lx Austria, tlioy have a law prohib
iting schoolmasters marrying with
out tho permission of the Govern
ment, and among the late official de
crees published is the following re
fusal of an application: “Consider
ing, 1, That tho schoolmaster N., ap
plying for permission to marry, is
possessed of no private fortune and
enjoys an income of only 431 florins
per annum, which would not sustain
a family; and 2, That his affianced
bride has no more than 400 florins of
private fortune, the legal license to
marry cannot be granted to said
schoolmaster.”
Wf. saw yesterday an implement
worth describing. Tho inventor is
one of our young planters, who are
determined to save labor by using la
bor-saving implements. This imple
ment is desiguod for covering cotton.
It covers two beds at once instead of
one, as does the old fashioned ‘board. ’
It consists of a piece of scantling 4x<;
inches and is 10 feet long. To this
are fixed two upright pieces, and the
whole is drawn by shafts like buggy
shafts. Plow-handles are inserted,
and (lie driver stands behind the
"drag,” and, holding the handles as
lie would a plow, guides tiie imple-!
ment as desired.
Senator Gordon, speaking of the
people beyond us, says:
They are exceedingly jealous, and
naturally so, about tile perpetuation
of what they call “the results of the
war.” They are afraid to trust the '
Democratic party witli power again,
on the solo account that they fear
reactionary legislation. 1s tus con
vince them that we accept as linal
the abolition of slavery ami the fran
chise of the negro, and will defend
them as such, and we will have done
very much towards removing the
only obstacle that stands between
the Democratic party ami an over
whelming National triumph.
Senator Gordon says the Republi
cans are hopelessly divided, ami
adds:
I do not think T exaggerate the im
portance of this division when I say
that fully half of the present Repub
lican party are to-day ready to follow
Hehurz, Fenton and Hosing, Bryant,
k Evurts and Ferry.
£ Again, says Gordon : “With a de
f stroyod ami helpless South, a pros
porous North was an impossibility.
It was as impossible os that Chung
should have lived after Eng was
dead. Hence, from the universal
stagnation of all commercial and
business matters; from the suspend
ed factories, and the starvation of the
operatives; from a Union, one-half
of which lay helpless in the hands of
the thieves, ami the other half of
which languished and sickened,
canto tiie first symptoms of re
volt. from a party which, welded to
gether by a hundred victories, had
heretofore moved its millions as a
man would lead a child.”
Wo ask Gen. Gordon, in all sincer
ity, if he does not believe that the
masses of tiie North have become
convinced finally that the stagnation
of their commerce, tho suspension of
tliolr factories, tiie starvation of their
operatives, the ruin, of the South and
the march to consolidat ion uml impe
rialism have all sprung from the war
since the war, through the two uncon
stitutional amendments and the “ap
propriate legislation” thereunder?
Augusta Const.
Even if this be the true cause, we
do not think that Gen. Gordon is in
error. The North, as well as the
South, are tired of extremists. Leg
islation hardly ever goes backward,
and tho amendments referred to, ns
bad as they are, are unfaih acsvinpli.
To accept them as such, and not en
deavor to accomplish impossibilities,
seems to the true policy. We know
that they are wrong, but we are pow
erless. The only way that we can
conciliate and win over that better
half of the Republican party which
follows Sehurz, Fenton, Evarts and j
Bryant, is to pursue a moderate
course upheld by manly dignity.
If tho election of a President is to
be decided by Southern votes, it
seems to us important that the men
who cast that vote shall he moderate
men who, like Mr. Stephens, rise
above mere partisan considerations.

Our telegrams of Saturday inform
ed us that there Jr a prospect for a
war in Europe. It is state! that Ger
many's attitude towards Belgium is
threatening, and that Germany, fear
ing to offend civilization by direct
war on France, will precipitate a con
flict with Belgium.
Tho same spirit that has consolida
ted tlm little Duchies, that has made
Posen,Pomerania, Brandonburg, Sile
sia, Saxony, Hesse, Electoral, Sleswlg,
Holstein, etc., all Prussia Prussia
that has swallowed up Hanover also
Prussia that now stands at tho head of j
tho German Empire, and whose
King is now an Emperor—the same i
spirit, wo repeat, that induced her to
incorporate und amalgamate Alsace
and Lorraine, now seeks to grasp
Belgium, also. “Wo need frontiers,”
say the Prussians, “until we conquer
ed those provinces we luid none, and
it became necessary to force all our
population to become educated and |
to make each man an armed soldier. |
Self-preservation now requires a rec
tification of frontiers.” It, is the old
plea: “the end justilies tiie means.”
But, if Bismarck attempts it, wo
think Belgium will prove his Water
loo. A greater than he, “tiie grand |
Monarque” Napoleon TANARUS, found his vie- j
torious career closed there. Goethe in
his grand drama, Oatltde lierliehingen
surnarnod the hand of iron, for his ser
vices Iri the wars between tiie Elec
tors of Brandenburg and Bavaria, at
the commencement of tho sixteenth
century, deplores a war between Ger
man and German, and animates ills j
eliivalrie hero with that noble yearn- j
lug after a common nationality,
which was the real cause of the suc
cess of the Germans in the last war
with France. Tho Germans consti
tute, a people one automony, and ono
language, and it is the most intelli
gent race in tho world. But tiie Belgi
ans are not Germans; they speak tho
French language ami are essentially
French in their characteristics. It
was the boast of Louis Napoleon that
the French wore the only people who
would battle for an idea. That idea
was tho nationalization of peoples.
The Italian principalities should be
consolidated under one King, and the
Iberian peninsular should be ruled
by its own Prince. Hence the propo
sition to place a German upon the
1 throne of Spain, ignited the flames of
1 war almost instantly, and that gigan
tic war between France and all Ger
many was the result. But two little
countries form the balances which
form the equilibrium of Europe. These
two countries are Switzerland and
Belgium. Their weakness is their
strength. Unable to protect them
selves, nil Europe will combine to
protect them. Each country is an
asylum for the oppressed and ban
ished ; in each country seiende and
letters are peculiarly fostered; and
neither country is ever troubled with
thoughts of conquest or fears of be
ing swallowed up by its more ambi
tious neighbors. They are essentially
neutral States, and ere Belgium shall
be incorporated into Prussia, even
the sleeping British lion will east off;
tiie dream of [icaee and send his an
gry roar across the channel. Eurojxi j
will not let Belgium die.

Two ImiMirtant ItiifOlnio.
The Georgia Railroad lias made two
changes that we believe will he gen
orally followed, viz: Ist, n reduction
in tiie price of passenger, travel; und
I 2d, the introduction of second-class
| ears. The first reduction will, it is!
said, be about 50 per cent, less thun
that now charged, while tiie second
I change is adopted as a peaceable way
to dispose of the vexatious Civil
! Bights hill.
“The first-class ear will lie a special
j accommodation provided for a eer
, tain cluss of passengers, tiie agent to
S be the judge of who properly belongs
to that class,” says the Atlanta Her
! uhl.
\Ye fear that this last clause will
I prove inoperative. We believe the
| “innovation” can be still further im
proved, and tiie whole matter settled
satisfactorily by having a third-class
cur also. This custom of flfst, second,
and third-class cars is universal in
Europe, and lias been since the intro
j ductlou of railroads. If we are not
| mistaken, the Civil Rights hill, until
| it is declared to lie unconstitutional,
provides that the negro, if tie pays
j full price, shall ride in the first class
ear. But, if the prices are reduced to
second and third-class, making the
latter much tiie cheapest, no trouble
would ensue, except iu very rare in
stances. Not ono negro in a thousand
would select either the second or
first-class cars if the third-class car
was much the cheapest. We venture
| to suggest that a further reduction
j be made, so as to include third-class
! accommodation; or let the price of
i the flrst-elass ear be what it is now,
: and the seconil and third-classes be
1 charged according to tho proposed
i reduction for the first and second
classes. In England, when it was de
-1 decided to reduce the cost of travel,
: and, if we mistake not, of postage
also, it was feared that great sacrifices
would ensue.
Results proved, however, that both
travel and postage increased so rap
j idly as to make the measure very
profitable.
CojiruLsoßv education is being agi
j tated in several States, and in New
; York City it has already boon put in
! operation.
The Washington chronicle con
demns the action of the Secretary of
j the Navy in using the Government
steamer Dispatch to facilitate the j
j prosecution of a voyage of pleasure
j by United States Senators to Mexico;
j but says that Mr. Robeson granted
■ their application under the impres
’ sion that the public interests would
I be thereby subserved, “for, as soon as
1 it was made manifest by the press,
and undenied from any quarter, that j
the contemplated voyage was one of
j pleasure, or on private business, he j
! promptly ordered the Dispatch to re
main on the line of its regular cruises
on official duty, with the full approval;
of the Senators, ex-Senator Chandler j
and the privute gentlemen composing !
tho party.”
Our own opinion is, that the
two terrors—yellow fever and public
opinion -caused the Senators to aban
don the visltto Mexico on a Govern
ment steamer at tho expense of the
Government.

On the 19th of last month a foul

days since, and taken in charge by a
party of citizens. The latter started
for Pine House with their prisoner,

JSditors Constitution: Cotton pro- j
during lands are not all of the wealth
of Georgia, if too many of her jieoplo !
do think it is the only crop they can i
raise. Northwest of tho fine across j
the State, formed by the Air-Line and
tho Atlanta and West Point Rail- j
roads, is a region where mineral;
Aveultli is destined in the future to
yield to the Blare more net profit j
than all the cotton raised at the pres
ent time. At the same time tills re-!
gion produces large quantities of cot- i
ton, at a less cost per pound than
any other section of tiie State. One
of the most notable counties of North
Georgia is the one from which I write
—Bartow-possessing, as it does, im- •
incuse mineral wealth, thousands of
acres of first-class lands, good, pure!
water, a good climate anil unsur
passed water power. I have been tiie I
more forcibly struck witli Hie value
of tiiis region by lately looking over .
a map of the "geology of Bartow j
county by George Little, State Geol
ogist/’ and I may add, a work very |
creditable to Dr" Little and his As
sistants. It should bo engraved and |
thousands of copies printed, that the
world may see her wealth, and that
Georgia is taking a place among Un
living active States.
From this may we learn that up
the valley through which Pettits
creek runs, fitly named the Iron Val
ley by a gentleman from New York,
there are within eighteen milestwelve .
beds of iimosite (brown heinilute, j
iron ore, several of them of great size, 1
and they are of unusual richness.
Near the same valley are also several
beds of manganese of the greatest
purity, much of which has been ship
ped to New York and thence to Eu
rope. Couple with this a valley sel
dom less than half a mile wide,which
is as rich as the famous Etowah bot
toms, which is separated only by a
narrow ridge on the northeast, from
the wondrously fertile valleys of Pine
Log and Siicoe, the favorite homes of
the Indians and lands which they cul
tivated hundreds of years ago. MV
are in the habit of talking of the Gen
nessee and the .Mohawk, or rattier
those of ns who have seen
THE GARDEN FARMS
on those streams, hut here among us
are lands oquallingeitherin richness !
and as well cultivated, for there is no
better farmer than Mr. Thompson,
who manages the Johnson place, ami
Mr. Erwin s never fails to speak for
itself. But while this valley is une
qualled in the quantity und quality
of its mineral wealth, having superb
slate as well as iron ore, yet nature
has with a lavish baud strewn on
other sections tiie king of all metals.
Beds of greater or less extent exist
every where, while on the Cherokee
road, and also near Kingston, are
several of very considerable size. A
Pittsburg man told me that one hill
in the iron valley, if on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, as near as it is to the
Western & Atlantic, would Im- worth ’
a.million dollars. He did not think
two of the largest furnaces in Pitts
burg could exhaust it in two hundred
years.
In addition to the fertile soil, liar
tow has immense forests of excellent
timber, and full a hundred water
powers which would run each from
1,000 to 2,000 spindles, and on the Et
owah near this place enough power
easily made available to run full 100,-
000 spindles with the requisite looms.
From the western extreme of this
' county, your city is now supplied by
! the Cherokee road with its best lum
: her, and Rockmart, just a little ix--
| yond, oouid furnish
KI.ATF. FOR THE I SITED STATES
■ for many a year. But there is not a
j cotton factory in the county, while
she raises and ships off about 12,000
lodes of the staple. The magnificent
j jiower on the Etowah rolls and surges
as if daring man to stem it; the old
Cooiier ruins creak in the fierce winds
jot winter, and daily the trains pass
■ by laden with bales seeking spindles
and s(ieeuiators in the North. But in
j iron slie lias done better. Years ago
old Moses Strong erected a furnace
near the mouth of Stamp creek, and
i later tin- energy and excellent busi
ness abilities of Dr. Lewis made a
; practical success of the others. Now
the county has three small furnaces
jon Stamp creek, each a capacity of
three tons per day, hut only one
■ Ward's running; then on the West
ern & Atlantic Railroad the Rogers
! furnace, which averaged six tons per
j day last blast, not now running; and
the Bartow furnaces, both now run
‘ nitig of coke, and jointly making
about thirty tons per dav. When all
I these are running to their full eapa
| city, they can easily make at least
I fifty tons of iron per day, which, at
an average price of S3O per ton, is
j $450,000, or more than two-thirds the
\ value of the whole cotton crop raised
: in the county.
Bartow, too, can claim
MOUNTAIN SCENERY
of great fceauty and grandeur. The
drive up the Etowah from Uartersville
to Stamp creek, can hardly bo sur
passed anywhere for its wild grandeur.
For six miles one skirts along the
narrow road, the towering cliffs on
i one hand and the foaming river on
| the other, and as lie. climbs some
j high point, a wilderness of mountains
j to the east, while to the setting suii
! stretches out far in the distance that
; valley of such wonderful fertility,
! that some past race should have forti
fied it with stui-ndous earthworks.
I Now all is rich in the glowing green
of bursting spring, with here and
■ there the creamy white of the pear
I blossom, the snow of the plum, or tiie
I rich pink of the peach.
My prosaic hand and head fail, in
describing the beauty of this scene,
and picture to me the beetling crags
and wildly rushing waters, the tow
ering chimneys and huge old Avails
| of stone, once the busy scene of in
dustry, to the poetic mind may easily
| be transformed into the ruins of some
old feudal cast le where portcullis was
dropped and drawbridge swung for
i many a bloody fight, and thus might
my [Kiel fauev turn on herself the
I banks of the Rhine, but to me, ever
with my practical thoughts as tu
unutilized spindle power, the past of
! the Etowah is an ever thought fur
nishing mystery. its present a thing
|of beauty, its future, if Georgians
will, a source of great wealth.
Near tiiis little city, too, are moun
tains of no mean size, one which,
from its prominence and peculiar po
| sition, has one of the finest views I
have ever beheld, almost equaling
that of Lookout, near Chattanooga.
A citizen of this place lias given it a
mime which modesty forbids me to
proclaim; hut I may, nevertheless,
urge every visitor to tiiis place to view
| the sunset from its top, especially as
a good carriage road exists to near
j the summit. It looks over more cul
tivated land than any point in any
mountainous region that I have ever
j seen in a very extended travel. The
! view is especially fine ms the trains
! are coming and going, but that hour
is unfortunately too warm for a sum
mer trip. Higher up the iron valley
is tho Pine Log mountain of great
height, hut it is a mass of spurs and
high ridges, and chiefly looking over
; a wilderness of mountains, yet a good
carriage road goes to the very sum
mit, and a trip there would form a
pleasant summer excursion, especial
ly if Rowland Springs were taken in
the way. This once popular und de
lightful place has been refitted and
will be opened the coming summer.

ed and in operation toSeguin by July
next, which, we believe, is only twen
ty-eight miles from San Antonio. The
iron is now on the way to complete i
the track to the Guadalupe. The fact j
that this road is the only one in the '
State, and, indeed, almost the only'
one in the South, whose construction
has not been suspended during the
financial crisis of tiie past year, re
flects no little credit on the men who
have had it in charge, und who have
surmounted so many difficulties.
