To Our Friends.
Wc trust our many friends will bear in
mind our whereabouts, and exert them
selves a little in our behalf. We are de
termined that “ The Standard” shall con
tinue to occupy the position it has ever
occupied—second to no journal in Upper
Georgia. Givq us a helping hand, friends
—assist us to increase the circulation of
the paper, that our usefulness may there

It is true we already have a good list of
subscribers, hut Oliver Twist like wc are
not yet half satisfied; there is room yet
for a few more names.
Now is a good time to subscribe; an ex
citing Presidential election will soon be
upon us; the Georgia legislature will soon
be in session ; the Chinese War has just
commenced; the prospect is good for an
other European War—and many other
things of interest to the people at large,
all combine to make this a favorable time
to subscribe.

weekly with from 14 to 16 columns of

of printing wanted, on good terms, and at ; the 3d District, F. Hardeman, jr., op
short notice. Wc feel no hesitation in
warranting our work, in advance, to give
satisfaction. A competent Job Printer is
to the scene, and made it a representation
of what Pandemonium may be. Those
lights were admirable but for their object
The flash of the cannon is but for a mo
ment, and the fuse of the shellers soon
consumed as it hurried along, but these
lights seemed like the cornets suspended
in the sky, or burning cycles of evil ones
peering down through the darkness in
search of those they wished to destroy,
and looking and searching tremulously
and patiently till they found them out in
the darkness, and then pouncing upon
their victims. The unearthly roar of that
big gun announced their doom.
Thus fought the steamers and the forts
from 24 o'clock till 8, the steamers receiv
ing the contents of the 150 or 200 guns
of the forts, and the forts what the 40
smaller guns of the thirteen steamers could
send them. The guns of the forts were
worked with admirable skill, and aimed
with wonderful precision. Not a mast
was cut down ; hardly a yard or any part
of the rigging was touched; all were aim
ed at the hulls of the vessels, which were
boarded and riddled, and the men cut
down like sheep in the slaughter-house.
The Admiral's steamer, a gun boat like
the rest, and carrying three heavy guns,
was the special mark of the Chinese from
his conspicuous flag which floated at the
mast-head. Of the 41 men who worked
her guns, all but three were either killed
or wounded. At an early stage of the ac-
ti in, the head of the captain was fairly
cut off by a ball,—a brave and noble man;
while as others tell me who saw it, the
deck was fairly covered with the blood,
limbs and the bodies of the dead and the
wounded, which were heaped up around
the guns, so that they could hardly be
approached without treading upon them.
It was the scene of a slaughter-house, on
ly it was a human slaughter-house. A
single ball killed two men, and then car- j
ried away a leg from six more who hap-
the water, and reaching a boat were safe. Cobb—Gartrell, D., Lester, D., Green, j ble results in getting what gold was left
from the rude and imperfect working of
former years.
There are three principal gold veins run
ning through this property, all of which
have been tested and gave the most grati
fying results.
I have been over the gold-bearing re
gion of Georgia as well as of other States,
and have studied their geology, and 1
I have no hesitation in saying, that I have
seen nothing to equal the indications of
the Mahone A King Mines. I entered the
opening made on one of the veins, with a
workman, and took out more than fifty
dollars of gold with less than thirty min
ute’s labor.
There are three hundred and twenty
acres of land in this property, and the
length of the three veins cannot be less
than two miles, and the amount of depos
it gold is in large quantity. I have given
the above from memory, at the request of
parties interested, and it is not above,
what a strict examination will bear out.
The specimons that it lias yielded in nug
gets of gold taken from the quartz rock
weighing as high as eighteen or nineteen
(lwts., are seldom equalled by the most
productive regions of the globe, and that
too, under circumstances the least favora
ble to its proper development. Those de
sirous of engaging in mining operations
lor gold, need not goto California, or New
South Wales, but in the State of Georgia
may find as safe investment of capital as
the world affords; nature has planted it
there, it cannot deceive.”
Hews from Texas.
Late accounts from Texas state tln.t the
Indians arc committing great depredations
on the Rio Grande and frontier, in Texas,
since the withdrawal of the United States
troops. *
New Orleans, Oct, Id.
Brownsville, Texas, was attacked, on
the 28tli uit., by Guerrillas, and five per
sons killed. The jail was broken open,
and the prisoners set at liberty. Intense
excitement prevailed. The citizens had
mostly fled to Matamoras. The Mexican
authorities sent assistance to the people of
Brownsville. The Guerrillas were head
ed by an outlaw named Cortcmas, and
numbered 100 strong; they were mount
ed and rode into the city, and posted sen
tinels. Gen. Carvnial and others arrived
and pursuaded the outlaws to leave the
city.
Fort Brown was then garrisoned with
Mexican troops from Matamoras, the citi
zens forming a patrol. The outlaws w ere
encamped near the citv some 200 strong.

Death of a Prominent Citizen.
AYe regret to announce the death of
CapL Joseph R. Dukes, of this county, on
that they saw heaps of dead bodies tum
bled over the walls, and lying at the bot
tom.
So disastrous a defeat the English have
never suffered in the East, though the he
roism with which they fought, from the
Admiral down to the seamen, was most j
admirable. Never was there a band of j
braver men ; never was bravery of less a- j
vaiL The English did not know what j
had been done in strengthening the forts, i
and placing on the river some obstructions
since the last battle they fought here a
year ago, and expected to sweep all be
fore them with a single dash, as they did
then; and, besides, they were not aware
of the discipline which the Chinese sol
diers had received in the meantime, hav
ing been instructed, as it Ls affirmed, by
Russians, who owe no good will to Eng
land. 1
