We are indebted to the author for the first
volume of this work. We have not had time to
finish reading the entire volume before us, but
from what we have read, we hesitate not to re.
commend it to all who desire to become acquainted
with the history of this region of the State. We
especially recommend it to the people of the upper
District. Every citizen should know the
history of the country in which he lives. By
doing so, he will certainly become more attached
to it. The author has presented his work to the
public, and it is due him as one who has labored
long and earnestly to restore many interesting
and important historical events which the people
had for yenrs past lost sigtit of, that this llistory
should receive a large sale from those whom
it is intended to benefit. The book can be obtained
in Greenville at the store of Messrs. Fisnca

Editorial Correspondence.
Augusta, Oa.
This city is ta.*i growing in wealth and commercial
importance. In visiting tl?o place heretofore,
I have been prevented, by the hurry of
business, from seeing but iittle of it, or forming
the acquaintance of any ol its cilir.sos. The day
which 1 have jCht spent here lies enabled tnc to
see many of the most interesting features io and
about this most flourishing Southern city, ?u<l
forming the friendship of several of its moat enterprising
inhabitant*.
1 am indebted to my friend, Geo. T. Barns,
Esq., for most of the pleasures and opportunities
I have enjoyed sinee my arrival. We have spent
the entire afternoon in a very agreeable and
j pleasant drive through the most attractive parts
| of the city, ns well ns the suburban village of
Sumrnerville, which latter place, notwithstanding
its beautiful and appropriate name. Is better
known by the citizens of this part of the country
ns ' The Sand Hills." ^
The merchants and business men of this place
are now very busy. 1 see boxes of goods nil
along the principal business streets, destined for
merchants in the interior and upper counties.
Augusta has received a large proportion of the
trade which has this year been distributed among
Southern eitir* <in nn.?nin.t t.l lti?
doctrines and feelings of the people of the Sooth.
She is now n port of entry-, >nd lier werelicits
are importing goods from foreirn markets
to a considerable extent. An effort will be mode
at the present loiioii of Congress to enable the
importers of Augmta to pay custom rates here,
instead of Charleston and Savannah, aa they
now have to do. The population of this plnea
is between 18,Ot>0 find 20,000. Fifteen years ago
the population was only 7,802. The streets,
generally, are wide, and handsomely laid out?
almost all of them are named after distinguished
persons. *The houses here, and particularly the
dwelling houses, are tasteful and substantial.
Many of them are finished in the highest style of
architecture, and display, in a great degree, the
taste and refinement of their owners.
1 betters that to Gen. Oglethrope this place is
indebted for its naase. It was nsrried in honor
of o?e of the royal princesses, who was named
Augusta. T'"? town of Augnsta was laid out ia

and ha* been releete&, on account of the
hcalthfulness of its location, for reeidenoea by
many of the business and professional men of
Augusta. The United State* Arsenal is also located
ut the Sand Hills, but at present is unoccupied
by a single soldier. 1 was informed that,
during the days of nullification in South Carolina,
Qen. Jackson had one thousand soldiers at
the Arsenal for the purpose of forcing South
Carolina to terms. These one thousand troop*
marched up the Sand Hills, and then marched
down again. Since which time the most anxious |
enquirer has never heard of them.
1 had the pleasure of seeing the venerable
form of Hon. Charles J. Jenkins as I passed his
residence at the Sand llilla. Mr. Jenkins, as the
readers of the Enterprine well know, is one of
the most distinguished lawyers in Georgia, and
is highly venerated and respected by all, even
his political opponents. To his consistency in
politics may be attributed hit failure to receive
any of the high public offices for which his
claims have been, in times past, presented by
his friends.
Excuse this rambling epistle. I have seen
many other interesting places and things about
Augusta, bu. 1 Lave not lime now to speak of

Tux Duck-town Minim.?It affords us gratifies
uon 10 note tue prosperity of Uic copper mining
of East Tennessee. The Agent at New York of
the Union Consolidated Company, who own, and
work under one manngement, a number of mines
at Ducktown, reports that the production in February
was very large. It amounted to 868 tons
of copper ore, or about 140 tons of ingot copper,
(280,000 pounds.) This is worth, in the general
market, $68,000, and after deducting $23,000 for
the expense of mining, smelting, and bringiug to
market, Ac., yields a net income of $43,000 for
one month, or at the rate of haft million a year.
This company, it is expected, will declare a handsome
dividend on the first of July next.
Letter fiom Arkansas.
Augusta, Ark., March 8tli,
Editor Enterprise?Sir: I presume a synopsis I
of a report of the analysis of water from the Hot
Springs, of Arkansas, will not l>o uninteresting
to at least a portion of your renders. These
Springs have long been celebrated for their curative
properties in a large class of deep-seated
chronic diseases, rheumatism, drc.?diseases modern
science has found more than a match for its
wisdom and skill. The number of springs, is
fifty four, varying in temperature from 51 to 117
drg. Fah., and discharging from a half to six gallons
per miuute. One of tlio largest and hottest
springs, having a steady temperature of 147 dcg.,
was experimented upon, the result showing the
water to contain 8i grains of solid mineral matter
to the gallon. An analysis of the mineral
constituents of water from this spring, made by
E. Uillis Larkin, of St. I?ui^ in 18&8, shows the
following per ceutage: Silicci acid, 24.74; senquioxide
of iron, 1.81 ; allatnina, 6.16; lime, 28.83;
magnesia, 73 ; cliloiiue, 7 ; carbonic acid, 21.36.
<trganie matter, 8.81; water, 1.04; sulphuric
acid, 4.40; potassa, 1.49; soda, 2.01; making^
100.100.
It will be seen, from the above, that about
three-fourths of the residue consists of earl>onate
lime (common lime,) and silica, (flint,) substances
of feeble action, so far as a correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican "knows, on the animal
economy."
1 have told yon, in a former letter, that the
country was level in the eastern counties, and this
(Jackson) county, especially ; and 1 will venture
the aasertiou that the Mississippi Valley is made
land, ana null the > alley waa once a sea of water.
The opinion not being new, I will not here
give you the reasons upon which the opinion ie
based.
The lands of this county seem to be particularly
adapted to cotton, possessing sand enougli
to keep the ground well pulverised, which also
i lakes up the water so <hat the seed does not rot,
and the "plant )a nut so subject u> be kSHtd by
lice, sore-skin, Ac. I know it if said that the Arkansas
River lands ara the best cotton lands in
the world. Why T M Because ft lias both the
soil and the climate," one says. Tis true thin
' eonntfy lies quite two degrees farther North than
I the Arkansas River, and consequently cannot
| havs as good climate > but aa much cotton h produced
to the acre Were as there. Then wa must
1 have a better soil. This makes me say wa bava
a soil particularly adapted to eotton.
Home of yoor readers may ask, which of the
two regions is best, the White or Arkansas River 1
I shall not prttend to answer tlmt to suit every
body, bat will give an impartial view of eaeh.
A* Sara S'.irW *ays: " It is about siz of one, and
a half dozen of the other." I hate seen health*
ier places than either. They raise a great deal
of eoltea to bay negro* to raise more cotton,

Pickuns District, in the 20th year of her age.
An affectionate husband is thus deprived of a kind
aud loving wife, and an infant babe, five days old,
and a little ehild, four years old, of that fond and
never-ceasing love and tenderness which a mother
alouo can bestow. Many relatives aud friends mourn
with tho husband in this his sad affliction ; but the
hope that she lives in " a happy land, far, far away,"
consoles them in their bereavement.
