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.— Pah. Signed. ‘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.
