preparation, but It proved failure, after involving
the State in much expense. The construction of
these roads must be great benefit TO the upper
sections of Georgia. The market of the Cherokee
counties is either Charleston, Savannah, or Mobile,
from 800 TO 500 miles distant Now by CARRYING
their produce to Macon or Covington, the distance
is shortened by 200 miles. Many Of these coun-
tics are very productive and are filling up with
hardy and industrious population
The section of country known MS the Cherokee,
including all that part of Georgia northwest Of the
Chatahoochee, except the counties of Habersham
aud Roum, is comparatively new, very few settle
ments being made there previous to the expulsion
OF the Indians, about the year 1882. But since
that period its settlement has been most rapid

Grafton at Dolonega in Pauding county. This part
of the State gives heavy vote, and has a decided
influence in the State elections. The great Alega-
ny range of mountains passes through this country.
They are not much elevated above the common
level Of the surrounding count y, but afford beau

Like all the interior and mountainous districts of

Each man is laborer tilling the land with his own

hardly persuade himself that he was in q Southern
State. This is not cotton growing region, altho'
small quantity Is maze III nearly all the counties.
On this the people depend principally, for the pur-
chase of family necessaries, and for money TO pay
their taxes which together with the wool from their
sheep furnish their clothing. The cotton from this
region. last winter, was burey worth carrying to
market. The producer, sending a load to Column
bus, Macon or Augusta and selling it at four cents
per pound. the wagner taking his provisions with
him. and camping at night under the cover of his
wagon, could scarcely realize two cents per pound
for it. Large crops of corn and wheat are raised
here; corn, even in the vicinity of the Chatahoo-
chez, could be purchased, last winter for one dol
lar per barrel of five bushels, and further back in
the country could be obtained for a mere song
Wheat brought from thrty-seven to fifty cents per

ORANGE COUNTY.

The Polk papers are making themselves exceed
ingIy happy the result Of the last election in
tins county. They have right to rejoice, nor can
the Wings feel disposed to censure them for their
eXaaton.
Every Intelligent Wing, however, understands
that it is to the Liberty party the democrats"
are and have been indebted for their success since
1910. The towns of Randolph, Brookfeld, Tun-
bridge, and WillianstoHn II, aside from this organi-
zaion, are decidedly ivhig towns, but their inhu-
ence, this year in all of them, and in all except
Tunbrldge for the greater share of the time has
heen worse than nufed by the action of the LIB
erty party. The election Of Mr.. Polk, by these
means, has encouraged the " democratic" leaders
of this faction to renewed eXertion, and we may
expect to be used up by them, just so long as the
people can be persuaded that men are Irresponsible
tIr the consequences Of their conduct.

MEDICAL CIRCULAR.
To The Medical Profession in Vermont.

4 o me shtutCuG IFOJeSStOH ~ ' 6WOW.
Experience has abundantly established the po-
sition that any sub Jet which requires investigation
for its promotion, is much more successfully adj
vanced by associated action, than by individual ex-
ertion, unaided by kindred associations. In fact,
in every department of life, mind excites mind,
and this naturally increases individual advance
ment. This fact is demonstrated by the cultivation
of every species of Science, Literature or Profess
sion.
Hence, we find that wherever science, literature
or any profession has been promoted in any con-
siderable degree, there has almost invariably been
a contemporaneous action of individuals and or
gained associations. And it is, probably, an I'M
questionable fact that no profession has received
more aid or derived more benefit from organized
action than the medical. This arises from the cir
cumstance that in the determination Of many prac-
teal questions, difficulties and obstacles are often
presented which require for their solution keen
perception, sound judgment, and collateral and d.
rect acquisitions, which may be equalled, certainly
not eXcelled by any profession
1t is on this account, and to promote generous
and kind feelings among the faculty, that in almost
every important District or City, soc cites have
been formed for mutual aid aud improvement
Nearly all the States in our Union have medical
societies, which generally are well sustained.
In Vermont, it is TO be regretted, these medical
associations, although they have been beneficial to
the profession and to the public, have not been SO
useful as it is desirable This unfortunate delin-
quency we are conscious does not arise from any
want of liberality, talents practical requirements
of the faculty. 1t evidently in measure originates
from an inattention to the subject-the inconven-
fence arising from the scattered situation of the
practitioners attending the State and County meet
ngs. This condition of the profession tends great
y to diminish lis responsibility, elevation and use
fitness. BY attendance on our regular medical
meetings, facts and principles are elected Of an

MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE

The only positive news Of Importance is, that
Mexico will not formally declare war against the
United States, but she will endeavor to reconquer
Texas. For the last week we have had the old ru-
mors of the advance of portions of the Mexican
army, and the old reply that these troops are few in
number, rugged, hungry, dirty, and unpaid.

o. The editor Of the Bellows Falls Gazette
does not know quite so much about Cheshire stock
as some other folks and when he undertakes to
tell what zoe know about it., we cannot do less than
hint to him that we understand that matter little
better than any body else can. We know that the
effect of the arrangement" with the Central road
was to raise the value of Cheshire stock and we
knoir, also, that this advance was sustained until
the opponents of that rangement began to make
war upon it. These two facts we are as sure Of as
of the faculties necessary to learn any sim
pie matters of fact. If the Gazette wishes to know
why that advance was not maintained, we advise
him to 90 to dsinterested and intelligent BostoD-
ans for information: he will find prominent rea-
in the fact that constant efforts have been put
forth to break up that arrangement and to alarm
the Cheshire stockholders. Our advice to the Ga
zette is, to let the arrangement" and the Central
road alone: neither are to be defeated by the clam
ors either of interested or ignorant enemies; and
fortunate it is for the Cheshire road that it is So
Least of all should Bellows Falls complain, since
she is Of road, at least, and if Mount Ilol
| ly ever is overcome, she may have two roads. We
say may, as we understand that part of the sub
scrptons to the Rutland route depend upon its 60
ing down Black River, and another part down Will
Jams River: of course both roads will not be built,
and the ultimate position of Bellows Falls is prob
lematcal so far as the Rutland road is concerned.

]. C. GorGH--M YsTERY.- Nearly fortnight
ago, Mr.. Cough, who is a distinguished temperance
lecturer, and reformed inebriate, suddenly disap
peared from his boarding house in New York. For
a week the city was highly excited fears of foul
play were universally entertained, and reward
was offered for his discovery. He was found at
the end Of that time, entirely Frustrated and his
life in danger From all that has yet been learned
it seems that he drank glass of soda water which
had been drugged with opium and either from the
excitement of opium or from force, it is supposed
that he had drank so large quantities of liquor
to endanger his life. Whether this is the result
of a conspiracy among the rummies, or Of his own
relapse into intempcrance, is the mystery. 1t is
not long since we heard Mr.. Cough lecture, and he
appeared to be not only an earnest, eloquent and
effective speaker but thoroughly reformed and
pous man. and we think he has been the victim of
crime hardly less in enormty than murder itself.
