Ever sine the war there has been one
voice in this State and section as to the
desirability of Northern capital being
invested here on its own responsibility
and in good faith. We have 'hardly
ever" met a sane or sensible person,
since 1865, who did not agree that what
Georgia and the South more particu
larly desired was the investment of
Northern capital here. Much of that
came, but the times were not propi
tious, during the Reconstruction and
panic eras, and there was no end to em
barrassment and, disappointment.
Since, however, the'State has resumed
her proper; privileges politically and is
mistress ot her own home interests,
there has been a wonderful recovery,
and nowhere in this Republic is there
a better field for investment than the
South. Thus convinced, millions of
Northern and European capital , are
pouring into the Southern States and
developing their mining, manufactur
ing and transportation advantages.
Augusta knows what the factory boom
is, and Atlanta is beginning to experi
ence a railway bonanza. The whole
State will presently be benefitted; and
vast regions will be agriculturally re
deemed. .
The aid and comfort we all pleaded
for have come. Moneyed men and cor
porations are engaged in building up
the South. Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi welcome these benefactors
and make their path an easy one. They
know what is for their good and do
nothing to discourage capital, which is
tne most timid or ail tnings. Georgia
should be not at all behind her sister
commonwealths in this important mat
ter,and she will not be. There are some
people who are in everybody's way,
like turnstiles, and hinder nobody, al
though possessing a slight power of
annoyance. These men may attempt
to stop the progress of the State, but
they have not the Anal power to suc
ceed. If they could, by any possibility
prosper in their work of obstruction,
the next decade would very effectually
and humiliatingly dispose of thedaim
of Georgia to be considered the "Em
pire State of the South."
If the unanimous appeal of the. peo
ple of Georgia for Northern and Eu
ropean aid to rebuild their waste places
and recreate their industries meant
anything and means anything, we can
safely say that the man who stands out
in public life against what the over
whelming voice of the people demands,
might as well dig his political grave
and go to roost among some camp of
cawing crows and sepulchral ravens.
"We do not anticipate any serious trou
ble in this matter, but why there should
be any trouble at all, in case the popu
lar clamor for outside aid was honest,
passes our comprehension. It may be
another case of grasshoppers making
more fuss in a fence corner than their
size or numbers warrant.

London Mining Journal, July 2.
Incorporated under the laws of North

or 2,000,000, have issued a prospectus
with a view to place shares which are
of $25 or 5 each par value in this cpun
try at 1 each. The principal mine ap
pears to be the noted Copper Knob
mine. This is a copper mine carrying
gold and silver, and is a property of 350
acres, covered with heavy timber. The
vein is a fissure, and varies from fifteen
inches to four feet in width. The mine
is opened to a depth of lc.7 feet on, the
incline, and has already produced a
large quantity of rich and valuable ore.
The vein at the present time is four
feet wide, and carries an average: of
twenty per cent, of copper and forty
dollars in gold and silver, per ton. This
mine is fully equipped with modern
machinery, steam hoisting .engine, air
compressor, air-drills, sixty -horse power
boilers, twenty-five horse-power engine,
and two smelting furnaces ef twenty
tons capacity are being constructed. In
the ore house there are about 300 tons
of first-class ore, and not less than 600
tons standing in the incline and drifts
on the foot-wall in the mine. The ore
is the vitreous copper ore, bprnite, mal
achite, and chrysocolla, all carrying
free gold and silver. The properties
have been very favorably reported
upon. An estimate of gross earnings
and receipts shows 700,000 or thirty
five per cent, available for dividends,
and 32,000 to form a sinking fund for
the twenty-year railway bonds issued
by the company for the line from
States ville to the company's mines.

"Helen Campbelr writes to the Bos
ton Herald, fram North Carolina,
about "Southern girls" in a way that
moves us, after a year's examination of
theiaine, to say that Helen should buy
a new pair of spectacles and look deep
er if she expects to get credit for a
truthful acctfunt of the young women
down South. Wtt have seen several
thousand of- thm, school-girls and
schbol-mistres'ess'5hot to say young
ladies, within tUa past year. That a
good many of ihm are exceedingly
pretty, and are. aware of it, is certainly
no mortal sin." That people get into
tbe shade and stay- tiiere, by the middle
of a Southern summer, may be imput
ed to laziness, but. in our. judgment, is
accounted for by the original infirmity
of human nature. Tbat there are too
many silly young females, too few su
perior girls, (jh.ci) Is and too little inter
est in bracing up.the mentalities among
our Southern sisters, does not prove
them so,very exceptional, as we have
tbe same trout'lpj even in Boston. We
only say that a good deal of . the talk
about 5'ineffi"iei!cy," "indifference to
good culture" and "sectional preju
dices" of Southern girls is little better
than nonsense. The South- is full ot
young girls who have grown up since
the dismal days of '61, of whom the
country will think the more in propor
tion as it knows them better. There
lot has fallen, too often, in hard places,
and theirtf)pprtunitie3f or study, soci
ety, travel, and the enjoyments of
much that is open to their sisters of
the North, is very meagre. But we
have never seen in the New England,
or the Western States, in all of which
we have carefully looked over the
American young women, a more prom
ising set than they. For cheerfulness
and courage amid disheartening circum
stances ; fidelity to family, home and
friends; resolute purpose to improve
themselves, and eagerness to enter
every avenue of womanly advance
ment, they have no superiors any where.
We never saw or heard of more touch
ing instances of devotion to the best
culture than were constantly un
der our observation during the
past month of our sojourn in
these States. The superior young wo
men of the South are not seated in
sackcloth among the ashes of the past,
but up and coming, in the brightest
clothes they can get into, full of new
American hopes, ready to do their duty
as it shall be made plain to them in the
days to come. If a few more of our
wealthy Northern women of culture
would go down there and liberally en
dow half a dozen of their best schools
for girls, or, better vet, "pool" their
money and philanthropy in a Southern
Vassar or. Wellesly, where .thousands
of these little women could receive the
best education of the time for a hun
dred dollars a year, the Helen Camp
bells could be left to their scribbling
with small danger of prejudice to the
Northern mind.

The letter closes: "Bring the troops

citizens are thoroughly in earnest on
this subject." One night last Week
a negro family, living in a house on the
land of a gentleman a few miles "south

by horses.at the door, and going out
found a white man and-woman, with a
male infant, evidently but a few hours
old and unclothed.- The man and wo
man had been making preparations to
place the Child on' the doorstep. As
soon as the negroes appeared the man
began talking, and in a few moments
made an. arrangement by which, in pon

o take the infant and keep it until
called for. .The man said he would
call for the baby in a day or two, 'but
he has not called, and the negroes still
have the child. The parties, driving
