AVar on the Dogs.
Cochran ( Ga .) Cor. I]airkiwtville .Vet.-#.
In a measure, l am constrained to take
up a little for the canines (not town
dogs) this time. Avery bad state Of
feeling exists among the people ou this
side of Gum Swamp for a distance of
eight miles up and down the creek and
four miles out west of it.
Sheep men on the other side, as far as
12 miles down into Dodge county, have
driven numbers of sheep across the
swamp, where none of them own a foot of
land and of course are trespassers. Two
or three weeks ago some stray dogs got
to killing the sheep and the citizens ou
this side promptly turned out and soon
j killed the last one of tho dogs.
I Not satisfied, the sheep owners sent
emissaries with gun and poison,
offering a royalty of $2 50 for every
dog and $5 for every old sow that they
might kill. Finding no dogs in the woods
they instituted a regular uigbtly raid on
men’s premises anil the next morning
every dog on the places they visited were
found dead in the yards. Four-tilths of
all the dogs in the entire settlement have
been slain and a good many hogs. Natu-
I rally enraged at tne wholesale slaughter
of these dogs, some of them valuable and
constantly under the eye of their
owners or confined at home. The
owners now vow vengeance, and in
retaliation, are organizing to openly shoot
every sheep they find on their premises
that does not belong there. Nightly watch
is kept over the few dogs that are left,
and a fellow would fare badly to be caught
prowling around a mau’s "kennel. The
people say that if they cannot keep dogs
at their own houses other people’s sheep
shall not eat their grass. There are some
suspects, and it is probable that soon
there will be "razors flying in the air.”
Original of "Home, SSweet Home.”
From tho Rome ( &'<t. ) Bulletin.
It is perhaps unknown to most of our
readers that there is a legend which con
nects North Georgia with this popular air.
Many years ago, when the Indians were
being gathered and sent off to their reser
vation, Payne was in the neighborhood of
the place where Dalton now stands.
I Many of the Indians were so reluctant
to leave their hunting grounds
that they evaded the officers
whose duty it was to collect them. As the
story goes, there was a law which made
it a penal offense to aid an Indian in evad
ing the officers. Payne’s sympathy for
the noble red man was so strong that he
gave them aid and countenance in elud
ing the grasp of the collectors, and a
warrant was sued out and served upon
him by the Sheriff. As be started off'
with the officer, Paine, doubtless
thinking of the homeless Indian,
began to sing the first stanza of
"Home Sweet Home.” The Sheriff
stopped and asked where that song came
from. When Payne said that it was his
own composition the officer begged him to
sing some more like it: and as he listened
to the pathetic air and eloquent words of
the song, he was so moved that he released
his noble prisoner, who not long alter
gave to the public a song which has
stirred the emotion of millions.
The Sberilf wiio made the arrest was
Gen. Bishop. the father-in-law of the
venerable Judge Underwood ot this place.
The pursuit and arrest was made at the
home of Ross, the chief, near Blue Spring,
in Tennessee, four miles from the old
council grounds. He was imprisoned at
the old Moravian missionary station, now
Spring Place, twelve miles east of Dalton.
Gordon’s Kindness.
From the Cuihhert {Ga.l Appeal.
An incident proving the devotion of
Gen. Gordon to his soldiers was related to
us a few days ago by a young friend who
lives on the line of Randolph and Stewart
counties, near County Line church. In
his neighborhood lives Mr. Robert Ware,
who was immediately under Gen. (Jor
don during the war. Just after one of the
hardest fought battles of the war, in
which the troops ol both sides were
mowed down like the ripe
wheat before the scyihe, Mr.
Waie was commanded to go
on picket duty, ft was a bitter cold night.
The snow was on the ground many inches
deep. Mr. Ware bad come out of the bat
tle just fought without receiving any
wound#, but with the loss of nearly all
his clothing. To have stood at his post of
duty during the night would have been
suredeatn. As Gen. Gordon rode down
the line that night he discovered the situ
ation of Mr. Ware, only a poor soldier as
he was, and his heart went out in sympa
thy to him. Removing his own
coat, bat and shoes be turned
them over to the trembling
! guard and finished his ride in that con
dition. Mr. Ware survived the conflict,
! returned home and settled down ou his
! farm, but he never forgot this simple aet.
I of kindness, and his first hoy born after
the war was christened “Gordon Ware ”
It cannot be disputed that Gen. Gordon
has a heart for his people, capableof sym
pathizing with them in their needs, both
in the war and since, and bis past life has
demonstrated this fact to the perfect sat
isfaction of all unbiased minds.
Museum oT Curiosities.
From the B trneoville (tin.) Gazette.
Judge J. C. Williams, Ordinary of Up
son county, has quite a collection of
curiosities in his office. He has a war
relic of great interest, because of its an
tiquity. We regret that, its authentic
history can be traced only hack to tbe
Revolutionary war. It is a sword, made
ol first-class steel. On the blade is carved
the sun. moon and 24 star*, two of them
large ones. If the figure representing ihe
moon was in crescent shape we might
suppose it to have coine Irnm the Orien
tals All that is known d“finite|v of its
career is that it was used in the Revolu
tionary war by the grandfather of Mr. J.
F. itiv ere.
Judge Williams has also some very in
teresting Indian relics. A few days since
Mr. T. I’. Holloway was bunting and dis
covered on the side of a guby some,little
pots, which, on examination, he found to
be resting in an Indian grave. Near them
were also some skuil bom-* and lei th.
On further investigation other graves
were found, and the spot is supposed to
be an Indian burial ground. More lhan
50 years since the lores' trees were cut
down, and the earth bus been tilled from
year to year. Only tbe washing ruins
have so cut down Into Ihe earth and in
vaded the sanctity of tlx* Indian bones,
that have slept for centuries perhaps.
Judge Williams has also an Interesting
representation of a borned frog, which
most have lived onlv in the past, and sev
eral Indian flints which are familiar.
Tho Beer War.
From the Home {Gt }.) Courier.
In this city there Is now waging & fear
ful beer war. A quarter keg of beer,con
taining eight gallons, the regular price ot
which is $2 50, is now being sold at 50c.
per keg. A few days ago this price was
only to those who dealt In liquois, but
now any Individual can get it at t ne same
price. Tbe result bits been the sale of tbe
beer in great quantities, and in tnauv
places tbe loamy stuff is tapped where it
never was before. To give some idea of
tbe extent ol this sale, a dealer told
us that h" had sold about 75 or 80 kegs per
day for the last d*v or two. The revenue
on a keg is 25c., watch leaves only 25c. to
the brewery, for freight and the wholt
saler. This war is being carried on oy
two groat breweries, and is confined to
Koine. Formerly nothing but the Weber
beer sold here, but the Kauffman under
took to get a footing, and cuts followed,
which finally came down to the present
uric#.
SLAVES AMONG TIIK SI.MINDIA S
Indians in the Florida Everglade#
Who Hold Negroes in Doudage.
In certaiu of the more southern parts of
Florida negroes are held in as strict bond
age as ever they were before the groat war
in any part of the country, says a Tampa
correspondent of the St. Louis
Globedlemooral. Slavery survives, how
eVetS only among the few remnants of the
' Bq)i)jnt)Jp tribe who still have their homos
in (be woods and everglades south and
east of the Caloosahatchle river. There
are many families of the red meu
who, though perfectly inoffensive so far
as the whites aro concerned, maintain
a dignified independence of the
gone rut laws and administer their
own affairs in a wav strongly romimiscent
ofdMftfiarchal traditions. They live prin
cipally by the chase and upon thi* tiwh of
which all Florida waters, lakes, streams,
aiitl seas, are extremely prolific-;,and for
vegetable food they depend ilium small
pdtehes of ground cleared here and there,
as fancy may dictate, from year to year.
The Cultivation of these patches among
the, poorer members or the tribe Is carried
on by their women, but the more prosper
ous of the Indians have their negro slavcß.
upon whom they devolve all the nard la
bor of cultivation, as well as the few
iteuisof menial drudgery incident to their
simple methods of living.
It is curious to observe the degree of
pride these Seminoles lake in the fact
that they are slave-holders. They are per
fectly aware that the white people of the
country are forbidden to hold slaves; that
every negro throughout the South who
once had to pay obedience to a bomlmas
ter bas been freed; but they don’t seem to
understand that either emancipation pro
clamations and enactments or constitu
tional amendments have any application
to them and their "niggers.” lienee they
regard themselves as a race of beings
more highly privileged than the whites—
aristocrats who alone are recognized as
having rights of property iu au infe
rior race. Nor is there apparent
among them the fainlost suspicion
that their assured rights can be ques
tioned by the law. Slave-owning and
slave-trading among themselves is con
ducted as openly and with as much con
fidence as ever it was in South Carolina
or Alabama thirty or forty years ago, aud
even when they visit the towns to ex
change their peltries for powder, clothing,
crockery, and other necessaries they occa
sionally take with them their black bonds
men, partly to perform any laborious
duty that may happen to become neces
sary, but partly, also, to enhance
their appearance of dignity and im
portance. Only a few weeks ago
one of this class, a full-blooded Indian,
claiming the rank of a Seminole chief,
came to Tampa to buy stores, bringing
with him a young negress whom he
pointed to with pride as his own property,
remarking at the time: "Me big chief,
heap bigger than white man, wuite man
no slave, only Seminole have slave.”
Several people of Tampa, both white and
colored, tried to Interest tbemselves on
behalf of the black girl, hoping to induce
her to assert her right to freedom and to
remain in the city, where a borne would
have been provided for her; but she
knew no language but Seminole, and
all efforts to make her understand were
fruitless. She took fright, too, at the well
meaning efforts, and breaking from those
who would have persuaded her, fled to her
master, and, taking hold of his skirts,
could not be induced to detach her hold
all the lime he remained in Tampa. It is
but fair to add that since that singular
event news has been received that the
chief has promoted the poor girl from the
position of slave to wife, an honor which
she, of course, has to share with two or
three others.
