Copper . lline* of Lumpkin .
Having a spare day during the past
week, we concluded that we could not
spend our time more pleasantly than to
visit the operations of Messrs Welchel,
Stephens & Cos., and Moore, Stephen
son, & Cos., about eight miles distant
from this place—so sallied forth to see
what we could see. We were not long
in reaching the rude shanty of the for
mer, where we met friend Welchel,
who, after a cordial shake of the hand,
invited us to partake of the hospitali
ties of the same, which we did, with
much comfort to ourselves and appa
rent pleasure to our friend. Dinner
being over, we repaired to the field of
operations —found that this company
had driven a tunnel some fitly feet or
more, going directly across the vein,
the object being mainly to ascertain its
breadth. About eighteen feet of the
tunnel was upon the vein, and, trorti ;
every appearance, bids fair to be of |
great width, as the ore bank or vein '
seemed quite firm.
The ore when first struck was what j
is termed grey oxide; it is now assjim- j
ing a darker shade, and is very rich
pronounced by those familiar \v ith cop- i
per ore, to be worth from 40 to 50 per j
cent. They are getting out quantities i
of the ore, and are building - houses and i
preparing roads, Ac., for active opera
tions. Messrs. Moore, Stephenson A
Cos., are operating on the same lead,
with flattering prospects before them,
and in a short time we opine they will
open a mine that will be of immense
value. All speculation in the minds of
the‘people as to these mines, are now
at rest, all concurring that we have
copper mines in Lumpkin, not inferior
t<> those of Duck town in Tennessee.—

‘Naked Truth.’— The late eccen
tric John Holmes used frequently, in
his addresses to different juries, to ex
plain the meaning of the phrase, ‘na
ked truth,’ by relating the following
fable:
Truth and Falsehood traveling one
warm day, met at a river, and both j
went in to bathe at the same place. —• j
Falsehood coming first out of the wa- j
ter. took his companion’s clothes, and
left his own vile raiment, and then went
<>n his way. Truth coming out of the J
water, sought in vain for his own prop
er dress—disdaining to wear the garb
of Falsehood. Truth started, all na
ked, in pursuit of the thief, but not
being so swift of foot, has never over
taken the fugitive. Ever since he has
been known as ‘naked Truth.’
A man mav be great by chance, but {
never wise nor good without taking ;
pains for it.
Conceit is proud that lie has learn- j
ed so much; wisdom is humble that i
he knows no more.
That was rather a “ fast ” specimen
of juvenile “Young America,” not yet
inducted into trowsers, who said one day
recently, to his father —
Father, come and get me this ap
uple.” There being no signs of com
pliance, the young “ chip ” exclaimed:
“Father, why don’t you start! I
always start when you tell me!
The most important element of suc
cess is economy—economy of money
-and time.
