Chicago Times (tor Tilden.)] The possibility of Mr. Hayes’ elec tion now depends upon bis getting the 35 electoral votes of New York, or, in lieu of that, upon his getting 21 or more Electoral votes from other States that are expected to vote for Tilden. Conceding New York to Tllden, where is It possible for Hayes to get 21 Electoral votes In addition to the 164 assigned him in the sub joined table: TILDEN COLUMN. . BATXH COLUMN. Al.h..*.

Of the Southern States in the same column, Louisiana is the only onejwhich Mr. Hayes’ advo cates can say is questionoble, unless the military method of manufactur ing majorities be again put into oper ation. To elect Mr. Hayes without the votes of New York, it is plainly necessary that he should get the votes of California and New Jersey in the North and Louisiana or its equivalent in the South, Unless the Southern “Democracy” should furn ish some pretext for the substitution of bayonets instead of ballots or bar rels of money in the South, the chances of Mr. Hayes' election without tbs votes of New York are not worth considering. Manifestly, the managers for Mr. Hayes do not regard such chances worth oonsiderlug. The battle ground is transferred to New York, they say. Upon getting the electoral vote of Lew York they how place all their hope of electing their man. Upon New York all the electioneer ing appliances must now be brought to bear. Chicago Inter-Ocean (for Hayes.)] We concede, for the sake of the argument, that Indiana will cast its Electoral vote for Tilden: STATES TON MATES.

South Carolina 7 Louisiana 8 New Jersey 9 Total 88 New York 35 • By the above tables Hayes would lack 28 votes aDd Tilden Cl votes of the necessary 185 making up a ma jority. These votes must be secured from the doubtful States. Of these, New York, with its 35, would elect Mr. Hayes, while it would lack 26 of giving Tilden the necessary number. In no event can Tilden lose New York and suoceed, while Hayes may be elected without it. California can bardlv be oounted a doubtful State; it is almost certain to cast its vote for Hayes. With these 6 votes Hayes would lack but 22 of a majority, and out of the remaining 47 votes, outside of New York, might pretty safely count upon enough to give him the victory. But New York is most con fidently claimed by the Republicans, and the chances are strongly in their favor. If, in addition to the States conceded to him, however, casting 124 votes, Tilden should carry New York, South Carolina, Oregon, Lou isiana and Florida, and fail in the other States, he would be defeated; while if Hayes should lose New York and gain North Carolina, Louisiana, and either New Jersey or California, and Connecticut, he would have a majority. Chlugo Tribun* (for Hsyes.) It will bear repetition to say that the center of the political battle is moved to New York. The loss of In diana to the Republicans makes it not impossible, but rather difficult, to figure out the election of Hayes and Wheeler without the assistance of Now York. They can be elected with out the assistance of New York, but it would not be safe to bet upon it. The following States may be con sidered morally certain to cast their Electoral votes for the Republican Presidential nominee, ana one of them—Colorado—is already secured: Colorado 8 Rhode Island 4 Illinois 21 Boufch Carolina. 7 lowa 11 Vermont 5 Kansas 6 Wisconsin 10 Maims 7 California % Massachusetts 13 Florida 4 Michigan.. 11 Minnesota 6 Sure for Hayes 174 Nebraska 3 Add Oregon 8 Nevada 3 New Jersey 8 New Hampshire 6 Ohio 22 Necessary to a ch'ce.!Bs Pennsylvania........ 28 It is possible the Republicans may fail to carry New Jersey, but on the other hand they have an even chance ot electing their ticket in North Car lina, which is a very hopeful State, as there are white Republicans enough to afford very considerable protection to the colored voters. And then Indiana may be won for Hayes in November. This State has not gone Democratic for President since 1856—20 years ago. The Demo crats have almost always carried In diana on the off-years, and some times at the October election of the Presidential year, as was the case in 1872, but at the November election has always given its vote for the Re publican candidates for President, and, if the precedent be followed, will do it again. But leaving this change out of account, we have named the States that can elect Hayes without either Indiana or New York. But the thing to do is to carry New YoJk, and make per fectly sure of electing Hayes. With the vote of New York for Hayes he can afford to lose Indiana, New Jer sey, Connecticut, Oregon, Florida, South Carolina, ank still be elected. Hence we call New York the key stone of the arch in this contest. A Georgia colored debating society was lately discussing “which is the best for the colored man, to work for wages, or part of the crop?” An old “uncle” spoke the sense of the meeting when he thought “bofe was de best, if dey could only be brung togedder somehow.” W.

From th Atluita Oountitutlou.] Few people have any idea of the amount of gold that is dug out of the North Georgia hills and shipped to Atlanta every month. Sorno days ago we published a news-note in which we stated that Messrs. Jas. R. Wylie & Cos., of this oity, received about $3,000 a month in gold dust from that region. We learn that Messrs. Moore. Marsh & Cos. receive double as much, and that others reoelve fully that much. In fact it pours in a yellow stream from the rich mountains into our favored city. There are single mills at Dab lonega that get out $5,000 worth of gold per month. We do not believe that less than $30,000 worth of gold per month reaches Atlanta from North Georgia every month; possi bly $50,000. Around Dahlonega there is a per fect nest of mills. The Hand Gold Mining Company are running at pres ent 20 stamp mills; the Benning Mine 10 stamp mills; the Lawrence Mines stamp mills; the Finley Mine 29stampmills; the Huff Mine 5 stamp mills. Ther6 wo have 64 stamp mills working within less than two miles of Dahlonega. Mr. Lombard has an 8 stamp mill, and the Oglo Mill, with a 5 stamp mill, are within two or three miles of tho other. Besides these there are several mines in White county being worked success fully. There are others in Hall coun- ty doing quite as well. Apart from the mills there is a per fect swarm of vein workers or opera tors, who work deposits or veins in stead of the ore. They simply wash the sand and dirt in huge shaking troughs, and gather the gold-spccka with quicksilver, which gathers every particle of the metal into an amal §am. These operations need no mills, ut bring a very large amount of dust into market. Among others of the rich mines are notably the Ballafield, the Glade the old Findley, the Versey and the Jones. There are scores of these vein or deposit mines. The little boys in and about Dahlonega spend their leisure hours in sifting the loose soil in a pan full of water, and make 30 to 70 conts a day. We were shown on yesterday a solid nug gest of gold as large as the first joint of your little finger that was picked up by the steel workers in Dnhlone ga as they were grading the public road. The vein of gold which starting in North Carolina runs through all this section, dipping to the Southwest and touching Carrel I county, is ex ceedingly rich and perfectly inex haustible. As soon as the country is developed it will attract thousands of capitalists who will go into the mining business legitimately and en rich themselves and the State. There is more mining now being done in North Georgia than before in twenty years and the industry is growing rapidly. Ail of the mills that are properly managed are pay ing handsome dividends. An im mense amount of money has been invested there, the Yahoula compa ny having built an immense aque duct which carries a stream of water over twenty miles to their mills. Atlanta is the market for all these companies; they ship a quantity of their dust here, and buy their goods here. There is hardly a day but that strangers pass through the city, en route to the gold fields, and North Georgia will before long literally swarm with miners. DIET WORTH SEVENTY-SIX DOLLARS A TON. We saw on yesterday several speci mens of silver ore, taken from a field near Gainesville, which assays $76 to the ton. There were huge blocks of it picked up at random and sent to the assayist, who, upon returning the assay, made an offer of $10,300 for thirty acres, which was acoepted. The assayist, Mr. Loman, of Boston, is now preparing to forward ma chinery to crush the ore, and win the silver heart out ot it. Insurance and Real Estate Agency.

J„ free of cost. The following Is an extract from a description, published iu the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist. Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do" sort, aud somo of them, who havo turned their attention to fruita and market gardening, have grown rich. The aoil ia loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and aurface gently undulating, interaected with Binall streams and occasional wot meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after *it baa been exhausted of lta natural fertility. It la certainly sne of the moat extensive fertile tracts. In su almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant fanning, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologiat would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country Is a marina deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareoa* substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forma of ancient sheila, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, In a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by auch plants as the farmer desires to ultlvate.
