YOUNG, OK BARTOW. Rviltiovd Iron.—We have noticed for some time past that large quanti ties of railroad iron are transferred from our wharves to the Central rail road depot. Upon inquiry we learn that these rails were made in England and have been transported at least three thousand miles fiom the place of manufacture to Savannah.— The question then presented itself to our mind, why is this ? We have light here, in Georgia, an unlimited supply of iron ore which is oT a better quality, and one hundred per cent, richer, than almost any other iron mine in the worlel, and the coal at hand ready to emolt it. Why, then, not make our iron rails in Georgia ? Why should Georgia import iron when h«r mineral wiriran excel those- of any other country of the same exten in the world ? Can the capitalists in Georgia answer these questions satis factorily to themselves ? It seems to us that the railroad companies in Georgia would save in the item of transportation alone, in one year, a sufficient amount of money to pay the expenses of erecting iron works of sufficient capacity to manufacture aU the iron rails they may reqire for the construction and repair of their roads It is passing strange that men of means, possessing more than ordinary intelligence, will not take the necessa ry steps to develop the extraordinary resources of our State. Suv. Repub lican. ®t£p“ Mr. Henry W. Grady, late “King Hans”, of the Atlanta Constitu tion, has associated himself with Sir. M. Dwinell in the editorial department of the Rome Courier. JSaF* Mr. M. A. Nevin has bough 1 the Rome (Georgia) Commercial, and will issue the first number of his new series, in an enlarged form, Wednes day next. The Louisville Courier-Journal thinks it is no more dishsnorable for the lialiuji tu repudiate ifcn debt luau it was for the South to be compelled to repudiate its own. Ratification of the fifteenth amendment by twenty-eight States is necessary before that amendment can become a part of the Constitution. — Nine seen have ratified it, one (Georgia) has rejected it., and by the remaining seventeen no action has been taken. — Virginia, Mississippi and Texas wall have to swallow it “by the king’s com mand;” but even then its ratification by six others is exceedingly doubtful. Holst cn Coniebexce. —The Holslcn Annual Conference of the Method id Church Sc’ffih will bold its next session nt Abingdon, Va., commencing Oil the 22d of this month. Bishop Boggett we understand, is expected to preside. SST'A. T. Stewart, the millionaire merchant, says business was never bet ter than at present, and that lie never advertised us much before. Let our busines men make a note of this fact and advertise liberally if they would prosper. Decision. Judge Bryan of the United State Couait in Charleston, S. C., has made a decision to the effect that when a member of copartnership goes into bankruptcT, his copartners must go feaaifcrnptcy also, although they may have committed no act of bank ruptcy. After the State Road.—There is a current rumor in Atlanta, says the Con stitution, that the Central Railroad dompany has offered $50,000 per <mofci:h for the State Road, in advance. 'The Central Company is striving for a igrand monopoly of the Railroads P iGeergia* lut this move seems tc bo a&scsedhi&evi. TCm Piacii of Hogs.— The hog crop <©7 lower East Tennessee, this season, »ays Fixe Cleveland Banner, is greater titan at lias been in any one year since the war, bul owing to the fall-off in the corn •orep, there is but little doing m that line. We have hear ! of hogs being offered at3 cents gross, butbuy «* do not appear to take hold at these figures. The Cotton Tax Unconstitutional.— A circular has been issued from a law firm in Washington that it is now cer tain that the Supreme Bench, with one exception, is of the opinion that the cotton tax is unconstitutional. A ease is to be made in December, and no doubt is entertained of the result. Such a Decision will be worth fifteen millions of dollars to the planters and others in Georgia who have paid this tax. Homicide at Ringgold. —W. B. Whit more, Revenue Officer, shot and killed a man near Ringgold named Deadman a Whiskey distiller who attempted to escape from arrest. Whitmore was Arrested. Mob rumors are connected with the report, but we hare nothing luLgU-fi-—Marietta Journal. TOCoOA Leaving the beautiful vule of Nabbo-! chee, we arrived at Clarksville about ; noon; after partaking of reftcAhhientu j and enjoying a few hours rest, we ; were again on the road, cn route for foccoa Fulls. Although the weather was exeeed ■ '"V/y warm, our party were in good spirits, and our motto being, “Take j things as they come,” were ready to surmount all difficulties, and to “exer cise” whenever the orders were given; j which, by the wav, was not seldom, i our road not being one of the smooth- j 1 est. About 5 p. m., after a ride of nearly 12 miles, in a Southeast direction, from Cluik* sville, we approached our point of ucstiuaticn. First, we came , to the stream of Toccoa, which is cros sed by the road some fifty or seventy- ; five yards above the Falls. Hero this j little stream glides so quietly and j peacefully along, that, without previ- j ous knowledge, one would not dream ! of the fearful leap about to be made, j i Crossing the stream, we traveled a j short distance and began * steep, rug ged and circuitous descent of about half a milo in extent; gaining the J level, we proceeded another half, I suppose, {though lam not very accu-! rate i t gno -ring distance,) and with jov, we hailed our camping ground; which was indeed a romantic and pic- j turesquespot. Situatednearthebankof Toccoa, with the majestic hills over looking it, and the broad canopy of Heaven for a covering; what a sweet repose for the weary traveller ! But ice are not yet ready for repose; the object of our search is just beyond ! All hearts are eager! No rest for the j limbs, or slumber for the eyelids, un til it is attained. So we ll recross the stream, and fol low this path; on we go, 'twixt the mountain and the rivulet; here stop, ping to notice the peculiarities of some massive rock; there to listen to the gurgling of the water as it ripples mer rily over its stony bed; and again to j see if we recognized any name among i the number on this tree; thus numer ous objects in quick succession attract 1 the altei tiun, until ere we are aware of it, we are caused to stand still, over come with wonder, and admiration. — It seems indeed an enchanted spot.— I was most forcibly reminded of Mt. Horeb, where that venerable servant of God could not approach because' the ground was holy. Never before was 1 so impressed with the wisdom, knowledge and po ver of our Creator; and trust that the sight has given all I of us greater, more extended views of Jrinn wuose WOl'Kuuiusmp it is. Ouuia one of His creatures, who has been en dowed with reasoning and all the oth er faculties, which have been commit ted only to the human race, behold this blended see no of grandeur, sub-! libity and beauty, and not love, praise ' and adore Him ! I have not been gifted with descrip- j tive power as have some; and keenly , do 1 feel my unworthiuess and inabili tv to do justice to this Master-piece of Nature’s Workmanship. But, be i ing urged, will attempt to portray some of its most striking cimracteris- I J tics. The precipice over which the cata ract fails is a wall of solid rock, 185 feet in altitude, extending about 75 yards vi» !•*djor Side of the Fails, form ing a semi-circle. The siitao Os tins wall have the appearance of being as smooth and regular as if chiseled by some skilled architect. They are na ked and barren, excepting a few sprigs of ivy and fern, interspersed now and then, to relieve the monoto ny. On the brow of the precipice, and along the banks of the stream, there is a rich growth of trees and shrubbery of peculiar verdure. At the foot of the Falls the ground is level on the left bank of the stream, forming a suitable reception room for visitors, and the rocks, which are scat tered promiscuously around, serve quite will for chairs. Here, the trunks of the trees are covered for somo distance up with the names of persons who have visited the Falls, many of them written years ago. Just belo v the cataract, on the left of the stream, is a path loading up the hills, steep and riiggad, by which the top of the precipice may be attained. From this point, ladies and gentlemen stand ing below, appear as mci*e children. — The scenery below and around is de lightful to behold ! grand and lovely beyond all description. J his being the dry season, in the mountains, the stream of Toccoa is unusually small. As it leaves the rock j above, it falls in a silvery sheet, slight ly divided in the center by a projection of tho rock, about half way down, it, is changed into spray or snowy white- j ness, and softly falls into the quiet ba- j sin below, and indulges in a sweet, but I short repose, ere it begins its journey j 1 towards the sea. Gladly would we linger near thee, thou lovely Toccoa! Appropriately did the red. man christen thee, “The Beautiful;” but time forbids our lon ger delay; we must now visit thy sis ter, Tallulah. But never will thy! beauty, and thy loveliness be erased from our memories. The remember ance of thee will ever be as an oasis fn the desert of life. “On: cr THE Pae.ll. ” i The ropalatiou of the Globe. There is on the globe 1,288,000 of souls, of which 360,000.000 are of tile Caucasian I race. 552,000,000 are of the Mongol race. 100,000,000 are of the Ethiopian i race. 176,000,000 are cf the Malay race. 1,000,000 are of the Indo American nice. There are 3,612 languages spoken, and 1,000 different religions. The yearly morality of die globe is 333,333,333 persons. This is at the rate of 1)1%554 per day, 3,730 per hour, 62 per minute. So each pulsation marks the decease of some human creature. The average of human life is 33 years. One fourth of the population dies at or be fore the average of seven years. One-half at or before 17 years. Among 10,000 persons one arrives at the age of 100 years, one in 500 at tain the age of 90, and one in 100 lives to the age of GO. Married men live longer than single ones. In 1,000 persons, 95 marry, and more marriages occur in June and December than in any other months of the year. One-eighth of the whole population is military. Professions exercise a great influ ence on longevity. In 1,000 individu als who arrive at the age of 40 years, 42 are priests, orators, or public speak ers; 40 u v e agriculturists, 33 are work men, 32 are soldiers or military em ployees, 29 advocates or engineers, 27 professors, and 24 doctors. Those who devote their lives to the prolongation of that of others, die the soonest. There are 336,000,000 Christians. There are 60,000,000 Asiatic relig ionists. There are 160,000,000 Mohomme da ns. There are 300,000,000 Pagans. In the Christian Churches; 170,000,000 profes'. the Roman Catholic. 75,000,000 profess the Greek Faith. 80,000,000 profess the Protestant. Georgia Gems.— The Air Line Ea gle says thrse amethysts were found in Halt county lately. It is a cheap gem, but of late years li. s become quite fashionable, and sells much high er. It is composed of 48 per cent, stilicon and 55 1-2 oxygen and 1-2 per cent, of oxycle of magauese and iron, which gives it the beautiful purple color so much admired by the ladies It is also found in forayth arid Colum bia counties. Gooel specimens of mica (mica membrinacea,) from ten to twelve inches square, will sell from $lO to S2O per pound ! The mound builders used it for mirrors. One magnificent slab, dug from the vast Necropoh of Cireleville, measured 3 feet by 18 inches, suppos ed to have been mined from the mete mopliio region of Georgia. Who will be the fortunate discoverer of this mine of wealth ? A UKEAT TRUTH. TUe TiOUISVIUc Courier-Journal very truly says: “The negro question will not long give the (Southern States any serious practical trouble. If the negroes remain where they are, they wiil soon, by all the laws of nature, pass under tLe moral and political control of the white race, and if they go away, that it will be the last of them. Whether they stay or go, they wifi in a few years be very in considerable in numbers and next to nothing in influence. They are rapid ly approachirg extinction. Had their ears been prophetic, they might have heard, in the sound of the Lincoln proclamation, the solemn undertone of a m’ghty death-bell.” General Lee’s Courtesy to North ern Ladies. —A correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writ ing from the Virginia White Sulphur Surings, devotes a paragraph to Gen eral it E. Lee, rnCi that the Gen eral seems especially anxious to heal the wounds of the war. The Ci rres pondentsays: “Several ladies who were on a visit here at one time this season from a Northern State, appeared to be with out attention from their fellow-board ers. General Lee observed the fact, and desired some of his lady friends to cultivate their acquaintance. When these excused themselves on the ground that they did noc know their names, and were without introduction, the General approached several of these visitors, saying to ‘I am Mr. Lee —may I ask your name?’ And when this was given, he promptly presented tlum to his friends, who received them most cordially.” Washington, D. C., Sept. 12. South ern gentlemen who are visiting Cuba for the purpose of learning the true stale of affairs for their selves and friends, write encouragingly from Cardenas, under date of September Ist, saying: “The revolurion, I honestly be lieve, will succeed.” Alluding to out rages and destruction by volunteers, the writer says: “If the war continues six mouths, the Island will be almost uninhabitable, and even now, along the Eastern coast, people are on the verge of starvation. T he Happy Home. — Our genial friend, Mr. J. J. Toon, of tho “Christian In dex,” with characteristic enterprise has added anew feature to his fine religious journal in the shape of a lit erary monthly suppliment, called the “The Happy Home.” It will be sent complimentary to regular subscribers. Seperate copies will be fifty cents.— We wish our contemporary deserved success in this new movement.—At lanta Con. Oxecrd, Ga.— The quiet and pleas ant little town of Oxford, is looking up. Quite recently a number of persons have invested in real estate, and set tled there. The schools there are quite flourishing. Emory College opened two weeks since, with about forty news udents, and is doing quite as well as at any time before the war. Palmer Institute, Miss J. E. Lundie, Principal, opened with a full attend ance. We understand that this is one of the best schools in the State. Miss Lundie is an experienced and success ful teacher!—Atlanta Constitution. From the Macon Telegraph. Cli-eroli.ee and its Resources; BOUNDARIES —WATfclt POWERS— AGRICULTU RAL PRODUCTS —MINERALS, ETC., ETC! Cartebsvilef, Ga., August 10.—The : boundaries of this part of our State are ! Tennessee on the north, the Savannah | river on the east, the Chattahoochee on the south, and State'of Alabama-on j the west, «ud it was the last purchase | by the State from the Cherokee ladi | ans, and giving to Georgia its. present metes and boundaries. Its length ; from north to south is about 130 miles, l aid width from east to west 180. By reference to the State map it will be seen that it is beautifully diversified with mountain and valley, everywhere presenting to the eye a beauty and va riety of scenery rarely to be met with, and to that of the farmer a prospect which suggests thoughts of plentiful halves sand overflowing barns. As to | its streams, it is watered by theCliick j amanga, Chattooga, Notley, Hiawassee Taliula, Coosawattie, Oostanaula, Eto wah, Connesauga, Toccoa, Eilijay, and j Chattahoochee Rivers, with hundreds of thtir tributaries, on the sides of which lie vast extents of bottom lands, which in fertility of soil and variety of production are unsurpassed by any other region on the globe. Though this was the last settled section of the State, and even now only partially known, by its railroad and river facil | ities, even before the war it had won for itself the cognomen of the “Fland j ers of the South.” Who that ever traveled on the Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad, in days of yore, does not remember the large depots at Dalton, Calhoun. Adairsville, Kingston, Cass Station, Cartcrsville, Etowah, Alatoona, Ackworth and Ma rietta, filled to overflowing with wheat, corn, hay, bacon and cotton, which twenty daily trains could scarcely empty in time for the next crop ? And all this was accomplished under a primitive system of agriculture, the : avex*age production being upon low ; lands from twenty-five to fifty bushels jof corn, from fifteen to twenty-five ! bushels of wheat, and from fifteen to twenty bushels of oats. The produc tions of uplands was from ten to twen ty-five bushels of corn, and other crops were in proportion. Grasses, too, grow spontaneously waist and shoulder high, and red and white clover also, making fine pasture lands for cattle, without the assistance of guano, or any of the manipulated manures, con sequently we are anxious to see exper iments made at farming on strictly sci entific principles upon the best lands, and from the little we know of the matter we confidently predict a result not dreamed of by any of the people of the South. In 1859 or 1860, a gentleman living about four miles from this place raised an average cf 2,500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, and in other coun ties many planters raised ten bales of cotton to the hand, and larger crops of grain and pork than can be raised anywhere in Southwestern Georgia. Besides the cereals and cotton, the grape grows luxuriantly everywhere, and needs but culture to make the vinaj'oivE. nml like the rose with their luscious fruit. Peach es ami apples grow finely on the up lands, and the small fruits on all lands. Sheep raisiug may be made very prof itable, as the mountains abound in the wild pea and wild grasses, which afford an exc- llent pasturage during winter. Os the mineral productions of Cher okee Georgia there is no end. In Dade, Walker, and Whitfield counties there are extensive deposits of coal, sandstone, andiron. In "Walker coun ty there is gravel ore similar to that in Missouri. In Murray, Union, Gil mer, Fannin, Habersham, Franklin, Hall; Lumpkin, Cherokee, Pickens, Cass, Paulding, Folk, Carroll, Camp bell and Heard counties are the gold mines of Georgia. In these counties lodes and deposits have been extens ively worked—in a primitive way, to ! be sure; but they have produced en | ough to induce the Government to es ; tablisk a mint at Dahlonega, which was I in operation until the break ! h>g out U 1 the war. The most celebrat jed mines are the White Pain Oah ! tercay of Gilmer county, the Chesta ter, Chastain, and a number of others in Lumpkin county, the Sixes and Pasco mines of Cherokee, the Alatoona of Cass county, and the Villa Rica, Bonner and Owen mines of Carroll We have been repeatedly assured by practical miners, who have visited the Rocky Mountains and the mines in I Nevada and Idaho, that, with the im proved machinery and the introduction of sluice-washing for deposit gold, gold digging here could be made moro prof- I ituble than in California. It is, indeed, j a fact that there is scarcely a stream ! within the above named limits: where ; any one, with a common frying-nan | and a shovel, may not obtain gold en | ough to pay good wages. Statuary : marble has also been found in Pickens j county, and w T as extensively worked i before the war. There is also a ledge ; about four miles from this place.. Slate ; of a superior quality has been found jin Polk county, and Manganese is abundant in this (Cass) county. Iron ore abounds almost everywhere in this region, and from its proximity ! to coal, sandstone, and lime, and the | great water power—essential requis ites in the manufacture of iron—it would seem that nature had intended this as a great manufacturing center j —in fact, as a second Pittsburg. Be fore the war the Etow ah Rolling Mill and ten furnaces were in full blast, and they turned out about 250 kegs of nails, 10 to 20 tons of rolled iron, and between 75 and 100 tons of pig metal a day, beside hollow-ware and machinery castings fully equal to the demand. From these furnaces the rolling-mill at Atlanta was furnished with pig metal, as well as the several foundries in that city, Macon and Au gusta. All of these, with the excep tion of one, were destroyed during the war. Labor is cheaper here than it ever was before; and water privileges are so plenty that there could not proba bly be found a single place within the limits of Cherokee, Georgia that would be five miles from a stream of sufficient fall and water to turn a merchant mill. The scenery about the Etowah iron works, on the Etowah river is very grand. And in the heart of all this * 1 wild and beautiful country, 90 miles | south of Chattanooga, Tenn., and 50. miles north of Atlanta, live miles west jof the Etowah iron-works described i aoove, and two miles north cif the Et- I owali liver, situated in a fine valley, surrounded by towering hills, and on ! tlie Western and Atlantic Railroad, is the thriving little village of Cartersville, j spreading out like a tiny city, quite ! two miles square, and boasting already :of some 3,000 inhabitants. It has five churches—Presb\ terian and Metho dist, a third church building (Baptist) and two colored churches, (Baptis and Methodist), a fine large court-house I (being the county town) nearly com i pleted, two hotels, four select schools, | taught by thorough and highly educat ! ed teachers, a lyceum for young men, I end stores and shops of all kinds. The I surrounding country has fine lands for ■ agricultural products, as you may eas ily learn anv day from taking a peep into our large railroad depot, where may be found all kiuds of produce to ;be shipped off, such as wheat, corn, cotton, iron, slate, mt ngancse, etc., | etc.; and in summer, fruits to the dis- I ferent towns and cities South. In the depot, also, is our express and tele graph office; and who that has been a witness to the destruction of the place by “Sherman’s March to the Sea,” would have believed that all this could have sprung into existence in five short years, when there scarcely ns yet has been a peace. We do not have the midnight marauding Ku-Kluxes here. We boast of a better state of society, that frowns down such doings—a so ciable, a hospitable people, that with open arms will receive ail new comers to settle in their midst, even if they be “hated Yankees,” as they are elsewhere called. In climate we are greatly blessed. In summer the thermometer rarely rises higher than 90 degrees, and then the nights, even during the hottest weather, are always pleasant. In win ter the thermometer seldom falls be low 32 degress, and never to that dur ing more than three successive days. The average temperature of the winter mouths at sunrise is 42 degrees and at 12 m., 50 to 54 degrees. This part of Georgia is remarkable, too, for the va riety of its mineral neprings. Among those that have been improved are the Powder Springs, in Cobb county; Row land Springs, in this (Cass) county; Gordon Springs, in Gordon county; Catoosa Springs, in Catoosa county, and Cohutta Springs, in Murray coun ty. Beside these, there are hundreds of others scattered all through this Cherokee leorgia of greater or less local celebrity. A sulphur vein has lately been accidentally struck in this place by digging a well, and it bids fair to be a fine spring.

The Celebrated Bull Terrier Dog, “Zolly,” departed this life, September 9th, 1868. For animal courage he had no equal One that the wildest and most terrific dangers could never agitate, and he was never known to recoil before a hu man or animal foe; but no sounds of praise can now awake him from his si lent sleep; but let the voiceless gloom overshadow his lonely bivouac, and the moaning winds whisper songs of praise to his heroic valor. “ Veni Vidi Vici •” We fain would offer some words of condolence to the young man who seems to take the death of his “es teemed” and very intimate friend and dorg, “Zolly,” so much to heart, but we fear, in a case like this, that it would be but mockery and of no avail. How ever, we will venture to say to the young man, be of good cheer; do not despond, but look on the bright side, and bear in mine., that though “he cannot come to you, you may some day go to him.” We, in conclusion, most tenderly and affectionately assure the bereaved, that he has our sympathy, and we most sincerely hope th it his friends, those of them who are the best versed, and have the most fluent use of the canine language, will call upon him, and try and resign him to his sad fate.
