ITie Great Resources of North
Georgia.
•[From the Alauta Constitution.
Mr. Editor: We left Cartersvillo
early iu the morning The falling rain
did not prevent the enjoyment afford
ed by the picturesqe hills which encom
pass it in every direction. A valley
i rain or a mountain mist are not clouds
to cheerful spirits. We enter the val
ley of the Etowah. The only vestige
ol the time when the Lherokee war
rior was monarch of his native forest,
are the names that are preserved out
of tho wreck. Why should we select
the termination “ville,” in order to give
names to our cities ? Why make a
mc&dliance of and French and English
words, when the rich find melodious
Indian names cling to every river and
creek V”
Barge mansions of the planters, sit
uated generally on the heights over
looking their plantations, with green
lawns of clover and blue grass in front,
show the planter-life of regime.
These homes are, perhaps, the finest
of their kind in Georgia. The rich
valleys teem with plentiful harvests of
gram of all kind. The grasses and
cereal crops are luxuriant; tobacco a
profitable product; and cotton the
great staple. No doubt, ere many
years, the foreign emigrant, attracted
to this garden country, will enliven
these mountains sites with “his own
vine and fig tree.” The soil is emi
nently suited to the grape. What oth
er region can yield these varied crops
in equal perfection ?
Crossing the graceful Etowah, its
banks shaded by fine old trees in sum
mer foliage, we leave the Rowland
ferry-road and ride for “Raccoon Val
ley.” This, like the other valleys
whose creeks empty into tho Etowah,
is a rich alluvial bottom. The hills
that descend into these val'eys are
likewise rich; the soil very tenacious,
so that tho winter rains do not rapid
ly bear away the plant-food to the lev
el below, as is so generally tho case
in Southern Georgia. Consequently
the hill-side culture is not so good—
in many instances the plow running
its furrow down the steep. Sooner or
later this will receive more attention.
Few negroes are seen. Gradually
the tenant system is being partially
adopted, though there is no general
system. White laborers rent laud
from tho large planters. These latter
employ as many “hands” as can be
hired by the year, and preserve the
old mode of planting, with such chan
ges as scorn necessary in the execution
of minor details. This is emphatically
a “farming” country. Society in this
valley is remarkably good. One need
not be surprised to find copies of a
“Murillo” upon the walls of the parlors,
or such books as “The Munich Galle
ries,” etc., etc., on the tables. North
Georgia seems destined to obtain the
best rural society in the State.
Wo pass through the valley en route
for Van Wert. The country continues
broken; as we recede from tho river
settlements become rare, nor is the
land naturally so fertile as the coun
try behind us.
Arrived at Van Wert tho huge ledg
es of rock, from the mountain side —
reaching from summit to foot —attest
the hidden stores of North Georgia.—
These rocks are now being quarried,
and yield the purest slate in the world.
The Welchmen inform us that Wales
cannot surpass it; nor can the States
where they have worked, Pennsylvania,
Vermont, Maine, and others from Can
ada to Georgia—equal it iu extent
and quality. Hero are millions of tons.
The value of the mines cannot be esti
mated. The veins extend from North
Alabama through North Georgia ami
North-South Carolina, terminating in
South Carolina. The mineral wealth
of these regions—embracing iron, coal,
manganese and slate in abundance,
has scarcely been brought to light—
Tho gold mines of North Georgia are
prolific and profitable. We need a
physical survey of Georgia. We need
a commodore Maury, and a corps of
scientific engineers. Even the map of
Georgia is a disgrace to science, and
to the State. If science will aid na
ture, wealth will take care of itself.
If S .vitzerland with Alpine summits
of glaciers, impassable and invisible
except to the eye of science, has been
brought within its domain, and its ty
pography pictured with minute exact
ness, with what ease could Georgia bo
typographically surveyed! Incredible
as it may seem, pot a Geologist has
describeifto us the character and vari
ety of our soils; not a chemist has
blessed us with the result of his inves
tigations. The young State of South
Carolina has a State Geological Sur
vey. If “practical” men (so-called)
object to it as an expensive establish
ment let them read the “Natural
Wealth of California.” History, geog
raphy, natural history, climate, popu
lation, wealth, industry, products and
resources are there treated.

Impeachment The Legislature.—
We find the following paragraphs in
the Atlanta Constitution of Saturday:
Impeachment. —The work of impeach
ment goes bravely on. Sufficient in
formation has been received by the
committeo to warrant the statement
that successful impeachment of Gov
ernor Bullock, is a foregone conclu
sion.
The Legislature —Gov. Bullock will,
we learn, call the Legislature together
on the 7th of July. By that time the
impeaehens will be ready to prefer
charges against him.
Facetiae.
A eoothing nap-sack—A pillow
Objects of interest—seven-thirties.
Sisters of Charity—Faith and Hope.
Human progress—From pap to pa

High words —conversation on Mount
Blanc.
Ihe largest ants in the world—Ele
phants.
Ihe latest things in dresses—Night
dresses.
Motto for market-gardeners— Let
us have peas.
Tho winds most dear to merchants
—trade winds.
Cheap and nasty—A penny worth
of Epeom Salts.
Knowledge is power—hence the
widow’s might.
Bitter Sarcasm—Wishing a deaf
man a happy new ’ear.
Many of the richest planters of Ja
maica live on coffee-grounds.
Domestic magazines—Wives who
blow up their husbands.
To keep your wife in constant check
—Make her dress in gingham.
Motto for the Sheriff—Render unto
seizer the things that are seizers.
V hat did our first parents do in
Eden? Adam kept the garden and
Evo raised Cain.
The man uho was disturbed in
mind took a doso of yeast-powder and
immediately rose above liis troubles.
“Bob,” said a facetious farmer to
liis son, “we had a pretty hard day’s
work yesterday; now let’s have a game
of chopping wood.”
“Won’t that boaconstrictor bite me ?’
said a little urchin to a showman.—
“Oh! no, boy, he never bites, be
swallers his whittles whole.”
Why are young ladies, at the break
ing up of a party, like arrows ? Be
cause they can’t go off without beau,
and are in a quiver until they get
them.
Mrs. Jenkins complained in the ev
ening that the turkey she had for
Thanksgiving did not set well. “Prob
ably,” said Jenkins, “it was a hen
turkey.”
Coleridge, the poet and philosopher,
arriving at an inn, called out: Waiter,
do you dine here collectively or indi
vidually?” “Sir,” replied tho knight
of the napkin, “we dine at six.”
Young Lady—“Oh ! I am so glad
you like birds; which kind do you ad
mire most ?”
Old Squab—“ Well, I think the goose
with plenty of stuffing, is about as
any.”
“My son,” said an anxious father,
“why do you use that nasty tobacco ?
The boy, declining to consider the ques
tion iu the spirit in which it was ask
ed, replied: “To get the juice ”
Tho pastor of a popular church, at
the Sunday-school concert, said:
“Boys, when I heard your beautiful
songs to-night, I had to work hard to
keep my feet still; what do you sup
pose is tho trouble with them ?”,
“Chillblains, sir,” shouted a little six
year old.
Two physicians at the bedside of n
patient disputed as to the nature of
the disease. At last one of them end
ed the discussion by spying: “Very
well, have it your own way now, but
the post-mortem will show that I am
right.” Tho patient was not much
encouraged.
A New-Hamsliiro editor, who has
been keeping a record of big beets,
announces at last that “the beet that
beat the beet that beat the other beet
is now beaten by a beet that beats all
the beets, whether the original beet,
the beet that beat tho beet, or the beet
that beat the beet that beat the other
beet.”
An Irishman haring applied to the judge

A Merchant being unable to live as
comforthble as he desired, and at the
same time pay his debts, failed several
times iu business, and made assign
ments of his property. Finally he
died. Among those who had cause to
remember him was Mr. B , who,
meeting one of his neighbors, was in
formed that Uncle C was dead

so ?” replied B ; “why didn’t he
make an assignment ?”
“Doctor,” said an old lady the other
day to her family physician, “kin you
tell mo how it is that some folks is
born dumb ?” Why, hem! certainly,
madam,” replied tjie doctor; “it is

the world without the power of speech.”
“La me,” replied the old lady, “now
jest see what it is to have a physic ed
ucation ! I’ve axed my old man more
nor a hundred times that ’ere same
thing, and he couldn’t say.”
An Arkansas judge of the old times,

e-q-u-i the way to spell equinomical ?”
“Yes, I think so,” said the Judge; “but

soon tell you.” Ho opened the book
and turned over the leaves repeating
aloud, “E-qui-nomical—c- pui-nomica’
Fiuding tiio proper place, ho ran his
eye anti finger up ami down the col
umn two or throe times, until he was
thoroughly satisfied the Word was not
there. Closing tho book with a slam,
the Judge laid his spectacles on the
table, and rising slowly, broke forth:
“Well, sir, I’ve always boon a Daniel
Webster man, and I voted for him for
President; but any person that will
write as big a dictionary as that, and
not put as common a word as e-qui
nomical iu it, can’t get my vote again
not once.”
The Negr j Case Before the Supreme
Court. —The Atlanta Constitution, of
Friday evening says: “The argument
in this case was concluded this morn
ing by ex-Goveruor Janies Johnson.—
So great has been the interest taken
in this matter that the Court moved its
session to the Senate Chamber to .ac
commodate the large crowd that wish
ed to hear the case argued.
“There is a rumor floating around,
that Joe Brown will go back on his
Marietta speech, for the reason that he
discussed the point then solely with ref
erence to the constitution, and now he
looks at it from the constitution and

speculation.”

Dat’s Wot I Spect. —ln tho olden
time when the planters -were less
thoughtful for the spiritual than for
the corporeal health of the slaves, Col.
Ramsey saw' his hoy Dan (aged forty)
going one morning, Bible in hand, to
church. Knowing that Dan was not a
person with strong literary proclivities,
the Colonel said:
“What are you doing with that Bi
ble, Dan—you can’t read it?”
“No, massa, can’t ’zactly read ’em,
but I can spell ’em out a litUe.”
“What’s the use of spelling it out ?
You can’t understand it any way. The
Bible, for instance, says that ‘tiro very
hairs on our head are numbered. Now
you haven’t any hair on your head —
nothing but wool. What do you say
to that ?”
“Yes, massa, I’spect dat’s so; but I
spell out one little verse, which say dat
on las’ day do sheep dey go one side
and de goats ontodder. Now tie sheep
has de wool, but dc goats dey got liar,
jii’t like white folks; and I ’spect dey
ain’t gwine to be saved—dat’s wot I

The Swedenborgian Doctrine.—Ac
cording to Swedenborg, there are three
heavens, consisting of three orders of
angels; the first distinguished for love,
the second for wisdom, and the third
for obedience. All angels have lived
on earth, none were created as such.
They are men and women in every re
spect; they marry and live in societies,
in cities and countries just as in the
jvorld, but in happiness and glory inef
fable. All iu whom love to God and
man is the ruling principle, go to heav
en at death. Between heaven and hell
a perfect equilibrium is maintained.—
As there are three heavens, there are
three hells, and every angelic society
has an infernal antagonist. Hell, as a
whole, is called the devile and satan;
there is no individual bearing that
name. All in whom self-love is the
ruling motive, go to hell. There is no
resurrection of the earthly body. Ev
ery one passes to his final lot at death;
some make a short sojourn in an in
termediate state, designated tho world
of spirits, whore the good are cured of
their superficial infirmaries and intel
lectual mistakes, and the evil reject all
tbeir pretences to good.

2,095,000 the number of square

089,732 square miles of land; which
beiug divided as before, give 1,314,-

If we reduce these miles to square rods, j
the number will he 1,853,174,000,000,- j

will give 1,283 inhabitants to each

the mushroom cities that sprang up
and vanished as the Union Paciffic
Railroad progressed, seems likely to
become a permanent city. Though not
more than throe month i old, it has up

Magnitude of the Eakth. —The cir
cumference of our globe is 25,020 miles,
and so stupendous a circle may be best
comprehended by comparison. For
example a railway train,traveling night
and day, at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour, would require six weeks
to go around it. The cubical bulk of
the earth is 260,000,000,000 of cubic
miles, and according to Dr. Lardner, if
the materials which compose it were
built up in the form of a column, hav
ing a pedestal of the magnitude of
England and Wales, the height of the
column, would be nearly four and a half
million of miles. A tunnel through
the earth from England to New Zeal
and would be about eight thousand
miles long.
