ross ties on the Rail Road, for one mile, are
of granite, quarried from it. We had a
glimpse of Decatur, nine miles beyond
this point. We saw enough to convince
us that Decatur is a pretty village, and
to inspire a wish fur a nearer view. About
a half mile beyond Stone Mountain De
pot is the highest point but two, on the
route between the Atlantic and the Tennes
see river. The elevation above the level of
the ocean is 1054 feet. The elevation of Ma
rietta, above the level of the ocean, is 1132
teet; above Augusta, 985 feet. The eleva
tion of Atlanta is 1060 feet. It has a climate
very similar to that of Marietta. Marietta
is, however, by far the largest place, and is
therefore the r most attractive as a residence.
The prospects of improvement for Atlanta
however, are flattering, owingto the junction
at that point, soon to take place, of the Macon
and Western, with the Georgia and State
Roads.
Marietta is blessed with one of the very
finest climates in the world. It is prettily
situated amidst hills, and in sight of the Ke
nisavv mountain, three miles distant. This
peak is about 800 feet high, from its base,
and 2000 above tide water, and the prospect
trom the summit, which is not difficult of as
cent, will well reward the toil of reaching it. i
The population of Marietta is about 1200,
scattered over wide corporate limits. The
buildings are plain and unassuming, espe
cially the Court House; but many are neat
and tasteful. Just beyond the town, our
popular and esteemed Ex-Governor, C. J.
McDonald, resides in an elegant mansion,
beautifully situated.
In reaching Marietta, you pass over two
bridges of remarkable height, and one of them
very long. The latter is the bridge over the
Chattahoochee, 600 yds. long—one of the
longest bridges in the United States. The
other is, the bridge over Vining’s Creek, which
is 120 feet high, said to be the highest in the
Union. They appear to be well and durably
built, and must have cost an immense deal of
labor. Both roads, through their entire length,
apparently, are constructed in tiie most ap
proved manner, and the cars glide over them
smoothly, and with an agreeable motion.
This result is greatly promoted, by the sys
tem carried out for many miles, of packing
the dirt firmly around the wooden superstruc
ture, so that little, except the iron rails,
are exposed to view. It has the additional
effect of preventing the ends of the rails at
their junction with each other from sinking,
which is usually one cause of unsteady mo
tion.
The trip we made was in a special train, by
day-liglit, from Augusta to Marietta, which
we accomplished in about 12 hours. We re
gretted that our engagements prevented a visit
farther into the mountains. We have, how
ever, explored in other portions of the State,
some of her rich treasures of picturesque
scenery, and can speak, by comparison with
our travels amidst the mountain regions of
other States, of the many wonders which our
own Georgia offers to the enamoured wor
shipper of wild, romantic, sublime nature.
Being ourself an admirer both of wild scenery
and Wilde poetry, we cannot close more ap
propriately, than in language prompted by a
Poet’s wanderings, amidst the hills of Vir
ginia.
For I have climb’d thy mountains, not alone—
And made the wonders of thy valiies mine,
Finding from morning dawn ’till days decline
Some marvel yet unmarked—some peak whose
throne
Was loftier, girt with mist and crown’d with pine.
Some diepand rugged glen w ith copse o’ergrown.
The birth of some sweet valley, or the line
Traced by some silver stream that murmured lone;
Or the dark cave where hidden crystals shine.
Or the wild arch across the blue sky thrown,*
Or else th*.<e traits of nature more divine.
That in some favored child of thine had shown.

valuable brick buildings. Most of the mer

New Hampshire.—The Boston Post admits
that by the union of the Whig and Indepen

A FACT WORTH KNOWING.
A GENTLEMAN of a scrofulous
habit, became afflicted with Ulcerations
of the Throat and Nose, and a disagreeable and
troublesome disease of the skin. Indeed his
whole system bore the marks of being saturated
with disease. One hand and wrist were so much
affected that he had lost the use of the hand,
every part being covered with deep, painful and
offensive Ulcers, and his hand and wrist were as
hollow and poious as a honeycomb. It was at
this stage of his complaint, when death appear
ed inevitable from a loathsome disease, that he
commenced the use of Jayne’s Alterative, and
having taken sixteen bottles, is now perfectly
cured.— Phila. Ledger.
Tins Alterative operates through the circula
tion and purifies 'he olood and eradicates dis
eases from the system, whe re v«r located; and the
numerous cures it has performed in diseases of
the Skin, Cancer, Scrofula, Goitre, Liver Com
plaint, Dyspepsia, and other Chronic diseases,
is truly astonishing. An additional supply re
