THE ETOWAH VALLEY.
Its Wealtli—Producing Elements What
the Boats are Going After—A Golden
Opport unity Lost I>y t he Inaction ol Gov.
Smith and the Sitting; Leg'slature—The
Political Lookout.
To the Editor of the Rome Courier.
The Etowah Valley is the latitudi
nal centre of Cherokee Georgia. It
seems with a greater variety of val
uable products and minerals, and a
cl'mate more genial, than any val
ley in the State. On the North, from
Cartersville to Canton, lie Pine Log
and Hickory Log mountains, which
are the depositories of enough first
class iron ore to construct every agri
cultural and machinerie implement
to build every railroad and vessel, to
iron every wheeled vehicle, and to
point every tool that will be needed
in Georgia in the next two centuries.
In the mountains in the North,from
Canton to Dahlonega, are beds of
mica, iron slate, and mountains of
marble, workable veins of zinc,silver,
and gold in such quantity and of such
quality, surrounded by the most fav
orable circumstances for develop
ment, and yet so practically unknown
as to astonish any one at all cognizant
in their value to the world.
In the valleys, ten to twenty miles
in length—of these mountains from
Cartersville to Dalonega—are fertile
fanning lands, protected from the
wintery blast of the North by trends
of mountains covered with the
wealth of forest, opened to the genial
rays of a Southern sun on the South
and watered by streams that rush in
torrents from their mountains heights
and debouch into the Etowah Valley
smiling in all its loveliness and
wealth of fields. These streams sup
ply the water-power of a dozen Mer
rimacs, and while the Merrimac
turns hundreds of wealth-producing
wheels, these, though in the best cli
mate for manufacturing in the world
are allowed to fret and dash them
selves against their rocky banks and
over the nebbly bottoms with scarce
ly an effort to utilize them or even
to let the capitalists and manufac
turers of the world know they exist.
On the South of the Etowah, from
Cartersville to the mouth of Little
river, is a rich farming country, with
its gently sloping hills and richly
blessed valleys, traversed by several
veins of gold and many traces of
graphite and silver. On Little River,
from its mouth for nearly thirty miles
lies a broad body of lich bottom,
wnicn ovt/ rivals any land in upper
Georgia in the production of die
cereals, and which would, under an
advanced system of agriculture, equal
the B'ue Grass region of Kentucky
in the growth of clover and herbs
and timothy grass.
Between Little River and the
Etowah is a large extent of lands re
munerative in its agriculture pro
ductivity, rich in its excellent timber
and richer in its deposits and veins of
gold. This identical territory will
ere long be shown to be the richest
gold fields in Georgia, if not in the
Union. One deposit and several
veins oi huun dis
covered wlneh, with crude means ol
mining, are already shown to be in
credibly rich.
The Dial deposit panned $lO to a
bushel of ore; tlie Hilihouse vein
near Canton is estimated at $300.00
per ton of ore; and the Franklin and
Scudder mines are being steadily
worked by Kentucky men, who tell
no tales, but double their energies
and working force. Numerous veins
aie being opened in a slow and un
satisfactory way by farmer miners.
The discovery and developments so
far made domonsirate that this is the
gold field of Georgia,
From Hightower to Dahlonega
stretches one of the most productive
and loveliest valleys in all the land.
It is rich in the fruits of field, garden
and orchard; richer in its immense
quantity of copper and gold ore, but
richest in the Etowah water-power,
which though excelling the Merri
mac, has not from time immemorial
found more to do than turn the little
wheels of a few grists and saw mills.
Besides this, Etowah duties a large
por'd on of Forsyt county—magnifi
cent in its agricelianil and piomicul
lal advantages, and unsurpassed in
its native manufacturing facilities,
The Etowah Valley and the adja
cent territory affords the most invi
ting field for the investment of capi
tal in the United States. Its devel
opment and utilization would work
an unpreeented era in progress and
prosperity of Georgia. The truth is,
Georgia is too poor to allow this
world of varied wealth to lie here not
only unutilized, but practically un
known. The only auspicious out
look at present for its development
a?ises from energetic efforts of the
plucky Marietta & North Georgia R.
R. Company, and from an
hoped for Congiessional approori i*
tion for the opening of river naviga
Lion to your flourishing city of Rome
Asiilc from tlicoo lxiuvriufllls, m 6f °
is no hope for its development, no r
for making its pre-eminent natlv e
wealth known to the world. Thegran’
destopportunity for advertising this
native wealth will be offered the Cen
tennial Exhibition.
Car loads of this magnificent ore.
slate and marble; specimens of the
varied agricultural, promicultural,
and horticultural product, maps,
containing drawings of these unequal
ed the water powers, and phamplet
setting forth these superior climatic
advantage, ought by all means to he
exhibited at the Centennial. But the
non progress! v e,psuedo-eeon m ic Gov
ernor of Georgia did not even conde
scend to dignify the Centennial with
a notice in his recent message, and
the sitting Legislature so far lias
dribbled away its time and the peo
ple’s money without the least exhi
bition of a statesmanship that grasps
the potent possibilities of a Centen
nial Exhibition of dear old Georgia’s
wealth.
The people of this section have
staked their individual all upon the
completion of the Mareitta & North
Georgia Railroad, with trust in the
State to eschew the necessary pittance
of the amount promised, and guaran
teed by soiumn legislative act. But
the Legislature, running in its accus
tomed ruts after peUy local bills, has
no time for the consideration of ques
tions that demand an advanced
statesmanship for their solution,
while the radical government of
Georgia lias ma ked an era of mate
rial progressiveness, backed by a
shameful and lecklessdishonestfinan
cial administration.
The Democratic Government of
Georgia is working an era of ret
rogrossiveness and deathly stagna
tion of public enterprise, backed by
high taxes, much of which goes to
support to an unwieldy General As
sembly and its cleigical bummers
and its multiplicity of subordinate
State, and the county and municipal
officers. Georgia is at present pro
lific in high salaried low officers. The
low hut deep muimurings of the la
boring masses —the voting masses—
protend an enormous reaction in
State politleial parties and policies
at no distent day. But of this, we
shall see. Respectfully, yours,
North Georgia.

The Buffalo Express (Rep.) says
;< the attempt of a Washington corres
pondent to bring out Senator Conk
ling as au heir of General Grant has
ingioriously failed.”
Hon. A. H. Stephens.
In the February number of Har
per’s Magazine, we find a brief but
very interesting sketch of Hon. A.
H. Stephens. Referring to Mr.
Stephens and his known hospitality
at Liberty Hall, the writer says:
“ Once in you are sure to he asked
to stay all night, if you find Mr.
Stephens at home and are not too
manifestly a reporter; and if lie is in
Washington someone will kindly
show you all that you wish to see.
This is not much. The house is the
one in wnieh he once boarded when
the six dollars were a great sum to
him, and as it was the pride and glo
ry of his young manhood to at last
own and complete it and slowly to
own adjacent properties and to gather
his kindred about him, so it has al
ways been his glory to keep its little
rooms, that are boarded ana papered,
and its steep stairs, that he has not
often climbed since a great gate fell
upon him in 1869 and crushed him
into life-long lameness, and its breezy
passages, where the water-bucket
wait3 for often thirsty lips; its twin
back porches in which questions of
Southern empire have had debate of
life and death; its library from which
thieving borrowers constantly skim
the cream; its little back bedroom
where he wrote the War Deeween the
States, and where he suffers like a
martyr and endures like an Indian.”
In conclusion the writer says: “His
heart has two loves, wifeless and
childless; the one to rest his ashes
with those of his fathers, by the
heap of stones that is the ruin of the
chimney of his boyhood’s first fire
side; the other to die in harness, al
ways seeking the good of all aaen,
not of a part, and loving the repub
lic and liberty as men have loved
their families,”
Mr. Hendricks for the Presidency'
Philadelphia, Jan 29. —The fol
lowing is the full text of Speaker
Kerr’s letter to Mr. J. H. Reall:
Washington, Jan. 25, 1876.
To J. H. Reall, Esq., Philadelphia:
Dear Sir: Several days ago I re
ceived by mail, accompanied with
your card, an article over your name,
published in the Delaware county
Democrat, of December 30, last. I
perused the article with much inter
est, as many of its views command
my unqualified approval; but I have
only time now to thank you for your
very kind reference to mo i n that ar
ticle, and say that it is not my desire,
in any degree whatever, that my
name shall be used in connection with
the national ticket this year. The
Indiana Democracy will present to
our next national convention another
other sons as a candidate for the
Presidency, Gov. Hendricks, in
whose advocacy for that high place
I will stand with them in hearty-co
operation. My judgment is that our
friends, this year, cannot do better,
if so well, than to nominate Gov.
irieimi itn 3.
I am, with great respect,
Very truly yours,
* M. C. Kerr.

C’apt. D. C. Kells, late of the United

Any officers or soldiers who served
in Mexico, and would find It conve
nient to go to Washington, will
please communicate their names, as
I would he pleased to appoint them
as alternates.
The presidents of railroad lines
between Georgia and Washington
City are respectfully requested to
communicate upon what terms they
cau convey delegates to and from
Washington City.
I trust the press of the State, for
the sake of the brave men interested
will see fit to publish this call.

The Pacific Methodist recommends
thefollowing premable and resolution
to the consideration of Methodist Ep
iscopal conferences: “Whereas, Gil
bert Haven has told so much that is
untrue about the South, and has gone
into such ecstacies over mulatto beau
ties, and has dabbled so much in poli
tics that he has become unaccepiable
therelore, Resolved, That he be re
qnested to desist from the exercice of
his episcopal office until there is a
thorough reform in his morals.
The mills m Columbus make the
market lively when it is at the lowest
pitch. The bales recived in seed cot
ton still remain to he added, which
will add about a thousand bales to
the receipts of the market. These
factorses support, directly, thousands
of people. The pay rolls of evry
two weeks, setting on mondays, a
mount to at least slo,ooo.[our largest
mill has just declared a dividend of
eight per cent, per annum, and all
are reported doing well.
A leading manufacturing and mi
ning journal says Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee have more extensive
deposits and beds o£ iron ore than
any other States of the union. Ten
nessee has more extensive beds of
marble of greater variety of color
than and other State in the union.
The copper deposits iu Tennessee are
more extensive and valuable than
those of any other section in Amer
ica.
So Bristow is not for Morton as a
Presidential candidate, after all, but
is squarely committed to Bristow.
Reliable Washington advices are to
the effect that the report that Bris
tow intends to write a letter coming
out in favor of Morton is false. The
relations of these gentlemen are cor
dial, but they have not even con
versed on this subject, and Gen. Bris
tow does not propose to meddle with
the subject of the nomination of oth
ers.
The Chicago distillers, says the
Courier-Journal, admit that they
have paid out $2, 000, W0 for their pro
tection and defense, and it is charged
that the lawyers for the prosecution
have bargained with the ring attor
neys to let the “guilty men” oft’ very
easily. This circumstance having
become known at Washington, it is
said Secretary Bristow will shortly
completely change the programme
for the prosecution.

Christian Index,
ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
rSAHE CHRISTIAN INDEX ANT) BAPTIST
2 appeals to the affection as well as to the
interest of every member of the great Baptist
family in Georgia. Every Baptist in the South
feels a just pride in his or her denominational
paper, and should use every possible means to
induce non-subscribing Baptists to take this,
THE BEST RELIGIOUS FAMILY PAPL R
IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
In size, mechanical execution and complete
ness it is UNSURPASSED.
Its Editorial Stuff is composed of some of the
mo.-,t eminent writers in the Denomination.
It lias a large corps of paid Contributors and
Correspondents.
Itkis the Denominational Organ of Georgia Baptists,
endorsed by their Conventions and urgentlv
recommended to the exclusive favor and
patronage of the Denomination in Georgia.
Therefore we urge and earnestly request ev
er) Baptist in Georgia to subscribe for The In
dex. Every Pastor should see to it that bis
membership is supplied with the paper.
BSsEveiy Baptist in Georgia should make
it his duty to subscribe foe and support the
State Organ of his Denomination.
See its Peculiar Merits aM Aiianiaies,
1. Asa Denominational Organ. In it are
found discussed all topics and subjects vital to
the Christianity of the age, and especially to
us as Baptists. No paper evidences more wis
dom in discussing the “signs of the times.” It
does not sound the alarm alter errorists have
done their work.
2 The Index •'ontains all the latest Church
intelligence, revival and otherwise. All facts
pertaining to the progress and prosperity of
our Zion, that can be gathered from the press
and correspondence, are to be found in its col
umns.
3. The Spirit of the Press of all Denomina
tions touching subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds of
the age think, as to the subjects indicated, as
well as of those who edit- and control the paper.
1. “Our Pulpit” i> another important fea
ture. Each issue contains a carefully prepared
sermon, which, in itself, is worth the subscrip
tion price of the paper.
5. All information relating to Husbandry—
the laboring class or Granges—is carefully ma
nipulated lor your benefit.
C The wants of your children are not neg
lected. Selections are made from the best Sub
bath school and children’s papers, making
this department alike instructive and enter
taining.
7. From the secular press is gleaned the
latest Dolitical intelligence, national and in
ternational.
These are some of the peculiar merits of The
Index. Now, as to its advantages:
1. You have, combined, the theological, lit
erary, Sabbath school, political and agricultu
ral in our paper, all for Three Dollars.
2. The paper is centrally and cligibh located
for gathering all intelligence pertaining to our
Southern Zion.
3. Its publishers have their own publication
bouse—hence the permanency of the enterprise.
Remember these advantages as well as mer
its. Do not let this opportunity pass to secure
the paper yon need.

themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the giowing evils which threaten to
overwhelm all in common ruin, 'there must

nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to iniorin them truthfully of
all matter.- in which they themselves are
mostly concerned.
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of z Presidential campaign ol the greute-i
