One more vacant chair —one more circle
broken- -another harp-string tuned iu Heaven.
On Tuesday, 12th of June, God said to his
aged servant, John Sankey Riden, “Come up>
higher.” Being seventy-six years of age, he
had lived out his “three-score years and ten,”
the prescribed limit of the inspired Psalmist
for man’s days upon earth. Having been
suffeiing for some years with a chronic dis
ease, his constitution gradually gave way,
until a short time before his death; he knew
that he must die, and was ready for the sum
mons, when the messenger should come. In
vain did kind physicians and hands made
tender by suffering, sympathizing hearts,
endeavor to stay the spirit’s flight. Jehovah
said it is enough—“ Enter into thy Master’s
joy.”
For many years Mr. Riden had been a
member of the M. E. Church, South, zealous
and useful, ever walking uprightly, fearing
God and eschewing evil; and as old age crept
on him and he felt that he was nearing the
“Other shore," the lamp of his life burned
more brightly, and daily his prayers ascended,
freighted with the incense-offering of a soul
fast ripening for Heaven.
The family altar, ever the sacred palladium
of a Christian household, was faithfully at
tended by him until his feeble frame could no
longer kneel, and a few nights before his
death he called his family around him and
repeated with them that prayer so compre
hensive of all human needs, the Lord’s
prayer, and then a heart-touching, earnest
petition that the loved ones he was leaving
without a father’s protection and support in
this world, might in the next rejoin him with
his faithful companion, who five years before
had preceded him to the “Home of the
Blest.” M. F. P.

Letter from One who Knows all About It.
Gainesville, Ga., June 23, 1877.
Editor Eagle: In a prospecting tour over
the foot-hills of Walker’s mountian, and the,
knohs of Wahoo, this week, in search of
metals and precious stones, I was more than
fortunate in discoveries of value. The.first
was a large body of sesqui-oxide of iron of 72
per cent. The second a good gold vein, and
near it the beryl, which was so much prized
in ancient times, and graced the crown of
King Solomon and the breast-plate of the
High Priest of the Jews for thousands of
years. The fourth was very fine manganese
ore, which has become so indispensible to the
wants of man in making paper, calico and
many other valuable uses. Then we pressed
on through tangled brush-wood and rocks,
and over gulches, creeks and brandies, with
the thermometer at 85° in the shade and 1100
in sunshine, which was anything but pleasant;
yet the diversified and magnificent scenery,
occasionally intensified by a grand view of
the Blue Ridge mountains in the distance,
was a great relief, and we went on without
regard to the heat.
About ten miles eastward we reached tho
celebrated Glade mine, which has been
worked as a deposite mine for the past forty
years for gold—and more than thirty dia
monds have boon picked from tho gold sands.
The mine contaius two thousand acres, and
lately was purchased by Mr. Jennings, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., for $30,000, who is rapidly
preparing to work it on a large scale, by the
modern California hydraulic process, by
caoaliug the creek about seven miles. He
will also develop the veins, and last, but by
no moans least, put a company of diamond
miners to rewash the sands from the gold
machines, exclusively for diamonds, by ex
perts. The alluvial laud of the farm amounts
to nearly two hundred and fifty acres—one
hundred aud fifty are rich in gold, about
thirty of which has been worked out. A
rather singular feature of this mine is the
existence of a dyke of chalcedony, which
crosses the branch close to where the finest
diamonds were found, though it has nothing
to do with the formation of diamonds. It is a
siliceous, precious stone, which the ancients
held in much esteem for engraving on and
cheap jewelry. Now it is of but little value.
About ono mile south I found a mountain of
titanium iron, and manganese, which appears
to be abundant. Plumbago also abounds, but
apparently not in quantities sufficient to be
of any value.
The ro-development of the existence of the
diamond is now assured, aud when the fact is
established beyond a doubt, then an excite
ment will obtain all over the North and West,
and Europe, which will bring scores and thou
sands of adventurers, and millions of capital
to give us a permanent prosperity; and in
addition to the wonderful effects of this new
industry, such a vast amount of labor will
develop many other industries of equal value,
and soon place our great old State iu the
proud position she deserves. Mark my pre
diction—this is no day dream. M. S.

RAIDS ON ILLICIT DISTILLERS.
Inevitable Ruin and Sometimes Death to
'The Violators and Vietims.
Some Reflections and Suggestions.
A Nashville dispatch, of the 22ud, says:
“During the past week revenue officers
hove raided the illicit distilleries in Putnam,
Jackson, White and other mountain counties,
and broken up fourteen distilleries. They got
into a fight, and killed one illicit distiller
named Johnson, badly wounded two named
Morgan, and captured twelve prisoners.”
On Friday last, Mr. Whitmore, Deputy
Revenue officer at this place, raided on Mr.
Dunnagan’s premises, a few miles from the
city, and after searching for some time, dis
covered what seemed to be a trap-door to a
vault, and upon opening discovered a dark
cavern. Procuring a light and descending,
he found a still complete and in perfect order
for making whisky. This cavern was near the
house, and the still so situated as that the
smoke from the furnace was conveyed through
the chimney of the dwelling. The apparatus
and other movables were seized and brought
to this city, and are lost to Mr. Dunnagan
and his heirs forever.
These discoveries, and others of a similar
character, that are being made all over the
country, almost daily, and the evil conse
quences to the detected violators of the law,
afford food for reflection and suggest a solemn
duty to the press and the law-abiding citizens
of every community. And it would seem, too,
that such bitter lessons and stern admonitions
to the violators, would cause them to pause in
their career of defiance and count the cost of
their folly.
Whether the law be harsh or not; whether
it be just or unjust, are questions that are
settled, and to discuss them in connection
with the violation, execution and punish
ment, would be the extremest nonsense. The
law is a law, pronounced by the supreme
power of the land, and its violation is a crime
just as theft or murder is a crime, and the
officers of the law are just as much bound to
execute it as they are to execute any other
■mandate of the government. It is a silly
argument to say that a man has the right to
do what he pleases with his own, and that
laws contravening this supposed natural right
may be disregarded aud trampled under foot,
without incurring moral turpitude and just
punishment.
It is, therefore, proper to ask those who are
inclined to persist iu illicit distilling, to deal
with the subject like rational beings, with
moral perceptions and business capacity to
comprehend their duty to society; their
amenability to the laws and their own best
interests. They may at once understand that
the law is a part of the fixed policy of the
government, and that it must and will be
executed at whatever cost to that govern
ment, aud at whatever sacrifice to the viola
tors. This fact being impressed upon the
mind, it follows as a corollary that it is a
crime to defy or violate the law, and that
detection, punishment and ruin must be the
consequences.
In this article, we would appeal, first, to
the illicit distillers themselves to desist, and,
secondly, to the conservative, law-abiding,
order-loving citizens of the country to adopt
prompt and vigorous measures to stop the
evil. There may be temporary gain in a
stealthy violation of law, but the crime will
haunt the offender, and his profits, like all
other ill-gotten gains, will slip away and leave
him the worse for having possessed them. In
the case of illicit distilling, discovery is only
a question of time, and when overtaken ruin
to the victim is as certain as that punishment
follows conviction. It is nearly impossible to
carry on the busiuess many months without
detection, and when detected the retribution
is sure to demand full measure in the way of
punishment.
We have taken some pains to inquire into
the successes and misfortuues of these mis
guided violators of the law, in Northeast
Georgia, and the concurrent testimony re
ceived establishes the fact that illicit distill
ing has proven disastrous, in a business point
of view, to every man who has engaged in the
business, and that only the secret informers
and blackmailers have made money by the
operation. The illicit distiller not only loses
his property when discovered, but he is sub
jected to heavy expenses in the way of costs,
lawyers’ fees, and subsidies to all sorts of
horse-leech’s daughters, to avoid complete
exposure and ruinous punishment. He not
only loses in this way, but bis sacrifices at
home, in family and farm, are a thousand fold
greater and infinitely more deplorable. When
he gets his own consent to commit a crime
against the laws of the land, he at once be
comes reckless, dissolute and demoralized.
He soon contracts the habit, if not already its
victim, of drinking the product of his crime,
and then follows thick and fast all the ills
incident to inebriety, social ostracism and
financial debauchery. He neglects his farm
ing interest; allows his home to fall into
decay; his stock to starve, and his family to
suffer for food and clothing.
These results may not come of a sudden to
every one, but that they do come, iu time,
sooner or later, is a fact as well established as
any fact in physics or philosophy.
Therefore, it is in a business point of view,
and iu the interest of the illicit distiller, that
we make this appeal so urgently aiftl so direct
to those who have made the fatal mistake of
engaging in the seductive but disastrous busi
ness. The time has come to stop. The recent
clemency of the government ought to be, ay,
must be rospected and accepted as a solemn
compact that the evil shall cease. The inter
est of the violators demands it; the interests
ot society demand it; the interests of the
whole country demand it.
And this brings us to the second proposi
tion—that it is the duty of the conversative,
law-abiding, order-loving citizens of every
community to adopt measures to put an end
to the crime and restore the industries of the
country. The good name of every neighbor
hood is involved; the productive interest of
the country is involved; the peace of soiiety
is involved; the safety of the women and chil
dren is involved, and Christianity itself is
imperilled. The moral reputation of the
whole people is at stake; the prosperity of the
country is impeded; education stands stills,
and civilization goes back on the swift revolv
ing wheels of the pernicious vice.
AVe are not prepared, nor is it our province,
to suggest appropriate measures to the good
people of the country to suppress illicit dis
tilling; but public meetings in each county,
and perhaps in each militia district, and the
adoption of strong decided resolutions that
the evil shall no longer exist; and the organ
ization of committees to enforce the resolu
tions, by open information to the proper
officials and prompt assistance in making
seizures and arrests, would probably be effec
tive. This, or some other mode should at
once be adopted. Let it be done, or let the
whole country share the shame, and divide
the responsibility and the consequences.

JHE ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.
j Commencement Exercises—Address of
Gov. Colquitt.
‘H. H. J.’ of the Maeou Telegraph
i and Messenger, attended the com
mencement exercises of this Institution
for the colored people, last week, and
closes a long and interesting account
| of the examination of the students,and
other gratifying facts, as follows:
“Better far that those of the negroes
who crave a liberal education should
! be taught upon the soil of Georgia,
than forced to go elsewhere in quest of
it,
THE EXAMINATIONS
in every department of study, Latin,
Greek, mathematics, history, mental
moral philosophy, etc, were highly
creditable, and on the last day quite
an event occurred. This was a visit
from.
GOVERNOR COLQUITT.
who spent several hours in attendance
upon the various recitations. His Ex
cellency expressed great gratification
at the proficiency displayed by the
pupils, and kindly consented, at the
invitation of the President, Mr. E. A.
Ware, to address the assembled stu
dents.
He said, the routine duties, neces
sary correspondence, and many inter
ruptions incident to his position, ren
dered it difficult for him to leave the
capital. But unmindful of these, he
had resolved to spend a brief season,
at least, in witnessing the workings of
this institution. Two r< asons impelled
him to do this:
1. Curiosity to note what progress
they had made, and
2. To show that the State of Geor
gia, through her executive, was not in
different to the success of the institu
tion but was in full sympathy with it.
He had been greatly pleased with what
he had witnessed.
The teachers and pupils must not
thiuk from the few whites present that
our people feel no interest in their
welfare. To prove the contrary, this
great State had sent a deputation of
citizens representing every portion
of the commonwealth whose commis
sions bore its broad seal, and who
were charged with the duty of examin
ing and reporting everything connect
ed with the condition and progress of
the University. This would be done
and formally made known to the peo
ple’s representatives in the Legisla
ture.
Education was designed to discipline
and expand
THE MINDS AND MORALS
of its recipients, and make true, intel
ligent and refined citizens of them. It
developed and illustrated civilization,
virtue and intellect. The word was
derived from the Latin educo, to give
out. But the common practice was
just the reverse, and take in, had been
substituted for it. The habit was to
take all you could get, and give out
nothing
Even in the sanctuary, the average
listener gathered in the words of the
minister, but, instead of heeding them,
criticized, ridiculed or abused his ut
terances.
The speaker knew the colored race
well. Had once owned many of them,
and, even in the days of slavery, im
parted to them, in person, religious in
struction, and supported
A SCHOOL OE FIFTY SCHOLARS
for their benefit at his individual ex
pense. They must learn to care for
ard love one another. To be true to
their obligations, true to the best in
terests of their race, and, above all,
true to the state of Georgia, which
was now their home and country.
The address, which we do not pre
tend to sketch at length, was received
with repeated demonstrations of as
plause.
'The Secretaryship.
Since writing the article, elsewhere,
on this subject, the Eastman Times,
containing the following editorial, was
received. There is no more fit or pro
per person in Georgia for the position
than Col. Nisbit, and wo heartily com
mend him to the delegates for his
merit and his qualifications. Says the
Times:
“In connection with the Secretary
ship of the Convention—an office
requiring skill and ability in him who
is to discharge its duties—we have no
hesitation in advocating a well and
favorably-known Georgian, whose gal
lant and efficient services rendered in
behalf of his State, both in the late
war and in the General Assembly, has
endeared him to the hearts of all, as a
man perfectly qualified to honor and
grace this position.
Col. J. Cooper Nisbet, the person
to whom we refer, resides in Dade
county, where he has been engaged in
raising stock, since 1858. Col. Nisbet
was born and raised in Macon, and is
a son of James A. Nisbet, deceased,
one of the most talented, public spiri
ted and honored citizens whom Macon
has ever had. So much for Col. Nis
bets’s family connections; his war
record speaks loudly for his honor.
At the beginning of the war Col. N.
raised a company in Dade county and
went into the Confederate service with
rank of Captain, and was with “Stone
wall” Jackson in all his lights after
Kernstown. He was recommended
for promotion by Generals Jackson
and Ewell, and after the battle of
Chancellorsville he was commissioned
by President Davis to raise a regiment
in Georgia. He raised a regiment and
battalion, and after short duty in
Florida was ordered to the army of
the Tennessee, and placed in command
of his brigade at the age of twenty
three
His record is too well known to re
quire much comment, and it will suf
fice to say that Col. Nisbet has repre
sented the connty of Dade four years
in the House of Representatives, and
is familiar with its rules and the duties
of its Clerk.
This fact, coupled with the facts
that he was raised in Middle Georgia,
but resides in Northern Georgia, that
he has a large acquaintance through
out the State, and that he lias done
his duty well, both as a soldier and
civilian, we think places Col. Nisbet
far ahead of any who may see fit to
compete with him in the race for the
Secretaryship.”
Latest advices report that the Sheriff
of Mecca will send the Sultan not less
than $120,000,000 —the treasures of
the holy shrines of Arabia.
Serious Accident.
Mr. D. P. Casey, writes us from Bellton,
that on Tuesday, as he and Mr. M. C. Mea
ders, and his—Casey’s—two children were
returning from a neighbor’s house in a buggy,
one of the shafts became detached from the
axle and dropped down on the heels of the
animal. She sprang forward with great force,
and capsized the buggy. The whole party
were violently thrown to the ground, and ail
were more or less injured. The animal broke
loose from the buggy, and somehow or other,
little Lizzie, Mr. Casey’s little daughter, be
came entangled iu the traces and was dragged
about forty yards, receiving serious bruises
and injuries. Little Jimmie escaped. Mr.
Casey had his eye badly hurt. Mr. Meaders
was more seriously injured —the shock and
the weight of the buggy, which fell on him,
rendering him entirely unconscious. He is
now at Mr, Casey s, quite painfully, but not
dangerously bruised, and will not be able to
return to his home in White county for a
week. No bones broken, and both he and
little Lizzie were doing well on Wednesday
evening.
