Dear Euro* .:—-In the last issue of |
jour paper, ter saw a cnlcukii.on of the
probable yield of wheat, on a garden
spot, iu CartersviUe, owned by N. Gil
reuth.
We have noticed that patch our
selves, an ( hope that your calculation I
is far below the mark. If it is correct,
ari l only fifty bushels be made to the
acre, “Beat-ftl!” seed and N. Gilreatli
will have to 1 nyer their colors, in the
approaching contest.
He, with a party of gea<ile*>er», con
sisting of Mtj. Bonham, Col. R. L.
ftogei'3, Oapt. J. l'\ Lfeuk and Cupl.
Cb oiee, visited Dr. Leland’s pet acre,
which he had sown with Mediterra
nean Bearded Wheat.
Hh found the patch filled with
bunches of wheat stalks, each grown
from a single seed which had 38 stalks
and an average of 35 grains to e ach
head. Paper and pencil were produc
ed, and the calculation made, proving
that each grain would produce 1330
grains. But the Committee, fearing
that some few bunches, might not
come up to the average, and also ti k
iug into consideration the waste at
tending harvesting, and threshing, and
wishing to be on the safc.sids, agreed
to strike off the odd 33J grains, and
calculate the yield of the acre, at just
1000 bushels, even.
But one of the Coimnitt ;e, hajipon
ing to rub out some of the seed, with
his hands, discovered that the grains
were half as large again os the “Beat
all,” and'other varieties, therefore, the
yield would have to be calculated at
1500 bushels.
Dr. Belaud, who was present, and
is well known as a modest man, who
always owns up to having a poor farm,
(that is, to a farm that generally don’t
produce 50 bushels to the acre,) at
this point became alarmed, at tho as
tonishing calculated yield; and fearing
that, right in the busy season ho would
have to pull down his barns, and build
greater, invited the Committee to
come from out of tho sun, and try
and keep cool. Yours kc,
Wo must confess that we were
mistaken about the yield of Wheat on
the “garden spot,” alluded to by cur
worthy correspondent. After it was
threshed, cleaned and measured up,
on the one and a half acres of land, it
was found that it had only turned cut,
all told, thirty-seven and a half bush
els of wheat of the first equality.
We are not a farmer—rawer was,
but find it a very easy matter to over
estimate growing crops. We have
long heard talk of good wheat anti
good wheat lauds—about their big
yi< Ids— 30, 40, 50, and even ns high as
GO bushels to the acre, but we are
viwh inclined to the opinion that the
acres that will produce over 30 bush
els, are net very broad, in this, or any
other country. It is said by old and
good Wheat grov e s, I at no year has
the crop of Wheat in Bartow county
exceeded an average of more than
seven bushels per acre, and we have no
better w heat lands, in Georgia, than is
found in Bartow' county. The public
are not much concerned about what
this or that highly fertilized spot of
land will produce, but what will a sec
tion or body of land arcragc. Colonel
Lewis Tutulin, of this county, lias some
as good wheat as we ever saw grow'
on any lard, and we put down the
figure on that at 30 bushels per acre
ps the top notch. Mr. Gilreatlr’s
“patch,” it is thought by competent
judges, would have produced 45 bush
els, had it not fallen down, and been
properly matured. As it is, 28 bush
els pays very well
A Chums on Ccafokt.—We will say,
for the consolation of those of our
readers, who seem to be so much ex
ercised about the quantity of wheat,
we stated that Col. Lewis Tumlin
would likely realize on fifty acres of
land, ar.d that Nelson Gilreatli would
make on his acre and a half, that the
10.000 bushels destroyed by the
late freshet in Bumpkinvine crock, will
more than over come the surphfs that
both the above gentlemen will probably
have over and above home consump
tion, with which to dog the market
and bring down the price.
Hay* From fill accounts the Wheat Crop of
this section is not out as well as was
anticipated. Mr, Joseph Wilson's crop only
measured tip five Jwisliels pet- acre, and it in
said to be ah average crop on Nit nee's Crock.
The finality is very go.od liiit 'the yield very
email.
Atlanta.
Neither competition nor ti e merci
less torch of an invading army, ha:
been able to keep Atlanta from fulfil
iug a grand destiny. From the deso
lation and ashes that were bequeathe<
her as the parting gift of tho advam
iug Bherman, she has risen Pheeni
like, by the energy, industry and en
terprise of her inhabitants. It is won
derful to realise her early triumph.—
years ago we walked in sullen
sadness among her labarynthsof ruins :
anti mourned the fate of our once i
beautiful and prosperous inland City. ,
dazing ou the gloomy spectacle, we ;
little dreamed that she would spring,
is if by magic, to her present propor- J
tions and prosperity. It seems as if
the very ruin that was wrought, gave
birth to energies that not only restor
ed but made the star of her destiny
more brilliant. YVe understand that
her population is at present at least
| thirty thousand and we venture to pre
; diet that in five years it will equal if
i not exceed fifty thousand. It is im
j posable for a true Georgian not to feel
proud of Atlanta as she is, and bid her
God speed in her future advancement

Special attention is invited to the
advertisment of this old and reliable

vorably known in the South as to ren- j
dcr words of commendation urmeceu-;

they are now selling articles in their
line of business at a less rate than the
i
same can be had in any other house in

who may not have patronized Messrs.

to their interest to do so in the future.
By reference to their advertisement
some idea of the extent of their stock
may be formed. They have a superi

this is the kind of liquor for every
man to drink who drinks anything
stronger than water We know this

Great Freshet in Pumpkinvine Creek.
Last week this creek wt shigherthan
it has ever been known to bo before
>
by the oldest citizens of this county.—
4Vo are told that in the neighborhood
of Dallas, Paulding county, the head
waters of the creek, it rained for seven
hours in torrents without intermission.
The waters swept away, indiscriminate
ly, very nearly everything along its
banks. It is supposed that not less
than 10,000 bushels of wheat was de
stroyed, together with fences, mill-dams,
bridges, hay, &c. Our friends, Talton
F. Moore andEmsley Stegall, weleanq
sustain a loss of about SIOOO each in
wheat, v liile Maj. NVm. Milner, David
Quarles, and many others suffered se
verely.
To Prevent Flies from Teasing
Horse-s.— Take two or three handfuls
of Walnut leaves, and upon them
pour three or four quarts of soft cold
water. Let it infuse one night, then
pour the whole next morning into a
kettle, and let it boil for a quarter of
an hour. When cold it will be fit for
use. Moisten a sponge or rag and
moisten the ears, neck, head, &c., of
the horse. The horse w’ill not be troub
led with flies. ,
A Bedbug Antidote.—A lady who
has tried this simple method of extir
pating the repulsive bedbug, is kind
enough to give a public profession of
faith in its efficacy through the col
umns of a newspaper:
“If any of your readers need a sure
remedy for bedbugs they can have
mine aud cleanse the house of this
troublesome vermin without expense.
They have only to wash with salt wa
tei filling the cracks where they fre
quent with salt and you may look in
vain for them. Salt seems inimical to
bedbugs, and they will not trail
through it. I think it preferable to
all ointments and tire buyers require
no certificates as to its genuiness.
New Wheat.
The first new wheat of the season
was sold in this market on the lDth

This price will be paid for wheat de
livered any time this week.

The Barbecue.
The people of Newton county hard
ly need to be reminded of the meeting
to be held at the Court House, in Cov
ington to-morrow, to make arrange
ments for the Barbecue and Reunion
of the surviving soldiers who went
from this county to defend their homes
and equal rights, in the late war.—
Their glorious deeds and heroic devo
tion we are forbidden to celebrate with
martial pomp and the blazonry of mil
tary organizations; nor honored sword
nor battle-bruised musket may be
proudly borue in the mournful proces
sion of the vanquished; but the heart
felt fellowship of common battlefields
stained with their own blood, and hal
lowed by the graves of comrades
slain, cannot be forgotten by the true
hearts. of their survivors. The social
gathering of these war-worn veterans
to maintain and perpetuate a brother
hood of holy memories, is only less
sacred than the most solemn religious
rites, no civilized victors can deny to
the v anquislied the privilege of main
taining a holy regard for the memory
of brethren slain. Then let our peo
ple heartily and unitedly inaugurate
the proposed plan of meeting to com
rncrate those thrilling and interesting
events which have cemented in blood
the ties that unite the hearts of all
true children of ;lre Bunny South.—
Let all preliminaries be arranged to
morrow.
It is earnestly desired that each of
the District Committees be prepared
to report definitely what progress lias
been assigned to them; and the gen
eral feeling of the community in re
gard to tho barbecue.—Cov. Enter
prise.
No county in the State furnished
more troops, according to population,
than old Cass or Bartow. Cannot our
war-worn veterans emulate the exam
ple of their comrades of old Newton,
and also have a social reunion, and
talk over their trials and sufferings in
the Lost Cause ? What say you, fel
low soldiers ? A merciful Providence
has again blest our land with plenty,
Jet s meet and enjoy it together.

Mount Aegodon, Ga., May 29.
One who would duly appreciate
Southern hospitality must be* the re
cipient thereof.
There yet lemain in Georgia some of
tho.-e beautiful and comfortable plan
tation houses whose inner life carries
you back to the bright old days beyond
the dark abyss the war has left —an
abyss which may be bridged over, but
never can be filled up or hidden from
sight or memory. Though the scar is
veiled in the old-time beauty, leaving
no visible trace of the “ Bummers' ” path,
yet there is a living memory of wrong
and outrage that will not find expres
sion in word or action, and all true
men will respect it.
Leaving “Glen Holly,” whence my
first letter, I was honored with a cor
dial invitation from Colonel Seaborn
Jones, to the hospitalities of
“mount algo don.”
This splendid estate is situated in
Polk county, and comprises about one
thousand acres of excellent label, be
sides vast quarries of slate and marble,
which are just being developed, and
which promise immense pecuniary re
turns The plantation is divided by
the Euharlee, one of those beautiful,
clear, and cold streams which abound
in “Cherokee Georgia,” and whose re
freshing loveliness fills one with delight
ful emotions while he contemplates
them everywhere. This stream was
called by the Indians “Ah-ha—la,” sig
nifying “it laughs as it runs.” If it
were in New England it would serve
for twenty thousand spindles, yet here
it laughs on in its bedof marble, gems,
and gold, until it is lost in tho beauti
ful Etow ah
The mansion at Algcdon is large and
imposing, yet snug and comfortable in
all of its appointments, It stands on
a gently rising eminence, in a beautiful
town of about twenty acres, with large
oaks, walnuts, hickory, and other de
ciduous trees and evergreens. The
gardens and orchards are extensively
and well supplied with rarest vegeta
bles, flowers, and fruits of choicest va
rieties; indeed, here are all things, with
in and without, w r hicli can be reason
ably desired in a home.
Though in the path of Hooker’s
Corps, ou “the march to the sea,” this
mansion was not burned. Two miles
distant, the little hamlet of Van Wert,
with its Court-house, and some farm
houses and barns, and stacks and fen
ces, were laid in ashes, and the flames
lighted the midnight path of the
corps, up Dugdown Mountain, on
its way to tho “meeting” at New-Hope
Church.
I commenced this letter with a sin
gle purpose of giving you some faint
conception, for more would be in vain
to attempt, of the vast mineral resour
ces aud exceeding beauty and fertility
of this particular locality. Within a
circumference described by a radius of
ten miles from where I am sitting are
resources which would make the wealth
of an empire. Amongst the minerals
are gold, in well-defined veins in “pla
cer,” and in the beds of the streams
and streamlets (I skomld not like to
predict what “prospecting” might dis
cover;) iron ores, such as the red and
brown hemetite, black oxide, and spec
ular; copper ores of exceeding richness.
Here, too, are vast mountains of slate,
equal to any in the world; marble of
exquisite fineness, in every variety of
color and shade; grind-stone, mill
stone, lithographer’s stone, etc., cAc.—
There is one formation of which I nev
er have seen the like; when first quar
ried it may be brought to any desired
shade by a common hand saw or draw
ing-knife, but when exposed to tho,
-weather for a short time, it becomes
like a very hard sand-stone. It exhib
its on a smooth surface, the most beau
tiful colors —yellow, red, pink, green,
orange, brown, etc. Here, also, are
extensive deposits of mineral paint, red
and yellow ochre of the purest quality.
The springs are truly wonderful; clear,
cold, and fresh, they gusli forth in every
ravine on the mines and tops of the
hills, and flow off in considerable
streams; one Col. Jones and myself
visited. It gushes from the base of a
huge rock, on the “Dugdown Moun
tain” about two-thirds of the distance
to the summit. Running a distance
of a few hundred yards, it sinks out of
sight—but not of hearing—beneath
the rocks, and again appears about one
hundred yards distant, then plunges
over a perpendicular ledge, about for
ty or fifty feet, and passes out to the
foot of the mountain, a cold, full
stream. Amongst tbe springs are sev
eral strongly impregnated; one leaves
on the rocks a considerable incrusta
tion of a whitish brown color, and has
the taste of crude alum very strong. —
At another point, gas rises from tk<i
bed a bright flowing brook, causing
great commotion in the water, which i*
increased on disturbing the earth at
the bottom. It is said that if a gun
barrel is sunk down a few inches into
the mud in the brook and a lighted
match is held at the top, a bright and
continuous flame is emitted. I did
not try the experiment, but I am as
sured that it has been tried with com
plete success.
I should utterly fail in the best essay
of wliicli I deem myself capable to do
justice to the singular beauty of this
truly wonderful locality. Here is the
southwestern extremity of tho “Blue
Ridge,” and nature seems as if she
must needs build no farther this way.
Here the “ridge” is broken into ‘spurs’
and between these are lesser hills and
valleys so enchanting in their loveliness
that they seem the creations of a pleas
ant dream. Not alone are the volleys
fertile, the hills and mountains to their
utmost peaks are covered with beauti
ful verdure. There are tbe loftiest
pines, oaks, blackwalnut, butternut,
hickory, ash, locust, chestnut, mulber
ry, catalpa, the beautiful box-elder, and
other hardy trees, all indicating a rich,
vigorous soil.
In one of these charming valleys is
Mount Algcdon, and through a chain,
or succession of such, extending west
wardl.? from Cartersville to the State
line of Alabama, is now being con
structed,
“THE CAKTEESYILIJC AND VAN WERT RAIL
EOAD.”
This road, from Car tersville, on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, to this
point, is twenty one miles long; from
this to the Alabama line, eighteen
miles through a charming valley, wher e
it w ill be met by a road eastward from
Cross Plains, a point on the Selma and
Home Railroad. It has the indorse
ment of its bonds by the State of ieor
gia to the amount of §12.500 per
mile. It is to be completed to this
point on or before the Ist of January
next.
The inducement to the aid of the
State is the development of the slate
, and marble quarries, and the immense
mineral resources of this locality, and
the entire region to the State line.
The agricultural products along the
road are wheat, com, oats, cotton, to
bacco, and fruits. The crops of wheat
aud cotton are most important. Clo
ver and Timothy flourish well here,
and are now receiving especial atten
tion. All the fruits of the North flour
ish here. I have never seen flner or
chards of choice apples and peaches;
pears, plums, cherries in abundance.
Wild fruit is truly marvellous in its
luxuriant profusion; blackberries, rasp
ben ies, and mulberries; while on the
1 mountain sides the whortle
berries literally encumber the ground.
Though this section of country may
be called “thickly settled” yeti have
been thinking why it is that it has not,
to-day, ten times its present population,
lo the white man the country is com
parative ly new, the Indians having left
it only in 1836. bite men would not
come here from amongst Northern
farmers while the West was open to
them; nothing could tempt them to
look towards a country where slavery
was. Now, things have changed, and
men are learning that this is peculiarly
the “while man’s country Here, are,
at a low price, rich lands, healthy at
mosphere, pure sweet waters, a climate
unsurpassed, no intense heat, no rough
winter winds, ice and snow are rarely
seen. Here are a people intelligent,
cultivated and refined, who are glad to
welcome the “new comer” with genu
ine hospitality. The negroes are de
serving of all praise. The prowling,
prigging “ carpet-bagger ” has exhausted
his base cajolery upon them, aud yet
they are not altogether ruined. In
deed, in good families here you will
find the “old servants,” and you won
der if they are really “free.” Yes, the
good servant was-always “free” to his
utmost wish; and generally you shall
learn that the negro does not like his
ne\v “freedom” half so well as his old
‘ privileges. Say to your readers, they
will never regret the cost and time of
a \ isit to “Cherokee Georgia,” espec
ially the Valley of the Etowah.
The Wheat Contest.— The following
is the result of the contest between
four gentlemen of Athens to see which
one of them could gather the largest
quantity of wheat from an acre of
ground:
Dr. J, S. Hamilton, forty-six five
sixtieths bushels.
Jno. W. Nicholson, thirty-nine f.rty
sixtieths bushels.
Col. D. Barrow, thirty-nine thirty
five-sixtieths bushels.
Sir. E. Bancroft, thirty-five four-six
tieth bushels.
A widow in Onondaga county,
N. Y.'recently cut out her own daugh
ter in the good graces of her lover,
and married him herself. To obtain
revenge for this unmotherly trick, the
daughter set her cap at the young
man’s rich father, of whom he was the
only heir, to the infinite annoyance of
her step-children.
Col. E. Hulbert is arranging a
schedule via Louisville, Kv., and the
Pennsylvania Central, by which the
trip will be made in 57 hours from At
lanta to New York, with one change
of cars only, at Louisville.
Smart Boy. —A Southern r an, bad
ly reconstructed, removed to Vermont.
V bile there, a child was born to him.
His oldest boy, a four-year old, think
ing his nose out of joint by the newly
arrived pink frog, put his father to
the test thus: “Papa, which do you
like the best, me or baby V” The fath
er, thinking to please the little prat
tler, answered that he liked him the
best. After a serious thought, the
shrewd youth said: “Pa, I know why
you like me the best.” “Why ?” ask
ed the father. “It’s because I’m a.
Southern! man, and baby is ad and
Yankee.”
True Bile Found.— The Knoxville
Whig learns that the grand jury of the
Circuit Court, in Blount couniy, has
found true bills against a number of
persons for participating,"aiding and
abetting in whipping Bev. Mr. Smith,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, some time since.
Important Derision—ST eg r o
Rotes Good;
Judge Durell of the United States
Circuit (hurt in Louisiana, in the case
of Walter L. Campbell vs L. F. Giner
is, has decided that the endorser of a
promissory note, the consideration of
which was for the purchase of slaves,
is liable, as on any other contract.—
The defendant pleaded the destruction
of the property by the Government.—
The sum was $G,300 and interest from
April 4th, 1860.
This decision is in conflict with the
ruling of the Louisiana Supreme Court,
ns also with our own Belief Law.
We glean the above fact from that
excellent journal the New Orlean i Bee.
Coal. —We understand that Capt.
King has discovered a vein of coal be
low his first mine, which is said to be
of a superior quality. Work has been
suspended in the coal mines till fall.
