Canton is quiet on that subject. A nitro store would be a convenience in Canton, and, when once established, we think it would prove a paving investment. “Oun Adventure,” a communication sent to ns by a correspondent, is written well enough, hut its point is too broad for our columns.

Mr. Edis bought them for $63.60. Perhaps it don’t pay to raise porkers in this section for market; but look nt the foregoing figures and think about them. Much complaint is made by some ol our subscribers that they do not receive their papers regulaily. Our sulwcriplion list is •»refully made up each week, anti we are satisfied thnt the fault lies with the post masters at certain offices. If this irregu larity continues, we will lie compelled to apprize the Post-office department of the facts. The Gkohgtan is late in making its ap pearance this week, on account of not receiving paper fn-tn the mills in time. The man whom we first engaged to bring the p«f>*r from Marietta did not know the Importance of the matter, and. leaving it for another t* attend to, it wu consequent ly not done nt a l. Yesterday, salc-d <y, there were an un usually large number in town.

The personal effects of the late Mr. Langston were also sold. The trustees ot the Baptist church have voted the use of their building to I’rofcs'or Attaway for school purposes next year, and the Professor and his son will transfer their school to that place at the onening of the next session, January 10.

The school has been conducted #uh. ability in the post, and we doubt not that it will in the future receive support commensurate with its merits. —♦ ♦ - —• Cocoaßi.

The Colonel was on a prospecting trnir looking fur a healthy, growing place in which to locale permanently, and it is quite proltable that be found the place he was seeking in Canton. He would lie a valuable acquisition. I Wn hi iglon City ( o T( Spondcnce. Ccrije.spondence of The Georgian. Washington, D. C , Nov. 25, 1875, I will tell you in this short article of the 1 eautiful valley lying between the Allegha ny and Blue Ridge mountains, through which we passed a few days ago. It is likely familiar to some of your readers, but to many it will be new, and a source of pleasure, as it was to me. The descent of the first-named mountain is more than three miles, as the conductor told me —so steep that steam was not used, the speed of the cars being only retarded by the ai -brake-, that do their work in a wonderful way. When we neared the >oti tom, a most beautiful panorama spread out before us The Etowah valley below Field’s bridge is very similar, on a small scale. The Roanoke river has its rise at the head of the valley, and seems to be a bold stream at the beginning. The farming is admir able. The neatest hay-stacks I ever be held, and hundreds of acres of the finest corn stacked in lhe fields. The freshly plowed soil made almost alternate checks with older fields, and, in the fading light of evening, the scene resembled an old paint ing, rich in beauty and harmonious color ing. On we sped, our eyes lingering with de light upon the lofty mountains that encir cled the far side of the valley. White cloudlets floated about their summits, and resembled fleecy vails, resting lightly upon the dark gr< on cedars that grow luxuriantly 1 upon the mountain sides. Fat cows, fine j horses, and large flocks of sheep, were often I seen upon the route —evidences of better j farming than we sec in Georgia. As we dashed along. I saw one or two j things that betokened cither similar tastes 1 or the übiquitous character of patent modi- ( cine agents. Long lines of planking were covered with “Tutt’s Liver Pills,” “Creole Hair Dye,” etc. Just as the darkness settled upon us, we reached the hotel on the summit of the Blue Ridge, where, we understand, visitors find most delightful fare and splendid ac commodations during the whole year. A wonderful health-giving land is this high mountainous location, and the scenery is unsurpassed. Down again we go —the brakes toiling at their task until we hear, at last, the puffing locomotive, which has again taken up its work. We speed on in the darkness—a huge freight ot human Ide, ai the mercy of the monster engine that dashes madly along, around precipices and over gorges, until, lulled by the gentle motion of our j s’eeping-car, 1 sank into a profound nap, only arou-ed by the cry of “Lynchburg” from the conductor. ; There we were gently lifted —car, pa-sen gers, and all—from the Chicks that rolled us from Georgia, and quietly placed on other trucks that carried the train forward unto its fit.al destination. We had splendid ac commodations on our sleeping-car. The fiioj-t attentive porter I ever saw, and the' very nicest, cleanest berths you could wish. . 1 c< uld but compare the present traveling facilities with twenty or more years ago— wi h its jolting tracks, hard seats, and lie qu< nt changes that marked that period. ; Just, as we wi re passing the Potomac, on 1 the Long bridge, the murky clouds lifted themselves, and I caught a glimpse of the Capitol dojpe, and in a few minutes we rolled into the city, and found ourselves in lhe throng that pu lies itself iulo Washing ton at that early hour. With kindest wishes and loving memories of dear Cherokee and her noble citizens, I bid y u adieu. Occasional. i Communicated. Messrs. Editors: I sec in the last issue of your excellent paper that one of the proprietors does not live in Canton. I see no necessity for the announcement, unless it was for lhe purpose of telling the people, In his own excellent language, that he “is a ground scratcher.” I had the pleasure of passing through his farm, seven miles from Canton, anil it is a good one indeed ; but ! there is one thing about it that I do not un derstand. His cotton-fidd is almost cov ered with cotton —not on the stalks, but on , the ground. I want my friend Brewster to i tell us what he put it there for. Was it be cause of the wait, or is it a new specimen ( of cotton, planted in the tall, which nquin s the lint to be thrown over the seed to keep them warm? Will this be a bard winter? VIDI. We are at some loss to know w hat im pression the writer of the above wishes to make. We don’t see the point. For our se'f we remark, that our saving in last week’s paper that we did not live in Can ton, but on a farm seven miles away, was for the information of some of our triends i abroad, who, when they wish to call on us at home, may know where to find us. That was all. If any one, however, wishes to attach any significance to the little state ment, they are at liberty to do so. As re gards our cotton, our friend, when he passed it, must have been laboring under some kind of mental hallucination, and thought he saw sights that did not exist; for we can prove by a dozen witnesses that ai no time during the season could there be found ten pounds of cotton on the ground in the whole crop on the farm, including our own and that of several tenants. OVER THE COLNTY. 11. W, Barrow, of Etowah Good Temp lars Lodge, at Cherokee Mills, has been ap pointed to represent the Grand Worthy Chief Templar iu his lodge. A lady friend remarked to us, the other day, that she did not know why this should be called "the Sunny South,” for lhe sun had not shone here iu fourteen days. A young f riend of ours had the pleasure of eating some of Jerome's sorghum.- not long ago. Jerome says the trouble with him now will be to get the bread to “sop on huh sides.” Don’t gel out of heart this anon. A ' arrel of blockade whisky was seized in this county brthe revenue ‘officers, one day last week, vh le it was being wtgoned away, and* Ute parties having it in charge were arrested and taken to Cartersville 'or examination. A serious difficulty occurred in Salac< a district, near Walesca, last Thursday evei.- j ing, between Mr. William Sparks and a man named Harris. The latter was living with Mr. Sparks, aud on the da) mention ed some dispute arose, and hard wonts passed between the parties, which term - nated in Harris shootintr Sparks through the thigh, iufl cting a serio is but not fatal wound. Major M’iley Petty of Ophir has sent v i a splendid specimen from his turnip patcl which weighed s- yen pouads. He says he raised three hundred bushels of this vege table on a quarter of an acre, by drilling. Several burglaries occurred in the county last week/' We must all quit such work as that, or we’ll have a bad name abroad- We have furnished but few recruits to the chain-gang during the past year, and but few of us have even been in the county jail. of us have been arrested for alleged violations of the revenue laws. The latter crime is not so lai, however, since bv that, means w r e can facilitate the pay ment of the war debt. Rube McKinney proposes to swap us a couple of good hound pups for our new Singer sewing machine We don’t think j we’ll trade, as we nre not fond of mutton ' Perhaps Captain Durham would like to ! have them. Little Jimmie Steele, near Cherokee ■ Mills, owns a jennet which he rides and | works to a little wagon. The jennet threw Jimmie, the other day, and he says he is in 1 constant dread of her running away with his wagon, and causing great damage. : Jimmie is a smart little boy, and, though '•bnt nine years old, he loves to read his Bible, and anxiously awaits the weekly vis i’s of The Georgian, in which he always finds much to amuse and interest him. We hope he will soon make money enough to enable him to swap hiij jennet, for a nice pony by giving s line boot. A pony would not be so stubborn and hard to manage. A prospective millionaire objects to The Georgian because he says it is too small. AVell, when we get rich, we will make it larger: but we defy our friend to obtain for three cents as much reading matter any where else as can be found in a number of The Georgian. i The revenue officers have recently been giving some of our friends in the upper portion of the county some trouble. Many ! think the whole thing is a rete-nuuance. John McCol'um has been around again, lie says times are mighty hard, away up in “Cass,” and that sorghum is a dollar and a half a gallon. The wheat crop is looking unusually . well. The stand is good, and it is vigorous and strong. A friend of ours says the best way to f< ed a horse is to give him corn in the shuck. He says in this way he will eat it , all. . j We hear many expressing a deV-rmina tion not to make any more store accounts, and to do without everything fur which they can not pay the cash or baiter. This is sensible, and the only sure way to pros perity and independence. Debt and slavc i ry mean lhe same thing ; and the inan who voluntarily puts his head into the halter must exptct to be led at the mercy of oth i era. Keep out of debt ; keep in a good humor; keep out of the power ot selfish men ; keep in the path of honest duty; keep corn in your crib, meat in your smoke house, your money in yeur pocket, smile at ‘‘hard times,” and help those who can not help themselves. Woodstock. Correspondence of The Georgian i We need a few more energetic men with capital, to build up and develop this scc tiou. Woodstock greatly needs a good academy building. 1 Professor P. D. Whelan has been em ployed to teach a ten-months school here, beginning on the first Monday in January He will, no doubt, build up a tine school. Casey & Delaney arc doing a first-rate biisine?s at Woodstock. Casey has just j received a select stock of goods from New , York. J presume Bill viewed,the great i city, and can now sell goods as cheap as they caw be hirdin th‘e metropolis.- The people around Woodstock are very religious, temperate, and sociable; but they need a good hall, where the young fo'ks can meet and enjoy themselves. Those who desire pleasant homes would do will to visit this place, for its location is unsurpassed. Cy. Dial’s gold mine is still keeping up an excitement in this neighborhood. Ike Wood, near here, has discovered a silver mine, which is supposed to be very valuable. On the 271 h ultimo there was a lively • lime in the justice court at this place, j Quite a number of people were present to hear the lawyers. Taasly, Dowda, and Vincen. were on hand. | I find the people deeply interested in The Georgian, and highly gratified when 1 reading its contents. When the locomo tive roaches us, and a few more families settle here, you may look out for a Urge suliscripuon from Woodstock. D. j Col. B. F. Sawyer, late editor of the Atlanta Commonwealth, has resumed edit orial control of the Rome Courier Neither he nor Dwinell has ever condescended to exchange with us; but we don’t care, as we receive the Rome Commercial regularly, and don't need other paper,” as Alex. St. Clair Abrams nl’qukrs'iy. A JiavlgiHion of the Etswah. On the 4'h of July, 1833, the nation’s nn tai day was appropriately cel- braird ai Cherokee C. 11., now the site of Canton, by a large number of patriotic citizens. There were spec- lies and songs, followed by a big barb'-qiio, and a hearty conviviality which those old-time people knew so well how to appreciate. Among the toasts of fered and drank on that occasion was this: The Etowah river; The dav is not far -listant wlr>n its snrf.ee will be ns rich with floating comm.-rce as its channel is with orecioiu metals. [Received with three •heers.] The railroad had not yet pciv'trafed the "rritory of Georgia, though it had j-ist ir ived at the Savannah river opposite An gusta ; the Cherokee country was a wil derness, scoured by Indians, and filled with wild beasts, and containing only here and there, in little clearings « few white set tiers; and yet, to those pioneers, the dav was not far distant when the Etowah would be richly laden with commerce! Fony-lwo years have whirled around since then, and that predicted day has not yet arrived. Why ? Because the public spirit which animated the pioneers, though trins mi ted to their posterity, has gone to sleep. IJLJB34 a convention was held in the then little village of Rome, to inaugur ate measures by which the Coosa and its tributaries could be mule r avigable. Dr John Brewster, who had just become a resident of the county, was the d-legate from Cherokee. The convention, after some delib- ration, came to the conclusion that the Coosa, nt least, should be opened at the earliest opportunity, and a commit- which Dr. Brewster and Col. John P. Brooke were members, was a, pointed to memorialize Congress upon the subject- The result of this effort was the survey of the Coosa river; but, owing to political causes, nothing farther was then accom plished. Our readers have been informrd of what hat been done since the war in this direc tion : how one steamboat company was or ganized to navigate the Coosa, and another to navigate the Etowah river; how the latter remained inactive, while the former went so work, built a steamboat, and dem onstrated the importance of the enterprise; bow the people became aware of their in terest in the matter, how they memorial ized Congress, and, through their Repre sentative, secured an appropriation which fulfilled their wishes. But the Etowah is yet a virgin stream, impenetrated and im penetrable by the fructifying agencies of Commerce, simply because the public spirit of those directly interested has been allowed to slumber. - A half centniy ago, the great advantage of water communication was keenly felt; to-day that advantage is a hundred times greater, because the red man and the wil derness have been swept away, and broad, fruitful fields and populous towns have their places. To be sure, we have railroads within easy distance of us now, of which our predecessors were debarred the enjoyment; and the locomotive will erelong traverse this section with its bur den of freight and passengers; but these facts only heighten the advantages which would accrue from river navigation; for Commerce, like a mother’s heart, expands with each succeeding object of fostering care. Now, the opportunity is still open to the citivxms of this county and others livs ingin the neighborhood of the Etowah, to make the river navigable, and cause it to be navigated, by simply manifesting the proper spirit—which means that, if they will organize meetings along the course of the river, set forth the advantages of the scheme, and furnish their Representatives in Congress w ith the necessary data, suc cess is assured. In this district, the scheme has an ardent supporter in Dr. Felton, who will do all in bis power, if properly armed by his constituents, to secure an appropri ation from Congress. Every citizen of Cherokee county, who owns property or is engaged in business, is vitally intererted in this matter. CALI- FOR A MEETING. We, the undersigned citizens of Cherokee county, Georgia, fully convinced of the fea sibility of opening the Etowah river for navigation to Canton, and believing that the opening of the river would be of incal culable advantage to this entire region of country, hereby join in a call for a public meeting to be he’d in Canton on S.iturd ty, December 11, to take such steps as may then seem best for the purp-ise of bringing the subject prominently before Congress at its present session.
