It is a matter of congratulation that

For my<elf. let me invoke your kind

For you. gentlemen, permit me to in

control men bound together by ties that
link brother to brother. As represent

emblazoned upon its crest for more than

During the ;ib>enec of the committee,
i fi. Ik Livingston, of Newton, moved
that a committee of one from each con
gressional district be appointed, to
whom shall be referred the matter of
the Contesting delegates from Fulton
county, which motion prevailed.

On motion of W. W. Clarke, (he
rules of the House of Representatives,
were ad iptcd for the government of the 1
Convention.
On motion, the Convention took a re
cess until 3 o’clock.
A FT Eli NOON' SESSION.
The Convention met according to ad
j ournmerit, at 3 o’clock yesterday. The
committee to which was referred the
matter of the contesting delegation from
Fulton county offered the following re
port :
M herens, the evidence in the con
tested case from Fulton is conflicting
and contused, and for the purpose of
preserving party unity and harmony, it
is recommended that both oelegations
be admitted to scats in this Convention,
and that the united delegation cast the
vote in Hits Convention.
Major W. E Simmons, of Gwinnett,
offered the follow ing as a substitute :
W herons, The delegation of Fulton,
composed of R. J. Covyart. J. Thomas*
B. 11. l-lill, 1L C. Mitchell, E. S. Ray
and E. P. Howell, was elected by a con
vention of the Democratic party of said
c omfy, assembled by authority of a
call by the Executive Committee of the
P'"ty tbr which said call was published
m b th the Democratic papers of At
l-.nta fa- the space of three weeks; and
\\ liereas, ’i here is n > evidence that
any frtud was practiced in tlm selection
of said delegates, or intimidation used
to prevent full, fair and free expression
us tlie choice of the Democracy of said
county for representation in thi Con
vention, therefore,
| Unsolved, That said delegates are
properly entitled to represent the De
| itiocracy of Fulton irt this ('on vent ion.
| and that they be permitted to take their
j seats as the legitimate representatives of
said c ur.ty. *
| lion. A..than Pass, one of the coin
mittec, stated that while he believed,
from the evidence that the delegates
elected on the loth wore the proper del
egates, iur the sake of harmony, he ac
quiesced in the report.
Mr. McKibbiu, of Putts,sympathized
with the last delegates, yet he did not
wash to establish a preoed nt by admit
ting hot it delegates. Tile last delegates
were nuti-G reeley, and sgt was he; yet
he could not jeopardize Democratic har
mony and unity by admitting them.
Major Simmons said in support of
his resolutions that he sjunpathised with
the hist elected delegates, but the Con
vention must repudiate this spirit of
disorganization. The first delegates
were elected by a convention called bv
the only authority authorized to speak
i t - the Democracy of Fulton county.
Garnett McMillan supported the re
port of the committee, and prop sod to
amend by striking out the clause :£ that
the united delegation sh uld cast the
vote of the county.” and inserting that
on all questions where the Fulton county
delegation had a controlling vote that
the c nventi. n should then decide which
delegation should cast the vote.” This
was subsequently withdrawn.
Hon. Robert Toombs called the pre
vious question. Ihe call was sustained
by yetis 2U*>, nays 1)2.

[from the Standard \ Express.
Glkn Holly, Georgia, )
May 28th, 1872. )
On the 10th inst , one o’clock, i*. m .
after the adjournment of the railroad
meeting at Cartersville. Called by me
lor the citizens of the town to review
and consider a proposition made to
them by the Superintendent of the Air
Line Railroad, to build n road from
Gainesville to Cartersville, we started
with horse, buggy and servant to go
through the mountain region north and
east of us.
1 lie object was to see the country as
it now is. consider its resources, its
adaptation to railroads, and to mark the
changes made in thirty years’time.when
we passed through it..
W e stopped the first night with Mr.
Kamsaur, near Fairmount. Thence we
proceeded to Talking lloek, to Ellijay.
to 31 organ toil, to Hlairsville and to lli
wassec. 1 hence a short distance into
Clay county, North Carolina. Return
ing to Iliwassce, we crossed the Rlue
Ridge at a Kunicoy Turnpike, and
passed on to Cleveland. White county,
i hence passed to Leathers’ Ford, by
Frcg Town and Canton, to Etowah.
Georgia.
The country from Cartersville to Fair
mount, 21 miles—formerly Cass, now
Ru tow and Gordon counties—is a good
agricultural region, with a large pro
portion of good land, and several of the
best farms in this country. Tt lies J
mainly in valley lands, dividing the wa
ters of Coosawattec and Etowah rivers
There are no large bodies of minerals
on this line of travel, and the forest pro
ducts are not interesting.
From Fail-mount to Talking Rock we
pass over a mountain ridge and hilly
country, with many high hillsides, un
occupied, heavily set with fine forest
growth. The lands are well adapted to
clover, grass and wheat, with many
small bodies of meadow lands, hut with
little indications of minerals in large
supply.
in exploring these hills twenty years
ago, we were attracted by good indica
tions of piumbngo.
()u Talking Rock there is valuable wa
ter power; and it is made available for
a valuable cotton mill.
After crossing Talking Rock, we find
but little of interest until we get into
the v»Hoy of Ellijay river • nd its trib
utaries.
Along this valley, to the village of
Ellijay, and on the route to Morgauton.
Rlairsville, and Iliwassce, in Towns
county, we have a country which, being
seen when passed with railroad speed,
presents a scene o f ‘ enchantment. The
passenger would be charmed by the
lengthened c uirse of bottom lands habit
ually opening before him and closing
behind him. coursing to suit the clear
and quiet streams that water, and the
impending, jutting mountains that look
down upon them.
"i lie slow, 1.-. b >i ; iuu.s jog trot of a
! horse and buggy tires the traveller.how
ever. so as to cause an occasional un
pleasantness. And it is sad but true to
tell, that thirty years since first we trav
ersed these valleys, have produced a
great change in the fertility and pro
ductiveness of these beautiful lands.—
A careless and reckless system of agri
culture uas caused it, and in many parts
has impoverished the lands, until many
persons are now anxious to leave, be
cause bread is scarce and money hard to
get. Wheat, it is said, docs not do well.
The growth of clover and grasses, with
lime and gypsum, and just farming arc
the remedies. They will make this
country better than it ever was.
This is a great fruit region. Apple
arc not so plenty. Peaches very full in
bearing this year. From the viiWryj'

places, deserted.
On the cast side of the I> lUe Kidge. ,
by Cleveland, White county, through
Lumpkin, Habersham, Dawson and
Cherokee along the valley of the Kto
wah, the scene changes. It is not so
pictures*uie and beautiful, but more
productive, and generally better culti- |
vated. This section, however, is greatly
behind as an agricultural country.
The people, as seen in passing, arc a
grand race, in this country, especially
the females —their physical development
is remarkably good.
Iron ore. copper and gold arc found
in this valley, and iron is made by
bloomcries of high quality; but the ore
is not so abundant as we supposed.—
Cold mines have been worked exten
sively in Gilmer and Fannin. In Towns
county, in many localities, Corundum
is found in loose specimens on the sur
face. But as yet no vein orstrata, or
large deposit is known.
Iron ore, with gold in successive lo
calities, exists from Narcoocheo S alloy.
Habersham countv. down to Cartelsviile.
and to the Alabama line. And this
constitutes the great mineral rog'n u of
| Georgia.
A railroad would produce a wonder
ful result in this country. ft would
' pay the State w li to build one hundred
miios t.i’ r .ihvad through these coun
ties, eon;: eting with the Western and
Atlantic 11 .11 road.
Two lines of railroad are indicated
by the n c-'-Gt: < u .j interests of this
I region, and authorized by its topogra
phy : One from Towns county, by
Rlairsville, Morgantown and Eiij iy. to
Calhoun or Dalton ; the other from 11.-t
--bun Gap, by Xarconehec. Cleveland and
the Etowah Valley, to Cartersville.
j Those who understand the system of
railroads, now organized, will appreci
ate what we now say, to wit :
First, we aie dependent on combina
tions. of interest and power, of South
j eru cities and railroad nioii >polios, or
on similar interest, North and West.
Savannah and Macon, Augusta.
Clrarleston and Atlanta, with the Cen
tral. the Georgia and the Western
Atlantic Railroads, are the Southern
power, and our denpcndetiec here.
The phtntimj interrd is a ju>tr>r of it
x'tf, but cannot be combined for any
purpose, if it could, it might build
railroads or move mountains.
We have no money power in this see
tion. The Pennsylvania Central, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Cos., and Ralti
more atidjDliio Railroad, with Philadel
phia. New York and Daltimore, are the
Northern powers, competent to do any
thing they propose.
The cities of Cincinnati, St. Louis,
Louisville and Nashville arc the Western
powers, it th ve be any. These are
subsidiary to the Northern.
1 here is no prospect of any res'-rt to
Southern power. This will appear by
considering the following proposition :
The contest is now waging between
the Southern and the Northern powers,
to decide who shall carry the Southern
products aud the through frcitjhts. The
former means, cotton, and the latter
means, freights'from the I‘ticijic. And
what shall be their destination.
The grand movement of the Northern
power now is, to run their trains down
into the cotton region, by as many lines
as needed, carry the merchandize for
the South, and take the cotton and
wheat without breaking bulk, and dis
charge them in Daltimore, Philadelphia
and New York. To do this, that power
must hare railroads through this coun
try, as we arc between them and cotton
Their interests, therefore, are to build
these roads, and it is our interest to have
them built, for local benefit. Coming
down South, with trains for cotton,
these Northern powers tap the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and thereby bring
their through freight from California bv
Southern roads to their cities, and never
break bulk. And, to be sure of trans
portation for t '{Jf. the. Northern power
has already three different lines. There
is no limit to the means of this power.
On the other hand, the Southern
power lias no interest in building rail
roads through this region, looking North,
since every dollar they invest in that
aids their c mpetitor.
And, as to means, they find use for
all they have and can get to start lines
of ships from Southern ports direct to
Kurope, taking their freights from
through cars, discharged on vessels, and
carried direct to Hurope, and give the
Northern cities the go-by. This is their
fearful alternative.
Hence we have no prospect of rail
roads here going east, by depending on
tlie Southern power. Our dependence
is on that of the North, because it is in
the channel of their interest.
