TIE OUTLooK.--rhe Spectator,
an insurance journal, which has an
immense influence on the applica
ton Of labor and capital, says Of the
prospect for manufacturing interests
in the South
In ten years, manufacturers from
Southern workshops and looms, will
daily find way to the consumer at
the North, and the South will no
longer depend on New England to
supply them with fabrics made from
staple which grows at their very
doors.
Millions of spindles,.. driven by the
limitless water-power Of the South
crn rivers, will be coaselessly whir-
ring and spinning their tiny threads,
and thousands of looms, with their
endless clatter, will be weaving a
web by which the South viii be
clothed without the aid Of Northern
looms.
Yet all this cannot be accomplish
ed by the Sodthron alone-Yankee
capital, controlled by Yankee in
genuity, enterprise and energy,
must aid in bringing about this
change, and each coming year will
bring its full quota of Yankee and
Old World ideas to nfingIeiand assim-
ilate with the growing intelligence
of the masses of the South, thus
binding more closely than ever a
greater people ola greater country
than the world ever saw.

CoTroN MILLs.-The Chronicle
and Sentinel, augusta, Ga.) says
Money cannot be made by plant
ing cotton and buying provisions
But if we make an excess of provis-
ions we have no market for their
sale. What we want are non-pro
ducers fprovisiOns, who are able
to pay for our surplus. We want
manufacturing establishments, car
ried on by white labor.
These would require thousands
of white operatives at home and
from abroad, would furnish markets
for all the corn, meat and other edi-
blcs that theS.surrounding country
could produce. This is the way to
get emigrants if we want them, and
and relieve us from the bondage of
making all cotton to nOlprofit.

markable features. Lying on both
sides of the Rocky Mountains it
covers an area of 10000 square
miles. Rain seldom falls in summer
on the plains, and the rainy seasons
of California are unknown, Crops
are raised almost wholly by irriga-
ton, and the yield of vegetables,
fruits, and grain per acre is larger
than in any of the States. The
pears and grapes rival those of Cali
fornia, while most Of the vegetables
cannot be excclled in size or quail
ty.
The general appearance of the
country is very high and rolling
For a distance of three hundred
miles from the mountains there is a
continual descent eastward.
Thirty miles from the foothills
the altitude ranges from tho 5000
feet above the level of the sea. All
the rivers rise in tho mountains,
and generally the water is wonder
fully pure and clear. During the
summer months, when irrigation is
most needed, the streams arc high
est.
Last July the railroad running
from Denver to Cheyenne was com
pleted, and now almost every train
brings invalids from the East, who
are troubled with weak lungs. The
majority of the patients recover,
but there are some who come too
late.
The soil of the plains is a rich,
gravelly loan, with some sand aud
large quantities of mineral sub
tanccs, which make it the most fer
tile of any on the continent. When
onced plowcd, it remains loose for
long time, and it never bakes.-
Strange as it may seem, the roads
are so good that one may travel in a
light carriage 500 miles with as
much comfort as on the best turn
pike in England.
To one first visiting Colo ado, the
country appears unlike anything he
even dreamed of. A grove on a
river three miles distant seems but
mile away. Ladies, OH alighting
from the cars, resolve to walk up to
the foothills after they have rested
few hours, but great is their sur
prise when they learn that the awful
heights are two and three days's
journey from their door. Old hun
ters from the East shoot at the herd
of antelope the distance Of mile,
when they really think that the ami
mails are only two or three hundred
yards away. For hundreds of miles
there is not weed nor shrub SO
large as mans finger, and yet,
with a little water, one may raise
turnips and beots chat will astoniSh
all the grocers in Washington mar
ket. One may travel a week with
out seeing drop of water, but in a
day he can dig down to water purer
than the purest Croton.

are equally industrious in discharg-

RESOURCES OF CHEROKEE GEoR-
GA.


GA.
Much has been said since the war
in regard TO the resources of Chero-
kee Georgia, and we now propose to
add paragraph to the volume of
information which has been compil-
ed by various writer's on this sub
ject.
Under the title, tCherokee Gcor-
gia," we included all Of that portion
Of Georgia commonly designated by
the name. This portion of the State
includes about % counties and was
obtained from the Cherokee Indians
by the United States Government,
many years ago.
Through this district flow the wa
tiers of the Chattahoochec, the Coo
sa, the Etowah, the Oostanaula. the
Hiawasoe, and their numerous
mountain tributaries. No portion
of the State possess so much water
power as Cherokee Georgia. In
the valleys, wheat, rye, oats, barley,
and Indian corn, hourishes, while on
the mountain slopes are some Of the
best grazing lands in the State
This is the great Grass and Clover
growing portion of Georgia, Some
Of the best butter and cheese in the
State is produced here.
Cherokee Georgia takes tho lead
over any other portion of the State
in mineral wealth. Here are found
Iron, Gold and Coal in abundance
the coal fields of Dade, Walker and
Catoosa, if properly worked, would
furnish the State with Coal for ages
to come. No portion of the South
has gold in creator quantities, or in
finer crude state perhaps than Cher
okeo Georgia, while the iron mines
have been worked with much sue
cess.
Copper may also be found here,
as we'll as diamonds tourmalines and
garnets.
To sum up the resources of this
portion of the State in word, we
will set them down as immense. 1t
only needs capital and energy to
make this portion Of Georgia one of
the finest and most prosperous sec
tions of the South. We hope that
these important items will be seen
in Georgia, and these resources de-
veloped to the advanced prosperity
of Cherokee Georgia.

To Stop BLEEDING.-It is said
that bleeding from a wound on man
or beast may be stopped by a mix
ture ofwheat -four and common salt,
in equal parts, bound on with a
cloth. If the bleeding be profuse,
use large quantity, say from one to
three pints. 1t may be left on for
hours, or even days if necessary
The person who gave us the receipt
says: ''In this manner he saved
the life of horse which was bleed
ing from a wounded artery; the
bleeding ceased in five minutes after
the application.

In the afternoon of the 4th trotting

Chen, came off on the track in this city,
for $50 side. The race was to be three
in FIVE, mile heats, but the Surprise
colt having won the first heat and dis>
tanced his competitor on the second, the
race ended. There was so great diff.
ference in the horses that the race laok-

The excitement grows out of the trial of
Mowers had on James Spenslcy's mead
ow last Saturday, for the premium for 1870
to be awarded by the s. W. Wis. Indus>
trial Association. Perhaps this trial was
attended by as many people as any ever
had in the county, and of course compe-
tition was lively, and dissatisfaction prev
aent The chief complaint we hear is
because the premium for 1871 is not to
be awarded until the time Of holding the
fair, in September. On this point we
disagree with some of our friends, and
only on this point shall we express an
opinion concerning the disputes growing
out of the trial. 1t seems to US a mis-
take not to have awarded the premium
for 1870, at the time of the fair last fall,
and this mistake has undoubtedly led
the Association into making the mistake
of having a trial now for 1871, and not
awarding premium until September. OF
course the committee could not do any
thing different under their instructions,
they had no discretion. The executive
committee ordering the trial is the only
responsible party, and if, as some think
it was a mistake, they should be held
blameless as they certainly did what in
their udgement was best

FOURTH or JULY.

The celebration of the 9jth Annivcr
sary Of American independence in Min,
eral Point was attended by large con-
course of people. The exercises of the
day consisted of cannon firing in the
morning, procession, speeches by Mr..
Couch, DR.. Wilber Calvert Spenslev and
Prof Gaylord-with music or singing
between each speech. In the afternoon
the Tatterdemalionic Cavalry made their
appearance and contributed much to the
entertainment of the crowds along the
streets, a good display of fireworks in
the evening concluded the celebration.
The lateness of the day when the first
steps were taken, made it impossible to
have perfect arrangements. In future,
we hope our people will commence
earlier, and get up celebration il the
right shape-with less view to money
making and more Of patriotism.

of the Book:i
This book is one of the best of its kind
we have ever seen, treating on subjects
that other works Of the kind have appar-
emily forgotten. The authors reasoing
is logical and apparently correct, blend.
lug science and the scriptures together
with wonderful tact. The harmony ex-
listing between the Bible and science IS
complete.
The design Of the writer is evidently to
illustrate the truth of the Bible by the
great and marvellous Developments of
Nature, and so far as we can see, he has
succeed remarkably WELL
The work is illustrated with thirtv.two
fine steel engravngs of the best quality,
Illustrating the diserentt periods of the
worlds growth and development, 1t is
good work for the scholar; in it

ment for the minister for it will

The Mccormick Advance reaper Is aleo
beginning to show herself for 1871. She
has been in two trials In this district
The following speaks for itself concerning
one trial
g. H. Russell, Esq, Mineral Point Vs.
Dear Sir. - We, the undersigned were
present to-day at a trial Of one of your
Mccormick Advance Reapers and Mowers
The reaper was run in field Of rye from
~ to 6 feet high and on ground where the
wheels sunk from two to four inches In
loose, dry sand, and was Drawn by pair OF
horses weighing only 1906 pounds She
worked admirably, notwithstanding the
lodged and tangled, some places short and
others very tall iand strong wind blow
ing furiously all the time. She laid the
gayels off in better shape than could be
done by any hand raker, and her draft was
much lighter than that Of the Belo,t hand
raker in the field by her side. Five
acres were cut with :this light team,
in the sand, in less than half day. Asa
mower she works in every way as well as
your Prize Mower. We have worked
gthe Advsnc in all kinds of grass and
rain-long and short, thick and thin, on
rough ground and smooth, In river marsh
and upland soDe--and must say she more
than fills the bill. We believe it the
lightcst draft, strongest, most durable,
easiest changed from n reaper to a mower
and vice versa--n short. the very best two
horse combined reaper and mower yet
invented. Signed

The other trial was in Lafayette county,
near Warren H., on June 3Oth, the com
mittee on which has not yet reported, but
from the excellent work done by the
Advance, and the general expressions in
her favor bv the crowd Of farmers present,
we feel very confident that the decision
will be in her favor. We sold three ma
chimes, being the only sales made on the
ground, and confirmed FIVE or six sales that
We had pending on the taial, which is the
best evidence Of it's superiority.
N. B. Since the above was put in type
patched up report, promulgated by interest
ed parties, has made il appearance from
Warren. concerning which we shall make
explanations at an early day.
In conclusion only ask any farmer want
ing machine to give the Advance fair
and thorough trial through the haying
and harvest season, alongside Of any other
machine, he only agreeing to buy and pay
for the one that suits him best.

Immediately after the trial for 1871,
above reported, the following mowers
went into a trial for 1871, to be awarded
at tho next fair, wit the Mccormick
Prize Mower, the Williams, the Champion,
the Kirby. the Woods, and the Meadow
King. As it is acknowledged by all who
witnessed the first trial that the Meadow
King approached nearer than any other ma
chine to an equality witt: the Prize Mower,
il is safe to conclude that, that machine
having lost in the tes. for 1870,
neither Of her admitted interiors is likely
to wear the blue ribbon Of 1871.
