Mr. Editor: I note in your last, issue a commit, ideation signed G. W. 0. M. He is very much opposed to ilio repeal ot the homestead and relief laws, be cause it would open up that curse oi the human family, the credit system Does he intend to say that the home stead and relief laws have done away with the credit system l When, 1 ask, in all the history of the*country has there ever been more reckless trading on the credit system than since the enactment of the homestead aud relief laws ? When has there ever been so much extortion on one hand and betrayal of confidence on the other ? And why is this ? It is because those laws were not intended for honest men, but lor such as feel no moral obligat.on to pay their debts. A strictly conscientious nutn will not contract debts which be lias no reasonable probability ol paying and in event of failure cheerfully lets his property go to sayisfy his creditors. Therefore, it is very easy to see that those laws were never intended for the good of the community at large but to favor that class of people who arc ever ready to betray that confi dence which by fair nromises they but too oiten succeed in having plac ed in them. Now is it s)range that when there is a refuge made especi ally f..i this class of persons that ev ery man should look With distrust upon his neighbor, and it' lie gives credit at all it will be at ruinous rates. And yet this is the condition of affairs which steins to suit Mr. G. W. C. M.’s peculiar relish. He does not want any laws to compel those hu man vamphes who are sucking the lite blood of every person whom they can lull to sleep with their fair prom ises, to pay their just debts. 1. say away with all your unjust one sided laws which are made to oppress the honest aud to screen the design ing, who aro try ng to get their neighbor’s broperty without compen sation. Dr. Sin Hammers. BSadictil State Convention. Macon Telegraph & Messenger. The Radical State Convention was held in Macon, on Wednesday, 17th inst. Jesse A. Glenn, Esq., (white) ot Dalton, was elected temporary chair man, and confirmed also as the per manent presiding officer of the con vention. Mr: Glenn did his best to discharge the difficult task imposed upon him, and succeeded ns well as any other man could under the circumstances'. Bat it would liavo been as easy to manage one of Sitting Bull’s council dances as to control that piebald as semblage. The number of delegates was not large, and the proceedings were all manipulated by the handful of white Radical ring masters who were for the most part Federal office-holders, or those in quest of the loaves and fishes. The big guns were Bon Conly, Markham, Bryant, Hargrove and Sam Gove. Anioug the lesser pale skinned lu minaries, appeared S. Wise Parker, Fitzpatrick, Postmaster Glover, Mr. Bond, Duncan Jordan and divers other postmasters who dared not stay away. BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, G A., AUGUST 25, 1373, It was a sorry sight to sec this sprinkling of Anglo Saxons suiting to influence tire credulous negroes for solely selfish purposes to align themselves against their best friends and employers, and in behalf of a Government which lias robbed black and white and brought the country to the verge of bankruptcy, but we shall waste no words upon them. Jeff .Tong was the head centre ol his color, though Dovcaux, Harrison and several other sharp halt breeds and darkies were on hand. The crowd, taowever, was inky black, awfully ignorant and very sleepy headed. Same of the scenes were racy be. yond description, and it was ovi lei* ih.it a hundred antagonisms aud feuds were at work among them. After much ado, as related in the report. Jonathan Norcross was nom inated for Governor by a vote of three ayes and one negative voice. This was all the enthusiasm that could be evoked on the gubernatorial question. One feature of the platform which was presented denounced the call cl' a constitutional convention, Dut to. our great surprise, Post master Hargrove, of Rome, moved to strike out that clause, and followed; up ids objections in a forcible spo* eh When the vote came to bo taken j the majority in opposition to a Con-1 stitmional Convention was only seven. I This will surprise our Atlant ; friends who counted upon the .Uadi-1 cal vote solid on that issue. Asa QUI TrudUiosi i .ItfaSiosa::!. There an old triuli! ion c f if a • j hornet that lie was once standing un-j der a paint tree and teaching his 10l- i lowers, saying : ‘’He who Codies Iho naked shall j be clothed by God with the green robes of Paradise. If a good nun j op.es with iris right bund and con-j coals it from his left he overcomes all things.’’ While he said these words a man drew near and cried: “Oil, Prophet, my mother, Sad, is dead; what is the best aim I can give away for her soul ?” Mahomet bethought him of the panting heats of the desert, and said: “Dig a well for her and give water to the thirsty.” Tile man dug a well, and said: “This is for ray mother.” I do not know whether Mr. John Buskin ever mot with this old story, but he has just performed a kind and gentle action which has reminded me of it. A litde way from Croydon, near London, there has been a diriy, marshy litde pond, which is now an exquisitely clear spring of running water. Mr. Ruskin has ex pended live hundred pounds in mak ing this spring, winch is not far from the home of his childhood, and sur rounded it with trees and flowers and named it, afscr his mother, Mar-, garet’s Well. On the neat tablet over it are inscribed the following words: “In obedience to the Giver of Life, of brooks and fruits that feed it, ol the peace that ends it, may this well be kept, sacred for the service of men, llocks and flowers, and by kindness be called Margaret's Wed. ' — Conway's Letter. The Radical Convention fo: the Ist District of Georgia,met in Snamwn, and nominated J. E. Bn am lbr Con gres-t. The Savannah News says that his nominati m widens the split in the party, as many of the Custom House ring who supported him in the last election, utterly refuse to do so now. Dablonega Mountain Signal (iif.fi> SIE.'fIOM iyj {/iEOStGJA. We boldly venture the assertion, that if a fair aud honest exhibit, of every mming section of the continent were made, giving actual outlays and yoiid, that none can show u larg er percentage upon tlio capital atul labor employed than is being made here at iime, and that none can show a o,dter exhibit in the way of | healthful Jm 1 legitims to mining than exists hero. While we do not pre tend to compare daily and monthly I yields with the world-renown Com stock ‘■Consolidated Virginia,” and “California,” with their investment of hundred of millions and the vast sums expended in their development, wo do contend the actual profits here wili show as large a percentage upon the capital employed as at any one of them. The mills throughout this section run with their accustomed regulari ty, and the increase of veil !.-; each | successive week is a noticeable and .significant fact. Tito DENNING MINE, with its heavy It) stump iniH, since it commenced running on ore from the new cut, has steadily improved, and the quantity and quality ot the on, improves as the cut penetrates the j body of the hil>, and reveals mass- - j of pay ore apparently inexhausiiblc, j which mast, with their perfect sys-; tern for rapidly and cheaply handling , these masses, insure them a long and successful ran. THIt HAND MINE. What- we have said ot the Uennin.; mine applies to the Hand, with i; - •1 pton-.-y VO- t.t •.•.•(•]> mill, as tin® ■ i properties are adj ining, each hav ing their new cuts extend ng i to the same hill, and cutting the satuc veins at different points. THE I’INdLLY MINE, with ifs 24 stamp nnll and b t per fect arrangements for miui.fg and mining is again running to its fattest \ ! capacity day and night on a very tine ; ! quality of ore. The imm vise cave <,s j | i‘ c sally acres of: bits; and w. sic mat | ter was tin dly removed last Week, and tticir cut is now la splendid or der, perfectly secure against a simi lar casualty. The masses of ore un covered aud in tight in their cut. i literally incomputable. The lowest estimate places tlio amount at quite a sufliyiflnoy to keep the mill running at the njte of one hundred tons a day (which b the utmost capacity of the mill) foij twelve months running con stantly (or that length of time. Reside the ore in this cut, ar rangements arc about completed to I get ore vain the “Big Sand Vein;”.a | vein fut/>us both for its size (being from *25 to 30 feet in width) and its quality. Fiom these sources alone, to say ijoiiiing of other valuable devel opments being made on the propdriv, . it is very sale to say tiioy have work enough in sight to employ them for many years to come. , The tirm-l to the famous Findley vein on tbs property ns also complet ed. This tunnel was commenced in 1858, tostrike the vein about 200 feetbekw the surface, and had to be | aboniicitod in consequence of foul air land imierous other obstacles, and | was i'i o at and several times at remote period', tau not completed until the propely f. 11 into toe bauds of the i presets, energetic proprietors. The tunne is between lour and five hun dred :et m length, and its opening and orineetion with the Findley shaft idmits it free current of fresh air, iliich drives out the foul air and NUMBER 47. renders work in the holt perfectly sure. The shaft was run down as far as it could be on account of foul air, from which more than SIOO,OOO was taken out, and when abandoned was still very rich. In a short time they expect to clean out tlio old shaft, aud in all probability will find the vein as rich as ever. TIIE I.AWREXCE MINE still maintains its high character. For two or three weeks past tiioy have been drifting Col. Moore’s old works, but on Tuesday night they struck now work and are getting out a splendid lot of ore that shows gold beantifilly. This mill has-been run ning regularly ever since, and their plates shows that their “dean vp" tliia week wiil be quite equal to any former since they started. TIIE PIGEON ROOST MILL continues to run upon a fine lot of ore from the Moore vein, and their ycild comes fully up to the expecta tion of the proprietors. Wo under stand the company contemplate en larging their mill and running i; with steam, us'ngall their water for mining purposes, which will very greatly increase their yield. WHITE and WEAVER'S M 11.1., on Bragg branch, lias not lost one hour's work since it started. They made their first shipment of gold la.-t week, which was entirety satisfacto ry to the proprietors, and proves our prediction, that it would be a a good paying mine to be true. Tuey have at least six months’ sup ply of ore ahead. jack huff's mill, on Cane crook made a splendid run last m >uUi, The mine is in tine con iieon. yfuhinig an abundant supply of good ore sufucifciitty to keep the mill going steady for some liiue to come.

THE JONES VEIN. Last week the tunnel to strike the Jones.vcin on a level with the bot tom of the shaft was finished,and the vain found to bo even better than it was above.

In this panful wo saw three specimens, each about the size of a paitridge egg, that we con fident wore at least two thirds gold. The work of re-opening the Holy Field vein still progresses, though necessarily very slowly on account of the hardness of tho rock. With ail the hands that can get at it, they can only blast about six inches a day, am! ns they have about seven feet to go before they expect to strike it, it will be toward the lust of the month before they can get down to tho vein. There are other operations wo wished to have noticed, but as this report is so extended we wiil defer notice of them until another time. GERMAN, POLISH AHD HUN GA IT AN BEAUTIES. German girls arc often charming ly pretty, with dazzling complexion, abundant, beautiful hair, and clear, lovely eyes, but the splendid matron, the sound, healthy, well developed woman, who nas lost no grain of beauty, and gained a certain magnifi cent maturity, such as we see daily with daughters who might well be her younger sisters —of such women the Fatherland has few specimens to show. The Polish ladies have a special, vivid, delicate, spirited, haunting loveliness, with grace, dis tinction, and elegance in their limbs and features that is all their own; you cannot call them fragile, but they aro of so lino a fibre and so del ineate a coloring that they only just escape that appellation. Hungarian women are of a more robust and substantial build, with dark hair and complexion, fine, flashing eyes, and pronounced type; and who that re member the women ofLintz and Vien na will refuse them a first prize ? They have the most delicate articu lated joints of any people in tho world. Tho junction of hand and wrist, of foot and ankle, oi the neck with the back and shoulders, is what our neighbor would call “adorable.” But, atlas, that it should be sc; tho full, gracious figure—types at once of strength and elegance—the sup ple, slender waists, the dainty little wrists and hands, become all too soon hopelessly flat from persistent idleness and luxury of the ncverloss, unoccupied lives of these graceful la-' dies. Tlto following conversation re cently took place between two city darkies. “Lookliyar, Sam, kin you tell mo what makes red bugs bite del white lolks morn dey do niggers^” “I don’t ’zactly understand; how is it?•’ “Lon see, says Josh; “when a red bug gets on a white pusson Jie can see howto work and goes right to business, but when lie gets on a nigger, he thinks it is night and goes right straight ter sleep.
