gold Mining Operations in Georgia.
The Dahlonega Signal reports that gold min-
■ n « operations in that section are generally at a
standstill, awaiting the movements of Northern
capitalists, and that these are mostly inactive ;
the Chestatee Company has suspended,
ica the Wood mine is worked but little, it any.
twenty-five hands are at work at Ives
^ one mile east of Dahlonega, with great
access; and small companies, composed of two
jo five in a group, are working about on the
branches, making from fifty cents to two dollars
per day to the hand, and more often fifty cents

parties that the Signal believes the Dahlonega
Merchants are bnying more gold now than they
did when all the companies were in successful

Fine Serviceable Type.
The reader will havo noticed that a change
has, within the last two months, been made in
the type of the Telegraph—the object being
condensation, and to secure a greater amount of
reading matter in the same space, while per.
keenly and the comfort of the reader are not ^ thi!t‘^^“of N^bem the
sacrificed. This, we greatly prefer to an on- I g

ascertain the opportunities, for business which are
now open there by reason of the low prices of land
and the abundance of labor.
•‘Mach of the land, it is said, can now bo had for
a dollar or two an acre, which would have sold for
twenty dollars before the rebellion, and will be worth
that price again as soon os industry shall revive and
the country become productive and peaceful. The
failure of many of the efforts to turn emigration
southward, which were made immediately after the
dose of the war, was duo to the delay in settling
the reconstruction question; to the facts that set
tlers scattered too much, nof aiming to keep near
enough together to protect each other; that they
bought property when it was from three to ten times
as high as it is now, running in debt for most it, and
losing all with its decline; planted cotton on a fall
ing market, without calculating on the fall; were
inexperienced in Southern industry, and were set
back by two successive unusually bad seasons. Re
construction. however, is now settled. Property has
fallen to its lowest possible point. - Gen. Grant will
soon give security and peace toall. Emigrants going
in communities will avoid the risks to person and cap
ital incurred by those going alone. * *

and workers in Florida. 4,000 in South Carolina.
6,000 each in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and

which pours westward ootild flow into tho South for
one year only,.the Southern States would be deliv
ered from the nightmare which now oppresses their
politics and industry. Who will organize and un
dertake the work ? It must be begun from motives
of patriotism as well as profit; must be actually
superintended by men of influence, ability and vig
or. and must be carried through with an industry
and energy like that with which we carried on the
great Etrnggle for the Union itself. Are tho right
men and women ready to volunteer for tho work?
If they are, it can and will be done.”
This scheme is not original with the Tribune,
bnt has been adopted in the colonization and
settlement of all barbarous countries from the
days of Nimrod down to the present time. It
was adopted by the cavaliers in Virginia and
Maryland, the Puritans in New England, the
Dutch in New York and the Quakers in Pennsyl

Richmond, Texas, January 16, 1869.
The middle of January finds numbers of
planters without labor sufficient to carry on even
their greatly curtailed fanning operations, in
this part of the State at least. Whither have
the negroes gone and what has become of them ?
are questions that ore often asked. Numbers of
large plantations ore almost entirely deserted,
and cabins, from which the smoke used ‘to
gracefully curl,” are, many of them now ten-
entless. The only way to account for this condi
tion of affairs must be found in the fact that
numbers of negroes in Texas have returned to
the States from whence they came. Strong local
attachment is one of the most prominent traits
in Cuffey’s character.
For the last eight or ten weeks floods of rain
have fallen,—more, I think, than I ever saw fall
in the same length of time, causing the new
year to make its appearance with very muddy
feet About a year ago, a writer in the Hous
ton Telegraph, who appeared to be an old citi
zen, asserted that Texas was subject to decades
of wet and dry weather. Such was the tradition
among the Mexicans, and his own experience
went to confirm its truth. From 1834 to 1S44,
the seasons were dry. From 1844 to 1854, the
seasons were wet. Again, from 1854 to 1864,
they were dry. The seasons that have elapsed
from 1864, have certainly been wet. There is
one comfort, if there is truth in this writer’s
assertion—we will this year, be more than half
over the wet decade. Dry seasons are much
better for fanning operations and general com
fort than wet

Affray at Carsonville, Ga.
HUlon Telegraph : At an early hoar in the
raing of the 15th, the citizens of our usually
iniet village were excited by the announcement
it an affray had just occurred among the col
red citizens of the village, in which two por
ous were seriously injured, and supposed to bo
a dying condition. Tho colored citizens
e running to and fro, bnt soon found that no
bite person had been connected with the af
ar. It was altogether a “nigger fuss.” The
Tillage doctor was sent for, in great haste, to
-■it the scene of conflict, and, if posable, pre-
at the death of the principal sufferers. The
Lvtor, being found, gathered his wallets and
of instruments, and in great haste, made
strides to the place of conflict, expecting to
i* bones and tie arteries; but, after examining
wounds carefully, and probing to bis s&tis-
nua, he announced to the excited crowd of
atis, and a few whites assembled, that the

itches and plasters.

But like the brandy of the shopkeeper in Ala-

Not far below Bryan City, a week or ten days
The work of colonization must be carried on i ago, some men got into an altercation about a
like the war—with great “energy and vigor,”
and by men of ‘ ‘influence and ability. ” It com
bines the two ideas of a pecuniary speculation
and a grand moral, intellectual and political cru
sade to deliver thotBouthem people from them
selves, and bring the'm to the light and knowl
edge of civilization and true holiness. It is a
grand combination of Sharpe's rifles, tracts, pis
tols, improved implements, stated preaching and
patent apple-parers and sausage machines. It
is a screed of doctrine and an ounce of lead to
enforce it. In short, it is a project to conquer
a peace by armed occupation.
Well, come on, nevertheless: come as yon
will, single or by the thousand—with gun, rifle
and pistol or with horse and plough. Come
and show us how much wiser and better you are.
How much more industrious, thrifty, just, hu
mane and merciful. How much better you can
preach and practice. What yon can teach us,
and what you will be compelled to learn. Both
will perhaps bo the wiser by the adventure, and
it will wind up, not in tunring the South into a
New England, but in turning so much of New
England into Southern men. We shall gain
some knowledge, perhaps, and you will lose
much conceit of fancied superiority.
The door is wide open—the room ample. The
Tribune says there is a growing disposition
among the people of the North to seek a milder
clime, and here they will have it. The Savan
nah News advises them to leave behind some of
their New England ideas and prejndicies; bnt
no; let them bring all their belongings. What
ever is good in their “ideas” will not hart, and
their prejudices will molify by association,when
they see that the Southern people are neither
savages nor fools, bnt fully up to the average of
mankind in all the proper attributes of humanity.
Hoarding Gold, and Investments in
State Securities.
The Constitutionalist indulges in some practi
cal suggestions upon the subject of hoarding
gold in Georgia, and estimates that abont twen
ty-five millions in gold are lying idle and unpro
ductive in Georgia. We do not know upon what
premises he bases so large an estimate—but, be
it smaller or greater, his suggestions upon the
disposition of it are worthy of reflection. We
quote:
At a moderate estimate, tho people of Geor
gia have in hand $25,000,000 in gold as idle and
unproductive capital. For all the real good it
accomplishes it might as well be sunk in the
Savannah river. Conceding that tho people of
Georgia have $25,000,000 in gold subject to em
ployment bnt withdrawn from the market, wo can
safely estimate the entire State, Municipal and
Railroad debt at $20,000,000, two-thirds of
which, say $14,000,000, must be held outside
the Commonwealth. On the debt is annually
laid an interest of abont $1,000,000. Hero we
iave a periodical drain keeping us constantly
impoverished while abundance seems to prevail
among the people. These obligations of oar
State, cities and coporations are now selling for
less than their face-valne in greenbacks. The
millions of dollars of the cold now buried would
approximate fourteen millions of dollars in cur
rency. With ten million of the capital now use
less, tiie debt of Georgia conld be bought up
and kept at home. With a few more years of
prosperity, there is no reason to doubt that this
debt will be paid in full in gold. The large
amount of interest saved to the commonwealth
could lie invested in fresh enterprises and give
an impetus to Georgia that would make her be
yond rivalry the Empire State of tho South.
Let us see how the interest would work to the
benefit of the individual.
We suppose a farmer to have one thousand
dollars in gold over and above bis probable wants
for this year. He sells his gold for 35 per cent,
advance, which would net him $1,350. With
$1,350 ho buys Georgia State Bonds at 90 cents
on the dollar. At this rate, he makes the State
his debtor to the tune of $1,500. On this sum
he will receive an annual interest of $105; and,
at the end of six years, without taking into con
sideration the compounding of the interest, his
horse, which resulted in the death of four of
them. I mean the alternators—not the horse.
It is needless to add that they were desperadoes.
The result tells that plain enongh.
This is almost equal to the death of the four
men that resulted in your own State from an
inclination manifested on the part of the luck
less schoolmaster, not long since, to apply a lit
tle “cutaneous ointment,” as a lubrication for
the brain. The “delightful task of teaching the
yonng idea how to thoot," was a complete suc
cess, as the result abundantly demonstrated. I
must think, if anxious mammas would grease
their young hopefuls well with “cutaneous oint
ment” when they deserved it, that urchins, be
fore they arrive at the age of puberty, or even
know the meaning of the term, would not be so
ready to flourish their derringer or six shooter
on the slightest provocation, or no provocation
at all. The prescription is so simple, and so
accessible to all, that it ought to be more gene
rally applied than it is; for although it is not a
quack nostrum you may bet yonr life, with no
danger of losing it, that the medicine will do no
harm, if it does no good. Bnt there is no well
authenticated case on record of its having failed
when applied in time and judiciously adminis
tered.
There has been as good as no immigration to
this part of the State this winter, notwithstand
ing its attractions of rich and cheap lands, cheap
living, and moderately fair health. People are
learning that comparatively poor lands can be
rendered wonderfully productive by the appli
cation of commercial manures. A new era is
dawning in that most healthful and honorablfe of
all occupations, agriculture. Science is eleva
ting it to its proper pedestal, and chemistry, by
rendering poor soil productive, and making
farming profitable, is ennobling agriculture and
clothing with new charm, the husbandman and
his occupation. The satisfactory results in
farming, in whatjis called “the poor lands of
Georgia,” is the theme of much comment among
the people here. Par Fois.
A Land and Immigration Bureau.
From the Atlanta Intelligencer.]
We lay before our readers the bill which has
been introduced into the. Legislature, entitled ;
“An'Act to create a Land and Immigration Bu
reau gor the State of Georgia.” That such a bu
reau, under the charge of a competent Com
missioner, would promote the best interests of
the State, no intelligent individual, we presume,
will deny. The bill itself, which has been in
troduced in all its details, sufficiently explains
the objects to be attained in the creation of the
bureau. We give place to it this afternoon, to
the exclusion of other matter, because we con
ceive it to be one of the most important meas
ures that will come before the present Legisla
ture for its action, and one which will doubtless
command the early attention of that body. It
reads as follows:
Section 1. Be it' enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives in General Assembly
met, That there shall be created a Land and
Immigration Bureau in and for tho State of
Georgia.
Sec. 2. There shall be elected by the Legis
lature a Chief Commissioner, with a salary of
two thousand dollars per annum, whose oflicee
shall be at the capitol, with power to use an of.
ficial seal.
Sec. 3. It >dudl be the duty of said Chief
Commissioner to supervise and direct all officials
connected with the Bureau of Immigration; to
prepare such publications as he may consider
necessary for a full understanding, at homo and
abroad, of the aim of tho Bureau; and the in
ducements which Georgia offers to settlers and
capitalists from the United States and from Eu
rope ; to cause them to be printed in such lan
guages as he shall deem necessary; to cause the
preparation of the map of the State showing tho
usual features of a complete geographical map,
geological formation, isothermal lines and zones
of the leading staples and most important agri
cultural p.oducts; to prepare a digest of the
laws of the State, touching the holding and
transfer of real estate, and to prepare a schedule
of the State taxation, comparing the same with
such other States as he shall deem to offer suit
able comparison.
To have sole charge of the emigration from
the other States of the Union, and to facilitate
and arrange the settlement of all such as shall
apply to ms office; to locate aud settle all the
emigrants from Europe.
To see that suitable lauds are at all times en
tered on the books of his office for the settle
ment of foreign and domestic emigrants, by the
landholders of the State, with terms of sale or
rent distinctly stated, which terms cannot be
altered while the lands remain for settlement on
hisbook8; that no lands shall be received by
him for settlement, except as are of his own
knowledge, or by proper vouchers, suitable for
the settlement of emigrants; that lands entered
shall be accompanied by proper descriptions,
(schedules for which descriptions he shall pre
pare and furnish npon application to landown
ers,) and by a survey of such lands; that he
shall solicit, receive and hold in trust free dona-
CITY
The Georou Memoeul Association.—The ladies
and gentlemen composing this Association—most of
whom are from our own city—have met with the
most remarkable success wherever they have given
concerts. At Savannah. Augusta and Columbus, it
seems the elite went en masse. The papera were
full of tho highest praise, the articles being of
character which showed that they were inspired by
the talent of the Company; not strained, but, like
tears, welling up from the heart.
An idea is abroad in tho world that pure musical
talent can alone spring from underneath Italian
skies. No one who ever heard the enchanting
notes of Mrs. Ogden or Mrs. Bacon believes this,
bnt we all know our own sunny land has talent of
this character of the highest order. And the extra
ordinary success which their concerts have met with
surprises no one here. We know that the world
readily rewards true merit, however much men may
grieve that their true worth is not properly appre
ciated. It as distinctly hears the still small voice as
the thunder and the galo. The obscure, modest,
mountain daisy challenged the pen of the poet as
quickly as tho brilliant garden rose.
The object of these concerts is not mercenary.
They are a requiem sang o’er tho graves of our dead
heroes. May we not hope that they hear them!
May wo not hope that their spirits hear those heav
enly notes as they swell upon the air, and find in
them the reward for their marches, their sacrifices,
their sufferings and their death
A School House, and not Exactly that Either.
A couple of very honest young men, evidently just
from their mother’s apron strings for the first time,
arrived in tho city yesterday for the purpose of tak
ing advantage of our excellent schools and getting
the hang of the ways of the world. They never had
been hero before, and, therefore, had a very imper
fect knowledge of city architecture, habits, sayings
and practices. They passed several houses looking
for the school building, inquiring at each if Ml'.
Vinegar Faco taught there. Among others they
stopped at the Southwestern Depot, Passenger Shed
and the Brown House. Getting no satisfaction they
were just about beginning to despair, when one of
them espied the guard houeo. That was it certain,
they thought. The high fence was to keep tho boys
in, and the iron bars across the windows were to
lock thorn up at night. Hitching their team they
knocked at the front gate, which brought out Mr.
Taylor. Ho was a little puzzled at their first ques
tion, which was: “Does old Vinegar Faco teach
school here r” “No, I teach bad boys to behave
themselves hero, though.” “What’s your name ?”
“Taylor.” “Well this ain’t the school we are look-
ingfor. “WhoredoesoldVinegarFacelive?” “Don’t
know him.” With this they turned off and contin
ued their pursuit of knowledge under difficulties. It

If this statement be correct, and we have ta
ken precaution that it shall be, every man who
ting surplus gold can see in it an investment at
once beneficial to himself and to the public
credit Planters, merchants and manufacturers
would consider it a nuisance if compelled to
support an idle hand—an expensive idler whose
keeping costs $100 per annum. And yet some
of these very men will bury $1000 in gold,
■which costs them yearly this very sum.
State Rights Doctrine from a Radical
Governor.
We alluded yesterday to a remarkable peora-
tion in the message of Governor Palmer, of Illi
nois. It is as follows:
“Now that the war has ended, and all its
proper objects attained, the public welfare de
mands a recurrence to the true principles that
underlie our system of government, and one of
the best established and most distinctly recog
nized of these is that the Federal Government
is one of enumerated powers. It is one of the
enumerated powers of the Federal Government
to regulate commerce among the several States,
and from this grant of power an attempt is made
to infer that of creating corporations with the
power to enter any of tho States, take private
property as for public uses, and prosecute
every corporation enterprize, regardless of
State authority. The correctness of this
inference is not admitted; bnt if it was
conceded to be just, in view of the em
barrassments it would create, the power ought
not to bo exercised. Such corporations would
embarrass the operations of those already cre
ated by the States; they would be exempt from
taxation by State authority—in short, the State
would have no power, by taxation or otherwise,
to retard, impede, burden, or in any maimer
control, the operations of such incorporations.
It is essential to tho usefulness of the State Gov
ernments that their jnst authority should be re
spected by that of the nation. Already the au
thority of the States is in a manner paralyzed
by a growing conviction that all their powers are
in some sense derivative and subordinate, and
not original and independent. The State Gov
ernments are a part of the American system of
government. They fill a well-defined place, and
their just authority must be respected by the
Federal Government, if it is expected that their
laws will be obeyed. ‘A frequent recurrence to
the fundamental principles of government is es
sential to civil,’ aud in this view I have thought
it proper to invite yonr attention to these sub
jects,
“It is the clear duty of the National Govern
ment to decline the exercise of all doubtful pow
ers when they neglect to do so would be to bring
it into fields of legislation already occupied by
the States, and thereby raising embarrassing
questions, and presenting a singular and danger
ous instance of jurisdiction, claiming the nght
to control the same class of subjects, and creat
ing rival corporations with differing powers.
Arguments maybe found for the exercise of this
class of powers by Congress, but they ore greatly
overbalanced by the evils it would produce.”

That Accident.—Mr. James Pope, one of the suf
ferers from the accident on the Macon & Brunswick
road, heretofore noticed in this paper, was in our
office yesterday, and gave us the names and resi
dence of each of the sufferers, as follows:
Jno. Ward, North Carolina, killed.
Mr. Davenport, Catoosa county, Ga., killed.
James Pope, Whitfield county, (near Dalton) Ga.,
shot in the mouth.
Wm. Sandsing, Catoosa county, Ga., slightly
wounded in the chin.
Mr. Pope said he saw the negro load his musket
that morning with buckshot, and that the negro re
marked at the time, that he intended to kill the first
man who fooled with him that day. Mr. P. further
stated that the negro was walking in front of the
crowd of men, among whom the shot took effect,
with the musket cocked on his shoulder, and that
he saw ihe negro look back as if to give the muzzle
of his gun the proper direction, and he then polled
the trigger. Mr. P. denies that himself or friends
were teasing the negro at the time; that being
strangers who had just arrived the night before,
they did not know the negro and had no object in
annoying him.
If Mr. Pope’s statements to us are correct, we
have only to say a most brutal and savage outrage
was committed, and the guilty party lias been ac
quitted of all criminality.

The market during tho week has been excited Lnd

week since the season opened. From Thursday last
until Monday noon, middlings stood at about 27
cents, though they touched 27j£ on Friday and Sat

prices fell off fully two cents, tho market closing

little done. The dispatches announced the market

immediately responded by an advance of fully one

Reconstructed Georgia not to be Recon
structed.—A Washington Dispatch to tho New
York Herald, of the 16th, says:
1 The Reconstruction Committee have closed
up their investigation of tho Georgia case, and
to-day sent a large amount of testimony to the
government. As soon as it is put in type the
committee will prepare a report. It seems to
be the general understanding that the commit
tee will report against any disturbance of the
present state of government of Georgia. They
propose to leave with the Legislature of Georgia
the question as to whether negroes aro entitled,
under the Constitution, to seats therein, with
the privilege of an appeal to Ihe State Courts
and from thence to the Supreme Court of the
United States. This, it is thought, will prove
a satisfactory arrangement for all concerned.”
William Gbeenleaf Webster, son of Noah
Webster, author of Webstor’s dictionary, and
who had much to do in the preparation of that
work, died in New York, on the 1st inst., at the
age of fifty-three,and was buried at Nsw Haven.
The Railboad War—Toe Injunctions.—The in
junction granted by Judge Cole in relation to the
purchase of the stock of the city of Savannah in
the Gulf road, will be argued by the counsel on
next Friday week. Tho matter will not rest with
the decision of the Superior, but will be taken by
tho losing side to the Supreme Court for a final
hearing. This will involve delay, and perhaps the
end may not he reached in twelve or eighteen
months.
Allusion was made in our paper yesterday to an
application to Judge Cole for an injunction against
the Macon A Brunswick Railroad. Judge Cole grant
ed it. The time for having the argument has not
been fixed.
We have no idea that the building of that road
will be stopped by these proceedings. Speaking in
tho interest of tho commerco of the city of Macon,
wo trust that the construction of this important line
will go forward without the slightest interruption.
The orignal stockholders in it were perfectly satis
fied with tho arrangement mado with Dabney, Mor
gan A Co. As to any State aid, that does not amount
to a row of pins. Take this away and the work will
still go on. _
Laborers—They Disappear from this Market.
It is now hard to find a colored man in Macon wil
ling to tako a situation in tho country. They have
all made their preparations and gone to the planta
tions.
The scarcity of labor is even now sorely felt in
Georgia. We know of no neighborhood which has
as many hands as it wants. Planters are here every
day asking for more help, but without mnch success.
Year by year the negro laboring population is rapidly
decreasing. The causes are well known. Tho fact
being conceded, our planters are deeply interested
in the vital question of supplying their places.
Street Drujuuno.—Tho City Council has adopted
an ordinance licensing street drummers, affixing the
charge at $200. This may amount to a prohibition.
Many merchants hope it will. They think the prac
tice reprehensible, and that in the long run it does
no good. People from the country often complain
of tho annoyance, and make it a rule to avoid estab
lishments employing runners.
It should be indulged in very modestly, if at all.
To solicit trade is perfectly legitimate and all right,
but a bouse should instruct its employees not to dis
gust a customer by importunancy, for persistency
in this respect convinces him that there is some
thing not right abont tho goods and wares offered
for sale. But to seize a man on tho public street
and almost literally drag him into tho store, is the
poorest policy which could be adopted. It requires
a powerful sight of good nature to keep an even
temper under such circumstances. It is best to
place the house upon its own merits, and deal in
goods which will carry their own recommendation.
Always remember this grand principle of merchan
dizing : never misrepresent an article, no matter
how great the reward. If you have three grades of
the same goods tell tho customer so, and point out
which is best aud which is not. Stewart, the most
successful merchant in the United States does this,
and be says that is the cause of his success.
The Reaction in Cotton.—There must be a limit
to the price of cotton. Tho fall on Monday night
has been anticipated. It advanced too fast to main
tain the highest price it reached. Our advice to
planters has boen to let it slide as soon as they could
get twenty-five cents, but when it got to that, many
of them naturally enough wanted more. They must
remember the sale of cotton goods has a good deal
to do with the cotton market. It will not do to bold
it too long. ’

ernment is Darmstadtian, the postoffice is North
