The Atlanta Tribune, of Wedne3*

nouncing the suspension of that pa

Ihe Constitution in enumerating
the list of aily newspapers that have

our old friend J. S Pettersou says
died “for the want of just exactly

It tfterns that we are gradually ap
proaching the borders of the “ good

nearly i cached the point where there
is “ no distinction of weight, color or
previous condition ” between gold,
silver or greenbacks.
For want of time the organization

at the suggestion of leaders in the
movement it was adjourned to meet
next Tuesday (sale day.) We urge

Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, on
Monday, formally opened the war on
Mr. Hayes. In a set speech in the
Senate ho denounced him iu the
strongest terms, and came as near
being personal as decency would per
mit. It is stated that Senator Howe
represents a large body of Republi
cins who are becoming outspoken
and bitter in their opposition to Mr.
Hayes.
Gen. Fitz Lee has replied to Gen.
Longstreet’s last article on the battle
of Gettysburg. He publishes a letter
from Gtn. Hancock, stating that if
the Confederates had pushed their
success on the first day they would
have driven the Federals from Ceme
tery li'dge, and also proves that Gen.
Lee had stated that the battle would

if Lougstreet had obeyed his orders
and made an earlier attack than h e
did.
A Warm Itlast.
The Telegraph <)■ Messenger of the
2tnh says.
On Sunday a hot wind blew with
great strength and velocity from al
most every point of the compass in
turn—but generally, perhaps in a west
northwesterly direction. The earth
being very dry,clouds of dust obscured
tho horizon and made every passer in
the streets ‘ eat dirt.” The tempera
ture was eighty odd, aud the hot blast
moved with a constantly eddying cur
rent which took the form of numerous
little whirlwinds. Vegetation became
limp and dull under its inlluence.
The Pastern Question.
It was thought for a time that the
questions involved in the settlement
between Russia and Turkey would
bo amicably adjusted, between the
interested powers, but our lutest dis
patches point strongly to a war be
tween E igland and Russia that would
inevitably involve aud seriously uffect
all Europe. A war over there, We
have no doubt, would add greatly to
the prospeirty of our country, but
for the sake of humanity we hope an
adjustment of all differences will be
reached without a resort to arms.
Congressional aspirants in different
parts of the State are beginning to
box the political compass, and from
the indications we shou'd think there
will be no lack for patriots who are
willing to serve the people. If the
history of the recent past, is to be
taken as a guide for the future, true
merit, and not political demagoguery,
wiil be in the ascendant after the
people are heard from. There are
more or less aspirants iu almost every
district, who vainly imagine that the
country will go headlong to the bad
unless they are called on to save it
To all this class we would say, “ wait
a time with patience,” and when the
country wants your services you wil
bo duly notified.

Creverand Ga. March 25, 1878
Editor Eagle: I have been thinking
ever since you assumed the proprie
torship of the Eagre I would write
you, but other duties have kept me
from it until now. We from white
send you a cordial greeting and may
the Eagre gain additional strength
and soar even higher than ever be
fore, The Eagre has many warm
friends in this county; you have
stood by us and never for one mo
ment swerved from the path of duty
and right, and now I think you may
count on old White giving you sub
stancial aid.
Politics have been rather at a
stand-6till, but just now the situation
is likely to become interesting. I
am a little afraid they will get into
a muddle, and I am iuclined to
think that organization is the only
means of success. These scrub races
will disorganize if they do not dis
rupt our party and give the Jiepub
lfcans a strong footfbold. They
see it to-day and are doing all in
their power to keep up dissentions.
We are by no means politicians Mr.
Editor but we are of the opinion that
a convention is by far the best and
safest plan.
The farmers are all busy prepar
ing to plant largely;-there is enough
corn in White to-day to supply two
counties of its size. Wheat as a gen
eral thing looks well, Mr. W. B. Bell
of this place lias as fine a field of
wheat as I ever saw at this season.
The mines in this county are doing
splendidly with a prospect of larger
and more extensive operations.
Some little improvement going on
in Cleveland, very few loafers, which
speaks well for any place.
There is talk of a newspaper being
started here, can’t say whether it
will be a success or not.
But for fear of taxing your patience
I will close. By the way Mr. Edi
tor do you think there is a chance of
that new money coming this way,
I think a mere sight of it would in
spire us with new zeal and energy.
Vivacx.
Editor Eagle: Our friend Few of
the Brown House is entertaining
several members of the bar, and as
usual in such cases, anecdotes of the
richest kind are related whilst mine
host dispenses his hosp itality.
A few days ago, the g enerons and
whole Souled Col. P., of JDahlonega,
in relating the early incidents of
mining life at Knncklesville, alluded
to an occurrence which took place
where every rock on its principle
street is distinguished as having at
some time been thrown at the head
of someone. As the authenticity of
the tale is of an undoubted charac
ter, we have no hesitancy in vouching
for its truth, and relate it as ’twas
told to ns.
In the winter of 1865, whilst the
snow lay several inches deep in the
streets of Knncklesville, several of
B'hoys were attracted by the cheer
ful blaze of a bar-room lire and
whilst making themselves comforta
ble, were aroused by the entrance of
a Government agent, who demanded
that the Liquor barrels, and Cigar
boxes should be submitted for his in
spection. After a critical examina
tion, he was about to with
draw, when a certain Col Anderson
of witful rep utation, demanded of a
greenhorn present, if he understood
it? being informed that he could not
for the life of him see through it.
for the purpose of iuitiating his prote
gee in the mysteries of the art, this
fiery Colonel ordered drinks for all
hands, and fbrogd the Government
agent to drink a tumbler of Corn
Whiskey, in which eight dollars in
Revenue stamps had been previously
mixed, asserting at the same time,
with an oath, that in accordance with
„his interpretation of the law, the
stamps were to be taken internally.'

OUK WASHINGTON LETTEK.
[from our regular correspondent.]
Washington, D. C. March 23, 1778.
The bill reducing the army to
20 000 men, kuown as the Banning
bill, which was referred by the
House Democratic caucus to a com
mittee of thirteen, receives the en
dorsement dT that committee in all
its main provisions. On this bill,
the West Point appropriation bill,
and the army appropriation bill,
strangely enough, the more economi
cally disposed Democrats meet with
most opposition from Republicans
and most insubordination inside
their own ranks. Ouo would think
that, in time of poace, all would
unite in keeping down army expen
ses. Avery small army capable of
immediate increase in case of an
emergency, would seem to be all that
is required. There is nothing un
reasonable in the New York Suns
demand that the army be reduced to
10,000 men.
The legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill consoli
dates several bureaus in the Treas
ury, reduces the number of high
grade clerks, and creates anew
grade, viz, at SI,OOO. In the Treas
ury are many SIBOO clerks, whose
duties were important during the
war and immediately thereafter, but
who now earn their salary mainly by
signing receipts for it at the end of
the month, positions better paid than
these have become similarly useless,
and this bill consolidates a few of
them, but not nearly as many as it
might safely and properly do. The
chairmen of the House committees
complain that in their efforts to se
cure information on which to base
changes they do not h ve the co
operation of heads of departments.
This morning it is said that that
peerless reformer of the civil service.
Mr. Hayes only waits for Anderson’s
release from jail to appoint him col-
lector of the port of New Orleans
Anderson is deputy now. It has
never been denied that ten men of
the twelve on the jury which tried
Anderson believed him guilty of for
gery and perjury. It is also said
there has all along been an under
standing between Governor Nicholls
and Hayes that if the Supreme Court
did not liberate Anderson Nicholls
should pardon him. This is a “bar
gain” which tho friends of Hayes do
not deny. If a President accepting
office in the ordinary way and at a
time when the public feeling was not
still disturbed by recollections of a
great war, should do what Hayes has
done in this matter, he would have
no future in the politics of the coun
try. ..Pflu mm mi
The Senate committee on elections
has dbtMed that the credentials of
D- T. Corben, of South Carolina, are
still before it for action. The seat
claimed by Corben ii the one held by
M. C. Butler. The proceedings at
the time Gen. Butler was given the
seat were as follows: A resolution
was offered declaring him entitled to
the seat, and a substitute was offered
declaring Corben .entitled. The sub
stitute was voted down and the origi
nal resolution adopted. It is now
claimed, in substance, that the ques
tion is still open, and It is not thought
unlikely that a majority of the com
mittee will present a report declaring
Corben entitled. Such a report,
however, could not receive the sup
port of all the Republicans in the
senate, and could not be adopted.—
The desire of those urging the re
opening of the subject is of course to
make the “Southern question” again
prominent in politics Nice patriots
these Radicals are.
The Union and Central Pacific
railroads have now here, probably,
the heaviest lobby ever known in the
Another Burglary.
It seems that our city is and has
been infested for some time with a
gang of rogues who are determined
to themselves rich and impover
ish our merchants. They break in
discriminately into stores in all parts
of the city, not excepting even the
drug stores, and take what they
fancy. We recorded last week one
case of the sort, and now we must
tell of three more. On Saturday
night last, the stores of R. Palmer
and F. Pftffer were entered. Robt.
Butt was sleeping in Palmer’s store,
and hearing the thief, fired at him
with a shot-gun, doing, we suppose,
no damage, as he escaped hastily and
left no clue to his identity. A few
articles were taken from Mr. Pfeifer’s
store, which were so satisfactory that
the thief entered his place of business
again on Monday night and abstract
ed a lot of shoes, hats, -etc.
If this burglary business is not
broken up, there is no telling where
it will end and the damage that will
result from its continuance. What
say the city authorities about it ?
Our people are taxed, and taxation
for State or municipal purposes means
or ought to mean protection for life,
liberty and property. This our peo
ple have a right to expect and even
demand at the hands of the city au
thorities, and we think it now noth
ing more than their plain duty to
offer a reward of say two hundred
dollars for the apprehension of the
burglars engaged in any or all the
recent robberies, which would have
the effect of breaking up the gang
and driving them out of the country,
or having them caught and punished
as the law directs.
SVHNES AND MINING.
BY WM. AY. UABEi::-;UAM
THE MINEBAR BELT OF GEORGIA.
A mineral belt extends from Maine
on the North East to Alabama on
the South West, which contains al
most all the known minerals. Silver,
gold and other metals abound in
that portion of the belt extending
through North Carolina into North
East Georgia, aud from thence into
Alabama, from five to seven miles in
width running parallel with the main
zone.
The following are the minerals and
metals actually knowa to exist in
Georgia. Viz, Amethyst, Asbestus,
Baryta, Corundum, Coal, Calcite,
Copper, Diamond, Galena, (argentif
erous) Graphite, G >ld, Hematite,
(red and brown) Iron, Kaolin, Lsad,
Limestone, Marl, Manganese, Mica,
Magnetite, Novacn'ite, Opal, Pyrite,
Silver, Soapstone, smoky Quartz.
Tetradinyte, Tonnu.ilino an l Trip
oli.
That which is known a* the gmi
gold belt fiuds is greatest and. v 1 >p
ment of North Eisi Georgia, in tin
counties of Hall, H sb jrsha n, Limp
kin, White, Union, Banks, Cherokee,
Gilmer, and Dawson, and especially
in that portion of the State watered
by tho Chattahoochee and Chestatee
rivers. The Chestatee forms one of
the head waters of the celebrated
Chattahoochee, and has its rise in
foothills of the eastern slope of the
Blue Ridge mountains in Lumpkin
county, whence it flows in a south
westerly direction through the low
range of hills, between the Blue
Ridge and what is known as the
Chattahoochee Ridge, receiving in
its course several small affluents;
and beiug frequently intersected in
its tortuous course by tho great gold
belt, at the point of its richest devel
opment.
Tho mineral resources of Georgia
offer to capitalists a field for invest
ment with such prospects of profits
as have rarely been presented.—
With the outbreak of the late war,
mining, with all kindred industries
ceased in Georgia; but under the in
fluences of returning peace, it has
started into new life, with a vigor
and strength of capital unknown in
earlier days. During the past few
years old companies have returned
to their work with enlarged means,
while new companies have entered
the premising field with abundant
capital and all the modern applian
ces. The result of recent mining
operations have been such, in this
section, as to give abundant assur
ance that our most sanguine calcula
tions upon the mineral wealth of
Nurin East Gsprgia have bifcg'3iiSlsvf
the fact, and that
skilled and persevering industry to
make this mineral bearing sebtiojj
one of the most famous of the conti-,
nent. In tho county of *Lrqnp£in
alone will be found 13 Quartz mUte
working 150 stamps in active opera
tion upon the gold ores which abound.
Preparations are being made to
the silver and gold ores of Hall and
the adjoining counties, from which
a largo yield of the precious metals’
is expected in tho future.
The climate of North East Geor
gia is as salubrious as any on the
face of the earth. The Appalachian’
range here extends and changes its
course from North East and South
West, to East and West, and wlWe
it breaks tko force of the bleak north
winds of winter; the cool breezes
from the mountains moderate the
summer heat, and render this sec
tion a most delightful resort for resi
dents of the lower portions of the
State. While immigants from the
Northern States and
find here comparatively little frost or
snow to impede farm Work in winter,
they will experience no debilitating
heat in summer. The water is gen
erally pure freestone, and of such
temperature in summer as to dis
pense with all need of ice. In near
ly every neighborhood there are
springs containing iron,sulphur,mag
nesia and other minerals, to which
invalids from other sections resort,
and by whose medicinal properties j
they are restored to health. Everyj
variety of soil, except the alkaline ofjl
the west, may be found here. The
many well watered valleys are very
fertile, while there are productive
lands at all elevations, even to the.'
tops of some of the mountains.
excellency and variety of timber, this
section is probably unsurpassed.—
Being beyond the navigable points of
the streams, and, until recently, de
barred railroad facilities; it has es
caped the destruction of timber that
marks more accessible regions, and
the greater portion of the area is
still covered with original forests of
oak, hickory, walnut, poplar, chest
nut, beech, birch, sweet gum and
other varieties. With its abundant
supply of material, and its innu
nerable water-powers unuti lized and
unappreciated, North East Georgia
offers most attractive inducements to
the wood manufacturer.
The principal cereals are produced
with comparatively little labor, corn,
peas, all the small grains, sorghum
(known as the Chinese sugar cane)
potatoes, (irish and sweet) apples,
peaches, pears, plums, quinces, cher
ries, and small fruits, grow to per
fection, while cabbages and the root
°rops are of the fiuest, when properly
c ultivated Frequently, as much as
a bale of cotton to tbo acre is pro
duced. Both the climate and the
soil Eeem admirably adapted to the
production of tobacco, and its cul
ture is retarded only by the laws
which embarrass its sale.
Nothin" but want of transporta
tion facilities has prevented this
section from being thickly settled
long ago.
Since the completion of the Air
Line railroad, numerous villages have
sprung up all along its corns", a3 if
by magic, and are constantly grow
ing, while the rural population is ad
vancing with equal progress. With
the extension of the Northeastern
railroad, (now completed from Ath
ens to Bellton, on the Air Lice,
through Habersham and Rabun
counties, and connecting with
Knoxville; and the completion of the
North Georgia railroad, from Mari
etta, Ga., to Murphy, N. C, there
will evidently be a rapid influx of
population and capital to this desira
ble region.
Few i ortions of the habitable
globe cord tin as many advantages as
are In be f nnd in that portion of the
Stale of Georgia, known us the Pied
mont Range.
To those who would leave thei 1 '
State, to seek amidst the wilds of
.America that rest, for which they
have sighed, since the ruthless band
of war desolated our hills and valleys
and carried destruction to our pleas
ant homes and firesides we would
say stay.” Do not consider the past,”
but look to the future, so full of hope
and happiness. See already, what
energy and resolve have accom
plished, and what may be effected by
a determination to put your shoul
ders to the wheel. Strive to imitate
our gallant Colquitt and Gordon,
and let nothing deter you from us
ing your utmost endeavors to take
advantage of the dayspring which
is about to dawn upon us after the
long night of despondency and
gloom.
To our Northern friends who are
about to visit our section of the
State in search of homes we would
say, come ! you will be cordially re
ceived and entertained, and we
trust the numerous advantages
which our State possesses will in
duce you to make your homes in
Georgia.
