| Gold yellow, giuerine precious gold'"

 Dahlonega, which means in good Indian, yellow money, is tae capitol of Lumpkin couniy--in the heart of lhe Gold Regon--aud some thirty miles west of ClarksvilIe The road for the greater part of the way. IS through a rugged and miseraby poor country only valuable for it's deposits of the precious metal. When you strike the Chattahoochee, yon may see numbers, up and down the river, engaged in gold digging. Jellees are thrown out into the riy- | CT, al varIous points, that the operatives can work to advantage. The deposits in which the Gold IS found. are in the bed of the river, made up of rounded ebbes, sand, mica slate, and clay slate.- | It is dug up with pick, and shoyeed into com mon rocker, worked bv one hand The whole pro- cess requires very little labor, and pays from half, to d penny we,ghl to the hand, per diem. Alter yon strike the slate formation Gold is raiely found, in he Assures of the slate, or where it is very soft. Every evidence seems to exist, that these Gold deposes came from the surrounding hills yet strange say veins have been found, in the hills or suriace deposits, to pay for working ihem- Throughout the entire reg ion ef country where the slate formation prevails, Gold has been found in the beds of streams and vaeys--on lhe Tresenlee, the Chestatee, the Challahooche, and all, or nearly all, | ther tributaries.

 | The ex,raordlnary drought of the present yenr, has been much in lheir favor, ('it IS an i'll wind | that blows good ) and we were informed, by ihe | Superintendent of the Mint at Dahlonega, thai above hall Il million will have been coined during l this year. The Gold business of Geoigia however | we must think it's end.

 The country around Dahlonega is lhe most unin l leresling-save to the Geolog isl--of all seciious over winch il has ever been our lot 10 travel. Con evidence of the degrada'on of it's inhabitants meets the eye. Almost every log cabin by way-sde has it's ltilr shelf in front, eraGed by decanter of whiskey, fourpence lumbler, and striped ginger. cake.

 most Vagahondish population seems scattered over he country. Agriculture seems tn be almost totally neglected, and the richest valley lands are turned opsey turvey in search of gold. On all sides | you are struck with the truth and fierce of the re- l mark
