Warm Springs, Meriwether County, On., August 11.—I promised you n book about the Springs. And the minuti® of life here would fill a big one. I am tempt ed first to tell you about a ride over Pine mountain and down the right of way of the rapidly building Georgia Midland rail road. At 8 o’clock yesterday morning several of us started out on horseback. The party consisted of Mr. Chas, I,. Davis, proprietor of the hotel; Captain Seaton Clrantlund, president of the Georgia Mid land railroad, aud wife; Mr. A. O. Black- mar, cashier of the M. and M. bank, and the reporter of the Enquirer-Sun. Our horses were splendid animals. While waiting for us to mount in front of the hotel they champed the bits and pawed the rocks and distended their pink nostrils in the eagerness of excited anticipation, which must have been more intense even than ours. I had not mounted a horse in years. But I grew up on one. I was rocked in a saddle instead of a cradle; and I have never been thrown by a horse in my life—-that is, any further than the ground, which is quite an insignificant dis tance. Still, I remember that 1 was badly injured one day when I was about ten years old by monkeying with the southern ter minus ofa horse. My uncle owned a sor rel horse which had never been but half broken, and that half was the front or portico part of his architecture. The ani mal was originally stolen from Sherman’s army, and while it was not the general impression, still I think my uncle got him second-handed. I had A HALF-GROWN WILD CAT. which would cling to anything with which it came in contact, with teeth and claws. It occurred to me, one day, during a mo ment of infernal inspiration that just as the old man, my uncle, mounted the sorrel mustang to ride off, it would accelerate the animal’s gait and add eclat and brilliance to the occasion for me to slip up behind and heave my gouging wild cat on to the aft deck of the pony. So when he came out of the house with his stove-pipe hat on and his spectacles astraddle his nose to mount the horse, 1 stood behind him with my wild cat weapon concealed under my coat. As he rode off I heaved the cat and he landed on the mustang’s haunches dig ging for bottom rock as he lit. THE SCHEME PANNED OUT, in the way of eclat and cat claw even more than J bad expected. I think the mustang thought the stars were falling, and that one of the newest and hottest ones had got into the same pew with him. He squatted for a section ofa second and then a fog of dust enveloped the "solitary horseman and his steed.” The first buck he made he threw the old man out of his low-quartered shoes, and after that his movements were entirely too rapid to be recorded. The at mosphere was alive with hoofs and hats and false teeth and profanity. After being dumped into a pile together, the cat, my venerable uncle and the;nmstang pony, all three got to fighting. It was a scene for sculping. At last the old man—peace to his ashes—crawled out of the wreck, and took me by the hair. Gently, like aigroom leading his bride to the altar, he led me behind the barn. Tears filled my eyes as I thought of the visits we had made to the same dear old spot together in other days for pretty much the same purpose. The old man bad brought his bridle-reins with him and they had a large knot tied in the end. These frequent encounters between us were—like all martial encounters—ac companied by music to inspire the com batants. On this occasion, my uncle beat the bones and I sang; hut I had to furnish the bones and the singing. That was the only time I was ever severely injured by fooling wit li a horse. Pardon this prolix di gression. After leaving the hotel our com pany set out in almost a straight line for Pine mountain. Half way up the moun tain we stopped to look at THE VIEW' TO THE NORTHEAST. It looks like a scene in Switzerland. It is a panorama, with the firmament for a roof and the earth for a stage. It is on ex hibition day and night during all the ages. The sun and moon are the lamps that light up it’s pictures—pictures painted by the Artist who kindled the stars for His tapers, by which to number the hairs on an in fant’s head. Far ajvay on the mighty range, bald peaks loom up at intervals m the vapory distance, like protecting lions crouching, rocky aud regardant, on the frontiers of some invasion-threatened commonwealth. In the presence of a contemplation like tins the mind seizes the crushing concep tion of omnipotence, like a drowning man grasping a buoy, ana a man’s.religion it self becomes a more piercing reality. These mountains, so motionless and dumb and grand, are mute moulders of the men who suck sustenance from their sides. Rugged countries develop rugged charac ters. It required the mountains as well as the men to make Thermopyloe a reality. Epamiuoudas and his princely three hun dred, who stood in the terrible mountain pass that day, quietly combing their yel low hair for death, might have been cowards if reared among marshes. Leaving the first view, our party climbed on through woods and hushes, and pre cipitous gulches, toward the top. At last, when the sun was high and warm, we reached tin- summit and paused to rest our panting horses and look upon another scene grander if possible than the one we huu left so reluctantly. After a snort season of rest we began the descent on the otuer side, toward THE GEORGIA MIDLAND RAILROAD Tl X- NEL. In an hour we came within the sound of picks and drills, and at a turn m tue path we suddenly emerged from the forest tin" the presence of the great.camp and tin- tunnel. Numbers of rudely constructed houses anil stables and temporary wma shops made the place appear like a mining camp in Colorado. Scores of swarthy ne groes and mules went in and out <> the dark mouth of the tunnel, the one pulling wheelbarrows und the others dump carts. llere and there stood a white “boss wearing a light suit, somhero and leggings. 1 hous- andsoftons of yellow earth lay like sm- plus honey around the gigantic hl\e, where men and mules crowded m and oat like busy bees. As we sat on our horses and gazed down the perpendicular precipice that led to the mouth of the tun nel a stalwart and burly negro came slow JJ out, drawing his big wheelbarrow ot roeK and clay. His under-jaw was slightlj ajar and his mouth resembled a cellar-dco hung with tallow caudles. He was‘ ® black that the whites of his eyes were black; but lie looted eh l se am * eamn j, 8 n ein8 u . mt there was company in liUlfiw’V'' bnck J his hesd > expanded his bellows-lungs and sang us the hymn i 8 .® nti| nents were doubtless making thus*° lap,l,V " hen We came up.

Li dc rich don t pray to hell dey’ll go, Glory hulleloo!” The last line was sung with increasing gusto. Ami the prospect ol some day sit ting in the gallery ot another world .is a mere spectator, and wutehiegt.hu author!- lies there while they put rich railroad con tractors o:i the spit to mast, seemed to IIP his entire black hide with a calm religious delight. 1 ve got a hundred dollars reward tor tile first lexicographer that successfully defines the word “nigger.” But bless him ami Ins colaborer and contemporary, I THE MULE. \\ e can’t do without them. What if they do kick us, or steal our chickens oc casionally. They hew our wood and draw our water, they build our railways, utid bear our burdens. The nigger and tin- mule have a kinship of soul. The mule even follows the nigger into the peniten tiary, and works with him there, i say all honor to the nigger and the mule. A 'bot tle ol whisky and a bundle of fodder will make the pair of them happy, and they are the cheapest laborers in the world. From the tunnel we followed the right of way of the Georgia Midland for six or seven miles toward Columbus. Every few hundred yards we passed a gang of eon victs, each one overlooked by an armed guard, who also acted as overseer. At the end of the seven miles we came to the convict camp of Contractor H. P. Wood ruff, whose lather. Mr. D. P. Woodiuif, was in charge in his son’s absence. After viewing the camp a few minutes, Messrs. Blackmar and Davis accompanied Mrs. Grantland on toward the Springs. Presi dent Grantland and the Enquirer-Sun reporter dismounted to make a more thorough inspection of the camp. The re port circulated at the Springs to the effect that President Grantland and the Enqui rer-Sun reporter were seen, soon after the rest of the party lett, in tile buss’ tent INSPECTING A BIG BROWN JUG with a pail-of tin cups, is a base fnbrica- | tiun. President Grantland is noted for his ' abstemious habits. And the reporter has quit, or about quit. He has got down now to where he only takes one drink at a time. And il is also untrue that the latter is such a good judge of whisky that he can pull the stopper from a bottle of corn whisky and smell the darkey that hoed the corn. So far us 1 know prohibition is thoroughly enforced aud practiced at the Woodruff camp, hi tact 1 am confident that there was no jug there. Both land Presiaent Grantland peeped around for one, and finally hinted around lor one, but none came to the surface. We wanted to find the jug and then reprove the boss severely for keeping liquor in the camp. Mr. D. 1’. Woodruff' was very courteous and did bis best to make our brief stay a pleasant one. There M ere two convicts in the hospital convalescing from the lever. One of these attracted my attention. He was a handsome youth just twenty-one years old. He was in seven years for burglary. One year of his time is gone. He wss dressed in his suit of stripes and was reclining on the edge of his bunk. “Dick,” said the boss, “can’t you get your harp and give these gentlemen some music?” We repeated the request our selves and the young man nodded assent- ingly with a smile that died prematurely on his thin white lips. Taking his harp he walked heavily toward us, nis great iron shackles clanking heavily as be came. It was a mournful sight. This handsome and ruined boy sit ting there in his irons and his infamy tuning his harp for the gladness of strangers. In a moment the music of his touch floated and frisked on the cir cumambient air. His tunes were all of a merry make—laughing and rushing and rapid. Sometimes when we hear the mer riest songs how little we dream that the heart of the singer is breaking. If his was the music of an imprisoned bird, it was the music of one that had forgotten the bars of his cage. In a thoughtless moment I said, “Dick; play Home, Sweet Home.” The poor fellow’s pale cheek blanched whiter, his still, stalwart frame shuddered slightly and without reply he clutched his instrument with a tighter grasp. And then he played “ Home, Sweet Home” as I never heard it played before. Perhaps he was playing it with the spirit and the understanding as few of us can. At any rate rate, while he played his blue eyes gazed wistfully over the mountains far away toward his home, and A BRIGHT, TREMBLING TEAR gathered in each one—a tear that I know was as pure as a virgin’s. In these two tears “ How many a tale ot joys Jong lied, How many u tale of hopes now dead,” welled up aud struggled for the poor priv ilege of a tongue and a voice. The young man’s full name is Richard Hall, and he is from Gordon county. Asa rule I am not given to gushing on criminals, but some how I hope that Dick’s term will be short ened and that he will wipe out this stain on his youth before the icy fingers of age have spattered their frost in his hair. Mounting our horses, Capt. Grantland and the reporter were soon in pursuit of the rest of the party. If Capt. Grantland can run a railroad as well as he can a horse, he will make the Georgia Midland a success. He rode a horseof his own,which he keeps at the springs—a magnificent ani mal. f was riding Mr. Charley Davis’ private saddle horse, a famous fox hunter. They were by far the most mettlesome steeds in the party. There was just enough of the old Adam left in the railroad presi dent and the reporter to set them to hank ering after a race. Both seemed to divine the other’s thoughts, but both refrained from mentioning the subject first. It would have been a serious compromise of dignity, especially the reporter’s, to run a horse race in public. It would liave been Him ply scandalous. Hut wo wore alone, shut out from the world, and the tempta tion to indulge in this secret sin grew stronger every minute. We passed the rest of tin; party at a rapid gal lop and rode on together. I he horses ap peared to catch the evil inspiration, and pulled on the hits like demons lending in nocent men astray. Just as we struck the last four hundred yards oi level straight road the railroad president gazed over Ins shoulder at the reporter with a look that said loud.T than words. “I iood-bye, young man, good-live!” Captain Grantland had surrender, d to the temptation, and tile nex, second lie shot ahead like a cyclone. ] thought of my pious raising. J thought of the thrashings I had received for wit nessing horse races when I was a hoy. But last of all I thought of the honor (fi the KNul THKH-Si X. And when 1 did I leaned over the neck of fox hunter and let him out. I never saw a horse make such a ter rific run in my life. IL was like lending your breath and riding lull speed in the ‘face of a howling storm. ’I he lox hunter didn't look like a running horse. Ho looked like a string of horse a hull mile j 01 i,r Uu curried himself clean by attri tion'with the air. When 1 reined him up at the hotel gate, Capt. I.rantiand was bringing up the rear. When I dismounted a darkev took the bridle. But at that in stant something attracted his attention and he left the horse to himself. Finding himself loose, the fox hunter walked leisurely up to where 1 stood on the bottom sten of tlie hotel, rubbed his nose <iuec- tioiiatelv against my vest, and gazed at me with his great dark, swimming eves. I am relating strictly facts now, and I don t want to diverge. It may have been imagi nation with me, but I il vow I thought I heard that horse say to me: “Old man, ‘We’ve got no wine at all, JJut we got thar alt the same. *»• DOTS FROM DELTA.

Delta, Macon County, Gil, Augtst 7. —The religious revival at the Baptist church at Reynolds continues with tin* nbted interest, it has been in progress for the past three weeks. At this writing thir ty-seven have joined. One would almost think that tlu* days of miracles had re turned. for the conversion of some who joined w as regarded as almost miraculous The presence and power of tue Lord was manifest in the demeanor of the most in credulous. The realms of skepticism and infidelity were alike invaded, and their strong defenders surrendered with regieu that tiny hadcuTen.i-ted in such a euu-e No iLmlit the almighty e mimcnced this mighty change in the place wh n prohi bition went into elVcct th tirst of January. Heretofore during revival* no interest was manifest beyond the limits of the enuren. Mr. Farmer, tlie pastor, lms labored faith fully; he deserves, aiuUlis receiving, tlu blessings of God and me congratulations of friends and foes of religion. At a nmss-nnetingof the democracy of Macon county on last Monday at Ogie- thorp, delegates were elected to the con gressional convention favorable to the re- nomination of C. F. Crisp. At the same time a delegation was* appointed to Uu senatorial convention, and as thi* is Sum ter county's time (tinder the rotation sys tem) of e urae the delegates go uninstruct ed, but will support the e.uiiduhUe put for ward by Sumter's nomination in Sumter to day.’ Fodder-pulling is 111** order of the day with farmers. Catterpiliars have made their appear ance in the cotton fields in this section. Ru.it lias appeared on light sandy lands causing the cotton to open. A delegation left here yesterday for Knoxville, Crawford county, to attend the big barbecue. It is said that the lmrbecu • was in the interest of the proposed new railroad through the county, but if reports be true, it might be better called a con vention of candidates, for it is truthfully said, that there are thirty-three candidates in the county. What a glorious time these thirty-three candidates will have hand shaking, each vicing with the other in politeness. Mrs. J. W. Harp, who was reported as improving, has relapsed, and is now ex pected to (lie. Mr. Victor McMichuel and sister, Miss Filba, of Putnam, Ga., together with Misses Hair, of Buena Vista, have been in the neighborhood for several days, visiting rel atives. Our nomination for representative is set for 21st inst. Two candidates only—Mr. W. H. Felton, of Marshallville, and Air. AT. English, of Oglethorpe—both, of course, confident of success. Best wishes for both. ROBINS IS THE MAN. Il<> In Nominated for Stifle Senator from the ‘25th IMNtrict—Proceedings of the Convention. Special to Enquirer-Sun.

Union Springs, Ala., August 11.—We will have a military encampment here soon, and expect to have several com panies; can’t say how many now. Will give dates aud more extended notice later. The Mexican trouble has woke up our town, and war is talked of as much if not more than the crops. We think it a shame that the great American eagle should be rapped over the head by Canada and have its feathers plucked out of its tail by Mex ico. Court convened yesterday morning, with Judge Chilton on the bench, and of course the usual crowd is in town,giving the streets a business-like appearance. It is expected the session will last about three weeks. Mr. Will Fuller left this morning for the Warm Springs, Ga. Mr. M. R.
