Monday morning Capt. E. P. Barney, Supcr-
mdendent of tho Kelmn, Rome A Dalton
Railroad, took charge of tbe Press gang, and
right handsomely did he do the houors of the
trip. We travelled through a fine country
198 miles, to Selina— rich m noil aud mineral
wealth. We stopped, going out, at the Oxford
Iron Works—small and of uot much interest,
yet capable of much better development and
of returning large profits. From Oxford, we
ran on at a fast rate to Selma, where we had
the freedom of tho hotel, by the courtesy of
Capt Barney, who, by the by, fed us well,
going and returning. Oa our return wo dined
at Shelby Springs. Shelby Springs is a ro
mantic and beautiful place, capable ol being
made oue of tbe most desirable resorts iu the
whole country. Wo saw an Atlauta lady
there for her health, who gained four pounds
in (ho last week. Tho wuters are excellent.
Shelby Springs ought to be developed. In

Iu another the Democracy is pledged to do

In auothor State tho Democracy is pledged
