The Macon, Ca, Telegraph and
Messenger has the following in
regard to the legal valuation of
real estate in Georgia. The Tele-
graph says:
We saw a gentleman try to
borrow 300 yesterday on $40, 900
worth of real estate, offeriag at
the rate of 80 per cent a year for
the money for 60 days, but it was
no go. Mr.. Money Lender told
him that he couldn't get it on ten
million dollars worth of property.
Such was the melancholy fact.
Under the present carpet-bag laws
OF Georgia, real estate has no le-
gal valuation, almost any shrewd
man can hold all that obOut eigh,
teen of our best counties are
worth.

Our merchants and business
men throughout this parish are
not fully alive to the value of
printers ink. Our interprising
merchants differ materially with
the most successful business men
both in this continent and in Eu
rope. These men never invest
their money in Improbable specu-
lation, nor do they pay out any
without receiving its equivalent.
We find such as these large ad-
vertisers, and from long expert
ence they know that during the
year they will be paid tenfold the
cost of advertising. In a country
town like this, many think they
are already too well known, and
have already too many customers.
Just so, and were they to adver.
tise in paper which goes to
every individual who las commu-
nication directly with their town,
they wonld be better and more
favorably known, and perhaps,
have not too many customers. but
far greater number Of desirable
patrons.- Fsliciana Ledger.

THE CoTToN CRoP.--The Selma
Times, speaking of the incoming
cotton crop, says; eve have our
own opinion based upon what we
have seen of the crops in the States
of Georgia, Mississippi, TeHnes
see and Alabama. and what infor.
nation we have been able to CLEAN
from our exchanges of the cotton
States. We do not believe that
the present crop will reach two
and a half millions bales. The
crop in this State is poorer than
it has been for years; and the
combination of disasters is being
daily added to. These disasters
are general throughout the South
and where the cotton is to come
from in order to give as the az
gregate three and a half, OF ever
three millions of bales, for thu
cotton crep of 1871, we do no

Valuable Mineral Deposits in
Nevada.

We find the following in regard
to the borax mines OF this State in
the market report OF the Sacra-
mento UnioR:
Letters of inquiry: continue to
reach US from. Great Britain re-
speeding the probable supply of
crude. boraE- from the recently
discovered mines near Fish Lake,
in the State of Nevada. We have
answered applicants by stating
that the supply is inexhaastible,
and could be furnished here at a
profit for five cents per pound. A
refined Article of the same, per-
feetly pure, is offered at twenty
FIVE cents. A year or two, ago
Rorax Lake, in our OWL State,
promised "a large product, but the
'freezing-Out game, Sc common in
California mining operations,
eEippled all work, and for months
past no supplies have been mar
keted from that source, and we
| fear that Nevada will in the future,
rather than California, feed the
markets of the world with this
important article of commerce."
Not only are there extensive de
posits of borax to be found in this
State, but lakes and fields of salt
and carbonate Of soda that are
absolutely ineXhausrible. Almost
daily we sea loads of carbonate OF
soda brought to this town from
deposits at no great distance to
the eastward, in the vicinity oil
Ragtown, which is of a snowy
whiteness, and does not show the
slightest stain of any color, mol
the least speck of dirt or any for
eign substance. As fast as a sta
tum of this soda is removed, an
other is formed. There are hun
dreds, if not thousands, of soda
deposits in the State, but we see
none so pure as from the one men
toned above. In appearance the
soda, as brought from the deposit
is quite as pure as that sold in oul
: grocery and provision stores fol
family use. In Humboldt county
there are immense deposits o.

posits of alum, which mineral i:

we find an,article- or two advis-
ing young men and ether peo-
pie to 60 to work, Again, we !

corning the dignity of labor
In our opinion, the writing of
such articles is all labor spent
i'm vain. Our people car neith>
OF be persuaded nor forced to
labor. The only plan is, to
inveigle them into it. These
two words "work" and "labor''
ought to be stricken ont of
our language, because of the
great injury they infict on the
community. We have known
for a long time the injurious
effect of their use, nevertheless.
we often catch ourselves at-
tempting to hire some one to-
do us a Job Of work But
we are getting cautious, and
most generally approach, one
on that subject in an insidious
way. We will propose, for in
stance to. give one business"
or to get him to. "help" lis,
never to work for us il we have
our wits about us.
1t is queer what a vast deal
of pure labor and sweat can be
surreptitiously gotten ont of
the generality of the human
family. A Jew peddler, for il-
stance, will tote a bundred
pound. pack twenty miles a
day in midsummer, and be per-
fectly confident, all the while,
that he. is only transactirg
business" Again. we have
known young men to, go into
mercantile business. as clerks
who stood at the cosrt ter and
desk from daylight until nine
O'Clock at night for every day
in the week, Sunday not ex,
cepted, and yet had no con
ception that they were labor,
ing. The peddler and the
clerk are very much like Pat
who wrote to his friends il
the old country, that he wa!
getting a dollar a day 'fol
doing just nothing at alls JUS
for carrying the brick and NOR
tar up to a gentleman on ;

the work."
Another way inveigling worl
out of one, is to get it in the
shape Of fun-as by log roll

cotton pickings and cuttings
