CoTToN MILLS GOING SOUTH.-Ihe
tency of the cotton industry to move
southwark has arrested the serious at
tention of New England capitalists IN
terested in that industry. Edward AT
kinson, which Bayley Potter and sev-
eral Fall river manufacturers, are at
present in Atlanta, in consultation with
Southern capitalists, looking to the fu-
ture of cotton producing and manufac-
ting interests. There are several large
factories there, among them one with
20. 800 spindIes and 800 looms, making
$50, 900 yards of cloth per week; two
Others with "A 900 spindlcs each, one
with IA, 600. The Advantages OF prox
unity to cheap fuel. cheap living and
the source of cotton supply are SO appa
rent, and the returns to capital so much
more satisfactory, that close attention
is being given to this section with
view to transferring a portion at leas'
| of the production there.

MACos COUNTY. The Tauketah and
the Wayah Balds are the highest points,
the one being 5312 the other 5494 feet
above sea level. Nothing can be more
calculated to produce a feeling Of awe
OF the majesty OF the Creator than to
stand on one Of these towering peaks
and see the mountains literally piled at
his feet, to watch the blue bills, rising
one beyond another as far as the eye
can reach, or TO see the storm cloud
hanging darkly over their tops while
the vividl lightning plays over them.
The Dry Fails Of the Cullasaja were
probably named from the fact that one
can pass behind the falls entirely pro
tected from the falling waters BY the
rock that projects over the pathway
The mountains here stand so close that
the river has barely room to pass, and
seemingly impatient at the conflne-
ment, dashes al the rocky barrier as II
to wear away broader channel. The
fall is IL perpendicular one of about 10
feet, and the water Is 50 lashed into
foam that it might be easily imagined 2
stream of pounded ice, as we look W
irom below.
The county site is Franklin, situated
on the Little Tennessee. 1t is a neat
mountain village, aud shows surprising
business and local advantages, to be sc

from the effects of cross grained and
inelastic temper. Such a possession has
ruined many man, and has brought
thrift to lawvers and courts, by reason
Of the litigation which has arisen from

the depression of the system consequent
upon the indigestion of badly cooked

he reads these lines, how he has at tlmes
been left all unbalanced in disposition
and in mental force by badly cooked
dinner. and the cheerfulneSs and the
general contentmert which follows a
meal that is well cooked and attractive
lv Sc. forth The frying pan has to an
swer for much of the unhappiness of the
world. aud the sodden, greasy, food put
OF the table by the incompetent cook
does vast amount Of mischief.
Alas, how many persons suffer as he
did, AID what happiness might come
to the share of people now constantly
miserable for want of knowing how TO
prepare their food. Few suffer in thi.
way more than country dwelers. But
few have greater and better facilities
for supplying the table with material.
Yet the salt meats, the everlasting boiled
and generally sodden potato, the pork
fried and stepped IN grease, the con
slant hard boiled egg, the heavy and
often sour bread, the rancid lard, the
butter endowed with the strength Of a
giant, the fowl bsrbarousicy slaughtered
and as badly used in the cooking, the
inyariable and tiresome sameness and
the absence of all pleasing garnishment
of the table. all this that might be re-
called, being simply the effect Of a want
Of knowledge Of the art Of cooking,
and Of simple economy. IS the daily
experience.

ATLANTA, Dec. |. Owing 70 great
oversight by Gov. Colquitt the likeli-
hood is that the electorial vote Of Gcor-
gia cannot be cast. The Governor is
sued his proclamation some days ago
ordering the electors for Georgia to as
sembe at the capitol in this city on
wednesday after the first Monday in
December, week from to to-day, for
the purpose Of declaring the vote of the
State for Presi lent of the United States.
The United States statute, which IS near
y as old as the government, declares
thst the electors shall meet on the first
Wednesday in December, which is to-
day. OF course the electors did not
Assem- bIe here to-day and. as the law is
plain, Georgis's eleven electoral votes
in all probability Will not be counted
in the college. The Governor claims
to have based his proclamation upon
an old State statute used in Georgia du.
! Ing the war in selecting the Confede-
rate President. The action of the cx
ecutive is considered quite stupid here.

This Law is all feeting show
For man illusion given,

And occasions many a poor man woe
And send. no man to Heaven.
And false the lights by Lawyers thrown
On suits, though fees are given,
And man base characters are known
And all his frauds ald falsehoods shown,
Which bar all hopes of Heaven.

From court to court We are driven,
And after looking all the day,

1t seems to Us the Northern Demo

the fiimsy texture Of the Radical stock

Southern war claims, and the Re

although the Confederate Brigadiers
have been in the majority of Congress,
for two years past they appointed only

two tons of ore worked on trial in his mill in
the Nipond district and taken fl" M the Col
Inns lode, a ledge recently discovered Ivy
Mcssrs. Spur & Collins, of Dewcy's Flat.
From the Park we receive the report of a
very rich strike lately made by Mr.. d. ID.
Budd, who was so fortunate as to discover,
on our national holiday, what has every APP
pearance of ! sing a valuable silver bearing
lode. The ledge, which has the generous
width OF eight feet, can be traced for the dis
lance Of $50 feet along the brow OF the hill.
The hillside below the groupings Is said to be
covered with hundreds of tons of rich, free
milling float, from which assays as high as
600 ounces have been made. If the facts
bear out the report as circulated we Lave III
the new find a very promising locking mine.
The lode was appropriately named the

discovery. Il is situated close TO the Park

intention Of organizing q Democratic club.
The purpose was accomplished and the club
duly formed, with A. II. Barret as president ;
j. W. Ransome, vice.presidert; and D. Marks,
