No other word between them spoken ; You hardly could have guessed that day How close a bond was broken. The faint slight tremor of the hand That clasped her own in that brief parting Only her heart could understand, Who saw the tear-drops starting— Who felt a sudden surge of doubt Come rushing back unbidden o’er her, As with words her life without His presence loomed before her. The others saw, the others heard, A calm, cool man, a gracious woman, A quiet, brief farewell, unstirred By aught at all uncommon. She knew a solemn die was cast, She knew that two paths now must sever, That one familiar step had passed Out of Hie forever. To all the rest it merely meant A trivial parting, lightly spoken; She read the bitter mute intent, She knew—a heart was broken ! [Appletons’ Journal. — ii —ii —i On Another Tramp. PICKENS COUNTY AND ITS SCENERY —THE GEORGIA MARBLE WORKS —HOSPITA- BLE PEOPLE —CONDITION OF THE COUNTBY —THE GEOKGIAN’s CUTLOOK. Special Correspondence of The Georgian. Your correspondent has taken another “tramp,” but this time was mounted on a good four-legged horse, and hopes at some future day to rise yet higher, and to chron icle his expeditions in gradual ascent from horse to team, from team to railroad coach, thence on steamboat, and so on up. First he visited the famous old Indian ball-ground locality, where he was enter tained in good style by his excellent friends. Messrs. Fleming and Waldrup, the enter prising young merchants of that popular country stand. He at once discovered that The Georgian had found its way there, and had taken hold upon the hearts of the people. Ball Ground, so named by the Indians, is contiguous to a fertile country, and its citizens are diligently inquiring for a good school teacher. It is situated on the hack line from Cartersville to Dahlon ega, and gets a semi-weekly mail. Thence he traveled the old Jasper road to Mr. Stephen Tate’s, halting there over night. At daylight, after a hearty breakfast, he was shown around the historic premises of his hospitable host. The building is one of the oldest in Pickens county, and the bed chamber was a spacious room in which the first court was held at any point west of the Chattahoochee river. The wash stand, the door-steps, and part of the foun dations of the building, are of marble, part flesh color, and part blue variegated, pro cured from Pickens county quarries, some of the oldest slabs having been taken out by the Indians, who once inhabited the large, quaint-looking building now occu pied by educated whites. Mr. Tate has been conspicuous in connection with the Marietta and North Georgia railroad. Having heard much of the Georgia mar ble works owned by the Tate brothers, your correspondent resolved upon paying the quarries a visit, and ft was his good fortune, afhr bidding adieu to his host, to meet at Mr. Tate’s house the gentleman who has charge of the works, and who es corted him to bio house near the works. This was Mr. Cox, who then became your correspondent’s host, and whom he found fully equal to his self-imposed duties. Before reaching the quarries we passed and halted a few minutes at Tate’s flnur and grist mills, where your correspondent made some friends for The Georgian. The Georgia Marble works arc on Long Swamp creek, about two miles distant from Jasper court-house. For some five years previous to 1872-’73 they were very extensively operated by a Mr. Richardson, of Louisville, Ky., who then returned the lease to the proprietors, owine, it is sup-1 posed, to the great outlay incident to haul- i ing so great a distance to the railroad., There is a very fine water power on the j creek, just at the quarry, which was util-1 ized for sawing and working the many huge blocks ot marble that have been taken from the quarries. A large thirty-: eight-inch turbine water-wheel is now there and m good working order. On the road to the works from the mill,. the path was rough and tortuous, carrying us over abrupt hills, in view of wild, pre cipitous ravines, and through formations shifting from talcese quartz, through shales ] of the Azoic age, to schists, talcose alate, bard bine slate, and tnatbte of three dis tinct qualities.—the finest marble lying at or near the mountain base and the coarser qualities above, —with hard bluish slate on the summit. The formation is remarkable and the marble deposit immense, being to all appearances inexhaustible. A cove along the creek, of surpassing fertility, is , overlooked on either side by lofty hilte, | which give to all a weird but strikingly inviting scans. Immense stalactites drop ' from various layer* of the beautifal marble, which are richly crystallized and colored • by iron oxides. Some of these are six feet; long, and as large as a man’s body. A cave,; as yet unexplored, has its entrance cear the Virtue and Intelligence—The Safeguards of Liberty. CANTOX, CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1876. level of the creek. No one can realize the grandeur of the imposing sight presented from the quarry’s base by that lofty wail of pure alabaster white, unless he has wit nessed it. From the quarry yc.ur correspondent rode to the residence of that most excellent and dignified gentleman, Mr. W.H. Sim mons, Ordinary of the county of Pickens. He there spent a most pleasant and re freshing night. At Jasper he was fa vored by many friends who are partial to The Georgian. Major Simmons favored us with numerous interesting statistics con cerning Pickens county, the old Federal road cut out by General Andrew Jackson, etc., and with the following altitudes of mountains ascertained by the recent United States survey of this region, which will in terest your readers: Grassy knob, the highest peak in Pickens county, is 3,290 feet above sea level; Pine Log mountain, the highest peak in Bartow county, 2,383 fret above sea level; Kennesaw mountain, highest peak in Cobb county, 1,809 feet above sea level. Mr. Boutelle, United States surveyor, ascertained these facts. What most pleased your correspondent was the comfortable condition, generally speaking, of the people. Money, it is very true, is excessively scarce, and times are tight, but almost every one on the route seemed to have corn-cribs well filled, and in some instances very bountiful supplies of pork, poultry, and flour. The spirit of the citizens at every point is enthusiastic on the subject of railroads, cheap transpor tation, river navigation, good papers and good schools. At the remote mail station called Ludville there is a handsome new academy, and a large school promised— which sets our Canton academy sadly in the background. It is to be hoped that this state of things will not last. Altogether, your correspondent thinks the future of our northeast Georgia mount ains is a bright one, if the people only keep awake and stirring, and we bespeak for The Georgian a prosperity that will in crease with its yeais, and with the energy exercised and made fruitful by its managers.

Virgil. »>-♦■■■« Contributed to The Georgian. “Owe No Man Anything,” Is an injunction from a higher code than the Georgia law, yet I see in The Geor gian some one suggests that the Legisla ture reduce the homestead to fifteen hun dred dollars, which I think a very liberal allowance to those who don’t want to pay what they owe; and, in my judgment, the homestead, in the majority of cases, don’t mean anything else. I will proceed to state my views. I don’t see how it is that a man has any thing to homestead when it does not be long to him. If he goes to bis neighlior, or merchant, and gets goods or supplies, promising to pay for them, of course the credit is given upon the faith of his sup posed honest character, and his property is the security. Otherwise, if he has noth ing, he can not get the credit. Then, if be has pledged his property and his honor for the payment of his debts, it belongs to hi« creditors, and he has nothing to homestead until his debts are paid. One says he can not afford to lie broken up and see his family «uff« r, and he lakes the homestead to protect his family. A very poor protection that brings dishonor. Let him and his family go to work and live within their income, pay their debts, pre serve th*ir character and self-respect, and re«pect other people’s rights; then there will be no occasion to homestead rights that do not belong to them. Another says he took the hornet tead to keep from paying unjust debts. It is very strange that so many v*ju»t debts should be made and paid off in full so soon after a twenty-five-hundred-dollar homestead is inaugurated ; and, stranger still, that all manner of debts, when pressed upon the homesteaded for collection, turns out to be unjust If he owes at all, it is just; if be does not owe, the claim is a swindle, and not a debt. If he pays what he justly | owes, he will be held in such high esteem that all good people will protect him against swindles, and be will have no occa sion to homestead. His deed gives him a i right to claim and to hold against all com-1 ers and for all time. If be is industrious and prudent he don’t want any other homestead. If he is thriftless and spends ; his property, he has no right to swindle other people by homesteading what he has already spent. For the farther protection of those who do not want to pay their debts, we have a law that authorizes the lesser and meaner sort to render a schedule of their effects, and bid defiance to thoto whose meat and bread they have ea*.en up. It is simply : offering a premium to low-bred people to j become vagabonds, without self-respect : What do the law-makers want with such a set ’ There is certainly ns religion in that way of paying f<»r their bread. It shows : a great want of courage and moral cbarac- ‘ ter, and the act, although claimed to be • legal, sinks them so low that they are a disgrace to themselves and a canker to i their friends—lost, beyond redemption; * lost to society, and lost to the world. But the way to hell is easy. When the Legislature has the wisdom to place the rich man, the poor man, and the fool upon a common level, and, instead nf protecting profligacy and vice by laws that are unjust and demoralizing in themselves, will pass laws that require all men to discharge their obligations if it takes their bottom dollar, it will leave people some self-respect. It is fair, it is right; and when we learn that it is “root, hog, or die,” hundreds who are now leaning upon the personalty and schedule will lean upon the plow-handles, and become useful and good citizens. Then industry will have its re ward, society will begin to improve, and, when the laws lire just, plain, and honor able, all good men will respect, honor, and obey them. I see I am getting politics, morality, and religion all mixed up. I had better stop, for I am An Old Fogy. A North CaroHnlan’s View of Onr Rail road Prospects. Captain A. A. Campbell, of Tomotla, N. C.,whom our people met and heard in Canton last September, has written the fol lowing letter regarding the North Georgia railroad. It bears date December 16, and appeared it the Murphy (N. C.) Herald: For over three months I have devoted my entire time and attention in the interest of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, and, as I premised at Murphy on the 3d of September to find out all about the status and plausibility of* the enterprise and re port to the citizens of Cherokee and ad joining counties, I now propose, in as brief manner as possible, to report the status of the road and the probabilities of its com pletion to Murphy. There are now over one hundred con victs at work in the vicinity of Marietta,, repairing the grading and getting out cross ties, so as to put the road in shape for the iron on all that has been graded, a distance of twenty-three and a half miles. There are also subscription lists out, all along the line from Canton to the North Carolina !ine*lo raise seftenty thousand dollars with whltfa Co supprtM the hands while grading the road frortF Canton to the State line. So soon as that amount is subscribed, the hands will commence work north of Can ton, perhaps in three divisions on the whole line to North Carolina. The Legislature of Georgia meets in January, and it is expect ed that aid will be granted to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. If so, a contract can lie made on that amount for enough iron to track the road to Murphy on very tavorable terms. From all that I have learned of this en terprise and the country through which this road is to pass, I am satisfied that all that is needed to build the road on tire present plan of operations is confided in the ability of the citizens along the line to support the hands while grading the road. And why should they doubt their ability. Kcho answers, Why ? when it passes through one of the best grain-growing sections in the great State of Georgia, with an abundant crop on hand. Why should the Legislature of Georgia refiise to grant the aid aski-d lor, when this road is to be one of the best to supfiiy her citizens with al’ the needed articles wanted lor daily con sumption from Marietta to Murphy. Ev ery mineral that is in great demand can be found in abundance, except stone coal; every product of the toil can be raised in abundance tha* is needed for man or beast, and I have great hope and confidence that the enterprise will lie kept up, and erelong we will have a railroad. I see in the second volume, page 716, of the Proceedings of the Benate in 1872, that there were shipped frora Chattanooga and Dalton, by the car load, bacon, rye, barley, corn, flour, hay, bogs, cattle, sheep, oats, potatoes, apple*, onions, wheat, whisky, horses, and mules, to the enormous value of $25,914,281, and also of miscellaneous products, less than car loads, such as poul try, game, tobacco, Imtter, eggs, ham, cheese, manufac’ured articles, merchan dise. brandies, wine*, teas, ete , estimated to lie worth at least sll 360,000, making a total amount on these ijtides—aside from coal, cotton, famiture, lime, iron and all machinery, salt, sUte, nnd other miscella neous article*—of the enormous sum of $87374,281 Now. please think for a moment, and see how the great Empire state of Georgia is being drained and impoverished from , year to year by not having a railroad run- ■ ning through the best and richest portion . of her State, abounding hi everything that would add wealth and Happiness to her citizens. It is reasonable to suppose that at least two third* of the enormous amount is consumed by Georgia, Mid* from what comes in by other roads and means of trans portatkm. Why should w* doubt that the citizen* along the line of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad and the Legislature will do their duty in regard to this great enterprise. Let us do our whole duty in the matter, and if there should be any fail ure, let it be on Georgia and her citizens, and not on us. General Intelligence. Os the new members of Congress only 69 were college bred. The Sutro (Nevada) tunnel has penetrated a distance of 11,425 feet. Os the seventeen new Senators in Con gress all but six are lawyers. Wyoming seems to have tired of woman suffrage, and the prospects are that the bill will be repealed before long. It is stated that the $10,000,000 bridge over the Mississippi at St. Louis will not pay interest on cost during this generation. Strange as it may appear, the Mississippi legislature will contain a genuine black Democrat. His name is Vaughan, and be is from Panola county. In the Forty fourth Congress there are eight who served in th* Confederate con gress, and forty-ona who served on the Con federate side during the war. The Emperor of Brazil will probably leave for the United States in April, He will visit the Centennial, and travel exten sively through the country. In New South Wales telegraph messages are sent 4,000 miles for fifty cents, and in Victoria the government made $200,00'0 on the telegraphic service last year. The lat ter has 5,000 mile* of wire. Some Norwegians have discovered a large lake, about fifteen miles from Beaver Pass, in which the fish are so thick that a man could walk across the Ixke on their backs ; at least the discoverers say so. Wine is perhaps cheapest in the most temperate country in the world—the rural part of Tuscany; and drunkenness is less in Munich, where beer runs like water, than in London, where it costs, of the same qual ity, three times the sum. There is considerable talk iin Mississippi of amending the Constitution, so that no citizen can vote unless he can read and write, and the Democratic press is calling upon the Legislature to prepare such an amendment for submission to the people. In the Russian regular army there are 25,000 officers, comprising 704 generals, 4,- 806 staff officers, and 20,763 “superior” offi cers. The number of privates and subal terns, including musicians in active service, 779,437; The horses in the military service number 71,472. Os the 5,000,000 Jews estimated to be on the face of the globe, 120,000 are assigned to America, 46,000 to France, 30fr to Ireland, 25 to Norway. One out of every seven in habitants of Poland, and one out of every twenty-five of Hamburg, Rouinania and Austria, are Hebrews. The printing of the war records now go ing on in Washington is a work of great magnitude. A building forty by eighty feet i* required to hold these records alone. There are three hundred and fifty cords of records in this one building. The Confed erate records are about one-sixth the bulk of the Union records. It is over six years since the terrible dis aster at the Avondale coal mines in Penn sylvania, which resulted in the death of one hundred and ten men by suffocation. Th* sum of $155,146 41 was subscribed through out the country as a relief fond for the fam ilies of the victims, and this sum was in creased to $174,222 by interest. The fund has just been exhausted. The lion. George H. Pendleton, traveling in the South with his family, visited Colum bia, South Carolina, a few days ago, and each branch of the legislature appointed a committee to wait on him and invite him to visit its chamber. The speaker of the house, the president ot the senate, the chair man of each committee, the men who made the motion in each branch, and one hundred and twenty-five member* of the legislature offering him the courtesy were negroes. A representative of the Internal Revenue office h»s been sent to Beaufort, South Carolina, recently, tor the purpose of at tending to the interests of the government in the sale of valuable Sea Island cotton lands in that vicinity, which have been or dered in consequence ot the non-payment of direct taxes. It is probable that it the lands in question will not bring a proper price, the internal revenue agent will bid them in for the government. J. J. Valentine, general superintendent of Wells, Fargo & Co., publishes the annual statement of the production of precious metals in the States and Territories west of the Missouri river, including British Colum bia and the western coast of Mexico, dur ing 1875, which shows an aggregate yield of $90,880,037, being an exces* of $6,487,- 982 over 1874, which was the greatest pre vious annual yield in the history of the coast. The yield in Nevada, Colorado, Mexico, Oregon, British Columbia, Montana and Arizona increased, while in Columbia, Idaho, Utah and Washington Territories it decreased. The increase is actual except for Mexico, Oregon and Arizona, where it is apparent rather than real, as compared with other years, the regular product being accounted for and that reported hitherto emitted. The decrease in California it in the main occasioned by a stinted water supply ior placer and hydraulic mining. 1 VOLUME L-NUMBER 23. The present prospect indicates an aggregate yield of $90,000,000 in 1876, of which Neva da will doubtless produce $50,000,00). The adoption of the constitutional amend- ' meat in New Jersey, which imposes taxa-' tion on church property, is creating a stir among the clergymen of all denominations. An effort is being made to bring them into a convention to discuss the situation. The burden presses heavily on all the churches, and it is hoped that by united action the legislature may be induced to grant 'some relief by passings measure which will, at all events, exempt all church buildings throughout the state. The New York Sun states that Cardinal-' McCloskey secured aid while in Rome, - Italy, toward the building of the cathedral in Fifth Avenue in that city. He say* the ‘ structure will be completed before the end, of 1877. He.gave the order in Italy for an altar to be placed in the cathedral at a cost of $250,000. It will be made of the finest Italian marble, spacious, and of the gothic; style of architecture and plentifully deco rated with jewels and mosaics. The work": is already under way, and will be imported ! before many months. There was completed, the past year, in > the United States 1,176 miles of railroad, . against, 1,731 miles reported for the same ’ period in 1874,3,456 in 1873, 6,559 in 1872,’ The falling off is an indication of a healthy reaction agaicst the over construction of previous years. Railroads have been built ’ into wild and unsettled parts of the country,. where there was no demand for them, notic - ing for them Io do, and of course their con struction could result only in loss and dis aster. A wiser policy promises to be the rule for the future, or at least for several ’ years, and it will be better for the country. . A negro boy in Fairfield county, South > Carolina, was packed up in a bale of cotton ? last week. The deceased was engaged in picking cotton at Mr. James Jones’ press. About half a bale had been trampled dowu, and the other hands went for mure cotton, the deceased being ordered in the mean while to drive out some cattle. On the re turn of the bands the boy was not to -be • sees. The balance of the cotton was put in and trampled but slightly, the bale being light. The bale was then packed. On re moving it the negro was found dead in the • middle of the bale. It is supposed the boy entered the box and had gone to sleep and was suffocated. The United States ships, St. Lawrence - and Macedonian were sold at. the Norfolk, Va., navy yard December 31, by Leigh Bros. & Phelps auctioneers, and purchased by Northern parties. The St. Lawrence sold for $17,900, and the Macedonian for $14,071. These vessels were among the oldest ships in the navy and have been fa mous in their day. The Macedonian was captured from the British in the war of 1812 by Capt. Stephen Decatur, command ing the United States, and the St. Lawrence was present in Hampton Roads during the engagement between the celebrated iron clad Merrimac and the United States fleet. Both have been lying at the navy yard, dis mounted, for a number of years. A Centennarian Preacher. —Rev.. Henry Boehm, better known as Father Boehm, the oldest preacher of the Methodist Church in the country, and probably the oldest clergyman in the world, died De cember 29th, at the house of his grand-, daughter, near Richmond, Staten Island. On the Bth of last June, the one hundredth anniversary of his birth was celebrated in Jersey City by the Newark Conference, when Father Boehm submitted an outline of his own life and labor in the Methodist Church, and addresses were made by other clergymen. The excitement of the occasion prostrated him. Although he rallied, he waa again seized witn illnes on the 12. h of De cember, while attempting to preach in the village church at Richmond, Staten Island.- He was born in Lancaster county, Pennsyl vania. He joined the Methodist Church in 1797. He served in the ministry in Penn sylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and was the traveling companion of Bishop Asbury. For more than thirty years Father Boehm has been in the New Jersey Conference, and as early as 1842 was on the list of su pernumerary preachers. The present timber supply for Europ*, and possibly, in the not very remote future for the Atlantic States of America, cornea, and will come, from Russia and Finland. Large quantities are obtained from Sweden and Norway, which contains extensive tracts of forest land ; but the principal re source must be from the extensive forests of Russia, from which timber is now im ported by Great Britain alone to the amount of several millions of pounds sterling annu ally. From Russia also ultimately will come the European supplies of furniture and wooden ware. The Russian market will be for many years to come an increasing one for all sorts of wood-working machinery, American manufacturers who have th* sa gacity to cultivate this market, and the en terprise to be among tbe Qist that enter it, can scarcely fail to build up a large and profitable trade in wood-working machin ery.
