MAJ. STEPHEN F. MILLER.
Most of oar readers of Milledgeville
remember well the form of Maj. Stephen
F. Miller who was connected with the
editorial management of the Southern
Recorder of this City, during the War
between the States, and for some time
afterward. We propose to give a very
brief sketch of him now, and shall notice
hereafter more at length his literary la
bors which occupied his busy and uses
ful life.
Maj. Miller was bom in Jones County
N. C. in 1805, and was the eldest of nine
children. He came to Georgia in 1824,
and was admitted to the practice of the
law in 1827. This he was compelled to
relinquish on account of a ^bronchial afs
fection ; and in 1840 he toek charge of
The Monitor, a Whig paper published at
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In the year 1848
he became associated with that miracle
of facts and figures, the late J. B. B. De-
Bow in the conduct of the celebrated and
liamed Review of N. Osleans with which
Mi-. DeBow s name and fame are so inti
mately associated. Here Maj. Miller’s
health failed and early in 1849 he was
associated first with his brother D. W.
Miller Esq., and afterward (in 1852) wiih
Samuel Hall Esq., in the practice of the
law in Georgia. At this time his busy
hands an 1 active brain effected the col
lection of that vast mass of interesting
materials which he embodied in the two
large octavo volumes entitled “The Bench
and Bar of Georgia” which was publish
ed in handsome style by Lippincott in
Philadelphia in 1858. Allibone in his
great Dictionary of Authors says of this
work. “The biographies (32 in number)
contains copious historical matter, illus
trating the monuments of Georgia for
fifty years.” And the accomplished Prof.
Jas Wood Davidson, in his elegant voL
ume entitled “Living Writers of the
South,” says, of this work, “It occupies
to the Bar of that State (Georgia) the
place that Judge O’Nea U’s Bench and
Bar of South Carolina does to that of the
Palmetto State.” About the year 1860,
he became an associate editor of the
Southern Recorder newspaper of this
City, which connectien ceased some time
after the War. He was subsequently
engaged in the practice of the law in But
ler in this State, and in Columbus, besides
is being actively engaged in several liter-
ary enterprises. He died in Columbus
on the 22d day of October 1873.
Maj. Miller left behind him five pub
lished literary works as follows: Heads
of the Alabama Legislature, 1843. Jieneh
and Jlar of Georgia, 1858. Memoir of
Jilackshear, 1859. _ Wilkins Wilder,
1860. Reminiscences of Public Men of
A’.- --1872. He also left the following
<yorks in manuscript which we trust may
reach publication at no distant day—1.
Recollections of Newbern—2. Autobio-
,'yLll'hy—3. Forty Yeras Ago; or Recol-
-'V’vtions of Twiggs county.
We shall, next week, give some literary
notice of Maj. Miller's last publication,
•'■Public Men in Alabama." Although
given to the public under the name of
Mr. William Garrett of Alabama, yet the
latter merely collected the materials, or
furnished them from the stores of his ca
pacious memory. Major Miller was “the
power behind the tin-one," the literary ar
tist who gave to the volume its handsome
style and lucid arrangement, and reduc
ed to order that which, before, was “with-
not form and void.” W. G. M.
Stimulant to Vegetation.
In the October number of the Eclectic
Magazine we find a brief but highly in
teresting article on the use of Camphor
as a stimulant to the seeds of vegetables.
Old seeds steeped in Camphor water ger
minate readily and vigorously which,
steeped in water alone, show no signs of
vitality. Many years ago this fact was
discovered and made known by a poor
old German of no great reputation. Lat
terly the statement of the discoverer fell
into the hands of an eminent German
Professor in a leading University, who
has thoroughly tested its truth, and gives
it to the world. He demonstrates that
Camphor mater used for soaking the
seeds of vegetables stimulate them in a
specific manner as marked and powerful
as do alcoholic drinks the animal economy.
We trust this discovery may prove a
useful one to floriculturists, and growers
of garden vegetables. The Eclectic Mag
azine is replete as usual with a wonder
ful variety of the very best of Magazine
articles. The face of Rev. Noah Por
ter, President of Yale College, looks on
ns through a fine steel engraving. “Mot
ley’s John of Barneveld”; “Ben Jonson” ;
‘ Star Gauging”; “Victor Hugo’s Roman
ces”; “The Grouping of Plants”; and the
serial story “Far from the Madding crowd”
are excellent. We do not mention many
others in this charming October number
because we have not had time yet to read
them. Published by E. R. Pelton, 108

HUGHMILLER.
Strangely enough,- in taking from our
book-case the volume of Prof. James
Wood Davidson’s, “Living Writers of the
South,” to extract therefrom a remark on
the late Maj. Stephen F. Miller in this is
sue, we lay oiu- hands on an old number of
anjillustrated newspaper, and our eyes rest
immediately on the following last note
ever written by the great Scotch Geolo
gist Hugh Miller, to his wife in his mo
ments of phrensy immediately before com
mitting that sad suicide which startled
and grieved the scientific world:
“Dearest Lydia—My brain bums. I must
have walked-, and a fearful dream arises up
on me. I cannot bear the horrible thought.
God and Father of the Lord Jesus Chnst
have mercy upon me. Dearest Lydia,
dear children, farewell. My brain burns
as the recollection glows. My dear, dear
wife, farewell.
Hugh Miller.
Hugh Miller was bom in 1802 in Cro
marty, Scotland, and pursued for many
years the laborious occupation of a quar-
ryman, or stone-mason. His daily toil
led him to a study of the rocks he en-»
countered in the quarries; and, as is well
known, he became profoundly versed in
geological science and gave to the world
many publications which hold a high
place in geological literature. During a
considerable portion of his earlier life he
labored for small daily wages in various
quarries in Scotland, wandering from one
to another. But he was a close observer
of the geological features of the rocks he
quarried, and achieved fame and fortune
by gathering up that knowledge which
thousands of other laborers failed to gain
with precisely the same opportunities.
Hugh Miller, however, overtasked his
brain by too severe application to study;
became subject to fits of mental derange
ment, and in one of these, wrote the note
given above, then shot himself through
his tortured brain with a pistol, at the
age of 54, in the year 1856.

White Cuff Springs,)
Monroe Co., Tenn., Sept. 19, 1874. )
Dear Union & Recorder :—We are
still “ruralizing” at the White Cliff
Springs. Most of the visitors have re
turned to their homes, but we manage to
enjoy ourselves rambling over the sur
rounding country in search of romantic
landscapes to hang away in Memory’s
picture-gallery. This region abounds in
picturesque scenes, which, once beheld,
2an never be forgotten. A few days since
Miss Vollie Simmons (a young lady from
Cleveland visiting the Springs,) and I
went down Tellieo river a distance of fif
teen miles, and spent two days collecting
specimens of Natural History. For the
first eight miles we travelled in an east
erly direction over a good level road, al
most wholly through a forest region.—
I believe we passed only two small ‘clear
ings.’ This brought us to the borders of
the Tellieo Plains, a fine level body of
cultivated land lying along Tellieo river,
some five or six miles long and from two
to three wide, almost surrounded by steep,
rugged little mountains over which, to
the east, peer the big, blue Alleghanies.
These plains are fertile and well-tilled,
and produce all the crops common to this
climate. Cotton, especially, is remarka
bly fine. Looking at the tall, strong
stalks and big bolls, one might readily
imagine oneself transported to the great
cotton fields of South-Western Georgia.
Com in this locality is also good. It
will average seventy five bushels to the
acre. Fruit is also very abundant here
this year. We passed many fine orchards
of both peaches and apples.
At the head of the Plains, where the
river loses itself among the mountains,
is the old furnace of the Tellieo Iron
Works, which have not been in operation
for years, although there is now some ex
pectation of their being opened again
soon.
Along the Plains are several commo
dious residences owned by some of our
“best families." Near the furnace are
mills and a store.
These Plains, now so peaceful and re
plete with plenty, were the scene of a
dreadful tragedy about the year 1758 or
1759. A Regiment of Scotch Highland
ers in the British service had been sent
by the government from Charleston, S.
C., through the mountains into the heart
of the Cherokee Country to preserve the
peaceful relations subsisting between the
two great peoples, the English and the
Cherokees. A strong fort was construct
ed at the mouth of Tellieo River and the
Regiment several hundred strong, occu
pied it for a few years in amity with the
grim warriors by whom they were sur
rounded. At length ill blood between
the races was engendered, and the old
“Fort Loudon” as it was named, was be
sieged by a mighty host of vengeful
Cherokee warriors. The siege finally
ended by a capitulation on the terms that
the Highlanders should surrender to the
savages all their arms and warlike stores
and should be permitted to march unmo
lested out of the Cherokee realm to
Charleston. The first day’s march brought
them to Tellieo Plains some twenty miles.
Here they slept after the weary march,
to be aroused before day the next morn
ing by the war-whoop and by the butchery
of the whole regiment! Only one or two
survivors were left to tell the story. Some
of the histories chronicle this as an in
stance of the most horrid Indian treache
ry; but it is due to the red warriors to
say that they found in the well of the
Fort a few hours after the Highlanders
had left it, a large supply of gun-powder
and aims which had been thrown in the
water, destroyed.and concealed in direct
violation of the terms of surrender. The
Indians always claimed that the massa
cre was done to punish this bad faith of
the whites. The precise spot of the mas
sacre is yet proserved tradition.
Here, we crossed the river and proceeded
down some 5 miles to “The Narrows,”
where it winds its limped waters through
a deep little gorge, there being just room
for the road along the shore. Again the
hills recede and allow space for some fine
alluvial land, bearing heavy crops of corn.
The road now leaves the river and crosses
Cane creek, one of the clearest and swift
est of mountain streams. Here we stop^
ped to collect fresh water shells,
which were very abundant, and of several
desirable varieties. Cane creek runs
through some beautiful meadow»,in which
were browsing fine horses and cattle.
One peculiarity it can boast, is the unusu
al number of water-snakes that snn them
selves on the luxuriant brush overhang
ing its banks. As we approached, a per
fect army of them dropped into the water
in all directions. Its bright sands also
contain gold. In some places it has been
“panned” out in paying quantities. Some
little bare footed boys from the school-
house near by, came down and helped us
gather shells, and asked many questions.
They were bright children of an inquisi
tive turn of mind, and seemed vastly in
terested in our novel vocation. We ram
bled along Cane creek, until the slanting
sunbeams warned us to pursue our jour
ney to Mr. Hitower’s, where we purposed
spending the night. We had to leave
the main road, and pass round a rugged,
isolated mountain, called Peaky-top. See
ing one of the yoemen of the country ap
proaching, we agreed, for fun as well as
information to enquire the way to Mr.
H’s. residence. After a short delay for
the purpose of finding out who we were,
he began giving us the desired informa
tion, which I believe ran something like
this : “Jest keep this straight road, and
don’t turn off nowhar; you go through
Bell-town, then right on past Samps Hol
comb's and my house, then go on a little
furder and take off to the right hand, and
arter you cross a little dreen on two, you
come to a'field. Right thar you kin see
his bam. an’ ef you could git through,
you could soon git thar; but you hev
to keep on round a mighty rough path.
You can’t well miss the way.” Armed
cap-a-pie with these lucid directions, we
proceeded and kept a sharp lookout for
Bell-town but in vain as we did not dis
cover this interesting mountain village
until our return the next morning. At
length we found that “keep this straight
road” meant to turn to the left at a right
angle; and “take to the right hand"
meant to turn down a devious little path
to the left; and by dint of perseverance
we reached oar destination in due time.
But I suspend here; will conclude in an
other letter. Annie E. Law.

into an oasis. The French Government
will have a careful reconnoissar.ee made,
with estimates of the cost of the propos

Scientific wiseacres, however spring up
and object on the ground that a great
changewould result to the climate of France
from increased evaporation. These are
answered fully by Capt. Rondaire.

RE MAKING A SEA.
Careful examination of a portion of the
territory of Algeria reveals the fact that
a lake or bay once existed there, formerly
connected with the Mediterranean Sea
by a channel which has been closed np
by sand-drifts. Evaporation being great
er than rain-fall in that region, the bot
tom of the lake finally beogne dry land.
The name of the ancient lake wu
Triton.
Captain Rondaire of the French Army
proposes to cut a canal through the
sands 75 miles from the Mediterranean to
the bed of Lake Triton and thns restore
its waters. The result would be the crea*
tion of an important interim* sea covering
an area equal to 200 miles long and 37
miles wide. This would put a French
maritime port in the Sahara, add to the
fertility of the soil, and modify the arid
fWf of that region hj pnigdig ni*

BAD BLOOD!
“ A corrupt tree,’” snith tbe Inspired Volatile,
“bringeth forth not good fruit,” nor can corrupt blood
impart health, beauty and good tiesh, or spirit*. ‘•The
Blood is the Life,” and health can only be enjoyed in
its full perfection where the blood iafcept iu a pare and
uncorrupted state, hence the necessity of pure blood,
to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, long life and
happiness.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF *THE BLOOD
manifests itself in different forms of diseases, soch as
Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-bead, Ring-worm*. Pimple*,
Blotches, Spot*, Eruption*, Pustule*, Boil*, Carbun
cles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin, Scurf, Scrofulous Sores,
Swellings, Fever Sore*, White Swelling*, syphilitic
affection* of the i-kiu, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the
Liver,.Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs aud Uterus-
In this condition of things something is needed at
once to cleanse the blood, and neutralize the insidious
poison that
BURNS LIKE 4 TERRIBLE FIRE
a* it courses throngh tbe veins, sowing seed* of death
with every pa!*ation.
Dr. Peinbetti-n’s Compound Extract of Stilliogin
(or Qneen’s Delight) will positively effect tbh desid
eratum, expelling every trace of disease from the
blood and system, and leaving the skin
SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseeses of the blood, Uverond kidneys, thia
Great Vegetable Alterstivs is without a rival. It wiB
cure any Chronic or Long tt’ ending Disease whose real
ordirect cause is BAD BLOOD. Rheumatism, Pain*
in Limbs or Bone?, Constitution broken down by Mer
eurial or other poisons, are cured by it. For Syphillis
or Syphilitic Taiut there is nothing equal to it. A trial
will prove it. It is a must useful Spring and Fall Pu
rifier of tbe Blood.
Its safety and innocence have been fully tested, an
that it may be administered to the most tender iufaut
nr Beware of counterfeits and substitutes. Try
the Genuine Extract QUEEN'S DELIGHT, prepared
by Dr. J. 8- PEMBERTON, Atlanta. Oa.
