May 18, 1863, Savannah Republican (Georgia)
We are gratified to learn that this distinguished gentleman has been appreciated in Georgia and assigned to the control of an important interest. He has been chosen President of the Etowah Iron Mining Company, in Bartow county, who have one among the finest works of the kind in the country. It is said, and we believe correctly, that, in order to secure his valuable services, the Company transferred to him stock to the amount of $25,000, besides voting him an annual salary of $7,000.
We congratulate the Etowah Company on their good fortune in securing such superior scientific acquirements and business qualifications in the direction of their important interest.
