The 250 students at the North Georgia Agricultural College are Slid to be tine specimens of Geor gia’s intelligence. Our New York exchanges say there are many evidences of a revival of business. Trado is growing more active in almost every department, bur this is more particularly obser vable in the retail trade. The Augusta Evening News of Monday come to hand printed with green ink iu representation of the national cob >r ot Ireland, that being St. Patricks day, which was duly celebrated in that citj r . The Georgia lit publican is making strenuous • il’orts to re orgamzo the Republican party in this State. It is a good big job, as there are several odds anti ends that will have to be collected and solidified, but certain influences are operating that may facilitate this work. The R publicans have carried New Hampshire by a reduced majority, and still Eastern Shylocks are looking on with amazement at silver com manding 3 per cent., while gold drags at li. The day is not far dis tant when these worthies will find whtro ‘ Toney hid the wedge.” All the members of Congress fa voring a Southern Pacific Raiiroad. by Government aid are fast concen trating on the Texas Pacific route. This we are pleased to see. We be live that a competing lino to the Pa cific is di inanded, and that the Tex as Pacific is the only/.one that will ncomplish the ends desirod- Our neighbor, the Forest News } will bear in mind that the Eagle is on the level of tho “common people,” and appreciates just as highly the compliment shown by the raising of a “wool hat,” as it would the tipping of aln i.ver. It is not what is on the head, ' ut what is in the head and in the heart. The biennial work of counting the heaps of gold and silver coin in the sub-treasury at New York commenc ed Wednesday,and engages the atten tion of thirty-one accountants from the Treasury Departmet at Wa'hing ton. It wil take three weeks to com plete the count,as about $100,000,000 in coin is deposited there. Tis is stated on good authority that Dr. Pratt, a distinguished chern inethod of making pure brimstone from iron prites which abounds throughout this section. The pro cess is exceedingly simple and cheap. Tho brimstone produced is of fine quality and will cost about one third of the present price. At an election recently held in New York l'or n board of directors of the Atlanta and Ckarlotto Air Line Rail road, tho following gentlemen were chosen to serve for the ensuiug year : George Warren Smith, Abrams Hewitt, William H. Fogg, Pomeroy P. Dickenson, Hiram Sibly, Henry C. Hardy, Bolden MoAlpine, Henry 0 Sibley, Frank P. Clark, S. Wilmer and E. Kelly. Tho notorious murderer and des perado Gus Johnson, was hung at Rome on Friday last. He was charged with having committed four or live murders (some of them in cold blood) but was hung for kill ing a negro ferryman ten miles be low Rome. —This we believe is the first instance of the F hanging of a white man in Georgia, fir the mur der of a negro. The last number of the Griffin Sm drenches the Cartersville Eaqiress with a lotion of vinegar mixed with a little wormwood and gall; and in tho same number copies an article from the Eagle, but credits it to the “Gainesville Express. Now, we want to know if this was intended to in sult and degrade us, or was it be cause the Sun had Express on the brain ? and can this thing be honor ably settled without resorting to pis tols and paper wads ? Oa Monday the Supreme Court of Louisiana, in the case of Returning Board Anderson on appeal for anew tri and, reversed the verdict of the jury and ordered the prisoner to be dis charged. The decision was rendered on purely technical grounds and will terminate tho proceedings against the oilier members of the Returning B >ard. When the news reached Mr. Hays he expressed gratification and said the whole Union would applaud the action of the Supreme Court as patriotic aud iu the interest of con cil ation. , Ii tho United States District Court in Atlanta, on Wednesday, Jesse Mc < oy, Henry Tucker, Dock Stone, and J Jin Berry, were all convicted for violation of the internal revenue laws since the first day of July last, (the time at which the leniency ended) and sentenced to imprisonment in the Maryland Penitentiary for terms lunging from one year and two months, to a year aud eight months. Ail should bear in mind that it is now the , impose of the Court to en. forc tin* law vigorously against all violators. 3flh?Ki We ate pleased to hear that GeiL Finney of Pennsylvania has arrived with his partner,Col. Lo.vman o’ New Yurk, with their eteam engine, crush ers, and concentrators, to work the Silver mine near this city. Their machinery embraces some of the most valuable discoveries in science, which will enable them to make a large 1- percentage than by former modes.— The engine and machinery are all on the mine, and will b 9 in active oper ation in two months. Both Gen. Finney and Col. Lowman are practi cal miners and know what they are doing- All we ask of the citizens of Hall county is to co-operate, and af ford all possible facilities to them and they wild doubtless develop an industry worth millions to this sec tion. HiiHhaiul anil Wife. A case was decided by Judge Rice at Gwinnett Court last week which will interest many of our readers. It seems that a young man by the name of Fields married a girl sixteen years old Dgainst the wishes of her parents. The young bride’s father obtained the custody of his daughter and do tained her at home on the ground that she was a minor. The husband sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and on the hearing of the same the Judge held that, notwithstanding the li cense was irregularly issued and the father had not given his consent, she being sixteen years of age, the mar riugo was valid and binding, and the parties occupied the relationship of husband and [wifi; but that under the law which gives the parent the custody ’aud right to the services of his child until majority, unless he voluntarily looses it, that defendant had the right to her services until she was twenty one, and therefore was entitled to her custody. An or der was therefore piassed dismissing tho writ and remandiug the wife to the possession of her father. The case we learn will go to the Supreme Court. OUIi WASHINGTON LETTEII. [From our regular correspondent ] Washington, D. C., March 16. There has been little accomplished in the way of legislation during the past week. There has been consid erable good speaking in both House and Senate, and there is promise of more. Charles Foster is preparing a speech in reply to those of Hewitt and Cox on the civil service reforms / of Mr. Hayes, and in general defence of the Administration. A far abler man than Foster woul find this work difficult. The first six months of the. .lu.uincn uinim Fxi aie-nce wei-oTiUod with promises of reform, made by it audits friends; the next three by promises made by tho Administra tion alone; the last three by the Ad ministration regrets that the attitude of Congress made reform almost im possible. The whole year was full of acts that made these promises and regrets aliko absurd. The results of the Democratic cau cus are not yet apparent. The com mittee of thirteen, appointed to con sult with the Military committee as to making tho army bill a part}’ measure, has made no report,and will probably consider other matter, and attempt to unite Democratic Repre sentatives on other measures. It ought not to be difficult to secure a unanimous Democratic vote on any measure lookiug to economy and re form in tho civil service, and, as a necessary preliminary to these things, a thorough investigation of Federal affairs for the past few extravagant and corrupt years; In this direction Democratic success, not less than the general welfaro of the country, are to be found. By all means the com mittee should have the encourage ment of every Democratic member of the House. Judge Hughes, of the United States Circuit Court, yesterday, at Richmond, rendered his decision on one of the points raised by the gov ernment in the Arlington estate case The heirs of Gen. Lee commenced suit against the officer holding pos. session of tho estate, as the United States could not be sued. The point overruled yesterday by Judge Hughes was, that the United States being in directly a party to the suit, the Court had no jurisdiction to try it. The claim will now be tried on its mer its. About one-fifth of this fine es tate is occupied by a national ceme tery, in which Federal and a few Confederate dead are buried. The remainder is covered with the cabins of indigent negroes. Whatever may be the result of the trial, the peace of the dead should be held sacred. The people who occupy the balance of the land should be scattered, for, as they now exist, laziness and all manner of crimes are their inevitable portion. Probably no two men in public life more cordially dislike each other than Conkling and Schurtz, unless, perhaps, Blaine and Schurtz are the two. When the great Maine Sena tor, who understands all subjects to his own satisfaction, has a moment of uncommon hatred for anything, or anybody, he vents his feelings on Schuriz. He took him on stumpage the other day. If there is anything Blaine ought to understand, it is stumpage. He was born in a wood land region in Penneylvania, and his maturer years have been passed iu Maine, iu the midst of limitless forests of pine. One township—they tM it a tcWc, bat it Is only a wood —is named fot hint He knbWs (no mattfer what he does not know) all about etumpage. The Secretary had been prosecuting men who wire sus pected of stealing government trets, and asked for an appropriation to pay for agents to hunt up more such violators of the law. This was the opport mity for Blaine, and he im proved it. Whatever the merits of the case, 119 certainly took the bark off of Schuttz, and trimmed him from root to crown. He was not diguified but;he was forcible. Schurtz has not three friends in the Senate, so nearly every one was gratified. MINES AND^MSNiNG. BY WM. W. HABEIISHAM. GOLD AND SILVEII MINES. During the past fifty years, the fact has been well established, that gold mines were to he found in Georgia, which if properly worked, would yield large profits. Iu 1828, Dr. M. F. S ephenson, the distinguished geologist and mineral ogist, whilst prospecting in the mountains of Georgia, discovered fine gold in the gravel in the streams, and with that urbanity and unselfishness for which he has ever been characterized, made known to rich and poor, bond and freo, that the rocky portions of the mountains, which were supposed to be valueless, contained a vast amount of gold; and predicted that in tho coarse of time, the State would be as greatly renown ed for its mineral wealth, as for its agricultural resources, and the salu brity of its climate. “A prophto is not without honor, save in his own country,” and to-day, ihis noble specimen of humanity, who has during the past half centu ry associated with the most distin guished men of the times; and done so much for science, is to be found proclaiming to the credulous people of his adopted State, the immutable truths revealed to those who devote their time to scientific pursuits, his only reward being, in the concious ness of having done his duty. At the time of the discovery of gold in California, shortly after that State had been ceded by Mexico to the United States the people of this country were as much alive to every thing relative to that interesting section, as were the Europeans, when Columbus announ.ed to Ferdinand and Isabella the discovery of the Western continent with its vast ag ricultural and mineral resources. Since then, a large amount of capital has been invested in developing the miners^, rt fgesources of the Pacific -S-ffiffSchool . -a’itoriafl. TheTabulous amount of gold and silver taken from the mines of Cali fornia, Navada, Idaho Montana and Arizona since 18IS (an annual aver age of $93,750,000) proves conclu sively that the capital invested in working them has not been misap plied. Had this amount not bean invested, the treasure which has been revealed, would have remained in the womb of mother earth undiscovered, and commerce would have languish ed, whereas, during the period the mines have been iu operation, incal culable benefit has accrued to com merce and civilization. It is frequently remarked that the civilization of past ages was coequal, if not iu advance of that of the pres ent century, and that previous to the dark ages, the arts and sciences flourished to an extent not known at the present time. There can be no question that the scientific principles by which we are governed at the present day w r ere known to the an cients, but that they were greatly at fault with regard to the application of those principles, is very evident. In proof of this we publish the sta tics of the yield of gold and silver during a period of thirty years, from the discovery of the mines of the Pa cific coast and Territories, since 1848. Gold and silver yield for 1877 $ 100,000,000 Gold product of the Pa cific coast since 184S 1,545,500,000 Silver products of tho States and Territories west of the Missouri river since 1848 370,000,000 Combined gold and sil ver product of the Pacific slope since 1848. 1,912,500,000 And the yield of the combined mines of the world during a period of three hundred and e ightv-six years, from the date of the discovery of America up to the year 1848.

In South America at the present time will be found numerous desert ed gold aud silver mines, which were worked by Mexicans and Peruvians in early days, and are evidences of the disadvantages arising from the want of proper appliances, with which to relieve the mines of water. A larger amount of capital will be re quired to re-open and work these mines, than if in their primitive con dition; hence, very little mining is being done in that portion of the world! aha capital is being attracted to thdke sections; where Virgin mines are to be found, which Will re munerate capitalists for their invest ment. To the capitalists of the pacific coast, the minea of the North West offer superior advantages, whilst to those of the Atlantic coast, the rich mines of Northeast Geor gia, which have yielded $26,000,000 in thirty years from surface washings alone, are destined in the future to attract the attention of Northern and Western capital. The time is not far distant when the many facilities offered for operat ing willl be appreciated, and the red hills of Georgia will resound with the sounds of thousands of stamps as they crush the glittering gold and silver ores, and furnish their quota of the precious metals to meet th reqnirement of the age. A Letter from Athens. Athens, Ga , March 19, 1878. Editor Eagle: I had not been in this city for nine years until yester day, and I was agreeably surprised at the many evidences of improve ment and thrift that are now seen on every hand. When the Air Lintr railroad was completed to ville in 1871 a great flood of travel and trade set in from the section penetrated and the country lying north of the road in the direction of Atlanta. The corn, wheat, oats, po tatoes, poultry &c. turned away fronr the Athens market, had a blighting effect upon the place for a time, but soon her wide-awake progressive citi zens began to see and appreciate the tho situation. The Northeastern railroad had been chartered, but up to this time it was considered a “pa per line”—a visionary project, with the chances all against its construc tion. But whan the trade from Ath ens was cut off, her merchants be-- come restive; they saw that the coun-, try from which their city had drawn its life-blood had been “captured,’’ and their customers drawn off among strangers to a cosmopolitan city to dispose of the products of their farms and buy their goods. Bloomfield Messrs. Nickerson, .Reeves, Dearing et al took a hasty view of tho situa tion and without the usual “blood and thunder” newspaper display> work was quietly commenced on the Northeastern and pushed vigorously to completion. The building of this road from Athens to Lula on the Air Line has accomplished wonders for Athens. It has given her merchants “through rates,” and the same freight privileges enjoyed by the merchants, of* Atlanta and Augusta. It has shortened the distance to Atlanta several miles, and reduced the fair on tho Georgia railroad in proportion to the distance saved. It has given the trade of the city anew impetus, and on every hand the stranger notices the evidences of improvement and prosperity. New buildings have gone up as by magic, spacious warehouses are being constructed and many are lookiug out for favorable locations and are proposing to purchase prop erty on which to build all sorts of business houses. The low rates giv en the merchants on cotton to New York have drawn thousands of bales of the fleecy staple to Athens that has heretofore been sold at other places. But the main advantages to Athens in the construction of the Northeas tern are yet to be told. Her mer chants have it in their power to bring back more trade to their city than they even lost by the building of the Air Line, if they will work for it, like they worked to get the North eastern road. Qnite a number of the leading merchants, and many of the best clerks in the city are mountain men and boys and exert a large in fluence in your section. Then the mountain men people as a class, feel more at home here than in any other city, The interests of the Athenians and North Georgians generally Bre the same. The State is divided po- litically, so that the people are all thrown together in the up country.— For these reasons and many others that I could mention, Athens ought to be a very important trading point for your people. A little printers ink judiciously used will accomplish wonders. Speaking of printers ink reminds me that Athens has no daily paper. There are plenty of people here to support a daily, and why some live, enterprising man don’t put up and “make it stick” is certain ly wonderful. The Banner, Watch man and Chronicle are all three neat, newsy and prospering papers, but the newspaper business is net up with the advancement aud other im provements of the city. Hon. H. H Carlton tried a daily here before the completion of the Northeastern Rail road, but wa3 compelled to suspend it oh account of sickness, and a want of necessary support and patronage. MANUFACTURES. Athens is a manufacturing town of considerable importance, and sup ports more mechanics and laborers in proportion to population than any other city in the South.

I met here to-day an old-time friend, Mr. W. F.

I was astonished to find how cheap they are selling their goods, and can as sure you that they will furnish the m trehants and people of the up country, if they will call on them. Bob Lampkin is still at the old stand, and says he is dispensing the best article of pure whiskies and bra ndiee, at less than “pop-skull” used to be sold. Those wanting goods in his line would probably find it to their interest to call and see him- But I fear I Lave already taxed your patience to the fighting point in speaking of this live city, and a few of the business enterprises lot eated litre.
