We arc almost out of patience with Congress, which is running rapidly to gas. Fbom the way the GainsVille Eagle Soars Brotliet Ham seems to have en joyed the Press Convention. Fbiend Lewis, of the Fort Gaines Tribune is not only a genial comrade, but wields a- graceful pen. —oe The Augusta editors are unsociable. I'hey ought to be tat.ru down a button bole or two. They didn’t attend the press association. BboThei: Slat ter,,'of'the Winchester Tenn. Heme Journal, is going to Europe With Dr. Tourjce’s excursion.—We wish him a pleasant trip. If Congress is not bought up by the Philadelphia millionaire druggists, why don’t it repeal the duty on quinine? It is now selling at six dollars an ounce.

Atlanta is to have another new daily paper to bo called The Dispatch. It will be published by Messrs, Dixon & Mil ler. Col. 1. H.

Edward Mumford to address a speech or two each to the called metting of the Press Associa tion at Savannah in ■ October : 'next. In the Afghan treaty great care has been taken by Great Britain not to imperil Yakoob Khan’s position by demands which might excite the jealousy of his subjects. No war indemnity is demand ed jand though the treaty will give Great Britain the right to appoint residen ts at Herat, Candabar and other cities, this right will not at present be avail ed of. The International CoDgress to discuss projects Tor a ship eaual across the Isthmus of Panama, met Thursday at the Grand Hotel, Paris. All the pow ers asked to send delegates. It was fi nally decided to divide the members into five committees to discuss the un dertaking, and the meeting adjourned until Monday. The Georgia Commaudery of Kuighs Templar were entertained with a grand excursion up the canal in Augusta. The prize for fine drilling, won by tho Palestine Commaudery of Savannah, was. presented by Mi*. John S. David son, of Augusta, in a neat speech, to wnich Col. J. L. Warren, of Savannah, ’ responded. The newly elected officers were installed, and Columbus was se lected as the next place of meeting. The Dentah Lumixaby,—We are in debted.to our friends Drs. I. P. <fc : W. B.

Clarke has been publishing it nearly a year as an advertising and local news sheet, but he will now enlarge its sphere- and adapts it to the general public. Col. Clarke will make a fiuo paper out it and will continue to send it to sub scribers daily at the low price of $1.00 a year. On Monday last, at Athens, brutal murder was committed, negro child, about four'years was first poisoned and then a most A little of age, beaten about the head by its father, from the r effects of which treatment it died. It ' seems that the child was the illegitimate oilspring of the brutal father, who kill ed it so as not to have to support rfr Both the murderer and his mother ’ have been arrested for complicity in the crime, and the indignation .of'the com munity against them has been aroused to the highest pitch. its manufacture, priming, etc. The making c.f paper is an industry in which millions of capital are invested and thousands of skilled laborers employed. We had gathered from our cyclopedias some idea of the process of its manu facture, bnt had long'desired to see the practical operation. Some weeks ago we received an invitation from Mr. Sax* cn A. Anderson, of the Mariet ta Paper Mills, to stop with him on our way to lire Press Convention, and cn Wednes day of last week, on our rettfvn frofn Tennessee, we made it convenient to pay him a visit.- After dinner Mr. A. drove hs out to the mills seven miles east of Marietta, over a splendid road running through a beautiful gently rolling fanning coun try. Driving down a ravine in Mr. An derson’s plantation, we take a drink of alinost ice-cold water from the spring near the Superintendent’s house, and soon are on the bridge across Soap creek, where it washes down a canon iu the extreme southern foot-hills of Bine Ridge on its way to the Chatta hoochee River, one mile below. Here is perhaps the finest water power in Georgia. The creek in about half a mile falls nearly seventy feet. In sight are three large tumbling dams, each on a different level. About two hundred yards above the budge is a large mer chant flouring mill, where four run of stones were used until recently. Now the patronage lias been so divided with other mills that only one corn and one wheat mill are in operation. Just be low this is a saw mill bclongiug to the paper mill property, while just below the bridge about a hundred yards is the dam of the present paper mill, which is itself some fifty yards below, and in sight of the bridge. Below the bridge and almost under it are the stone runs of the old paper mill which was de stroyed by the vandal, Sherman, who marched down Soap creek on the way to Atlanta, aud used the flooring of tlie present paper mill to help equip his pontoon bridges across the Chattahoo chee. , As the walls were of na tive stone from tho hills near by, there was nothing for him to destroy here except the roof. The water is cenveyed from the pond in a large wooden flume from which it is admitted direct on the huge breast wheel twenty-eight feet high and some twelve feet across, while a small flume carries a portion to a small overshot wheel below. These wheels are of eighty aud twenty-five horse-power res pectively, and furnish the motive power for the machinery which makes the pa per, this sheet on which The Home Joubdal is printed being a specimen,— as we have bought paper from this mill ever since we have been in the newspaper business, as did our prede cessor, Mr! Waterman. As we enter the mill we note on the platform a huge pile. of thousands of pounds of rags and waste paper, which are purchased in Memphis, Savannah, Macon and other cities. In the first room women are busy picking the rags, carefully separating the cotton from the woolen. The woolen rags, with hemp bagging, etc., are used in making wrap ping paper, while the cotton onas are for printing paper. The rags are then cut in small pieces in a machine very much like an enlarged revolving straw cutter, ana they are passed through a hole in the floor into a large iron boiler with a solution of lime. Steam is admitted through the hollow pinion, and the boiler is slowly revolved by machinery until they become a common mass, the form and color of each individual scrap being blended into a pulpy yellowish mass called half stuff. An elevator then carries it to the first engine which is nothing more or less than an immense washing machine of a peculiar make, holding about one hundred barrels. Here the stuff ie washed free of the lime, dirt, dye, and rotten fabric, pure fresh water being constantly admitted through a pipe, while a bucket wheel enveloped in a fine wire screen to exclude the pulp, carries off the dirty water.— When perfectly clean the pulp is lower ed into another revolving boiler where it is bleached with chloride of lime un der pressure of steam. From this it is elevated to a second engine or washing machine where it is beaten iu a constant stream of pure water until the chemi cals are excluded, when it is again low ered into the draining room, where the water passes through the wire-screened perforated floor, and the former rags become a solid.mass of snowy white pa per which is so hard as to have to be dug out with picks. The foreeroing is all merely prelimi nary work, Now we come to the actual making of the paper. The masses of stuff are put in a tank of pure water and there dissolved until it resembles a mixture of milk and water. From this it is pumped up into wooden box about fifteen inches square where an ingenious gate, so arranged as to regulate the final weight of the paper, admits it into the trough of the paper machine. Here a cylinder revolves which is covered with a fine wire screen of about seventy threads to the inch. To this the pulp in the water adheres and from it to an endless blanket which passes between iron cylinders into which steam is ad mitted throngh the pinions. After go ing through five or six of these it is dry and strong enough to carry its own weight, and other cylinders dry it rap idly, the water rising above in a visible cloud or-fog. Finally the roll of pape r , whiehris unbroken in its exit from the trough, passes through a number of smooth rollers one above the oth- erjcalied callendaTS, which gives it its ■g polished even surface. A pair of re volving disc shears trim the edges and an adjustable^ rotary cutting machine divides it into sheets of any desired length. Not the least wonderful part of the operation is that of counting aiid | folding the sheets into quires. It is The steam used ng bleaching, drying, etc., is generated in a great boiler Which takes two cords of wood a day, and the pure, clear water for washing and dis* solving the pfilp is brought from a fine spring branch far tip the mountain side. The purity of this water makes the paper of the Marietta Mills superior to any manufactured in the South. In making wrapping paper woolen rags, bagging, etc., are used, and the bleaching, re-washing and calendaring are omitted. For manilla paper hemp bagging is used, and it is also callen- dared. About a year ago the mill was partial ly destroyed by fire, *ith no insurance, but Mr. Anderson, who owns the eon^ trolling interest and is sole manager of the business, with his indomitable ener gy at once put in fifteen thouand dol lars worth of new machinery, aud was soon at work again. We were very much impressed with his account of his numerous difficulties rnd trials in establishing, his business on its present substantial foundation. Although he sells paper almost as low as the common paper in the markets, he uses no wood pulp, straw, or other ad alterations that lessen the cost aud cause great wear of printing type. Be sides he is one of the most pleasant bus- ness men we ever dealt with. Mr, Anderson’s residence and ware house are in Marietta, and he can ship all regular sizes of printing or wrap ping paper at a moment’s notice. Having taken a rest and a draught of cold water from another spring just aboye the mill, we return to the city and take a drive through its principal streets. .. The many elegant stores, handsome residences ; and ornamental flower plats, all embowered in fine shade trees, render Marietta the most beauti ful little city in the State, It does a large business with an extensive and rich section of country, has the best so ciety and first-class schools. We also obtained a passing view of the Confed erate Cemetery, where some three thou sand of our brave soldiers are peaceful ly takiDg their rest,—aud on the other side of tbe city the National Cemetery, where about ten thousand of fheir one time foemen are sleeping beneath tbe sod. Marietta has a large steam flouring mill, the Kennesaw, also a steam chair factory, while near by are iron works and the celebrated Roswell Cotton Fac tory. Train time is approaching, however, and we must take leave of friend An derson and his lovely and accomplished lady, and we settle ourself for an all night ride on our homeward journey.

We returned last week from a ten days visit to North Georgia and Middle Tennessee, where we much enjoyed the mountain air and icy waters. There seems to be a lull just now in the development of the mineral resour ces of North Georgia, but it will revive when the expansion of the currency brings better times. Mrs. Dr. Felton sent the editors a large floral wreath at the Press Con vention at Cartersvill?, and the most graceful thing was the selection by the committee of citizens of Mr. Frank Gordon, sen of Senator Gordon, to pre sent it-, which he did with appropriate remarks. We hope this olive branch will bear peaceful fruit. The banquet given the Press Associa tion by the proprietors of the Kimball House at Atlaata was a most elegant affair. Tfiis house is one of the finest in the South, being furnished with all the modern improvements, and it is kept in the very best manner. As the prices are very moderate, we advise our readers who visit Atlanta to stop at this house. The wheat crops in North Georgia are very promising. The fields of wav ing grain in the valley of the Etowah near Cartersville especially are beautiful. Cut worms are doing great damage to crops in portions of Tennessee. There is nothing so grateful to tbe heart as an annual visit to aged parents and other relatives connected by the dearest of earthly ties, and nothing so sad ly sweet as to revisit after many years the scenes of one’s childhood’s happy days. The Republicans says the Washing- ion Post, arc., in such a position that they cannot evon back down. The party has deliberately declared itself in favor of military interference with elections. The Democrats have accepted the issue. In this form will the question presented to the Ameri can people for final decision. The trouble is that the American people will not have a fair showing at the polls when the issue is to be decided. It is all very well to talk about the ap peal to the ballot-box, but if govern ment—that is, the Radical party—is to be permitted to take charge of elec tions and surround the voting places with Federal bayonets and United States supervisors and deputy Marshals, the appeal to the ballot will be very much like bringing a case in court be fore a packed jury. The people of West Point are very enthusiastic over the proposed open ing of th6 Chattahoochee river to Ice- ville, near Atlanta, and the citzens of the last named city are almost equal, ly excited. A meeting as of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce was held on Tuesday, last in which resolutions fav oring the scheme were adopted. Col. B. W. Frobel thinks that the stream can be cleaned out between the points named for $150,000, and that for $500,| 000 it can be made navigable as far as the Gulf. appeal at the September term 1879, of tbe Court of Ordinary of said com county, and show cause, if any they have, why said application should not be granted Witness my official signature this May 29th, 1879.
