MURPlirs OUTLOOK.
Wo see from that aggressive
journal, the Bulletin, of Morphy,
N. Cm that tliat town is commenc
ing to boom. A company baa ap
plied for a charter for a bank, tha
Western North Carolina railroad
and the M. A N. U. R. R. railroad
will both soon be in that place,
and a charter has boon granted fur
a real from Chattanooga to Mur
phy. There is money behind this
enterprise and Chattanooga is
poshing the rood with her capital.
The company asked SIOO,OOO sub
scription to the road from Cbatta*
neoga, which, we learn, the city
promptly made, and they only
ask $60,000 subscription from the
country along lb line and Mur
phy. This nominal amount from
the section traversed by the road
will no doubt be promptly met and
the road an assured fact.
That little town that has here
tofore been only Murphy, has
taken on new life and is making
a laudable effort to climb to the
proportions af a city. Real estate
has gone up enormously within
the put year, and large sales of
lands and minerals have been
lately effected, a man no longer
than last week having sold the
mineral interest only in some land
for $16,000, and on the whole the
outlook for Murphy’s future bris
tles with ominous signs.
In speaking of Murphy’s busi
ness future, Ihe prospect of North
Georgia becoming potent in the
wealth centers of tbe Stale inad
vertantly suggested itself. We
understand that Mr. Eager of the
Marietta and North Georgia, has
leased the Durktown Copper
mines for 20years, and will op
erate them so soon as a branch
road is constructed to that aban
doned mineral deposit. The con
tracts for crosstiea on this arm of
tbe main lino have been let out,
and 500 hands will be put to work
on it •• soon as tho inclement
weather wil) permit permanent
arrangements. This road will
■tart from Dickkey’s in Fannin
eouniy and will be some eight or
ten miles long. When this huge
mine is worked millions of money
will accrue to the operators.
We learn also that 500 bands
will be put on the extenuatiou of
tbe M. d* N. G. to hasteu the road
on to Murphy. When lira winter
fairly breaks that section will be
a scene of lively interest.
DASTAIIDL T MURDERS.
Last week a mania Dawson
and one in Habersham counties
were murdered, brutally and
without mercy. No provocation
in either case existed te mitigate
the crimes, except that they wert
accused of reporting some guilty
parties to the revenue officials for
violations of the internal revenue
laws. The fact that the perpetra
tors of these outrageous crimes
were already violators of law was
bad enough, but to override what
they considered a petty offense,
with a crime at the head of the
Met in atrocity, is indeed deplora
ble. In both instances the victims
were shot and then horribly beat
en. The custom of resisting the
officers of the revenue laws with
shot in ambush is the iclic of a
"past which We hoped would never
be resurrected. There was a time
in the history of this section when
seme men engaged in this illicit
traffic would scrapie to accom
plish any act however heinous,
and we hoped with the advance
ment of the times, the presence
of railroad*, the enlightened and
Christian civilisation of which we
boaet, this fosaii of barbarism
would fade before the march ol
progress and social reclamation.
We are pained to chronicle this
tragic and untimely affair, and wt
confidently hope and expect the
good people of our sister counties
will pursue to the bjlter end the
heartless perpetrators of these
atrocious crimes, and visit upon
them the severest punishment
kuown to the law. A revival ol
Ibis past unscrupulous course ol
men engaged in this business
would be a serious detriment and
a standing reproach to the fair
name of our rapidly advancing
seotion.

A WASTERS LETT AH
Olui, Oregon,
Jan. 8, 1867.
L)kab Cotataa: Ido not know ;
the fain of my last letter, as it re
quires so much time for a letter
to make the round trip from thi*
to that country; but lest the read
ers of the Couaiaa should forget
what 1 said, I will write again
As ( before staled agriculture was
scaicely (bought of uutil the last
lew years, although some few
settlers in the valley of the lower
riiUmath lake, have farmed suc
cessfully for ten or fifteen years,
making from twenty to sixty
bushels of wheat per acre. This
lake is about twenty miles long
and ten wide. The valley of thi*
lake has about seventy five thou
sand acres of arable land and a
bout eighty thousand acres of
grazing land. Three years ago
there were not a dozen settlers in
this valley; now almost every
hundred and sixty acres has a
home and a farm started. The
yield of grain in this valley last
season was thirty or forty thou
sand bushels. This is the wealth
iest valley in the county, and as
yet produces the principal part ol
the grain raised in the county.
The soil is a sandy loam, from
one to four feel deep. Now, in
order that tne reader may appre
ciate the productiveness of this
1 will give the mode of farming.
The best farmers plow their land
every second year putting in their
grain with a disc harrow, with a
seeder attached. They plow with
from sixteen to twenty inch plows
plowing from two to five acres
per day; so that one hand with a
four-horse team can cultivate two
hundred acres of land. From this
you see the meagre cultivation
die land receives; and with more
(borough cultivation the yield
would certainly be immense.
This valley is, in its natural stale,
covered with sedge brush, re
sembling somewhat the garden
sedge. It costs about two dollars
per acre to clear the land.
The valley next in importance
is List River valley, which has
about ninety thousand acres of
arable land and one hundred
thousand acres of grazing, or
meadow land. All that has been
said of the other valley might be
said of this, except that it is uol
quite so thickly settled, and the
farms smaller and the grain hiss
mostly been cut for hay. The
grandest feature of this valley is
the irrigating facilities it has. A
large ditch leads out from the Big
Thlamath lake that has a sufficient
elevation and supply of water to
irrigate almost the entire valley;
and it has been demonstrated that
the land with irrigation will pro
duce twice as much hay as it will
without it. Since 1 have seen the
advantages of irrigation in the
west I often wonder why it is that
the farmers of North Georgia do
not utilize the adundant supply
of water they have in staying (he
power of draught* over their
farms and gardens. Tule lake
valley is at the north end of Tule
lake, and has twenty five thou
sand acres of arable land and fif
ty thousand acres grazing land.
This is, perhaps, the most beauti
ful valley county; it rises
gradually from Tule lake, giving
from almost any point in the val
lev a full view of thi* most beau
tiful lake which is about thirl v
miles long and sixteeu wide, sur
rounded, except on the north, by
high craggy points which lead
back into the lava beds where
Captaiu Jack with his sixty brays*
murdered Gen. Can by, and held
about one thousand soldiers at
bay for more thau a year* There
is no settlement on the west side
of this lake, and the raccoons
seem to have takeu full possession
more thau oue hundred haviug
been seen at once playing ou the
water’s edge; yet there is no tim
ber within several miles of the
of the lake. Tuis lake seems to
be the home of wild fowls, such
a* geese and ducks, which may be
seen by the thousands. Sports
men need not tire here for sport,
unless like Artemus Ward with
the Mormau widows, be declined
on account of the '‘muchness.”
On the north end of the lake, the
water is shallow, with large tu’e
grass ten or fifteen feet high that
falls over makiug a perfect ham
mock over the water, on which
the fowls make their oests during
May and June when the boys and
Indians ride in and gather bush
els of eggs in a few hours.
This lake is also the headquar
ters of the sucker or Oregon Buf
falo fish which are so uumerous
that when spawning time comes
they run up Lost river so thickly
that to catch them only a pitch
fork it used. The tine* are ben>
iuio a hook loriu, then we go out
it a •well boat, put ibe tnmk Uueu

Surveying the Route.
The Augusta and Chattanooga
ia one of the inuumersble causes
that will lead to the great Augus
ta boom which ia not far diatani.
The Directors of the road held a
meeting yesterday at the compa
ny’s office, on Reynolds etreel.
Engineer Stone submitted a sur
vey of tbe three proposed en
trances into the city —one along
the banka of the Savannah ; an
other via Rae’t Creek and then
through the property of the land
company. Another proposed
route is via (he Sand Hills, cross
ing the Georgia railroad track.
The coat of either of these
routes will be about ihe same.
The route by which the most ad
vantage* are offered will be adop
ted. The distance and cost being
the same, it now remains with tbe
partis* interested to briog tbe
road their way.
The engineering corps has been
instructed to proceed witL the
survey from Danburg, in Wilkes
county, to Harmony Grove, in
Banks county, immediately.
A Chronicle reporter, meeting
a prominent Director, asked what
it all meant, and asked if they
had decided that it was not prac
ticable to go to Washington.
“That is about the size of it,”
answered tbe Director. ‘'The
route we have decided ou is Dan
burg to Harmony Grove.”
In addition to the force that has
Dean working towards Wilkes
county by Messrs. Lowe A Cos.,
a force will be put to work from
this end of the line the first ol
next week.—Augusta Chronicle.
ONE ON THE HUNDREQ.
Dear Courier:
I notice in a recent issue you
were inquiring for cot respond
ents, and as I have been an oc
casional correspondent, I corres
pond when tax ia one dollar on
the hundred.
The election being over, and 1
hope the excitement with it when
lax is one dollar on Ihe hundred.
From what I have heard a great
amount of money was expended
by the candidates when tax is
one dollar on the hundred.
It is strange that Ihe men who
want lo adminiater to lira people
as couuly officers would buy
liquor and give it'to men to
make them drunk for the sake
of their votes, when tax ia one
dollar on the hundred.
I notice that the grand jury at
the last term oi the court said,
‘‘We have examined the records
as best we could with the lime
allotted us and find them cor
rectly kept ;” this was when tax
was one dollar on the hundred.
I wonder why if the graud jury
did not have time to make a full
and complete examination that
they did uot appoiut a committee
to examine in vacation and‘re
port at next term of the court,
when tax was one dollar on the
huudred f
lam like the fellow in hia
prayer who did not want to dic
tate —would only like to make
some suggestious. So 1 will sug
geat to the next grand jury that
they, for the satisfaction of offi
cers aud all the tax-payers,
nxaku -or have made a full,
complete and thorough examina
tion and published, so that all
may know when tax is one doK
lar on the hundred. 1 would
like to know the amount of tax
able property giveu in and the
amouut of taxes collected in this
county when tax is one dollar on
the hundred. I will close by
asking von to tell me if the state
levies three-tenths of one per
ceui, what the county levies
when lax is oue dollar on the
huudred? or in other words it
the county levies seven-tenih* ol
one per cent, what does the
state levy when tax is one dol
lar oa the hundred, and ougln
the people of Gilmer county to
be satisfied under all circum
stances when lax is one dollar on
tbe hundred ?

desire to impart such information; hence
1 give the following tacts to the nubile:
Mr*. M. M. Prince, living nt 38 West
Fuir 8t„ Atlanta, Ga., has been troubled
(or several months with an ugly form of
catarrh, attended with a copioua aud of
fensive discharge from both nostrils.
Her system bocame ae affected and re
duced that she wag confined to bed at
my house for a time,and received tbe at
tention of three phvsiciaus; and used a
dozen bottles of an extensively advertis
ed blood remedy, without the least ben
edt.
She finally commenced tbe use of B. B.
8., with a decided improvement at once,
and when ten bottles nad been used, she
was entirely cured of all symptoms ol
catarrh.
It gave ber appetite, and increased her
strength rapidly, and I cheerfully re
commended it as a quick and cheap
tonic and Bleod Purifier.

I have been using B. B. 11. for six or

great, characterittic, predominating leat
ure. It ia our highest ambition to make a
good paper—not merely for the young,
ut also tor all people, the old and the
middle-agdd aa well as tbe Young.
As w* hare laid before, we leave noth
ing in ear power undone for the gratifica
tion and instruction of our tabscribers.
Tbe Ledger is always a live paper, keep
ing pace with the geniua and spirit of
American progress.
In addition to the stories, miscellane
ous articles by eminent scholars and di
vine* will be continued ; so will our ac
curate scientific department
We eball reply, as heretofore, to the
innumerable questions sent to us on love
and domestic affairs, and every variety of
subject.

tinue to be Ibe Great Family Paper, full
of good and interesting reading.

something in it—something to amuse, to
entertain, to instruct—the best and truest
