Tho Supreme Court, has just render ed its decision upon the questions ! brought up to and argued at the last term, connected with re-opening judg- j meats under the relief laws. For the benefit of our unprofession al readers, we give a statement of the ruling, as the matter is one of general interest and great importance. Two eases from Elbert county, White vs. Herndon, and White vs. Rucker; one case from Bryan county, Rems lieart vs. Haiu; one from Carroll coun ty, Connell vs. Vaughn; and one from Randolph county, Guuu vs. Janes, were before the Court. In the first two cases, the Judge re i fused to allow the motion to open the judgments. Brown and McCay, a rna ! jority of the Court, decide that he should have allowed the motion, and 1 let in nil cross actions, equitable de -1 feuscs, and rights that have accrued since the judgment, though judgments ! can not be indiscriminately opened for causes of legal defense, that it was the defendant s duty to have plead during the suit. In other words, judgments can be opened under the relief law, even though the statutory time has expired, and all equitable defense, and 1 11 relief defenses can' be plead. Judge Warner dissented, on the ground that it was unconstitutional. In the Bryan county case, however, i the Court would not open a judgment 1 to show a tender of Confederate mon ey; nor in the Carroll county and Ran | dolph county cases, to show great war losses, that were not the fault of the I plaintiff; though, if the defendant’s losses had been duo to the plaintiff, the judgment could have been scaled just i as a note. | These decisions about wound np the huge matter of relief. —Atlanta Condi ■ tution. Terrible Explosion. About eleven o’clock yesterday morn- 1 ing, our city was startled by a terrible concussion that shook the houses, rat- ; tling the doors and windows, aud! sounding like heavy artillery. It was ! occasioned by the bursting of the boil er at the steam mill of Wadsworth, Williams & Cos., near the Rolling Mill. At the time of the explosion Mr. S. Tom Rhudy, the engineer, and Frank, a son of James Duke, were in the en-; gine room. This was literally torn to! pieces, hardly two planks being left to-; gethcr. Both of Mr. Rliudy’s legs were broken below the knees, and we learn since that one of them has been amputated. He was otherwise nniu-; jured. Frank Duke was severely hurt in the stomach, and now li ;s iu a very critical condition. The main part of the mill is a wreck, being completely shattered, the walls burst out, and the second story, with its contents, fell down to the first floor. A negro boy, Charles, was the only per , son in the mill room. He was blown out through the door and to the dis tance of twenty feet; and. strange to I say, was not hurt. J Messrs. J. R Noble and Lewis Hall were in the basement, and not injured j at all’. About six feet of the boiler was j blown over Noble’s store, striking on the gable end of it, and tearing down : that end of the building. The head of the boiler was thrown some 200 yards, and lit in the street near Frank Rawls’ residence. Some Lo brick were throw n through the window of Mr. Col dough's residence, breaking tho window to ! pieces, but doing no other material damage. Little Benny Eve was slight ly hurt, and a mule and two oxen were badly scalded. t We have mentioned above all the j ; casualties that wo could see or hear of, I though it is truly wonderful that so ; few persons were hurt in such a scat -1 tering of fragments. The boiler, we ! i are told, was an old one, and the pro- ] ; prietors contemplated its removal at an early day.—Jfcttte Courier 1 8th. .■■«■■■_ L_■._■*» vi i l gi"» " 1... : SAM (fi r, 11. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor j captKitsv rlle.g i>ec, 23 b i>. lgw. ItSisieral Wealth of Georgia. A correspondent of the Atlanta Methodist Advoeate, |writes to th it paper as follows, concerning the Csr tecay Gold Mines of Gilmer county, hi this State. * I promised in iny last to toll yon more of the mineral wealth of this mountain region. In company with brother Barnett Wils< n, I visited the Cartecay Gold Mines. These mines are in Gilmer County, nine miles north east of Eilijay. They were wo-.ked | twenty years ago, but not thoroughly. ! The records kept nt the Dahlonega Mint show the receipts from the sur face mining there to be more than one hundred and seventy thousand dollars in dust and quartz. The “vein,” or “lead” of gold, lnu never been found, yet the indications are that it is no* far oft’. The gold lot now being work !ed is owned by Messrs. W. W. Leake & Brothers, who have tmployed Cap*. Teeler, an educated and practical mi ner, to develop the lead or vein. The Captain has had 12 years’ experience in California mines, as well as experi ence in the mines of his native country, Prussia, and after two weeks’ work in clearing up and making ready for the search, feels confident of suect.ss. Af ter dinner at the miners’ cabin, where cooking is done in California style, 1 .u>ent two hours in looking through the mines. Some places were well dug up, and I was assured by the Captain t mt it would pay from two to ten pen nyweights per day to the man to wash all this earth again. I procured here in my first mining experience, half a pennyweight of gold. I obtained also, some fine specimens of copperas, (sul phate of iron.) in quartz, and return ed fully satisfied that the gold of that land was good. Other mines have ! been opened along the White Path, and when tho right of “claim” is adjusted, these will be worked. Macon & Bnrxswicit Railroad. — The Macon <s' Brunswick Railroad, one of the most important now in the | process of construction in the State, is ; rapidly rearing completion. The Ha con T\l graph, mentioning this road, says: “Wo understand that parties were in the city yesterday for the pur- I pose of purchasing a silver spike, with I which to close the great work e*f the ; Macon & Brunswick Railroad. There j was on Tuesday last, a gap of only | three miles between the approaching forces of workmen, and by Saturday j we confidentially expect to announce j that tho last spike, and a silver one at j that, has beeu driven, and that the 1 Macon & Bruswick Railroad is ccm- j pleted. The interest of the entire Southeastern and central portions of Georgia have long been involved in the completion of this great work, and it will be hailed with joy by all classes of people in those sections. On Mon day next, Macon & Brunswick, like two sisters that have long been separated from tho family circle, will bound into each other’s arms, and what a gay time they will ha\e. Macon will tell Branny what a large town she is; what great merchants and commer cial men she has; how they will sup ply her with bacon, corn, and western produce; aud little Branny will tell Macon all about her flue fisheries, her magnificcut harbor, her lumber trade, and how she will keep her supplied with oysters, fish and other luxuries of the seaboard. Bravo, Mr con ! Bully, Branny ! A XcH-Vear’s Gift for ALL J!!

Address N. P. BOYER & CO., Publish ers, Parkesburg, Chester Cos., Pennsyl vania. *guThe Mobile Weekly Register, the oldest Democratic paper in the South, is said to have reached a larger circulation than was ever attained by any Journal South of Mason and Dix on’s line. It is full of interesting va lid matter, having an able Agricultural Department, presided over by ihe vet eran editor and successive agriculturist, Hon. C. 0. Langdon. Its General Lit erature, Poetry, Stories, &c., make it highly acceptable to the ladies. The coming year will opeu with a new continued story, of deep interest, | by one of the most distinguished wri ters of the day. The price w'as recent |lv reduced to $3.00 per year, which, 1 for so large a paper, (12 pages) is ex tremely cheap. Ccnmmnicaicd. - your paper to make u few rcinai k < n | reference to things in general: As we predicted, week before last, ; when we signed our name to the com munntion, which, prior to that time, had been written over tlio signature of “Tell-Tale,” the quid mine*, tattlers and busy-bodies, have played their parts “up to hull-gull;” they have nev er permitted an opportunity to pass when they could get to put in a single word in derogation of us, bat what they have done it; they say a great many things reflecting upon our character and if the respectable, intelligent por tion of the population of Cartersvilto did not look upon them with that de gree of contempt and scorn, which those engaged in back-biting, and tat tling so j unity merit, might, to s mie extent, injure us. To thoso who have been guilty of this low, mean and de grading conduct, and those alone, do we refer; the guilty ones, will no doubt, take all we may say in this communication to themselves —if they do, then we will have accomplished just what we have much desired; but, ou the other hind, vve dot wish those who arc clear of the charges to con strue this communication in such a way as to m ike it applicable to thems. Ives- We say it with feelings of regret and contempt, commingled, that tattlers of the feminine gender, have taken stock in this matter, and never grow weary of disgracing themselves, by trying to injure us! They have our sympathy, indeed, they ought to be pitied, rather than censured, by every one— sympathy tinctured with scorn and bitter contempt; such characters as these, are perfect nuisances; they are never satisfied unless they are breed ing strife and contention in a commu uity—they aie happy only when oth ers, through their instrumentality and chicanery, are made miserable; they rejoice in the downfall of any and all. and so strive to accomplish this end, by carrying news from one to another, pretending to be your best friend, and one in whom you can repose confidence —beware ! they are “wolves in sheeps’ clothing!” behold the “clo ven foot!” spurn them as you would the most venomous reptile that crawls upon the earth, for they arc by far, more dangerous! When wo signed our name to the communication, refered to, we did so, to keep innocent parties from being calumniated by these miserable tat tlers, and for the express purpose of giving those who wished it, an oppor tunity of obtaining redress—we reit erate it! We desire to say to those who have been making false and unjust re marks about us, that we shall hold them personably responsible, and re quire, and intend to have, a retraction, or the proof to substantiate any re marks which may, in the future, be made, reflecting upon our character. We will not heed what has been said in the past—we are willing to bury it in the sea of forgetfulness—but in fu ture we shall hold parties to a strict | accountably. As we have said before, we persona i ted no one, in the communications, ! and if parties considered them person al, it was caused by pangs of guilty conscience. We desire this whole matter hushed, which can be easily accomplished, provided tattiers cease their vile gossiping, and attend to their own business. Hoping to hear no more upon this very unpleasant ; subject, we remain, most respectfully, yours, J. T. GIBSON. The Ladfx Friend, for January.
