Atlanta Oa<*lt*.} I respectfully submit llmt the South protests too much. Naturally impiiMrc. given to ora tory, ambitious of print, and sm-u-l- ing under unjust iniuits from people, whose better feeling, ami whose in terests, certainly, should incline lliciii towards moderation and justice, we naturally rush into the papers or as semble iu tin- forum to “vindicate” ourselves. But at last and alas, we discover we have no umlienre. Our aonovous cloqueucu falls upon in credulous cars, ami our well turned periods In-come aniimiuiliou for Ho- enemy. It is all “sound ami furv. signifying nothing." To illustrate: The recent letter of Mr. Hill—Into every word of it was altogether admi rable and able, hill—mi />••«<■.

I chanced to lie in Nett >rk when a paper—the Evening Mail—published a loiter from Atlan- a. stating and proving three tilings; •’ir-l. that Atlanta was not burned lining the war: second, that Hie few hoti-es that were burned were tired by the citizen- themselves: third. Hint partial and unimportant eonlla- ratior was a great benefit to the place! Now knowing all these sta'e- meiits to lie false. I determined to have the matter eorrcetcil. and had written a page, when a sensible New York friend stopped me. "Why. 1 ' said he. “these folks won’t believe a word on say." and to this day I have roa- on to think that a large proportion of the good pie of the North coll ider Hicrinan's march to the sea :i I - thcr beneficial and kindly, and that lie endeavored to protect Atlau- a and Columbia from fire.

W'-ll. in my judgment, we may all sav men <•«//»». Wc have, uiifiirtu- natcly. not far to go to find illustra tions of our peculiar proclivities.— Look at our late Legislature, the uicinhers of which were gentlemen ill.

The great men of the world have been silent men. Tie- beneficent forces of nature are silent forces. IVe learn from the Good Book itself that (lie power of the Deity re- ides not alone in the whirlwind or the earthquake, but in the still small voice. No, my countrymen of l!ie .South, our section need.- not declamation or defence, hut quiet, sturdy work: it calls upon ns to “Take up the shovel and the hoe.’’ Broad acres of Bermuda grass, mot tled over with sleek Jersey cattle ami fat Cotswold sheep; small farms, deep plowed and rich with native fer tilizers; cotton mills clattering upon -nr mountain streams; froe schools ■id churches in our hamlets anil vil lage- ; an increasing and prosperou- popillaliou, nut of debt and happy : ottoii, tobacco, rice and naval store- crowding our busy wharve-. will, surplus productions, sufficient to pay our share of the public debt and n - turn us a rich freightage of gold :— then -hall Conkling anil Blaine bela bor us to their hearts’ content—their resounding whacks tailing upon tln- listless cars of a busy, happy and liiiet people.

The Atlanta Constitution has tlmi-- oughly written up llie Clement al- laclmienl. Some accuse Hu- paper <>f advertising it for money, in reply, the following is said: “A few—a very few—of our Georgia exchanges and some of their correspondents arc insinuating that the articles in Tin- Coiist'liilion arc in the nature of ad vertisements. To say Hull they are mistaken is to give tlii-m tin- In-iii-til of a good deal of politeness.

Tlie Columbus Times tells of ratlu-r a strange incident that occurred on the plantation of Mr. <>. C. (local, who lives near Camilla depot on the Columbus and Bonn: railroad.— While one of his bands was pieking cotton a few days ago, a strange bird almost white, with a red head, drop ped ilotvii seemingly from the clouds into the basket into n'hich the negro was emptying cotton from liis wallet. Tlie bird was perfectly tame and made no effort to get away. Tlie no- groe called Mr. Oncai’s attention to it and he picked up the bird and car ried it home with him. l or several days the idl'd ran around the house and seemed to be delighted with the children. As Oncal started out to the field one day, last week the bird jumped lip on his shoulder and lie carried it out xvitli him. hut while on his way the bird jumped down on the ground, ran along in front of him for a short distance, and then sudden ly flew up, anil continued to go up ami up, in a short circle until it was out of sight. He lias heard nothing of it since. This bird was seen by some of the most responsible citizens iu that neighborhood Who will testi fy to tlie above facts. The Latest from Toombs.

AtLiiU < ll appears Hint a few niglils ago a deputy marshal, of Marshal Fit's ni- on’s force, with seven assistant depu ties and eight guards, organized for n raid into Towns county. One of the objects of llie raid was to capture a mini In Hu- name of Berrouy, who uas reported to lie a “moonshiner" and tin- leader of u baud ol men or ganized for tin- purpose of defying tile revenue officers and protecting tlie hidden still of the mountain branches. The raiding parly moved along quietly, and by nightfall was in the neighborhood of Ih-rroiiy’s house. They wailed until the family bad gone to sleep and then sin rounded the house and closed in oil llie unsus pecting family. Berrouy, though sur prised while asleep, sprung from lu lled and lied, clad only iu his uiglil clothes. Despite Ibis light weight, he was overtaken by tin- deputies and overpowered and lied. In tliemeau- Iimi- bis family bad awakened and came to the door iu more or less con fusion, and making a good ileal of i'tiss. While the deputies were en gaged with the prisoner and the peo ple at the dour, a daughter of flie prisoner, about eighteen years of age, slipped out of the hack door, dn r sscd only in llie garment iu which she had been sleeping, anil made for the mountain side with Hie fleet ness of a young antelope. She earrieii in her right hand a fox-liorn, anil lied through the night like an apparition. A deputy put out in pursuit of the fleeing maiden, but bis bools and clothes eiii'iuuliered him, and slie Irippitig over llie sleeping flowers with hare feel soon reached the top of the bill. Once there she turned, mid like a new Roderick Dim, she gave one blast upon her bugle born. It was “well uigii worth a thousand men,” for as the echoes of the born ■lied away in tlie valleys of the night, armed men gathered silently hut swiftly to the call of the lightly-clad lull stout-hearted bugler. As rapidly as possible the deputy had ids prisoner, and forming his men into close order, moved off to wards bis wagons, lie and his men were followed by the family of the prisoner, which xvas constantly rein forced by Ihearrival of mountaineer*, aroused.and ang-y. By the time llie deputies had gone a mile the threat ening force behind bad grown to twenty or twenty-live men, and things looked squally. When they had reached a long, narrow defile, the deputy iu charge found that there was a large force of men in front of him, and that each side of the ilefilc was held by -harp-shooting moun taineer-, tt-iio were hidden iu the woods. The force in his rear was pressed closer on him. anil lie called a ball and began to look into tilings. He found iiis situation desperate. He could turn no way without en countering an armed squad, and he felt that a tight in flic dark could promise nothing hut bloodshed and death. He therefore began to parley. The mountaineers demanded tlio re lease of Berrouy, who is said to have been their lender. The deputy at first protested and refused, Imt lie soon found that there were fifty men opposed to him witli tlie advantage of position. Tlie men agreed that certain discovered .-tills should be given up, 1ml they would not listen to Borrnity being taken away. At length the deputy surrendered him, and lie joined bis friends in the woods. The deputies had two other prisoners ami attempted to gel iiway witli them. As they were marching along through the dark, some one whispered to one of tiic deputies: -L’linie this way." He supposed tiiat it was one of his fellow deputies and moved iu the direction indicated. Suddenly he was knocked down ami bundled up and pitched iu a fence corner. The deputies discovering his capture, hailed again and held a little council of war. They were afraid t;; lire on the “moonshiners,” because they supposed the missing deputy was in llieir power. AiiiiHic“mooii- shiners" were afraid to tire on them for fear of hitting the prisoners. The two squads confronted each other quietly in the dark woods for awhile, when the deputies silently but in nl order withdrew and hurrlod out of Towns county. They carried off llieir two prisoners, but left Her ron v behind. Mr. Itobin-on, the deputy marshal who was in charge of the raiding party, has readied the e|tv and gives a full account of the affair. He says that it is impossible to overestimate the defiance with which the moun taineers met the officers. He says that Berrouy is a frenchman of brav ery and ability and shrewdness, and that he has a determined following that fully understand the situation.— lie says "that when they arrested Ber- rnny lie said ; “I have two stills and there they are. I’ve been running them for ten years and I defy you to take them. When his friends begun to gather iu the woods and darkness lie would call out to them. “There’s only twelve of llient hero, lint they’ve armed io the leelli. Don’t attack them till the rest of the hoys come!” Bobinson turned and said to him : “The lir.«l shot they lire on us I'll kill you?" lie replied: "Kill and be d —d. If you hurt me there won’t a man of you get out of these hills alive." tic then went on and said: “If von (lout burl me they won’t hurt you ?" When an attack seemed im minent one of the deputies said to Berrouy. “Throw up your hat mid tell them not to shoot.” Berrouy laughed and said : “If I threw up my hat tlicyd shoot sure.” lie talked with lits ambushed friends with the utmost freedom and nonchalance, mid seemed to lie jolly over the crowd of them that was gallicring.— After lie had been released, he In rued to Shepherd, one of the deputy col lectors .and said : “Shepherd, I want to warn you now that if yon nver eonio over llie mountain* again you are a dead man.” Mr. UotoiiHon says that the organization seemed perfect, and that the niouulaincers sank out of view like shadows at a sign from llieir lender, or came to the front at Ids call. It will probably get to lie hit -resting before these men are disabled, if. indeed, tliev are disabled at all.

The Constitution gave tlie following notices of hi* return to Georgia : “We hail tlie pleasure of a call on yesterday from Mr. A. G. I\ Dodge, tlie only son of lion. W. E. Dodge of New York. Mr. Dodge lias been spending the summer iu the Adiron dack* and eastern resorts, anil lias now returned to hi* home in Eastman where ho will prosecute his btisinct Mr. Dodge lias been for years a resident of Georgia, and it is" doubt ful if there is any man who can be named who lias d'nnc so much ns lie for the development of the timber re gions of tliis State. He has made large investments, lias conducted im portant enterprises, and built up the town cf Eastman, and lias always been liberal energetic and sagacious. Mr. Dodgo has great ideas as to the importance of the timber districts of South Georgia, lie says that tliev are the cheapest timber lands on the continent uml the only cheap lands Hint arc available, lie has priced large tracts in Canada, Michigan and elsewhere, anil finds none that can he had so cheaply, or utilized at such profit as the lands of South Georgia, lie is clearing away large tracts, ami is preparing to settle the lauds up as lie gets them ready for cultivation. He Is now arranging with a colony of Swedes to route South and take up their quarters in hi* newly cleared fields. We have little doubt tlie tide oneo started to that region it will rapidly swell to imposing propm- tious.
