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 cause, four miles of this road, just comple ted, now puts on and receives-fjrom tbe State Road, more freights than Is at any other De pot, end as much as ten of thd” smaller De pots put .together, (Bee Dr. Lewis’ Report) Georgia now imports millions of dollars worth of iron and iron products; millions Al so of products of tlie-furm, orchard, garden and dairy.
