In i!,t K<]>(<yr of Tin hlsj>rtrs : The people of Line Log claim to lie honest, peaceable, and law abid ing citizens, and in the main this is tme. But Line Log, like many oth er communities has not been without “the wolf among the sheep. - ’ We allude to one Dr, A. EL Davis, an emigiant from Lickens county, Geor gi i, and lately a citizen of Line Log, but now tied to pails unknown. Dr. Davis came from Lickens to Tine Log sometime in January or February of tbe present year, tor the purpose ot practicing medicine. This he continued to do until a few days since. 'W lhle his course here was not such as a majority of the people of this - community endorse, yet be won for himself a tew triends, some of whom doubtless were hon est and sincere in their attachments to him. YYe know but little of Dr. Davis career while in Lickens county only that he was indicted, tried and con victed of an infamous crime— a crime, though not so heinous, yet somewhat similar to tbe one he nt tempted to commit in our midst a few days since. Dr. Davis is noted here, be it said) to the credit and honor of the people of this District, as being the first cit izen of Line Log that was ever ar raigned before tbe criminal colirts ot Biirtow county, and also as the iirst one of her citizens that ever attempt ed to forcibly violate tbe chastity of a virtuous female. The tacts of the transaction, above alluded to, are about as follows - : Dr. Davis, a few days since, called to see, professionally, ihe young wife of one of the best citizens ot this district. The lui.sband was not at ttie house, but was ui the licld tit wgie. Davis examined bis patient and remained at the house tilt the husband came in, which was about 12 o’clock. Alter dipper the husband, not suspecting the evii dc-npis of I)a- itf, H'tnrped to his labors, leaving Davis at his house. As soon as the husband had left, Davis proceeded to the room of the wife and look a seat on the side ot the bed, pppn which she was lying, and asked her to hug mid tfiss bint- + Mi 8 she refused to do, He then threw his arms around her and kissed her, site all the while striving to extricate hprself from his grasp. lie, nothing daunted ur tfi}* IY-puLP, p’\opeedyd at once to carry out his hellish designs hv force, and doubtless would have snccdCded but for the timely appear, ance'of ona Of m? fema’e rela tives, who being neat’ tbP apd hearing the cries of the lady cama running to ascertain the cause.

New York Sun.s Owing the satisfactory results mL tainert by actual woik in the mines since the war, general attention has been lately directed to the gold belt of Northern Georgia. In the days of Jackson and Calhoun a great stir was made about the gold region of Northern Georgia, and both of those famous men owned mines in or near Dahlonega, ;n JJall county. One mine still bears the name oi the Carr olina statesman. Until the close of the civil war mining in Georgia was confined most ly to the northeastern conties and to one or two liiiiiM in tJiP Alkiloona mountains, in Cherokee county. It was carried on chiefly by panning or pan washing, and a large pai t of the population around Duhlonega made a living in this way. Statistics show that had bpen panned out in the counties of Lumpkin, Hall, Paulding, and Cherokee. The mines in Cherokee and Paulding were the freshest, those around ]bihlonega, where the l nited States mint was Mti.alih], heinij the lirst worked. I'h n came t'ne rnsn io California, and the Georgia mines were neglected, except by plodding ppotde, who preferred to wash out enough gold id} - a bare support rath er than cultivate the soil L,au!y, however, the interest in the Georgia mines has been revived, nut only in that State, but in the North and the West as well; and in the last two \ pftiM 4pypyeries have been made which, the Georgians eUinij defftoo si rate that their gold belt is as rjoh as the average Cal tornia Helds. This gold belt is a well defined geological iormntion, beginning in Nova Scotia, coming to the surface in Dutchess countv, New York, cropping out free !v in Virginia, North and South Cnr oli„a !*pd Geoi 'da, and finally disap pearing in Alabama, tug di. : ection being from nor beast to south.- west. The principal gold-hearing counties of Georgia are White, Lumpkin, Datvson, Cherokee, Pauld ing and fjgvroll. with a small outcrop in Haralson. The inOpi celebrated mines are the u Loud,” in White county; the “Battle Branch,” “Hand," bFiirlley;” “Benudig,” “Lawrence,” “Pigeon Roost,* and “Lagg’s Branch.‘l in Lumpkin coun ty ; the “Uranklin,” in Dawson ; the “Strickland” and “King,” in Chero kee; beside? (lie Stegall and some others in Paulding. r ips Glade mines, in Hall county, have been sold to a Brooklyn man- CAHTERSTILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1877. Several of the mines mentioned above are worked by the hydraulic process, but mere are about lU$ stamp mills running, and many more are go ing up. The best stamp miffs m the United Mutes, singularly enough, are made in Atlanta, Ga , whence they have been shipped to Peru and many to California. A fair sac ; V • f the capabilities ot tlie Georgia gold belt is thus stated by Mr, N. 11. Hand, who is running a mine in Lumpkin county : ‘T represent a capital ot about $35J,00j. We ha\ e a canal and three-feet iron pipes twenty-eight miles long, are rumiiug titty-nine stamps, have thirty more in course of coustruction, and for every dollar so far exp nded we have received from 8-> to $•) in return. This i* about the average result of sys'ematic, honest woik. Among the quartz veins yr leadsi.ro many rich pocket.-g which produce from £2,(DO to So.ooo m gold per ton. In the Findley mine a quartz vein has been recently struck carrying $3,00(1 to the ton. From Paulding county a corre spondent writes : , "We are making discoveries In prospecting in this county which warrant the hope that mines richer than the Strickland or Glade mines may be opened here before long. A. e think our gold belt more promising as an investment tor Northern capi tal, and more encouraging t|> young men from the North who tru e taken the gold fever, than nnythjng that can be offered in the Black Mlill: oi Dead wood river leads. i• ■ s g -( region is only thirty-siy honv by rail from New York. The eimate is fine, food and labor are chlnp, and fuel tor running the machinery neces sary to extract the gold froil the ore cheaper by tar here than anyyhere in the world. There is also Some ex citementover the discovery ot dia mond fields, bpsid -s oilier coj-nn dium and other valtukble Uinerajs, but the chip! interest DDL’- 4 in l|i well ascertained value of the gold products. These are. estimated va riously by experts to be in the aggre gate throughout the gold region up to tills time, between $3( 0 000,000 and $7)00,003,000. The business is in its iufancy bui tin it>!j-if‘)it s to industries ot all kinds is very en couraging to the whole oi this rich grain producing section.

A Short Rio"r*phic4l Sketch of our is linguinhed Citizen. i From Uie Atlanta Constitution.] William Tatum Wofford, of Bar tow county. one of the delegates to the convention from the forty-second district, was bom in Habershatp county on the -3th day of June 1823. 11 is father wasa native of Haber sham county; his mother was a Miss Tatum, of Virginia, and a most esti mable lady. Ilis father died when the subject of this sketch was quite young, and his rearing and education devolved up>n his mother, he being an only son. She always entertained for him the purest parental affection and early taught him those high traits of morally, integrity and ve racity which has distinguished him through life, lie was educated at Gwinnett Manual Laborer’s school. Gen. Wolford was married to Miss Julia Dwight, daughter of the iate Dr. Dwight, of Murray county. The first civil office to which Gen. Wofford was elected was a member of the bower house of the General Assembly, at tiie election in October, 1810. receiving the highest vote in the (then CVss) county. He was re elected in 1851, again receiving the highest vote. He was said to he one of t lie most attentive ami useful members of the two legislatures of which he was a member, and had tor his colleague the Hon. Win. 11. Felton, the present member of Congress from the Seventh district. At the meeting of the Legislature in November, 1853, lie was elected clerk of the House, receiving about three-fourths of the votes of ihu members, lie then re tired from official life until iB6O, when a convention was called by the Legislature, he was induced to be a candidate for that convention op the anti-secession ticket.
