Congressional Convention.
Ah the election for Congressmen
cornea elf this f ill, it is probably not
premature for the constituted au
thorities of the Democratic party of
our district to take steps for the
thorough organization of the party
and the calling of a convention. We
notice that other district^are begin
ning to move in the matter, and it
will not do for the ninth, tlio strong
hold of Democracy, to be laggard.—
We therefore take the liberty of re
spectfully suggesting to Mnj. Hock
oulmll of Dawson county, the chair
man of the District Executive Com
mittee, the propriety of taking steps
at an early da}' to assemble his com
mittee at some convenient point, to
determine when the convention
shall be held and the manner in
which delegates shall be selected.
Independent Candidates.
Wo copy the article below from
that sterling paper the Telegraph <I■
Messenger ami commend it to the
thoughtful attention of our readers.
Wo will say to our respected Macon
contemporary and to all others, th it
the Democrats of the ninth district
have not the remotest idea of aban
doning their organization, but when
the proper time arrives they will se
lect one of the many worthy gentle
men whose names have been men
tioned in connection with congres
sional honors, and then elect.
The Southern Watchman, the organ
of Mr. Speer, who last year kicked
out of the regular Democratic traces,
reads the Constitution a solid lecture
for recommending that we adhere to
old usages and nominations by con
vention. In the course of its remarks
the Watchman says:
The next canvass in Georgia promises
to bo extremely warm, and we promise
our esteemed friends of the Constitution
that so far as the ‘.fill Cougessioual Dis
trict is concerned, the so-calleil nom
inee of the so-called Convention will be
the last man in the race.
This is throwing down the gauntlet
to the whole party, and a direct
avowal that it will not. bo bound by
any of its rules, regulations or machi
nery.
Indeed, it is equivalent to elevating
the personal aspirations of individ
u i Is, above the good and perpetuity
of the only political organization that
can continue to conserve the interests
and well being of the commonwealth.
We are sorry to chronicle the fact.
(1 anted, that isolated local instan
ces may occur whero conventions are
managed so as to defeat the will of
the people.
But these are except oaal cases, and
do not constitute the rule. They
should be remedied by increased dil
igence in the appointment of dele
gates, or by resorting to a Democratic
jMAscile to assure as near as possible
a true expression of thejpopular will.
To jump to the conclusion, even con
ceding the proposition (which we
are not prepared to admit;, that be
cause the “regulars” abused the confi
dence of the voters of the Ninth Dis
trict, therefore, hereafter all party
organizations should be abandoned
and the Democracy placed at the
mercy of a compact Radical clement,
would be utterly destructive of the
best interests of the great party which
is the hope of the nation. We trust
<mr respected contemporary and all
the people o: the ninth will return to
the eiiy safe rule of action in politi
cal nominations—the voice of the
people as indicated in primary assem
bly or at the ballot box.
The Sit te Female Seminary in (Haines*
vi le.
ITS INCIPIENCY.
After several gear’s consideration
on the part of the Baptist Conven
tion of the State of Georgia, it was
decided at its late session in this city
last April, to establish, within our
corporate limits, a Female Seminary
of bign order. The executive com
mittee of that body was instructed
to adopt the necessary means tc car
ry out the intentions of the resolu
tions upon that subject. According
ly, late in July last, said Executive
Committee appointed an advisory
board, consisting of Mayor D. G-
Candler, W. C. Wilkes, A. J. Kelly,
J. W. Bailey, D. McCurry, W. C.
Smith, Jno. Garner, A. T. Spalding,
and W. P. Price, with full power to
appoint agents and collect funds to
build and endow said seminary. As
soon as practicable this advisory
board met and appointed Itev. W.
C. Wilkes as General Agent. And
he, very pi udently, decided to test
the feeling of North Georgia upon
the subject. After visiting churches
and associations in 10 or 15 counties,
and laying the plan of the seminary
before them, he was greatly encour
aged to find
NORTH GEORGIA IN FULL SYMPATHY
with the enterprise. He soon obtain
ed subscriptions to the seminary
amounting to nearly $7,000. The in
stitution was attracting attention
all over Georgia, and even in neigh
boring States. The willingness of
the denomination and tho friends of
education to build up and foster a
University upon the broadest and
most economical scale possible, was
no longer a question. At this junc
tion, it was proper for the city to de
cide by a vote whether she would
sustain her Mayor and council in
their proposition to the Baptist Con
vention. In November last, tho cit
izens by
A LARGE MAJORITY,
ratified the action of our city author
ities.
Feeling still more encouraged, th e
general agent went to work again,
sending out circulars and writing to
hundreds of prominent persons in
Georgia and elsewhere. A kind
Providence seems to have smiled up
on his efforts in bringing to his help
the Hon. David E. Butler, of Madi
son. Col. Butler was soon appoint
ed General Financial agent, with full
authority to collect funds for the
seminary, wherever, in tho United
States, he could find friends of wo
man, willing to help educate our
daughters. Col. Butler
IS THE PRINCE OF AGENTS.
A man better suited for the work c m
hardly be found in the state of Geor
gia, nrobably not in the United States.
But he needs no commendation from
us, for his fame extends much farther
than the Eagle is wont to soar. —
About two months ago,
PROPOSALS FOR A SITE
for the seminary were invited. The
terms upon which they were to be
presented were carefully stated, by
the Advisory board, and, after some
delay, nine beautiful sites, accompa'
nied (nearly all) by handsome sub
scriptions, were generously offered.
As each member of the city council
and the advisory board was person
ally interested in someone of the
nine locations offered, it was agreed
that a joint committee, selected from
the city council and the advisory
board, should choose five men from
neighboring counties and towns, es
teemed for their intelligence, integri
ty and devotion to the cause of edu
cation, to be known as a locating
board, who should examine and de
cide for us, which is the most suita
ble for our seminary. Hon. J. H-
James, of Atlanta, Prof. E H. Beck,
of Dahlouega, Gen. G. J. N. Wilson,
of Jefferson, Rev. W. A. Hawkins, of
Cumming and Rev. Tkos. Crvmes, of
Toccoa, were invited to perform this
delicate task. On Thursday the 4th
inst.., at 101 o’clock a. w., the Joint
committee being present in the coun
cil chamber, it was agreed that the
sealed proposals, in possession of our
i Mayor, should be delivered to the
four gentlemen present, and that they
proceed to open the sealed proposals,
and, as far as practicable, examine
the various locations tendered. Con
veyances were furnished and the
Committee accompanied to each place
offered.
By 51 p. m. a thorough examination
was made. The Committee decided
to meet in secret session in the coun
cil chamber at 8 p. in., when they ex
pected Mr. James from Atlanta to
arrive and sit with them. He did
come, but declined to give his vote
for or against any place until he had
seen and examined for himself. On
his way to his room in the Gaines
ville Hotel that night, 119 met Mr.
Wilkes and asked him to come to
town next morning with his buggy and
show him each of the nine places.—
Mr. W. did so carefully and fully,
until Mr James would say, “that is
sufficient, go to the next.” While
making the examination, Mr. J. ex
pressed no opinion for or against
any place, neither did Mr. W • make
known his preference. Of this we
are assured by Mr. W. and the affir
mation of Mr. James himself. W o
believe this Committee made a fair,
honorable and wise selection. As
proof of it,a quarter of a century ago,
when Gainesville was a little village,
and choice places were not occupied
bv private residences as now Dr.
Richard Banks, Mr. M. W. Brown,
Mr. J. E Brown, Mr. Andrew Thomp
son, and Mr. James Law, selected
a3 a choice site for a Female Acade
my, a lot within a 6tone’s throw of
the lot which our Committee has se
lected for our Stale Seminary.
On the evening of the sth inst.
quite a number of the citizens assem
bled in the Court House, and, after
hearing very appropriate addresses
from Col. Estes, Hon. John H.
James, Col. C W. Styles, Hon. D. E.
Butler and Hon. A. D. Candler, the
congregation by a very large majori
ty voted, approving the action of the
Locating Committee and pledging
support to the Seminary. Only four
voted in the negative.
THE SITE DESCRIBED.
It is about 500 yards east from
the Court House; is bound on the
west by Rac9 street; on the south
by Spring street; and by beautiful
groves of native forest on the north
and east; anl contains ten acres of
land. It is a high and dry plat of
ground; no bog, or pond on it or
any where near it; nor does any
stream of water run through it.
ITS ALTITUDE.
Is worthy of note. It is thirteen
feet higher than the Court House
Square; twenty-five feet higher than
the College hill; sixty-three feet
higher than the Air Line railroad;
several feet higher than the Female
Academy lot; two feet lower than
Mrs. Dr. Banks’ lot; is on a level
with the eaves of the Piedmont Hotel.
Is within a few feet of being as high
as any point inside the corporation,
with drainage as perfect as could be
desired.
As yet we have not heard of a
man, woman or child, living in old
town, complaining of its eligibility,
accessibility, centrality, neighbor
hood, or excellency of the water.
A few yards from the iuclosure on
the east side, is a
CHALYBEATE SPRING,
which is strongly impregnated with
iron, and contains sulphur and lime.
It has been a place of considerable
resort, years ago.
OUR DUTY NOW.
Ist. Me must pay for the lot, get a
deed for it which we can send by our
delegate to the Georgia Baptist S ate
Convention, soon to assemble in La
Grange.
2nd. To enable the General
Agent to make this payment, every
subscriber and every friend is re
quested to pay at once his first, and,
if he can, his second installment of
the sum promised.
3d. As soon as the lot is paid for,
a competent architect must be sent
for, to make out a plan cf the main
E lilice and 15 or 20 cottages.
4th. Last but not least, every good
citizen will understand how impor
tant it is to exercise a spirit of for
bearance and harmony, and to show
our patriotism aud strength by unity
of effort.
MINES AND MINING.
BY WM. IV. HABBUSH AM. ■
The remonetization of silver, and
making it equal with gold, has
brought about a reaction; aud the
depression caused by the intlation of
currency, has given place to busi
ness activity and a return of confi
dence, scarcely hoped for by the
most sanguine.
Already in Northern Georgia are
to be found evidences of the result of
the late action of Congress, in pass
ing laws to govern the currency.
Northern and Western capitalists;
attracted by the numerous advan
tages possessed by the State of Geor
gia, have invested heavily in our
mines, and are about to induce many
others to follow their example.
Preparatory to investing in the
mines of North Georgia in 1858, a
Northern company employed Mr.
Amory Dexter, a civil eugiueer of
high repute, to survey the county of
Lumpkin, aud to report the most
feasible route through which to con
struct a twenty mile ditch, for the
purpose of conveying water to the
rich mining lots all along the line. In
carrying out thi3 work, the engineer
found the whole section so rich in
gold, and made so favorable a report,
that the company was induced to ex
pend over two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in carrying out
their plans.
This work which was suspended
during the war, has been resumed,
and is now furnishing a large supply
of water to a section of country
abounding in rich quartz veins.
During one year, from Ist June
187 G to Ist June 1877, the gold ta
ken from surface washings in the im
mediate vicinity of the town of Dali
lonega, Lumpkin county, by the
country people, and sold to the mer
chants of that town, amounted to
$10,716 00. As this large amouut of
the precious metal was derived from
the micaceous sand rock and slate
which abounds in the side hills aud
gulches of the mountains, and which
is the result of an upheaval, what
may we expect when shafts are sunk
and tunnels run, and the leads are
worked below water level, at aT point
where the gold bearing quartz will
be struck, and the mines fully devel
oped ?
Iu the vicinity of Gainesville, Hall
county, Georgia will be found a very
rich portion of the mineral belt, con
taining an abundance of argentifer
ous galena; which is destined in the
future to play a very prominent part
in the political economy of our coun
try. There are many points of in
terest in this section; and the wes
tern miner is attracted by peculiari
ties strongly resembling those of the
richest portions of the miniug sec
tion of Nevada, where the richest
mines are being worked. In 1858,
that portion cf Nevada now being
worked for silver and gold, was pros
pectc-d and worked for gold alone.—
In working the gold mines, argentif
erous galena, or lead containing gold
and silver, was thrown aside as being
worthless.
In the fall of 1858, the Grosch
Bros, realized that the dark blue
metaliferous ore contained a large
amount of silver and gol !, and made
the fact known to bankers in San
Francisco, who immediately took ad
vantage of the information, and pur
chased the principal portion of tho
miniug interest. They immediately
commenced operations on a large
scale; and in a few years the Com
stock gold and silver mines became
world renowned. At the present
time, these mines are yielding a fab
ulous amount of gold aud bi ver, am:
the yield is steadily increasing
they are the more developed
The following facts are worthy of
note, viz: Ist. That the top rOek or
croppings of the argentiferous galena
mines of Hall county, Georgia have
been thoroughly assayed, and are
found to contain a larger amount of
gold and silver, than was found in
the same character of ore in the Ne
vada mines. 2nd, That at the depth
of forty feet, a larger amount of ar
gentiferous galena ore has been ta
ken from a shaft upon the Lowinan
& Company silver mine near Gaines
ville in Hall county Georgia, than
has ever been derived from any
shaft of the Nevada mines at a simi
lar depth. 3J, That the facilities
for working the Georgia mines are
much greater than those of the Ne
vada mines. 4th, That the portion
of the mineral belt extending from
North Carolina through Georgia in
to Alabama, for a distance of over
ono hundred miles, has been thor
oughly prospected, and is found to
contain mines of gold, silver, copper
and other metals, throughout the
whole distance. Hence we may nat
urally conclude, that the future pros
pects of the mining portions of the
State of Georgia are equally as great
as were those of the richest mining
section of tho Pacific Coast, when
the mines of Nevada were first dis
covered.
Eighty-five miles northeast of At
lanta, and thirty miles due north of
Gainesville, nestling in the bosom of
the Blue Ridge mountains, about
5000 feet above the level of the At
lantic Ocean, will bo found the beau
tiful vale of Nacoochee.in which, ages
ago the Mound Builders (an extinct
race) lived, and where De Soto, the
Spanish conqueror, built fortifica
tions, aud worked for gold and silver
in 1542.
Capt. John H. Nichols a wealthy
Georgia gentleman, attracted by the
beauty of the scenery and healthful
ness of the climate, has made his
home in this delightful valley, and
amid the silent retreats, made musi
cal by the numerous water falls, en
joys that ease and comfort unknown
to the denizens of cities.
This section has been worked for
gold since 1836, and has yielded
nearly three million dollars, from
mines worked in the most superficial
manner.
We would call the attention of the
owners of land in Hall and the coun
ties lying within the mineral belt ol
Georgia, to the fact, that great inter
est is being taken by capitalists in
the rich gold mines with which the
State abounds, and that almost dai
ly, parties form the North and West
are arriving with a view 7 of purchas
ing. It is right and proper that
these gentlemen should be properly
received and hospitably entertained,
whilst iu our midst, and that every
thing should be done to induce them
to invest in our mineral and agricul
tural lands. But there is a class of
men, known iu all miuiug communi
ties as “Harpies,” who would suck
the life-blood from the veins of those
who from absolute necessity are com
pelled to lease their mineral interest,
with the hope or obtaining a small
pittance upon which to live; and
who would not hesitate to take every
advantage of the uninformed man.—
We would advise our friends to be
very cautious in leasing their prop
erty and to consult us, ere they place
it in the hands of strangers
The Macon Telegraph & Messenger
says that Christopher J. Wilcox of
that city Las invented and patented
anew saw which it is believed will
create a revolution in the mechanical
world.
Of the invention that paper says:
“The new principle on which the
patent issued consists in so arrang
ing the teeth of the saw that it acts
not only as a saw, but also as a plane,
and the wood on leaving it is in a
dressed condition, as if it had passed
through a planing machine, or been
dress >d with a plane in the hands of
an experienced carpenter. The saw
is arranged with sets of teeth three
in a set, with what is known as a
clearing tooth in front and two cut
ting and the other on the opposite
side, and in the movement or rotation,
as the case may be, the wood and
with it the roughness is cleared away
and the surface is left as smooth as if
planed and ready for building pur
poses and the painter’s brush.”
We have.had fine seasons for the last
few days, and the weather is now as
balmv as May.
