency.
Many of our farms would produce as well
ns when the land was new, if they would
plow deep. Sub-soiling, especially, would
greatly Increase their productive powers.
Our friend J. R. McKinney, says his dogs
nre first rate to catch 'possums and sheep.
He has a race aftcr*oncnr the other every
night or two. Where is Captain Durham?
A young lady, down the river, threw a
pom- of bread at a dog, the other night, and
struck a young man in the mouth. He
says he don’t want her if that is the way
she expects to feed him.
A young friend of onn, nt a eorn-hnsking
a few nights ago, saw a bottle of camphor
on the mantle-piece, and. thinking it was
brandy, took a good swallow before he dis
covered his mistake. He ought to join the
Good Templars.
A fine crop of tobacco has been raised
the present year in the upper portion of the
county. That is the right crop for that sec
tion. It is ton high and cold for cotton.
Wheat does well there, and during a recent .
visit we noticed that a good deal had been ■
' sown.
Some of our friends abroad think we live :
at Cantoh, bitt it Is a mistake. We live
seven miles away, on a farm, and go to !
Canton once or twice a week. Ourdepen^r'
ence for a support for our “numerous wife ‘
and children," is in digging and scratching
; the earth.
Even* young man in the conntv should
: procure a good lamp and sjiend the long
winter evenings, before bed-time, in reading j
good books and newspapers. The poor
young man who spends his leisure hours in ,
this way, bids la.n rto do well in the world |
than he with dissipated habits who inherits |
( a fortune.
There once ftved iB this county nn eccen
tric old man who owned a fine, gray mare,
i which he prijwal very highly. The boys
. went to the old man's 10l one Christinas eve
and blacked his tine marc &stil she “looked
i like a gray horse of another color.” Early j
on the following (’hristmss morning our old I
' friend was up, and going to the lot to feed,
■ be discovered the strange animal and called ‘
to his boys to help him to turn out the sup- j
posed intruder. They run her round and ;
round the lot several times, and gave some '
hard licks before they discovered that it
will not always do to judge byappcaranc s.
The old custom of having ardent spirits
at corn-shucking*, has been revived in
some portions of the county. “Wo to him '
that putteth the bottle to his neighbor’s '
. mouth and maketli him drunk.”
Let every farmer in the county resolve
that he will plant but half as much cotton
next year as he planted this, that he will
not buy a pound of guano, but will manure
well every acre intended to be planted, with
home-made fertilizers. Then determine to
keep out of debt, so that he q»n sell bis crop
when the price will justify.
Cotton seed and pigs do not do well to
gather. If the pigs rat many of the seed
they are certain to die. Some of ours, not
withstanding our great precaution, have
recently indulged in cotton seed diet, with
‘he usual result. It is difficult to keep the
li’tic wretches away from the seed at this
time of year, when so many arc scattered
around. One or the other should be put up
in a pen to prevent disasters.’
It is said that English rosin, pulverized
and fed to chickens, will prevent and cure
the cholera. Try it It will do them no
harm, and it may work like a charm. Fried
chicken is a nice dish, and the man who can
discover anything that will preserve and
perpetuate that institution will deserve the
name of a benefactor, whether he receives
the appellation or not. We are in favor of
trying every remedy that costs nothing, and
that is easily administered. The right one,
we hope will be found at last.
Walesca Notes.
Mrs. I. N. Sullivan left at our store, the
other day, some beets that are hard to beat.
Our friend Dan Pitman has left with us
a very fine specimen ot leaf tobacco. Mr.
Dan Walker has also left a sample that is
hard to beat.
Walesca is fast assuming the magnitude
of a town. Her population is increasing
very fast—mostly young folks. One lately
made its appearance at Mr. Kelley’s; it is
two days old, and weighs fourteen pounds.
A man weighing about two hundred
pounds came in, the other evening, riding
an ox bareback. We are not certain wheth
er he had on spurs or not. After resting
awhile he attempted to remount his ox
slup for a ride towards home, but found it
a little difficult to get into the saddle. Aft
er tusriing around for some time, he suc
ceeded in getting astride of the animal,
amid the shouts of a number of spectators.
The year is fast drawing to a close, and
with it let us all be prepared to meet our
outstanding liabilities, and make prepara
tions to live in the future more independ
entlyrthan we ever have heretofore. To do
this we must be more careful of debt; must
buy less and make more. The idea of a
farming people buying all they use will
simply impoverish any people under the
sun. We are all too ready to buy, without
any prospect of paying, bin hoping for
something to turn up in the future —going
to make a big crop; “yea, we will make
cotton to pay every dollar wc owe.” This
cotton raising has well nigh ruined the
people of the South, and will ruin them if
they persist in growing cotton to the exclu
sion of making at home their own suppl.es.
It will place them, in a few more years, in
a condition from which they will never be
able tn extricate themselves. Then let us
pay out of debt, and stay out. Let us owe
no mau anything.

The North Georgia Road —lnforma
tion of a thoroughly reliable character has
come into our possession to the effect that
the plucky and invincible North Georgia
company will soon close a bargain for
enough iron to complete its line to Canton.
This will lie quickly followed by the neces
sary rolling stock ; and then look out for a
ernnd celebration in the capital ofChemkee
of the lone expected and much wished-for
advent of the iron horse.
The prospects for completing the whole
line to Murphy, where it will lx? met hy the
line projected southward from Knoxville,
are very encouraging at the present time
Its importance to either terminus and to all
the country between, makes its completion
a virtual necessity. Even the nature of the
times can not entirely prevent its progress,
although it has paralyzed nearly every other
. new railroad enterprise. With a connection
from Mnrphy via the mouth of ihe Nantee
halre river, Atlanta would have a line to
the valuable and popular coal fields of East
Tennessee from seventy-five to eighty miles
■ shorter than any existing route. Such a
1 road must lie built..
j The projected line through Rabun Gap !
’ would not in any event impair the business ,
of the North Georgia road. It would be \
’ another feeder for our new trunk coal road,!
; and its building is favored by the North >
, Georgia |>eople. All the roads that can be '
| pushed through the gaps of the Blue Ridge [
will pay sooner or later, because they will '
l>e needed to furnish the low country with
coal. But of all projected lines it seems to !
us that the North Georgia road has the best
prospects. It leads directly to Atlanta, and
is in process ot completion. Ils managers
‘ are building as well as talking and planning.
