THE PRESS EXC'JnSION * sac FoSlonlii.T arf (he Pro ccedlngN of she LxcursloniglN u» L’oad's Hole!, Wcduestiay. YOe are compelled, by pressure upon our space, to abbreviate and c »iidense the report of the proceedings. Nei ther the editor*) nor proprietors of ibis P -per were present: ! Col. Iluibert arose, and alluding to the fact that for tno first time the Press were togetuer to consult ou the practical interests of the Suite; said that they had seen for themselves Georgia’s ivsources, nnd now they must awaken the people to the impor tance of their development. He con cluded by toasting the “Press of Geor gia”—May it sustain nil efforts to de velope ihe interest of the Empire State of tne South. Mr. Ciisby then made a speech of sentiment. Among other tilings In used the following lui guage: Our Governor, in compliment to us, has, us it were, become one of ourselves. At a very great personal inconvenience, he has accompanied us on our trip.— When we left he remarked to me that he knew not long he could continue j with ur, but he was reluctant to leave ! ns as long as he could contribute to j the enjoyment of the occasion. Our j intercourse during that time has been 1 of the most agreeable character. He spoke about the power of the Press, and the necessity of harmony; and, with words of adieu, closed. Col. Lester called on Mr. Fleming, of South Caroliua, of the Charleston Courier, who responed as follows: Gentlemen: \\kile I regret that you did not call upon someone more wor thy among you, yet I cannot do other wise than respond to the hearty invi tation which you have given to my self as representative of the South Carolina Press. Os that State, I have to say that though sN is perhaps less to day than she ever has b *en in its history, for she is now in humiliation, j yet she is far dearer to me at this time than she was in her most glorious epoch. A word or two, Mr. President, of this expedition. I apprehend when Mr. Hulbert harnessed up his iron horse, and invited the press of Geor gia, and the Charleston Courier, which 1 have had the honor to represent m the expedition, he invited the people of the 8-tate of Georgia, and of South Carolina to explore this great State, and examine the wealth which lies imbedded in her hills—for what, after all, is the Press but the exponent of the people; and how is it possible for Col. Halbert to bring more advanta geously before the minds of his people, and of ours, the great mineral and oth er resources of this section, than by the excursion from which wo have to day returned. Upon that excursion the Commonwealth of Georgia has been well represented. We have had the Executive Department, the Legis lative Department, and the Judicial! Department all pretty fully represent ed, and last, but not least, you have had the great—the all potential Press. [Applause.] The great responsibility | after all rest upon hem. Here then rests the joys and fatigues of the expe dition. It has been, nevertheless, a memorable trip, and will be so regard ed for years to come. To my mind, it marks anew era in the history ol Georgia, and in tiie history of the Southern States. [Applause.] Vol umes, sir, might be written, and doubt less volumes will be written upon the experiences of the past eight days in Georgia, and they will read; the peo ple of more northern climes; and show them that though conquered as we are believed to be, not only have we iron in our hills, but iron yet in our hearts, i [Applause.] Mr. AVeston, of the Dawson Jour- ■ nal, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That a Committee of the Georgia Press be appointed to corres pond with Col. Mark A. Cooper, of Cartersville; Rev. C. V. Howard, Kingston; Gen. Win. Phillipps, Mari-, etta; Hon. W. P. Price, Dahlonega; | Chancellor Lipscomb, Athens; Col. ' Seaborn Jones, Van Wert; Messrs, j Noble & Sons, Rome, and such others as the committee may think proper for information upon the mineral resour ces of Georgia, and compile and pub lish such information as they may ob tain. Unanimously adopted. Mr. Ciisby, Chairman —The Chair will appoint Mr. Weston, of the Daw-1 son Journal, Mr. Willingham, of the LaSrange Reporter, and Mr Atkin-! son, of the Athens Banner. The committee appointed by the i President of the Press Association, j representing the Association and invi- \ ted guests, beg leave to submit th e fol- j lowing: Resolved, That having accepted the invitation of Col. E. Hulbert, Super- j iutendent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and having traveled with him as his guests, we recognize the excursion as totally disconnected with polities and political pai’ties; that in Col. Hulbert we recognize a man of 1 deep thought and thorough investiga tion, of indefatigable energy, and stea- j dy purpose to advance the interests of j | the State, by a successful administra j tion of the great -public work over ! which he presides, by the aid of his deep sagacity and forethought, as to railroad exteusions, the judicious grad uation of freight tariff, and by the use of all means in his power to develope ! the vast resources of the country. — ; Hence we approve, heartily, of his ■ Excursion, from which we have just returned, its aims and purpose, of the skill shown iu planning, and the polite, and courteous and successful manner in which he has conducted it through out. Resolved, That we are pleased to ; learn that these views are heartily con curved in and approved by his Excel j leney, Governor Bullock and mem ! hers of the Liegisl ituie an other State : officials who have accompanied the excursion; that with pleasure we re i cognize the hospitality of tbe city of Atlanta, represe: ted by her aecom -1 plisbed and genial Mayor, Col. Hulsey, : and return thanks to him and the cit | izens of the fate City; to Messrs. | Kimball for the use of their magnifi ! cent sleeping ears, which have render ed our travel a luxury, instead of labor; to the authorities of t le city of Chat tannooga, for their hospitalities du ring our visit to Tennessee; and to Mayor Z. B. Hargro o and other citi zens of Romo, and through him the city for the geneio ;s and continued hospitality and oou tesies showered upon us, and we tender to them our -jM*rt.felb thanks and best wishes for future prosperity. In Capt. Barney, of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Rail road, we found an accomplished gon tieman and indefatigable Superintend* j ent of a splendid road; and we ten der (hanks for the transit over his! road, his courteous attentions, and j profuse hospitality in entertaining our | party during our whole stay upon his j road. Resolved, That the thanks of the [ Superintendent of the Western and \ Atlantic Railroad ar.d the Press Asso- 1 ciation ind invited guests traveling! with tins excursion, are due, and here- | b}’ tendered, to Cos!. Wade S. Cothran, President of the Rome Railroad Com pany, and the Superintendent J. M. Selkirk, for the free passage of our train and other accommodations ex tended to us; to Col. Wade S. Coth- j ran, President of the Coosa River i Steamboat Company, and Capt. J. M. | Elliott, both of whom are pioneers in j this enterprise and have been favora- j l»ly known to the public in their pres ent positions f >r the 1 ist twenty years, j for our delightful excursion down the ; Coosa iu the steamer Etowah, and for ! their generous hospitality and polite j attention; to Col. Wade S. Cothran, i President, and L. L. Thompson, Su- of the Cornwall Iron i Works, for the cr’icrb barbecue served j at their works, and for their polite at- j tentions and courtesies. That our thanks are likewise due j and tendered to Mr. Lowe, of the Chat- j tannooga Rolling Mills, and Captain j Pratt, of the Avon Coal Mines; to j Messrs. Noble of the Rome Works, and j Mr. Wells, of the Shelby Mines, for! courtesies extended, and especially for j valuable information imparted in ref- ; erc-nce to tlse several important enter prises in which they arc respectively ■ engaged. That we also tender thanks to J. i W. Holtzclaw, conductor; John Ells worth, engineer; James Cook and P. H. Pate, conductors of sleeping cars, Robt. P. Bush, baggage master; L. A. Pond and W. R. Knowles of the re freshmont saloons, and to the whole corps of servants, for the corteous and faithful discharge of duty. E. S. F TCH, J. C. v\ OOTEN, H. Fielder.

[Laugh ter.] Mr- Hancock—Mr. Chairman ; I re sume my motion. Mr. Moore —I second it. Voted down. Mr. Moore—Mr. Chairman, what j business is now before the House ? Mr. Weston —As one of the excur- . sion party, I desire to offer a rcsolu- j tion to extend the thanks of this asso ciation to Col. Cothran, who is Presi- i dent of three different corporations, i the dividends of one or two of which, | as I learn, have been only 60 per cent. ; within the past year. [Laughter].— j I think that he deserves the sympathy of this Excursion: Carried. Mr. Fitch, of the Griffin star - See-,, ing that we are about to pari, I de sire to offer, as the last proposition, though by no means the least, a leso lution to the effect that we tender the thanks of the Press Association, and of the entire Excursion to the Messrs. Pond, of the National Hotel of this ci ty, who I undei stand, have provided this dinner for us at their own expense. [Great applause.] . On being put to a vote, the resolu tion was unanimously adopted. Upon motion of Mr. Medlock, the meeting adjourned amid cheers. C. H. C. Willingham, A. R.

WHAT HE THTNX.S OF MOUNTAIN LIFE —AN OPINION AS IS AN OPINION. From the Brooklyn Caion Philosophers tell ns that is iinpossi , ble to obtain a true idea of any object, • unless we see it in all its phases and | from every side. Even the rural fe lecitv of the Adirondacks cannot bo fully understood or appreciated unless seen from the position of more than one observer; and the only way to get at a genuine expression of opinion is to read a couple of the letters now ly ing waiting for the mail. First comes a large and rather dirty envelope, di rected iu a sprawling boyish hand, and furthermore adorned by two blots and a big smear* the lattfcr evidently effected by the impatient little finger of the writer. It reads thus: Dear Jimmy —Ask your mother to bring you up here, light off. It’s gay. There’s fishing here, and plenty of worms to catch ’em with. You stick the hook in ’em, and the}’ wriggle bul ly. Fishing’s fur nier when you don’t catch the hook in the seat of your pantaloons, so’te you can't sit down and can’t fish all the way home. I j did that the other day, and Mr. Jcuk yns, cousin Laura’s beau, ask’ut me.— I was a sole or a heel. Suppose he thought lie was going to be funny, but I didn’t see it, Bime-by, I see him cut a little piece out of cousin Laura’s J hair, where her hook caught and kiss it, Lke a great baby, and put it in his pocket. Ho I told ’em at tea, and ev erybody else Lift. They have cows here, and Igo to see them milked.— They don’t pump it out with their tails, like you and I thought they did, but they squeeze it out of a bag that comes on purpose. I suppose. 1 milked the other night. It was very hard to squeeze, and it wouldn’t go into the pail. Some of it went intertuy i eyes, and the rest up my s eeves. I don’t like milking. I don’t ilke tur key cocks neither. They ruffle them selves up big and run at you. They are a very plierocious bird, and very disagreeable to live with. * Chickens are nicer. We eat ’em. They put them under a baril at night, and Bill and I kill them iu the morning. We have bully fun wringing their necks.— You’d better come here right off, and bring a strot-gun, for there are bears here, any way we saw a fox, and some candy, bccos we can’t get any here, and a pop-gun and some bows and arrows and things. Perhaps we can shoot a deer. I think Mr. Jenkyns is a blamed fool. He made believe find a deer’s track the other day, aod | when I looked* at it, it was nothing ! but the marks of cousin Laura’s boot. | I do not sec what makes men so sap- | py about girls. We won’t, will we?— | Id be ashamed. I’m going to ride j old Sam to-morrow. lie’s a horse. — i You ride him bareback and its very hard t* stick on, he feels so squirmy. Give my love to all the boys, and tell diem I’m having a bully time, only I hate old Jenkyns. No more at pres ent from Yours truly, Roby. Tlic Velocipede Ride Across # Magara.

His first call for pub lic attention in this section of the country was made in a little hand-bill announcing that his “performances on the tight-rope had astonished the world and left competitors far behind,” and furthermore, that he would ride a ve locipede across Niagara Falls yesterday afternoon. Early in the day the crowd around the Falls was far from small, and by noon the excursion trains on the Great Western and Lake Huron Railroads had brought thousands of people, all uuxious to see tt,e man ride over the Falls in a velocipede. But the show was not at the Falls at all, but below the Suspension Bridge, on the exact spot where the genuine Blondiu years ago crossed the river with tho man ou Ins back The rope, two iflches in di ameter and one thousand feet long, was placed in position last Friday, and made as secure and tight as possible. At 2:30 o’clock the Professor made his appearance at the small house on the Canada side with tLe pieces of his machine and at once proceeded to put them together—a tasl* of no small la bor. With the aid of his men he first placed the forewheel on the rope just at the edge of the precipice, end while one man balanced it another placed on the standard from the under side, thus bringing two strong bars of iron tm either side of the rope. Ail the joiuts were securely fastened with bolts. The braces or connecting rods extend ing from the standard to the rear shait in the form of the letter O made the connection ct rnplete and very strong. The Professor then got outside of the rope, arranged the pinion wheel, and fastened the balance-pole across the O part of the braces. This done, the seat (a strip of leather) was secured to the rear axle by means of straps. This arrangement, which it was seen at once would throw the entire weight of the machine and the rider unuer the rope, was a source of disappointment, il not relief, to many of tbe spectators, who, not consulting the inventive genius of the Canadian Blondiu, rather expected to see him mounted on a Greenwood velocipede, which, of course, would give a good distance for ground and lofty : tumbling. The lion made his second appearance !at 3:30 o’clock, dressed for the per j formance. He woro white tight, black ! velvet knee-breeches, shoulder straps ! and cross-belts of the same material, ; and on his head waj placed a crown ! shaped hat; and all were profusely be- j decked with tinsel and beads. His • feet were covered with bn IT moccasins. Before alighting from the carriage Jen kins stopped and tailed with our re porter; but there was a little nervons ' ness apparent about his eyes and ! month, tfhich -was caused by over ' smoking or the enormous quid of to bucco he was seen to bite from a bor i rowed plug. FALSE START. We gave him a word of cneouvage ment, and lie at once took Lis position j astride the rope aftd proceeded to nr i range the leather strap or seat, which las it was allowed to touch the lope,, j scorned more for the purpose of pro tecting the velve* pants from damage j |by attrition than tu sit unon. Jn fact, ! : he did net sit, but stood np, with his • | feet about eighteen inches apart, rest- j ing on the balance pole. In a mom; nt | he grasped the handles of the pinion ’ wheel, and turned them, moving slow- j ly from the bank, thecrowd preserving j a death-like stillness. After passing out a few yards a halt was made, am! j the photographers were allowed to j take his picture. He then returned, waited five or ten minutes, and then | resumed his seat. Three pistol shots .were then fired from the Canadian side, and it was a GO. Tho machine moved slowly forward, j the rope swaying gently from side to sido until he had passed out about fit'- I ty feet, when another opportunity was | .given the artist; after which he crawled | along at a snail s pace to (he middle of the abyss, where be raised and waived . his hat and received a faint clie< r in i response. From the centre to the j American shore it was evidently hard woik to propel the bicycle, but at last the edge of the cliff was reiv hod, and then the welkin did ring wiih the ap plause of the people. The time occu pied in passing over the rope was just eleven minutes. Dealh in iltc Luiiip. One death by accidental poisoning is enough to startle the community, and scarcely any measures allowed by j the law against the druggist whose; mistake has occasioned it are severe j enough to satisfy the public. But. death in another and more terrible j form is freely sold at a thousand shops j in this city, is carried into nearly all families, and hardly a word is said against those who, with a i:c.gh b a;cc so gross as to savor almost of malice or crime, are making money by dis tributing it as one of the conveniences of life. It is time to make known the alarming fact that.the substance com monly known as illuminating oil is al most as explosive as gunpowder, and almost as dangerous to handle us the dre ;ded nitroglycerine. It is but a few days sinco a man em ployed about some machinery, updn a Pennsylvania railway, took with him for use a can containing what he sup posed to be lubricating oil. He used it about axles and shafts for more than a day With entire success, and had nearly exhausted it, when he under took with the last drops to oil an axle that was revolving rapidly. The can suddenly exploded in his hands, and he was blown to pieces. An examina tion showed that his oil was really ni tre-glycerine, called the most violent explosive substance that science las devised. But if this man had taken the lamp-oil sold every hour, it seems that his life would have been sti.l shelt er. ... A large proportion of the patients now admitted to the city hospitals are sufferers by the explosion of kerosene lamps. One fourth of the alarms of tire have the same origin. r Jhe coron ers are busy with inquests upon the bodies of those suddenly killed and mutilated by such accidents. Professor Charles F. Chandler says, in the Chemical News: “Bay after day, we see accounts of horrible deaths from accidents; some times the lamp explodes; sometimes it is overturned; sometimes five is kin dled with a little oil from the can; in numerous ways the fatality occurs; but the cause ns always the s^me—bad oil. It has been our duty to examine the kerosene retailed in New Yoik, and, although we have purchased and examined upwards of one hundred Simples, we have not yet found a sin gle sample of safe oil -oil which con forms to the regular legal standard 1. That it shall not take tire or burn at a temperature below 110 deg. Fah renheit. 2. That it shall hot evolte an ex plosive vapor below 100 deg. Fahren heit. —uhile about twelve per cent c,f the sj,ec irnem dre pure benzine, the must volatile and dangerous product of j i troleum. AVhat is the remedy for this? A common demand is for more stringent legislation; But is there not a simpler way than this? * eople do not need special laws to keep them from burning gunpowder for coal. The laws we have are enough to punish those who -recklessly sell death for gain in any form. Can any jury hesitate to convict of man? laught er the man who makes and sells ex plosive oils fer household uses, and so kills lr's customers ? After till the pub lic warnings that have been given, and the scientific information on the sub ject that Ims been made general, any dealer who distributes oil without knowing that it is safe is criminally responsible for the fatal consequences. At present, it appears, there is no ! safe oil in themarket. Professor Ghan- I tiler gives this simple test: The most dangerous oils can be rcc i ognized at once by applying a lighted match to a small quantity contained in a saucer. Every oil. that can be lighted with a match should bo con demned nt once, as only the most dan gerous will take tire at ordinary tem peratures.” Let it be understood that the man who brings t>> his house any o! (*'< and o- miuating oil now commonly sold, or auy such oil tint has not Leon proved viid found safe by this or aozue tduiiLr test, does so at the peril of his life and property. To limit, as far as possible, the uh tressihg aociden 8 now of du ly occuj* rence, it is not alone sufficient to Wt the quality of the oil used; only the best standard oil (110 di g. Fahren heit) should be employed with the ut most caution; for glass lumps are too j easily broken, overturned or dropped in c-nry lug; metal lamps retain nnd | conduct the heat so as to become in- I sidior.a gas retorts and generators, and fearfully dangerous. Tims, erdiu : ary use ox poses those around to ri k of accident. But, if those general coo tingencca wire not sufficiently dan gerous, instances are constantly aris ing through (be deplorable ignorance, or gross negligence, displayed in vari ous ways, such as lilliug lamps while burning; blowing down the chimney instead of turning down the wick; pouring the fluid on the tire to kindle it; imperfectly cleaning wicks and human, and similar reckless and off hand extravagant acts. Persons em ploying illuminating oils of any des cription, should make themselves thor oughly acquainted with their proper ties, and the safest mode of bundling, and especially warn and instruct tlu.tr children and servants therein. | Down in the world —A miner.
