A IVoman'it Prolt-it.

Atlanta, Ga., August 4, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald:
Please call attention in your columns to the
danger of sending up illuminated balloons.
It is a pleasant amusement, but one that is
dangerous also. One was sent up in my
neighborhood a few nights ago. It caught
on fire, and descending fell on the wood-pile
in my yard and set it on fire. Now, if no one
had been present to check the flames, or if it
had fallen on the house, the result might
have been serious. Yours, respectfully,
Mrs. Holley.
The St. Paul Dispatch of the 19th instant
contains an elaborate article exposing what is
known as the “Fort Snelling Swindle,” in
which it shows, and very conclusively, by
facts, figures and other authentic data, how
Major General Frank Steele, at one time an
officer in the volunteer army of the United
States, got 6,300 acres of Government land
for nothing, and subsequently charged the
United States $102,000 for taking it The ar
ticle in the Dispatch says:
Within the past month the greater part of
the Fort Snelling reservation has been sold at
public auction. Three thousand acres were
sold for $200,000. The balance unsold is
worth as much more. It has been whispered
quietly all oyer the State that this affair was
a fraud, that there was a woolly head under
the woodpile, that our “Tammany King” had
made a “big thing” out of Uncle Sam. Many
have been the chuckles, nods, and winks of
those in the ring.
Being always anxious to furnish the people
with the facts in reference to snch matters,
the Disparch has, by its Washington agent’s
diligent study of the papers on file in the War
Department, been enabled to lay before its
roadeis the facts in reference to this tranac-
tion. They reveal one of the most shameful
cases of fraud ever practiced on the American
people.
The article concludes as follows:

We have received the following letter from

THE UNITED STATES ROPED IN.
Finally about January, 1862, an order was
obtained from the War Department at Wash
ington, designating Fort Snelling as the re
cruiting rendezvous of the State militia and
volunteers. The trap was sprung, the thing
was fixed ! Frank Steele was deriving an im
mense income from the ferry at Fort Snelling.
The travel to and from the fort was enormous.
Strings of half a mile long of vehicles had to
wait to take their turns in crossing. Frank
was quietly charging up his rent to the gov
ernment.
The next necessity was that the War De
partment should look favorably upon Steele’s
game. As long as Secretary Stanton held that
place, bis clear perceptions and unflinching
integrity prevented action satisfactory to the
grabbers. But they were patient. They
waited until long after the war closed. They

RELIED T'PON ALEXANDER RAMSEY.
They could help him with Democratic
votes in the Legislature and with sham Dem
ocratic papers, and Ramsey could help them
by advising, as he did, the Secretary' of War
to settle the difficulty “ upon an equitable
basis!” The conspiracy triumphed at last.
Frank Steele drew up the following

IniiiMii Spring!.
Gossip—Brunettes and Blondes- The Crops.
Indian Springs, Ga., August 2, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald:
I have heard a great deal of talk, and read
almost as much, about the “Indian,” and at
last I am where I can see it. I reached For
syth the wrong time for the stage, but through
the kindness of Mr. Grier, the proprietor of
the hotel in Forsyth and stage line, I was on
my way in the early morn, in a buggy drawn
by an old stager. I reached the Springs
about eleven o’clock, and retired to a comfor
table room and prepared for dinner. The bell
sounded about one o’clock, and as I was a
little—a very little—hungry, I instantly
sought the dining hall. On my entrance I
was surprised to find nearly every seat in the
hall filled, and more people about the office
waiting. As I sat with my back to most
ot the house, I could not see who was
here, so I quietly enjoyed my meal.
When this was over, as I had
learned that the custom was to spend most of
the eve in sleeping, and as my trunk had not
yet made its appearance, I again went to my
room, and—well, I slept.
Friday night most of the ladies, in fact all,
put on their best “get-nps” and made their
appearance about nine o’clock in the dancing
hall, looking as happy as if each expected to
meet some sweetheart, (that’s rather a hard
name for a man) and as beautiful as a lady-
can look. Your humble correspondent, in his
best “Snnday-go-to meetin,” was on hand,and
did his best to see who was prettiest, sweetest
and most loveable, but signally failed; so I
can only tell you who was there, and what I
heard said about some of the dancers. Your
sister city, Macon, sent a lovely delegation,
and one lady, only just arrived, is taking all
by storm, no one, not evenjold men that have
seen tlieir day, can resist those eyes of hers.
Miss A. L. is indeed beautiful, and
some say she is the belle, although just
arrived. Then we have Misses F. R. and L. R.
one a beautiful blonde, who is creating a great
doal of admiration here, as she does every
where else—and the last a brunette, who is,
beyond any doubt, very pretty, and one who
will attract attention in any assembly, even
where the most bcautilol ladies may be". Ma
con has also in attendance Miss J. H., a young
lady just coming out, who will one day lead
troops of the sterner sex in her train. She
does not lack for attention even now. There
is also Misses R. H. and S. H., both of whom
are beautiful ladies. Griffin comes in well
with Miss E. F., who has attracted a great
deal of attention, and well deserves it all, and
more. Some of the boys “swear by” Miss S.
B.. from the same place, and say that she
will do. And last, though by do means least,
comes that little city way down in the woods —
Albany. To say she is well represented does
not, as the boys say, do ber any justice.
From all I beard, I rather fear that the English
language, that has so many words, will give out
and that infatuated crowds of men will have to
learn some other tongue to sing the praises of
Miss M. R. Nearly the first thing I heard on
my arrival was, “ Have you seen Miss M. R.:
she8 the Belle.” When I met her, I could
not help seeing that she was as beautiful as
any one could wish, and she can make any one
feel happy while listening to her sweet voice.
It is said that one poor fellow, after being
with her a short while, conld not resist her
smiles and soft eyes any longeT, so be told ber
that his futare happiness all depended upon
her; the last heard of him, he was threaten
ing to invest in a dime’s worth of deadly poi
son—oh, poor fellow. Miss C., from the
same place, comes in for her share of atten
tion, and deserves well of it
The ladies were all dressed beautifully in
silks, laces, and all those things that a pretty
lady can make look so well—of course the fine
dress added nothing to the beauty of the fair
ones. Every one of them wore their sweetest
smiles, and I thought each one was for me:
but things and people change, and I changed
my mind.
Mr. Collier, of the McIntosh House, treated
me most beautifully, and what pleased most
fed me exceedingly well. His waiters are at
tentive, and one feels happy and contented—
at least I did while in the dining hall. Every
one knows that the Indian Spring water is
good as can be found anywhere—at least of
its kind—so I’ll say no more of it The
scenery is by no means bad, and some of it is
really beautiful. Taken altogether it is a very
pretty little place. It deserves well of the
patronage of all Georgians, and any one else
that may feel inclined to travel down this way.
There are more here this year than fora good
many years passed, and some think that it
will be extensively patronized in future. If
there was only a railroad to the place, every
room would be filled each summer.
The crops, what I could see of them on tbe
road, were not as fine as could be wished for,
and yet they do not look badly. 1 heard of
no caterpillars, but as I rode along the road I
saw some of these detestable little flies, and I
guess you may hear of some destruction soon.
^ l have poen through some portions of south
west Georgia, and as here the crops look fine,
but seem to have lacked proper cultivation,
os more or less grass is seen. The corn crop
is good most every where I have been.
Well, I guess this is as much as you wish,
so I’ll close. I’ll mail you this from Macon,
or your own city, as I wili leave here to-rnoz-
row lor one of the two places. It I come to
Atlanta you may find that you know, or at
any rate you will know more of
Gus.
$102,000 I
THE GRAB FOBBED.
The War Department, under Gen. Belknap,
allowed this bill for “rent.” It took back
one thousand ocres immediately arouud the
fort; it paid back the thirty thousand dollars
received from Steele, and now, within a few
days back, Steele has sold one-half of the
property for two hundred thousand dollars.
The other half is divided by the conspirators,
being worth another two hundred thousand
dollars.
This fraud has robbed the United States of
landed property worth four hundred thou
sand dollars, for which they received nothing
—for the thirty thousand dollar instalment
was offset by the loss of tbe ferry earningB,
rents and other profits, which, by right, be
longed to the United States. As the six thou
sand three hundred seres have sold at the
rate of four hundred thousand dollars, the
United States paid one hundred and thirty-
three thousand dollars a year rent for its own
property, for which it had never been paid,
and of which it bad never made any convej’-
ance to the party claiming rent. In other
words, the party that owns the land pays rent
to the man that doesn’t own it, and the man
that doesn’t own it collects enough for
what he has no light to rent to pay for
the whole property. If the fraud were not so
enormous, the farce would be laughable be
yond measure.
CONCLUSIONS.
We don’t blame Frauk Steele so much as
tbe War Department. He is a respectable ad
venturer, and his idea of a government is
something to be preyed upon. There is, how
ever, no limit to the blame deserved by a de
partment which either from folly or corrup
tion, would consummate such rascality. And,
more than all, we blame Alexander Ramsey
who, when conferred with by the War De,
partmc nt, and knowing the whole history of
the fraud, should, from either cowardly or
corrupt motives, have permitted such villainy
to triumph, not only without a woid of pro
test, but with his assent and connivance.
Steele may be out of the reach of the law.
He has pocketed his plunder and is laughing
at the people.
