Mb. Editor—Nine miles north of the
oity of Rome, outspreading far aud wide,
lies that beautiful scope of country called
Ridges Valley. When a forest, it was
owned and ruled by an Indian Chief of the
same nnmo, "and from whom the valley tokos
its name. It is now a rich and prosperous
valley, inhabitedby an intelligent popula
tion In the center of this valley, and in
the midst of this people, stands Rush’s
Chapel, a Methodist Church, built princi
pally by Mr. Jno. Rush, in honor of whom
it is named. I propose to write a few lines
concerning a Sunday School Celebration
which I attended at that plane on Wednes
day last.
Nine o’clock, a. m, found mo “jogging
along” towards the scene. I arrived at the
church'at 11 o'clock. Found the peiple
all on the “tramp,” and, deeply interested
in the exercises that were to follow. There
were but two schools present—Rush’s
Chapel and Oostanaula. They were des
ignated by the ribbon they wore. The
color of the former being green, the latter
blue. It was a day j iyous and pleasant to
a’l the young hosts.
After forming in line the schools were
marched into the chnroh to the tune of
song of the “Sabbath School Belle ” The
services were opened with prayer by the
Rev. Mr. Harris, followed by an address
from My. Willie Wadsworth, who was also
followed by Rey. Wm. J, Ring, Baptist
Minister. The services were theq conclud
ed for the forenoon, when dinner was an-
anounced. A general rush was made for
the t-rHSi Which was groaning under the
heavy loads of hog, motion, cakes and
“chicken fixins-” It reminded me qf good
old “ante-brilum,” limes, when Democrats
rnled Georgia.
Digaer over, vye njgre.hpd b;.ck to the
church, where we were entertained by an
address from Rev. Mr. Parks, followed by
Mr, J. I. Wright, when the sprvices were
closed, and all “hands” potqrqecj to their
homes. There were about 500 persons pn
the ground, including a number of your
“town folks,”

best wishes for tho success of Sunday

Vote on the Water Works Question.
The election last Saturday on this sub
ject resulted in favor of water works, the
vote being 105 for end 48 against, The
understanding is that the Council will not
negotiate the bonds for this -purpose for less
than 80 or 85 cents pn the dollar.
It is to be hoped the Council will em
ploy a thoroughly competent engineer and
have an exact survey from the different
springs proposed and determine whether
they cannot do better than to nse river wa
ter to supply, the reservoir. If this project
is to he earned oat,-reference to economy
should be had, when 50 or 100 years are
taken into the count.

We have the decisions of the Supreme
Court, delivered to-day, ipclnding those
upon the importantsubject of slave notes
and homesteads, Wp have not space to
give the decisions in full in this issqe, and
therefore, for the benefit of parties, an-.
nounce the result. We will give the whole
in our next issne.
The oonrt runs the same progiamme as
heretofore on relief. Chief Justice Brown
and Judge McCay decide it to the last syl:
lable, and Judge Warner dissents. The
slave notes are buried beyond resurrection.
The Chief Justice thinks it no worse to
kill the property Ip tije chattel itself. While
homesteads arc'retro-active and everything
else vital on high constitutional grounds of
lofty jurisprudence, viz : public expedien
cy.
Ws were in the Supre ne Court room for
a brief while whenthe negip notes were
under discussion, and heard Col. Warren
Akin make a strong argument in favor of
their validity. He uttered Bomo burning
invective against tho in fumy of that Consti
tution, which drives the widows and or
phans of fhp country remidiless from its
coarts, and destroys their honest claims,
while those who have enjoyed the benefit
of their property and the use and hire of
their negroes, are permitted to laugh at the
demand fct payment. The Colonel ad
vanced the posittop, rpniarjiable in these
days, that creditors had a few little pif-C pf
rights as well as debtors.
