Friday Morning, March 8, 1878.
J. F. RED WINE Editor.
The people in Jackson, are busy
preparing for planting tin ir crops.—
Wheat looks fine.
William Brewen, has sold his Bush
ville property, in Banks county, ana
moved to the Tngalo valley in Hab
ersham county.
Avery destructive fire occurred at
Forsyth, Monroe county on Monday
night destroying a large amount of
valuable property.
Dan. Mathews says he is not <n the
habit of blowing it, but that Nichol
son, is decidedly the “stavinest”
town in Jackson county.
In the late elections in several of
the Northern cities the greenbackers
and workingmen seem to have had
nearly everything their own way.
A most destructive conflagration
swept over Hot Springs Arkansas on
Tuesday morning .destroying prop
erty to the amount of two hundred
thousand dollars.
After a gallant struggle for inde
pendence, protracted for nino long
years, the Cubans have at last sur
rendered to the superior force of
Spain.
Tobo Duke, of Jackson county, is
building the best barn (Bullock barn
in Cobb excepted) in North Georgia.
Ho has also just completed a splen
did residence.
Tne Forest News, is one of the
most sprightly weekly papers that
comes to this office. Bro. Wilson
knows exactly how to get up a paper
suited to the wants and require
ments of his readers.
When the news of the passage of
the silver bill over Mr. Hayes veto
was received at Columbus, Ohio, both
Houses of the Legislature passed a
resolution ordering a salute to be
fired on the 4th inst in honor of the
event.
Mr. Hill returned to the “houso of
his fathers’’ two years ago. On the
28th ult., he returned to the “dollar
of the daddies” and may now be con
sidered thoroughly restored to all the
rights, priviliges and immunities of
the Union. Selah !
It is stated that old John Robin
son’s circus in passing through the
State contributed over four thousand
dollars as taxes on exhibitions. He
tried to get off by paying twenty dol
lars for each days exhibition but
was required to pay two hundred
dollars.
It was a noticeable fact that at
Jackson court, there were more plows
aud other Agricultural Implements,
ollared for sale than ever before, and
that nearly everything exhibited,
was a Southern invention. Necessity
has somwhat sharpened up the inven.
tive genius of onr people.
We feel profoundly grateful to our
editorial brethren for the many high
ly flattering notices they have given
us, and will assure them that we
shall do all within onr power to ele
vate the profession, aud bring it up
to that high position of power, use
fulness and influence that it should
attain.
All exchange collects the following
showing the rate of State tax in the
several southern States named. On
one thousand dollars of property:
Louisiana, sl4 50; South Carolina,
$10.00; Arkansas, $10.00; Tennessee,
$10.00; Alabama, 7.50; Florida, 7.00;
Texas, $5.00; Georgia, $5.00.
Ex Gov. F. J. Moses of South
Carolina in a letter to the New York
Sun comes out and says that Mr.
Tilden carried that State by over one
thousand majority of strictly legal
votes. He gives the names of those
who tampered with the returns and
shows how the result was reversed.—
Now we do not propose to dispute
the Ex-Governor’s statement, for he
ought to know, but would simply in
quire if he makes this revelation
from honest, patriotic motives, or is
it because he is soured at Mr. Hayes.
It is said that “Josey” O’Farrell,
of the Athens Chronicle, “fit” a dewel
with a traveling glue man, last Satur
day, near Athens. A job was put up
on the man of glue, but for all that he
came to the scratch like a little man
and never run a step, until he had
shot, and thought he had killed his
antagonist Hereafter when “Jozy”
hunts up a dewol, he will not be apt
to light on a travling glue man, un
less he expects “sticking” to be done.
—Athens papers can copy.
Now that the Silver bill has be
come a law, the next step for Con
gress, is the repeal of the resumption
act, and the passage of Mr. Buck
ner’s bill, substituting treasury notes
or greenbacks for the national bank
bills and also the passage of a law
making banking free.
There is no valid reason wh y bank
ing should not be as free as merchan
dising, manufacturing or indeed any
other business, especially when done
on the currency of the government.
We want no favored classes in this
country, but an open field and a fair!
race. *
In full confirmation of what we have
heretofore asserted relative to the hank of
Nevada. We take the following from the
San Francisco Stock'Report of February
18th.
“Ou the 15th of March C. S. Christen
sen present cashier of the Nevada Bank
will leave for New York to assume charge
of the above named institution, which is to
he opened there. One of the features of
the New York branch will be a mining
stock transfer agency.”
The Silver Bill a Law.
On Friday of last week Mr. Hayes
sent his message to the House of
Representative} vetoeing the silver
bill. The House at once passed it
over the veto by a vote of 196 to 72
The bill was at once transmitted to
the Senate and that body also
brushed the veto out of the way, by a
vote of 46 to 19. Some of Mr.
Hayes’ friends seem to think that
Congress acted with indecent haste
in over-riding the veto, but the meas
ure was one demanded by the public
and as there was nothing new pre
sented in the message, the prompt
action was not only proper but com
mendable.
The New Silver Dollar.
The new Silver dollar will be a
handsome coin, and is thus describ
ed: on onejside a head of Liberty;
crowned with a Fhrygian cap, deco
rated with wheat and cotton; thir-
Stars; the date of coinage; with the
legend “E Pluribus Unum.” On the
other side, surrounded by an olive
wreath, an eagle with out-spread
wings, bearing in his talons a branch
of olives and a bunch of arrows; the
inscription “United States of Amer
ica,’’ “one dollur” and “In God we
trust.” If our readers are offered
such a coin as this about the 15th
of the month or after, they can take
it. It is a dollar and can be used
to pay any debt public dr private,
where the contract does not express
ly stipulate for diferent payment.
The mints can coin 3,500,000 of
them every month and Secretary
Sherman it is said, will have them
worked to their full capacity.
Stay in (Georgia.
If our rural readers could be
about Atlanta or any other railroad
center, for a time and see the flood
of poor dejected
people, who are at all months of the
year returning to their old homes,
the western fever would soon be
cured and our people settle down to
work in earnest to make preperation
to spend the remainder of their
days in Georgia. It is a matter of
surprise that so many of our people
are yearly enticed to Texas and oth
er Western States, by irresponsible
immigrant agents who are paid for
their sevices, like the ticket agent
of a side show—the capacity for
misrepresentation and deception be
ing the principle ingredient in the
make-up of the man employed.
It is getting to be high time that
our people, and especially our young
men, the hope of the country, were
learning that it is to their best in
terest to stay here and engage in
building up and developing the re
sources of Georgia. Money don’t
grow on trees in Texas or any where
else. It is made honestly by hard
licks and well directed efforts, coup
led with strict economy and close
attention to business. It is made
dishouestly by chicanery sharp
practice and dishonest methods.
Now if a young man has decided to
“live honestly, hurt nobody and
render to every one his dues” he has
a broad field for the exercise of the
gifts that God hath given him, and
ample protection in Georgia. If he
wants to make money fast, as it is
termed, he ought to go west.
There is less law and order
there than here. He can
wear an old pistol in Texas or the
Territories, and stick his pants in
his boots and go to Court, or to
Church and be considered as only
prepared for an emergency. He
can trade for land or stock and use
most of the tricks known to profes
sional swindlers, in his transactions
and stand a good chance to escape
detection and pnnnishraent. These
things he can’t do so well in Georgia.
Here the machinery of the law is in
perfect order and the people are law
abiding, and hence for his lawless
acts he would receive merited pun
nishment.
If the land here be thoroughly
prepared andwell cultivated, it pro
duces as well as any to be fonnd on
the globe. This has been abundant
ly demonstrated at all the fairs and
exhibitions of agricultural products.
Let parents begin to teach their chil
dren to stay about the old home
stead; and in order to do this, the
old home should be made as near a
Paradise as it is possible to have on
this earth. Children, like grown-up
people, are different in their tastes,
wants, habits and requirements. All
these should be studied, and the
young folks made as happy as possi
ble. When this is the case, and
vines are planted about the doors,
and flowers and evergreens are culti
vated in the grounds, and there is
generally a more cordial social inter
course between neighbors and par
ents and children, our homes will be
more attraelive and happy; and in
the near future our young men will
see the folly of going west, and wii!
settle down to make pleasant and
happy homes of their own, in the
old neighborhood, and make preper
ation to sleep, “when life’s fitful
dream is over,” in the old church
yard with their ancestors.
Effect ef the silver Bill Ahmad.
While the Silver bill Was pending
lii Congress and before it became a
law we were informed by the Jay
Gouldites and even by a few people
in these parts, that the passage of the
bill would sound the funeral knell to
the further borrowing of money in
foreign markets. We were told of
indignation meetings that would be
held in England and Germany and
other gold-worshiping countries, and
how we were to be “resolved” from
the exchange boards and our bonds
sold for almost nothing and sent in
piles back to this country to be dis
posed of for what they would bring.
But as we predicted these arguments
have all come to naught. On the
passage of the Silver bill, gold act
ually declined from 102jJ to 102 at
home, instead of going up as the
aforesaid opponents said it would,
while government bonds actually
went up l higher than before. The
effect of the passage of the bill abroad
may be gathered from the following
in the London Times’ financial article
published on Monday, three days af
ter the passage of the Silver bill.
“United States funds surprised
many people by advancing instead of
falling on news that the silver bill had
passed. We always said the public
was not selliog stock to any appre
ciable extent, aud the weakness which
now and then characterized the bonds
is due as much as anything to pass
ing fears of dealers and to speculative
selling which only made the market
harder. Hence on receipt of better
New York prices and because the
worst is now known, the market act
ually rose by the mere efforts of those
who had sold to buy back. Besides,
it has been noticed that the limita
tion put upon the quantity of silver
that may be coined within a given
time is itself tantamount t,o making
silver subsidiary coinage, at all events,
for considerable time, so that there
is no alarm felt, and holders stick
to their bonds. The only thing that
will lower prices of these or any oth
er high class stock jast now is dearer
money.”
The ltussian.Tenns of Peace.
The treaty of peace between Rus
sia and Turkey has been signed and
while the fall details have not reached
us the general outline is about as
follows: Russia demands the ces
sion of the cities of Podgoritza and
Antivare with territory to Montene
gro; permission of Russia to cede
the Dobrudscha to Roumania in ex
change for Bessarabia which will
give to Russia of the Danuhe. The
creation of anew province of Bulga
ria to be under the supervision of
Russia for two years and guarded for
hat time by a strong Russian force
and at last to be governed by a
prince to be selected by the Euro
pean powers. War-vessels are to be
excluded from the straits except in
special cases, though free to mer
chant vessels. In addition to this a
war indemnity of 1,400,000,000 rou
bles is demanded, for which Batoum,
Kars, Bayazid, Ardahan and contigu
ous territory comprising the whole of
Armenia in Asia minor are pledged
—the whole money indemnity
amounts to about $1,300,000,000. —
An exchange thns sums up the situa
tion and the future.
The present limits of Bulgaria are
north, the right bank of the Danube
from the Timok to its mouth; south,
the Balkan range ; east, the Black
Sea, and west, the Servian line, an
area of 32,932 square miles, with a
population of about 3,000,000, com
posed three-fourths of Bilgarians
and one-fourth of mixed races Turks,
Tartars, Albians, Circassians, Jews
and Greeks. The proposed new
province will'consist of the country
between the Danube and the Bal
kans, about two-thirds of Roumania,
including Sophia and .Philipopolis
the larger portion of Thrace, and the
whole valley of the Maritza, the
richest part of Turkey. It will con
fine Turkey to a small stretch of ter
ritory between Adrainople and Con
stantinople, will deprive her of two
important ports on the Sea of Mar
mora, und will erect on the ruins of
Moslem power a Sclavonic kingdom,
freed from Mohammedam rule and
directly under the protection and
control of Russia.
This of itself would be well nigh
sufficient to make Turkey an insig
nificant power—the sick man of Eu
rope in very deed ; but even here the
end is not. Payment o' the money
indemnity. Before the war, Turkey
was overwhelmingly in debt. She
owed in 1875 considerably over one
billion of dollars, the interest of
which she some time ago repudiated.
Of course, then, it is impossible for
her to pay this Russian indemnity,
which nearly doubles her past indebt
edness. She must, therefore, .give
Armenia and other portions of Asia
Minor to Russia, and thus, says a
contemporary, ‘while the latter wipes
out Turkey in Europe, and establish
es a Sclavonic kingdom in her stead,
she will also wipe out Turkey in Asia
by annexing a large portion of it to
her own territory.” In short, all
that vTill be left of the once arrogant
and powerful Moslem Empire, which
formerly bore the sword of Islam in
bloody triumph over a large portion
of the Chistian world, will be a sec
tion of country estimated to be about
the size of the State of Michigan.

[From oar regular correspondent ]
As Lent approaches the riot qf gaye
ty increases, and fashionable Washing
ton nears the climax of refined (?) dissi
pation. For two months a bewildering
whirl of entertainments have taxed the
energies of the young, and the exche
quers of the old, and the forty days of
rest and religion is longed for, by both,
as a soothing boon. Bnt the few days
preceding lent will not be wasted, so to
speak, and there will not be a night
without its enterments of hops, masque
rades, and receptions. It is said that the
Presidential receptions, and those of
some of the Cabinet Officers, will be
continued during Lent, but dancing will
of coarse, cease, and “tired nature’s
sweet restorer soothing sleep” will begin
to repair the frayed freshness of youth>
before four o’clock in the morning.—
Many young ladies who have been
spending the season here have returned
to their homes. Fragile delicate creat
ures ! This talk of the physical degen
eracy of American women is all non
sense. The feats of Bertha Von Hfilern
are as nothing compared with fa
tigueiug accomplishments of these gen
tle amazons. Without training, or
proper regimen ; handicapped with
trains, and other indescribable para
phernalia ; hobbled and torturod with
high heeled tight shoes—they waltz
in stiffling furnace'heated Yooms, fifteen
miles a night, (no exaggeration) and
then they stand np and receive or make
calls, for three or four hours the next
day, to say nothing of visits to the gal
leries of the Senate aud House, prome
nades on the Avenue, and attendance
at the Theatre. It must be admitted
that they begin to look a little haggard,
aud there appears in their faces, at eigh
teen or twenty, certain lines that are pre
sentiments of forty years. The heart of
many a serious girl protests againsUthis
tyrant fashion, bat what is the protest
of one or a hnndred girls against con
ventionality. Men have various avenues
for the parade of their vanities. The
pulpit, the bar, the hustings are open to
them ; war, trade, and a hundred pur
suits, afford them that healthful excite
ment without which life is the career of
a weed. But woman must keep to her
sphere, whatever that may mean, and
appeal for sympathy only through the
beauty of her person, or the elegance'of
her dress. That is the fiat; who utter
ed it ?
The silver bill is a law aud congress
will now turn its weighty attention to
other things. The scenes in the Hquse
and Senate, attending the return of the
bill with the Presidents veto, were live
ly, and, at one time, exciting, but in no
way significant, as had been expected
the veto was easily overcome at both
ends of the capitol, the bill receiving
votes from unexpected sources. Hon.
S. S. Cox, by saying that the veto was
a charge of a fraud by a fraud, has
aclieived a mementary notoriety,
scarcely enough to carry him
posterity, as, it seemed from a subse
quent remark, he had hoped.
The Secretary of the Treasury has al
ready prepared the necessary arrange
ments for the immediate execution of
the law providing for the coinage of the
silver dollar, so that there will be no de
lay in its operation. The secretary has
also prepared the form of the silver cer
tificates, and approved the device for
the new silver dollar, which was sub
mitted to him by the Director of the
Mint. The Department will begin
without the least delay the administra
tion of the law.
On yesterday the Committee in the
House, on Pacific Railroads authorized
Representative House, of Tenn., tore
port the Texas Pacific Railroad bill, at
the next call of the committee for re
ports, subject however, to any action
that may be taken in the meantime by
the committee in the way of changing
or perfecting its provisions, and reser
ving the right also for a minority re
port to be made, at the same time. The
effect of the order will be to bring the
subject before the House at the earliest
opportunity, bat, the committee prill,
in the meanwhile, continue its consid
eration of the matter, and a formal vote
upon the adoption of the sub-commit
tee’s favorable report will not be taken
until at least one other meeting shall be
held. There is no doubt, it is thought,
that a majority of the members will rat
ify the action of the sub-committee.—
The new bill reduces the subsidy asked
for to about $17,000 000, and an aver
age of about $40,000 per mile. Under
its provisions branches at New Orleans,
Memphis, and Vicksburg, are proposed.
Notwithstanding the recent anti-subsi
ty vote in the House, the advocates of
the bill are quite confident of its
passage.
We have received from a large
□umber of our warmest and most
steadfast friends, a cordial
approval of our proposed change
from a credit to a cash basis
coupled with the promise to stand
by us to the end. For these assur
ances of aid and support we feel
truly grateful; and shall do all with
in our power to keep the Eagle in
the van of journalism and to make it
an indispensable guest of every hous
hold.
What has become of the free
bridge ?is a question that is asked
every few days. We are not able to
answer the interogatory intelligently
at this time bnt hope to be able to do
so at an early day. We are informed
that nearly enough has been sub
scribed by responsible parties to
complete the work and that these
defieiences could be readily supplied
if some active person would take the
matter in hand. We earnestly urge
that the necessary steps be taken at
once, for this is a work of too mpeh
importance to both town and
country to be allowed to languish
and finally die out.
MINES AND MINING*
f i fit Wit. W. HAEEKSHASL
MINING IN GEORGIA.
I'he report of the Monetary com
mission of the United States ap
pointed by Congress to ascertain th
yield of gold and silver since 1848,
embraces the following:
“In California and Australia, there
were discovered almost simultaneous
ly the richest and most extensive
gold fields of which there is any rec
ord. Their development was and rec
ted by the genius and prosecuted
with the energy of the foremost
races of the world, who were favored
by all the advantages of free and
stable governments, well adminis
tered laws,'unlimited access to capi-
tal, healthy and invigorating cli
mates, together with facilities for
attracting great supplies of labor.—
Such a combination of circumstances,
never before known, may never oc
cur again; and as it is now certain
that the California and Australia
production of gold has distinctly
passed the culminating point, all
sound reasoning admonishes man
kind to prepare for a steadily de
creasing yield of that metal.”
It is to be presumed that at the
time the report was made, very little
was known of the mineral-belt ex
tending from Virginia to Alabama,
and of the vast mineral resources of
Georgia, which though only partially
developed, are of a nature to attract
a large amount of capital from the
North and West during the present
year. Already we perceive eviden
ces, that the attention of capitalists
from Chicago, Philadelphia and New
York has been attracted by the yield
of gold from the mines recently
opened, and from the indications of
rich quartz leads to be found in that
portion of the mineral belt extend
through the counties of Rabun,
Towns, Union, Lumpkin, White,
Habersham, Banks, Hall, Dawson,
Forsyth, Bartow, Paulding, Fannin,
Gilmer and Murray. From the re
port of Dr. Wm. P. Blake the geolo
gist of the United States Pacific Rail
road survey in California, a geologist
and mining engineer .learned in his
profession, we take the following:
“The portion of the great gold-belt
of Georgia to which my attention
was directed, is in Lumpkin county,
and in the vicinity of Dahlonega.—
This place was early selected as the
most central and convenient point
for a settlement in the gold region,
the richest mines and deposits be
ing found in its immediate neighbor
hood.”
After discussing at length the rich
character of the “stream deposits,”
giving an authentic and highly inter
esting report of the working of the
several creeks and branches which
flow through the numerous valleys of
the Chestatee River; Dr. Blake adds
this testimony to the remarkable
richness of the country.’’ “During the
progress of their examination, many
trials of the earth were made by pan
ning. The samples were taken from
various points along the deposits and
the hill sides, and gold was found in
every instance, without exception.—
The whole Boil and earth of the re
gion is so impregnated with gold,
that it would be difficult to obtain a
panful without one or more particles.
After the rains; the gullies along the
roads in some places contain so
much gold, that the poor people fre
quently scrape them out and wash the
sand. Through all this tract, there
is a remarkable belt of decomposed
slate, which seems to be permeated
with gold, for almost every shovelful
of the decayed rock will show numer
ous particles when washed. These
results, together with the other ob
servations, were sufficient to convince
me that there is an enormous amount
of gold still remaining in these de
posits.” It become evident that the
original washings were conducted
without care or method, so that the
gold was not only but partially re
moved, but a very considerable part
of the pay gravel on y the bed rock
was never reached, and rests un
touched to this day.” We ex’ract
following from Dr. Charles T. Jack
son, the distinguished geologist of
Massachusetts report:
“Having on two previous explora
tions of the gold region of Georgia,
made myself pretty well acquainted
with the various places or deposits of
gold, and with the principul aurifer
ous veins in that district, much of
my presont’ work consisted in a re
view of localities which I had pre
viously explored, though some addi
tional researches were made, and to a
muoh greater extent during my pres
ent survey. * £ * By testing
with the pan the soil and the rock of
these veins, gold was always ob
tained, in proportions that would pay
in large quantities.”
The gold is found in both the slate
rock and in the thin quartz veins
which alternate with the strata; also
in the soil arising from the decompo
sition and disintegration of the slate
rocks. I found it quite impassible
to find any of the soil entirely free
from fiold, and it is my belief that
not a square rod of land in the gold
belt can be found, that will not give
a show of gold, in a pan of earth of
three or four quarts measure. I had
some pansful of the soil, from all
parts of the district, aud from vari
ous depths, washed by experienced
hands under my immediate direction,
and found gold in every pan. Gold
ja, therefore found generally diffused
in the soil, but it is more abundant
near auriferous veins, and near the
bed rock, in the different mines and
placers.
Mining operations in Georgia
hitherto have been prosecuted with
so little system that it is difficult
finding an authentic record of the re
sults in my particular operation.- -
From the Passmore vein BhoKer af
ter the discovery of gold in Georgia;
over ten thousand dollars worth of
fine gold was taken out in twenty
days, by digging in the soft slate.—
Upon the John C. Calhoun property
situated on the banks of the Chesta
tee River, upon reaching the gravel
of the former river bed, a rich depos
it of wash-gold was found, and in
about one month, from one pit, twen
ty three thousand dollars worth of
the precious metal was taken. The
Dahlonega Gold Company, in build
ing a dam across the Chestatee Riv
er, at an old ford-way, every shovel
ful of which dirt had twice pre
viously been washed for gold, insti
tuted a third washing, as the dirt
was thrown upon the dam, and ob
tained five dollars in gold, per labo
rer.
The above should convince any
impartial person, that a section from
which such mining results have been
derived in times past and the recent
developments of which prove, that
the large amount of gold obtained,
has been taken principally from sur
face washings, still contains a vast
deposit of the precious metal. The
writer has prospected and mined for
many years in the North West, and
is fully satisfied, from observations
made during the past eighteen
months in Hall and the adjoin ; ng
counties of tli State, that Georgia
possesses mineral advantages equal,
if not superior to those of any State
or Territory in the Union. Should
capital not be diverted to Arizona
and elsewhere, as heretofore, but be
invisted in the mining region of the
Southern States where wood and wa
ter abounds; and where cheap labor
can be obtained; and in which all the
combined influences which have ten
ded to develop the vast miueral re
sources of the North West are to be
found, we may expect to find, that the
yield of gold from the Georgia mines
will in a few years go far towards do
ing away with the impression, that
is there a diminution in the produc
tionof gold during the present cen
tury.
