Tallulah Falls, Aug. 21, 1878. Kililare Xetrn: It would take the pen of poesy, guided by that divine inspiration which planned the uni- verst* and stamped it with Us beauty, to tell of the grandeur of Ttilliilah.— Since our arrival \vv have been iu a state of perpetual admiration, nml new scones constantly bursting upon our enchanted vision, till us with an inexpressible delight. Just hack of our hotel is a deep defile; creeping to its edge ami looking fur down tin: dizzy height, we saw a shallow, clear, streamlet rushing over its roekv bed whirling itself into numberless eddies ami rapids. Winding down its nnr- row channel, walled in by perpendic ular cliffsof solid rock that lift tlieir shaggy fronts high tip into the quiv ering blue, the rushitig water dashes and leaps over the steep declivities lashing itself into frothy foam, and falling in sparkling spray whose ntilk white, feathery vapor, rises heaven ward, like iiteensc to the Omnipotent Being, who gave it birth and beauty, riierc are three distinct falls, but tny pen utterly fails to give a description of their beauty ^and grandeur. For* half a mile the river flows through this narrow gorge, formed by vast liffs of solid rock, along whose weather-stained sides clinging vines and modest flowers creep out from very crack and crevice, and hang fur above (lit* yawning chasm be neath, while now and then a stunted tree hangs swaying and tottering a« if ready to topple over into the deep abyss. Down the sides of this gorge which lies nearest the hotel, steep, winding, narrow paths, lead to the several falls and other points of inter est. Creeping down these shelving footways, the adventurous often reaches the point where but a fen incites of rock serves him as a foot hold, and if he chanrestomake a mis step, down he will be hurled upon the huge boulders aud bristling trees beneath. Picking his way down these rugged ways, he may stand by the side of the falling waters as they leap amt plunge over the eragy rocks ; feel their soft spray dashing against hi-'- face, and their mighty roar deafen ing him. Cooking aloft to the per pendicular cliffs upon whose far away tops, tall trees look dal aud stunted ; the inexpressible grandeur of the scene comes over oiie with awe aud olemnity ; and amid the wild beaut; and power of nature one feels utter); alone. Farther down the river, tl.c gorge widens, as if the convulsion of nature which formed it had been more powerful here than elsewhere. On cry side the solid cliffs rise, at some places presenting a smooth shed surface of rock upon which not even a flower can find a resting place—at others rugged with projerting bould rs whose huge outlines stand out boldly against the sky. One of these projections hears the name of the Devil’s Pulpit”—a narrow and broken rock jutting far out from the soliil wall over the awful chasm bc- icatli. .Standing upon tins point Ihc ye can trace the winding river as it rushes through the rocky channel, aud dashes over the precipitous rocks, ami traces its wanderings through the trees that, from the dizzy height, seem all mingled into one mass of foliage. Willi hut a thin strip ofstoio- holding him to the solid earth, one lauds upon this ledge aud gazes down into the fearful gulf below, where the bilge rocks lie piled iu pow rfnl disorder, while the swaying ices anil rushing waters confuse the tyc and makes the heart grow faint ami the brain dizzv. Blit the half of all this wonderfully grand sight can not lie told. Adjectives lose theit- meaning when we try to make them ivean adequate idea of its beauty and sublimity. It is a sight worth many hours’ toil, and one that will never he forgotton after having been once seen. Ix.-aving Tallulah, a few hours' ride, over a rough hut pictiiesque moun tain road placed us at Toccon. AI ■arly dawn we were sitting beneath the gentle Falls of Toccon. These are the opposite of Tallulah Falls.— The former convey the idea of gentle ness anil beauty, the latter of power and sublimity. Toeeoa Falls is a nar row streamlet that runs over a sheet precipice one hundred ami eighty feet in height, aud falling softly, i- almosi gentle spray before reaching the bottom. It is very beautiful and and well W'ortli a visit. Taking Hie early train front Toeeoa. we were soon flVitig along the Air Dine route, through its many beauti ful scenes; the cool, fresh air scmliiij its’health-giving influence throng our veins, and a theme of pleasure t our heart. That rapid, delightful ride was a tilting close to a week whose many iileasant episodes shall linger even down to old age; when thought changes to memory mid hope to retrospect ion. The closing lines of this letter an written from the Kimball house, whose many comforts are most enjoy able after a week’s experience in rough mountain travel. It is bciu renovated throughout, and the Wail street front hitheto unfinished, is be ing put iu perfect order, and will, when finished, give 00 additional (Inc rooms, to this already large hotel. In conclusion, we would recommend the invalid mid pleasure seeker to try tin resorts of the Air l.ine road, feelinj sure that lie will reliirn more Ilian satisfied. |„ W.

Be assured, gentlemen, this signal renewal of the expression of continu ed confidence on the part of my con stituents, through so able and repre sentative a body, is, under the cir cumstances, peculiarly gratifying to nte. The high honor and trust thus conferred I accept, with a full sense of the heavy responsibility resting; upon me iu so doing. If your action he ratified by Un people at the polls, 1 shall again lie returned to Congress, the only pledge I can give is that it will he my earn est effort, in the future, as iu the past, o to maintain the rights aud inter ests of all committed to my charge, upon those immutable principles m justice on which our entire system ot free institutions rests, as tliai in. one. iu whatever condition of life, can justly say, at the expiration of the term that he or she sufl'ered any inju ry or wrong from any act ol'roiiiniis- sion or omission on my part, in the discharge of the puldi.-duties devolv ed upon me. For the very kind language and sentiments toward me personally.Im pressed in your letter, gentlriiieu. please accept tny sincere thanks. With kindest regards for you indi vidually and earnest wishes for tin- prosperity and happiness of our i-otu- mon country, I remain yours truly, Alexander If. Stephens. Tlie Scotch People. No armed legions are required to keep them (oral. There are probably not 2,000 soldiers this day in all Scot land, and they are there merely for recruiting and keeping a few of tin- fortresses in order. The population to-day is barely up to four million-, anil will probably never he greater for the young men and women in tin- lower walks of life emigrate to Hu- colonics, where many rise to distinc tion and accumulate fortunes. Ben gal is said to belong to the Scotch, on account of the many offices occupied by them. They are a hard working people, remarkable for their skill in farming anil gardening; Imt they have a mortal aversion to sweeping streets or digging mud ; and vet they will work eighteen hours out of the twenty-four on their own farms in the .summer and autumn. There t- probahly not a single Si-otchmun Ibis day employed as a street sweeper in any of,our larger cities. Those who are too proud to work enlist its sol diers rather than to dig or beg. The relation between the nobles and the |>eoplc is very friendly, especially in tin: Highlands, where the poorest, who hear the name of landlords, i-laini kin ship with them aud have the kiiishi| allowed.

Get-man emigrants are pouring Into New York in immense iiiitnlmrs. The arrivals this month are largely in ex cess of any previous period for many years. It is stated that many of them bring money to give Ihetti a good start on the new Iniid of the West. Washington Post. Are there tiny good reasons why a portion at least of this steady flow of immigrants should not. he induced lo come .South? If some of our leading men would lend themselves to this work, instead of charging around limiting office, they would he doing the country belter service. Georgia of all the Southern States probably has the most substantial attractions for immigrants, mill votthrough crim inal negligence :md lethargy, this con stant source of wealth and ilevelop- mciit is allowed lo flow hv us,-as it were, in an unbroken stream, without an effort being made to stay it. It is true some abortive and spasmodic ef forts have been made; hilt the results, owing l<> lack ol co-operation on the part of hind owners, have been very barren. We regard this question, es pecially here iu Southern Georgia where thousands aud thousands of acres are lying idle, as being one of the most vital importance. Cannot something l.e done, some plan pro posed and adopted in this section of Georgia whereby immigrants from the old world, as well as from any section of the North anil West, may he correctly informed in reference lo the superior advantages possessed l.v Southei-ii Georgia ? A few men are not equal to the task ; it will require tin* co-operation of the great body of land owners. Can this co-opera tion l.e secured ? If the press would take up the subject and keep it before the people it might result in crystal- izing some plan or M-hemc by which the ends desired might, be attained. Let. ns not lose sight of the develop ment, progress anil prosperity of our section in the mad scramble for office. Thnmusrille Times. Ten years ago Major E. A.

A Great I)av at Chautauqua, Thursday, August 15th, will be en tered upon the calendar of great days at Chautauqua. A light rain in the morning pill the grounds in the flnest filer. A great crowd of people was in attendance. The reception given to Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, was an ovation worthy of the prince of a man that he is; aud the lecture of Mr. Joseph Cook will take rank with tin- very best In- has ever delivered at this place. All the people upon tln- groiinils, old and young, middle aged and children, .seemed lo find that everything about them was inspiring and enjoyable. Yesterday wt-s one of those days which will hesoinewhat isolated front ils predecessors and from llmse that are In follow, by Hie deep ami agree able impressions it has made upon the minds of thousands of people.— Gov.

Tin- first fall of man—dowu stairs, Iiuleiieiidentisiii the Hope of tlie RadlealM. HAvaonmh N«wa.| As our readers are well aware, we have from tlie first opposed indepen dent movements on tlie main grounds that (1) they tend to ilisintergale the Democratic parly at this crisis when its integrity is so necessary, and (2) that the inile|H*ndent candidate if suc cessful cannot he relied on to v..t<- strictly witli Hie Democratic party, even though he rails himself a Demo crat, inasmuch as lie must ileeessaril; be under obligations to Radical vote, for his election. The truth of these two propositions is so clearly manifest that it cannot l.e denied. Indeed they are simple axioms. It is well to notice, hotvev- er, how entirely the desperate and dy ing Radical parly in tlie conntry relies on Ihe success of iude- peudentism, especially- in the South, for its future existence. A special dispatch from Washing ton, to an iiltra-Radiral paper, inidcr date of Thursday last, states that the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee is daily receiving advices from the South, iu which it is made to appear that rivalries and Demo cratic Congressional aspirants are so bitter that, a number of Independent candidates will take tlie lield as a re sult of these contentions. Says tl.e dispatch : “Writers of these lettersas- sttre the eominittee that there is a strong probability that a considera ble number of Independents with lie- publican proclivities may be elected, and inasmuch as the next House of Representatives may lie very close, the committee is earnestly requested to use its influence to secure tlie elec tion of these Independents. Advice from Georgia are that the number of candidates in tlie difl’erent districts ranges from leu to twenty. The South is by no menus so solid ns it appears, and Northern Democrats who fancy that their majority is assured may find themselves deceived.” Now; be it particularly borne in mind that the above sentiments ema nate dil-eetly from tlie headquarter of the Radical Congressional Com mittee. There is no mistaking their drift. They no longer leave a doubt that to the success of tin* Indepen dents in the South, and particularly in Georgia, the Radical party—that organization whose very life depend on Southern ruin and oppression—re lies. Herein is made full confession of the fact; aud not Old* that, hut il is also openly confessed that the In dependent niovemtfflt in out- midst is the only hope of Radicalism. We feel assured that no more potent argument to Georgians to adhere «lo termiuedly to the Democratic part; in the coming elections could lie |.re- Rented. The next House may lieoallcd upon to elect a President, and even if this lie not so, it certainly will have a voice in counting the electoral vole. The Democracy has already hern swhulled out of their legally elected :hicf magistrate—a swindle success fully consummated only because one House of Congress (tlie Senate) ;; as Radical. The great importance of tinlh Houses of tlie Forty-sixth Congress being Democratic is therefore most manifest. The Senate is already as suredly so, and let the people of Geor gia anil the South everywhere deter mine that the House shall, at least mi far as they arc concerned, he so like wise. The only possible way l.y which this can lie made positively se cure is by voting only for the regu lar nominees of the party, and ignor ing all others. The necessity of De mocratic success at this time is too great to be endangered by yielding to personal prejudices or fostering personal ambitions. Wonderful Phenomena. Nothing strikes a stranger more forcibly, if he visits Sweden at this season of the year when the days are longest than the absence of night.— Dr. Baird relates some interesting facts. lie arrived at Stockholm from Gottenbui-g, four hundred miles <le - tniit, in the morning,and iu the after noon went to see some friends. He returned about midnight, when it wa ns light as it is in England half an hour before sunset. You could see distinctly, but. all was quiet iu Hn- strccts; it seemed ns if the inhabitant- had all gone away or were dead. - The sun in June goes down in Stock holm a little before ten o’clock. There is a great, illumination all night, as the sun passes around the earth In ward tlie uorth pole , and the refrac tion of its rays is such that you can sec to read at midnight without any artificial light. The first morning Dr. Baird awoke iu Stockholm In- was surprised to see tlie sun shinning in his room. He looked at his watch and found it was only three o’clock. The next time lie awoke it was rive o’clock, but there were persons in tin- street. There is a mmiiitaiu at the head of Uothauiu, where on the 21:4 of June the sun does not appear logo down ut all. The steamboat goes up from Stockholm for the purpose of conveying those who are curious to witness the phenomenon. It occurs only one night. The sun reaches the horizon, you can see the whole facet' it, and in five minutes more it begins to rise. At the North Cape, latitude seventy-two degrees, the sun docs not go down for several weeks. Iii.lttue it would be about twenty-live de grees above the horizon at midnight. In the winter time the sun disappears and is not seen for weeks; tln-ii it omesund remains for ten. fifteen or t wenty minutes, after which it d seeinls, and finally docs not set at all. hut makes a circle around the heav ens. BirtlH and animals take lln-ir a custouied rest at Ihe usual hour, whether tlie sun goes down or not Exchange.

It was with a man namad Blood, who was determined to make tu fight whether wc wanted to or not. When we got on the ground, our second said to us: “Do you want to kill your man?” “Ofcourse not,” we replied. “Because if you do,” urged our second, “aim at that tree three hundred yards to the right of Blood. I have seen you shoot; I know vour at vie.” fBul wc dont want to kill him, we said. “Oil, ull right, Jthen,” exclaimed the second, “atm right at his heart. You are deadly with a pistol when you want, to be. I and Blood's second are going down to the bottom of the hill to be out of the may. Both of you fel lers scatter too much for ns. ' Call us when you are through.” Then Blood and his enemy began. It was Bcvcn in the morning, and the battle raged till noon. - Seven-hun dred and thirty-four shots were- f red, and tlie knllets hit all the barns lhllie neighborhood, kilted stray pigs,'per forated several cows in (he surround ing lield, lamed a plowman in thf left leg, barked the trees in the woods to the right of us, brought down a mule in tlie topath close oy, riddled the fences uutil there was hardly a whole hoard on 'them and flattened them selves against the rocks, but nejthcr Blood nor we had a scratch, except ing a slight wound Blood got by shooting himself in the calf with h.< two hundred and forty-fourth ballet. Then we began to get hungry, | and asked Blood if he didn’t consider his duel almost too monotonous.' lie said he did, and proposed Uutt wc should both stop shooting and go aud jump off the precipice together. We urged that precipices always made us dizzy, but. promised to see him burieii 'comfortably if he wanted to take the exercise alone. Then; (lie* ecottds came up, and didn’t seem a bit surprised to find us unhurt. Then they proposed we should settle tlie matter with a game of poker, to as certain whether we were wrong or Blood, Blood held four: Jacks' and won. So we apologized and went home. The next day Blood called to say lie was sorry of the affair, and to ask us'to lend him seventy-five dollars, which we did, and have neverlsecn him since. And now we regret itliat we didn’t aim at that tree, three hun dred yards to the right of Blood and kill him. . - .. SAl * ..IM" ..

The man swaggered into a tidy lunch house over the Rhine, flopped into a chair, slapped his feet upon tlie table, shoved his hat on the back of his head and called for beer, bread, anil Limberger. The proprietor hus- tled around and tilled the order him telf. Tlie man picked up a bit of tlie -lieese on a fork, and smelled of it de risively.

Utilizing Old Cans. Old cans arc useful in various ways; for instance take off the top of the’can, punch holes on the opposite sides near the ritn, put in wire bail and you have a little bucket which may serve for a paint-pot, to kec|i nails in, or for numerous other uses Take ofl’ tlie top, cut the proper shape, and fasten on a handle by means of a screw through the bottom, and a use ful scoop may be made. A saucepan tor small messes may be tnadebycn'- ting down a can, leaving a strip to be bent at right angles. If atrip for the handle be left wide enough to bend (round a stick, it will be much strong er. A coarse grater for crackers, dry bread, horse-radish and the like may lie made with a piece of the tin tacked on a bit of board. The holes in the grater are best made with a triangu lar punch, which may be filed upflrom a nail, or made of an old three-cor nered tile. But Mr. Buggins says tlie most striking use of an old can is ty iug it to a dog's tail. It isapttostrik his legs. “ I >o yon know what bulldozing is ?' asked a man of an old farmer. “I thought 1 did,” said tlie granger, “but the hull wasn’t dozing; he was only making believe, and, being in the middle of a forty acre lot, I natural); hail to make pretty quick time tii reach the fence ahead of him.” Arriro st Jewp BivWc Arriro at I— Arriro rt Ditjont Lasts Du,-ini Lastc Blscktbssr Lssrt Jtsup Lcsn McIntosh Arriro st asrssssh - WEsTKRN DIVISION.
