r r 11 E E AGLEj 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. Hen’s Meeting. There will be a meeting for meu and boys, only, on Thursday night at the Presbyterian Church, under the direction of the Young Men’s Christian Association. All are most cordially invited to attend. A. M. Jackson, President. oia Washington Ltfmtii Tilt a]>h>oa.i ta of and tlie hat df gayety—The wonderful stamina af the American woman in Washington; but she longs for rest and religion— Dan. cing fifteen miles per night—The Silver Bill—Sherman fully prepared i mill the dollars—The Pacific Rail Road Bill. [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.
