Os HAKTUW. PRESS EXCURSION. Special Correspondence j EXPIIUSS. Ca:.TE HViI.LE, Ga., \ Sept. 3rd., 18C9. j Mb Editor : The Prana Excureicn arrived at Rome, on the morning of the 27th of August, last. Mayor Z. T. Hargrove, met us early in the morn ing. and extended an invitation to the Choice House, for breakfast, and also tendered us the use of vehicles to ride over his beautiful Mountain City, all of which were accepted by us. We visited the Rome .Manufactur ing and Car Wheel Works -of Messrs. Noble & (Sons’, Mho the Rome Machine and Car Wheel Works of Messrs. No ble & McCullough. Car Wheels of a very superior quality are turned out at these Works. At the Rome Manufac turing Company Works, owned by a Stock Company, of which N. 0. an 1 11. M. Anderson is President, bar iron, ear axles, hinge bolts, sheet iron and nails are manufactured. Near three hundred umn are employed in these extensive Machine and Work Shops. We returned to the C’noicc House iu time to paitnke of a grand dinner giv en us by the city of Rome. Before touching tlie delicious things spread upon the table, Mayor Hargrove ten dered, in due and proper form, in the name and behalf of Home, and Ro mans —a hearty welcome to the Ex cursionists, to which Gov. Bulled: re sponded in a rii<v- little sjiccch, conclud ing by introducing Col. Clisby of the Macon Telegraph, who delivered a short address. Cos!. Hulbcrt, war next called cut; he took the floor, but seemed to conceive there was a nicer way of entertaining Excursionist ■, and iu his usual “shaip and quick’’ style, moved and led a most graceful attack on the glorious dinner! Tho Rome Brass B ind enlivened the already hap py spirits of the “Fourth Estate of Georgia,” with a few strains of ih sweetest music, the dinner was conclu ded with a toast in honor of Hon- Win. 11. Hulsey, of the “Gate City,” of Georgia. The Excursionists embarked for an excursion down the Coosa River, on board the steamer Etowah, Icavii gthe “Mountain City” of Georgia, with best wishes for her future prosperity and glory. Col. W. S. Cothran, Capt. Dunlap Scott, and others, joined the Party at Rome. That river ride was delightful! Two rivers rising in the basin between the Southern extremi ties of the Blue Ridge and Allegha nies, in Georgia, sweetly kiss each oth er at Rome, and as one, roll on. We Bay our ride was deligtful! Every an ticipation of your correspondent was more than realized, every premise of grandeur, and beauty fulfilled. We gazed with pleasure upon the fert 1 o valleys and picturesque mountain scenery, as seen from the Etowah as she proud y passed down the that presents the remarkable pheuom euon of a stream navigable for steam boats at both extremities; there are but few obstructions, and these might bo removed by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars, in cleaning out at several points, the accumulation of gravel and sand, iu the bed of the stream. The sweet slumbers of your corres pondent was broken, while snoring an accompaniment to “at five o'clock in the morning,” by his Majesty, King Nuns, who informed us that the Round Mountain Iron Works wvre near, rea dy for inspection. These Works were destroyed by Col. Straight, the Raider, and have not been rebuilt The site is a spl ndi I: one for Iron Woij:s; the ore is near by in great quantities, it is the ossilif- i erous iron ore. We next inspected ) the Cornwall Iron works, located three i miles from Cedar Bluff, iu Cherokee ; County Ala., are owned by a Georgia Block Company, of which Col. Wade 8. Cothran is President, with a capital of $75,000,00. Here Iron of a supe rior quality is made out of the ossifer ous ore; it is found on the Southern slope of John’s Mountain, in great masses of flattened globules and impressions of shell, it yields in pure metal about GG per cent. Tue iron is used for the manufacture .of Car Wheels, on account of its strength and endurance—is soli in Rome, Cimt tannooga, Boston and Philadelphia.— It is worth more in the Latter City than the best Iron manufactured from the great variety of ores ox I’ennsylvauii. After our inspection of thaau ext m sive Works Col. Cothran invited tj ie party out to Hull Springs and then to eat of the most delicious, barbecued meats. Ihe dinner wat nice and hmhl, O J enjoyed by • rtedt and :11 We rode out to tho Works on waggons provi ded by tho company. It was the va riety ride of ie* Excursion; at 5 p. m. we reached the Etowah, and returned up the river on our way to Rome. There was a meeting held by the Press Association cn hoard that night, the questi n being —“Bli-dl we accom pany Col. Hulbcrt on an excursion down the Selma Rome & Dalton Rail road ?” This question was decided in the affirm stive; on this occasion Col. Halbert and Rev. C, W. Howard de livered very interesting and instructive speeches. Your correspondent will forbear any further allusion thereto, as both will be published at no distant day. We arrived at Rome at 8 o t clock, on Sabbath morning, and spent that day of rest in the City. Ou tho morning of the 30th, on board of Col. Hulbert’s Excursion Train, we started down the Selma, Rome & Dalton Railroad. Our first halt was Gave Springs, we visited the Cave, and guided by tho dim lamp of inexperience, wc only went a short distance into the dark place—the spring was nice; the water so cool and sparklingly bright! A few miles be low Cave Springs there is a vast iron field, where the ore is scattered on the siu-face of tho earth. At this place there will soon be erected Iron Works, by the Georgia Iron Manufacturing Company of Rome. Wo also inspect ed the Oxford Iron Works, 6 ) miles below Rome, imaredi; tely on the line of the Railroad; here, then, is another vast Mfne of the pure hematite iron ore, which will yield G 5 per cent, of pure metal. These Works wore de stroyed by Gen. Wilson, in 18G5. — In an economic point of view, this place, if the Works were re-establL-kod, ; could be made one of the most impor ; taut Iron Manufacturing points in i Alabama. Our next halting place was at 1 atuna, where we partook of lunch prepared for us by the officers of the S. R &D. Railroad; there were sev ; oral speeches m vie upon this occasion, among them, Capt.. Barney, Supt. of, .he S. R. & D. R. 11., who, when call ed on, said: ‘Won will not get a speech from me, gentlemen; I am no speech mnking-mau, but I will carry you over 150 miles of Railroad, and show you matters of interest each mile; this is a speech of 150 miles in length.” Bill Arp, of Rome, and others made speeches appropriately. Near night we reached Shelby Sul phur Springs, stopped to test the wa ter. The Springs are situated in a beautiful grove (you must excuse your correspondent,) he can’t, tell you how clie water tasted, for lie, while imbibing copious draughts of the health restor ing fluid, was attracted by a Party of ladies and gentlemen, playing that de lightful game, croquet. Wc paid a flying visit to lie city of Selma— reached there at 12 m., in the night, and breakfasted at the Troup Hotel, and early in the morning, a most pleasant ride over the city; the muin attraction here is the magnifi cence of the Houses, and the beauty of the shade trees. At nine o'clock) a. m., we left for the Shelby Iron Woiki. Wo reached them about 3 p. in. Here we found the most ex tensive Iron Works in the S ate; th e ! brown hematite ore yields 65 per cent, of pure metal at this place. These Works are the property of the Shelby Iron Works Company, Chartered by the Legislature of A1 ~ with a capital of fOCO.OCOOO; they employ regularly j 200 hands, the year round, and turr.- l ed cut 15 ton of Iron per day. We left these Wotks aud st ated cn our 1 return to Rome. We arrived at Rome i at 4 o’clock, p. m., hi the morning of : September Ist., and at 8 o’clock de -1 ported for, and arrived at Atlanta, at 1, p. m.; enjoyed a glorious dinner at the Nation! 1 given the party by Mr. Rond, then adjourned sine die. And now, Mr. Editor, your corres pondent has about co; eluded his*rc port of the grand Press Excursion to inspect and report the development of the .Mineral resource of the country. He desires to say this much in beha ! f of North Georgia, while he is willing to accord to East Tennessee, Alabama that they abound in rich mineral re sources, and while he is willing to allow them t > boast of their plentiful soil and mountain scenery, so grandly beautiful. Still lie holds that North Georgia, stands first in the richness, purity aud variety of her minerals— her gold, copper, iron, manganese, marble and shite, abound in great quantities. Yes, and last but not least, her fertile vallies and her healthy heavenly atmosphere, and the pictur esque scenery of her eternal hills, and her hard working people, all combine to make the most favored portion of the Continent. “Wi n” Tom.

J Reaving the base of Mount Yonah, j on Saturday evening, we drove down to the far-famed “Valley of Nacdochee* | to spend the Sabbath in its quiet love- j line*?, and feast our eyes on its attrac tions. About sundown, we entered and crossed it, and began to realize why it was so famed. Crossing a beautiful clear stream—a large creek —the waters of the Chattahoochee, we at oncj were on the level plain form ing part, of the valley. On either side of the highway was delightful mead ow land, almost as smoothe as a mir ror, (the hay crops having recently been cut) while a rich perfume attest ed the quality of the new made hay.— So cool and inviting, one felt like lying down upon its grassy surface, and roiling child-like over its soft boSorr- Readers, “children of a larger growth,” have you not all had this feeling ? Driving up to the residence and store of Mr. Charles Williams, who owns a large portion of the valley, and en quired of him whether lie could sell us hay for our horses, “certainly, gen tlemen, all you want, but above my house some distance, isa good pasture, turn your stock into it and it shall not j cost you a cent, and remain with us to-morrow, and attend church.” Air. W. is an old settler here, and a noble I speeirm nos the old school gontloifian, courteous in manners, nobio in priu- I ! ciple, and dispensing an elegant hos pitality to visitors of this charming | scenic Vale. He will not be forgotten : by the thousands who visit this gem, i this beautiful mountain jewel, sur rounded by mountains and high hills on both sides. This valley, about eight miles in length, and a half to one mile in width, almost perfectly level, bearing on its bosom, heavy crops of j grass for mowing, diversified with , wheat, oats, and Indian corn, presents one of the most lovely views to the eye than can be imagined. Walled in by mountain and hill, a beautiful limped stream, running its whole length, soft jly flowing, and murmcriug sweetly , along over golden sands and bright pebbles, reflecting from its mirrored i face those guardian mountains which | have stood sentinels over it for thou | sands of years, and receiving into its bosom many sweet rills, which come | leaping joyously, form the sides of the j valley as bright as liquid diamonds, as sweet as nectar, and pure as a virgin’s dream, it stands alone in its grandeur the most lovely of nature’s bright cre ations. Contemplating this scene, on I the Sabbath, I felt that all was not lost of Eden; hero seemed a reglimps |of Paradise; here the heart seemed to hold sweet converse with God in the “cool of the evening.” And here, as we gaze upon the soft quiet of its Sab bath eve, we thought that sin had left ! fewer of its scars, than upon the outer , world. We had attended preaching morning and evening, and found the church well filled with worshipers and of the better class. The land being good and productive, they have had the means of educating their children and the result is seen in their, refine ment and ease of manners in mixing with visitors. Thousands visit this beautiful Vale. Europe has been «ep resented, from time to time, by her travellers. Men of the South, this beau tiful scenery is with us, people of Geor gia, in this North Eastern portion of our beloved State, we have the Switz erland of America. Nothing can sur pass the grandeur of its mountains, the beauty of its valleys, the delicious ness of its climate, cool and bracing is its life-giving atmosphere and wa ter; cold, sparkling and bright and re minds one of the fabled fountain whose properties were to restore old age to perennial youth, and keep the young forever young. Amid these natural beauties and healthy climate, let us spend a portion of our summers and money with our own people, and not forever seek pleasures abroad. This summer, thousands have paid the tribute of their admiration to this land of mountain, valley, and stream.— Those, who for any cause, have left the Vale of Nacoocln e, whether to bet ter their fortunes, or spend them abroad, neeer forget it, but in maturer life, part again to review it ii its love liness and once more to press the soil with their feet. Out friend, L W. Williams, of Charleston S. C., some i 30 years ago, went out from this val ley to seek his fortunes in the busy | marts of commerce and has succeeded far beyond his young hopes, when he lef the scenes of his childhood, and now the wealthy wanderer seeks again his native home and has just pur eh as-* ed a beautiful portion of the valley, ! and will soon build a splendid summer ; residence, overlooking a scene, the like of which can hardly be seen in Amer- j ica. Long may he live to enjoy its summer glories. It was in this enchanted Vale that “Our Tom” saw a vision, which to one of his impressible naturo outshone the natural surroundings. The embodi- i merit of said vision was Miss O. F ! of Augusta, Ga„ who, like ourselves, come to see Nacoochee. He surren-! dered at .pneo to one possessing so much beauty and sprightliness and she could well exclaim with the ancient; warrior, “ Veni, Vidi, VicL” To “Our Tom” she was fairer than Cvmbeline,! Ophelia or Rosalind, and better than i this: “For n6i?r did Grpcin.r> ehi?cl [race, A nymph, & naid, or a grace Os finer form, or iovtUor face.” On Monday morning, we passed out of the valley, on our way to Tallulah, and stopping to take a List view, before the lulls intervened we gazed for a length of time, and then with the words, “Sweet vale of Naeoochee 1 adieu,” we left it belaud. One or the Party. Mr. Editor:- Someone over the mellifluous signature of “Cit,” has seen proper to inflict, upon your readers, several effusions from his, would be, satiric pen. The writer of these efforts has not been pleased to enlighten us, as to what object he had in view, in ({tflicling the public with them, or what customs or how much of human nature he expected to revolutionize by his lit tle pasquinades. Upon these points, he has left us in (sweet may the mor sel be) covknOd ignorance; and he has doubtless done so, for the best of reasons; viz—his inability to uo oth erwise. Such neglect, in other casts would be culpable; here it passes the bounds of culpability, and becomes admirable —indeed, commendable. It forms, decidedly, the greatest merit of “Cit’s” diffusion. Lotus review, len iently, for “Cit” is evidently young at pasquinade, and therefore ’tis not sur prising if he cuts himself with his sharp observations. Ilis style—his sarcasm has the peculiarity of soaring into iur pudence; his reason, like a bottomless tub, is unfathomable ; his points, like a ball, arc all points] his wit has the mer it (?) of being so fine as to be indis cernable! This mellifluous “Cit” must not com plain if we speak somewhat plainly, indeed a little more to the point, and to a point than he did; we mean it all in kindness, conceiving it to be our du ty to tell him several things, to the knowledge of which he would never otherwise arrive. First, we would say, “know thyself.” “Cit’s” habits of dif fusion render it probable that it will require some labor and a good deal of patience, for him to contract his ob servation to so small a space as the one to be studied. Knowledge is said to be power; whether knowledge of yourself ,vould render you more pow erful, is an extremely doubtful ques tion. You would then know what you don’t know now, however, and could sa.y “I have handled just enough to discover how little I have learned.’’ Again, we would say to “Cit,” you are neither an Aristophanes nor a Junius. They never squirmed in pools of tobacco juice; they directed their shafts of wit and words of satire at higher and more substantial things than a woman's petticoat. We shall know this man here after, as “Cit, the Petticoat Satirizer. ’ One word more to “Cit,” and we have done; jiixd your cwn business. This, my friend, will doubtless require the full exercise of alt your power, leaving no time to hunt tobacco juice or satyrizc petticoats. “Violet.” Communicated: Tlie Present Road Law. \ It may be presuming too much for ! a comparative stranger, to write an j article for your paper, to call attention to the above law, now in force, in this i county. I have no wish at ail to en- I gage in any political movement. I' - came not to this country for that pur pose, having no time either, to spare ! for such things, but seeirig an article in your last week’s paper, rather in fa vor of the law, and having seen for myself, the injustice and unfairness of | said law, I cannot help calling atten- I tion to it, and calling on the people to i ! take it under consideration and have j ! it repealed, or at least, modified, at | the meeting of the next Legislature, i The man over fifty years of age, let him own SIOO,OOO worth of property, | and has 25 teams on the road con stantly, pays not one cent roacl tax. i The man under fifty years, owning not I one foot of land, not one horse, mule, : steer, or even cow, pays every year, $15,00 road tax, in the shape of 15 I days work, the intere* t on $2 50 at G j per cent. Four-fifths of all the men !in this county, owning property, or ! : having teams running on the road, in i various parts of the county, are over j i 50 years of age. and these four-fifths 1 j pay no tax, as far as roads are concern i ed. Four-fifths of property owners, ior men who use the roads most, in this county, are over the age, and of | the balance left the man who works | for a living, at various kinds of labor, (both white and black) is very much in the majority. We will say, for a% instance, of which, all are familiar, that Maj Cooper is carrying on his ex tensive Iron Works, now he would cin .ploy, say, 600 men and 50 teams- or more, hauling ore, coal, iron, two-thirds or 400 of these men and boys, are nn , der 50 years of age, each one have to put iu 15 days apiece on the roads. How many does Major Cooper put in or pay for him being over 50 years of 1 age; for whose benefit are those 6000 I days put on the various roads, over which his teams, end the teams of I i ther men haul? It is the same as a , tax of S6OOO. (400 men 15 days each.) I It is not for the benefit of the men. surely, only so far as Maj. C. gives them ! employment the balance of the year \ that they do not work the roads.— , They have no horses or mules with which to haul on the roads. Maj. C., i for whose benefit the working of the ! road is done, pays them nothing, un- j less he pleases—he is over 50 and is , not taxed at all, to keep up the roads.! This supposed case, which would be j true, were Maj. C. operating his works to-day, is only just as many eases stand now, in this county, of farmers, not liable to tax, the difference being only on a smaller scale. Take Capt. Pool's case, operating his furnace. He may bo liable to tax of over sls; what are his men, under 50, taxed, and for whose benefit? The law, the wav it stands now, is an outrage, on men who have days work to perform, and oth ers liable to work at other things, to support their families, I will give you an instance of the kind, coming under |my own observation, only a few days | ago, a man having three sons, under j twenty-one years of age and over six j teen, and himself under 50, was called ! the roads. The w hole of them ! have been on the road 10 days and are I called 5 more, making 15 m all, he j will have to work. Now, what snp j ports his family, in all that time. He is a laboring man. That man pays j S6O road tax. < r the interest oa SIOOO, | annually, or in other words, he and | his boys put in sixty days this i on the roads, certainly not for I his benefit, but for four fifths of prop ! erty owners, not taxable, who use the | roads, ovei which to haul their grain, and manufactured articles to muket Each reader of your paper, no doubt, knows of many such eases. Men that I know now working on the roads, | have gone, having nothing for their | families, and such families would have ; suffered, had neighbors not furnished ! them with needed supplies. It is an | arbitrary law, compelling a man to work, at all hazards; hardly anything ; will excuse him, either working or find i hig a substitute If he cannot hire one | aK( I has his fodder to pull, or some ■ [ thing else pressing him hard, he must |go leave his fodder, or whatever else he has to spoil, thereby casting him double the amount, or else should he not report he is tiued, or probably im prisoned. One gentleman said to me in defence of the law: “It makc3 the working men and others owning prop erty, too, under 50, werk the road, and thus we get the money taxes from those who are able to pay.” I will grant that, but I have not yet heard j that any of that money tax" collected, | has ever gone to make one foot of road, : under the present law. Another one, | said in its de fence, “That it was made jto make the negroes work.” That may be so; but as far as I have seen it has | made two white men work, to one ue : gro. The roads, as a general thing, ; are good, but just as good roads are made and can be made again, by the j levying of a money tax in which those j that are able, and over the ago of 21 hears, (tax none under those years,) | and use the roads, will have to pay, i moro m proportion to their ability.— | Tax one man for his farm, another for i his manufactures, another having no i property, for his occupation, and so on, | let it be more or less, that men will ! equalize the matter, it will put it where !it belongs; no distinction as to age, ! (except under 21.) Let it be option | a.l with a man whether he pays tax in | money, puts in a substitute, or works j himself. To the Legislature we must look for a change in this law. The lion. Judge, the Commissioners and the Overseers, but execute the law.— The Legislature form and pass them, and it is they that must repeal or amend. It was a bad, unfit and unfair law, (iu my opinion,) formed and act ed upon, when the present road law was made a law of the State of Geor gia- J USTICE.
