<H TRAGJ OI S CONDUCT.
The Vile Attempt of n Lecher.ms Doctor
to Violate Female Chastity.
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,

THE GOLD BEhT Ot.- G J'.'f.'ftGlA.
New Stamp Mills Going Up in an Inviting
llegion that is Easily Accessible.
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 -(

from New York. The eimate is
fine, food and labor are chlnp, and

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

GEN. XV. T. WOFFORD.
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. He was elect
ed, again receiving the highest vote
in the county. There is no man in
the State who portrayed the disasters
that s 'cession would oring upon our
peop.e more truly and vividly than
Gen. Wolford, lie opposed secession
as long as !;;s opposition would avail
anything, hqt Vyheq flje people of j
the State, throijgl) their delegates, 1
declared (jenpgjq no Jpfigef a ipeii}-.
her of the American j*nu>n, lie’ past
his lot with lii~ people, determined
to stand by them and share their
fortunes, whatever it might be. The j
next civil office to which he was!
elected wasa member of the United
States Congress, in January, 1566,
n reiving the almost unanimous
Vot.. bOut lit lliVl P*i* . I, i t i'( 6, j _;h
he had two competing aspirants for
the place. As is well remembered,
none of the members elected to Con
gress from this State at that time
were admitted to their seats.
The military record of Gen. Wof
ford has* pPMf a idoSt one,
uin.urpas.-ied by any of his living
compeers. During the Mexican
war, though then but qu tea youth,
he raised a company of cavalry and
repaired to the seat of war, where he
displayed that cool courage which so
distinguished jpifi Bt ro W* , tr9' Wh> -
Ijetvveen Die States,
In 18oi, when the Confederate
Congress declared war against the
United Stales, and when volunteers
were called for and regiments Were
organized, Gen, Woff m.’ y^i, v pierced
Oqijjiej vp- \ynat was'then known as
the first regiment of the fourth
brigade of Georgia volunteers, arid
subsequently the Jgth Georgia i-egi
ment, a regiment which, under its
gallant leader, done as much hard
lighting as any regiment in the Con
federate service. He was promoted
during the war to tho vapb pf hligu
(lieV gepeivj, ‘ li'is ability and gal
lantry entitled idm to a higher rank.
There was probably no officer in the
Confederate service who was engaged
in more hard fought battles and
acquitted himsolfw jth more courage.

men of lps pomqiand.
In the winter of Ufa he was as
signed |o tjie pomarand oft he forces
in North Georgia. Everything in
that section of the State was in a
state of confusion; thee vv re about
ten thousand soldiers scattered
through the cmmqry jq ynqflU bodies
or independent companies, aome of
them committing murders and dep
redations upon the citizens. It de
volved upon Gen. Wolford to consoli

a terror to the people. Jo this he
succeeded beyond the expectation of
.every one, and restored order and
quiet throughout the ‘district of
which he was commander,
Alter tne surrender Men. Wofford
returned home and did everything
in his power to allevate die almost
starving condition of hja country! pep.
Ilis iioi'Tie uonuuct, which his S3'm
pathetie nature prompted him to
rentier (lie people at that time,
doubtedly endeared him to them,
and still added to Ids unrivalled pop
ularity in his count\; for, during the
last huaftef ui Heefitqiy, DC Jt
all times been regarded as the most
popular man in the county. This
popularity was not attained, as is
often the~ case by political jobbery
and trickery, but by his true merits
as a man and a citizen.

takes much interest in that occupa

good and turifty fanners locate in his
section.

ways been what used to be termed
Jackson Union Democrat.
Those who know Gen. Wofford
best insist that there is no truer or
better man within the broad jimitsi
,of the Utah-. He u .lot omy liberal
minded but liberal, pecuniarily, to
the extent of his means. He is gon
er..us and kind-hearted. Georgia
will have no purer or truer son in
the convention than Gen, Win. T.

which members arp paid, says tjiat

THE LEVANT CASE.
We find the following in the At
lanta Constitution, of yesterday:
“Some time ago Foster Blodgttt had
John E. Bryant indited for libel on
tBTDffiU Gf ''publications made by
Bryant i;i the Atlanta Republican .
We understand that the case will be
called for trial on Monday next, in
the City Court, and will tie pressed.
It is said that the trial will develop a
great real of history that has long
been hidden, and will proye af in
tense interest tq the people of the
Statp Rv showing up some of the
transactions of the Radical regime
in Georgia. Avery large number of
wit neat es have been summoned and
the trial may consume several days.
Ammong them are a number of ex
ompioyees as well assume who are
now in with the road. The Governor
Comptroller General and Secretary
of State wid be witnesses, pJcmUj
with nqnerogs others who were con
nect pc} with the public affairs cf UuU
duy. The fight is likely to prove
the deceive ope Mween tho two
wings >f the Republican party, and
as tuch will be of interest. Both
parties are determined to see the
fight out. The counsel for the State
