Special Correspondence Atlanta Herald.
Grand Pacific Hotel,
Chicago, Jnne 31, 1873.
In writing this letter, the first of a seiies i
descriptive of our excursion from Atlanta to
Chicago and back to Atlanta, we desire to
preface it by saying that we shall
speak of things as they look to us, and
of people as we find them, so
that the value of our letters shall consist in
iheir truthfulness. At precisely ten o’clock
r. m., the eighth instant, “All on board” was
announced by the conductor, and we started
for this great city. Our party consisted of
twenty, from among whom were Jadge J. T.
Bothwell and wife, Hon. J. O. Matherson and
wife, of Augusta; Mr. V. K. Tomy and wife,
Hon. E. E. Rawson and daughter, C. E.
Boynton, Esq., and wife, Hon. Tom Good- . ....
now and wife, besides several business men | at Auburn and at Opelika; it is good, I have
i here; I stay here most of the time; I know
Mrs. Julia H. Barnett and family; I have
known them eight or ten years; part of this
time we lived just across the street from each
other; Miss Julia was a little girl five or six
years old when I first knew her; they lived
iu the SAine house with rue just after the
I storm in Auburn; I think they lived in my
house about one month; they lived just
across the street from me about a year; they
then moved off some 400 or 500 yards, but
in the same village; I think they lived in this
second place some two years; I have one
daughter: Miss Julia Barnett was frequently
at my house; there was frequent
visiting between the families; she
may have been five or six, or may be
seven or eight years old when she staid at my
house; I think I know her character as a
pure, chaste and refined young lady; it is
good, I know the society in which they moved
from Augusta and other points in Georgia.
The managers of the State Iioad readily con
sented to allow the beautitul car, “State of
Georgia,” to go with the party to Columbus,
Kentucky. Ail were determined to do their
full share to render the excursion what it was
iutended, a “pleasure trip.” The ride from
Atlanta to Chattanooga being in the night, of
course nothing was to be seen.
AT CHATTANOOGA.
At o'clock Monday morning we arrived at
Chattanooga, stopping only long enough to
transfer baggage and our car to the Nashville
road. The ride from Chattanooga to Nash
ville was pleasant: the scenery is picturesque,
first through a deep gorge, then around the
foot of mountains, through levels and over
summits. In passing so rapidly through this
mountain scenery we were newly impressed
with the terrible power of the Gr£at Creator
ot the Universe. The terrible convulsions of
nature that made this scenery so beautiful,
speaking through those mountains silently
but more impressively than man can.
The Nashville and Chattanooga road is in
good order, and the trains make fast time,
but the cars are much below the average of
first-class roads, and inexcusably dirty. The
managers are censureable for this, and we
shaii gladly note improvement in this direc
tion. We arrived
AT NASHVILLE
at 1 p. m. ; found much excitement on account
of the cholera, and many leaving the city. Our
stop was only half an hour—much to the re
lief of oar party. From Nashville to Colum
bus, Ky., we passed over the Northwestern
road at a rapid speed—over thirty miles per
hour. This road is very straight but pretty
rough—passing through much new country.
Nothing worthy of special interest, except per
haps the bridge across the Tennessee at John-
sonville, which is very high above the water,
affording a fine view of the river and sur
rounding country. The cotton and corn gen
erally looks well, the wheat and oats poor. ^ ^
' Barnetts; this was the second conversation
on the river. . between myself and Mr. P.; it was some time
At Columbus we reached the river, and a ! in April, I think the latter part; Mr. P. said
ride of two hours to Cairo, on board the beau-^ that he told Mrs. his wife, to tell Mrs.
visited them frequently herein Opelika; Mrs.
Barnett’s family and my awn were very inti
mate; Mrs. Barnett’s children were all .pets
of mine, bat more especially Miss Julia,-who
was the youngest; I know Mr. John D.
Hooper; 1 think I have known him four or
five years; I think I know his character as a
peaceable, moral and law abiding citizen; it
is good, I think; I knew Mr. T, H. Phillips:
I had known him a long time; he was a man
of good size; 1 think he would have weighed
one hundred aDd seventy-five pounds; he
was a short man; considerably larger than
Mr. Hooper; I should think Mr. Phillips was
the stronger man: he was apparently much
stronger than Mr. Hooper; Mr. Phillips is
dead; he was killed on the 22d of May; I talked
with Mr. P. about Miss Barnett and Hooper;
in the first conversation with Mr. Phillips
there were no Dames mentioned; but he told
me that he had seen certain parties go be
yond. north of, and back of his lot; I asked
him who they were but he refused to tell me;
in a day or two afterwards I saw Mr. P. on
the street and asked him to go with me into
my office; he went with me; I laid to Mr. P.
that I had learned from another source, who
I thought he alluded to; I told him I had
heard it was Mr. Hooper and Miss Barnett,
and he replied that they were the parties.
He said that he knew Mr. Hooper bat did not
know the young lady; he said that alter they
started this way back to the road that he
came around to the street; he said
that he saw a young lady or ladies.
(I am not certain which,) and asked them
why they were not out walking this beautiful
evening (he said it was Sunday,) and they
replied that they had no one to walk with
them, or something like that; I think he said
he asked them if somebody had not shortly
before walked by them; I think he mentioned
the name of Miss Dozier as one of the young
ladies; he said that they replied, there was a
couple had just walked by ; he asked if they
knew them, and Miss Dozier said it was Mr.
Hooper and, she thought, one of the Miss
tiful steamer “Illinois,” was extremely pleas
ant. A good wash, a good supper, and a
general inspection was had by some of the
party, of the steamer from the deck to the
pilot house. The pilot intimated that if one
of the ladies was not competent to manage a
steamer, it was because she had for
gotten the answer to her question
he th nks about four hundred, it was a
lovely moonlight evening, and our party were
happy, very happy. At eleven o’clock p. m ,
we left Cario for Chicago, on the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad, which seems faultless in its
management. The road bed is ballasted with
stones, at a cost of over two thousand dollars
Cunningham not to let her daughter visit
Mrs. Barnett any more; he said that the first
he knew it wa3 Barnett was when Miss Dozier
told him; he then told me that he saw them
go down behind his garden; that he and his
wife were standing in the garden or field in
the lower part of their enclosure, and that he
saw these parties, Mr. Hooper and the lady,
who he afterwards learned was Miss Barnett;
Mr. P. told his wife to tell Mrs. Cunning
ham not to allow her daughters to visit
Mrs. Barnett any more, but he did not tell
me; that he told his wife to say anything to
Mrs. Cunningham about what he had said or
if he told me, I don’t recollect it; he said he
per mile; it is straight and smooth and the saw these parties, Mr. Hooper and the lady
trains ran at a rapid rate. The country is j who he learned was Miss Barnett, pass down
mostly fiat prairie, the soil black and rich;
wheat and com fields as far as the eye can see
in all directions—both looking well—much of
the last crop of corn is still visible, and
during the past winter rnach corn was
used for feul—not unfrequently the loco
motives filling their tenders with corn
instead of wood, the corn being the cheaper,
and the conductor of the line informs ns,
better for makiog steam.
THE COUNTRY LS THICKLY
studded with towns and villages. Every
where the snug schoolhouse and the little
ichite church tells us that the settler remem
bers Him who has so richly blessed His
children—well cultivated and well stocked
farms evidence the thrift and comfort found j
only in farming regions. Illinois, bnt a few
years since, was in the “Far West;” to-day
Is one of the great central States of the
Northwest. Rarely have we seen a
country more suggestive of real and
increasing wealth than these broad
prairies at this season of the year, with the
fields of waving grain miles and miles away.
Passing on with lightning speed from town to
town, gradually nearing the city, leaving be
hind the ruder houses of the country, and
passing the grander residences. The day
was a long one. On every band Natare’s
beauty met the eye, and
THE WILD PRAIRIE FLOWERS
of a thousand hues seem more attractive than
many floral gardens in the olc'er States; and
when showers have moistened the eaath, or
the morning dew is sparkling, there is more
of real beauty—more of that spirit pervading
the 7ery atmosphere around us, tending to
make us better men and women, than can be
found in city life; and the memory of those
scenes will long remain in the minds of those
travelers |wbo make the journey when nature
is clothed in her lobe of summer.
We have briefly sketched the trip here and
-will write from here the further movements
,oionr party.
THE EXCURSION.
This excursion was gotten up by Mr. Good-
now, Southern Manager of the Republic Life
Insurance Company. His arrangements for
the trip were complete, nothing forgotten and
nothing wanting that could add to our com
fort or pleasnre, and from our leaving Atlanta
till we wore pleasantly located in tnis magnifi
cent hotel, his attentions to the party have
been constant and untiring. Oar party had
been announced and provisions made for our
comfort. How we impress the people of the
West, remains to be seen; how they impress
os, I will tell yon in a future letter. R.
qirl from another source, and I took Phillips
into my office for the purpose of talking with
him about it. Iu the last conversation we
had, he, Phillips, said that he wanted peace,
and requested me to say so to Johnnie
Hooper.
The Court here adjouned until 8:30 the next
morning.
Saturday, June 14, 1873.
CROSS EXAMINATION OF DR. COBB RESUMED.
I told Phillips that Dr. Mizell had been
talking of this occurrence which took place
behind his garden, and Phillips said that
he was going to see Dr. Mizell and get him
to stop it. This was the second conversation
Phillips either said that he had told or would
tell Dr. Mizell that he, Phillips, could not
substantiate this- inasmuch as that he only
kuew Mr. Hooper; I had two conversations
with Phillips on this subject, and in the last
conversation he said that he had told Dr.
Mizell this about substantiating the charge;
I never communicated anything to Mr. Hooper
that I learned in any of these three conversa
tions; Mr. P. said that he went to Mr. H. and
told him that he had better be more particu
lar, and then related to him that he had seen
him go behind his lot with a young lady. Mr;
Hooper asked him what lady he referred to.
Mr. Phillips replied that he did not know the
lady himself, but that Miss Dozier had told
him that she thought it was one of the Miss
Barnetts. Mr. P. told me that Mr. H. got mad
then; that if he insinuated that it was Miss Bar
nett that he would shoot his head off; P replied,
that is a game that two could play at, and
added, if you were to kill me, you would not
want to kill three women; he said that H.
asked him if the women saw it; P. said that
they did; he said that then Mr. H. quieted
down and asked not to say anything about it;
Mr. Phillips said that he and Johnnie had
this conversation in Col. Hooper’s office on
Monday, the 7th of April, 1873; Mr. Phillips
told me in the same conversation that ho told
Hooper, in that conversation, that he went to
him as a father and not to get mad about it;
I do not recollect his saying to me “that he
told Johnnie that he was a triend to him and
the whole Hooper family;” I did not see
which way Hooper went; fie left the private
office and went out of the front door of the
court-house; Mr. Phillips told mein all these
three conversations that he wanted to settle
the matter peaceably; he did not tell me in
these three conversations “that he had seen
what he said he saw, and that he could not
lie about it; in the first conversation with
Phillips, he refused to tell me the names of
the parties; I asked him, but he refused to
tell me. In. the second conversation, when I
asked him into my office, just as soon as he
m cut in, I told him that I had heard the namf s
of tfie parties, and he admitted that he knew
Johnnie Hooper, but did not know of himself
who the lady was, but only from hearsay. I
don’t thiok 1 said any more to him than I
have stated before he admitted what is above
stated. Mr. Phillips said that he did not
know the girl at all, but that he had learned
her name trom other parties. I dont think I
said to Mr Phillips, before he told me that
these were the parties, that he need have no
fear about telling me who the parties were;
that I would not tell it, and that I had already
learned their names. To the best of my reco •
lection I have stated all that passed between
Phillips and myself in these three conversa
tions. In none of the three conversations did
I mention to Mr. Phillips that I had kissed
the girl myself. In none ot the three conver
sations did I tell Mr. Phillips what the girl
had done to me just after I had finished work
ing on her teeth. Since the 7th of April there
have been a number of unusually hard rainp.
Re-examined—Mr. Phillips said that Mr.
Hooper a6ked him what lady or girl that was
that he referred to, and Mr. Phillips told him
that Miss Dozier said it was one of the Miss
Barnetts; he said that Johnnie Hooper got
mad then, and said you cannot insinuate any
thing about her; this is my best recollection
of the language; I think that in this same
conversation Mr. Phillips told me that he
thought Mr. Hooper was satisfied; that the
explanation made by Phillips satisfied Mr.
Hooper. G. S. Cobb.
through a vacant lot on Sunday the 6th of
April about an hour by sun, and went back of
his lot near Mr. Terrill's lake, aboat thirty or
forty yards ahead of the lake; the young lady
was a little in advance; she got down and
was then out of sight; Mr. Hooper did the
same; they remained there a short while and
got up and Mr. Hooper brushed the leaves or
dirt off of her dress; I don’t recollect anything
else in this conversation; he said that he told
bis wife to tell Mrs. Cunninghim not to let her
daughter visit Mrs. Barnett any more on ac
count of what he bad seen; he said that he went
to the spot; he said that he went to the spot
after they went away; he could not teil from
the appearance of the place whether they fiad
laid down or sat down; he went there the same
evening; I asked him it he saw anything which
would snow that anything wrong was done,
and he said not; I then asked him if he saw
any sign which look suspicious, he said he did
not; in that conversation he said nothing
about his ability to defend himself if sued;
we had several conversations before he ever
said anything about a suit; not a great while
before Mr. P.’s death, about the time Mr.
Hooper was starting oft, Mr. P. mentioned to
me that if he got into a difficulty he had en
gaged CoL Barnes to defend him; the day
Mr. P. was killed, he came to me and askt d
me to go to Mr. Hooper’s office; he said he
thought Johnnie was there; 1 was going there
to talk with Johnnie; that was the under
standing between Mr. P. any myself; I
wanted to find out wbat kind of a
talk to make with Johnnie, and I stated
to Mr.P. that 1 had learned that Dr. Mizell had
been saying something about it, and in case
that suit was brought against him I asked Mr.
P. what proof could be made to sustain Dr.
Mizell? He said that he knew Johnnie
Hooper, but did not know the young lady ex
cept as told to him, and that ho bad cautioned
him (Dr. Mizell) to stop talking ; that he
might get himself into trouble. I mentioned
to Phillips that Dr. Mizell had been talking
a good deal about this same thing, and I
asked Phillips if suit for slander was brought
against Mizell; if he Phillips could biing suf
ficient proof to sustain Mizell; and he said
he could not I asked Mr. P. what proof he
could make to defend such suit successfully.
Mr. Phillips requested me to go to Hooper
and say to him, “that if he, Hooper,” would
say that he went there with any other woman,
or lewd woman, that the woman who had seen
it wouldn’t know any better, and that he,
Phillips wouldn’t deny it. This was the
proposition by Phillips for a settlement be
tween Hooper and Phillips, and was mention-
ep to me by Phillips about eleven a. h , of the
day he was killed. 1 found out the name of the
Deep Sea Fishing.—The Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune says that
General Grant “probably entertains no no
tion of running again, and if he did, would
be obliterated,” but flops out Mr. Secretary
Fish as the coming icthus. Saith he (very ir
reverently, by the way,):
“Do you know that old Fish is amongst the
volunteers for the Presidency ?” said a high
official to me a week ago. “By George, his
prospects are as good as any of them. Sup
pose the money interest of the country throws
the vote in ’76, as it did without division in
’72, wouldn’t it pitch upon Fish as about the
8ifest man m the Cabinet? And he has got
to every honor by the silent slide he is wait
ing to take now. Governor of New York,
Senator and Secretary of State, he occupied
all these places almost without a canvass.
His place is about the only one in the country
where he might have a positive policy, and at
the right time, by a pop at Mexico, or some
other port, get the veering and volatile half
of mankind enthusiastic for him. And do
you notice that, whereas he had given up his
house, and declared in solemn earnest that
he would leave Washington at the beginning
of the second term, he has now retaken the
Morgan mansion, and his wife has exerted
herself this winter as never before to enter
tain with cost and splendor unequalled here ?
Grant is giving Fish more of his time than he
used to. They ride out together, and look
owly.”

Love Opposed—Whipping her Daughter.
Middletown, O., June 4.—A Mrs. Nicols,
who keeps a millinery store here, is possessed
of a handsome daughter, who of late has ac
cepted the attentions of a young man worthy
of her esteem, though not quite so accepta
ble to her parents. Yesterday morniug the
young folks met at the post-office and after a
short conversation separated, the young lady
returning home. Her mother having dis
covered whom she had been with, proceeded
to carry out her often-repeated threat to whip
her every time she went with that James.
She locked up her stere, took her daughter
up stairs, made her take off her dress, and
then applied the lash until the purple welts
burst and the crimson fluid strickled from
the terrible wounds. The fainting girl was
then pat to bed, where she still lies a prey to
her mother's malice.

Ranees of the last Rajah of Eragpore, died on
the third of May,”

word “trousseau” plain as a pikestaff in con
nection with certain bridal presents. The
printer, however, vulgarly put it “trousers.”
