The Chattahoochee Dried Up.-The
Columbus (Ga.) Times says the Chatta-
hoochee is dried up to the depth and
width of an ordinary creek
AS far up as the eye can reach there
is nothing but barren lodges of rocks,
some of which have probably not been
visible before in the memory of the
present generation. The melody of
the rushing torrents, that usually play
in such romantic grandeur along this
part of our beautiful river, is hushed
and the cadance of its wild music no,
longer lulls us to repose at nightfall.
1t is well worth q visit to behold the
woPderfull change that has como over
the spirit of our rivers dreams in the
last few months. One so disposed can
walk along the bed of the river for
miles. The spectacle is sad one, and
renninds US that our section is not the
only part of country that has suffered
from the dreadful effects of the great
drouth of 1860.

The Gold Diggings.-From the
Halifax Journal we gather the following
particulars Of the gold diggings at
Tangier:
The Hon. Provincial Secretary, &C.
ico1npanied by Professor How of Wind
son, has visited the gold diggings at
Tangier, for the purpose of making an
investigation on the spot. In his report
to the Lieutenant Governor he says:
We spent half a day at the mines,
and in that time had ample opportu-
mites to ascertain their real character.
Though gold in small quantities has
been found there, and though few
grains were discovered in the quartz,
washed out of the soil IN our presence,
yet the quantities are so intinitesimal,
and so difficult to obtain that, as at
present advised, Professor How and
myself have no hesitation in reporting
to your excelloncy, that, for all prac-
teal purposes, tho Tangier diggings
are utterly valueless; and unless cor
rect information is speedily circulated,
will be Il delusion and snare to the
industry of the country.
We could not discover among the
hundred men that we found at the
mines, some of whom had been there
week, as much gold as would make a
sovereign. Another hundred men arriv-
ed before we left, and we met sixty
going in as we came out [ would not,
from the best information [ can obtain,
give a doubloon for the whole results
of their joint labors. Richer strata may
be discovered at greater depths, and
goId-bearing quartz in lodges or veins,
may yet be found in some other parts
of the country; but neither from the
geological aspects of what we saw, or
from the results of the operations yet
conducted, would we advise any indus
trious man to abandon any other en-
ployment to seek for the lowest rate of
wages in the wilderness of Tangier.

The Public Printing Job.-The
House of Representatives at the last
session, elected Thomas II. Ford prin-
ter. 1t was a political job, arranged
for the benefit of clique of party cor
morants. Ford was no printer, and
does not own type. The election was
effected by an agreement to devide the
spoils. Ford was to have per centage
of the profts-twenty per cent. we be-
lieve-forhis share; and the remainder
was to be distributed in various proper
tions, among the designated beneficial
ries. But there is a terrible quarrel
among the spoils-men. Ford has sold
out, or assigned; one of the other
parties has sued for his share and two
Others have got out injunctions against
the unhappy Ford, who is said in tho
papers, to be suffering under a terrible
disease" The Cincinnati Commercial
hints that the most terrible disease
which inticts him is the violence of the
of his associates for division of the
plumber.

PoIsoys IN LIQUoRs. 49, The extensive
adulteration of liquors offered in the
market as pure, and the introduction of
poiscnousingredents into those which are
pronounced heathful, may well excite
alarm and call for the attention of our
Legislature. Why there should be so
much brain fever, delirium tremens, and
so much sudden death among our young
men who indulge at the bar, cannot be
explained upon any common principles.
An expert chemist of this city bought of
an importer a bottle Of what was called
genuine champagne. Analyzqtion proved
it TO contain one quarter Of an ounce Of

The same gentleman analysed sixteen
samples of wines - Port Sherry and

The CONTESTED SEATS IN CONGRESS.
AS WE ExpEcTED.-A letter to the BuHfa-
10 4duertiser says:
s'The seat of Mr.. Sickles will be award
ed to Mr.. Williamson, Mr.. Cooper's to
Mr.. Howard, and Mr.. Barrett's to Mr..
Blair. Mr.. Anderson, Mr. Winter Davis,
Mr.. Morriion Harris, Americans, will be
retained in their seats in spite of the
energies and efforts of their democratic
contestants. So the political wind seems
to be blowing, at all events"
We suppose this is by authority, and
indicates the foregone conclusion of the
black-republicans. Messrs. Anderson and
Winter Davis earned their seats by voting
for a black-republican Speaker and House
printer, and Messrs. Howard, Blair, and
Williamson are to be let in solely be-
cause they are "wanted" Mr.. Frank
Blair has taken no notice of the liberal
proposition of Mr.. Barrett to submit the
question to the arbitration of Blair's own
friends, probably because, being assured
of an unfair decision in his favor, he does
not care to risk fair one, which would
be against him. Mr.. Cooper will be
turned out in consequence of the refusal
of the House to allow him time to take
testimony, that body thus violating the
plain rule of law that no person shall take
advantage of his own wrong.--Constitw-
ton.

A Small Way to Become Notorious,

1t has become q fashion among our
small Congressman to work themselves
into a momcntary notoriety by some vio-
lence of language upon the floor, designed
to rouse up some opponent as hot headed
as themselves, and when retaliated upon,
to have a scene that will make gossip for
newspaper writer's, and themselves, in
their own estimation, three days wonder
to all the country. These exhibitions,
we believe, at the North, are called
"back- bone" at the South olivalry."
We have not very high regard for
either quality as we see it exhibited. 1t
is not only pretty small, but pretty mean
business, for the representatives Of this
great Nation, spending the time and
money of their constituents in stirring up
each others bad blood, and humbugging
their constituents with the idea that they
are the insulted parties through their
honorable representatives. These valor-
Gus exhibitions will cure themselves
sooner than they can be cured by retalia-
ton.
The last case Of "hcroism in the great
cause of human freedom" is that of a
Mr.. Potter, who, it is now found out for
the first time, has represented for several
years the State of Wisconsin, and wig
Cling under the sense Of his obscurity,
determines to make desperate push for
notoriety, and niche among the Omar
tyrs" of the black republican party. The
brilliant effort commenced by the back
honey" Potter interloping into the report
of little scene over Mr.. Loveioy on
Wednesday, some valorous words which
he did not say on that occasion. On the
next day, when the report so changed
was published, the waspy Pryor, Of Vir-
einia, set himself on to the obscure MEM
Der from Wisconsin. Back bone" was
stiff this time, and chivalry" rampant.
What noble spectacle to an admiring
country! Pryor challenges Potter
Potter accepts, and chooses bowic-knives
as the weapons. Pryor refused to fight
with bowie-knives, on the ground that
such a proceeding would be barbarous in
the extreme. Col. Lander, the second Of
Mr.. Potter, offered to take the place Of
his principal, and to fight Pryor with his
own weapons but the latter very pru-
IDENTIFY declined to accept the challenge.
And here the matter ends. If back
bone" or " ohivalry" have made anything,
we presume the admirers of these quail
ties will duly post it to the credit of their
valorous, and honorable and faithful rep.
rcsentatives, and duly herald it to the
gaping world.-State Journal
