A IVoman'it Prolt-it. Down With the Balloonalics. 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: Forest Grove PLANTATION. ’I'llat Hriinery. A Virginian Asks Some Questions. We have received the following letter from a gentleman in Virginia, and publish it in the hope that some of our readers will answer the questions he puts therein. It may lead to business: Halifax C. II., Va., August 1, 1873. To the Editors of the Herald : Dear Sirs—In the Wnig of the 23d ultimo I notice an article taken from your paper, in regard to the establishment of a hennery near your city, and write to request of you the particulars in the matter, viz : What is the demand for eggs ; how many hotels, boarding houses, etc., iu the town; i:; there any thing of the kind carried on in the vicinity; does chickens have cholera with you; what are chickens and eggs worth per dozen ; conld there be a suitable situation procured lor that business, and at wba* cost per acre, some two or three miles from the city V Also, what could corn and oats be bought for a bushel ? If you know of any firm of the kind please cive me name and address, so that I may get j ooupermon from them any information desired. j Credit, by t>: By answering immediately, you wili greatly oblige, Voids, very respectfully, A. G. Dool. Halifax C. H., Va. 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 chiefly 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 LITTLE BILL. The United Spates to F. Steele, I r. Jan. 14, 1868. To uao and occupation of Fort Snelling reser vation for military purposes, from April 24. 1801, to January 24, 1868—81 mouth*, at $2,- mont h -s $ 162,000 ■aUnce of purchase money un paid <0.000 Total da 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. T his magnificent plantation, lung o the Etow ah river, five miles from K'.ngaior, is Offered for Sale At a very low price—$8,000. It contains 335 Acres of File Lai!
