THE STANDARD & EXPRESS. s. H. SMITH A ('<>., Proprietors. CARTERSVILLE, GA. ] THURSDAY, JUNE stii, 1573. Another large and destructive fire has taken place in Boston, causing the loss of many millions of dollars. The origin of the fire is not known, having occurred when discovered in the top story of a building devoted to wood work of various sorts. The question, however, is pertinently ask ed, are the internationals abroad?— We remember that they were charg ed with the burning of Chicago, and now the intimation is made that Bos ton is sharing their attentions. The loss is heavy, and the insurance offi ces suffer largely. Wonder if they cannot prevail upon Southern compa nies again to increase rates? 4 We publish below, from the Chica go Mercantile Journal, Shipping and Commercial Register, an interesting article in relation to the mineral re sources of Cherokee Georgia, to which we call the attention of the reader. Time and again have we endeavor ed to set forth the very many advan tages presented by this immediate section of country, unequalled, as we verily believe, in all respects, by any poition of the whole South, for the inverdnu nt of capital by enterprising men; and we are sure that only a lit tle time will elapse before the capital will come, and this most magnificent n ; on begin its course of develop men . Our own people are turning their attention to the subject, audit is daily demanding more and more examination. Not only so, but gen tlemen from a distance are exploring its resources, and, captivated with the surprising treasures which lie in tin* hills in this vicinity, are talking of furnaces and large and valuable operations in the way of iron, man ganese, Ac., Ac. Mr. P. P. Peck, for mer agent of the Colorado Agricul tural .Society, for the collection of a cabinet of minerals from the whole territory of Colorado, for the Society, and also assayer for the territory, un der the appointment of Gov. McCook, and skilled in metalurgy and mirter ology, is now here, and, with others, is making investments with a view to the working of a furnace, and pos . ibly to the making of steel. More men and more capital will come, and only a short time is necessary to more than realize the expectations which those who know this region entertain of its not uncertain or exaggerated future.- Those who have already gone into this interest with their money are more than satisfied with their investments, and are realizing per cents, far beyond any derived from banks, stocks, railroads, or cot ton factories. One of the best loca tions fora large furnace, adjoining an inexhaustible bed of the most excel lent ore, and with water, wood, and coal convenient, and immediately on the State Rail Road, is just here at Cartersville, and we understand will, in a short time, be occupied. In this connection, we advise all of our citi zens who have money to invest to examine into these great interests. — We are glad to see that this region Is eliciting a very general and particu lar notice from a distance, as is evi denced by the frequent strangers in our midst, and the attention which it is beginning to attract farther North. To one and all, we simply say, “Come and see.” TIIE SOUTH. A COUNTRY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, RICH IN IRON, COPPER, GOLD AND DIAMONDS. Few sections of the country present greatev attractions than the mineral regions of Georgia, embracing, as it does, almost all the northwestern por tion of the State, commonly called the Cherokee region, once the home of that tribe of Indians. Here na ture has lavishly scattered her gifts. In this section are found immense deposi ts of iron of the finest quality— the brown hematite, the magnetic, the specular, and in fact all the vari ous kinds of the very best quality much of the iron so pure that the blacksmith can take it in his forge and make a horse-shoe direct from the ore. Surrounding the mines are immense forests of timber, to supply the char coal, while the limestone for the flux is right at hand. THE GOLD FIELDS OF GEORGIA have been known and worked long before the discovery of California, and many of the mines have been ex tremely profitable to the owners.— From one alone, according to Prof. Stephenson, the assayer at the United States mint at Dahlonega for about thirty years, in a late publication en titled the “Geology of Georgia,” about tw o tens have been washed out of the creek flowing through or from it, or nearly a million and a half of dollars’ worth. Throughout this sec tion, the gold region, are numerous rich veins, while the deposits in ma ny of the rivers have yielded and still yield fabulous amounts. Here, too, DIAMOMDS, SILVER, COPPER, MAR BLE AND ALABASTER are found, waiting only the invest ment and judicious use of capital to develop. The want of capital caused by the war has prevented many of these interests from being developed. THIS SECTION resembles the Middle States in char .acter of soil and climate, except that the summers are cooler and the win ter&sjmlder than the more Northern States; the lands are fertile, produc ing all the products of Virginia and Pennsylvania—accessible by railroad to nearly every point at small ex pense, and where the necessaries of life are comparatively very cheap enjoying a climate celebrated for its salubrity., the purest of water and air. There exists no reason why capitalists and speculators should prefer the dangers of an uncivilized and new country in the new Territories of the West, when a more certain and invit ing held for profitable investment presents itself here, near at home, at all times accessible at trifling cost, and where the products command a ready market at home, saving trans portation and the immense expense incurred in carrying on enterprise in anew country. SPECIMENS of minerals, recently shown to many persons here of long experience in mining in the rocky mountain re gions, have awakened considerable interest in making further investiga tions. In view of the closer alliance of Chicago and the West with that section of country, which the railway connections have made, the subject becomes one of great importance here. The following, from the Atlanta Plantation, we consider well worthy of more than ordinary attention, and should address itself to the good sense of the people of the South. They are, however, doing all they can to in crease the cotton crop as largely as possible, and the present year’s ope rations may possibly yield 0,000,000 bales. What if the price of cotton, by excessive production, should be broguht down to the cost of produc tion? Where, then, are the profits? and where the money to buy the fifty million bushels of corn? Every man in the South should carefully study the cotton problem. To aid in the right understanding of the question, we copy the following from the Annual of the New York Daily Bulletin—a commercial paper of high standing: Average Crop. Season of Value of Crop. Price. Bales. 1871 and 1872 - - *266,317,000 19c 3,014,000 1870 and 1871 -- - 363,119,000 13 4,302,000 1869 and 1870 -- - 288,212,000 20 3,122,000 1868 and 1869 - - - 270,409,000 24% 2,366,000 1867 and 1868 -- . 235,326,000 20 2,519,000 The cotton crop year before last was 1,348,000 bales larger than that of last year; and yet, strange to say, it brought into the country for cotton exported, and into the pockets of the producers, less money than a crop which was about one-third less in quantity. How many acres of land, tons of costly fertilizers, mules, labor ers, bushels of corn, and thousands of pounds of bacon, went all for a bad purpose in producing this excess of our great staple? We see it stated In the public prints that cotton-planters want to purchase fifty million bushels of corn a year from tiie West. Which is the better farm economy, to raise nothing but cotton, say twenty bales, and sell that at ten cents a pound; or raise only ten bags and sell that at twenty cents a pound, and, at the same time, produce grain and meat enough to supply all that work on the plantation ? Study the above figures. You will see that a small crop of 2,366,000 bales brought $270,409,000 —an average of twenty-four and a half cents a pound; while the big crop of 4,362,000 bales sold at thirteen cents. Who can re fuse to be instructed by the light of these facts? Is it impossible for planters to adopt any plan of concert not to over-stock the cotton markets of tl*e world ? It is easy to see where their great interests lie. Diversified agriculture, so as to have the cotton crop clear profit on a year’s industry, would be a great improvement on their present system. [Corespondence of the Atlant Herald.] CARTERSVILLE. ACWORTII FLOURISHING —CARTERS VILLE COOL AND CALM—A CHURCH FAIR—POOR BANJO. Cartersville, Ga., May 28,1873. A man learns a great deal from travel. I find that it is recorded here on the fence corners and in public places, that General John B. Gordon takes Simmon’s Liver Regulator; and it is placarded in places equally as public, that Alex. H. Stephens in dulges in the same beverage. I won der if being out in the “Sun” so much is the cause of his resorting to this peculiar drink? My trip along the Western A At lantic Road to this point was rather pleasant, and without delay or acci dent. 1 traveled with Mr. R. L. Hargis, anew passenger conductor, appointed by General Mcßae to fill the place of Captain Wyly, who is now’ yard master. I found him an affable gentleman, in every w r ay worthy of the promotion he had re ceived. If all of the appointments of General Mcßae give the same uni versal satisfaction that this of Wy lie’s has I predict that the people along the line of the Western A At lantic Railroad will be thankful to the lessees for the extension of Mc- Itae power. A glimpse of Ac worth | from the car windows convinced me that she was full of life and prosperi ty. 1 noticed as we passed two hand some brick churches already comple ted, and a third which bid fair to be equally as fine, under erection, be sides a two story brick school house and many private residences, which would do credit to a much larger town. With hopes that she might, will grow and ever prosper I left Ac worth behind. At about II j o’clock a. m. I was deposited on the plat form at Gartersville. After having satisfied an appetite which was whetted by railroad trav el, at the Bartow House, I commen ced my perigrination about the town. The first thing 1 noticed was that when the mail opened, that the Her ald was sought after more earnestly and read with more interest than any of the Atlanta papers. In loung ing about town and chatting the merchants, I found them all in good spirits and well pleased with the trade they now enjoy and better pleased with the prospect of the fall trade. They think that the grain crop will be large, and that the city will not grow much this summer, very few buildings in contempla tion. . Hearing that an ice cream festival was to be given under tne auspices oi the Methodist Church to-night, and that the proceeds of the sales were to be appropriated to the aforesaid Church for the purpose of building a fence around the building, I at once changed my programme so as to at tend and dispense some small charge and more small talk. The festival was in evey sense of the word a succes. Nothing could have been more gratifying to a man of generous heart, than the scene there witnessed. Many of the oldest and most influential citizens were pres ent and bestowed their charity freely , cheerfully and generously to the great joy of the ladies who engaged in the noble cause. The ice cream venders in their picturesque dresses were most assuredly “things of beau ty.” The refreshment tables of M is ses W , M , and P , had around them a crowd of beauties with bright eyes and such persuasive eloquence that every man was tempt ed to patronise them whether he cared for the ice cream er not, just for the purpose of being waited on by such entertaining ladies. Prominent among the belles of the evening were the Misses S ,and Miss W . The company of the last of the three mentioned was in such demand that she was offered $5 per hour for her time. The initiation into the Bor eas Society was very laughable and afforded a great deal of amusement to the members, but not much fun to the person taking the pledge and oth er initiatory steps. 1 would rather be compelled to stay a week at Chat tanooga than to go through that or deal again. Miss M deserves much credit for the valuable assist ance she rendered in converting so many unbelievers into the Dorcas faith. After leaving the festival I “put me in my little bed” to dream of the pleasure that the evening afforded me. But finding that I could not sleep for the sympathy that I felt for a banjo across the way, which was sorely persecuted by one of the Car tersville clerks, I arose, donned my clothes and commenced puffing a ci gar and the Cartersviile folks. This letter is the result. My cigar is out, the serenade finished, aud lam wea ry. Goodnight. Jingle, TIIE NEWS IN GENERAL. The Sioux Indians attacked the troops at Fort Lincoln the 7th. George Fracis Train is master of 20 languages. “Kno cos of axcion,” was the writ ten verdict of a Monticello (Iowa) ju ry. A young husband handed his wife a dozen buttons, the other day and asked ber to put a shirt to them. Carl Sehurz’s wife has come into possesion of a legacy of $170,000, left her by an uncle in Germany. It is rather cool in a San Francisco paper to advise a young man to “go West.” The wheat crop of Missouri, south ern Illinois, Kansas, and lowa is very promising. Captain L). G. Wylie has been ap- j pointed Yard Master at the State i Road, vice J. G. W. Mills. i W. C. Bibb, of Georgia, has paten- j ted a steam wagon for plantation and common road uses. Colonel McKenzie on the 18th at tacked a band of Kicakapoo Indians, ] and followed them across the line in to Mexico. It is thought there will be five thousand hostile Indians under arms on the Upper Missouri this slimmer. Mr. Eugene Verdery, an old and honored citizen of Richmond county died last Tuesday, aged 67 years. . The President has tendered the Russian mission to Ex-Governor Jewell, of Connecticut and he has declined it. Despondent Western agriculturists talk of establishing an eye and ear infirmary for their potatoes and wheat. The peach crop in this section, so far as we can ascertain, says the Bain bridge Sun, is as good or better than usual. The New r York Tribune is to have a new r building, nine stories high, surmounted by a lofty tower, the whole to cost $650,000. A California firm recently shipped a hundred bales of cotton to Liver pool, being the first consignment of California grown cotton. The Modocs, fifty men, women and children, have surrendered un condtionally to the U. S. forces un der Gen. Gillum. A nother bed of needle ore has been discovered in Cartersville. It really appears as of this thrifty little city is built upon a foundation of inexhaus tible riches. —Savannah News. Mrs. Taylor, on the 16th, deeded over thirty-three acres west of Nash ville, the property known as Taylor Hill, to Bishop McTyeire, for a site for the Vanderbilt University. Mr. John H. Medlock, youngest brother of the editor of the Sanders viile Herald, died on the 22d ins tant aged twenty-seven years. He leaves a wife and four little children. Married, in Canton, Ga., on the 27tli inst., by Rev. W. T. Thornton, Pastor of the Baptist Church of Gainesville, Dr. R. B. Adair, of Gainesville, and Miss A. V. Moss, of Canton. More emigrants have readied America during the last three months than during the year 1872, and not a third who intend to come this year are yet h ere. A recruiting office for baldheaded volunteers, for the Modoc w r ar has been opened at Waynesboro, Geor gia. Three recruits were enlisted. The crop prospects are flattering in the neighborhood af Gainesville. The late rains and warm sunshine are having the desired effect upon the cotton crop. New York, May 30.—There were twelve new epizootic cases among the horses on the Coney Island rail road yesterday, making eighty-four now sick, and several new cases are reported on other Brooklyn roads. Old John Robinson admits news boys free to his circus. He finds about a thousand newsboys in every little vilage, and be thinks the press is getting to be the largest thing in the w’orld. Decline in Louisiania Agri culture. —Os Louisiana land there is now one million of acres less in cultivation than in 1860—a loss which is estimated in production annually at $100,000,000. The Albany Express estimates that about SIO,OOO worth of ladies’ dresses have been ruined in that city during the past year by vitrol thrown upon them in the street, and there is no clue to the scoundrels who commit the outrages. Arkansas owes $12,000,000 on ac count of railroads, yet the railway managers secured from the last Leg islature an outright grant of all the public lands of the State, 1,850,000 acres. Cheering news comes to us from Louisana. Judge Durell has an nounced his determination to resign, and the New Orleans Republican proposes that he shall be given a for eign mission. Asa general thing, says the Sum ter Republican, crops are doing well in this section. Cotton is small but healthy looking; corn splendid, and fair promises of abundant yield; oats and wheat crops better than they have been for years. President Elliott, of Harvard Col lege affirms “that there is a funda mental pervading difference between all men and all women, which ex tends to their minds as to their bod ies.” Professos Agissiz adds that they need a different diet. Edgefield is agitating the question of a wooden railroad from that town to the nearest depot on the Columbia and Augusta railroad, a distance of six miles. The “facts and figures” look plausible, and indicate great success for the undertaking as an investment. Distressing Suicide.— Evansville Idn.j May 28.—The Journal has ad vices from Hawkinsville, Ivy., of the suicide, on Tuesday, of Mrs, Heddon, an elderly lady of high respectability. The act was induced by ill health" arid depression caused by the death of a daughter who left three young children dependent on her. She strangled herself by wind ing a trot line several times about her neck. The Atlanta Herald says the les sees of the State road at their late meeting not only unanimously sus tained Gen. Mcßae, but enlarged his powers and strengthened his au thority, and that in the exercise of that authority he dismissed several officials of the road as soou as the lessees had acted. It says that the lessees also sustained Mr. Scofield, and decided that the road should purchase his irou as long as he fur nished good iron. It also states that Mr. Waitzfelder—formerly Gov. Brown’s partner—purchasing agent of the road in New York, has resign ed his place. The Augusta Constitutionalist an nounces its suspension. It will take nine hundred bales of cotton to pay for the guano used this year in Dawson county, Georgia. The authorities of Louisville are taking active sanitary precautions against cholera. One of Bibb’s dirt road steam wag ons is to be run regularly between Nashville and Pulaski, Tennessee. A party of Cuthbert boys caught twenty-eight ’possums one day re cently. A train on the Memphis and Little Rock railway was stopped for an h<*ur on*- day recently by the multi tude of caterpillars on the track. The appearance of the troupe of genuine Southern plantation negroes, known as ‘The Jubilee Singers,” in London has awakened great enthusi asm in that city. The following conundrum origina- j fed with a gentleman in this city: “Why is Captain Jack not immor tal? "Because he can be (Canby) kill ed. Next.—Savanah News. An ingenious Yankee in Paris has, it is said, perfected a spark and cin der arrester for locomotives, which it is claimed works well, and has been placed on a leadiug French railroad. Mr. Charles Wallace Howard, of Bartow 7 county, is spoken of as Com missioner from Georgia to the Cen tennial Convention, vice Col. Thom as Hardeman, resigned. Judge Tucker, of Colquitt county, is the father of thirty children—one of whom, Daniel by name, is not al together unknown to contemporane ous fame. Exempting Church Property. —The question of exempting church property from taxation is up before the Constitutional Convention of Ohio, and an effort will be made to limit the amount exempted to 85,000 or SIO,OOO for each church. ANNEXATION OF MEXICO. A Washington special to some of the Nothern and western papers says there is very little reason to doubt that the Administration is exceed ingly anxious to bring abont the an nexation of the northern provinces of Mexico. This is about the season for Carters ville, or some other thrifty town to rise and whoop fora railroad connec tion w ith Chicago or a ship canal from San Francisco to Cousin John Thrasher’s at Norcross. We are in favor of internal improvements first and foreign wars afterwards. — Savan ah News. A man out West who married a widow has invented a device to cure her of “eternally” praising her form er husband. Whenever she begins to descant on his noble qualities, this ingenious No. 2 merely says: “Poor dear man! how I wish he hadn’t died; and the lady immediately thinks of something else to talk about. Rapid Transit in New York. —Among the many plans for rapid transit in New York the latest is a system of traveling sidewalks. The plan is to build an edless movable platform on an elevated tramway. The motive power being from large stationary steam engines under ground. The sidewalk is to bo per petually moving up one side of a street or avenue an dow T n another at the rate of nineteen miles an hour. Passengers are to be taken on or off the platform by means of transfer cars, without stopping the move ment of the sidewalk. The First Flour of the Sea- SON.—The Chattanooga Times of Tuesday says two barrels of new flour from Augusta, Georgia, arri ved in the city Sunday night, and were sent on their way on the Pas senger train by Major J. R. Harris. One of these is destined for St. Louis and the other for Chicago. Major Harris composed the follow ing letter, acknowledging the receipt of the flour, and notifying the Geor gia railroad of the shipment: “The first fruits of the Southern Harvest, sent as a peace offering to the great Northwest, w 7 hich will be made into pan-cakes to be eaten with maple-tree ’lasses from New England, and washed down with snow water from the Rocky mountains—as Dan Dutch would say, ‘vot a coundry, vot a peoples!’” Marshal McMahon, the new so called President of France, in his ac ceptance of the office, promises “to continue the work as liberating the territory, restoring order, maintain ing tranquility, and the principles upon which society rests.” He does not mention the word republic, or lib erty, or equality once. There is an immense signification in this. He favors “order and tranquility,” and they are well known monarchical phrases Freedom is -always opposed under the pretense that it is opposed to them. They also believe that “society” can’t rest upon the princi ples of democracy, and hence, in what lie says about that, the old Marshal gives another stab at the Republic. It may possible be resus citated, but it is safe from this time to consider it gone. A SUGGESTION TO PURLLSERS. Mr. John H. Patterson, editor of the Post Office Bulletin, published at Cineinnatti, makes the following suggestion to newspaper publishers, which seem to us very timely and sensible, and which all thatclass will do well to attend to at once: I desire to suggest to all editors and publishers the importance of arrang ing their exchange lists before June 30th, so that they can present to their postmaster on that day a printed list of all the publications with which they intend to exchange in the fu ture; giving the name of thepublica tion, the place of publication, and whether daily, weekly, tri-weekly, monthly or quarterly. By so doing they will greatly aid post office offi cials in making the proper entries in their books "and in making out correct bills for postage. Unless this is done postmasters wiil experience a great deal of unnecessary trouble in examining exchanges, and editors will be subject to great annoyance in having incorrect bills presented for payment. England’s Estimate of Lee.— An able article on Robert E. Lee, in the Edinburg Review, contains the following: “The day will come when the evil passions of th * great civil strife will sleep in oblivion, and North and South will do justice to each other’s motives and forget each other’s wrongs. Then history will speak with dear voice of the deeds done on either side, and the citizens of the whole Union do justice to the memory of the dead, and place above all others the name of the great chief of whom we have writen. In strate gy mighty; in battle terrible; in ad versity, as in prosperity, a hero in deed, with the simple devotion to du ty and the rare purity of the ideal Christian knight, he joined all the kingly qualities of a leader of men. it is a wonderous future, indeed, that lies before America, but in her an nals of years to come, as in those of the past, there wiil be found few names that can rival in unsullied lus tre that of the heroic defender of his native Virginia, Robert Edward Lee.” The Concentrated Vegetable Sfecific is a true purifier of the human blood.

From the period when surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead of wounds to the present wide-awake age, the medical pro fession has often unwittingly taken side with Disease in its conflicts with the human sys tem. Even yet, in spile of the teachings of centuries of experience, some physicians be lieve in depleting their patients, already se riously exhausted by sickness, with powerful evacuants, emetics, salivants, cautharidal plasters, of the lancet. But, providentially, public intelligence is ahead of these medical fossils, who belong, of right, to the era of the Crusades! That powerful ally of nature in its warfare with the causes of sickness, Ilostet ter’s Stomach Bitters, has opened , the eyes of the masses to the paramount importance of increasing the vital strength of'the body when menaced by disease. They understand that when the atmospheric conditions are adverse to health, it is wise to reinforce the system with a wholesome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it to combat and repel the depress ing influence of an inclement temperature. It the constitutional and animal powers were always thus recruited in the presence of dan ger, the mortality from consumption, bron chitis, chronic rheumatism, &c., would be much less than it now is. The causes which produces croups, colds, quinsey, diptheria and catarrh seldom effect a strong and active vital system ; and of all vitalizing preparations, Hostetter’s Bitters has proved the most effi cient. It is not claimed that this standard tonic is a specific for lung and throat maladies as it is for dyspepsia, liver complaint and in termittents, but it is unhesitatingly asserted that it is the best known safeguard against all the atmospheric elements of disease.
