\Ti.ANtA Ga., July 10th, 1S72.
After spending several days recruit
ing and ruraliSing in Matjison and vi
cinity, I have just reached the “ Gate
City,” and have time and strength on
ly to drop you a few lines, for this
week’s paper.
The Greeley debauchery i- complet
ed, and it noui teems the duty of those,
who, from devotion to principle, have
opposed and sought to prevent it, to
acquiesce in the humiliating consum
mation. If the result brings disaster
or shame, the record will fix the re
sponsibility where it belongs, and its
authors and abettors are welcome to
all resultant honors and emoluments.
The surrender seems complete—em
bracing not only the acceptance, bv
the National Democratic party—so-
called—of Mr. Greeley, but the en
dorsement of the Republican platform
of Cincinnati without alternation or
addition. .Such astounding abandon
ment of principle and of party organ
ization, surely absolves every true
Democrat from an}’ real obligation to
support the ticket; but as there is not at
present any other place of congenial
alliance, it may be wise, irudent, aud
patriotic for tiiose who have still abid
ing faith in Democratic principles, to
await with patieut endurance the re
sults of the present temporizing expe
dient.
The nomination meets with not the
slightest manifestation of approval
here. Many prominent men whom I
have met hang their heads in mortift-
their own private affaire, and therefore
trusty custodians of the funds of others.
They have shown their faith in the
undertaking by taking $50,000 in
stock themselves. This fact alone is
sufficient guarantee that the affairs of
the road will be prudently managed.
About §228,000 in bona fide stock
has been subscribed iu all. It is the
policy of the Board not to commence
operations until at least §250,000 have
been subscribed. We doubt not that
if the proper efforts are made, the ad
ditional amount to make this sum can
be raised in Athens, in a short time.
This, with the 815,000 per mile of
State aid, will build the road, if not
another dollar is subscribed. But it
is not the intention of the Directors to
avail themselves of the State aid, ex
cept so far as it is absolutely neces
sary. They desire to make it an in
dependent, individual enterprise, and
it is highly probable that before the
work is finished, the company will he
able to surrender the bonds of the
State, as did the Airline road.
We learn that the Board of Direc
tors have elected Dr. J. A. Hunnicutt
in place of Mr. R. L. Bloomfield, re
signed; and Judge Jeff’. Jennings in
place of Dr. Willingham, deceased.

Important to Fruit Distillers.
—We are informed that, according to
recent enactments and regulations, the
following requirements and changes in
the law relating to fruit distillers are
now in force, viz:,
That part of the new internal reve-
dences of organized opposition, and I
trust there will be none.
The coming nomination for Gover
nor is exciting increasing interest, and
MavorJJames is developing considera
ble strength. He is personally popu
lar, a man of good character, and fine
business qualities; but tho friends of
Gov. Smith, while admitting this, do
not see that he has any advantage over
the present incumbent which justifies
a refusal tj endorse his brief adminis
tration by a renomination. The chief
opponents of Smith appear to be those
who have in some way been disappoint
ed in the discretion he has exercised in
dispensing patronage, or official fa
vors, or the partial friends of other as.
pirants. It is rumored that Hon. A.
R Wright, of Rome will be an inde
pendent candidate.
The State Road Lease is looming up
as a coming issue. There are grave
charges of fraud and threats of break
ing up the lease. This is a question
to be met without passion, or mere
party prejudice. If there was fraud,
it should lie exposed, and the authors
punished. If the security of the lease
is not good, it should he made so ; but
a reckless purpose to break up the
lease from mere opposition to the mode
in which it was obtained or the men
who obtained it—regardless of the in
terests of the State—is unworthy of
l^egislntive consideration. The great
•questions are not, did the lessees get it
too cheap or by bribery, hut would the
State have done better to have leased
it to others, or not to have leased it at
nil; and also, whether, even if the
lease was a bad bargain then, would it
he wise now to hreak it. The lessees
have secured controlling Western lines,
which they now use as feeders and al
lies of the Road, which will take a vast
amount of the Western business over
other lines, if the lease is disturbed.—
They have spent two or three hun
dred thousand dollars—or more—in
preparing for the increased business
irom these feeders, which would have
to bo paid for out cf the Treasury, and
much of which was for material which
Mould not be needed if the feeders re-
terred to were lost, and the road left to
.staud on its own merits. If the lease
ia taken away, the next best thing is to
cell the road. No party is pure en
ough to withstand the demoralizing in
finance of its patronage. I have not
been interviewed by the leasees; but
effect August 1st, 1872. It abolishes
the special tax or license of $50 per
annum, and provides that the fees for
gauging shall be paid by the United
States. It also raises the tax on the
brandy distilled from 50 to 75 coats
per gallon. These are the only chang
es—in all other respects the require
ments of the old law will continue in
force, and they are substantially as
follows :
The distiller must give written no
tice to the assistant assessor, register
with him his stills, and give bond.—
The penal sum of this bond will, on
all small distilleries, be about $5.00
In addition, he must keep a book, the
form of which is prescribed by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
and from this book make monthly re
turns to the assistant assessor. His
distillery must also be surveyed, hut
this will be done at the expense of the
United States. The lax of 70 cents
per gallon is paid by stamps, which
the distiller purchases from the col
lector. These stamps must he affixed
to the barrels containing the brandy
(and cmcelled) before it can be sold
or removed from the distillery.
Parties intending to distill should
give notice at once, so ns to give time
for the arranging of all preliminary
papers.
to rescue the man. About three hun
dred feet from the top of the moun
tain they came to him. He was lying
in a gulch, or water-course furrowed
out of the rock by rains. One foot
was jammed in a crevice, and the other
bent under his body. He was hug
ging the rock closely, while one hand
was grasped in the strap on the collar
ot his c.oat. A small tablet of rocks,
two or three feet long, and a foot or so
wide, was all that was between him
and a fall of sorag twelve hundred feet to
the ground. Had he moved two or
three feet, either to the right or left,
he would have been
precipitated twelve iiundre d
feet
to the bottom, and only a horrible
mass would have been fouud to tell the
tale.
He had lain there from Friday
evening late until Saturday evening
about 5 o’clock, a period of nearly
twenty-four hours. His anxieties
and
SUFFERINGS WERE INTENSE
no doubt. His feet were swollen,
lacerated and blistered by the hot
rocks; the sun poured upon him its
fiercest rays, causing the most excru
ciating thirst, and producing almost
• tire blindness. Death seemed to stair
him in the lace on all sides. Return,
without friendly aid, he could not.—
He was afraid to move either to the
right or left, or get up, for that ter
rible fall was beneath him. Without
succor, he must die a lingering, tor
turing death of thirst aud starvation.
In adjusting the rope several rocks
were in the way and tearing that the
rope might dislodge them and bring
them down ou. the unfortunate man,
they were removed and thrown off in
such a direction as not to strike on the
spot occupied by the man. With
crashing noise they rolled to the brow
of the precipice on a line with him,
add then pranged down that terriffi
distance burying themselves iu the
earth at the base.
Reaching the place, the rope was put
around the man, and assisted by Col
onel J. T. Willingham, he was con
ducted to a place of safety, and Mr.
Willingham returned then and assis
ted Mr. Juhan to get hack. Upon
reaching the summit the rescued man
was so thirsty that he would have emp
tied a bucket of water at one or two
draughts had he been suffered *odo so.
was carried to Colonel Willingham’s
store and cared for. Much praise isdue
Major Steward, Colonel Willingham
and F. P. Julian for their praise worthy
and humane efforts.
HOW THE MAN GOT THERE.
On Friday evening, the man alluded

The New Radical Methodist
Bishop for Georgia*—The St.
Louis Christian Advocate publishes a
sharp and pointed criticism on the new
emissary of Northern Methodism who
is ordered to this State; The descrip
tion of this Bishop is mutilated by
shortening it; but as a passing minor
topic, and as a castigation richly de
served, from all accounts, it is too vig
orous and to the point to lie entirely
lost. “ Bishop uHven is our old ac
quaintance of Zion's Herald, the most
ultra of negroists and absurd of coun
sellors to be found in the Radical Meth
odist Chureh. Bishop Haven pro
fesses to believefthat it is a sin against
God to demur to the marriage of ne
groes and whites. He asserts that the
mulatto race is an improvement upon
the whites. He affects great admira
tion for the negro form and complex
ion. He ascribes to him', more and
intellectual qualities of higher flavor.—
Bishope Haven will appoint black
preachers to white churches and in all
Villa Rica, Carroll county, went on the
top of Stone Mountain, taking with
him a bottle of whisky. He drank
rather freely, and perhaps, was light
headed. He started down in search of
the
“ DEVIL’S CROSS ROADS,”
and finding the decent hecoming ab
rupt, he pulled off his boots. He had
not gone far when he recollects falling
and scrambling. His boots were found
hy Master George Jones, with nn empty
bottle, at the foot of a radar tree, some
ore hundred feet above where Mc
Carty was found. Hence it is supposed
that he fell and scrambled together
some forty or fifty feet. He recollects
leaving his boots there. The accident
occured about night.
REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
It ia doubtless one of the most mir-
culoiis escapes from death on record,
when it is considered that death seemed
inevitable from falling down the steep
or from starvation, or that he should
fall that distance and escape without
serious injury. That this providen
tial escape will have its influence on
him we cannot doubt. He expressed
a desire, as soon as he got safely to the
top, to join a temperance society.—
This sermon on the mount to him is
more effective than a hundred temper
ance lectures. Sunday he left for
home.—Atlanta Constitution.
so here goes.
There are a great many kinds of
doctors—big doctors and small doctors,
old school doctors, doctors cf the utw
school, and doctors without any school
ing Whatsoever. - '
There are doctors oTlaWsuialf doer
tors of sou.vin-laws. ear doctors
aud doctors difficult to get the ear of;
tooth doctors, nail doctors, and doctors
who go at you tooth aud.nail; eye
doctors aud I. O. U. doctor^.; eclectic
doctors, electric doctors and doctors
not of the elect, who go it mostly on
tick.
Thus we have cold water doctors
and doctors who “ straw” it a good
deal, root doctors and donctors whose
motto is “ Root, hog, or die!”
Suiritual doctors, and doctors very
much out of spirits; magnetic doctors,
and doctors who haven’t any inaguet-
ism in them—or much else ; layiug-on-
of-hands doctors, and doctors who will
take anything they can lay their hands
on, except, perhaps, their own physic.
Sweat doctors are numerous. If
they don’t sweat their patients, their
pitients sometimes make them sweat.
And there are few doctors who are net
compelled to sweat around u good
deal to get their pay.
Vtnong Indian doctors are the full-
bred, half-bred, corn-bred, and doctors
never bred at all—at least npt bred to
medicine—the latter class being far
the most numerous. As a general
thing Indian doctors know nothing
whatever about Indians many of
them never saw one. But that s
nothing strange in mediejne. Men
have practiced medicine all, their lives
without enjoying the slightest ac
quaintance with it.
Herb doctors are popularly suppos
ed to spend a large portion of their
time in meandering through the fields
culling herbs. Nothing ofthe sort.—
Lots of them wouldn’t khpw^tnip
from “ pennyrile’’ if they saw them
growing. They cull their herbs at the
druggist’s.
There are lung doctors and doctors
with very little lungs, although tolera
ble livers. Doctors are good livers us
a general thing.
The throat doctor appears in a var
iety of forms not recognized in niedi-
ciue. The hangman is the most thor
ough throat doctor we have. Ilis
remedy—a stricture of hemp—rarely
fails to cure even the most obstinate
throat difficulty. Few persons have
ever been heard to complain of their
throat after the first application.
Barkeepers are another variety of
throat doctors, whose mixtures, also,
arc too familiar to many people. Cold
water is the safest thing for the throat
os an inward application.
Pepper doctors were quite popular
some years ago. They don’t pepper
us near so much as they did, though
many doctors are peppery enough.
Mustard doctors are in tlie army for
the most part, unless they are muster
ed out.
Cancer doctors are almost as numer
ous as caucers themselves. Every
cancer doctor exhibits so many cancers
has taken out that I have some
times wondered if they didn’t take it
out in cancers. I was once shown a
tumor so large, I asked the doctor, if
space was valuable, why he didn’t
stick his patient away in a glass jar
aud let the tumor walk around.
Movement doctors are trying hard

FINE TOBACCO.
I lf you want fine chewing tobacco,
iTall at
to get up a movement, bait, 'bless you,
the old-fitsioned pill doetor^areytn; -
ahead of them. They are the original
movement doctors. - ' f
Coni doctors should not be over
looked. Some of th$ni are very
killful in taking off a .corn. A corn
doctor took off a corn for nife once, and
he took it off so far it was nearly a
week before it got back again.
No man who hasn’t horse sense lias
any business trying to be a horse doc
tor, although be may get a diploma to
doctor men. Even the constitution of
horse may be broken down by un
skillful treatment, yet in selecting a
lysicinn for ourselves we occasionally
rget that. The horse doctor some
times gets more kicks than coppers,
though he is one of the few privileged
persons who is excused for lookiug a
gift horse in the mouth.
The healthiest town- J[ .ever knew
was out in Illinois, last Sttmmelywhen
the doctors went East to attend a med
ical convention, neglectirig to return
for several months. - The doctors
found -when . they did’getj back that
ftieir j aticut* Imd all- recovered, tlic
drug store* Imd bursted, uiir es bad
opened dancing schools','the. cemetery
was cut up into building lots, the-un
dertaker had gone to making fiddles,
and the village hearse had been gaudi-
.ly painted and sold for a circus wagon /
■ J Although I have metaphorically gone
tor the doctors, let nothing 1 have said
be construed as reflecting lippp them
as a class. They are good humored,
and can therefore, taka a joke,- and, for
the most part, "are charitable. and hu
mane. I have a good many friends
among the doctors, yet they are the
last meg I want to call ©n.
