ACTIVITY In THE GEORGIA GOLD
REGIONS.

The atlanta Ne,cS has been shown a
piece of gold ore taken from the Vine
branch mines, six miles from DahlOnega,
worth about $4,000 per ton. He had a
small pie, weighing about one fourth Of
a pound, which contained six dollars worth
of the precious metal, the ore being worth
S200,n00 per ton. Mr.. Harrison says that
there are now three mills in operation,
two very large ones building, and by next
summer six or eight mills will be running,
employing nearly two thousand hands.
The mine known as the Big Aoqueduct
mine purchased by Mr.. Hand, of Ohio,
will be one of the largest in this section
of the country. The Acqueduct alone cost
about $5O0,OO0. The power of the mills
will range from twenty to forty stamps,
and each stamp can pound twenty tons per
day. One gentleman has mill that cost
about $4,000, can pound one hundred
pounds of ore per day, at a cost OF twenty
dollars. The ore of this mine averages
about one dollar per pound, leaving a net
profit of eighty dollars per day. Great
preparations a being made, and by next
spring Dshlonega will present as busy an
appearance as our own city.

WHILE DIR. Newman is doing the Garden

points, the son Of Secretary Delano IS doing
the wilds Of the West with an exploring
expedition. The last heard from the son
Of the Christian statesman who presides
over the Interior Department was that he
made a successful ascent Of Mount Holy
Cnlss, in Colorado. This young man
draws a salary rs special agent Of the Pen
sion Office, and doubtless climbed the
ragged peaks looking after the frauds in
connection with the bureau he represents.

So FAR as the recent collision of the
armed forces in this city was concerned,
we find that among the killed and
wounded on the side of the people
there were not a few Northern men,
and that some of the best and most
gallant service performed was rendered
by gentlemen who were born at the
North and had been unvarying Union
men. There was no sectionalism-
none of the feeling generated by the
rebellion, nor any other but sincere pa
triotism and devotion to freedom and
republican right, and true manhood,
which is never sectional, that prompted
the men engaged IN that heroic strug-
gle and confict.-Nel1 Orleans Plea

Mont Blanc is no longer the monarch of
the European mountains. He must bow
his ''bald and awful head" before Mount
Elburz on the Northern or European side
Of the Caucasian watershed. The height
Of Mont Blanc is variously estimated at
from 1912 to 1874 feet, but his rival
Mount Elburz, which has just been ascend
ed by some members of the English Alpine
Club, is found to be 1926 feet high. In
shape, the mountain is described as fat
tened dome like an inverted teacup, and
although it has all the Alpine characteris-
tics of snow-fields, ice-lakes, and glaciers
it can be climbed without much difficulty
by experienced mOuntaineers.
