Tb* fin* Light Conspunv ol‘ Augn.tn,
Inasmuch a* there lias been some dissatisfaction
recently ssprussrd with regard to tb* rpiality of i
tb* r*a of Ibis city, w* present tn our readers the i
follow.ng statement, which bo* been furnished na <
upon th* subject:
When the pr*«*at ga* right company wa* or
ganised, tbo rarm.ia inellioda of generating illu
minating gas wen carefully examined for the pnr.
pos* of aaesrtaiuiag what process would be most
adrantagroiH to oil parti** in this loeolity. The
result woo that rosin gas tru deemed the best,
and, relatirely, the cheapest that could be made
bore. Th* main work* were accordingly put up,
and the cilitrns were supplied with a very aupc; •
or gas fur aereral years without a murmur of dis
satisfaction. Vender* of n«w t*rwif«*i, however,
aamc amongst u* with tb* announcement that we
war* paying aa exhorbitant price for our light,
and that if their schema were adopted we would
g*t It for n Inti* ; others argued that because
In some of tb* large cities (where the consump
tion is enormous and coni cheap,! the price of gas
srns small, it ought to be reduced here. Tbc com
pany was abused and rilllfled because they would
neither lessen their price nor try something else
than rosin. The company had Jilig*utly examined
the merits of the carious new scheme* proposed
her* and *la#where, and bad honestly rome to tbc
machuioa that none would do ao well aa that in
us*. Finally, last apring, another process was
I,mug!>t forward, for which wa* t laimed ili*double
merit of proriding a gas nf cpioi quality with
ibat obtained Jtntlly from rosin, r.nd us doing so
t * surprisingly low coal. Dy this plan, the gas
, wo* to b* derived front tile richest llghtwaod, and
I would therefor* be to nil intents and purposes ma
in gas, espial lo that in use. This ptoee-s was tried
| in aom* of our private catabliahroents, and drclar
*d lo bare realised the most sanguine anticipa
tions. Under such circumstances, the company
fell II a pleasure, a* well at a duty they owed to
tba community, to ascertain by direct experiment
whether what seemed to do ao well upon n amail
seat*, would b* equally auceeasftil upon one aafll
eientl.r extenstre to supply the demands of the city;
for. If ao, th* price ol the gas might be reduced
without any deterioration as to quality. Hut they
were nut allowed lo do so without purchasing the
nnteal. They accordingly incurred n beary out
lay in securing the right, and in ebanging their
I works ao as to adapt them to the new proien*
without any interruption in the regular supply
l of lb* ally. They procured, by paring an cxttu
puce for it, tb* mo-l resinous lightwood they
; could get -and th* gat now supplied Is the result.
| It la roam gas; but, being obtained from the wood,
: instead of being derived as heretofore from the
rosin itself, it require* ao *laboratn process of
purification which Ibe other did Dot; although
| tb* means for tbi* purification were thought to
b* amply provided, it 1* evident that they
ar* still inadequate. The experiment it, there
fore, not yet completed, and additional arrange
ment* ar* being made to render the purifica
tion perfect. If tries* accomplish what Is hoped,
we shall then hare a gas equal in rvery respect
to that formally used. Trie question us to the
economy of it* manufacture, can then be readily
. ansa vied, and il ll bi found -hat it is cheapur, ihe
] company wilt most assuredly take great pleasure
I In firing the community trie heuelit of the saving,
j All that the company now desire is that they be
allowed s little time lo complete ibvir experiment.
1 If it does not equal expectations, they will go
1 bark to tba rosin gas, with ibe satisfaction derived
1 from the consciousness that they have not hesitat
ed, even at great coat tn pul to the teat what was
' deemed by competent judges to bo advantageous

The iron products us Pennsylvania are aunually I
*22,00*,000.
This employs a capital of f r >,oOo,otM). It also
gives employment and subsistence to fire tbousund
working meu and as many more women and chil
dren.
The cotton crop of Georgia is estimated at |2.'-,
000.000.
The capital employed in cotton-making in Geor-
f Eta, estimating four bales per band, and ten dol
ais per acre for the land, and other things in
proportion, is *50,000,000 for land, stock, Ac.,
♦*0,000,000 for negroes, making *110,000,000.
This employs one hundred and twenty fire
thousand negroes, besides owners, overseers, Ac.
The iron crop of Pennsylvania, annually employ
ing a capital of $5, 000,000, and live thousand men
to work it, is nearly cotml to the entire crop of
cotton in Georgia; employing a capital of *llO-,
o<>o,oo© and one hundred and twenty-five thousand
hutuls.
Cherokee Georgia lias iron resources equal to
Pennsylvania and physical resources to. derelope
them. If developed, Cherokee Georgia would ,
make products nearly cquul in value to the cotton 1
products of the State.
Without a railroad, it cannot be developed. The ,
difference to Georgia would be millions of iron .
products besides those of Ihe farm, the orchard, |
the garden and dairy, for or port, where she now
iu>/-rtt, and pays for out or her cotton crop. The
statesman who would anticipate the grand spec
tacle, may sum up the items, fill out the picture,
and gaze witli admiration.
The difference to the Western and Atlantic
railroad, would he, tho addition of freights from
a 1 ailroad traversing this iron region of Etowah
Valley, equal to all the way stations besides put
together. This is true, because four miles of this
r< ud, just completed, now puts on nnd receives
from the State road more freights than at nny
other depot, and os much as ten of the smnllei
depots put together. i,Bee Dr. Lewis’ Report.)
Georgia now imports millions of dollars worth
of iron uud iron products; millions also of pro
ducts of the farm, orchurd, garden and dairy.
The Cotton pays for it.
Make the iron, steel, Ac., at home, as may bo
done, and she sure* millions for investment in
stead of spending it. She adds to her tuxiibdfire
-1 sources instead of pnyiug tribute to others. Site
, increases her population, and retains men who
would leave her. She multiplies strong arms and
stout hearts for her defense, instead of feeding
and enriching those who habitually abuse and re
vile her.
1 Without this policy, what has she in prospect
- but worn out soil and decaying institutions ?
1 Where are her means of defense! 1 They are in
, cotton bates and negroes. Their lungs and their
tongues—they are in pen, ink and paper.
’ What is her resort but submission iincondition
- *1! Whut nation or people ever did otherwise
then submit, who were fed and clothed by others,
and were even dependent on their oppressors for
t their uxes and hoes, their plow-shares, and their
pruning books, as well as their swords, their guns
and their powder! Who could fuil to love and re
spect the land of the people who, in uddition to ull
this, sells us nnr beef, our hay, our butter and
r cheese, our potatoes, onions and cabbages ?
. Would it not be wise to avail ourselves of this
amiable trait nf human character and afford it a
chance for exercise towards our mountain populu
f tion y
The cotton planters may answer: A word lo the
’ wise is sufficient.
' The statistics of iron and its products, consid
ered relatively, in regard to the Mouth and the
North, are equally interesting.

There are made in the United States about eight

not return it. self-respect forbids s second call.
For our northern neighbors we swsllow our self

If our statesmen are wise, they will stimulate

A Novice Speculator tells his Experience.
Generally speaking, wheat is a very good grain.
It shows well in the field and in statistical reports;
it looks well in stacks and in granaries j and when
well ground, methodically kneaded, judiciously
baked, and properly browned and buttered into
toast, there is no one who will speak more respect
fully, not to say enthusiastically, of the vegetable
than 1 will. For lam in the main, n man too well
bred to do otherwise. Hot, as an article of com
merce, a medium for speculation, I am emphati
cally down on the whole institution, both “winter”
and “spring;” the one bus proven the “winter of
my discontent,” while the other has “ sprung ” a
trap on me like that projected over unwary birds
which nibble at the same bait. These remarks
may Bcem severe, but they drop as naturally from
me as the kernels would from a head of wheat
that lias been well thrashed.
As every body knows, 1 am “ the son of poor
but respectable parents.” I started in life with
this talismanic maxim for money making; Buy
when everyono is selling; sell when every one is
, buying. Well, some tew weeks since, wheat,
which had been very buoyant, suddenly fell. Every
, one was selling. 1 had a little money, and confid
ing in my golden rule, “pitchedin.” and bought
: at “ eighty-five.” Very soon the staple commodi
-1 ty dropped to sixty-eight. Now, thought I, is the
r time to get a “marginso mortgaging the first
lot, I bought more. And I’ll venture to sav that
, my old mother never prayed so devoutly for her
, bread to rise, as I did my wheat. But still it drop
ed ! The fault, they said, was in the East—(ex
j ense the pun, if the pun is obvious) until, as it
still kept dropping, 1 thought it my duty to
go into Chicago and put a stop to it. The first
greeting that met me aa I stepped into the Trcmont
was a dispatch on the bulletin board—“ wheat is
plat.” Wheat probably was flat enough, but tbis
announcement struck me as being rather a sharp
truth. At half-past eleren I went down on
“Change.” It la perhaps needless to say that 1
found things materially changed since I bad
bought. “Buyers" were offering “fifty-fire j” every
body appeared to be buying: therefore, following
out ray aphorism, I sold. The result may be sum
med up thus:
Two months since I had money and no wheat.
Huhseipiently 1 had wheat and no money. Mow,
by the mass, I hare neither I The second lot was
ajtoor lot—aa poor, in fact, as the second edition
or I'haraoh’s tine, since it swallowed the first.
But 1 bought to make a margin, and I made it I
I think that moat operator* will concur with me
In the following conclusion:
That to buy at “ eighty-fire ” and sail at " fifty,
fife” will not pay, unless a man does a eery large
business. That wheat when it begins to fall, ia a
long while in reaching tbe bottom. That when it {
once begins to beat, it eery soon becomes too hot (
to bold. That, after all, the surest way to make
money in wheat ia to plant it in good soil. And ]
lastly, that a man going into tbe wbeet market,
with a very small capital, if ba ia industrious sod ,
perseveres, wav very soon succeed ia owing more ,
nan it ia probable be will ever be worth.

Senatorial Election in Sonth Carolina.
We copy the following from the Colombia South
Carolinian, of yesterday
MrUh Ballot.— Got. Adams, fifty -five ; Gov. Man
ning, fifty ; Col. Chestnut, forty-six; Mr. Rbett,
three ; Mr. Memminger, one; Col. Keitt, one ; Col.
Carroll, three; Judge Withers, one; Gen. Bon
hnm, one ; Judge Wardlaw, one—total, one hun
dred and sixty-two.
Tfnth Ballot. —Col., Chestnut, ninety-two; Got.
Adams, fifty-four; Mr. Uhett, four; Gen. McQueen,
two: Col. Dawkins, one ; Blank, one—total, one
hundred and fifty-four. Necessary to an election,
seventy-eight.
Col. James Chestnut, Jr., having received nine
ty-two votes, being a majority of thirty, was there
lore elected for the six years, commencing from
the 4th of March, 1859.
This has probably been the most animated and
protracted contest ever witnessed in our legisla
ture. Each candidate has been adhered to with
a tenacity fully exhibiting the confidence which
their respective supporters reposed in them. The
selection of Col. Chestnut is a most fortunate one.
The State, although nearly unanimous in all mat
ters involving the principles of State rights, was in
imminent danger of being riven and distracted bv
party divisions on points of very immaterial consid
eration. Col. Chestnut occupies the position which
enables bim to harmonise the distracting elements,
and preserve that unanimity so much to be desired.
He belongs to the striotest school of State rights—
he believes that these principles are the chief comer
stone as the Union, fie is, however, not an ultra
man ; he was opposed to secession, and took his
position openly and firmly agaihst it He is known
to be opposed to the agitation of the slave trade
question, and also to national conventions, but
does not regard advoeacy of the convention as a
surrender of State rights principles. He may be
termed a conservative State rights man, and in
that position, is decidedly a representative man of
South Carolina. Col. Chestnut is now about forty
three years of age, in the full vigor of his health
and intellect, and his Senatorial career will no
doubt be a calm, dignified, firm and consistent one.
Elected by no clique, faction or particular party, he
lias before him the opportunity of shaping his ca
reer unpledged and un trammeled. We believe
he will prove himself not inadequate to the posi
tion, or undeserving the high trust his friends nave
reposed in him.
Fugitive Slaves on a Southern Plantation
Mr. H. S. Williams, of Hickory Springs, Fay
etto county, Tennessee, sent the following interest
ing communication to the Memphis Avalanche, on
the 12th ult.
Ou one of these cold, rainy nights just passed,
a couple of sprightly and hard-looking little Yan
kee boys, bare-footed, badly clad, and without
budget, about eleven aud thirteen years of age,
calliug themselves John and Thomas Anderson,
brothers, all the way from the North, camo to my
residence in search, as theys aid, of a home ana
work, end readily finding both, they are now with
me, the happiest little fellows you ever saw.
Their story is as full of adventure as it is affect
ing. They nail from the town of Patterson, N. J..
ami say they are factory boys, and orphans; that
their lather died a long time ago, and tbeir mother
nearly two years since, leaving them working in a
cotton factory, without friends or relations there
abouts—having no brothers, and nn only sister, '
Martha, who married one Frederick Green, of
whom they have heard nothing for a long time,
hnd know not where they are; that about two
months since, being badly treated, thev struck
out for the South without a cent of money,
unit worked their way along, assisted by rail
road conductors and steamboat captains, until
reaching Memphis, where they tarried but a little
while, starting out on foot on the track of the
Memphis and Ohio railroad, which they followed
up to the Wythe depot, and meeting there a small
negro boy of mine, who, hearing their story, po
litely, and in true southern hospitality, invited
tbetn along with him to his master's boiiae.
The account these little fellows give of them
selves, 1 believe to be true; and thoy are welcomed
n tho South—to roy home—shall have mv protec
ion, and au open and aided future. It has been
suggested that, may be they are rvnaivay northern
apprentice*, and by this discovery of their where
abouts, a requisition, or something of the sort, will
bo attempted. To this, I will take occasion to de
clare, in advance, that, in such an event, I will
resist at all hazards, and to the last extremity, the
fugitive elate law, if sought to be enforced for the
reclamation of the poor entlavid factory boys of the
North, who fled South for freedom and friends.
Mv little black slave, Lee, who brought the little
fellows to my door, would doubtless find some un
derground railroad for tbeir escape, should danger
threaten them. _

Fifteen Hundred Hollars lu Fifteen Min- •
dies—The Press Did It.
The sum of sis 'teen hundred doUurr was made a few
days since at Lynchburg, Yu.mfifteen minutee by a
New York gentleman; and the lick by which it was
done should be known by business men in our
section generally. The circumstances were these.
He was a passenger en route to the Soo/Ji by the
line of the Tennessee and Virginia railroad. There
was a alight detention of the train at Lynchburg,
and to see what was to be seen in the line of busi
ness, he stepped into a store, inquired the price of
dried peaches, was informed, asked bow many
bushels they could furnish, was told, gave a check
for the amount, made arrangements with the sell
ing party to ship to New York, returned to his
seat in the cars, was gone not longer than fifteen
minutes, took out his peueil, made an estimate of
his purchase, calculated the expense of shipment,
insurance and all, and remarked to a friend sitting
by, from whom we learned the facts, that he had
made just fifteen hundred dotiare clear of every
thingr-a good fifteen minutes work, and a sharp
business man, say we, and so respond all. But
the lick by which it was done—that's whet
we are after. Well, that man kept ported on the
prices current; at every town be inquired for
the latest papers, patronised the Press, kept
posted on the rates of freight from point to
point, would invest a dollar or so each day for
telegraphic intelligence from New York, and
Studied his business thoroughly and made tho
newspaper bis text book. The morale of this
transection is and should be, that, all business
men. the prodtp .-r, seller and buyer should patron
ise the preen aid patronise it itberaUy,' that they .
gather from its columns the latest quotations, tbe
supply and demand of any article upon the market,
the rates of freight from point to point—that they
invest for telegraphic information, that they be
active, investigate and pry into their line of trade,
and by so doing they will put money into their
Sockets, anti put it lu honestly. Had the Lynch
urg merchant kept posted on the demand and
prices of dried peaches in the New York market,
as did the railro.ul traveler, be might bare made
the fifteen hundred. That merchant doesn’t
patronise the »r<«* as he ought. And this little,
simple, straightforward transaction by which fif
teen hundred dollars wss made in fifteen minutes,
and all the result of patronising the preet, should
arouse all men to shell out for some two or three
good, reliable and active commercial newspapers,
and they should read and study them, and our
word for it, though they may not make fifteen hun
dred dolls?s in fifteen minutes, will find the price
of subscription the best investment possibly to be
made. If )ou would be Intelligent, and know tbe
exact tlm- when and bow to make money take
three or four good newspapers. Tbe New York
gentlemen is a case in question, and only one of n
thoflfc.ii : thut are constantly oceuring.
