The following Idler will bo read with interest,
not merely by our citizens, but throughout the
Slate. It gives an interesting description of
Atlanta, so immortalized iu Sherman’s military
career, and which is now rising Pboeuix-like
from its ashes into a larger, thritUer aud more
beautiful city than in the past years of its highest
prosperity. Atlauta is one of the few Southern
cities which scents lo have recovered almost in
stantaneously from tho cSects ol the civil war.'
The letter is (rout the pen of John Hick, one of
our wcll-knowu and most respected merchants,
who has beeu living in Georgia during the past
year, aud knows whereof lie speaks:
W. E. CRAMER—At your request I hand you
lor publication some statements concerning At
lanta, which you are pleased to think may be
Instructive to tho public, and gratefully re
ceived.
Atlanta is emphatically a railroad city. It is
situated about one hundred miles South of the
Northern boundary ol tho State, among the
bills, or, as they are often called, tho mountains
of Georgia. ■
—Ily-turtritigTD'aTailroad map, you will find all
ol the roads, piercing the Southern States from
the North a short distance East of the Missis
sippi river to within a short a distance of tho
Atlantic coast, converge at Chattanooga, and
pass through the only opening into tho Eastern
Southern States, over one track. This is the
Wcatern & Atlantic road, leading from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta, and passing through the valley
mado memorable by Sherman’s campaign, and
ft lie bloody battles of Ringgold, Dalton, Resaca,
Konesaw, and a half dozen others. The main
trunk lines concentrating at Chattanooga are the
.Memphis A Charleston, tho Nashville & Chatta
nooga, and the Virginia Valley road from New
York, via Washington and Lynchburg, to New
Orleans, HUciulitng thoir arm* out Nnrtliwnrd
with their tributaries over every part of the
country.
Reaching Atlanta the hills givo way, as it
were, to the pressure, and tho confined, roads
break off from thoir common center, and brancli
out in every direction, eastward, southward, and
westward. The main trunk lines diverging
from Atlanta arc tho Georgia road, runniug east
ward to Charleston, via Augusta, tho Mucon &
featern, running to Savannah, via Macon, and
thoAVest Point, running to Mobilo, via Mont
gomery.
Atlanta is a comparatively new city, and owes
its existence to the over-iasltdious people oi De
cs ur. At tho tiino this greut net work of rail
roads was projecting aDd decided upon, Decatur,
a small town six miles east or Atlanta, was the
natural point of divergence of these roads, hut
(and it was as lato as 1845) the good people of
Decatur protested ngniust making the town u
;reat railroad center on account of the demoral-
zing influences which would follow. So, as a
necessity, Atlauta, then entirely covered with
forest, was Eelected.
Atlanta ought to have been a beautiful city.—
Nature has dono enough for it. It is built upon
a succession of hills or eminences, and previous
to the war scarcoly a lot of any size but contain
'd more or leas native forest trees. But never
waflWph n beautiful place so sacrificed to the
laid out’ 1 ^ 16 and design in building up. It is

Author of tho universe dispenses his favors more
mpartially than we think; while they have so
’uich that is beautiful, tho Northorn eye alwnj’s
logs for the green grass and the velvety lawn
inch is never seen in the extreme Southern
tales.
The climate of Atlanta can scarcely bo our
issed in the world, taking it the whole year
[hrougli. Last summer the mercury never rose
L bove ninety degrees, while the extreme weather
f the winter is seldom below twenty degrees
hove zero. I remained through the whole of
ho warmer months of last summer and experi
enced no real discomfort irom the heat. Otten-
litnes would tho telegraph bring to us accounts
if mercury at tho hundred in New York, and
mn strokes by the score, while we were still
.rearing our flauncl wrappers and sleeping under
jlankets. In the summer the nights are usually
:cn degrees cooler than the day; so whatever the
lay, ono is sure of a comfortable sleep. The
summers nro long, however, and many tiro of
them on thut account, commeucing as they do ns

I notico also tho lict-carnings of tho Western
A Atlantic Road for January was fifty thousand
dollars, which was entirely paid iuto tho State
Treasury, the State owning the road. Major
Campbell Wallace, ono of tho very best men of
tho country, superintends the road, and though
a State institution, no one fears under his con- i
trol a single dollar will ho diverted from its place .
in the Slato Treasury, nor that it cun be anything !
but. a paying and a popular road.
The largest part of tho freight that comes over GROCERIES & PROVISIONS !
tlio roads is corn and bacon, for plantation sup
plies. I think there was no time last summer,
when there was less than halt this amount of, —
freight coming in to Atlanta.
You will naturally ask, where does the money
como from to pay for all these supplies, und to
carry on tills business, and in the first place how
without Northern aid was Atlanta built to its
present proportions ?•
Atlanta is such a favorito point with Southern
Profeuslonal Curtis.
W E uow have on hand, aud arc offering to the coun
try and etty trade, ono of tho Urgent atocka ot
Groceries and Provision* over brought lo thin market,
conalatlng, In part, ol—
people, the healthiness oi tlieplacu unqucstionud,
tho water no), less pure than that from tho old
iss puro than
osscovcred buckets of Now England, the cli
mate salubrious the year round, and business
prospects unsurpassed by any inland town in the
country, in the disjointed condition ol affairs, a
large emigration from all the diflereut Southern
States, particularly from Tennessee and Southern !
Georgia, was attracted thither. There wero also 1
many planters Irom the tower country ol Geor
gia, becoming entirely discouraged with (lie
future prospects ot planting, under a new system
of labor, sold or rented their plantations, and re
moved to Atlanta. Such a stampede was there
for this favorite city, belore the smoke had scarce
ly ceased to rise from tho ruins, buildiug lots
with merely the debris of tho fire upon them,
could lie sol’d tor more money than previous to
the war, with fine brick buildings upon them.—
All of these men brought moro or less money
with them, p.iut with the returned citizens, all
with a common taitli in the growth ot Atlanta,
weal to work and with a most commendable en
ergy have rebuilt Atlauta and mado it what it is.
It is a mistake to believe the Southern people
camo out of the war entirely impoverished.
Almost every man who ever had any thing,
saved some gold, mid the planters not. only that,
hut most ot them managed to keep out of tho
confederacy considerable cotton, hiding it, bury
ing it iu the ground, any way, which at the close
ol the war brought most fabulous prices, fitly
or sixty cents per pouud. Then these, plants-
dons, as a general tiling, remained during the
wnr in the hands ot tiro original owners, many of
them since the surrender having been converted
into money. This may explain where the mon
ey has come from to build up Atlanta. Where
the money comes from to pay for this large
amount of merchandise that is daily coining
into Alania, is as obvious.
There has been much talk all over the country
of poor crops throughout the State, and so the
crops have been very poor comparatively. In
Oeorgiajlie wheat and corn crop, which is usually
heavy, was almost a failure, by the drouth, and
the cotton, which is tho main crop in Georgia,
aud throughout the Gulf States, was reduced to
less than half average, and scarcely more than
a third maximum crop. This looks bad at first
sight, hut when you take into calculation tho
present price of cotton compared with other
years, more money will go into the Southern
States for the cotton crop of 1806 than for any
previous year.
The largest year’s yield of tho combined
Southern Slutes was, in 1860, a little over five
millions of bales, or twenty five hundred mil
lions of pounds, which nt eight cents per pound,
the price of cotton at the plantations iu 1860,
amounts to two hundred millions of dollars.
The lowest estimate of crops of 1886, is one
t/ltUhree quarters millious bales, or eight hun-
twenty-five cc'h’i^'fiXP millions pounds, which, at
at plantations this season, atntraffl**!®?!! 0 l? rico
dred and eighteen and three-quarters millions
dollars, nn excess in favor of 1866 cron over tlio
crop ot 1860, largest ever raised in the South
the money nevertheless goes into the Southern
country for it.
The State ol Georgia raises about one-eighth
of tho whole cotton ot the South, und the amount
of money which will go into Georgia for last
year’s crop ol cotton alone, will amount to over
twenty-seven millions dollars. This explains
where the money comes from to pay for the mer
chandise which goes into tlio Stato of Georgia.
Only a small number of northern men have
gone into the State, and much less capital thun
is generally supposed, and yet it is the most fa
vorable of all the southern States for northern
men and northern capital.
