A company of Mad River valley (Ohio) farmers formed a company sev eral years ago and sent out a man who undertook this work. It was proposed to cut a canal across the points where the bend commenced, ami thus turn the coursinhttltf river, leaving the bed ot tlie whole beud dry.an.il available. It w.h lielieved that this project would p it tiie rich sands into the hiiiids of the miners, and would yield enormous profits. It ims been proven Vbat the sands are very rich. This project, the most brilliant ever attempted in the t Georgia gold region, was olandoned alter being worked at for years, by 1 oming on of the panic which wilh- the drew capital from all enterprises. It - now, we learn, about to renewed. It it is carried ont we predict that the results will be startling, and will lie such as will draw the attention of the world to our Georgia mines.

It is in response to cine the editor addressed to him, say ing that “something should be done at once by Southern leaders of public opinion to counteract the efforts ot Republicans who are en deavoring to make a solid North »on the idea that State rights mean seces sion ; that the people of the South are still for secession ; that there is no lVeedora of speech or of the press in tlie South, and that the South has been made solid by means of the shot gun.'” Beauvoir, Harrison County, Miss., Nov. 23, 1879.—J. B, Dan- forth, Esq.—My Dear Sir: I was gratified by the receipt of your letter as a token of your remembrance ot me when in former and in hnppici days we were officially connected with each other. I was also gratfied by the receipt of a copy of youc paper The Rock Is lander. It so happened that at the time a Mat local candidate had called to visit me, and the conversation turned upon the time-honored doctrine of Statu rights. Like many others in our section, lie supposed this to be a creed which pe • culiarly belonged to the South. I, u ho have kuowii, and am happy to remem ber, men of every sectiou true to the theory of a "Union voluntarily formed by sovereign States, endeavored to ex plain tbat it was uot a Southern idea, but a historical fact; that it belonged to no section, but sprang from the brains of the men who declared the in dependence of the colouies, and form ed the compact for a mare perfect Un ion ot the Slates. To prove my posi tion I read to him your article beaded, -What is Meant by State Rights?’’ and was pleased to see the effect which it produced when lie knew that it came from the S'.ate of Illinois, and high up on the Mississip pi i iyer. If tljere is anything wliieh, more clearly than another, the framers of the Constitution did not intend to do, it was to submit tlie people ot the States to tlie unbridled will of a lua ••Fob yourself, my dear sir, acoept assurance* of the best wishes and kind Kfflemfysmcea ofyour friend, , , , Jefferson Davis. / it*« - i ■ | 11 . * 1. t!7 Ilf , "mb. Stephens’s views. Mr.* Stephens’s well-ko iown and of ten repeated view* are more 'briefly gven in the f-llowing extract from a duly indorsed interview with a corres pondent of the Chicago Tribune. In answer to an inquiry as to what he meant by bis statement of general democratic policy—by democracy — Mr. Stephens said: “I mean to say this. We are for tlie union of the States under the con stitution, and for all tlie reserved rights to the States, respectively, as they may be adjudicated by the su preme court. We are for law and order in all things, and for the recti fication of any supposed wrongs or er rors in the Federal administration through the peaceful instrumentality ot the Constitution, toswit: The legislative, the executive and the ju tlieial departments of the Govern ment, and ultimately, the ballot box. In this I speak for seveu-teenths of the Southern people, and of tlie Northern people, too, I think.” When questioned as to these re served rights, he said '“that, so far as secession was concerned, it is aban doned forever; that he had always opposed it himself as ft matter of pol icy ; and that, as a matter of policy, it bud been decided adversely—ought to be considered so declared, at least.” lie thinks tiiat those who seek to revive sectional insues are not the real friends of the North or South. Ho believes that he speaks the sentimeuts of Georgia in this matter, and, indeed, ot the whole Soblh. * n«w a Sturdy, ci-orslan Answers tic Qar*- njtDg oi l-dunttm. -J auimli to .

Heard, who lives in the western part of this county, is well known as a citizen. He ia honest, straight-forward, hard-working. After coming out of the war, he found him self the owner of a mule, a shot-gun, a wife and a child. This was not all he possessed, hotoefer:' 1 He had a pair of stout arms, and one of the most willing minds that man ever bad. Being without capital, he went to work first as an overseer; and it is said that while lie wns working in that .capacity for Juilgo Swanson, be brought into LaGrange, in two weeks time, four hundred and fifty bales of cotton. Of course it was impossible to keep down such energy as Mr. Heard pos sessed, and be soon become a land' owner himself He now owns two plantations and runs another. He makes ironi 100 to 125 bales of cotton yearly ; he owes nothing and has sold this year S300 worth of wheat and 8250 worth of oats. lie has this sea son killed nine hogs and lias eighteen more to kill, and iu addition to this he has meat of last year’s killing for sale. Iu his capacious cribs there are about GOO bushels of last year’s corn ; and lie has on baud about forty bales of the present cotton crop. He has made an elegant homo —hav ing a new house, handsomely finished inside, and when his family take a ride thev go in an elegant phaeton. He is giving his children a solid and careful education in literary branches, and has a tiue new piano, for the use of his daughters who are learning music. Notwithstanding tlie ample means and their scholastic training—one of them having grid dated lust year at the Southern Female College—his daugh ters, under the direction of their ex cellent mother, can dispense with the servants at any time, and attend to the culinary department imdto the gener al household work, without trouble or worry, or any unpleasantness what ever. Mr, Heard has made all that he has by hard licks—it has come out of the ground. Evidently some kinds of farming pay. WHAT WILL TUEV DO WITH tr? (!l id ■ [Columbus Enquirer.] '<• " ’ Comparisons with last year.produce tonisbing results, vary surprising fd lose who care only for the present and have no thought for tlie past. There ought to bo at least half ra million dollars more in this section than there was last year from cotton alone. We all lived then and business was fair—in genera! merchandise about as good as now. Some good .farmers must lave carried over a sur plus, and they have a large amount uow to add to the fund. Cotton both the last and present season commenccihvitli low middlings at 10 3-4c per pound. At this date last year they were quoted at 7\e. and this morning at 12c, a difference of 4 l-2o, per pound or 822.60 a bale. Wo have received to date 50,751, within forty baits of what \v. s ware housed to same date la-t year. We have now in stock 14,50*0 hale- in round numbers against 12,500 last year. For the last two months prices have been two, three and -1 1-2 cents higher than last vear. Say that 30,- OOO.balesJhave been sold at tho differ ence, ler the sales have been heavier in the past two months than before, and we have 8000,000 more paid out to planters. Cotton last season } couy. tcct minorities from tlie usurping deucy oi a general government, ia a i *, ,,ro *! rtea In a V? ck strict construction ot delegated now- elegance of her lit ers, and a fair observance of reserved.rights of the States and of the people. . When tho State* delegated_ceriain functions to a general govern ment, tlie H was declared to be to secure sings of liberty fp themselves and their posterity., The confederation, which had been declared perpetual, was terminated to foxni a more " perfect union of those States which should agree to enter into it. Being without any precedent in history, but taught by the exam ples of all ancient republics of tlie rocks and shoals on which they had been wrecked, a compact of union was fore ed which must ever stand a mod el ot wisdom on tlie part of those who framed it. Too reservation of rights, as you have forcibly presented it, only marks the limit between tlie powers of the gen eral government, anil those which tlie shrouded in a thick crape veil.
