FROM CHEROKEE.
CHEROKEE Co, Ga, July LIST. =

CHEROKEE Co., GA, July lst. 20.
Editor Gainesville EzprcSS-Suffer
mo through the columns of your paper,
to call the attention of the outside world,
to the vast amount of minerals imbed-
ded in the hills of this section of our
State. Much has been said on the re-
sources of the State. Commissioners
have been appointed and sent to solve it;
Immigration Excursion Parties have
gone out for the purpose of invcstigat-
ing the mineral wealth of the State, and
to select now routes for Railroads, &C.,
but up to the present time, little or no
attention has been given to North Geor-
gia, the place above all others in
the State Astounding in minerals. These
minerals, if properly developed, would
do more to enhance tho interest of the
State, than all the Commissioners ever
sent. 1t would soon bring labor and
capital into our midst. This section of
the State has more natural advantages
than any country in my knowledge
From the earliest history of the State,
gold has been found in Lumpkin, Gilmcr,
Cherokee, and other Counties, and in
this part of the State, in quantity and
quality that amply repaid the industri-
Gus miner. Silver and black lead, arc
found in many places. On Long Swamp
and Sharp Mountain Greeks, in Pickens
County, and for miles North of that
point, Marble of the finest quality, is
found in largo quantities. Extensive
beds of the finest Iron are found for a
distance of near hundred miles, run
ming North from your town, through a
section of country, too, the water-power
of which cannot be surpassed in the
State; scarcely in any other.
Quarries of Slate and Marble have
recently been discovered on Shoal Creek
in this county, that promise a rich in
vcstment for the capitalist. We have
the opinion Of good miners, that Copper
exists in this county equal to that in
Ducktown, in richness, and very extern
sivc in quantity. We have productive
lands, healthy climate, and as good,
pure water, as ever gushcd from the
Mountains side.
In short, this section has every fra
cility to make it ono of the finest man
ufacturing, Mining and Agricultural re-
gions in the South country as dcsir-
able as any under the sun, if prop
erIy developed. Then what We need is
men, LIVING MBN, with capital that will
build Railroads, erect manufactures,
&C., &c.

A laundl ess gives the following recipe
for doing up shirt bosoms: Take two
ounces of fine white gum arabic powder,
put it into pitcher and pour on pint
or more of water, and then having COW
cred it, let it stand all night. In the
morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into clean bottle, cork it and keep it
for use. A tablespoonful of gum water
stirred into pint of starch made in the
usual manner, will give to lawns either
white or printed, a look of newnsss
when nothing else can restore them, af-
ter they have been washed.

-Disraeli married his wife in 1889,
and her ample means raised him above
pecuniary embarrassment, and her inau-
ence has greatly contributed to his subsc-
quent renown. He a!ludcs to her in the
dedication of one of his works as "per-
feet wife," Some years ago ho declined
the offer of peerage, but requested that
the honor might be conferred upon his
wife, which was done. An anecdote is
related of this lady, which may not be
new to all our readers, but which is of
some special interest now that Lothian"
is before the public. On one occasion
when Disraeli was to deliver an elabor-
ate address on some important subject,
his wife accompanied him in her CARR
age to the gateway of the House of COM
mons. He babe her good bye in tho
vehicle, and, stepping out flung the door
to behind him. Her fingers were in the
hinge, and flesh and bone werc crushed
to jelly. The pain was terrible, but
depressing even a groan until he was out
of sight and hearing, lest the accident
might discompose the thoughts of the orr
ator, and unfit him for his task, she or
dercd the coachman to drive to q SUI
geon's office, and there submitted to q
severe operation. This incident gives
some idea of the character of the lady,
and explains the influence she has al
ways exercised upon her husband.

FLY TIME.-A Connecticut paper
feelingly remarks:
when Moses got up flies to bother
the people of Egypt his head was level
They arc little the meanest thing
known to science. Take at Sunday af-
ternoon and between six and eight
o'clock in the morning, when one is try
ing to get nap, and have peryerse, per-
sistent, pcrtinacious, Ipestiferous, pusiI-
luminous fly come at you thousand and
nineteen times in succession, is enough
to make Pharoah let go, not only his
Jews but his meerschaum pipe. A boar
der at ono of our hotels who was subiec-
ted to this pls que of flies, woke up the
other morning, with the bed mattress
twisted round his neck and tied in a
double bow knot. We calculated that
we rolled over SO many times this morn
ing that if the same number of revolu-
tions were given to a mustard seed it
would roll to Alaska and back again.

las THE TwIG rs BENT THE TREE
rs INCLINED,

We often hear mothers wondering
why their daughters are so insolcnt, or
so ignorant of household matters, or so
careless in their habits. They complain,
and scold, and fret overit, but they make
no attempt to teach them any better.
The fault lies with mothers themselves /;
instead Of training their girls to habits Of
industry and ncatncss, instead ofinstruc-
ting them in household ways, they have
allowed them to grow up without any
training at all.
Girls are not going to learn these things
Of their own accord, they must be taught
from the time they are old enough to
learn, how to be mild, how to BIO neat
and Industrious. The teaching of them
must be systematic, beginning in their
early years; it will not do to train them
a month, then leave them alone for three
months, TO do as they please.
Education is, after all, the mighty
magician that turns every thing into gold.
Mothers, educate your girls to be neat
and industrious, and you will never have
to complain that they are not neat and
industrious women.
Train them carefully in household ways;
teach them how to make buildings, and
cakes; and pickles, and preserves; show
them how to be tidy about the house,
how to do everything in the neatcst man
ner. Teach them both by precept and
example; it is worth the trouble; for,
instead of having droncs and slatternl
about you, you will have well trainet
and useful help.

Coop News FROM NORTH CAROLINA
From the Wilmington Journal, OIL
Saturday, we copy the following cheer
full report:
From every direction comes cheering
news. The good and true people of the
State have been aroused, and on all
hands are putting forth their strength to
kill out Radicalism in the land. AL
ready have the Republicans become de-
moralized, the front rank of the party
the carpct-baggers-going down from
political view. The late action by the
Governor, in calling ont troops to sup
press disorders that could easily be put
down by strict and impartial admins
tration OF justice, is great confession of
weakness. The people are not intimi-
dated, even by the formidable war-like
preparations Of our gallant Governor.
On the contrary, they have become
aroused, and are everywhere throughout
the land denouncing the corruption and
tyranny of the States Executive. In
August they will express themselves at
the ballot-box, and next winter, with a
Legislature of our own, all tru, and loyal
men, we can defy Holden and his par
tisan friends throughout the State.

HON. DORSEY II. THOMAS.

AS an act Of justice to Hon. Dorsey
B. Thomas, we place his name on the
ticket that heads our column. II
will be remembered that he was twice
elected to Congress, as a Conserva.
tive, and that both times, the COM
mission was given to his defeated
Radical opponent, Arnell, by the
infamous Parson willow. Such
being the case, we think the people
owe him seat in next Congress, and
they owe 1t to themselves as much as
10 him, for whilst he was wronged
they were grossly insulted, through
him, and the best, If not the only,
way to avenge that insult, is to re-
elect him. 1t is an act of justice tc
candidate and voters, and in acknowl.
edgement of this debt, we proffeI
him our humble support. In this,
IA in oil other elections, the inter.
vention Of a Convention is not only
desirable, but absolutely necessary
and we hope steps will be taken to
get up one at some central point, and
thus ward Oft the disintegrating eff
fleets of heated contest between two
worthy representatives of the sam,
party.

Call for n state Convention.

On the second Tuesday in Novem-
Der next, importan elections for Gov
ernOr and members of Congress and
of the State Legislature will be held.
1t is deemed important i'm order to
secure the State from the political
party which had for several years
ruled and almost ruined it, that there
should be unity of action among the
Conservative and Democratic parties
of the State, in the election. The
Executive Committee, appointed by
the State Convention, held in this
city on the 9th day of June, 1868,
have, therefore, for the purpose OF
preserving harmony in our ranks and
promoting unity ofaction In the cleo
ton, resolved to invite a convention
of the Conservative and Democratic
people of the State, to assemble at
the Capitol in this city on Tuesday,
the Thirteenth (13th) Day of Septem-
Der next, at IL o'clock A. NJ. for the
purpose of nominating a candidate
for Governor, and for taking such
other steps as may be deemed neces
sary to secure thorough organization
The several counties of the State are
therefore, requested, on, or before the
first Monday i'm September, to appoint
delegates to that convention. by or

rloatcr from Chcatham.

To the Editors of the Union and American.
AS the time will soon arrive when
we, of Cheatham county, will be
called upon to vote for fioaterial re-
preventative, in the next Legislature,
for the district composed of the coun-
ties of Davidson, Robertson, Mont
gomery and Cheatham, permit ms
through your valuable paper to sug-
gest few thoughts to the other coun-
ties of the district.
In the first place, Davidson has two
Representatives and one Senator of
her own, besides an interest in the
joint Representative.
Robertson and Montgomery have
each Representative and Senator
In connection with Stewart, and an
interest i'm the fiOater.
Therefore the interest OF these coun-
ties Is fully represented and protected,
independently of the fioater, while
Cheatham is left entirely out In the
cold, with no one to specially look af-
ter her interest, with a population
almost, If not quite sufficient, to en-
title her to Representative of her
own.
Now, under all the circumstances,
II occurs to us, that we can with per-
feet right demand that the fioater be
conceded to Cheatham county. For
fourteen years we have unanimously
voted for the man you have presented
US, without asking any questions a.
to where he came from or when our
time would come, but, as dutiful
child, we have submitted quietly to
parental guidance, until now, having
arrived at mans estate, we ought tt
he allowed to choose for ourselves; al.
though, in numerical contest, we
could not maintain this right against
such large odds but, having the ut.
most confidence in the integrity o
the counties from which we claim
our paternity, we doubt not but they
will exercise such degrees of magma
nimity as will do justice to
