• land hunters” now say in ragaid to your
county, when invited to examine your pro
ductive soil. “Can’t go 25 miles from a
railroad, over a miserable lobby, muddy
baulky, crooked dirt road, on which 500
pounds is a good load for a pair of. mules,
during a large part of the market season.
Wont live where the roads are so poor
nobody will come to see me, or! go any
where when I want to.” That is abont the
way they talk about 'it.* Did you ever
think that it takes, six mortal hours to
drive, with a good horse, from'Rome to
Summerville, and that i: that -.time- pai-
5 eugcr trains, on the railroads, run at least
nuehundred miles, thus making the prac
tical distance, by this measurement^^
twien these two places, one htmared miles,
instca 1 of twenty-live, as it used to be, be
fore railroad speed beoani. the measure - of
distances? . '!*'« , ■ ... . •
Well, you say, what of it. Why , J ust
this: you can, for all practical purposes,
reduce this distance OTer one-half. You
uow have a charter giving you the j^ght to
the most direct way, and at least four-miles
cut he saved in the present actual distance,
by making a good firm graded road—ma
cadamizing all boggy places-buggies can
easily make the .distance '.in three, hofirs,
and two mules will haul, at all times, 1500
pounds, with greater ease than St! muddy
times they now draw 500; it will become a
delightful drive, and hundreds of people
will visit your county, while few individu
als do it now, and by attrition and associa
tion you would at once emerge from ,your
comparatively lonely situation, and catch
the step of the rapid strides of this rail
road age.
All will admit that the object is a good
one, and exceedingly desirable, but how is
it In be accomplished; where is the money
to come from to carry out this project—
there is the trouble. It is not probable
that it would bo a good speculation for for
eign capitalists, or that the stock would
sell high in the markets, yet we arc confi
dent that Chattooga and Floyd counties,
the city of Rome, and land owners along
and near the line of road, cannot possibly
make a better investment.
We will suggest the following plan and
proportions as an equitable arrangement
fur raising the ueccssary funds : . Let in
dividuals along and near the line subscribe
onc-1 alf of the entire stock to be paid in
work ou tiro road; let Chattooga and Floyd
counties issue bonds for sufficient amount
to icalize six-sevenths of the balance—
this to be proportioned between, these
counties according to the length of the
road in each—and the city of Romo issue
her bonds and raise the remaining^ one-
seventh ol this last half.
These bends might he made hearing sev
er, per cent interest, and to run ten years,
with the privilege of redeeming them in
not less than five years. As soon as the
road has proved itself, and-the -probable
income is ascertained, then let it be sold to
a private company, under bonds to keep it
uuder complete repair. It ; would probably
sell fortwo-thirds or three-fourths its cost.—
Then let the counties abd-city issue other
bonds, or tax the people to meet this defi
ciency. It is morally certain that in this
way the expense to the county fur twenty
years will he less than it has been for
twenty years past, and, instead of au al
most impassable road for three or four
mouths every year, we will have continually
an excellent good one. The private 'Stock
holders along the line of the road wili
ceive tripple compensation in the. enliancpd

Proposed Re-union of the 8th Georgia Reg-
‘ imeut.
It has been proposed that the survivors
of the old 8th Georgia Regiment have a
social re-union on the 21st of next July, at
some central locality. What say the At
lanta Grays, the Macon Guards, the Ogle
thorpe Light Lnfontry.and the other com
panies. The companies from Floyd are in
favor of.it—Some Courier.
Speaking without authority, we have no
hesitation in expressing the opinion that
the large and' honorable remnant of that
historical regiment that is to be found, on
the coast, will most joyfully co-operate
with their former comrades-in-arms to get
up the proposed re-union. It would be a
most pleasant affair, and the memories of
the regiment are too glorious not to be pre
served by a permanent association, and
frequent reunions.—Sov. ,Repuff.
So says the Savannah Republican—and,
speaking in the same way, the Macon Tele
graph feels’quite sure the reunion would be
exceedingly satisfactory .to that portion of
the regiment located in this vicinity.—Mo.’
comSTdegraph.
We have no donbt bat that all the mem
bers "of this regiment will gladly join the
proposed reunion, if they can. We would
suggest Atlanta as the most central place,
and those who were at any time field offi
cers of the regiment, be requested to act as
a committee of arrangements—with Col.
J. R. Towers, who was in command at the
close ofthe war, as Chairman. His address
is Rome, Ga.

MAT DAT AT CAVE SPUING.
Jacksonville, At.a., May 3d, 1869.
My Dear DicineU.
-On last Saturday, the 1st of May, which
may he called ‘-'Qneen Day” of the year;
Flora,"the Bridesmaid of the Qneen, - saw
fit to let the littte ones enjoy themselves in
a different way from that of a festival of
flowers, to that "of a feas t of good tilings, at
Upring.. ,T expected to have met you
not as old Dido would have met
Eaeas at the Cave, to make love. Oh!
that yon know wonld riot do for two old
bachelors t« think of.
“When Dido saw that Eneas did not come,
She mourned in silence, and was Dido-
dumb.” 1
As the Down-Eastern would say, “Yon
had’nt ought to have missed it.” Had yon
been there yon conld have seen the dear
little pledges, whom a Saint in Heaven has
left to their parents. Yon wonld have seen
the wit and beauty of Jacksonville and the
vicinities of intermediate stations, on the
Selma, Rome k Dalton Railroad. Yon
conld have seen the infants c’othed in their
long white robes, and the tottering staff in
their |6th or 7th decade. Yes, and yon
could have seen the beautiful cars, made
by Barney, Smith k Co., of Dayton, Ohio.
Capt. Barney, the Superintendent of the
Road, paid the party qnite a compliment
to have made snch a fit up as it was. I had
not ridden in a car'foi same time. I took
my seat in the Daytou coach No. 5, and
looked all around me to know where I was;
so fine it was, I thought I was in a Capital
Palace. The whistle blew, the bell rang,
something snorted like unto a horse. I
looked out of. the window, on the left side
of the Palace. Soon I was passing my friend
BilL Cook’s beautiful peach orehard, laid
off as regularly as a South. Sea Rookery,
and went gently along through fields of
moving green—stopped at the big Wakely
spring, by which is a new tannery being
spurred np, by the railroad enterprise,—
Passing along over Squire" McCain’s level
plains until we come opposite my friend
Wm. Scott’s, who was standingon the de
clivity of his house place hill, looking as
though he ought to have been aboard too,
with his smiling, ruddy fade, and parsed
Bains Prater reading a newspaper at his
big spring—like jas not it was the Courier.
Then comes Warren Harris, whom every
body knows from Vanns Valley to Rome
for his wit and humor. Passing along,
taking notes of the left, or northwest side
of the road, a voice sang out," ,“steam saw
mill,” There stood in’the lumberjjard, the
well known Ketchum,.of the old “Etowah
House,”'iir'his coatless sleeves, knocking
around in his usual energetic way; looking
as much at home as if he had been dissect
ing a fat tnrkey with cranberry sauce and
trimmings.
Next cterie the new place, Avoca, built
on the Bsqnire Sharp place.. There stood
Capt. Barney and his corps looking at his
beautiful train, (a voice, “three cheers
for Capt. Barney) so completely managed
by his inimatable engineer, Mr. Smith, of
Selma, and his good natnrod conductor,
Bill Day. All went on like clock work.
Passing Cross Plains, we soon came to
Imdiga. Here we see more of the energy
of the enterprising Capt. Arehie, in the
way of a steam mill. He is like the un
conquerable Phoenix, and can build npon
the ashes of ruin. Then comes Ander-
sonville, or New London. Then Griffith’s
mills, on the rushing Hurricane creek np
the Hurricane, crossing its mean derings of-
ten^ some .one of ihe party, looking ont,
said, this is a powerful country for creeks.
Ever and anon living mortality, without re-
gard to seniority, gazed at : the beautiful
moving,train, at which also the woods and
green fields smiled. Then comes Prior’s
Station. Down we go, gliding along the
stream that leads to the Cave. Passing
along, the Prior eld house, where the lads
and lasses were waving their white hand-
kerchieft, greeting the passers-by. Ar
riving in the rich valley, we are taken by
Woodstock, now occupied by Mrs. Ford as
a private Female Boarding School. One
would say at once, this is the very place
for a school, situated on a commanding hill,
with a fine prospect, surrounded by a beau
tiful murmuring, meandering stream, along
whose banks the classic stndent, might wlule
away many an hour along her own Gnadal-
qnivir.
Next comes the beautiful Lake house,
once the seat of the Indian Chief, Vann.
Near here, the engine comes to a halt,
when one ofthe party, from the ebullition
of his feeGng, called ont, “Hurrah for
Georgia,” a feeling raised from the fact
that he was near the spot where the brave
Bartow lived and learned. The noble he
ro who illustrated the chivalry and daring
courage of Georgia at the 1st Manassas.^—
fcPciace to his memory."
Now the fine coaches comes to a stand
p'f ili Out pours the current of one living
stream of life, love and beanty; some got into
conveyances, but most of them, or in fact,
at the- good
old primitive way, patronizing the people)

crowd, the most in regular procession, fol
lowing their baoner cf “salutation.” Adown

jtaard, whose name I did not hear, but of
good appearance and good contour, with
fino forehead, yon wonld have stud to the
youth “upward and onward,” he yonr mot-
fe-’ - • ; . ..
i Had you been there you oohld have seen
tiie good people of Cedartown, ten. After
the sacred prayer, talking and singing of
.the different choirs was ended, dinner was
announced.^ I took my old neighbor, Hen
ry WatVitis by'the arm," and said, come,
“lets go and do a thing we .understand.”—
Ho readily took me up. Now for a place,
for we had to ho invited to the repast. Now
forit. Who did wo meet but my good
friend, Mr. Alexander Harper,, who
well, come go with us, and following in his
wake to where the provident Mrs. Wright
and his good lady had prepared on a snowy
white Otetli, a fine dinner. As I insinuat
ed before, we did justice to the subject,
and after returning onr thanks to the good
hostesses forty eating os te so many good
things, I took a stroll and looked around—
saw my"good friend, Dr. Leak and lady. ;
The Doctor wrote me ont a prescription. I
can say in the words of old man Summer-
over, of North Carolina, many years ago,
who took the toddy administered by Gen.
John Moore, of North Carolina, Doctor,
yonr medicine is-good, and then it is so ea
sy to take.” 1 am indebted to Mr. King,
on the Coosa, and to Capt. Dent, of Cave
Spring, who gave me a nice ride after his
famous trotting mare—2 forty on a shell
road. -
I have told yon of feasting the inner
man, now let me tell yon what yon might
also have seen had you been there too, but
oh 1 stop, for. in the language of Tom
Moore’s Anacreon,
“The women tell me every day,
That all my bloom, has passed away;
Behold, the petty wantons cry,
Behold this mirror with a sigh;
The locks npon the brow are few,
And like the rest they are withering too, &o.
But nevermind all that, a cat, as the say
ing is, can look at a king, so I shied around
the buggy where the nameless one sat, sur
rounded as if she were a wheel hj fellow*. I
don’t know how many there were that were
bleeding at the left breast, but several that
were far gone. They passed me as I was
standing looking at the dear mutes, dis
coursing the poetry of motion under the
fine oaken grove. I saw but one gentleman
from Rome, he kinder coldly told me who
she was, for which I was mnch obliged. I
should have-liked to have heagl her use
that Jenny Lind mmth, for I was told by
oio of the girls that she was the nightin
gale of Woodstock. But so it was, I had
to leave without any of those delicate con
fections.
Now on this I will stop, for one of those
fellows might ask one across the line to
dance a dnett. Oh, Dwinell, I have found
out why the ground was not graced by the
beauties of Rome, for yon have read in the
time of old Romulus and Remus, at the
founding of old Rome, they give a feast, in
viting the beantiful* Sabine women. As
then it might have been again. Our Jack-
■rnvillo knights might have surrounded
and carried them southward to a more ge
nial clime. Time irrecoverably flies while
I relate these little particnlais, so I must
come a close, hut one of the most stirring
scenes in the whole drama coine off at the
Depot, on the return home, before and af
ter the arrival of the train. You must ex
cuse me for I cannot do the subject justice.
The night being dark and stormy, some
of the mothers were qnite uneasy, writing
at the Depot for onr return, having sent
their whole stock in trade of children to the
Cave. One was telling her fix to a sober,
thinking man, who makes good calculations,
and who had sent only half of his loved
ones from home; who wittily remarked to
her who solicted sympathy, oh, aunt, yon
onght to have done as I did, saved some at
home for seed. Soon though the confusion
was over, and as Shakespeare says in his
midsummer nights dream,
“Now the hnrly burly’s done,
Now the day is past and gone.”
Truly yours,
Gov. Doer.
