TilK ELLIJAY COtIUKIJ. W. F.OOMBB. Liu to*. X. B—' -II g KLLIJAY, A., JUNK l. IHSO The Planets. Th* June moon filled on the 12th, and gave ns the rare treat of a total lunar eclipse. No ce le*tul phenomena is easier to uii ders'and. The earth passed l>e • ween the sun and the moon and obscured his light. On the morning of the 12th the conditions were favorable for a grand exhibition ot the darken ing power of the earth’s shadow. The moon was full, she was at her node, she was in pergee, or at her nearest point to the earth, and passed centrally through the earth’s shadow. The eclipse be gan. that is the dark shadow en tered upon the moon, at Oh. 26m., or 26m. after midnight. The total 4>U*e commenced at lh. 29m., and ended at 2h. 51m. The eclipse ended at 3li. 52in. On the 21st the moon is in conjunc tion with Mars and Saturn. On the morning of the 22d the heav ens will present a supei b picture made up of the waning moon, tbe bright planets, Venus and Jupiter. Between 5. o’clock on the feiormng of the 21st and two o’clock in the afternoon of the 22d the moon is in conjunction with five plauets, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter aud Venus. It will readily be seen that June is full of promise for star gazers. The planets that cluster around the wetting sun, and more recently hovered around the ris nig sun, are now receding from him and forming combinations ol exquisite beauty. The lovely summer morniug sky beams with the rapid movements of these sbiniug wanderers. Saturn and Jupiter are bidding farewell to each other for twenty years, as distance on the celostial track widens between ilium. Venus passes them both in her rapid course, their varied movements causing two brilliant conjunc tions. The three planets are drawing near to Mars, and before the month closes, the planetary quartette will rise in the small hourshtint precede -the rlawn, ••*<! the observer who would see the show must bn at his post by 1 o’clock. —Providence Journal. The Canton correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution under date of June 10th says: Hearing was had to day belore Judge James R. Brown by Atherton & Stephens of the Talking Rock Colton Factory, upon an injunc tion tiled by Mr. Stephens, son of Dr. Stephens, deceased, the orig inal partner, praying that a lie ceiver he appointed to dose up the business of the factory. Mr. T. Atherton, as surviving part ner, claimed that he had the right to do this. The disputed point arose there and each procured counsel and sought a hearing be fore Judge Brown. R. J. McCa my, of Dalton, was Mr. T. Ather ton’s lawyer, while Mr J. E. Ste phens was represented by Messrs. T. F. Creer, of Ellijay, and I’aul Lester, of Cumming. Pending the decision of Judge Brown, who had asked fora few hours in which to consider the question and the law r , a settlement was agreed upon by the parties by which Mr. J. E. Stephens bought the half interest of Mr. T. Ath erton for SIO,OOO. Thus this suit was brought to an amicable set tlement.——Several cars of iron for our railroad have arrived, and will be laid upon the road bed in a short while. One hundred and fifty tons of this iron is to be de livered in Marietta by the 13th instant. Mr. J. B. Glovor, Treasurer of the Marietta and North Ga. Railroad company, came out to day for his first trip with his pay train, leaving money along the line. He scattered along the road in our county not less than about $3,000. The Constitution speaking of the Legislative committee ap pointed to look into the convict lesse system and report to the legislature, say 6 : The committee is not satisfied with the system as it is at present, and without hav ing special complaints to bring against any lessee, feel that jus tice cannot be done, and the dic tates of humanity followed under the system as it is. The commit tee will therefore unanimously report in favor of a penitentiary commission, to be composed of a i twver..* man and a physician, to be paid liberal sala ries aud selected from the very best men in the ,State*=a the railroad commission has been. The committee will insist mainly that this commission is essential, and many of the committee, probably a majority, will advo cate the appointment of a warden for each camp. This is tbe most thorough investigation of the camps ever made, and will prob ablv result in definite action. The Legislature will meet on the 6th instead of the 13th of Ju ly as published by us some time since. Pickens County Department. John W. llkniky, - - Editor. IN MiMJkIAM. After suflering a little more than two weeks, on the evening nl June 4th., sweetly fell asleep our much helovefl brother, llev. Isaac Padget. He was born Au gust 13th, 1812, aged sixty-eight years, nine months, twenty-one days; was a consistent member and a faithful minister of the Baptist church, having united with that church at the age of eighteen, and of whom it may be said in scriptural language, “An Israelite in whom there is no guile.” in all Ins sii/Teriiigs, not a murmuring word escaped hi* lipK. When hs heard the voice of Jesus calling him to come home, he bade adieu to this poor world and his spirit, resting on the arm of his blessed Master, was triumphantly borne to its home in Heaven, there to dwell forever more. Our dear brother leaves behind s devoted and loving wife and four c.iildren to mourn his loss But while they lose a husband aud a father Heaven gains a saint. No more, on earth, shall we hear that voice singing praises lo (lod, and declaring the glad ti dings oi Heaven to men, but our souls nre happy lo know lhere is homo in Heaven for the sainted above, and that—though, to day, that voice is silent, and that face is cold aud pals in death—with angel throngs and in Heaven's O" lt.O* M, wplrlft julbv*. “Asleep In Jesuit Ob, how sweet, To be for such s slumber meet. With holy Confldsuce lo s ng That death hath loot it* venomed sting." GOLD, WINK, WATER, &O. Work at Dr. Memmler’s gold mine goes bravely on. We learn that his prospects for success are flattering. The veins are growing richer and time and development only are wanting to exhibit the riches of the enterprise. In working two fissure veins that run North eust and South-west, and seemingly parallel, have been found to be converging and forming one largo vein that will abundantly supply his mill with rich ore. We hope the time is swiftly approaching when capi talists will visit our county and convince the people that Pickens is one of the best counties in Georgia Our mountains are full ot gold and iron. Our coves and valleys are as feitile as man could ask, we have the best pas ture lauds in all Uie world, and yet a man must be grinned at be cause lie lives in the mountains. Wo can grow anything we wish, corn, cotton, wheat,oats, potatoes and fruits of almost all sorts. On our mountain sides we could have the finest vineyards the world ever saw. We can produce wine at ten cents a gallon, and on laud that ia now useless, (f some of the wine growing countries own ed Pickens, every acre would yield its profit of a hundred dol lars and upward. We have some of the finest wa ter power ever known and yet it is no benefit to us because we are not able to utilize it. We can behold the rippling streams and singing brooks, we can admire tlie precipitous brooks and thun dering cataracts, we can gaze with delight on our picturesque mountains with their cloud-capt peaks, but this brings us no mon ey. We want others who have money and are prepared to truly enjoy tiie blessings of such a glo rious con utrv. The Marietta and North Ga. Railroad will have a tendency to bring about such a ■tale of affairs, hut even when this is completed there still re mains something for us to do. We must do something to induce men to come to our county who are able lo develop the hidden 1 riches of our mountains, erect manufacturing estabhehi'V'nts, cultivate our ncii moutain aid*-* grow wool and wine and thus give profitable employment to hun dreds of nn-ri who are now scarcely making support for then families, simply because they have no empty ment of profit. They labor but their labor is worth but little. They make corn but if they attempt lo carry it to market the profit is consumed in transportation, aud if they at tempt to distil it, so they can save transportation, they are hunted down like they were ravenous beasts. These things could all be bettered. We need an employ ment that will profit us, one we can follow aud no one shall dare molest or make us afraid. We need men who are able and wil ling to build up schools, to help us educate the people, and until this is done, our society will con tinue to be stained with iminor ality and crime. CROPS. WBXTHF.R, *<J. Corn crops are very good. The prospects for wheat are also flat tering. Some have already be gun liarvesting and if nothing occurs to prevent, next week will be a busy time indeed. The dry weather lias been quite favorable on farmers, but now the abun dant showers come and again the grass springs up and all the work is to be done over again and that quickly, too, or some man will experience trouble. Avery bard rain fell lieie on Wednesday, tbe Bili inst., and quite a number of our fishermen returned with the usuul fisherman’s luck, &c. us still snows fight. After accompanying her to singing on Sabbath, June sth, tbe Widower put on one of his charming smiles and begged so beseechingly that bis sweetheart agreed to go with him buggy ri ding. After getting ill the buggy and sitting himsell as perpendic ular as he well could without a pin mb line, he gracefully moved out of town Norl li ward, repeating poetry as follows : Uli I for * heart, a kindred heart, W ith mine to hear a part Of life’s tempestuous war aud fight; Then should my sorrow* grow more light, l’re fought the tight, hard aud long, Supported, sustained, by happy song; B/t hi age. apace creeps on I dud those joys aud pieaoures gone. 1-ke a lone Har iu evening late, • stayKtjswesjt'' r Hint my miaul vision Dow eoihroudi.
