Til E EAG LK • Pi-id*?] Moraiag, March 28, 1878. J. E. HEI) WINE Editoi The Atlanta Tribune, of Wedne3* day, contains a manly article an nouncing the suspension of that pa ,,tr. Want of patronage is assigned ns the cause. The steam ship Eurydice was cap six. ] in n gale oil the coast of En gland on the 24th inst, and four bun dle 1 lives were lost. Only two of the passengers escaped to tell the tale. Ihe Constitution in enumerating the list of aily newspapers that have died in Atlanta since the war fails to mention the National American which our old friend J. S Pettersou says died “for the want of just exactly fifty dollars.” It tfterns that we are gradually ap proaching the borders of the “ good time” coming. Already we have 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 of the Agricultural Association was was not perfected last Tuesday and at the suggestion of leaders in the movement it was adjourned to meet next Tuesday (sale day.) We urge all our farmers who can do so, to at tend on that day, that the work of organization may be completed and the plans for the future agreed upon- 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 Lnivo been gained on the second day 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.

G ainesvirre, Ga., March, 27, 1878. 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.' * * I * Seventy tons Pacific Gurno jast arriving ffom the Works.

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.
