He bad one given to him a few days ago which was so large that It required only about three hours of his valuable time, to walk around and scramble over It—but he comprehended the mag nitude ol his subject when he wrote the local about it. The Atlanta OoustiiuUoa says > “ About fifty years tg >, considerable pare copper was discov ered on the surface ot lands recently owned by Judge lugglr, situated In Greene ccuuty, about three milas trorn Union Point.

According to its present measurement aad estimated val ie, p. is placed at $-300,000.” Lril. This j articular quality of the human mind, or heart, is in gfeat demand at this time. PlucK and backbone are both essentials for the Georgian ol to-day. Colorado, Texas, California and Kansas, j are being fought after like the gold of Ophir, and the young men, middle aged and hoary beaded, are alike on the move in search ol greener fields and fresher pastures.

Many people who are in splendid circum stances (though not wealthy), havitg comfortable loines, good ot ctards, and usat.y conveniences for living which time and labor have been ex pended in procuring, are ready to ‘ pull up" and join the procession oi emigrants, composed ol persons ot all ages, bound for some new country where their deluded imaginations aad unground ed hopes have led them to believe that they must necessarily grow rich without effort or labor. Some cl these will better their condition, per haps ; others wiil curse the day when they re solved to change their location; and when in ad vanced years, too late lor retraction of mifguided j steps, will feel the full force of the truth ot the old adage—" It is always best to let well enough alone.” All this applies more peculiarly to negroes than the white, people, and yet to both classes. There is in the human heart a perpetual and restless longing tor change, and where adversity overtakes us and troublous skies hang heavily clouded over us, the impulse of our nature is to travel; to seek anew home; to engage in some j other occupation and associate with new and un ! tried people. Ordinarily, however, he who has the grit to stick to his “ first love” succeeds best. But this continual moving and shuttling in this world Is a money-losing investment. This ljfe is very much as we make it after all. Someone has said: Life is shoit and full of cares, The end is always nigh, We seldom halt began to live, Before we’re doomed to die. And certainly nothing could be inore truthful. We have ndspare moments in this life to 6Pend iu walking up and down the earth, in search ot better homes, richer landu, and a belter country. We should settle down for good at once, laugh at the fabulous tales of immense and princely for tunes being accumulated in a few days, honestly and pleasantly look after our own business, culti vate the spirit of contentment, and show true grit by the manifestation of true sense. General R. E. Lee.—A writer in the Richmond Enquirer, General Dabney H. Maury, corrects 6evera! errors that have appeared recently in the reviews ol English magazines of “Cooke’s Life of Tee.” and a review iu the Standard of an article in the Euir ,,ar K‘ We extract the following, which we regard as authentic, in regard to the forces employed by Lee and Grant in the great battles from Spotsylvania to Richmond : “ It is well established by the Federal records that the losses of Grant between bis first collision with Lee’s army and the defeat which he sustained at Cold Harbor, amounted to 1:15,000 men ! Swin ton and other careful histoiians so state it. The Edinburg rev ewer places the total losses of the •my of the Potomac at a ranch lower figuie. While he states the nun:bars of the army of North ern Virginia at 70.C00 > ffetives, we believe that Geneial Le • did not hhve 50,000 nrn n on any one t attle-tit Id during the campaign. “Agiin the army of Grant at the Appomattox is stated in the Review at 150 000—that of Lee at 40,0t0. Whereas General Lee himself assured the writer of this that on the 2d of April, 1865, his whole force of all arms amounted to oniy 32,C00 men, while Grant staled to General Lee that on the same date his effective force of all arms num bered no less than 220,000 men. “General Lee further stated to me that when he surrendered at Appomattox on the 9.h of April, after seven days ot hard marching, fighting and starvation, he had only about eight thousand ef fectives left to bear the battle-flags tor the last time of the grandest army which ever yet has up held a righteous cause, and illustrated the man hood of a noble race." Anecdote of Lord Brougham —Among some English stories of queer betting is the following of Lord Brougham: Brougham contrived to make a holiday pay for itself by the exercise ot a little shrewdness. It was in his college days, that, by way of seeing a little life, he went one autumn to Dumfries, in order to make one at the Caledonian Hunt meeting. Ac cording to the then custom, everybody dined at a table d'hote, and after dinner betting set in. Bro ugham offered to bet the whole company that none of them would write down the manner in which he meant to go to the races the next day. Those who accepted his challenge wrote down their conjectures, and Brougham wrote down his iutentiou oftiaveling in a sedan-chair, a mode of conveyance no one had hit upon. To the races he went, an immense crowd seeing him safely chaired to the course. The bet was renewed as to the manner of his return to Dumfries, the accep tors taxing their wits to imagine the most im probable method of traveling. Brougham had calculated upon this, and won the doubie event by returning in a postchaise and two. Adams.—The Atlanta Constitution says: Gos sip mentions Charles Francis Adams a9 the prob able Democratic candidate for Governor of Mas sachusetts. Young John Quincy Adams, his son, has been the chronic Democratic gubernato rial candidate there for long years. It will be quite kind in the old man to relieve the son, and take the periodical political thrashing this time. We know ol no more exhilerating announce ment than being a candidate for office with no possibility of success. It is all fun. Massachu setts has a square Radical majority of somewhere near 50,000. John Quincy Adams has grown jolly butting his bead against it. Charles Francis Adams is probably out of amusements, and wants to be jolly too. We wish him great luck. The novelty of studying the philosophy of defeat is something to be hankered after and profitably enjoyed. The luxury will be complete when the defeat is admin istered by the prince of nature’s noblemen, the great and the good—Beast Butler. Happy Adams! Hiram Powers, the disticguished American sculptor, ditd in the city of Florence last Friday morning, ag*>d 08 years. He was a native ot Ver mont. The days of his earlier manhood wi re t-pent in Cincinnati, where be was employed at a variety of callings until the year 1535, when hav ing acquired a limitsd knowledge ol sculptor's art he removed to Washii gton, aud soon atier to Italy, where he continued to reside up to the day of his death, achieving triumphs which gave him a world-wide feme and placed him in the front rank of the profession to which he was so long and ardently devoted. Among the many works of merit he produced the Greek Slave was the master-piece. He executed statues of Washing ton, Calhoun and Webster; and busts of John Qaioey Adams, Jackson, Chief Justice Marshal), Edward Everet and Martin Van Buren, with many others of less note. U nprci i table Acqciantakces. —There is not the least necessity of frittering awsy much time on people who ate neither profitable, congenial, or in any way companionable, although there Is an immense amount of time wasted in that man ner, and a deal of seoldiDg done in consequence. Those who have nothing to do but chatter about in easy chairs, bonbons, and gossip about their neighbors, will soon seek more welcome quarters if one continues the dnties and labors of the day regardless of their presence. The atmos phere of industry does cot harmonise with chron* jdlenes#, The Toeal Department of si Xews- Pnper. The local news le the most Important feature of a newspaper, eays Colonel Calkins in his address before the Wiscocein Editorial Convention, for the vaet majority of readers. It is like social gos sip, and it has a pungency and attraction, if well told, which a record of the most important and re mote events does notpessess. If the reader knows personally all about the facts which are described, so much the better; lor the account which he, himself beheld, or the report of a meeting which he atu nded, or in which he participated, will te perused by him with greater Interest than he would feci in the most thrilling description by an eye-witness of the capture of a Modoe chieftain. A man wiil read with absorbing interest every line in a description ot a fi.e at wh cn he w.i --p esen', and the minu’est details of which he a - kuor; aud it tic can fin.l an u iieuce to li-ten be will read it to them aiond. I h - to. k per* in subduing the fire, the account v,p.j •ess a double cbaim and ravishment, a. and t,i- \e will kindle, and his cheek will vjuw as be figh's anew iu print the battle with the Himes. To see in print what his eyes siw occur, yield- an inde scribable pleasure to the human mind. A3 we live egain in our children, we live over again the eventful moments which the newspapers repro duces. The talk of the streets, the counting-room, tha shops and social circles is the best material for the local editor. The ablest editorial article on the events of peace and war will p?ss unread, and without comment, while a paragraph about trip lets born in the humblest neighboring family will be in everybody’s mouth. Every man takes a greater interest in the absence of his friend or ac quaintance from home than he would in the ab sence of the Queen ol Great Britain from her do minions. A bank in New York may become in solvent and ruin thousands, but we will barely mention it, while if a store across the street is locked np by the Sheriff, we wiil talk about it all day. An army may be slain in battle on the other sidu ot the globe without exciting one of our emotions; but we will all get up to look, and be shaken by a tempest of feeling, if a drunken roustabout is knocked down a-ouud the corner. We feel an interest in the world around us far deeper ard more enduiing than that which we feel in the world at large. Our home, domestic won der is the real nine days’ wonder. This quality in human nature gives to the local department of the newspaper an attraction, if it is well edited, which no other department can acquire. Noble Wonps —Dr. Chalmers beautifully said, “The little that I have seen in the world and known of the history of mankind teaches me to look upon their errors in sorrow, not in anger. When I tage the history of one poor heart that has sinned and snfiered, and represent to myself the struggles and temptations it passed through— the brief pulsations of joy j the tears of regret; the feebleness of purpose ; the seorn oi the world that has little charity; the desolation of the soul's sanctuary, and threatning voices within; health gone , happiness gone—l would faip leave the or ring soul of my fellow-man with Him from whose hands it came.” There is something in dreams after all. A Western man dreamed that his brother’s head was cat off without losing a drop of biool, and the next day he learned that his brother had been removed from a postmastership, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS."
