be envied by older firms. The house in
wbich they are doing business is a su

We proceeded down Whitehall and
called in to sec our old friends Salmons,

the chair:—and on motion of J. C. Bran

explained that the object of the meeting
was to appoint Delegates to a convention

Mr. Leeke then offered the following:
Resolved, That the Chairman of this

i-likcly to engage the attention of that
august body is that of the Tariff. The
question is teing already agitated by some
of the leading democratic journals at the
North. The. Pcnmyltanian a leading
democratic paper ol Philadelphia, and a
mm (’ official organ of President Buchanan
uses, in a recent issue, the following very
significant languange: #
“It is evident that the Opposition in
tend to continue, in Pennsylvania, their
game of deception in reference to the tar
iff: the cry that the Democratic party is in
favor offree trade is false Ac.” The same
paper then refers approvingly to the opin
ions ofMr. Butler, who has been recently
nominated as the Democratic candidate
for Governor in Massachusetts; and who
advocates discriminating duties for protec
tion, specific deties, and all such contri-
vaticcs as may suit to put money into the
pocket of manufacturers, ircn-mqogers,
and *U those to whom a high rate of .bdv
is deemed necessary and desirable.
One of the great issues on which t»:e
Democratic party triumphed over the old
Whig party was that of low duties, and
<an economical expenditure, against a high
tariff for the protection of certain interests
at the expense of the people at large, and
federal extravagance in the waste of the
Treasury. National Democracy is, or pre
tends to be, in favor of free trade so far as
is compatible with the lowest, and most
equalized taxation, sufficient for the pru
dent support of the government. It would
seem that democracy lias become at the
North rotten to the core, and the decep

Stileshoro Institute.
Wc invite attention to the advertisement
of this Institution for 1860. This Institu
tion of learning is located at Stilcsboro, in
this county, and ts represented by an a-
ble Faculty in both the Male and Female
departments. Jfr. Ccxtus is emphatically
a gentleman and a scholar, no fears need
te entertained but that he will discharge
his duty, faithfully, as the Principal, as
relates both to pupils and parents. The
edifice is a neat stucture, and admirably
arranged for comfort and convenience.—
The society cannot be surpassed—board though it can be seen free gratis for no
ncss. The proprietors are clever men and
keep a good stock always on hand.
A little farther down wc stopped in to
see Mr. A. Letden, Agent for Bart holt’s
Sewing Machines, and found several per
sons in examining these machines. AYe
speak what we know, (as we have one,)
when we say that no better sewing ma
chine has teen invented than Bartholt’s.—
This is the testimony of aU who have
tried them, and there are not a few of
them now in use.
Just overhead is to be seen a sight that
seldom greets the visionary organs, al-
chcap, and the locality free from sinks
of vice and places of dissipation. Read
the advertisement.
The Cave Sprirg Asylum for the Deaf
Dumb.
AVc had the pleasure yesterday morning
to make the acquaintance of Mr. S. F.
Du.ilap, the principal of this institui;, n -
who was on a visit to our county to carry
with him to the Asylum, a pupil from
this county. Mr. Dunlap informs us that
they now have forty-six pupils, twenty of
w’.om are females, and that the Institu
tion is in a flourishing condition. Parents,
who mav te so unfortunate as to have a
child that is deaf and dumb; should not
delay to send them at once to this school,
where they can te taught to express their
ideas, converse, and mingle in Society.—
Mr. D. is energetic in the cause, and may
success attend his laliors.

We tested his Segars and found them to

We then wheeled right-ahout-fece and
zrent uo on the AVest side of Whitehall
street. The Srr-t door we stopped at was
Mr. M. Lazaron, dealer in Ready-Made
Clothing. Ac. We accommodated ourself
to a new vest, and looked through his
stock, which we found to be very exten
sive and substantial, enquired his prices,
and pronounced them extremely moderate.
Tn this house we met up wiib oar old
friend Taos. M. Barn a, lately from this
office, looking hale and hearty. a
We proceeded up street and called in
at Messrs. Cutting A Stone’s Fancy Dry
Goods establishment. This store we al
so found crowded with ladies and gentle
men purchasing goods. Their stock is
very extensive and MKed—both as to
quantity, quality, and price—everything
that is kept in the Fancy Goods line may
be found at this house. The proprietors
and clerks are all genteel sociable and a-
greeab’.e gentlemen.
Just upstairs we met with Mr. C. W.
Cutting, General Agent for the sale of
Bartlett’s Patent Novelty Sewing Ma
chines, which he sells at $8, $12, and $20.
No one need complain that they are not
able to boy a sewing machine^ for these
are cheap enough, in all conscience- We
saw a specimen of the week and conclu
ded it looked about a> well as the work
steel, nails, mechanics tools, leather and
rubber belting, and a thousand and one
other things too tedious to mention. We
recommend this bouse to our up countiv
merchants, miners, farmers, millers, and
mechanics of all sorts, as a good place to
ihake their purchases. The proprietors
are good-hearted, gcntlemenly fellows.
A few doors north and we called in to
sec Mr. F. A. Williams, Furniture dealer.
Here we examined *as large a stock of
per’,’ style and pattern—
manufactured oimfc nriffsr
fin sbed up in the most tasty style of the
art. Tn connection with this house is the n,ous '
far famed Upholsterer, Mr. Charles WaS-
deck. Mr. W. will please accept our un
feigned thanks for the beautiful revolving
office chair that he presented us with.—
May success attend his pathway through
life.
We stepped in at the next door and
spent a few minutes with Messrs. Jones
A McLendon, Grocery Merchants. Con
nected with this establishment we found
our old friend and former countyman, Dr.
T. H. Lioon, who was as merry as a
cricket, and as industrious as a bee, pack
ing and unpacking, receiving and ship
ping out Groceries. This house does an
immense business up the State Road par
ticularly. The proprietors are whole-soul
ed, strightforward business men. the hea-
vey businss they do is proof sufficient.
In at the next door, we fonnd Messrs.
Dimick, Wilson A Co., manufacturers
and dealers in Boots and Shoes. They
like thc most of the others had all they
could attend to. It teing Fair week, the
farmers far and near were buying their
winter shoes, for themselves, families and
negroes. And that was a good place for
them to make their purchases, where they
had a large and splendid assortment to se
lect from.
Next door was Mr. J. H. Lovejot’s
large Grocery establishment, where we
also found them busy bam-eling, sacking,
boxing, and marking groceries for various
destinations. Mr. L. keeps a good stock
always on
pared to fill orders, or sell groceries upon
theenost favorable terms. He will treat
you in the politest and most courteous
manner, and put you up*a bill of goods in
double quick time.

The Mineral Resources of Georgia— L
NO 2.
To the Editor of the National A merican:
Dear Sir : In speaking of the opinions
of competent Geologists, as recorded in
the book referred to. touching the compar
ative values of the Iron Ores of Georgia,
we ought not to pass by what is said con
cerning thc Iron Ores in Cherokee and
Gilmer counties.
Of these be says : “ Beyond the Furna
ces” (Lewis & Ford’s Furnaces’) “to the
North-East, the Oreis found in even <rreaf-
er quantities than before noticed. I eon
a hi orb knob, eight miles from the River
CEtowah.; is a greater show of it than 1
have =een at the famous Iron Mountain of
Missouri.” Of* ■ 1 1-*- 8 * ■ ■ rci.Ty.Moun-
tain, within six miles of the River, is cnor-
Pausing through Lumpkin county, be
might have said the same of thc hills and
mmintains there.
/Who, in Europe or America, that con
siders these subjects, has not beard of thc
“ Pilot Knob” and “ Tron Mountain” of
Missouri, so famous for Iron Ore ? And
wc have greater than these in Cass co.,—
greater in Cherokee, Gilmer and Lump
kin counties—and vet it creates no sensa
tion in Cherokee Georgia—is not known
to. or cared for. bv our Legislators and
Statesmen at Milledgevillc. They are not
even prompted to appoiot a competent
man to examine and report the facts! y'
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
invested in Furnaces in different States,
relying on those localities in Missouri, to
keep them going. Millions of tons of the
raw Ore of Missouri are transported to O-
hio, and even to Pennsylvania, and sold
to make Iron for the use of Cotton Plant
ers in Georgia T We are greater in these
resources than Missouri. Ohio, and Penn
sylvania all put together, and onr own
statesmen overlook it, and the course of
legislation is such as to drive capital and
labor from this region, and keep more of
this wealth than Missouri has, buried in
the hills of Georgia!
The progress which individuals have
made in the development ot this hidden
wealth, is slow and limited. A few, how
ever, unspairing of their means, their time,
and their efforts, have done enough in
hand, and » at all times pre- prospecting, as Miners term it, to expose
the Mines, and lead the Commonwealth of
Georgia to a knowledge of where the trea
sure lies. Just enough to show what could
be done, if aided by that countenance
which the State, having so large and
deep an interest, could and ought to af-

compatriots are sleeping. They dared and
died for what they felt to te thc right,
though in a manner which seems to us fa
tally wrong. Let their epitaphs remain
unwritten until the not distant day when
slave shall clank bis chains in the
Shades of Monticello or by the graves of
Mount Yernon.
The N. Y. Courier A Enquirer of the
19th ult., says:
The insurrection at Harper’s Ferry is at
an end. It never had anything like thc
formidable proportions the telegraph first
assigned to it. But very few negroes of
the neighborhood participated in it, and
it cannot rigidly be denominated a servile
movement at all. It was all thc work ol
John Brown of Ossawattamie memory—a
man half crazed and made utterly desper
ate by the murder of his sons by the bol
der ruffians in Kansas, and possessed of
an all devouring purpose to vent his ven
geance upon the hTraSt.tiiun in the inter
ests of which those ruffians did their work.
It is premature however to speculate up
on the extent or precise character of the
plot, which will undoubtedly be made the
subject of a most careful legal investiga
tion. All will rejoice that the demonstra
tion was so speedily and effectually quell
ed. The direst curse that could befall our
country would be an unchecked slave in
surrection.
The New York Herald of the same date
says:
Thc inevitable effect of this abolition in
surrection in the midst of thc unsuspect
ing slaveholding community around Har
per’s Ecrry will be, throughout the South
ern States, a highly exasperated feeling of
hostility to all the slavery agitators at the
North, not only including AY. H. Seward
and his followers to “ an irrepressible con
flict” with the South, but even Mr. Doug
las and bis disciples of “ popular sove
reignty” in the Territories. Not many
days, we apprehend, will elapse before the
consequences upon the Southern mind of
tbis desperate experiment of abolition trea
son in Virginia will be recognized in the
North as pregnant with danger to the Un
ion.
We have thus before us some of the ri
pening fruits of that mischievous reopen
ing of the shivery agitation in 1854, com
menced by Douglas and Pierce as Presi
dential candidates for the decisive vote of
the South in the Cincinnati Convention.
There would have been no border war in
Kansas between Southern pro-slavery ad
venturers and Northern anti-slavery emi
grant aid societies had there been no in
vitation to them to fight out the slavery
issne, face to face, on the soil of Kansas.
And this man Brown was only a dischar
ged guerrilla free State soldier from the
wry
ith- Irar for freedom there, and rendered dar

The three gentlemen who constitute this ;
firm, have been Railroad Conductors, in
fact, one is yet, and consequently then-
acquaintance must te very extensive.—
Like conductor* generally are—kind and
sodnbie—these gentlemen still possess
these ennobling traits of character which
will command the respect and patronage
of their old acquaintances and many new
ones. They are destined to do a number
one business. Success to them.
And last but not least Having stayed
out our time, and gone the rounds, we re
tired to the Trout House about meal time,
as it had been our custom to do, for the
purpose of ministering to the wants of the
“inner man.” We found all the requi
sites fixed up in the neatest and most
tempting manner. The proprietors. Mess.
They must remember that they accustom
ed men, in their Kansas forays, to thc idea
of using arms against political opponents;
that by their crimes and outrages they
drove hundreds to madness, and that thc
feelings of bitterness and revenge thus
generated have since rankled in the heart.
Brown has made himself an organ of these
in a fearfully significant way.
We might fill our paper with comments
from Black Republican newspapers, says
the Constitutionalist, upon the incendiary
proceedings at Harper’s Ferry, showing
thc same sympathy, with Brown and his
confederates in crime, which is apparent
in these extracts from the Tribune and
the Post. Thc truth is, that these pro
ceedings are only thc legitimate t>((.se
quences of the doctrines taught by the
leaders and organs of the Republican par
ty for several years past. They have taught
the people that there is an irrepressible
conflict between thc systems of labor North
and South, which must finally end in the
overthrow of one or the other of these
systems, and the late insane attempt to
stir up a servile war in Virginia, is, nc
repeat, only, the first fruits of their teach
ings.
In tbk contwdian, it may not be inap
propriate to reproduce the following ex
tracts from Mr. Seward’s celebrated speech
fit Rochester, that our readers inay deter
mine for themselves, whether such outra
ges as that which has just occurred at
Harper’s Ferry, arc not the legitimate anl
inevitable results of the policy and princi
ples of thc Black Republican party.
Thus these antagonistic systems arc con
tinually coming into closer contact, and
collision results. Shall I tell you what
this collision means? They who think
that it is accidental, unnecessary, the work
of interested or fanatical agitators, and
therefore ephemeral, mistake the case al
together. It is an irrepressible conflict
between opposing and enduring forces,
anti it means that the United States must
and will, sooner or later, become entirely
a slaveholding nation, or entirely a free
later nation. Either the cotton and rice
fields of South Carolina and the sugar
plantations of Louisiana will ultimately be
tilled by free labor, and Charleston rru :
New Orleans Income marts for legitimate
merchandise alone, or e se the rye fields
and wheat fields of Massachusetts and N.
York must again te surrendered by their
farmers to slave culture and to the pro
duction of slaves, and Boston and Noe
Yoik become once more markets for trace
in the bodies and .souls of men. It is the
failure to apprehend this great truth that
induces so many unsuccessful attempts at
final compromise between thc slave and
free States, anff- is the existence of this
great fact that renders all such pretended
compromise, when made, vain and ephe
meral Startling as this saying may ap
pear to you, fellow citizens, it is by no
means an original or even a modern one.
At last the Republican party has ap
peared. It avows now, as the Republican
