The Gold Fields of Georgia.


The gold fields of Georgia are now devel-
oping in more systematic and energetic
manner than heretofore. The principal op-
erations are ON the Chestatee river, which
rises in the Appalachian mountains, i'm
Lumpkin county, and flows southwark to
Hall county, where it empties into the
Chattahoochee. Both these rivers traverse
the gold belt, mostly at right angles to the
strata of the gold veins, and rich deposits
are found in their beds. The Chestateo
from its mouth to it's junction with the
Tesnatee has not been worked excepting at
the shoals, which yielded largely. Two
companies are now engaged in preparations
towork the bed OF this riyer-one from
Ohio, which is. cutting canal and tunelling
through a ridge so as to make available
three miles of gold deposits; the other CON
trolled by J. r. Bartlett Of Boston, who has
e1igrossed nearly ten miles of the river.
Other companies are preparing to operate
in the same reglon, and DIR. M. f. Stephen
son, formerly assayerof the United States
branch mint, says that when these extensive
gold fields are put under the hydraulic
process the yield will be enormous. The
condition in which gold is found in Georgia
dernolishes the theory held by several cele-
brated geologists that the metal was brought
to the surface only q short period before the
appearance Of man on earth. One vein,
which viii yields gold Of extraordinary finsness,
il in hornblendic gneiss, the oldest for1na-
ton Of stratified rocks; while in another
mine the gold is diffused through granite
in paying quantities for miles, and in still
another it's found in feldspar ever one
hundred miles from any OVERLAPPING rock
containing organic remains. N. Y. SUM-.

The Portsmouth papers speak "f the
death of a Baptist preacher named Jo-
seph Ellison. He died in a shanty on
the lands of John c. Malone, between
Sciotoville and Wheelersburg. He died
of fiux, all alone He was between sixty
and seventy years OF age, and he and his
wife had disagreement last spring and
separated We suppose this is the same
man who some thirty years ago resided
between the farm OF Joseph Phillips and
the farm of Mr.. West, in Jefferson town
ship, in this county He was an inoffens-
i've man, without much energy, and was
a preacher of rather limited capacity
He had two brothers who were preachers
of much ability. Matthew Ellison of
West Virginia, was an able preacher, and
Felix Ellison was also man of talent.
The latter resided in jackson some
thirty years ago. and taught school He
took an active part in the erection of the
Baptist Church, corner of Pearl and
Church Streets
The Ellisons were originally from Coal
River Marshes, West Virginia, and we
believe their father was preacher The
first wife of Abner Phillips, late of Jeffer
son township, was sister of the Ellisons
She died near fifty years ago.

A German in Jersey City, named Val
entine Schonderr, came home drunk
from picnic, and threw cup of coffee
into his wifes face. She only laughed
at this, which so provoked him that he
seized mallet and commenced pound
ing her head The account in the New
York Tribune closes thus
The woman was attended by Dr. Prem
dergrast, who found that one of the blows
had torn the flesh off her cheek from
the bone below the right eye so that it
hung down in shreds, presenting a sick
ening sight. Just above the right eye
was found the most dangerous wound,
the club in this instance having fractured
the skull. At a late hour last night it
was thought that she could not survive.
Mrs. Schonderr is about so years old, and
her reputation in the neighborhood has
been good. Her husband is about 35
years old, and is a harness maker by
trade. 1t is not known that he has a
quarrelsome disposition. The deed
seemed to sober him somewhat, and
when he was locked up he was concious
of his act, but stated that it seemed as
though he must do it and that he could
not help it.
1t must be exceedingly gratifying to
this dying woman and her friends (if she
has any) to know that the selling and
drinking of the liquor which caused her
murder in this shocking way, is not

the duty of honest, sober Democrats to
do the same And some will do SO.

Letter from Illinois.

RINARD, ILL, August 81, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Standard:
Inasmuch as you have letters from va
rious parts of the country, I may give
few items which will be of some inter
est to your many readers of the STAND
ARD.
The corn crop of Southern Illinois is
not as good. as was contemplated about
three weeks ago. During that time we
had no rain, and in consequence of the
dry weather the chinch-bugs have de-
stroyed a great deal of corn that will not
amount to anything Dry and hot
weather is just what pleases these great
renee for the chinch bugs to do the dam-
age they have this season. They COM
mence their work early in the spring
commencing on the wheat first When
the wheat is harvested, they then begin
on the corn, and remain until the corn
is gathered. Mr.. chinch-bug collects his
family on a stock of corn, and remains
until the stock is no longer able to sup
port them. Then he, like the wandering
gypsy, removes to fresh working place.
So the work of these great destroyers
continues'from early in the spring until
late in the fall We are not troubled
with grasshoppers as yet, but are looking
for them in the future. The oats crop
was en- entire failure, in consequence of
the early drouth. Wheat is yielding

The unprovoked murder of colored
men in the rebel States is so horrible
that the national power must at once
come to their protection, or members of
Congress will soon hear from the people
in a voice that will render the protest
against the salary steal as mild as the
evening breeze Even the Cincinnati
Commercial is constrained to say at the
close of a long editorial:
This business of killing black men
simply to intimidate them and bring
them into a mood sufficiently submissive
and abject to satisfy gentlemen of the
high tone of General Bate of the proprie-
ty of their conduct, can not be allowed
to go on. If the State authorities can
not give the same protection to the col
ored that they extend to the white citi-
zens, power that is strong enough to do
so will unquestiopably interfere in their
behalf The day for the oppression of
men and women on account of race and
color in the United States is past, and
communities in which it is practiced will
be reached even at the cost of State lines
and jurisdiction.

Among the practical questions your

these What will be the effect, in Ohio,
of breaking off from that party which,
in the past, has been the author of all
the legislative progress we have recently
made. whether in aid of human liberty,
civil and political equality, the liberation

down-trodden and poor, or the defense
of society against the ravages of intem-
perance; how far it is wise to attempt TO

manage the affairs of popular govern

reasonable subordination of individual

it is not in the Republican party's prog

THAT the Democratic party of Ohio,
adheres to its ancient principles of secur-
ing equal rights and exact justice to all
men, and to all the States and communi-
ties of the American people; OF maintain
ing the independence of the coordinate
departments of the Federal Government
the legislative, the executive and the
judicial -condemning all encroachments Is
of either upon the functions of the others
and resisting every attempt to usurp any
of the powers reserved by the constitu-
ton to the States respectively and to the
peoe&s, therefore,
ReSolued That a sound currency is in
dispensable to the welfare of a country :;
that its volume should be regulated by
the necessities of business, and that all
laws that interfere with such natural reg
ulation are vicious in principle and detri-
mental in their effects. We are in favor
of such an increase of the circulating
medium as the business interests of the
country may from time to time require.
That sound policy and justice require
that not less than one-half the Gus
toms duties should be payable in the le-
gal tender notes of the United States cur
rency called greenbacks.
That the power Of the National Banks
to issue and loan their notes upon inter-
est, is a poYer to draw interest upon their
debts, while the people pay interest
upon what they owe. That this special
and unequal privilege ought not to exist
unless that it is manifest that in no other
way can a sound paper currency be sup
piled. Believing that better system
can be devised, and one that is free from
unjust privileges, we are in favor of abol-
ishing the franchise of the National
Banks to issue a paper currency as soon
as the same can be safely and prudently
done, and that the notes SO withdrawn by
the banks be replaced by the govern
ment with legal tender currency.
That the Democracy of Ohio reiterate
their declaration that the 500 bonds by
