Dear Sirs—As the time for the election

relative to the vote of tfiil county would not
bo amiss, nor doing injustice to any one ot
the candidates. “—4.
At ancli a time it is not unusual for many

disclaim being actuated by any such wire
working motives, and wish no one to bo de

The respective candidates have good, true
and strong friends here. Many of both par

and he will consequently, in my humble
opinion, get a larger vote in this county than
any other candidate. I shall take great
pleasure in casting-mv vote for him, but not
on account of his political predilections. Os
this fact he is well rfwnre. I shall vote for
him, however, from an honest conviction that
I shall feel, whether be be elected or de
feated, that I have cast my vote for a man
worthy nnd well qualified to discharge the
duties Incumbent upon the office of State’s
Solicitor—that I have done my doty to a man

The result in Illinois, says the Georgia
Telegraph of the 9lh alt., shows a most ex
traordinary hold of Douglas on the popular
heart of that State. In spite of all opposi
tion, front and rear, he triumphs alike by a
popular and legislative majority. The Dem
ocratic opposition- to him amounted, in tbs
to short of 3.000 votes out of
240,000. He has a majority of four in each
legislative house,’ and divides the Congress
ional representation equally with the Black
Republicans. In the first tour districts—
Washburne, Farnsworth, Lovejoy and Kel

LEDGEVILLE.
The iron products of Pennsylvania ore an
nually 822,000,000.
This employs a capital of #3,000,000. It
also gives ’employment and subsistence to
5,000 working men, and as many more wo
men and children. _ 1
The cotton crop of Georgia is estimated
at *25,000,000.
The capital employed in cotton making
in Georgia, estimating 4 bales per baud, and
$lO per acre for the land, and other tilings
in proportion, is 850,000,000 for land, stock,
Ac., $60,000,000 for negroes, making $T 10,-
WO.OOO. 6
This employs 125,000 negroes, besides
owners, overseers, &c. „■ ‘
The iron crop of Pennsylvania, annually
employing a capital of $5,000,000, and
5.000 men to work it. is nearly equal to the
entire cotton crop of Georgia; employing a
capital of 8110,000,000 and U 25.000 bands.
Cherokee Georgia has iron resources equal
to Pennsylvania and physical resources to
develop them. If developed, Cherokee Geor
gia would make products nearly equal in
vajne to the cotton products of the Blate.
Without a railroad, it cannot be develop
ed. The difference to Georgia would be
millions of iron product* besides those r,f tbe
farm, the orchard, the garden and the dairy,
for export, where she now iimport,t t, and pays
for out of her cotton crop. The statesman
who would anticipate the grand spectacle,
may sum up the item, fill out the picture, and
gaze with admiration.
The difference to the Western and Atlan
tic Railrpad, would be, tbe addition of freights
from a railroad traversing this iron region of
Etowah Valley, equal to all the way sta
tions besides put together. This is true, be

we pay for the bells—and ring ourtrlcrt.—
But the calls are not returned. Wbst we get

At home, if we call on a neighbor and ha
