An Indian Legend Proved True.
GFrom the Cherokee Advertiser.


An old Indian legend proved to be a
veritable story. Col. Sames Callan is a
prospective bonanza king. The earliest
settlers of Cherokee County, Ala, used
to hear strange and marvellous stories
from the Indians of great silver mine,
which was said to be located on the banks
of Chatteoga River, in the vicinity of
Gaylesville, but they never could be in
duced to point out it's exact locality
Few believed the story, though the In
dams displayed many roughly carved or
naments of silver, which they said were
taken from the mine i'll solid blocks.
Several years ago Mr.. Callan, in some
way, received information that the mine
was located on his farm and he immedi-
ately set to work to discover it, and has
spent much time, labor and money in
his vain search. Learning these facts,
Col. Shorter, Capt. Turner, Lawyer
Clemens and others of Rome, Ga, sent
to the Indian Nation for an Indian named
Holland, who was supposed to know all
about it. He soon arrived and with the
party OF Rome gentlemen came down to
Mr.. Callan's. Holland says there is a
vein of silver, three feet in diameter,
running through Mr.. Callan's farm and
extending several miles, worth, at least,
ten millions of dollars.

A TRUMPET CALL.
BY DIR. o. w. HOLMES.

Why inger round the sunken wreck,
Where old Armadas found their graves?
Why slumber on the sleepy decks
While foam and clash the angry waves?
Up! When the storm blast rends the clouds
And winged with ruin sweeps the gale
Young feet must climb the quivering masts,
Young hands must reef the bursting sail.
Leave us to fight the tyrant creeds.
Who felt their shackles, feel their scars.
The cheerful sunni ght little hceds
The brutes that prowled beneath the stars:
The dawn is here, the day star shows
The spoils of many battle won.
But sin and sorrow still are foes
That face us in the morning sun.
Who sleeps within your hammered mounds.
The proud Borrowing mourner seeks
The garland-bearing crowd surrounds9
A bright-haired boy with beardless cheeks.
lis time this fallen world - should rise;
Let youth the sacred work begni
What nobler task, what fairer prize
Than Earth to save and Heaven to win
