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. Toccoa. 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 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 to be excused from serving on account of deafness, the judge said: “Gould you hear my charge to the jury sir ?” “Yes, I heard your honor’s charge,” said Paddy, “but I couldn’t make any sense out of it.” He was let off. The servant of an arr> iy officer one day met a crony, who inquired of him how ho got along with his fiery mas ter. “Oh ! excellently!” answered tho servant, “we live on very friendly terms; every morning we beat each others coats; the only difference is, ho takes his off to be beaten, and I keep mine en.” 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 had paid the debt of nature. “Is that 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 owing to the fact that they come into 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, who had an office in common with a physician, was at his table, busy with briefs and bills in chancery. ’Jhe doc tor was w riting a letter, and pausing for a moment, called out: “Judge, isn’t e-q-u-i the way to spell equinomical ?” “Yes, I think so,” said the Judge; “but here’s Webster’s Dictionary—l can 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 code blended. Os course this is all speculation.” By this time we arrived at the beau tiful little city of Marietta, we were ful ly enshrouded iu the darkness of the night, and a good supper being prepar ed at the Ivennesaw House for the weary traveler, wo were availed of the opprotunity of testing its merits and pronounce none better. The Kenne saw House, as a supper house, receives a liberal patronage from the travelling public going West and, indeed, well deserves it.—Barnes ville Gazette. Enrolment of the Militia. —In ac cordance with orders received from Gov. Scott, the Adjutant-General of the State has instructed the census ta ker of this city to enroll all the citizens of this county between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years. There are two forms for the enrollment, one embracing all between eighteen and thirty years, and tho other tlioso be tween thirty and forty-five years. — There is to be no exemption whatever in the enrollment, and all who desire exemption are required to apply to the Adjutant-General’s office, Columbia. The census taker will begin his duties in about ten days, when he will also take the census.—Charleston News 11th. 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.

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.
