THE EXPRESS. Cedartown, June 20th JNO. W. RADLEY Editor. The Express has a larger circu lation than any other newspaper published in the 38th Senatorial District TO THE PUBLIC. The editor of this paper will be absent from his post of duly for the next six weeks. He trues not only to visit relatives and friends, but will during his absence visit the cities of Nashville, Louisville, 8t. Louis and Cincinnatii on business connected with tho Express. We have all along promised an improvement in the paper—we go now to perfect those improvements. To get the necessary material lor enlargement, new type, chases, elc., and a job press, it will require an outlay of sev eral dollars. We confidently rely on those who may be owing us to come forwardyuid settle balances due. If all will contribute their mite, there will be no difficulty in the consnma- tion of our every plan. During our absence the paper will he edited by competent and trust Worthy gentlemen. Mr. Ed. F. (Jiiison will he at his post in the oflico, and parties desi rous of muking payments may do so, his receipts and contracts being goud during our absence. POTTER’S PYRAMID. M c Li n Weber (dead) Anderson (alive) Senator Mathews (sick) Seretary Sherman (mail) Envoy Extraordinary Stoughton Paris Plenipotentiary M inister Noyes STEPHENS’ LETTER. Men of candor, whether they he friends oronemies to A. H. Stephens, doubtless experienced a deep sense o! mortification when they perused bis letter to the Chairman of the Democratic party of the eighth dis trict, That one whom we had hon ored so highly, and whom we had es teemed as one of the brightest con stellations in Ihu intellectual galaxy of our Empire Btatc, should prove himself capable of such low bigotry and disgusting personal egotism, (trikes 11s with wonder and pain, and we can not but excluim, “How have the mighty fallen.” He has virtually thrown himeelf aloof from the bona fide actions of n party to whom he owes so much, uud throws himself in the position that should they fail to nominate himself or do as he may diotate, he will at once ditcard aud pfanmince tllem^a set of “irresponsible political trick- iters.” This may show the eighty pounds of dried up confederacy to be a shrewd politician, but it certainly amaoks of dishonor. The most char itable construction we can give his conduct is that it is more an evidence ol puerile senility than decayed in integrity. HTTIm investigation caused by the passing of the Potter Resolution is bringing to light some terrible rev elations, and is “striking terror to ths souls of muny who were erst re garded as some of our country's shi- nining lights. Tis strange that men of mtirked intelligence and fine cul ture should stoop so low as to sell their country’s franchise for their own personal and pelty aggrandize ment. A Judas Iscariot or a liene diet Arnold seems to be extraordina rily common. It is folly and doing injustice to their constituents that Congressmen should think of closing the session until the matter is thor oughly sifted, and the cap of crime fitted on those who are guilty. When its cost, is weighted by men against the object to be accomplished, they disclose a weak sense of national pride and honor.

The Weekly News is not on ly the largest but the best Weekly Published in the Southern States. It is well edited, ami oon'ains an immense amount of reading mutter, and its typographical execution is un surpassed. It is a newspaper in ev- vrj sense of tho word.

The vices of small men were never more conspicuously made the instru ments of punishment to greater men than in the investigation now goi g on at the Capital. If James E. An derson Imd been an angel of light lie would not have been the tool ol John Sherman and other leading friends of Mr. Hayes. It is of no use for Mr. Sherman or Mr. Matthews or their friends to say, now, that An derson is a forger, perjurer and drunkurd. The truer such state ments nre the more damaging they are to Republican leaders who used him and his like. IIo did his work, and kept the documents which show the connection of the leaders with tliut work. Ilis character is of no consequence except being very hud, there is all the more reason for be lieving he could be and was employ ed in the very bad work the Repub licans hud to do. The witness Danall, who held a seat in Congress to which he was no more elected than Mr. Hayes was to the Presidency, and who has been put out to make place for the man renllv elected, did not add much to our knowledge of Louisiana. lie helped, indeed, in a general way to make plain the degradation ol Re publican politics in Louisiana, as lias every witness so lur examined. Tiler is nothing like it in our history. The infamous River and Harbor hill has gone to a Conference Com mittee hut comparatively few of the Items are in dispute. The hill cannot cover less Ilian eight millions after leaving the Committee. When the finul vote conies in the ll .-us. there will ho a vigorous lint probably I ftlessi' unsuccessful effort to save the five or six millions of waste that is unques tionably in the bill. In the House for several days the “Sundry Civil Hill” has been under discussion. When this is out of the way the Army hill will come up. On botli there will be contesls between the two houses, but not enough io makeT* post pone life lit of uuy of ad journment next Monday necessary. Claims recommended for payment by the Southern Claims Commission, being for properly taken in the South by Union troops during the war, were provided for by a bill which passed the Senate yesterday. The Senate also passed the Post Office appropriation hill, and a defi ciency bill of some six millions, and postponed until tho next session a resolution regarding the enforcement of the 8 hour law. Among the minor acts passed is one which allows the Washington Monument Society to go on with the work on that unfinished shaft. From all sections of the country Senators and Representatives receiv ed earnest letters on this subject, (bowing, let us hope, a revived feel ing of regard for the father of his country, and an interest in the early days of the Republic. Among the interesting political announcements just made is that Ex- Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, will he a candidate for his old seat. His chances of election would seem to be exoellcnt if the contest is between him and Ingalls, present Senator, who came to the place by mistake and has done nothing but make mis takes sinoe be cume hero. Pomeroy may not be very able, or very honest, but there are others'less able and less honest. Austin. ore, and might be reasonably said richer, when the proper depth is nt- liiinoil to run the present live stamp mills for the next twenty-five years, and then not have the mine more than practically developed. As depth is attained, as in the mines on the celebrated Comstock, of Nevada, and also in other mines of different states and territories, the ore will increase in value—this is no mere supposition lint the fact will and must be fully demonstrated at. no great distant date, not only in this, hut the many ther mines in the state. The ore at this mine is, properly speaking, quite easily and readily crushed, the live stamps, when run up lo full s|e d will crush ten tons every twen ty-four honrs. The surface around and near the main view will pan rom one to three cents per panful. With the facilities fur working this mine I don’t think it can be equaled by any in Ga. liy the use of ivate which is oonveyed by ditcli to a re uir near the top of the mountain, the ore can be'concentrated and car- ied into the mill in sluice boxes ut a small expense, and at the same time save the free gold that the state contains. This feature alone, to say nothing of the many other advanta ges, makes the Annie one among, and perhaps till* best mine in the stale. The views are well defined and as well compaot as in liny mine I have ever worked. I did not find during my stay of five or six years in the far West better defined and compact views.than here in the Aiiiiuic, The yield of gold from this mine Inis been somewhat limited as yet, owing to the facilities for working the ore, but now that this deficiency lias been filled by placing un engine to run the ne.w live slump mill which will he started up by tile 151li the yields will be steady and sure mid will be a good paying enterprise to the fortunate owners. The next, and only gold mine now being worked except, the Annie, is the Gold Hill, which is owned by Easly & MoOay. This mine is on the adj lining lot to the Annie and of ouufso is on the same bell though somewhat richer ore, but not in Biicli large quantities; however there is plenty of rich and merchant able ore ut the Gold Hill to justify the erection of the proper machinery for working the mine.

June, 10,1878. Editor Express: Per request I will give you ns near as possible a correct statistic of the mines in tliiwsection, however my teste of the ores are rath er on tile cruel! order as I have no way of testing only Hint of a hand morter and pan for pulverizing and panning the same. In this trued way of testing I find the ore of the Annie mine, taking it on an average, will pay right dollars per ton, this, I think a fair estimate (per ton value) of the hundred and fifty or two hun dred tons now on the dump at the mill, and also of the vast quantity in sight tlirongh the mine. We find ore in this mine that will assay as high a. five hundred dollars per ton, although this high grade ore is not so plentiful, the occasional bodies of such ore helps the lower class and makes the working of the large quantities a success, thereby giving the owners a fair margin on their in vestment From the present indica tions in and about the Annie there will be euough of the above grade by the picsent owners for the same purpose. This mill is only run about two hours a day on account of not having sufficient water. The water used these two hours is caught in a reservoir during the night. There is water enough at this mine for all practical purposes by the use of steam power, and as wood is so plen tiful unit handy, tho expense of steam power would not amount to any great expense. In the gulch below this mine the places were goud, averaging ten dol lars per (lay to tlie liatid. This pla- cus ground was worked out before tbe war by Mr. Williams and others, and after running with the work to tho brow of the hill they found some very rich sliutes of ore which paid handsomely. Mr. MoOay, the superintendent says the ore, on an average, will us- snyseventy-five dollars per ton. Some of the ore ut the Gold Hill will run up into the thousands. The surface about on the hill will average from three lo five cents to the pan fill. At this mine there is plenty of ore that would pay handsomely if tho proper machinery was brought into requisi tion and backed with energy. There is plenty of property through here only waiting development to re veal its hidden trenoures. As there is no other woflr of im portance in the way of milling being done out this wuy I will olose for this time. I will give ^you it description of the Biliks Copper mine ill my next.
