Tallulah.
Tlie change from Toccoa to Tallulah
is said to be from the beautiful to the
sublime. Such may be the case, but the
passage thereto by the “ dirt road ” is
neither.
We commenced our journey on Mon
day, “o’er hill and dale,” particularly
hill. We don’t think there’s another hill
in all Georgia. All of them must have
been piled up in oui - way, and that, as
Josh Billings would say, “promiscuous
ly,” totally regardless of the poor, wretch
ed little road, which, after running around
all creation, and getting lost any num
ber of times, finally tumbles down over
a huge rock pile, and ends its “ wild ca
reer ” at Tallulah.
Wearied with our own exertions in fol
lowing it, we “ got some provisions from
the store,” and speedily sank to repose
under our “ leafy bower ” —persons not
bent on being sentimental would call it
a “liorse-shed.”
Next morning, some of the party, af
ter getting “some provisions from the
store,” set out to “do” the Falls, but af
ter awhile came to the conclusion that
they had already been “ done ” —overdone.
We preferred visiting the “stands,” viz:
“Devil’s Pulpit,” “Lover’s Leap,” “Ea
gle’s Nest,” &c., and while the others
were gathering trophies, we took our seat
on the aforesaid Pulpit, and instructed
our sable friend Joe in those mythologi
cal traditions which had here found a
“local habitatitm and a name.”
Miup^mipoitaut discoveries —and in
ventions—were made by different mem
bers of the party, all of which should re
ceive honorable mention, but time and
space forbid. One or two, however, are
so important that we must record them.
One of the party, after much laborious
and scientific research, found a chicken
bone in a hole; another proclaimed, in
grandiloquent tones, the astounding dis
covery of a hitherto unknown cave, and
straightway named it “The Hunter’s Re
treat”—[The people up there called it a
snake-hole, and we were so strongly im
pressed with the correctness of this title
that we “went for ” our remedy for snake
bites] —while we, emulous of doing some
thing that might redound to the happi
ness of the whole party, discovered that
it was dinner-time.
This discovery being properly appre
ciated and acted upon, we took our leave
of the sublime Tallulah, and now express
the hope that our accurate turd graphic
description of its many beauties may in
duce many of our readers to go and see
for thrmselves.
The Northern Circuit Judgeship.
Since the death of Judge Andrews
was announced, there are many specula
tions as to who will be appointed his
successor in the northern circuit by Gov.
Smith. We hear mentioned in this con
nection the names of Sam Hardeman, of
Oglethorpe, and Col. Pottle, of Warren,
and we suppose other names will be
brought to the consideration of the Gov
ernor. As it will be impossible for the
Executive to appoint all the candidates,
wo suppose lie will exercise his judgment
in the appointment of the best man for
the position out of the list of aspirants
brought before him.
Since writing the above we learn that
the appointment has been conferred upon
Col. E. M. Pottle.
Railroad Meeting on Saleday Next.
The people of Elbert county are re
quested to meet in the courthouse on
Saleday in September proximo, to take
into consideration the proposed railroad
from' Walhalla] to Augusta. Speakers
will be present to deliver addresses.
Favors.
We are under obligations to Dr. A. E.
Hunter for a copy of McCabe’s “Life
and Campaigns of General Robert E.
Lee.” The Doctor has several copies of
this popular work for sale. An engraved
portrait of the great military chieftain
accompanies each book.
“Rope Deferred.”
The contribution “Hope Cheers Us
On,” was received too late for this issue,
and, unless tlie author disires to “use it
for another purpose” before that time,
jt will appear next week.
THE BOW IN OGLETHORPE.
Further Particulars.
At the commitment trial in Oglethorpe
last week, the facts elicited differed
somewhat from the "statement made in
the Gazette, but there was no material
difference withal.
It appears that the negroes were en
gaged in something like a general row,
in which Burt was somewhat mixed.—
Mr. Stribling, healing of the disturb
ance, started to the place for the purpose
of restoring order. While on the road
he was run into by a buggy driven by
Nace Haynie—the facts of which were
substantially as stated last week.
After the buggy scrape, Mr. Stribling
got into a fight with Porter Mattox.—
Mattox, being the strongest, got Mr. S.
down, and knocked his pistol out of his
hand. Porter got possession of the pis
tol, and had it in his hand, when Mr. S.
got away from his antagonist and started
to run.
About this time a crowd of negroes
came in view headed by “Big John” Mat
tox, and seeing Mr. Stribling running,
took after him, crying “kill him! kill
him!” “Big John” soon caught up with
Mr. S., and catching him by the collar,
threw him down in a sitting position,
when he, and as many others as could
get in reach, commenced beating and
kicking him.
At this time, another negro, Martin
Willingham, who was not in any way
connected with either the celebration or
the row, seeing from a distance that a
fight was going on, ran through a field
to the spot, picking up a stick of danger
ous proportions as he came. Reaching
the spot where the brutes were beating
Mr. Stribling, he gave Mr. S. a blow
across the head with the stick which
broke his skull, knocking him senseless
to the ground.
Two Hough negroes, friends to Mr. S.,
now came to the scene of action, and
bearing aloft a dangerous rail each,
drove the negroes off and tried to take
the white man away. As they were
raising the body the crowd closed in up
on them, and made demonstrations of
an assault. One of the Houghs drew a
knife and commenced slashing right and
left among the disorderly crowd. By
accident his knife struck Mr. S. in the
back, but causing only a slight wound.
After this the Houghs were pi‘ v rrr xi -1-
to carry Mr. Stribling to a place of safe
ty, where his injuries received prompt
attention.
The above is an epitome of the evi
dence adduced on the trial. The result
of that trial was the committal of “Big
John,” Porter Mattox, and Martin Wil
lingham to prison to await their tri
al for assault with intent to kill.
Mr. Stribling, at last accounts, was
cheerful, and doing very well, but is not
considered out of danger.
After the affray, the negroes had meet
ings Saturday and Sunday, passing res
olutions to stick to each other under all
circumstances. One negro was heard to
say, that they might try these negroes
and condemn them, but no sentence
should be executed. This bold threat
ener was arrested, but afterwards dis
charged. The feeling among all the ne
groes in the neighborhood is said to be
very high against the whites, but the
feeling of the whites is equally as strong
to put down anything like disorder, and
maintain the dignity of the law at all
hazards.
Illness of Old Citizens.
Judge Wm. M. Almand, an old and re
spected citizen of Elbert county, Las
been ill for several weeks past, and bis
friends liave fears tliat his illness may
prove of a serious character.
Rev. Wm. H. Adams, a highly respec
ted Methodist minister of our county,
was attacked with heart disease during
divine services on Monday of last week.
The paroxysms have continue at inter
vals since, but of a modified form, until
last Sunday, when they became more se
vere, and have dampened the hopes hith
erto entertained of his recovery.
Later news place Mr. Adams in a more
hopeful condition.
Meeting of Directors of the A. & H. R. R.
The directors of the Augusta and
Hartwell Railroad Company held a meet
ing at Lincolnton one day last week,
when it was agreed that the line recent
ly recently surveyed from Andersonville
to Petersburg be adopted as part of the
line for that road A meeting of stock
holder was called to be held at the same
place, in September.
Accident to a former Citizen of Elbert near
Hartwell.
Rev. Benjamin Thornton, a Baptist
minister, was tin-own from his buggy, in
the vicinity of Hartwell, recently, and
was severely bniisod. His advanced age
made the injuries more serious than they
would otherwise have been, and his re
covery has been retarded from the same
cause.
PLEASUBE SEEKING,

We Know How It Is Ourselves.
CHAPTER i.
THE DEPARTURE A SAD ACCIDENT GLOOM
AND DESPAIR DINNER FRANKLIN SPRINGS
CARNESVILLE—ETC., ETC.
Mr. Editor: On Tuesday the sth
inst., a party of four young, handsome
and intelligent gentlemen left Elberton
for the purpose of seeing the sights that
are so grand and numerous in north
Georgia.
The writer of this, Mr. Editor, will not
attempt to give as an elaborate account
of the scenery, etc., that that country
affords, as the “Mountain boys have,
but simply a few descriptions in or
der to show that our trip, though often
dreamed of, was not a dream, but a real
ity.
We left Elberton about 10 o’clock
Tuesday morning, feeling like “morning
stars.” The next incident of any impor
tance, was the breaking of the dash
board of one of our buggies, caused by
the sudden stopping of one of the fiery
untamed steeds, driven by us. This
was indeed a sad occurrence, because it
not only injured the personal appearance
of our buggy, but caused a fit of despair
to take hold of one of our party which
lasted for Beveral days. At one time the
rest of the party thought his prospect
for recovery was doubtful, but alas!
when everything seemed darkest, and
gloom o’erspread liis once smiling coun
tenance, dinner was spoken of, and had
some dark night been suddenly illumi
nated by a dozen suns, the difference
could not have been much greater. Af
ter the partaking of refreshments at
Little Holly Springs, and the apparent
recovery of our despairing comrade, we
continued our journey.
Franklin Springs were reached about
5 o’clock, the same day. After a game
or two of ten pins, that were greatly en
joyed, we repaired to the supper table,
where we did ample justice to every
thing in our reach. The next morning
was spent at the Springs. Rolling ten
pins was our chief amusement, and it
would have amused you deal* reader, to
have heard “our hero” who had never
played the game before, exclaim, after
rolling three balls, “set ’em up, they are
all down but nine!” In the afternoon
our journey was again resumed, ami in
IHijJleHwhile the Springs were left be
hind us. After nine miles chive we
reached Camesville, but the evening be
ing somewhat spent, and time being
money with us, our sojourn in the city
was short.
CHAPTER 11.
THE SHADES OF EVENING APPEARETH “THE
BIRDS OF THE AIR, ETC., TOCCOA CITY
TOCCOA FALLS, ETC., ETC.
By the time we had taken our depart
ure from the last named place, the
shades of evening were fast drawing its
dark mantle around us, and we had not
where to rest our wearied bodies. After
traveling a long and gloomy road for
some time, we spied a flickering light in
the far distance. From whence did it
proceed ? Was it from the house of some
well-to-do farmer, or was it the lantern
of some highway robber, who had heard
of our coming, and intended to murder
us for our money ? We could not con
clude, but time, and a careful look-out
brought us at last to a farm-house on
the road, from which the fearful light
issued. After some pretty talking on
our part for lodging, the old gentleman
of the farm “took us in,” and we were
again happy.
Getting an early start the next morn
ing, in a few hours we reached Toccoa
City. This growing city seems to be
the pride of all the people in the neigh
boring country, and in our opinion will
some day be a city indeed. Everybody,
and everything seemed full of energy,
and “meant business.” We took dinner
at the new hotel here, and we say with
out hesitation that we fared as well as
we would have done hi the largest ho
tels of oiu* largest cities. After dinner
we were off to the falls, and Toccoa City
was soon left in our rear.
We reached the Toccoa falls about the
middle of the afternoon. Never having
feasted our eyes on this lovely spectacle
before, we felt we scarcely knew how,
it was so beautiful, so lovely, so soul-in
spiring. Our party stood in utter aston
ishment and wonder as they gazed upon
the beauties of lovely Toccoa. We lin
gered here sometime, looking at the sur
rounding scenery, and not till we began
to think of where we were to find supper,
could we tear ourselves away from this
feast of the soul. Mr. Editor, do not
think that we would attempt a descrip
tion of anything so perfectly beautiful,
we leave it to pens of finer art. We
simply write the foregoing, to let the
people know that we have “been there,”
and “know how it is ourself.”
After a few hours chive, we succeeded
in finding lodging, and after enjoying
a hearty supper, we retired to our “little
beds,” some of us dreaming of the beau
\ *
tiful sight we had seen during the day,
and the others of the “girl they left be
hind them.” [Your correspondent, Mr.
Editor, dreamt of the sight seen during
the day.]
CHAPTER in.
THE MOUNTAINS —LONG MILES —SICKNESS
A BLOODY FIGHT—PEACE —GRAND TALLU
LAH.
A long night had passed, the morning
had come. As soon as breakfast was
dispatched, there might have been seen
on the public road of Habersham coun
ty, two solitary vehicles, and four solita
ry travelers, gazing with delight upon
the magnificent sceneiy of that moun
tainous country. The grand old Blue
Ridge looms up in the distance, like
mighty bulwarks, presenting scenery al
most unequalled for magnificence and
grandeur.
In this country miles are long, we
think one mile in that country, will reach
from Elberton to Ruckersville. For il
lustration, we had good horses. They
traveled well, and after one day’s journ
ey, we found that we were just six miles
from the place we had left in the morn
ing.
On the third day, one of our party
became indisposed, ill, sick, even badly,
but like pur despairing friend, a ch ink
of mountain water, and a few subtantial
meals, made him himself once more.
One bloody fight was all that marred
our pleasure; but not wishing to offend
the participants we will refrain from
giving the particulars.
After a consul of war was held,
terms of peace readily agreed upon, and
harmony again reigned supreme.
Now, Mr. Editor, we desire to say
something of grand Tallulah, but we
scarcely know how to begin. We can
only say that it is indeed the “world’s
wonder.” We spent some time here
making the several descents. All the
places of interest were visited by us,
the several falls, Hawthorn’s Pool, the
Devil’s Pulpit, the Lover’s Leap, the
Fat Man’s Squeeze, etc. The only ob
jection we could find to Tallulah, was
the labor and exertion required in de
scending and ascending its rugged cliffs
and crags. Had we the descriptive
powers of the most noted writers, we
would fail to do Tallulah Falls, and the
surrounding scenery the justice it de
-1 Grand Tallulah ! no pen can
(hPID justice, no tongue can describe
thee aright. May you ever
* * “Dash on madly
Through the sundered granite hills,
And a sense of awful beauty
All the gazers’ being fill.”
CHAPTER IV.
FEARFUL ILLNESS A HEART LOST NACOO
CHEE VALLEY CLARKESVILLE HOMEWARD
BOUND FINIS.
The night after we left the falls, on
our way to the Nacoochee valley, we
stopped all night, where they fed us on
nothing but chicken dumplings, minus
the chicken. In vain we searched the
dishes for chicken. The dumplings, as
well as we remember, were about the
size of a piece of chalk, and weighed we
suppose something under three pounds
each, being compelled to make a virtue
of necessity, one of our party partook of
this rather heavy diet immoderately, and
the consequence was a little sickness,
and no more relish during the trip for
chicken-dumplings.
The next day atdinner we stopped with
a clever old gentleman, who had three
clever daughtrs. They treated us so
monstrous w r ell, that one of our party
lost his heart, and said that he was ready
to five and die for her.
The next point of interest was
##•******
* “Nacoocbee’s valley sweet,
Where the shining Chattahoochee
Stars and sunshine love to greet.”
Not having spent as much time here,
as we anticipated, and not being as well
acquainted with Capt. Nichols, as some
of our fellowtowsmen, we are not prepared
to say anything about this fine body of
land, except that Capt. Nichol’s improve
ments are the best we ever saw on a
farm, and that his land, in our opinion
is the finest in the State for certain pro
ducts. We could also see, from the val
ley
* “Mount Yonah soaring proudly,
Where the winds are pure and free,
Wafts a greeting on their pinions,
To his neighbor Currahee.”
Staying at the valley but a few hours,
we started homeward, and Nacoochee
was soon numbered with the things that
“were passed.”
We came through Clarkesville on our
return, and found this place crowded
with pleasure seekers almost to over
flowing.
We then proceeded to the Currahee
Mountain, where we were taken in by
Mr. Young Davis and treated like lords.
The following morning we ascended the
mountain, saw the sights around, and
returned to the house wiser, if not better
boys. After an hour’s rest, we turned
our horses’ heads towards Elberton,
stopping only at Franklin Springs a
day or two. On Thursday we started
from the last named point singing
“Home, home, sweet. sweet home.
Be it ever so humble,
There’s no place like home.”
We arrived safely at home, feeling that
our recreation had benefitted us very
materially.
Hoping Mr. Editor, that we have not
worried you nor your readers with tins
attempted description of our little moun
tain trip, we remain, Yours truly,
Hamlet.
HOW THEY BUByTn NEW ORLEANS.
A letter to the Washington Star con
tains the following:
The famous shell road leading out to
Lake Ponchartrain nuis by the street
car track, and on the shell road was a
fireman’s funeral procession. It would
seem that the hearse horses must have
run with a “masheen” previously, and
thought they were heading for a fire in
stead of a cemetery, for they pulled out
at a tremendous rate, and the whole pro
cession went thundering after them at a
two-forty pace over the shell road. Af
ter awhile the procession got divided in
to two or three detachments, the fast
trotters keeping up with the hearse,
and the broken down livery horses break
ing up, unable to go the pace. Some of
the firemen who were belated, or unpro
vided with carnages, rode out in our
street car, and they insisted that the
driver should keep up with the funeral.
This made it lively. Our street car
made the best time on record. Squads
of laborers were employed all along the
line wheeling earth to fill up the old ca
nal, and it was interesting to hear our
driver yell to them to clear the track,
as we went tearing on to keep up with
the funeral. We reached the cemetery
in season to join the procession. A*
priest led it over the grass, through fra
grant magnolias and cape myrtles to a
w r all containing the arched cavities or
“ovens” in which the dead are interred
above the ground in New Orleans. In
one of these ovens the coffin was push
ed, the priest uttering a few rapid words
and the old sexton, with an expedition
acquired by twenty-five years’ practice,
closed up the mouth of the cavity with
brick and mortar ; a brother fireman,
who from his facility of hand was proba
bly a draughtsman, came forward, and
with some swift lines in the soft mortar
worked out the name of the deceased ;
and then the procession returned to
their carriages, which, however, scatter
ed, some going toward the lake and
some to the city, while others, contain
ing women and children, paused at a
roadside house, where fresh milk was
advertised. We asked our car conduc
tor if that was the pace at which fu
nerals were usually conducted in New
Orleans, and he said that was a good
deal the style.
A REMARKABLE RELIO.
The Baltimore American says:
The Moderator of the General Assem
bly, now in session in this city, will sit
in a chair that is a sort of heir loom of
Presbyterianism. It was used in the
fame u i Synod of Doat, in 1618, when
Deputies from England and the Reform
ed Church in Europe tried to reconcile
the doctrines of Luther, Calvin and Ar
minius. A Dutch family that emigrated
from Holland brought the chair to Al
bany, New York, in 1660. It has been
handed down from generation to gener
ation as a precious heir-loom, until it
was bequeathed to the Rev. Dr. Chester,
of Albany, about sixty years ago, and
from him it was transferred to the pres
ent owner, a Presbyterian gentleman of
this city.
It is a rather handsome, straight-back
ed chair, made of English cherry, not
near so massive or elegantly carved as
might be expected from its Dutch ori
gin. Some sleepy student of Calvin, or
Luther, or Arminius, some two hundred
and fifty years of age, permitted the can
dle to drop from his reading stand, and
one of the anus was slightly charred be
fore he woke up, and put the taper back
to its place. The morocco back evident
ly does not date back to the sixteenth
century, and is probably not more than
a hundred years old. So much solid
Calvanism rubbed against the original
leather that it was no doubt worn out
long before the Arminian tenets were
thoroughly demolished in Holland.—
This historic chair was sent down to Mr.
Stevens, at Calvert and Baltimore streets
and (there received an extra cushion
partly to preserve the old one, and part
ly to enhance the comfort of the Moder
ator.
Death.
Willis King, an industrious, hard
working citizen of the upper part of this
county, died last Saturday night. He
was buried with Masonic honors by Phi
lomathea lodge on Monday.
One of the gable ends of Mr. Emory’s
residence, in Thomson, was completely
shattered by lightning recently. The
head-board of the bed in which Mr. E.
was sleeping was knocked off by the
electric fluid, but doing no injury to the
occupant.
