^dve^istr and J T. 0. STACY, Editor «nd Proprietor. BRUNSWICK, - GEORGIA: SATURDAY MORBINO, SEPTEMBER 24. 1881. OUR DEAD PRESIDENT. At lust we are called upon to write tho sad words—the President is dead. His fight for life for gallant, and u na tion’s prayers went up to Him who governs tho affairs of men to spare him to tho country. A largo hearted, broad minded man, a thorough student of his coun try’s history, an apt learner of the les sons that history taught, freo from bitterness, fall of an exalted ambition to be tho President of tho whoJo coun try, his inaugural announced a policy which was welcomed by all well-wish ers of their country as tho dating of a now era, iu which tho voico of section alism should bo hushed, and peace and business activity and prosperity fill onr land with gladness. His family relations, so tender and true, gave brightest promise of tho fu ture, for the man who combined so many qnalities desirable in tho Presi dent's office, and was at tho samo timo a loving and devoted son, husband and father, could not make u bad President. His choice of Cabinet officers, tested by the touchstone of experience, was wise, and their actions patriotic. A financial success in tho treasury, sweeping reforms in tho Postmaster Goneral's office, a wise and liberal aud evon brilliant administration of tho State Department, a firm detormins. tion in tho Attorney Goncral^ office to uuoarth all frauds and punish tho authors, mado the opening of the ox- ecutivo term, short as it hus been, u help to the country. Tho President's bravo and deter mined contest with tho machine poli ticians, and its successful result, was another indication thut our conutry had fallen upon good times, and that a now ora hud truly dawnod upon our land, so long rout by political dissen sion and strife. All this bright promise was blotted out by the hand of the assasaiu, and for two months and a half fifty mil lions of people liavo anxiously waited, hoped, feared and prayed. Who con gazo upon this spectacle of a vast country without a chief executive offi cer for nearly two months and a half, moving along quietly and peaceably, without ovon a panic iu tho lluancial world, and not admire tho institutious which ruako this possible. The sud nows of bis death has come —tbo Vice President assumes tbo du ties of tho office. Lot us hope aud trust thut his udmi: able conduct duriug the past \voary day® of illness and of watching, are the promise that in the Presidency ho will sink the partizau and bo tho President of the whole country, from M'.'.iuo to Texas, from the Atlantic to tho Pacific. Ho has, if lie will do this, an opportunity which may well fill tho measure of any man’s ambition. A whole j>coplo sympathize with tho bravo woman who, forgotting hor owu illness iu her great love for him we knew as President, she as loving bus- baud and father, hastened to his bed side, and there has demeaned herself so nobly, keeping back the team, meeting tho loved husband's gazo with a calm ami quiet face, even with smiles, when her heart must have boeu wrung with anxiety and fear,aud who bus now the admiration and respect of all who have watched hor through these weary weeks of nursing, illus trating us she has tho noblest qualities; of true womanhood.

There has been no timo wasted in debate. Measures of great er im|H*rtauco to Georgia than can Ik) found in all the legislation of the past ton years have been adopted.

Nothing living can stand before this pipe a minute. The water has a pressure of two hundred feet, and is conveyed from a moan- tain stream, the Yahoola river. This aqueduct is tbirty-fivo miles long, and cost IGOOJXX). One cannot form any idea of this gigantic undertaking un less hero to see its operations. Water is elevated and placed in reservoirs at a heightb of 2G0 to 300 feet above the mines. This water is sold at twelve and one-balf cents per miners' inch, to-wit, one square inch of water by four inches pressure. About one and one-half cubic feet per minute are de livered to the mines. Some six or eight mineB are supplied by this aque duct. The cost per ton for mining and milling is about twenty conts. A ton of ore will yield of pure gold from 30e to $20. Gold dust hero is worth 00c per pennyweight. I would suggest to our south Geor gians, who have never visited a iniue, that whon in a mining country they would bo well repaid if they would apend a day or two seeing them, as now shafts and tunnels nro iu process of construction daily.

Mr. Editor: In my last I promised to give an account of our trip to Blood Mountain, distant from this spring about fifteen or twenty miles. Our party consisted of five gentlemen from different Statos. Our buckmnu was ready and wo were all seated by G. a. m. Tbo country roads are all bcauti ful about bore, nnd this one particu lnrly so. It follows the grand old Chostatee river for milos, and numer ous were tbo beautiful cascades, fall ing some twenty-fivo, some fifty, some one hundred feet, and sparkling in the snn like a thousand diamonds.— The growth is maple, poplar, hem lock, cbostnnt, oak, white pine, etc., and some of these trees appear to be ono thousand years old, and are tbo largest that I bavo evor seen. One tree that I measured, called the “big poplar,” measures nt its base twenty- eight feet. Arriving nt Mr. John Gnrrnrd's, at foot of the monutniu, wo leftour back, and took mountain ponies, as tbo as cent is very steep. Twice wo wero compelled to dismount and luad our horses, for ono false stop would have sent us hundreds of foot down. It is three miles by tbo trail from tho foot to the summit. Reaching the summit, the view is indescribably grand There aro but two other knobs in Georgia ms high ns Blood mountain. One is Bald mountain, in Rabun county, nnd the other is Enoto roountnin, iu Towns county. Hero you arc 4,070 feet high —nearly a milo.

But tho council of doctors votod no, ttiat a greater deco rum should lie used, for the doctors were not to ho responsible to either their conscience or sonso of right, but to the nation.
