Mineral Excitement in Whitfisd.— Some
I weeks ago an excavation in the earth was dis
covered on the lands of Mr. Gassaway, living
about 6 mils from Dalton, which, from the pains
that had evidently been taken by some one to J
conceal it, and the “top appearance” of the land, j
gave its owner reason to believe that the Tunnel I
led to mineral treasures, bidden under the hi 11...
The fiont of the. cave was, with considerable !
difficulty, cleared away, and they had proceed ? ,t j
but a few feet in the Tunnel when the opera' 0 : ->
found their progress impeded by a stone wait i
carefully built across it from one side to Uieoth- I
er. This wall they have removed and are now j
proceeding farther in the Tunnel. ThereseeriM
to be no doubt but that it was cut many years
, ago,and we know of no other inducement ior
any person to have taken the trouble to cut .<
Tunnel of such length as this seems to be, than a
prospect of abundant rich minerals to repay
them. About fifty feet of tbe Tunnel has been
cleared away, and we are informed that ail along
there are good indications of silver and copper. ’
Anotherthing which tends to strengthen the
belief that there is an abundance of silver there,
is the report ol a gentleman who returned from
the Cherokee Nation some years ago. He sa) s
that he was informed'by a very intelligent In
dian, who fomeriy resided near Dalton, tin 6
there was a silver mine of immense value,
lying about thirteen miles from the mouth of
Oostanauly Creek, in a due westernly di
rection ; that it had been worked: that the
mouth of the Tunnel might be discovered 1
carefully concealed at the root of a large Oak. ,
This place fills the description precisely, and !
must be the identical spot alluded to by the
Indian. <
Should it turn out, upon a further test, to be of \
any value, we shall take the trouble to visit it I
and give a more minute description of it.—Dal

Lumber Trade of Savannah.
The sale of Lumber is getting to be a very
impoitant branch of the trade of our sister city,
and as will be seen by tables published below,
is rapidly increasing. In the annual review ot
the trade of that city, we find the following re
marks in the Republican of the Ist inst.
*• It is pleasure we refer to the immense
increase in the Lumber and Timber business ot
Savannah. Always a considerable item in the
exports from this port, it has assumed an impor
tance during the past two or three years, only
second to that of our great staple, cotton. It will
be seen by reference to the table which we an
nex, showing by the exports of these articles,
that the exports for this year exceed those of
last, by 19,149,500 feet, and those of 1842, by
41,465,300 feet. The Southern or Yellow Pine
is now very generally used in the construction
of vessels, though formerly it was not considered
adapted to the building of vessels. Lumber
freights during the past six months have been
very remunerative, and have attracted to our
port a large number of vessels of all classes.—
With exhaustible forests in this and adjoining
States, from whence it can easily be brought to
this market, may we not reasonably expeci that
this trade will go on increasing from year to year,
and become at no distant day a business second
jto no other ? We annex the exports for the past
thirteen years.

U. S. District Court. —The Marietta Ad- !
vocate of the 31st ult., says: The District Court
of the United States for the Northern District of
Georgia will not be held, as we are informed, in
the second Monday in September.
Judge Nicoll and the U. S. Marshal residing
in Savannah, would feel bound to return to that
place immediately after Court if it should be
held. This would, in the present prevalence of
the yellow fever in Savannah, greatly increase
then liability to attack. It has been considered
advisable by them, therefore, not to leave the
city. We are pleased to state that the attorneys
having business in the Court have, as many of
them, promply assented to the proposed adjourn
ment for the cause above mentioned.
The Telegraph Fire Alarm has been brought
to perfection, or the next thing to it, in New
York. By means of the telegraphic wire the oc
currence of a fire in any part of the city is im
mediately announced in she office of each dis
trict bell ringer; the magnetic influence ringing
a little bell, according to the number of the dis
trict in which the fire breaks out.
Violent Tordado in Virginia. —We learn
from the Petersburg Express, 4hat one of the
most terrific storms, accompanied by hail, thun
der and lightning, visited the upper end of Din
widdie county, Va., on Sunday afternoon last,
that has ever been experienced by even the old
est inhabitants. The rains descended in torrents,
j and haii stones fell ot an er.ormous size, utterly
annihilating the growing crop of tobacco, and lit
erally cutting the corn to pieces. The lightning
struck the horses attached to the carriage of Mr.
E. A. Davis, killing the pair of them, and inju
ling the driver so severely, that the skin peeled
entirely of! his legs and one side of hi 3 body.—
all the female members of his family were in
the carriage at the time, but received no injury
beyond a severe shock.
The U. S. Assay and Treasury Offices at
New York. —lt is stated that orders have been
received at the sub-treasury in New York to pay
the Bank of the State of New York $272,850 88,
and the Bank of Commerce $244,505 69—total,
$518,361 59—for the premises in Wall street,
purchased of them for the use of Government, as
Assay and Treasury Offices. The terms were
$530,000, or $53,000 yearly rent. It bought,
then any rent paid was to be deducted, and in
terest allowed at the rate of 6 per cent, per an
num, for the time elapsed since the purchase.

Healiu of Marietta. —We have been very
much surprised (says the Advocate) at the reck
| lessness which originates and gives currency to
such rumors as that of the Savannah News of
! last week in regard to the health of Marietta.—
{t was there stated “ upon good authority” that
the typhus fever was prevailing in Marietta,and
that Savannah people were leaving the pjfcce on
account of it. The report is altogether unfound
ed.
The Corn Crop and the Drought. —The
New York Journal of Commerce, alluding to the
corn crop, says:
“Our own opinion is, that the damage to the
crop, although severe, has been greatly exagger
ated. There is no crop in this country which
bears dry weather so well as corn, and a hot, dry
summer is necessary, in many varieties of soil,
for the security of the yield, Those who hoard
for famine rates will probably find themselues
disappointed, while those who sell at prices
whcb will pay them fora paitial crop far better
than the average price fora full yield, will find
themselves gainers in the long run.”
The Louisville Courier of the 20th. says:
“In conversation with a farmer in this county,
and an observant gentleman of Clark county,
Indiana, the former informed us that he would
make 70 bushels of corn to the acre, and in Clark
the yield would average 30 bushels to the acre.
If these statements are correct, it would seem to
indicate that the corn crop will not be as defi
cient as supposed, particularly in the vicinity o!
the Ohio river. A few weeks will determine
the matter.
The coal product of the world in the year
1853 is estimated at 75,000,000 tons of which
amount 40,000,000 were produced by Great
Britain, and 9,000,000 by the United States.
The Drought in Illinois. —A letter from
Illinois says the drought in some sections of that
State is unprecedented, and adds :
Stock hogs are offered at lc. per pound, and
old corn is held at ft per bushel—in the central
part 37$c. is offered to contract the new crop
corn. I have never seen such a total failure of
crop before. The spring wheat crop is average,
the quality good. Winter wheat is small, the
potato crop is an entire failure; there will not
be as many dug as were planted.
In Portland, Me., the drought has rendered
! the pumps useless ; drinking water is 75 cents a
barrel, and all the beautiful elm trees are dying
! for want of water.
, A Caution—Sickness among Visitors to Ma
rietta.
Persons leaving the city, whether called off by
| business,or withdrawing for the purpose ol avoid
; in| the epidemic, should in no cate fail to take
| with them medicine and medical advice. The
! malady may ■ develop itself several days after
j their departure—where a physician cannot read
' ily be obtained, or if obtained, his prescriptions
! will be less trustworthy than those of members
of the faculty who have been for days or weeks
in constant attendance on the disease.
We are induced to make this suggestion by
the perusal of an extract from a letter of a phy
sician of Upper Georgia, to one of his brethren
in this city, enquiring the mode of treatment
i adopted here. In it the letter speaks of the
j death of a Mr. Savage, of this city, at Roswell,
in a few days after hi 3 arrival there, of yellow
■ fever. He also conveys tb# painful intelligence
that the disease had made its appearance among
citizens at Marietta—which is “ flooded with
i people from Savannah.” “There is now, Aug.
. I 29 tb, some five cases—(be writes) persons taken
' ; since their arrival. It has raised quite a panic.”
—Sauannah Georgia, Sept. 1.
An inquest was held yesterday over the body
of a member of the typographical fraternitv,
named Thomas M. Knox, who, while laboring
under mental alienation from the effect of fsver,
jumped out of a window in the third story of a
house in Maiket-treet, occupied by F. C. Lynch,
and received such injuries as to cause immediate
death. A verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above facts. Mr. Knox was a native
of Ireland, and had but a few days sinee return
ed from Abbeville, where his family- reside. —

Florida Quarantine. — The Welaka, Capt.
King, returns this morning, bringing back with
him the Florida Mails, not having been able, we
understand, to effect a disembarkation, except of
freight, at Jacksonville. Passengers were landed
five miles below the city. The Postmaster
offered to receive the mails at the wharl, but
Captain King refused to deliver them except in
person, and being prevented from going into the
city himself,.thought it his duty to bring them
back with him.
It seems that Capt. King first received notice
of the quarantine at St. Marys. He was inform
ed that a physician would meet him at Dame’s
Point. At this place no one appearing, the Cap
tain pushed on to Jacksonville. No physician
there came on board. Refused permission to
land, the Capt. proceeded to Palatka.—Return
ing to Jacksonville, he found the authorities un
willing to make any concession or to send a
physician on board, Capt. King was even sum
moned to appear before the Council. Unable to
get any satisfaction, or to deposit the mails ac
cording to the terms of his contract, the Captain
returned to this city as above stated. We re
mark in closing that the Carolina from Charles
ton, had been allowed to land but two hours be
fore.—Jour if Courier , 3 Oth ult.
Copter Mines in Cass.— Several_lots have
been leased in this county, on which the evi
dence ot Copper are so plainly discernible that
the lessees will soon commence opeiatingfon
them. One or two of them are within a short
distance of our town, and we shall not be sur
prised if Cassville becomes, before a great while,
the bead quarters of half a dozen large mining
companies.— Cassville Standard , 1 stinst.
The Weather. —On Saturday, Sunday and
Monday last, we had another touch of genuine
summer weather. In our office the mercury
stood on Saturday at 3 o’clock, P. M. as high as
92, and on Monday, at the same hour, it rose to
90. On Sunday we did not notice the thermom
eter, but it must have been quite as hot as the
day previous, judging, as Mr. Yellowplush would
say, “ from our feelings.”— lb.
Our Rail Road.— We are frequently asked
“what has become of the Ellijay and Duck Town
Railroad?” In reply, we beg to assure its friends
taat the people of Cass county have no idea of
abandoning the enterprise. Sometime during
next week, a party, consisting of L. P. Grant,
Esq., (Civil Engineer,) Capt. J. R. Swift, and
others, propose to ride over the route, preparato
ry to a regular survey. As soon as the prelimi
nary survey is made, the books lor subscription
will be opened, and the ball set regularly in mo

The market the past week has been extremely
dull. The stock on sale is very small, and there
are no buyers here. The sales during the week
have been limited to a lew small lots at irregular
prices, so much so that wo arc uaablo to quote.
But a few bales of the new crop have been receiv
ed up to the present time, and the receipts con
tinue exceedingly light. Until cotton begins to
come in freely we need expect but a light business.
Sea Islands. —The business in this quality of
Cotton, during the past week has been light. The

CHARLESTON, Sept. I.— Cotton.— Thero was
a good enquiry for this article during the previous
week, and former prices were sustained, if we ex- J
cept the lower qualities, which occasionally wero *
sold on terms favorable to purchasers. During the
week under review, however, the staple has been \
very much neglected. Tho market, from day to
day, has manifested a declining tendency, and §>
when we closed our enquiries yesterday, prices I
had declined all of £ a j cent, and the common
qualities, which compri.so by far the bulk of tho
stock, have suffered even a greater reduction.— f
The quotations which we give below will indicate (
the state of the market at the close of the week. '
The receipts since our last reach upwards of 4000
bales, and the operations in the same time were t
limited in round numbers to 1700 bales, at prices
ranging from 6j to lOje. Wo quote Inferior, un
settled —; Ordinary to Good Ordinary, 71 a8; ?
Middling to Strict Middling, §f aV; Good Mid- j
dling, 9{ a 9}; and Middling Fair. 9$ a 100., nom
inal. The transactions in Long Cotton are of too I
trifling a character to deserve particular notice. '>
Corn. —The receipts since our last comprise 3,700
bushols Maryland, and 2,700 bushels North Caroli
na, which were sol iat prices within the range of |
our quotations—the latter, however is an extreme
| price and only obtained for very prime parcels.
Flour. —The stock is increasing, which has a de- f
I cidodly depressing influence on prices, and holders
i have not been able to soil as well as during the
! previous week. The demand has been confined Sj
solely to small lots, to supply the trade. Prices
have ranged from 8 j aSBJ, for barrels, and from
4$ a s4|, for sicks. Tho arrivals by Railroad, ,
sin e our last, comprise 1168 baerels, and 900 sacks. *
Bacon* —There has been some demand for good
Shoulders and Sides, and the former has been sell
ing from 7a7J, and the latter from BJa9.
Salt.— The receipts since our last comprise 5900
sacks, which wero sold on terms not made public.
Groceries —There have been no wholesale tran
sactions in any of the leading articles comprised
under this head; our jobbors, however, have be»n
actively engaged in filling orders for the interior,
The supply of Sugar is light, and prices have a de
