sources.
“ Mr. J. W. Jones, of Lebanon, Penn
sylvania, has .recently spent some time
in exploring the iron regions of Upper
Georgia. Mr. Jones is the proprietor
of a large mining interests in Pennsyl-
I vania, and he gives it as his opinion
that Georgia and Alabama are richer in
iron ore than any State in the Union.
•Iron which costs $8 a ton for getting
out in Pennsylvania, can be gotten out
in Georgia for 81 GO.”
fti 18G9, Col. E. llulbert, Superin
tendent Western and Atlantic Railroad,
impressed with the conviction that val
uable deposits of coal and iron existed
in Northwest Georgia, authorized the
Rev. Charles Howard, of Kingston, to
make a general preliminary exploration
of that portion of the territory of Geor
gia between the Western and Atlantic
Railroad and the State of Alabama and
Tennessee, north of Rome, Ga., and to
report the result of that examination to
him.
The report was printed in pamphlet
form and scattered broadcast over the
State, but failed to arouse the interest
which the importance of the subject
would warrant.
In speaking of the deposits of iron,
Mr. Howard says:
“ Along the base of the Lookout, and
separated by a narrow valley of an av
erage of one half mile, there is a small
mountain called Shinbone, which accom
panies Lookout from Gadsden to the ter
minusof Pigeon mountain. This Shin
bone mountain is an almost continuous
bed of pure fossilifferous iron ore from
its beginning to its end 'ihus the
coal and iron ore are within a mile of
each other for a distance of more than
forty miles. The time will come when
this narrow valley will be filled with fur
naces. There is the coal, the iron, lime,
sand stone, fire-clay, the water —ail that
is needed is capital and transportation.
Leaving Shinbone, I crossed east to
Dirt Seller Mountain, in the Southern
portion of Broom Town Valley, in Chat
tooga county. Th 13 mountain runs
northeast and Southwest, and is about
twelve miles long. I saw upon it, with
out exaggeration, acres of ground lit
erally paved with the heaviest and finest
of fossiiliferous ore.
1 examined the ore of the east of
Taylor’s Ridge, between Maddox Gap
and Treadway. It is impossible to ex
aggerate the quantity and value of this
ore. It is inexhaustable, and it is the
same fossiliferous ore now used at Corn
wall and found at Round Mountain—
perhaps heavier and richer than either.”
And yet, with this wonderfully rich
and inexhaustible supply of iron ore,
but few miles distant from, and almost
within sight of our railways, these mines
of wealth and independence, remain un
developed for the want of enterprise on
our part.
AN’ith the hills and mountains of
Northwest Georgia, packed full and lit
erally paved with iron of richest qual
ity, we import our supplies of this pre
cious metal. Pennsylvania grows rich
in furnishing Georgia with iron and
steel, with plows, which arc literally
worn out on the iron ore covering her
hillsides.
Georgia grows poor under this sui
cidal policy. Shall we develop the mines
of wealth and thereby render ourselves
independent, or shall we remain the
slaves of the more enterprising ?
We speak of Georgia as the Empire
State of the South, while, in fact, it is
an empire of wants, supplied by others.
On the subject of coal, Mr. Howard
says:
I ascended Lookout Mountain at
Cooper’s Gap, between fifteen and twen
ty miles west of Ringgold, on the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad. Lookout
Mountain at this point is between five
and six miles broad. About midway of
the mountain and on the top, there rises
a comparatively small moutain, which
is called Round Mountain. This eleva
tion is 300 or 400 feet above the gen
eral surface of Lookout. It is about
two miles in diameter at its base, about
six miles in circumferenco. I found
coal dropping out at ten different places
around the base of the mountain.—
Three different seams show themselves
at different elevations. These seams
vary in thickness from twenty-four to
forty inches, but always increase in
depth as they are opened. The coal is
of excellent quality, very free from sul
phur, and burning freely on a free wood
fire. It is free from slate and leaves
but little ashes. The quantity of coal
in this locality »iust be enormous. The
seams are horizontal and the opportu
nity for drainage admirable. Round
Mountain and vicinity can supply the
wants of Georgia for an indefinite pe
riod. The width of this Georgia coal
territory varies from one to twelve miles,”
\\ ith ample deposits within our own
territory, we import our supplies of coal
for Middle, Westerja and Southwestern
Georgia, from Alabama and Tennessee,
and for Eastern Georgia from Pennsyl
; vania.
How long, pray, myst we continue to
buy from others and permit our own dc
posits to remain locked up in our hills
and mountains!
Mr, Howard, says further: “This
examination discloses a vast amount of
dormant material wealth heretofore and
now useless to the State.”
“ It is fortunate for us that Lookout,
in Georgia, contains a full supply of
coal for all our wants.
The question now arises as to wheth
er it would remunerate the State to de
velop these dormant resources by afford
ing to them railroad transportation. It
is now a settled fact that we have coal,
iron ore, and probably oil, in great abun-

dance. They are now worthless for
want of transportation.”
Atlanta draws her main supply of
coal from a point SGO miles distant.—
The coal bods described by Mr. How
ard are distant only about 135 miles.
There are three railroad charters in
existence, namely: The Atlanta and
Lookout from Ringgold, the Lookout
from Kingston, and the Rome and Sum
merville from Rome, either of which
ii completed would develop the coal
beds of Georgia.
The building of the latter would fur
nish Rome with cheap coal, rapidly
build up her manufacturing interests,
and in five or six years give her thirty
to forty thousand inhabitants.
The completion of either of the other
lines will give Atlanta cheap coal, with
out which she can never become a man
ufacturing city.
Shall we develop our Georgia mines,
or shall we continue to pay tribute to
Alabama and Tennessee ?
From Pomeroy’s Democrat.
Democracy, True ami False.
A large proportion of the press of
the country claiming to be Democratic,
which possesses the virtue of zeal, if
not of wisdom or knowledge, in its ad
vocacy of the party known as the “ new
departure,” is at this time busily en
gaged in abusing and villifying that
other—and not inconsiderable portion
of the Democratic press, which has fail
ed to acknowledge either the wisdom or
the beneficial effects of that political
faith in behalf of which these “latter
day ” apostles are so zealous.
Every journal which fails to recog
nize or acknowledge the saving power of
this newly found political dogma, is ve
hemently denounced and stigmatized as
devoting such ability and influence as it
may possess to the creationof division
and dissension in the party, and thereby
contributing, so far as in it lies, to a fu
ture defeat of the Democracy.
When large numbers of life-long,
earnest, ardent Democrats are charged
with treason to the party, it is time
that it should be definitely settled who
are the recreants, and who the true and
loyal adherents to the Democratic faith
handed down to us by our fathers.—
Have the promoters and advocates of
this new political heresy, reflected upon
the dilemma in which the adoption of
their views uiu.-J unavoidably place the
great National Democratic party?
From the hour these amendments
were first proposed; through all the
stages and phases of force and fraud
whereby their ratification was claimed
to have been secured, up to within a re
very recent period, the Democracy of
the country have been unanimous in de
nouncing them as unjust and iniqui
tous. The Democratic press of the en
tire country overflowed with arguments
and opinions from able constitutional
lawyers, branding these so-called amend
ments as fraudulent and illegal.
Every Democratic Convention—State
or National—has charged aud main
tained, in explicit and unequivocal lan
guage, that the so-called Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments arc in no
sense amendments to the Constitution
but radical changes of that instrument,
conflicting with the principle of State
rights, which was the very ground work
of the compact between the sovereign
States adopting it.
Every recognized leader of the party
has steadfastly upheld the theory that
the great fundamental difference between
the parties contending for supremacy in
this country lies in the fact that the
Democratic party is founded upon the
principle of State sovereignty, in its
broadest and amplest signification—con
sistent always with the rights and pow
ers expressly delegated to the General
Government—while the Republican par
ty was based upon the idea of a strong
centralized and consolidated General
Government, in which the States pos
sessed no “ rights the Nation was bound
to respect.”
This has been the position of the
Democratic party since these Republi
can outrages upon the rights and liber
ties of the poople were first proposed.
If these “ new departure ” Demo
crats are right now, the entire Democ
racy of the country was wrong then.—
If these zealous advocates of the newly
discovered Democratic faith are right
now, then the great National Democrat
ic party of the country is open to the
charge that its course during the past
four years has been dictated by a fac
tious, partisan opposition to just and
wise legislation.
\\ ho then are the true exponents of
sound genuine Democracy ?
Those who have clung with the tena
city of unalterable conviction, through
good report and evil report, to the prin
ciples of Democratic faith; or those
who now assume to speak for the party
and are strenuously endeavoring to em
body in the Democratic creed the most
objectionable features of Republicanism,
aud whose highest idea of politics ap
pears to be successful, and they at once
lose their characteristics.
Which is true Democracy, and which
false ? *

A farmer who went to Texas to
buy a farm was greatly prejudiced against
the country he thought to settle in.
from the fact that a doctor whom he called
to attend him when he was seized with
a feve, began trying on his clothes im
mediately after writing a prescription.
The fact that while the doctor was try
ing on his coat the chambermaid was
examining his handkerchiefs, and the
porter was tugging at his boots, lent
wings to his imagination and doubtless
had an influence in regard to liis speedy
xit from the State.
A AYarning.
Edwin A inprey, a young man aged
about 19 years, committed suicide in .1
plank yard on Saturday night last. He
left a not e stating that he had no money,
no health, no prospect of doing anything
in the future, and that he had deter
mined to die rather than exist as he had
been living for awhile. He left a com
fortable siuation in the country eighteen
months ago to*seek a place in the city.
Since then he has barely made a living,
going from one situation to another.—
N. Y. 7'ones.
In the above paragraph we have giv
en briefly, but iuipressively, the sad his
tory of hundreds of young men who
are tempted by the love of fine dress,
excitement, or the prospect of getting
genteel situations, at good salaries, in
stores or banks, to leave certain employ
ment at remunerative wages, comfortable
homes and health-giving influences in
the country, for the doubtful chances of
poorly paid places in close confined
houses in noisy cities, with their vices
and corrupting associations. Will the
truth never be realized that farming is
as honorable and every bit as genteel as
banking or the dry goods business?
Will it never be known that the cities
are crowded with eager applicants for
situations of all kinds, and that boys
from the country cannot secure positions
unless they can command powerful influ
ences in their favor, and then they
must, work a longtime for a little or no
pay. Then these situations may be taken
from them at any time by others willing
to serve for less. In every large city
there are numbers of young men wan
dering idly about, without money or
prospects, dissipated, wrecked in char
acter or purse or destitute in energy ;
they left good homes and alter an unsat
isfactory existence for a while were left
to loaf around doing nothing. True,
there are young men who go from the
country and do well in the cities, but
for one instance of this kind, there are
twenty who miserably fail. Better re
main contented in the country where
you are needed and where you can al
ways make a good living.
Cure of Cancer by Keel Clover.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: Some
remarkable cures effected by the use of
a decoction of the common red clover
drank 9s a’ toil and used as a wash, have
lately called attention to the medicinal
properties of the plant. This, however,
cannot be said to be anew remedy ; it
has been employed for some years past,
and there are some apparently well at
tested cases of its efficacy even after the
disease had become distressingly painful,
and all hopes were given up. The fol
lowing report of one of these cases has
been written for us by a coirespondent:
Joel Rood, son in-law of Truman
Woodford, has a cousin residing in
Great Barrington, Mass., the wife of a
hotel-keeper, who had cancer in one
breast, which became so serious that the
whole gland was removed by a surgeon,
and the wound healed. About a year
after, the cancerous tumor broke
out in the other breast, and was begin
ning to be serious. Mr. Rood, seeing
the good effects of the clover tea and
wash on his father-in-law, Truman Wood
ford, wrote to his cousin informing her
of the fact, and urging her to try the
remedy. She adopted it at once, and
in a month was entirely healed, and at
the time of receiving this information,
which was a year or more afterwards, no
reappearance of the tumor has occurred.
The following appears in the American
Dispensatory, by Dr. John King, of Cin
cinnati, Ohio:
RED CLOVER, THE BLOSSOMS, PROPER
TIES AND USES.
“The extract, spread on linen cloth or
soft thin leather, is said to be an excel-,
lent remedy for cancerous ulcers. It is
also highly recommended in ill-condition
ulcers of every kind, and deep, ragged
edged and otherwise badly conditioned
burns. It possesses a peculiar soothing
property, and proves an efficacious de
tergent, and promotes a healthful gran
ulation.”
Bad Tidings,
For some days past it has been known
that a gang of infuriated and lawless ne
groes had lately been committing very
serious offenses in the vicinity of Iloek
ersville, in Franklin county, ten miles
northeast of Winchester. On Tuesday
morning last, as we learn from the Win
chester Home Journal, six lawyers left
that town and went to Hockersville, for
the purpose of investigating the circum
stances referred to. Six negroes had
previously been arrested, charged with
burning the residence of W. II Wag
ner, a very worthy and highly esteemed
citizen of that locality, anu also with
the destroying of a church and school
house in the same vicinity. Mr. Wag
ner and his family were absent at the
time of the occurrence, and there was
no insurance on the property. Full in
vestigation established the innocence of
two of the suspected parties, and they
were relea c ed. The other four were
taken to Winchester and placed in jail.
One of them turned State's evidence,
aud was permitted to give bail. A re- I
port reached the city last evening that ]
at daylight yesterday morning the bod- j
ies of two nesrroes were found hanging I
in a tree near Decherd Station, and the
body of another negro, who had been 1
killed by shooting, was found near the '
same place. We are not prepared to
to vouch for the truth of this rumor,and
earnestly hope that it may tain out to
be without any foundation ip t^ct. —
Inion t£* American.
John Marshall.
The following pen sketch of this em
inent jurist and patriot, is from the
journal of an English traveler, who
spent a week in Richmond in the Spring
of 1835:
“The Judge is a tall venerable man,
about 80 years of age, his hair tied in a
cue, according to the olden customs, aud
with a countenance indicating that sim
plicity of mind and benignity, which
so eminently distinguish his character.
Asa judge he has no rival, his knowl
edge being profound, his judgment
clear and just; and his quickness in
apprehending either the fallacy or truth
of an argument is surprising. I had
the pleasure of several long coversations
with him, and was struck with admira
tion at the extraordinary union of mod
esty and power, gentleness and force
which his mind displays. What he
knows he communicates without reserve;
he speaks with clearness of expression,
and in a tone of simple truth which
compels couvietion ; and on all subjects
on which his knowledge is not certain,
or which admit of doubt or argument,
he deliverr his opinion with a candid
diffidence, and with a deference for that
of others amounting almost to timidity;
still it is a timidity which would disarm
the most violent opponent, and win re
spect and credence from any auditor.—
1 remember having often observed a
similar characteristic attributed to the im
mortal Newton. The simplicity of his
character is not more than that of
his life; pride of ostentation and
hypocrisy are “Greek to him,” and
he really lives up to the letter, and
spirit of republicanism, while he main
tains all the dignity due to his age and
office. His house is small, and more
humble in appearance than those of the
average of successful lawyers or mer
chants'. * * * * * *
In short, blending, as he does, the sim
plicity of a child and the plainness of a
republican with the learning and abil
ity of a lawyer, the venerable dignity of
his appearance would not suffer in com
parison with the most respected an dis
tinguished-looking peer in the British
House of Lords.”
Thoughtfulness:.
Young man, in the flush of early
strength, stop and think ere you take a
downward step. Many a precious life
is wrecked through carelessness alone.
If you find yourself in low company, do
not sit carelessly by till you are gradu
ally but surely drawn into the whirl
pool of iniquity and shame, but think of
the consequences of such a course. Ra
tional thought will lead you to seek the
society of your superiors and you must
improve by the association. A benevo
lent use of your example and influence
for the elevation of your inferiors is a
noble thing; even the most depraved
are not beyond such help. But the
young man of impressible character,
must; at least think, and beware lest
he fall himself a victim. Think before
you touch the wine ; see its effects up
on thousands, and that youare no strong
er than they were in their youth. Think
before you allow angry passions to over
come your reason; it is thus that mur
derers are made. Think before, in a
dark hour of temptation, lest you become
a thief. Think well ere a lie or an oath
passes your lips; for of pure speech only
can merit respect. Ah ! think ou
things true and lovely, and of good re
port and that there may be better men
and happier women in the world.

A Man found Dead on the State
Road.
A man by the name of Dunaway was
found about 111 o’clock Saturday night,
just be} r ond the Rolling Mill, terribly
mangled and dead. The 10£ o’clock
passenger train for Chattanooga had
passed over him, crushing his limbs and
body fearfully. The general opinion ot
his friends and neighbors is that he was
foully dealt with, and placed on the j
track afterwards. He was a hand at ,
the Rolling Mill, and was not addicted
to drinking, and one gentleman who saw
him but a little while before says he
was not at all intoxicated. He was ;
about twenty-one years of age, and was j
a hard worker and thrifty man. He
lived with and supported a widowed
mother, and bore a good character.
The engineer of the outward bound
train knew nothing of it, and every cir
cumstance points to a dark and bloody
murder previous to the approach of the
train.
Two old negroes, who live near by,
state that they heard a considerable row ;
just before his body was found.
Detectives are at work in that neigh
borhood. and strong hopes are enter
tained of ferreting out the murderers, if
this is one. — Atlanta. Sun.
Romance in
For some time’ a gentleman of some

the Kimball House, with his wife, who
is a beautiful blonde, of some nineteen
summers, of great personal beauty and
attractions. The husband is reputed to
be possessed of wealth, and given
to dissipation, lie is said to have been
a widower with several children, and to
have married the young lady for her
beauty. Several nights agj, it is re
ported, that the cry of “ murder ” was ;
heard to proceed from the room of this
couple. Several persons rushed in and :
found the husband in demoniac rage
beating hi? wife with his boot heel.
It is said that she was terribly bruised
up. and that he was in the hahit oL
maltreating l\er in this style. Tuesday
morning he, it is said, in the presence ot
some of the servants, told his wife that,
; that night ** he would give her h—ll.”
Fearing that in a moment of drunken
frenzy he would inflict a serious injury
upon her, the wife, after seeking the
| counsel of an eminent lawyer, and ap
plying for a divorce, left on the 5:15 i\
\i., train on the Georgio road for Au
gusta.
The husband, discovering that she had
gone to Augusta, telegraphed to the
chief of police of Augusta, to arrest
I her and keep her at the Planters’ hotel
i until his arrival. Tuesday night he at
tempted to commit suicide by shooting
himself with a pistol, but was prevented
' from doing so. lie left yesterday morn

of the great upper lakes form a river
three fourths of a mile in width, and
then being suddenly contracted, plunges
over the rocks in columns to the depth
of 125 feet.
To Develop Talent.
* Place a man in a position that will
fearfully tax him and try him, a posi
tion that will often bring the blush to his
cheek and the sweat to his brow, a po
sition that will overmaster him at the
times, and cause him to rack his brain
for resources. Place him in a position
like this. Rut every time he trips goes
to his rescue; go not with words of
blame or censure, but go with manful
words of encouragement look him boldly
in the eye and speak with soul and em
phasis. This is the way to make a man
of a boy and a giant of a man. • If a
man has pluck and talent, no matter
whether he ever filled a given position
or not put him in it, if worthy, and he
will soon not only fill it, but outgrow it. ■
But put none in a position with a faint
heart. This is the way to kill him.—
Put him in grandly with most unmis
takable confidence. Drop no caveats, i
but boldly point the way, and then stand
by with the will and countenance of a j
true friend. Thus try twenty men.
such as I have named and nineteen will
succeed. — Christian Union.
