Cincinnati Industrial Exposition.
We are indebted to the President, Hon. W.
H. Blymyer, for a complimentary tickot to
the great Industrial Exposition, which will
open shortly in Cincinnati.
The Atlanta Daily Herald
Celebrated its birth-day last Friday, on
which day it entered upon the second year of
its existence. The statement it makes of its
first year's operations is absolutely astonishing.
We have never known any paper to make such
strides iu so short a period. It is conducted,
in all its departments, with vim and energy,
Cor. Smith and Ex-Cor. Johnson.
A correspondence was published some weeks
ago, in some of our State exchanges between
these two distinguished personages, in refer
ence to certain language used by Gov. John
son in a speech delivered at a bar dinner in
Macon, and which was supposed to refer to
Governor Smith. " The 1 Ex-Governor having
disclaimed any such-intention. Gov. Smith
declared be was folly satisfied: „ and here we
thought the matter wits closed. We were
therefore, surprised to see, a few days ago. a
tart letter published in the newspapers, ad
dressed by Gov, J. to Gov. Hi, complaining
that tbo latter bad published the correspon
dence before it bad closed, and reviewing the
whole matter. From the tone of this letter,
we presume other correspondence will follow,
and that, when both parties become fully satis
fied, it will probably be published.
which Northeast Georgia, Athens, the Geor
gia and Northeastern Railroads are interested,
is the route, from Rabun Gap to Augusta.
-Three rootes have limn proposed—two up the
valley of the Savannah river, one on the Geor
gia, and thejotber on tho Carolina side—both
of which will have to be graded and equipped
from Augusta to Rabun Gap, at a heavy ex
pense. Tho third route, which is some longer
than either of the others—we mean the one via
Athens—possesses this, great advantage. It
has 114 miles of railway (from Augusta to
Athens) now in successful operation, some 25
miles moro graded between Athens and Pop
lar Spring, with a probability of finishing the
Northeastern to Rabun Gap next year. There
is already twenty-miles iu operation South of
Knoxville—leaving nothing to do to counect
Knoxville with port Royal, via Athens and
Augusta, except to fill the gap between Rabun
Gap and Maryville, Tennessee. As this line
pursues the valley of the Little Tennessee,
which,|ri8C8.in the Rabun Gap, it can be gra
ded for less’ than any road ever built through
a mountain country.
The foregoing brief statement exhibits “ the
situation." Will the parties interested fold
their arms without making an effort to utilize
the great aid vantages they possess T Wo trust
not—we bflievo not. Let us. then, have repre •
mentation.'Ju _thb Chicago Convention. The
route'of the contemplated through line wifi
then be determined. Let us not fail for want
of au effort!
A Question for Landlords.
It is a custom among certain landlords of
village hotels to locate the judge of the Circuit
and a few other favored individuals in their
best rooms—to send for them privately and
gut them located in the most desirable seats
t at table—and to show them sundry and vari
ous other alteutions not accorded to other
transient boarders during Court week. This
may all be well enough, if they pay extra for
these exclusive privileges. But do they t This
is precisely .what the public want to know.
One thing is very clear to the minds of the
I'ntirtuonest intellects, and that is. if the favored
few are not subjected to extra charges, the
many who pay high prices for inferior accom
modations are grossly swindhd! The people
are disposed to inquire into this thing and have
it rectified. ...
Nor is this thing confined entirely to village
taverns, ibe more pretentious city hotels
assign their most eligible rooms to those con
sidered most distinguished by the proprietor
or clerk—to noisy travellers, distinguished for
*’ fuss and feathers.” while tho quiet, modest
gentleman is stowed away in some very small
room, poorly furnished and illy ventilated.
Yet, when the latter calls to settlo he is charg
ed as much as the man who had elegant ac
commodations! This is downright rascality,
and no house ought to lie patronized by re
spectable gentlemen where such a custom 1 '
. prevails. 1. -A
Let first-class accomodations be taxed so
much per day—second rate less, and third rate
still lower. * In short, let each guest be taxed
in proportion to what he receives.

Who Shall We Send to the Legislature 1
The Atbeus Watchman has ibis under tbe
above bead :
A gentleman informed us tbe othor day.
that after listening to Governor Smith's ad
mirable address, iu wbicb, among other things,
be urged the people to send tbeir best men to
the Legislature, he asked that gentleman
privately how are tbe people to know who are
the best men t Tbe Governor, in subsumes,
replied : Send those who do not want to go—
wuen who have business of tbeir own to look
alter. You may rest well assured that tbe
mao who is must anxious to go, is precisely
the man who ought not to be elected. We
hope tbe people- will act on this sound aiid
sensible advice when another election shall
bo held. Tbe Govenor is right. Tbe man
most anxious, to go, is precisely the oue who
ought not to be sent.
But bow are you going to find that out t
Tbe men who are keenest to bold office gener
ally protest almost with tears' in tbeir eyes
that they don’t waut it—that they are no pol
iticians'—tbat they have more business to at
tend to than they know how to got'through
with—that it would be too great a Sacrifice of
• their private interests, etc.. Why, Lord bless
ye, Mr. Governor aud Mr. .Watchman, this
not wanting to go is one of tbe very common
est tricks or tbo hungering, thirsting dema
gogue. We thought you were better posted.
You must find some other recipe for manufac
turing a Legislature of " best men."
Yes. yes, Mr. Telegraph, we kuow all that
—wo have been long.accustomed. to bearing

aro not grepn enough to trust to tho profusions
of such cuttle. Wo observe tbeir conduct.

A Lesson'for Boys.
An intelligent gentleman, giving us some
facts connected with his past history, related
tbe following incident the other day: Being
an orphan, he said he was apprenticed to
learn a trade.. In the same establishment
were three other boys, fellow apprentices. 4 1
always attended church and Sunday-school,"
said tbe gentleman. “ Every Snuday found
me in my class at school and in ray accustom
ed seat at churcb. This I knew to be in ac
cordauce with tbe wishes of my deceased pa
rents. The other three hoys, while they were
small, amused themselves bunting bird's nests
and fishing on Sundays. As tboy grew larger,
they learned to drink whiskey and gamble—
which were their regular amusements on tbat
holy day. After I grew up to manhood and
ceased going to Sunday school, I fell into
many forbidden ways, but tbe lessons of child
hood and youth were never forgotten, ami,,
by tbe grace of God, ( was enabled to break
off my evil habits and am unw a member of
the visible ebureb, with a hope of being trans
ferred at last t<> the church triumphant.’’
Our frioud is not an old man by ony Tueans
and we felt a curiosity to know how- bis early
companions had succeeded in life. We asked
what had become of them. With aii expres
sion of sadness,. he replied ; " Two-of them
died nn the gallows and tbe third in a peni
tentiary !”
Let all tbe boys in the land ponder this leS'
son well, and we hope it will not be lost on
parents, to whom wo would aay, Send your
children to Sunday-school and to churcb, and
teach them to reverenco God's boly day.
bas been well said that tbe Sunday-school is
tbe. nursery of tbo cburch.

1 found Athens improved since my last visit,
in 1863, beyoud, far beyond my expectations
It was to me always tbe blessed spot on earth,
but it seemed this time fairer even than in tbe
days of her former grandeur. Tbe traces of
time were manifest upon those dear friends,
who it seems but a few years ago, were-bright
and buoyant, and almost forgetful of her steal
thy march; but the noble beirts that swelled
in former days with all the generous pulsations
ofhonorand pride and chivalry were beating
there still; aud when they cease to beat will
be remembered by generations to come, as
bright examples of honor and virtue. God
bless the borne of my youth—endeared to uio
by so many pleasing associations of early life—
tbe spot where, iu my youth, beauty and
virtue with an angel's heart, placed the
first nuptial garland on my brow—tbe spot
where my father.3leeps—the home of my aged
mother. God bless the spot! There the
good dud tbe virtuous dwoll, and it is my ar
dent prayer that when "our Father who art
iu Heaven " makes up bis jewels, they may
all glitter with resplendeut lustre in the crown
of immortal glory.
1 was rejoiced to find bow much my dear
Atbeus frieuds were interested about our es
timable friend and worthy Representative iu
the Legislature, Hon. James Hi Hunter- The
Captain is deservedly popula’r at home, and
will bo popular wherever bo goes, where in
tegrity and moral worth are properly appreci
ated ; and my impression is tbat if he were to
visit Athens, tbe kind citizens there would
tender hint some public manifestations of their
appreciation of his valuable services in tbe
Georgia Legislature, in locating the county
site in Athens. Brooks county may well foel
proud of ber Representative, and she neod
never fear tbat her interest will ever suffer or
her honor ever be sullied while committed to
bis bands. Edward R. Harden.

Col. W. B. Bennett:—I concluded when
returned to Quitman from my visit ter Athens
Ga., that I would write a short comnninica=
tiori for.your paper..containing somo little In
formatiottin -regard to matters and things that
came uuder my observation, connected with
my visit.
The objectof my mission, as yon are aware
was to attend the annual examination of the
classes at the University of Georgia, under
commission from His Excellency, tbe Gover
nor, the appointments being made by biir
under, and by virtue of the following law:
Tbe Governor eball appoint annually ten
citizens of tbis Stale -as a board of visitors
to-attend the University exadrioatiou preced
ing the annual commencements, aud said coni-
injttee-by three of tbeir number recommended
by them, shall report to tbe Governor witb tbe
least possible dpiay, tbo character of said ex
amination. Said visitors eball receive for.
their services five dollars, per diem, estimating
from tbe date of tbeir leaving tbeir respective
homes.”—Irwin's Revised Code, Par. 1206.
Tbe committee thus appointed,'were en
gaged nine days, iu earnest, zealous and un
remitting diligence in the lull and complete
discharge of tbeir duties. The result, I am
most happy to say, was entirely satisfactory,
and the committee have so reported to the
Governor. Georgia^bks Indeed good reason

Governor Smith. *
Mr. Editor :—Did you hear tbe Governor’s
speech before the Agricultural Convention T
Ifyou did or did not, you have doubtless beard
tbat it was a great speech, a wonderful pro
duction. I beard one fanner say that ho con
sidered it ” the best speech that ever bad been
made.”
Now, it will, I fear, be thought great pre
sumption in mu to hold, thuch more to express,
a different opinion. And I will join his ad
mirers in saying it was a great speecb in a cer
tain way. I tbink it was a wonderful produc
tion as an electioneering speecb, aud if it had
been delivered on the eve of an election, it
would have secured tbe Governor aJarge vote.
Bat 1 supposed, in my want of experience that
an orator addressing an-assembly of grave,
thinking men, would carefullyaviiid tlio stir
ring up of strife, excite no animosities, repress
ratbor than foster prejudices, encourage rather
than discourage the hearts of tbe planters.—
But tbe Governor’s bearers must have felt
during tbo delivery very much us tbe man did
who, at tbe conclusion of bis lawyer's speech
to the jury, said, with tears, be did uot kuow
half how badly he bad been treated.
Tbe Governor proved by a very labored
argument, supported by voluminous statistics,
very inucb to the satisfaction of his audience, as
was shown by the most uproarious applause,
tbat tbs planter-surf Georgia were poorer., now
than they, were .before the .war, and that tboy
were getting poorer every year1 He explained
bow this was-brougbt about by showing, tbat
although tbs cotton crop was worth millions
upon millions of dollars annually, tho planters
did get a very small part of it, or if they did
get it. they could not keep it. Tbe ireedmen
got some, tbe merchants got some, the rail
roads considerable, tbe cottou speculators got
a good deal, tbe fertilizer-maker a largo part,
Tennesseaus, Kentuckians, and Missourians
for mules, bacon, flour, bagging, rope, tee., a
large sbare. Now, witb all these cormorants
and others picking at tbe poor planter, what
chance bad be to come off witb any thing but
bare honest Therefore, tbe first great duty
of the Georgia planter was to get rid of these
insatiate birds of prey, and so to control mat
ters tbat tbe planters should receive tbe same
price for tbeir cotton at their gia houses, or
nearly the same, that it commands in Liver
pool.
. All this the Governor thought could be
brought to pass, if tbe planters would have a
Legislature composed of members from their
own class. They could do it, and they ought
to do it. All tbe world depends upon tho
farmer for bread, they should in like manner
depend on him for such laws as b*e may seo
proper to make for tbem and for himself. Of
course all otber industries, all enterprises
should be subordinate to planting.
The Legislature so composed, would take
control of all kinds of labor, fix tbe prices and
annex tbe penalties, from tbe plow and boe in
tbofielj) to tbe engine on Railroads or on
steamboats. Adjust tbe cost of manufactures,
the tuition in schools, the discounts in Banks,
and abolish tbe profits of cotton buyers.
Now, Mr. Editor, all this insensate talk
about the immense value of our cotton crop in
New York or Liverpool, and ibe small portion v
of its value realised by the fboter, springs
from the very same principle that excites a
clamor 6t tbe poor agalost the rich;-of labor
against capital. It is precisely the same argu
ment tbat the Radicals and scalawags used
with tbe negroes. “ Who,” said they, “-built
these fine houses f Where did tbe money come
from to pay for those splendid horses and car
riages t All from tbe cotton patch. Who
cleared tho land, and made t tho feuces, and
cultivated tbe crop f Why, you, of course.—
What did you get for your share t Coarse
food and clothes, and often not enough of that.
What did they givo when you parted 1 Noth-)
ing.” And much more of tho same sort. And
what was the consequence of this arraying In
bitter, hostile antagonism, one class against
another T Every body knows, the very state
of things so eloquently portrayed by the Gov-
ernnr, and which be thought could only be
corrected by a Legislature composed of plan
ters. Aud although tbe negroes have aban
doned the hope of getting thb mule and forty
acres, they certainly think tboy ought to have
Railroads and factories, to make them com
prehend what tbeir cotton would bo worth
without factories aud Railroads T As to the
oitcry against middlemen, it is a direct attack
on the merchants, for tboy aro the only middle
men between tho producer and cousumcr. So
I need hot say any mi that folly. The. mer
chants are able to, and will taka care of them
selves. The twaddle about having our smoke
houses in Tennessee aiid Kentucky, is on a
par with much other ad captandum nonson.se.
if by smoke-house is meant a place to keep
bacon, as I suppose it is, a planter had better
have bis smoke-house at tbe nearest grocer’s
than ou his plantation. For without tbe im
mense trouble of a stock ot hogs, without the
invariable loss attending tbeir raising, oue-
balf at least, without tbe risk of warm weath
er at killing time, tbe inroads of thieves, skip
pers, tee., tee., he can get bis bacon when be
wants it, and as much as be wants, and a great
deal, cheaper. I believe all this is clearly de
monstrable.
If tbe Patrons of Husbandly and tbe Gov
ernor have tbe good of tbe country at heart,
let them first get a law passed, without refer-
euce to a negro vote, to relieve tbe country of
the ruinous incubus of fences, then I will have
more faith in tbem. •
Since the Governor’s speech, I have seen an
extract from one made by our townsman, Col.
B. H. Hill, at Jonesboro’. If one bad beard
the speech of tbo other, bo could not bave re
peated it more exactly than was done. I don’t
know wb icb spoke first, but they are evidently
both tarred with the same stick.
