CARTER 4VILLiB—CAPITOL OK WORTH
GEORGIA
It 10-iiel on the line of the Wes
tern * Atlantic tallroad a little more than
one-'hi and of th* distance from Atlanta toward
Chattanooga. It la the eastern terminus ot the
Cherokee railroad; it near the Etowah river
and centrally located. Considering the rich
ness of the sell for agricultural pursuits; con
sidering the richness and abundance of min
eral*, comprising Iron Ore, Manganese, Ba
ryta and Gold, and considering the mildness
of the climate, is the most de-irblo section of
the United States. Besides, no section of
Am rica furnishes more hospitable people.
They are not weathly, as a general thing, but
well to do. -
A feature in this connection, worthy of
special note Is the aimiability oi our young
ladies- They are remarkably intelligent, ns a
class, and have been trained, so that almost
any one in any familr cau supe. .tend house
hold affuirs as nsatly as the mothers who
t rained.
Our young men, although not numerous,
are. as a general thing, moral, intelligent
them.
Educational facilities are not ns good for
the poorer olasses as they should be, but there
U a dlspositio) to improve in this respect.
There is no fancy in the foregoing, nor is
there the slightest exageration. Property is
very low, and more inviting section as a
home cannot be found, we believe on earth.

IT COST TOO MICH: /
Secretary John Sherman had an
ovation cn his recent visit to Ohio.
He claimed,with all the egotism neo*
eggary to have done a most impor
tant work for the country in his
management of the government fi
nances. Many people praise Mr.
Sherman for extracting the sick
tooth, forgetting that he broke the
jaw bone, and that the entire head
of the common people Is very sick.
“Resumption” has cost too much.
Millions of people have been robbed
of their hard earnings that the bond
holders’ interest be maintained. We
are glad of a “stable currency,” but
deprecate the enormous sacrifices
thaV have been made to establish it
with in consistent spee I.
GORDON’S FORTY THOUSAND ACitES
We request the “Independent”
press of Georgia to go a little slow
in condemning Senator Gordon be
cause of liis apparent success io fi
nances as well as his real in -tate--
manship. This remark is to apply to
that sheep ranch of 40,000 acres. We
are glad to believe that Gen. Gor
don is a prudent man, economical
in his business, and that he is accu
mutating a fortune. It is stated,
however, that when he visited New
England a year or so ago (when
there was so complimentary an ova
tion given him in Boston) a gentle
tleman of large means, after a con
ference with him on the subject,
gave the General a large a sum of
money to invest for them both in
Gordon’s name.
GEOLOGY or GEORGIA.
In July the legislature will be
cal ed upon to say whether the Geo
logical Bureau shall be k pt up or
not. It has cost the people of the
State 810 000 a year for five years,
we believe. A map ot halt the
counties in th) Stale has b .en pie
pared, showing the location of every
bed of gold, copper, coal, etc., the
course of every stream, and the value
of every water power. In live ye.irs
more this work c n be completed.
Five yeais ago there weie only four
gold mills in the Slate, yieldii g $40,-
000 per year. Now ih re are 46
mills, producing $500,000 a year. In
the gold belt, 400,000 acres of
which couid have beeu bought five
years ago for $1,000,000, could be
sold now for $40,000,000.
The for. going we clip from an ex
change, and cop>y with the ardent
hope that the important f cts men
tioned will elicit public favor. The
er.tet prise must be sustained.
Will 11. Keruou, one of the edit
ors of the Okalona (Mis?.) S.ate-, a
paper which Ins become (in) famous
by its erratic sayings, came from
Ohio, and dec’ares in a letter to the
National View that it has never beeu
connected with any tut a democratic
press. Yet the ink is hardly dry be
fore we get a letter addressed to the
chairman of the republican commit
tee of Ohio, in which his scoundrel
ism is made so clear as to be enter
taining to his purchasers.
PAYING FOR PASSION.
Nashville Burner.
When we read the description of
the court scene at the conclusion of
the trial ofCapt. Cox for the killing
ot Col. Alston, it made our heart
bleed with sympathy for the poor
distracted woman. When the ver
diet was rendered she seemed to be
deranged with grief. Screams and
cries of despair filled the court-room,
and stern. Strong men, who had
just vindicated the majesty of the
law, found tears running down their
cheeks. But such is the inexorable
decree of justice. The sentence bears
hard upon the poor, innocent woman
and fatherless babes, to find their
protector and companion torn from
their arms to suffer the penalty, for
what? For simply giving a loose
rein to passion, and doing that which
ia forbid by the laws of God and
man. Society must protect itself, or
every man’s throat would be at the
mercy of the knife. Our times are
filled with outrageous murders. No
respect is felt for the divinity of life.
A slight misunderstanding and out
comes the pistol, and some poor wo
man is made a desolate widow, some
household has its charm broken for
ever. It bears hard on poor Mrs.
Cox, a woman of culture and refine
ment, full of love and affection, but
it also bears hard upon the wife of
Col. Alston, who awaited the coming
of her kind husband, who was never
more to give her a sw’eet kiss of love,
who would never more dangle the
little prattler upon his knee. We
congratulate Georgia on being a ole
in these dissolute times to do justice.
Would to God that Tennessee could
do the same. Until she ands, no ;
man’s life is safe for one moment.
As long as the hip pocket carries a'
threatening, deadly weapon, ever
ready to pounce upon its victim, so
long will law and order be bid defi
ance. That is the first move to make
society feel that the arms of law are
ever around him, ready to protect
him from the ruffian and assassin.
The South has gained a most unen
viable notoriety in butchery, and
this it is that has retarded our pro
gress, and until a salutary change
takes piace in this regard we may
expect to sleep on while the world
moves. In England a man would
not dare to be caught with concealed
weapons. He would not only be
punished severely by law, but lie
would be banished from society.
The first hanging in Alabama, un
der the new law requiring execution
to be private, occuired on the 28th of
last month, the culprit being Charles
Rush, colored, who killed his wife, 1
in April, 1877.
Beecher didn’t lecture in Chat
tanooga nor Atlanta. In Memphis
4000 seats were taken. His lecture
was well received.
MAJOR HARK 1. COOPER TO THE PRESS.
\Tijst tfar Venerable 3mb Said to ih Ger
-ia Prev AssoriatUc—Gnr Inroa
paraWf Resources.
Gentlemen and Members of the Convention of
tlie Associated Press of the State of Georgia:
It is with sincere and high gratification that. I
rise to address you on this occasion. Yon will
not doubt this when you know the fact that sixty
years of a life of seventy-nine have been spent
reading habitually the columns of your papers
and periodicals, and those of your predecessors.
It is due to truth for me here to state that,
much as the time so spent and money expended
may have amounted to, I have received more
than an equivalent in pleasure and good, real,
substantial and enduring.
One other fact allow me to state. It is this.
That during all these long years in which I have
spent so much and received so much, I have
never appropriated, or offered to appropriate,
one dime to procure or have published for me
one line of commendation. [Applause.]
The first of the facts here stated, was due to
your calling, not so much for the past as in hopes
for the future, that yon may ever present a bal
ance sheet in your favor.
Tiie second fact, I beg you to believe me, was
not stated egotistically, but to strengthen and
confirm a virtue, which in you is worthy of all
praise, to-wit: freedom of the press. A free
press is the world’s blessing. Free to print aud
publish truth as opposed to error. Truth in
manners, morals, religion and government, to
the end that sufiering and crime and misrule
may cease, and men, Women and children lie
made happy as their capacity for happiness, by
your kind offices, may expand.
On the other hand a licentious and venal press
is the bane of society and a curse to mankind.
[Applause.]
Hoping to be excused, gentlemen, for this brief
exordium, I proceed to call your attention to the
main topic towards which we are requested to
direct it, to-wit: to our county of Bartow, its
topography, climate, geology, minerals, and its
products of the forest and of agriculture.
Fellow-citizens, let me here premise a word
for you by saying, that much as you may confide
in him whom you have called here to speak for
you; implicitly as you may believe the state
meats lie may make, you are short of that testi
mony on which foreigners, capitalists and for
eign states most rely. You have a commission
er of agriculture and a state geologist. These
are government officers accredited abroad as
men of science, faithful and competent.' What
they report is by order of your government.
It is received as the highest authority, whilst the
testimony of an individual is taken with grains
of allowance. Therefore, for your own benefit
and that of the commonwealth of Georgia, I urge
you to preserve, keep and sustain your agricul
tural and geological departments.
Gentlemen, I am happy in the belief that all
join me in assurance of the gratification we feel
in the compliment paid us by the selection you
have made of our metropolis for your annual
convention. What I say for the people of Bartow,
I think I may not be assuming too much to say
for every county and all the people of Cherokee
Georgia. For it is believed that Bartow is not
the only choice and favored county in Cherokee,
but that there are other portions not second to
Bartow in that for which we may recommend
licr. Indeed, with a knowledge of almost every
part to pass judgment, I would have to call for
an answer after presenting a case or two.
Here is one:
“THE QUIET LIFE.
“ Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound;
< ontent to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
“Whose herds with milk,whose fields with bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire,
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.”
Now every one who comes to look at our coun
try is in search of a home. Is he a man who can
be happy in the case here made by the poet? If
so, we can furnish homes for a hundred such.
But we put another case of one who is longing
for
“THE MEANS TO OBTAIN A HAPPY LIFE.”
Lord Surry said:
“ Those that do attain
The happy life be these, I find—
The riches left, not got with pain;
The fruitful ground, the quiet mind.
“ The equal friend, no grudge, no strife;
No change of rules, no governance;
Without disease, the healthful life,
The household of continuance.
“ The faithful wife, without debate;
Such sleeps as may beguile the night,
Contented with their own estate,
Ne’ wish for death, ne’ fear his might.”
We present one more case. That of a person,
who, being weary of the city, is
“HOMESICK FOR TIIE COUNTRY.”
He says this:
“ I’d kind o’ like to have a cot
Fixed on sonic sunny slope; a spot
Five acres more or less,
With maples, cedars, cherry trees,
And poplars whitening in the breeze,
’Twould suit my taste, I guess.
“ To have the porch with vines o’erlmng,
With bells of pendant woodbine swung,
In every bcdl a bee;
And ’round my latticed window
A clump of roses, white and red,
To solace mine and me.
“ I kind o’ think I should desire
To hear around the lawn a choir
Of wood-birds singing sweet;
And in a dell I’d have a brook
Where I could sit and read my book,
Such should be my retreat.
“ Far from the city’s crowd and noise,
There would I rear the girls and boys,
(1 have some two or three,)
And if kind Heaven should bless my store,
With five, or six, or seven more,
How happy I would be.”
[Laughter and applause.]
If there be one such as this seeking a home, he
and one hundred more can find it here.
It may be said that those are pictures; so they
are. Life is a gallery with pictures hung
throughout. It is good for us to look at them in
the morning before we become a part, and before
night shall come when no man seetli.
We may be asked, “What sort of a land is it
that can produce such pleasure?” We answer,
it is here in Bartow; it is found throughout all
Cherokee Georgia, not excepting Towns county
and the “state of Dade.”
Mountain ranges and hill tops, without the
rigor of winter ice and snow. Between the hills
and mountain ranges, rich valleys producing all
agricultural products. From the hills and moun
tains, gushing streams of purest water wherever
needed - running in brooks, rivulets and rivers
through every valley, to drive machinery, water
everything, and slake the thirst of man and
beast, without the need of ice in summer and
unclogged by ice in winter. Pure air at all
times. No poisonous miasma in the valleys. No
cholera; no fever and ague; no chills and fever;
no bilious or yellow fever. No hurricanes, si
moons or cyclones. Barred by our eternal hills,
these seek another latitude, or are driven around
our southern flank.
These mountains, hills and valleys are clothed
or crowned everywhere with a forest of all vari
eties of timber trees and shrubbery, useful and
ornamental. Beneath and in the midst you find
the ivy, the rhododendron, whilst you gaze on
the flowing petals of the “old man’s beard” and
the snow white blossom of the magnolia, grand
de flora, and inhale the sweet odors of the
wild crab, the woodbine, the azalia and the jes
samine.
Here, then, is a land in which to realize the
day dreams of the poet and satisfy the longings of
those who are “Homesick for the country.” [Ap
plause.]
Turn your eyes east. See the top of Mt. An
thony. Go and stand with us there, five miles
from this city. By your side, as you face the
south, is the long-leaf pine, the prince of our
southern forest—woman's best friend; the buil
der's material; the teams for a forest of masts
on the ocean; and the preservative of the "vessel’s
hull. From that mountain top where you stand,
you see this pine everywhere to the ocean, wav
ing Us princely top and breathing its melancholy
sighing in the breeze.
Pardon me. gentlemen, for a historic reminis
cence here.
On the top of the mountain whereon you stand,
waved the first secession flag that was reared in
what was afterwards called the Southern Con
federacy. John Frederick Cooper planted and
reared it. [Applause.]
Turn your face north. You may now see the
white pine and the fir tree of the north. They
seem on this sacred spot to embrace the long
leafed pine of the south. Yet neither invades
the territory of the other. North of the spot
where you stand, to a hue, no long-leaf pine
is found, and south of it the white pine and the
fir do not grow.
Would that the men of the north aud of th
south could thus have embraced each other
pewetalljr and quietly—heeding the fiat of polite
iral power as these trees heed that of the Crea
tor. "Thus far shaft thou go, and no farther.”
But, gentlemen, you may ask, “What more
have you to say of this country?” I answer,
much; since the half has not been told. I am
invited to -peak to you of what lie- beneath the
surface of the soil.
Bartow county, Georgia, is a mineral region,
rich and abundant in its resources, striking and
peculiar, and. perhaps, without a parallel in its
formation and variety of products.
The Etowah river, with its tributaries, has its
in this region of Georgia through Bartow.
This is the great line of minerals on the eastern
slope of the Blue Ridge through the United
States to Mexico. The prominent minerals found
are goM, copper, iron anil oxide of manganese.
Coming south are precious stones, galena, plum
bago, etc.
At Etowah, in Bartow county, this river runs
against aud between the terminating hills of the
Blue Ridge. This occurs at the point where
that mountain's southern terminus falls into
what geologists call the transition region.
Here, too, the various veins and deposits of
these ores, coming together, are concentrated
in a narrow pass. This locality is within six
miles of Cartersville. Here is the place where
the test and most satisfactory demonstration lias
been made of the quantity and quality of these
ores of iron and the oxide of manganese, for the
purposes of good iron and steel. The proofs are
ample and have teen furnished by a citizen of
Bartow county, during a practical operation in
the iron business of over thirty years.
More than twenty years ago,by a combination of
brown hematite, black oxide and specular iron
ores of Etowah, which contained a small per
centage of oxide of manganese, we made pig
metal, a ton of which, by our friends Brady and
Solomon, then of Atlanta, we shipped to England
to be tested for all uses to which it might be suit
ed. It was so tested for casting, for bar iron, for
steel (blistered and cast), for files, for scissors and
I for razors.
A report thereon was furnished by the manu
facturer saying that it was equal to the test
English iron for these purposes, aud that it was
specially adapted to cutlery. Samples of the
products were sent to us.
Here is one—a razor. Here is another—a file.
This was broken to show the texture of the metal.
The report, with samples of the razors and other
products, were laid before the Georgia legisla
ture, more than twenty years ago, and a sample
of the razors presented to a senator aud a repre
sentative from every judicial district in Georgia.
This, gentlemen, is history, and its record is
among the archives of state.
Who now knows it? Where is the citizen of
Bartow who knows it? or the citizen of Carters
ville who remembers it? Is there a man in
Georgia who has one of those razors? We would
thank him for his name.
Another proof of the quality of the Bartow
iron, to-wit: Thirty years ago or more, a sample
was sent to the war department to be tested for
the purpose of gunnery and reported on. It was
tested, and the report to congress was that it was
well suited to the purpose, and equal to the Salis
bury iron of Connecticut then used by them.
Another proof. Our merchants are familiar
with the mark of “Field’s tacks,” which held
the market for many years. To make tacks
which took the market of the United States, re
quired the best iron. Mr. Field lived in Taunton,
Massachusetts. To find a market for the best
iron, after sending to him a sample of our best to
try, we went to see him at Taunton. He told us it
was good enough; that for lack of the test iron
he had to buy the Russia iron, aud that ours would
take its place.
We might multiply proofs, but will stop with
one more. Twenty years ago, knowing that Mr.
Samuel Colt, of Hartford, Connecticut, needed
superior iron to make steel for his armory, after
sending him a sample ton of our best Etowah
iron to test, we went to his armory to see him.
He said he had tested it and that it was good
enough for his purposes. He then presented me
with the case before me, with one of his navy re
volvers, an extra barrel and all the accoutre
ments made of steel produced from the Etowali
iron. We thereupon, without difficulty, closed
a negotiation by which he agreed to come to
Georgia with his machinery and establish a
branch of his armory at Etowah. Whilst prepar
ing to ship his machinery, the affair at Fort
Sumter transpired, and liis government stopped
him. This pistol was exhibited to the legislature
of Georgia at Milledgeville before the war.
Nov.", if a case can be found of a man of pur
pose, of will and of enterprise, with money, who
wants to make the best of iron, and anything
that good iron is made of, here is a place for him
and thousands of operatives, and for his and their
posterity. Here he will find kindness, safety
and brotherly love.
Fellow-citizens, my mission is ended.
Gentlemen of the associated press, I am made
happy by this opportunity to speak to you for
myself aud in behalf of my fellow-citizens of
Bartow county. Since I first visited a “sanctum”
we have had many ebbs and flows. But
“ These struggling tides of life, that seem
In wayward, aimless course to tend,
Are eddies in the mighty stream
That rolls to its appointed end.”
Thus, gentlemen, wrote one of the most gifted
and distinguished of your fraternity. He was a
poet, a scholar and a good man— William Cul
len Bryant. [Applause.]
Yours is a benign, noble, grand and sublime
calling. Benign, as the cherisher of the test af
fections of the heart; noble, as the dispenser of
good to man; grand, as the defender of truth
against error; and sublime, in lifting our thoughts
to Heaven, the home of the soul and the dwelling
place, of God. [Applause.]
“No man liveth to himself.” The
Georgia preacher is now dead who
used to say “no man can go to heav
en in a sulky.”
