The Cherokee Georgian. . .—1 g L-..; -l. - , - ... .. 4 fe. J l . TAYLOR, Local Editor. CailtOll, G-a. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1875. MAIL TIME-TABLE. The mail leaves Canton for Marietta on Monday and Friday of each week, at 8 a. m. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays and Sat urdays, at 4 p. m. Canton line to Dawsonville leaves every Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re tarns Thursday, 4 p. in. A corn-doctor has been relieving some of our citizens of their “achers.” Rkv. B. E Ledbetter started for Griffin Monday, to attend the North Georgia con ference, which convenes there to-morrow* An interesting description of the Dial mineral discoveries is published in this is sue. It is written by a gentleman well in formed with regard to the geology of this region. 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 ed with cotton and other products. Eight passed through Canton yesterday morning., 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 ance, 1,292. In orthography, there were 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 Holbrook, a literary gentleman of Boston, Massachusetts, who was then on a tour through the Cherokee country. Howell Cobb was the first president, and William tiruham the first secretary. Whit baa be come of that institution * If it has passed •nt of existence, did the spirit of improve-1 meul which brat animated it die also? We , arc living in a progressive age, free from I the red man's presence, and surrounded by ’ meat o! the conveniences and comforts that : advanced civilization provides; and yet, in em rgy and public spirit, we do not com pare very favorably with the ]MX»ple who gave tone to Canton forty-odd years ago. We are not now inquiring into lh« cause of this seeming decadence, but merely state a A t wliteli we wII pn wby «nd by.

Notes A foot. 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. Virgil. conimunicnted. 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. Bill Jenkins. 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. ! —[Constitution. I W. A. BRIGHTWELL. CARPENTER, CONTRACTOR AND, BUILDER, Residence, Canton, Ga. !
