to the early fruit. Eut even after they
shall have been reduced two-thirds or three
fourths there will be margin enough left to
make a Georgia peach orchard a profitable
piece of property. Ihe railroads offer to carry
the fruit at $1 ' a car to Nashville, s>o a car to
Louisville and Cincinnati. $-,*l a car to St. L uis
and Indianapolis, and Sbl a car to Chicago,
Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit These are to
t e the rates both on peaches and watermelons.
Tne demand in Northern cities for early fruit
and vegetables grows faster than the supply,
ard Southern farmer* living in localities pos

than to take advantage of the fact.”
An enthusiastic railroad meeting was held
at the opera house in Griffin on Thursday last,
June Ist. The meeting ws entirely harmoni
ous, an I showed earnestness in the work, as
will be seen by the following reso utions,
which were auopted: “Whereas, it appears
lha by the completion of th * Macon and
Brunswick extension through to Atlanta, it
will i am rally draw largely upon ih“ trad-of
Griffin unless averted by counter influences;
iherefore, resolved, that it is the sense and
judgment of me people of G iffin and contigu
• us territory that a line of railroad from Griffin
to Locust Grove, or some n-ar point on the
line of the Macon an J Brunswick extension, is
the only means of safety left to us, thereby
making our city a terminal point and securing
lower rates of freight, and though the com
p tition thereby crea'e 1 enable our merchants
aid tradesmen to offer such inducements to
-orrounding country in the way of prices
us will bind th*-m more strongly to us in the
future. Resolved, further. That a committee
composed ut seven men from the city and two
from th*country along the proposed road, be
appointed to canvass the merchants, farmers
and business men, and report the amount each
wot subscribe to the proposed enterprise.
Resolved, further. That a committee of three
e appointed to confer with railroads and capi
talists for the purpose of soliciting friend y
aid and eo rperation. Resolved, still further,
rhat when this meeting adjourns it a j urn
to meet at this place on the 15th instant, to
hear the report of these committees.”
It is estimated that ten thousand people
witnessed the executimof Hsnvey, the mur
derer of Arthur Mcilillen. at Carrollton. A
correspondent of the Constitution giv*s the
following description of the scene: "Hanvej
arrived at the gallows at I'<S o’clock under a
eavy guar.*, riding between his fath-r and
h-r ff Hewitt. As he mounted the scaffold
li< step was firm and elastic. Firs* in order
was the religious servic-s by the Carrollton
ministry, after which llanvey addressed the
vast cone u r se in the most touching and pa
thetic language declaring that strong drink
and bad company had brought him to tbis
awful condition, and he hep and that his un
timely fate would serve as a warning to the
pe pi- of Carrollton and ad the world: that he
cherished in his heart no ill-will or malice
gainst ai yone; that he had never known
Arthur HcMiilen. for whose mu der he was
ab ut to atone his life blool, until the day
on which he committed the terriole deed, and
li*n he awoke next morning and fo ind him
-e f in jail he asked bis fellow prisoners where
he was ail 1 what had brought him here. He
sid he had no fears as to his future happiness,
thtt he had received afu 1 and free par.i n for
ad his sins. He spoke about fifteen minutes,
and said many good things in Ihe way of ad
vice anl warning His voice was clear and
distinct and audible at a considerabl- distance.
\t ihe conelus'on of Hanvey’s remarks he said
h s picture was on -ale for the benefit of his
wife and four little children, aud that was all
he iia.i to leave them. Then afte bidding his
relatives and fri-nds a long farewell, aud
thanking Sheriff Hewitt and others for their
km l treatrn* nt, he was pi -ced on the fatal
trap, the black cap pulled oown, his arms
pinioned and the ncose adjusted. The She. id
exc'aimeo: ’in the fear of God anu in behalf

In the twinkling of an eye James E Haovey
was launched into eternity, ihe ex cuti n
was perfect, rut he died without any apparent
struggle, and in twelve minutes life was ex

and sentence* to ceath, and who was to have

We are in the Gazette's co para’ive state

Winter in town and summer on the salts is

fer the same, with a good salary. •
On the Ridge years ago, when there was
rule prosp- ct of tie city's being soon, if ever,
rebuilt, the vestry, assisted by the lad is
bought a beautiful site, with one of those
hastily erected summer houses already on it,
but In a dilapidated condition, which, having
been somewhat repaired.was used temporarily
for a rectory. On the other half of th large
lot was built Ft Andrew’s Church, started at
fl*st in one extremity as school-house ard
church com v ined, but through the efforts of
the Senior Warden, Mr. Qignilliat, saved ilia'
fate, as he finished the upstairs as a school
room This school room was afterwards aban
doned altogether, and so was the rectory, or
r* nted at times to people needing a place.
When the church in town was built it was
called St. Andrew’s once more, and the other
became “St. Andrew’s on the Ridge." Now
these two churches became a drag and a hug
bear to the ministers, but beiog only three
miles apart and the drive a needed recreation,
there is no reason why there should not be a
morning sermon in one place and an evening
or afternoon service In the other, or all at one
church in winter ant all at the other in summer.
There is a lit le lay-reading in a very quiet
way, but it is not like church service
There are about twenty-five or thirty vessels
in port and others are constantly arriving.

THE NATONAL CAPITAL.
GREENBACKEII LOWE SEATED.
Another Democratic Protest Fx*
eluded from the Journal—Text of
the Document —The Etght*Honr
Law,
Washington, June 3.—lmmediately after
reading the journal the H mse resumed con
sideration of the Alabama contes’ed elec
tion case of Lowe vs. Wheeler, Mr. Wheeler
being accorded the floor to close the argu
ment In his own beholf.
Mr. Wheeler reviewed the law and the
facts in the case, and deduced therefrom
the conclusion that he had been fairly and
honestly elected as a member of the Forty
seventh Congress. He then yielded to Mr,
Springer, of Illinois, who contended that if
Lowe were to be seated it would be upon
tissue ballots, and gave notice that he
would offer a resolution recommitting the
case, and instructing the committee to as
certain the number of tissue ballots cast for
either party, aud to report who was elected
af er rej-ctlng sll such ballots. It w.ts a
serious matter for honorable centlemen
voting to seat a man upon tissue ballots,
which could be read as well on one side as
on the other. If ever there had been a
fraud perpetrated on the ballo’-box that
little ticket was that fraud, ami in order to
seat the contestant 1,294 of them must be
counted.
Mr. Calkins stated that though he had
carefully examined the case he had for the
firs’ time heard to-day of tissue ballots.
They bad no’ been mentioned in the plead-
Ines or arguments before the Committee on
Elections.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, criticised the
action of the D<mocra:s in contested elec
*ion cases, declaring that the Forty-seventh
Congress would pass into history as one in
which the Democratic minority sought by
means hi'herto unemployed In parba
mentary practice to prevent the House from
exercising its unquestioned constitutional
right to judge of the election of Its own
members It looked to him as though It,
were a well organized plan on the part of
the Democra’s, under the leadership of the
gentleman from Penrsylvanta (Mr. Randall)
to prevent the unseating of Democratic
members from the Sou‘h, regardless
of the means or methods by
which they were dtclared elected.
The Northern Democracy realized that
without a solid Bouth P was nothing, and
the South cou'tl not be k‘-nt solid bv hon
esty at the polls. It looked aif the South
ern Democracy had setv*d notice on the
Northern D mocracy that urtles* it stood
by the members sent from the South the
partnership would be dissolved. He
hen proceeded to read extracts front
Bouthem journals urging the Democratic
party in the Hou*e to exercise the power of
the minority to the uttnos’ in order to pre
vent the ousting of Soul hern members, ami
declaring that any failure co stand shoulder
to shoulder with the Sou’hern Dam- craey
would weaken the party in the Sou’b, if it
did not knock the ho*:tom out of it alto
gether. That, he Insisted, was the order thst,
had gone forth, and was the true reason for
the struggle.
In conclusion, Mr. Barrows appealed for
an honest ballot aud a fair count. The
republic could withstand the shock of
revolution; It could orercome invasion by a
foreign foe; It could endure th” murder of
its Executive bead, but it could not long
su*vive the a-stssination t f its soverlgn
will of the ballot-box against this high
crime aimed at a nation’s life. He entered
a na'iori’seter al protest. [Applause ]
Mr. H-izelton, of Wisconsin, demanded
'he previous question, pending which Mr.
Springer moved to recomctif, with inslruc
Hons, ard placed that morion in the form of
a reeoiu'lon and preamble. The preamble
-et for h tht a number of so called de
position o , < fferrd hy the contestant, were
never certified and did not show that any of
the pretend ’d witnesses were sworn, and
that some of the depositions had been
changed since the * x unination.
At this point Mr. Reed, of Maine, ob
jected to its further reading, claiming that,
*h> preamble was merely a tp-ech, and
made the point of order that, n was no’,
proper to be inco’pirated in the motion to
recotnmi’. In arguing h's point of order
he stated that the allegations in the pream
ble were untrue,and that the resolution had
come in under false pretenses, inasmuch at
the gentleman from Illinois had merely
given notice that he would move to recom
mit with instruc'ions.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, sai l that it
wa due to the gentleman fr m I ltnois (Mr.
Springer) to a’ate that the preamble wa* not
drawn up by him, but was placed In his
charge. Af’er he had conclude I bis spe j cb
Mr. Springer declared that he had acted in
perfect good faith, and that if the gentle
man from Maine (Mr. Reed) insisted to the
contrary he was acring without th“ slightest
foundation. If he wa* the bonorab’e gentle
man he (Mr. Springer) had alwaas regarded
htm to be, he would, In the face of the
House and country, withdraw th“ Insinuation
of had M’h and falsehood. Will he do so?
Mr Reed —He does not.
Mr. Springer—Then I state that the gen
tleman take* the chances of doing what no
honorable gentleman should do—'mpuriog
bad motives and false motives to another
member.
Mr. Reed—l am rpa ly to take it.
Tne Speaker ruled that the resolution was
not in order on the ground that portions of
the preamble were in the na’ure of debate.
Mr. Springer was successful, however, In
getting 'he whole of the preamble in the
Record by appealing from the decision of
the Chair. The appeal was laid on the
table.
Mr. Springer then moved to recommit,
with Instruc'ions to the committee to ascer
tain the number of tissue ballots cast for
either Lowe or Wheeler and to report a
resolution giving the seat to the one having
the highest number of legal votes after re
jecting all such tissue ballots. The motion
was lost —yeas 91; nays 132—a parly vote,
except Mr. Bmi!h, of New Yo:k, who voted
with the Republicans.
The previous question was then ordered

the contestant In this case were never cerli
fl*d to be depositions by any commissioner
nor certified in any way wha’ever; whereas,
fifty papers called depositions in this case
have no signature recognized by law;
whereas, one hundred and twenty deposi
tions, offered by thecon’estee, have nothing
in them to show that aDy of the witnesses
were sworn, and none of the said one
huodred and twenty depositions have any
certificate further than the following
words: “Signed before me In day aud
year above mentioned. R W. Firg, N. P;”
wherea*, in taking thirty of these pretended
depositions, the commissioner refused to
allow the contesiee to cross-examine the
witnesses in any way whatever, or to pro
pound any questions to them in any way
whatever; whereas, fifty of said pretended
depositions were taken pursuant to false
notice served on the contestee, said false
notice s’ating that the contestant would
take evidence at or near Pleasant Hill,
when the contestant Intended, and did
take evidence at a place more
than six miles from Pleasant Hill;
whereas, the record In this ca*e shows that
in taking said evidence the amanuensis who
wrote said evidence did not write it down
as it was given by the witnesses, but, he
wrote it down to convey a meaning and ffer
ent from the meaning expressed by the wit
nes*; whereas, in taking one hundred of

the papers above mentioned; whereas,
none of said so-called depositions
were taken as required by laws enacted by
Congress for taking depositions; whereas,
the House of Representatives of the United
8 ates should not deprive a member of his
prirna facie right to a seat except pursuant
*o law; whereas, the contestee, at as early a
day as possible, filed proper motions
to suppress the pretended testimony;
whereas, the committee has failed to pass
on said motions; whereas, although the

(■rcenback Bargain.
Washington, June 4—There has been a
good deal of talk in Georgia in regard to
the relation between Mr. Stephens and the
Very R'ght Reverend Dr. Felton, D. D.—
the D. D. is superfluous, but I want to give
the reverend ex-politician the full title fo
which he may be entitled. A number of
people in Georgia have said that Mr. S’e
phens is in close correspondence po’itica'ly
with the reverend doctor, and that between
the two there is a strong umbilical cord of
so-called independence—ln other words,
that Mr. Stephens and Dr. Felton stand in
together politically. lam fortified by facts
to say that there is nothing in politics that
i. common between Mr. Stephens and the
reverend doctor. Mr. Stephens has writ
ten several letters to Dr. Felton, all of
which, except one, were of a private
character. The one letter that dealt in any
way with politics was the one that Dr. Fel
ton published in the Georgia pre6*. That
letter showed no sffl iation, whatever, in
politics between Fel’on and the n* xt Gov
ernor of Georgia. None of the other letters
refer to anything except, private matters.
The p-ople who are trying to demons’rate
that the reverend doctor and Mr. S ephens
are politically affiliated, may as well hang
their harps on the willows.
CONGRESSIONAL BUSINESS.
This week the members of the House ex

The Appropriation Cimmlttee is arx’ous to

PLEASANT’S TROUBLE.
Ina recent dispatch to the News It, was
stated that Pleasants was having trouble in
Brrangit g hi* bond in qualification for the
office of Collector of Internal Revenue a*
Savannah. The ex ct, character of Pleasants’
trouble was not then given, because It was
not known. It has now been ascertain’d
I', Is learned that. Ihe objection to Pleasan’s’
bond as at present constituted is the pres
ence up n it, of the name of a Democrat.
The local R publicans allege that this Dem
ocrat would not have gone on the bond had
it, not been for a promise on the part of
Pleasants that he ('he aforesaid Democrat)
should have a hard In the distribution of
the patronage of the offl -e, and a big hand
at that. They, in fact, allege a cor
rupt bargain between Pleasauts and the
Democratic bondsman. It is not learned
here who the Democrat Is, hut the private

subject—received bv the Internal Revenue
Bureau describe h’m as a ‘’low, drunken

the bargain.
It has been established beyond a doubt
that there was a regular bargain between
the Republicans and Greenback'*™ Id Ccn
gre*sovtr the election cases. The Green
backers agreed to support Ihe Republicans
In their arbitra’y spoliation of seats, with
the understanding that the Republicans In
turn would put In their Greenback contest
ant in place of Wheeler, from Alabama.
With thinly disguised speeches of supposed
Independence the endeavored
to shield the bargain from publicity. In
other words, they spoke for the Demo
cratic contes’ee, and then voted for the
Republican contestant,, and by their votes
helped the robbery of the legitimate polls
In the last Congressional elecrim. The
Grepubackers then carried out their part ot
the bargain. The Republicans, by putting
in Lowe, the Alabama Greenbacker, and
turning out General Wheeler, the legally
elected Representative, fulfill their part of
the bargain. Such Is the game of polities
as carried on by men who, as a rule, In other
matters are honest.
MR. STEPHENS AND THE CAMPAIGN.
Mr. Stephens’ sprained ankle is much
better. He is now able to wear a moccasin
on the left foot aud to bear a little weight
on it. Mr. Stephens will remain in Wash
ing’on until after the session and will then
go to Georgia. He intends to make a tour
of speech-delivering during the Guber
natorial compatgn. This provided, of course,
that, his health will permit it. Mr. Stephens
bolds that the du'y of a candidate is to
appear before the people if he is able to do
so. He will show, among other things, the
exact character of the misunderstanding
Hnd mistakes which put htm down as ever
defying the Democratic parly.

Scarboro, June 3— Editor Morning News:
We have perused with unusual interest, the
many glowing accounts of the crop prospect
from various portions of the State, and it is
with pride that we assert that not one of them
exceed the expectations of the farmers in our
county. The recent oat croc, just gathered,
surpasses any previous harvest in the memory
of our oldest citizens, and this fact
alone we, think if no other could
be given, is an unquestionable
evidence of cur having taken a step in the
right direction, since the high prices we are
continually paying for Western grain and hay
is thus avoided. Our people are adopting that
grandest of all mottos: “Economy is wealth.’'
This is exemplified by the waving fields of
green corn gently bending to the summer
breezes, that greets the eye of the passer-by.
These lands have been planted in cotton for
fourteen and fif’een consecutive years,
end it is with pride we note th's change.
We have always advocated the produc
tion of our own supplies, and it fills our heart
with indescribable joy to realize that our plant
ers are at last being aroused from the danger
ous lethargy in which they have lain dormant
for so manv years. The growth of the yrung
crops has been somewhat impaired, oe Ing to
the extreme laten> ss of the spring, but the re
cent refreshing rain* and sunny days have im
parted new vigor into their tender shoots, and
the ou’look is certainly encouraging. The
small cro’ S of potatoes and sugar cane are in
fine condition, and eive a flattering prospect
of an abundant yield. Our wives are happy
over th* fine garden prospects §nd the yards
filled wiih chirkens.
The no fence law is now a thing of the past.
Our good farmers surpassed the advocates of
this obnoxious law in such overwhelming
number* that they wisely concluded that ‘dis
cretion i* the better part of valor,” and the
question has never been voted upon.
We noticed, however, in a local journal re
cently that a debating society in our county,
after ablv discussing the qu-stion. both "pro
and con,” rendered an im artial decision in
the affirmative. This must have had its effect,
as we notice in a more recent issue of the
paper that the style of the society has been
changed into a “mock court.”
Various enterprises have been started in our
community, some of which are being rapidly
pushed forward to completion. Most n itab’e
sniorg these is the steam saw mill of Messr*.
James A. Fulcher &Cos Tbis enterprising
fl’m has established their mill iu Bulloch
county, and at present is engaged in building
a mammoth tram road across the Ogeechee
river, which will be so constructed that
vehicles, such as wagons, buggies and carts,
can use the bridge. The road will terminate
at Rocky Ford, at which point the firm has
built a commodious storehouse. The commer
cial advantages of this place will no doubt be
greatly enhanced, as oneof the finest forests of
yellow pine lumber in our State will then be
brought near to market.
The political season is fast rolling around,
and candidates are already buckling on their
armor. Flections will soon take place to fill
several positions of trust, one of the most im
portant being that of State Senator from the
Seventeenth Senatorial district. Scriven, if we
mistake not is entitled to the next choice, and
we do hope that our voters will not disregard
that discre’ion that has always b en such a
striking characteristic of our actions. We
have a suggestion to make, and in
making it we feel that it will
not only be respected and indorsed all over
onr county, but throughout the entire dis
trict. He is a Christian gentleman, of a pure
and spotless character He does not seek
office. Has always been a staunch friend to the
poor man and the tax payer It is hardly
necessary for us to say that this good citizen
is no other than Judge Wensly Hobby, of
Sylvania. who, if nominated, will lead to a de
cisive victory.
A gloom has overspread our county for some
time pa-t, occasioned by the illness of our
Congressional Representative, Col. George R.
Black, at Washington, but it is being gradually
lifted by the encouraging news we a-e almost
daily receiving of his ultimate recovery. It
would seem that the Great Ruler of the Uni
verse w 11 answer the prayers of his many
friends,which, mingled with the simple rupli na
tions of even the little Sunday school children,
ascend to His throne in Christian purity be
seeching that he may be restored to his admir
ing constituent. Our State can ill afford to
loose the valuable services of this prominent
statesman, whose political career is unsullied
and is embellished with the Jeffersonian stamp.
Our citizens and people in general through
out this section are highly elated over the
prospect of securing for our next Governor
the great veteran commonor, Hon. A. H.
Stephens. We also note with pleasure that
our fireside companion, the Morning News,
indorses his candidacy, and while it pain* us
to observe the bitterness with which some of
our country editors denounce him, yet we con
sole ourselves with the reflection that his life
has been devoted to overcoming obstacles, and
how successful he has been we all knew.
We have recently traveled over nearly the
entire county, and, if what the people say cn
be adopted as a criterion, their greatest de
light would be to take the gubernatorial
wreath, and with it adorn the brow of that
sagacious statesman, "The Sage of Liberty
Hall.”
But we have said enough, and now close, but
before closing we pause to reflect, and that
reflection is, our people are rejoiced at the
prospect of our triumphant victory with
Stephens as our armor bearer
Ephraim Bmall.

Bainbridoe, June I. —Editor Morning News'
In my first letter from here a few days ago
brevity confined me to the railroad extension
question aud a few hints about the future
prospect of Bainbridge and Decatur county I
now propose to show a solid foundation for tte
hopes and anticipations of the citizens in that
bright future, by some references to the histo
ry. geography, topography, progress and ca
pacity of both.
Decatur county lies in the extreme south
western corner and is one of the largest in the
Stale, having an area of thirty-five by fifty
miles, nearly equally divided by the Flint river,
navigable to Albar y. Its western boundary is
the Chattahoochee river, giving the county the
gr. at • dvantage of two large navigable streams
connecting it with the Gulf of Mexico, about
seventy miles and stant. Its territory od
the west of the Flint Is mostly
level pine land covered with fins tim
ber, now attracting the attention of Northei n
mill men—one individual now prospecting
with the view of purchasingcne himdrtd thou
sand acres of timbered lands for a Wisconsin
firm. The territory on the east of the Flint,
somewhat the largest, is also much the mosi
elevated, rising to the altitude’of 3:8 reet at
Fowltown (south of Bainbridge), above tide
water, and 315 feet at Climax mne miles east
of Bainbridge, while the town of Bainbridge is
perched upon a bluff on the east bank of the
Flint, 835 feet above the sea level. The lands on
the west side are gently undulating, capable of
good drainage, and fertile; but those on i In
cast are peculiarly broken, high hills and deep
valleys, with every variety of soil, and in many
localities picturesque and beautiful toasurp* is
ingdegree. In addition to the rivers named,
the county has many bold creeks, some of large
size and already used for milling pur
poses, upen which border the principal
hummock lands, alluvial and very fertile in the
river bottoms, but lighter and not so durable
along the greater elevai ions of the ere ks ■■ nd
branches. There are also two or three beauti
ful lakes, while in the northern part of the
county there are two natural curiosities
worthy to be visited by scientists. They have
been described as follows by Col. Charles J
Munnerlyn, a well known distinguished ciiizen
of Decatur county, who, I am glad to say, still
enjoys life upon his large plantation but a ftw
miles distant:
"An ext:n.ive cave, called ‘Blowing Cave,’
from the face that there is a percep'ibie issue
of wind from its mouth. The other curiosity
is ‘The Sink,’ called fo by pre-eminence, as it
is supposed to be the deepest in the county,
being over one hundred feet deep A beaut fu!
stream of water, upon which are now some fine
mills, erected bv Mr. L. O. Jackson, empties
into the sink and disappears. The sides of
the sink are lined by bold, jutting lime rocks,
andlbeyare covered with mosses and ferns:
the whole presenting a picture of great
beauty.”
Clear,beautiful springs of water abound in t he
county, and one deserves special mention. The
"Lime Spring,” or springs which form Spticg
Cre* k, some of them covering an acre or more
of ground, very deep and clear, const, tute a
place of summer resort for parlies of young
people and others in quest of sport. "Fish of
many varieties,” says Colonel Munnerlyn
•‘can always be seen swimming and feeding in
their depths. During the summer, when the
water in the creeks becomes warm, the rock
fi-h collect in large numbers in Ihe springs,
and furnish great sport, being speared by
totch light ”
One of these spearing parties recently cap
tured in the springs nineteen fine reel.fi-h
aggregating over three hundred pounds, whil
one individual drew the scales at thirty-six
pounds While the streams abound in
fine fish of manv varieties, the fore ts
and fields furnish equal attraction in
wild game, such as deer, turkeys,
squirrels, rabbits, partridges, doves, snipe and
water fowls on the lakes and rivers. No county
in the Si ate is better provided with natural
means of enterta'n ment for its citizens, and the
high order of intelligence and moral tone per
vading (he white population sufficiently ind -
cate the efficiency of its well supported schools
and academies.
Though the county was laid out in 1883, mak
ing it now about fifty nine years old, it was laid
out in the wilderness, and in dangerous prox
imity to th fighting grounds of the Indians, a
bat'le with whom had been fought at Fowltown
in 1818, where a Mr Hughes, a flfer of tte com
mand, was killed, the accident of whose burial
on the high bluff at Bainbridge gave his name
to the fore which occupied the bluff at the time
Bait bridge was surveyed and laid out by John
Dona'dson, Wm. Powell and Wm. Chester in
1824, upon a tidy acre lot donated by citiz-n
Robert Douglass.
The vast vacant territory between this new
town and the settled regions of a great State,
to absorb the moving population, was s' fliciem
reason for slow growth, but other localities in
the county had preceded it in settlement,*nd no
tably Fort Scots, twelve miles south of Bain
bridge, on the west side of Flint river, near the
lime, or “White Springs,” already mentioned.
As many as twelve hundred toldi-rs were at
one time at that post, under the famous hero
of St. Marks. Pensaco'a and New Orleans, which
concentrated immigration upon that, locality
of safety from the Indians, and consequently,
all the trade and importance of the new coun
try. For many years after the removal of the
troops, Fort Scott continued to command the
trade of two splendid rivers and the adjacent
territory, and until Bainbridge. much better
located, began to show remarkable growth and
energy.
Fort Scott then began to cPeline. and to-dav
it is one of the "dead towns” of Georgia with
an unwritten history, so far as I am aware.
Opposite this old fort, on the east side of Ihe
Flint, was Camp Curry, a locality chosen for
the better health of the soldiers static ned at
the junction of the Flint and Chatt hoochee, a
few miles below, which was considered very
unhealthy. Camp Curry is the resting p'aoe of
the rem ins of about three hundred of the
heroes who sacrificed ail for the happy popula
tion now enjoying the fruits of their pa'.i iotisin
and self sacrifice, and I am glad to announce,
even at this late date, that through the inter
vention of Judge M. O’Neal, of Bainbridge, and
Hon William H. Turner, in Congress from this
district the government has ordered the err c
tion of befitting monuments to these noble
dead. One of these monuments will be erected
at Camp Curry, and the other over the remains
of the solitary victim of the battle of Fowltown.
deposited, as before stated, at Fort Hughes,
now Bainbridge. It may be stated as a bit of
interesting nistory that Hughes—whose given
name I could not learn—during the blind battle
in the forest, gallantly mounted to the summit
of an Indian wigwam, from which the enemy
had been driven, and, thus conspicuous, played
his fife wjth great vigor. While in this position
he received the fatal bullet, and proved to be
the only casualty of the battle on the side of
the whites. But further remarks must be re
served for another letter. B.

News: In the City of Broth . wove it has
been the custom of years past among many of
the old families to remove to Germantown on
the first of May, and there remain until tha
first of October. So wedded are the Philadel
phians to this habit that no matter how cool
the weather may be (and they often have it
very cold on the first of May), they must obey
the time-honored custom and migrate to
the cooler (?) air of that huge appendage ta
to their city. In Florida, on the contrary, June
is the season for our summer hegira, and nosr
busy preparations are being made for that
event. Those having cottages at St. Theresa, on
James Island, on the Gulf, have been there to
have the necessary work done in repairs Some
ten or twelve years ago this little village was
quite a favorite resort, but its out of the way
location, and the inconvenience of access de
terred many from going, and finally those who
had built cottages an i had summered
there for several yeirs abandoned
it But now, that provision has been
made for srmi-werkiy communication from
St. Marks, the interest in that healthy Iccility
and delightful summer resort has been revived,
in a very few weeks the now deserted village
will have a population <f s-veral hundred
souls—its post office with a semi-weekly mail,
its school-mistress for the rising generation,
and all the accessories that will make it a
p easant resort. The location is said ro he re
markably healthy, and a case of malarl 1 fever
has never been known there. Heretofore ita
visitors were subject-d to a passage on an un
comfortable, slow going and uncertain sailing
craft, or a tedious trip of a day or two
over execrable roads. But now the trip can be
made from Tallalia-see in four hours by mil to
Ft Marks, nnd thence by sreamer to James
Island. The head of the family can now atiend
to h : s business here during the week, leaving
on Saturday, spending a quiet Sibbath win
his family, and return early on Monday morn
ing. In former times it would occasionally
take an entire week to go and come. One thing
is lacking, however—a good hotel. The ftw
boarding houses will be taxed to their utmost.
But, as a hotel wi 1 pay, we may expeet that in
another year there wiil be one The "season”
usually lasts from Ist June to 15th October.
From a gentleman who recently visito 1 Par
abelie, another sett'ement on James Island
and about twelve miles from Sr. Theresa, I
'earn that this emb yo seaport is a th-iving
place of about six hundred inhabitants. Seven
or eight years ago there was not a building on
the present site; now it boasts of severd large
saw mills, stores, comfortable dwellings, and
[ast but not least, a good, large hotel. My in
formant stated that there was a vim and pluck;
among the people that was truly ref eshing—
every one seemed busy. Several large foreign
ships, besides coasters, were being loaded with
lumoer in tha harbor, new buildings were go
ing up and the busy hum of industry greeted
ihe ear from every quarter. Already ihe in
fant colony was assuming the airs of a port of
entry, which it will be eventually. Carabelie
is the gu f terminus of the proposed railroad to
I'homasville via Tallahassee, and from its po
sition, depth cf water in the har
bor, and other advantages, is des
tined to beccrno a very important point,
provided a road shall be constructed there
from. and that I regard as by no means proble
matical. To Mr. Kelly, the found-r of the
colony, much credit is due. He succeeded
where others fai ed. Some fifteen years ago a
paity owning most of the land in that section,
■it considerable expens", put up a large mill
n-ar the mouth of ihe Oeklockonee river, near
James Island, bit the mill was too far from
deepwater. The owner resiled in New York,
and the parties in charge, from some
Ca'-se or other, failed to make it a
paying investment. The mill was Fold
and its large boilers and ponderous machinery
we-e transported to the interior, and the pro
j actors lost some ten or fifteen thou-and dol
ars. This did not dishearten Kelly, wlm knew
no such work as fail. He built his mill near
deep water on James Island, named ids place
Carabelie, and meat to work. He used
printers’ ink freely. The mill paid, and an
oiher was put up. andstil! another and now he
has the proud satisfaction of building up bv
hi-- indomitable energy quite a little mart.
Here in this city we have a similar instance
of success in a certain line rf business, where
others have faded. I refer to Betton’s Gulf
Seaside Library and news stand. That man
who encourages a taste for good reading by
the sale of newspapers, periodicals and
choice literature is a public benefactor. Re
peated attempts had been made by various
parties to establish a neus stand here, hut ihe
patronage they received was ro limited
that after a few months the enter
priss was abandoned. The absence of
such a convenience was seriously felt by many
of us, until in 1878, Mr. Julian Betton came to
the rescue He began with a very small capi
tal and wth but a li-nited stock. At first his
sales were slow—the taste of a community
must b * educated—but he was not dishearten
ed; his close attention to business, his readi
ness to eccommodate the wants of his custom
ers. soon had the usual effect. As ids sales in
creased. he eu arged his stock, and to-dav he
has ten thousai and volumes of the Gulf Sea
side Library, besides a large and valu
able assortment of oth“r books, station
ery, newspapers, periodicals, etc, without:
doubt ihe largest in the Ftat outside of Jack
sonville. He has benefited the public further
by establ'shicg a free reading room. There
the visitor is permitted to read any of the
newspapers or periodicals at any time without
charge His business, from being an insignifi
cant one. has assumed large proportions, and,
while it has resulted of course in his pecuniary
ben.efp, he has been a benefactor to the com
munity, and I would that tin-re were more Ju
lian Bettons in our State Mr. Betton not only
largely supplies Tallahassee with reading mat
ter. but the surrounding country as well.
The Tallahassee District Conference of the
M. E. Church South convenes here to-night,
and will be in se-sion the remainder of the
week. This body is composed mainly of lay
men. and is comparatively anew feature in
the economy of the church. Originally opposed
to lay rep-esentati.in. after once ineoip -rating
that element, this church has progressed It
has been found that the counsel of intelligent
lav men, especia ly in matters of finance, is
invaluable; and from the well known conserva
tism of this element.extremes in legislation are
avoided. Had lay representation existed fifty
years pgo, it is possible a division of this M. E.
Church would never have occurred, but it
would have constituted one grand whole as
the Protestant Episcopal Church. These dis
trict conferences, though,possess nei'her legis
lative, executive nor judii ial powers: the mem
bers can only confer and recommend. But as
these bodies elect lay delegates to the annnal
conferences, which combine the great co
ordinate powers of government, the influence
of a district conference is net insignificant in
the councils of 'his church.
The selection of some three hundred thou
sand acres of internal improvement lands west
of the Chattahoochee river for Fir Edward
Reed is now completed, and soon these lands
will be developed by energetic and enterprising
settlers It will be remembered that a portion
of the Disston purchase w as transferred by Mr.
Disston to Sir Edward Reed, and nearly all of
the lands so purchased by the latter lay in
Middle and West Florida. Colonel M. A. Wil
liams, the locating agent of the latter, has
about finished his labors, aud soon
the lands will be properly classified
and placed in the market. The ownersh pof
those lands by capitalists can be productive
only of good. If an individual invests his ail
in wild lands it is so much dead capital. But
if he has a surplus sufficient to develop them,
to bring them into market bv judicious adver
tising. offering inducements to settlers, and by
affording ready access to market through the
construction of railroads, his invest
ment is a paying one. As no man can
make a large plantation profitable with
out the capital to run it, so no owners of large
bodies of land can effect rapid and remunera
tive sales without a liberal outlay. From Bir
Edward’s known progressiveness and from tha
capital that he can command, the citizens or
Middle and West Florida have every reason to
rejoice that he has invested in their section.
Heretofore the tide of immigration has been to
South and East Florida, but now we confidently
expect a large share in the Middle and West.
