The strange disappearance ol Will Denary, the colored boy at An derton’t livery stable, bat created considerable excitement. On last , -Ssjurday night, about 7 o'clock, he left with a couple of strangers to pilot them to a bouse of ill-fame. He carried them six or eight mites up the river, in the neighborhood for Cooper’s old iron wot ks.

A card was printed yesterday afternoon, announcing that the meeting called lor |a*t night, at the court house, by the Business men of Atlanta' had been postponed,' The reason for this postponement was as follows; Tde meeting has been called tor the purpose ot raising fifty thousand dollars, with which to secure the building of the Goorgta Midland railroad to Atlanta. There wa« rea son to believe that fifty thousand dollars of iron clad subscriptions would make this sure. A letter re ceived from Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, president of thia Georgia Midland, announced that for the present he could give no assurance that such a subscription would secure the road, as the company was already com milted to another route. In view ol thia fact it was thought best to postpone the meeting, although the l5o;aoo necessary had already been practically subscribed, and would unquestionably have been raised. The following dispatch will show that the friends or Atlanta are in earnest about the matter, and that the road would have bad strong fi nancial backing if Atlanta could have been accepted as the terminus. Mr. Inman is a director in the Rich mond & Danville road and also ir the Louisville & Naahville railroad. Nkw York, Nov. 30.—James W. Harie. The Constitution states that the Georgia Midland enter- prise it to come before a meeting of your citizen* to night. My judg ment is you should do all vou can toward* securing the building of this road. The enterprise look* *0 favorable and promises to much for Atlanta, that I am willing to take one hundred thousand dolarsof its bond* at a fair price, and undertako to mar ket an additional half million. Being the owner of considerable real estate in Atlanta and interested in her THE MINERAL ■«' fir. RS . .. Vu. Waring Eaber*hau, in Dixie. Since the discovery of gold in Georgia in 1828, the state has labor ed under many disadvantages; hence her mineral resources have not been developed as they would have been had she possessed rail road and other facilities; and bad not the discovery of gold in Cali fornia and Australia caused the with- drawal of her minersfrom the sceae of mining operations at Dablonega sad other parts of Lumpkin couuty. . In 1840 the towns of Dahlonega and Auraria contained over five thousand miners, with their families, who were actively engaged, in ac cumulating the gold in whicn the surrounding surface abounded, and in laying the foundation of future fortunes. Th* mines were super, facially worked with the rudest ap pliances, and but a small portion of the gold in the sand, gravel and mi caceous slste was obtained, but the amount was sufficient to prove that the mines, when fully developed, would yield a large amount of the precious metal, and that the future of Georgia, as a gold mining section, [was assured. ■The failure of the placer claim* ofl the Pacific coast to produce gold inj paying quantities, has induced a number of these Georgia miners to return to their homes, well knowing from what they have learned of the I genera) character of the mine* else where, that not only gold but silver and other- metals abound in their native state and throughout the south. 1.; Old mines, which were partially worked ip ■ early days, but which I were abandoned on account of the Iwantof proper machinery with which to control the water in them, have been reopened and prove very rich. The assertion made by the writer in 1877, that thr future ofl Georgia would develop silver asl well as gold is now being verified, as proven by the discovery of silver mines in the Cohutta mountains, in Murray county, and elsewhere in fthe state. | ■The minds of Northern and Wesl tern capitalists have been aroused to the fact that the 'mineral as well as the agricultural resources of Geor gia, and of the South generally, are [of the very best character, and nu merous capitalists are contemplating the establishment of various branch es of industry, and are looking fori ward to the tipie when the South! will be self-supporting. Already Alabama and Tennessee are furnish ing Georgia with all tha iron and coal she needs; and these states are supplying the Northern states with a superior article of iron, which can be rained here cheaper than else where. These facts speak for] themseves louder than words; aid it is not difficult to deduce proper [conclusions from them. ■At the present time there it a perfect network of railroads cxtend-i ling through the mining sections which are being developed, and the utmost recesses of our mountains will, in the near future, be penetra ted by them. The geographical position of the state of Georgia, extending as it docs along the line of the seaboard, from northeast to southwest, makes it pecuiiaily adapted to the develop ment of her mineral interests; as the] general trend of the veins of miner! al ore is from northeast to south! west, and the main trunk lines of] the railroads are in that direction, and invariably follow the course of the mineral veins, within a distance! of a few miles. In no section of the country are the advantages greater than in Georgia for freighting di rectly to the mines. There are sev eral foundries in Atlanta, at which mining machinery of a superior rest, my belief it the dc{ ^ cision in favor of prohibition ia a quality is manufactured, which will part of her forward modern ent, which will impel our rapidly toward* her n ny, and the completioi will but accelerate the movement.
