LETTER FROM DIXIE.
Dtar J\es* : I hope you know the cause
of my long silence, for my prayer bus been
that of the Grecian hero, when enveloped in
unnatural clouds and darkness -
“Pispell this gloom, the light of heaven restore,
Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more.’*
You know that my homo is now about
about half-way up the Georgia Hail Hoad,
and while I’m not the man who—
“Ch’d for a lodge in some vast wilderness,
With boundless contiguity of shade,”
still the few hundred acros of uplaud and
lowland, Oakland, creek and swamp, And
the big old house a half century old, all
accord more with the perpetual vordancy of
my nature than the autumn of my years.
The great institution, that gives alike
perpetual noise and novelty to our rural
homo is the Georgia Rail Road. You folks
who have theatres and Freednen’s Bureaus
and the intelligent contraband, and fire
men’s parades and dust, never get time to
noiico that wonder of the animal kingdom,
the Steam alia* Iron Horse engine. You
ought some dark night, to stumble unex
pectedly on its track, and hear the rum
bling of the coming earthquake. Then
comes a dragon with an eye of fire and jaws
full of live coals, dragging after him a long
swaying body full of human victims, and
rousing the ‘boar immemorial echoes’ by a
shriek, like a catamount with a grindstone
on its tail. It is the genius of the nine
teenth century, the laud iron clad, rushing
from the darkness behind to the darkness
before—
“On, on, with a haughty front, a shriek, a puff,
and a bound,
Where the tardy echoes awake too late to re-echo
back the sound!”
This old artery for the heart blood of
Georgia commerce, has suffered much. But
in spite of the conscription that kept both
road way and rolling stock as near ruin as
possible, from the drain of skilled labor;
in spite of war and worthless money and
General Sherman, and the utter prostration
of a vanquished people, the old Hoad is yet
an institution on the earth. All excres
cences are lopped off, all expenses reduced
to mu oasis ot necessity, and before long a
great and prosperous corporation, will rear
itself to the old financial power, and stand
a monument to the zeal and energy of E.
W. Cole. With the Western «l> Atlantic
Hail Hoad taxing the vast grain fields of
Cherokee Georgia, and the West, and with
those noble corporations, tbo South Caro
lina Hail Rond and Central Rail Hoad,
rising Phoenix-like from the ashes of the
past, and reaching out to drink commercial
life from the Atlantic ; with the treed ne
groes at work and Heaven’s rain “falling
upon the just and unjust;” with faith and
hope burning unquenchably in the popular
heart ; with pledges kept and oaths sacred,
and returning good for evil, and reviling
not again, the old Empire State lifts again
her head amid the sisterhood of States,
“Patient of toil, serene amidst alarms,
Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms.”
For she is not conquered yet, and while
her heart never was in the war of secession,
3'et woo to traitors, and woe to treason,
when Audrew Johnson shall re arm her
veterans for the final battles of the Consti
tution. Human liberty is seldom advanced
through blood, and rather than punish the
miserable people who recoiled so often from
the front of Lee, wo would stretch our
charity so far as to believe them as igno
rantly innocent as those who crucified the
Humanity of God, and included in that
canon of Divine mercy : “Father, forgive
them, they know not what they do.”
But Georgia, having done all she was
asked to do, will do no more, nor will she
long allow traitors to close the doors that
shut in the rights of the old covenant of
3 770.
Let us trust Johnson, the Constitution,
and the God of our fathers—
“ There is life in the old land yet.”
Tho great commercial centres of the
North, the vast West, and the not yet hum
bled South, have all a common interest, and
the greenback vitality of Thad Stevens'
Pennsylvania Iron Works, and Yankee
manufactories, and New England codfish,
will not forever control the true interests
and free trade instincts of the nation ; and
puritan traitors who trade in treason, will
find as Hainan did, that gallows often bear
fruit, not contemplated by the builders.
“Ve millions who toil in the South or the North,
Ye with hands strong as one, and hearts of true
worth;
Wipe the sweat from your brows, look aloft and
behold,
On the sweeping West wind there's a banner un
rolled.
Not an inch of that flag but was purchased by
strife,
Not a thread in its woof but was won by a life.
’Tie your hope, your last hope, while it floats there
shall be
A land nndivided, a race that is free.
And woe to the fee, who by discord or war.
Would quench on our banner the beams of a star;
Tho* his hand be ns iron, his heart made so hold,
As to break the strong band that was woven of old,
Ut him heed web the sequel; our banner el blue.
Hat stripes for the traitor, as stare for the true;
And the sun shall not shine on the moon that shall
see,
Diutnembeml or conquered, the flag of the free.”
Bui I’m wandering tos far into the
stormy way of polities, and will 1 seek more
pleasant themes.
I have seen Alexander H. Stephens since
hit return, aud the little human boat that
beers his precious life still float’s on Time’s
unequal tide, defiant of all things, save
truth and God. His prophetic eye and un
bending soul are safe guides not only for
his own life boat, but for the great ships of
s.tate, and the pilots yet steer as of old, by a
compass ami star. The compass is the
Constitution, and the star—bright as that
of Bethlehem—is Hope. His life-boat may
strand against tho headlands of eternity,
before the old ship of state roaches her yet
distant goal ; but the great beacon of that
far shore throws its steady light across the
black waters of her path, aud abovo the
heads of the angels who guard the light,
floats the great banner of the future, in
scribed, *'The Bight* of Man”
Should prophetic hope sing untrue, and
tho great ship go down, let the angels of
God build a tomb on the “other shore,” and
inscribe on its tablet three worthy names :
Stephens, Johnson, tho Constitution.
I recently visited your beautiful oity, and
was greatly pleased with one of its institu
tions of learning. I refer to St. Mary’s
Convent, on Telfair street, near tho new
Catholic Church. As an institution, blend
ing proper firmness, with kindness and love;
where Sisters with music in their souls,
teach music to tho lips and fingers; where
scienco puts off her frown, and learning
grows a pleasant thing; wheye the children
of the rich pay but little, and orphan girls
stay free; where holy women stay to teach,
or only go forth in pairs to minister to the
sick and the poor. All this commends the
Sisterhood to the lovers of their race and
the friends of childhood, even when the ob
server, like the subscriber, worships God
under the sanctuary of a less ancient church,
or does not look to the “Seven Hills” for
the head of his faith on earth, nor seek to
blend tho intercessions of (he Virgin Mary
and tho glorious saints, with his own im
perfect prayers.
I was delighted with the spunk of your
new Mayor, in refusing the use of the city
cemetery for Bryant’s minstrels and his
portable perfume. Perhaps when President
Johnson investigates the private and official
conduct of some of these speculators upon
negro credulity and national authority, they
may get into the cemetery by the full con
sent of the Mayor and the whole communi
ty. I counsel all our people to refrain from
violence, for the arm of the National Gov
ernment is long enough, and strong enough,
to reach all such people. We must not
stain our honor, even to crush an insect
As for the Union soldiers, the same women
who decorated our graves, nursed and fed
them through the sickness of the hospitals
wrote their letters to the loved ones at bnm®,
divided with them, and their own childrer,
the few luxuries left in this blockaded land;
told them of heaven and God in life’s last
battle; and gave them graves in the same
enclosure with our fathers and our children,
when they died in the land of enemies
Bring flowers if ye will, oh ! new born friends
of the negroes tee raised and fed ; for it is
wise to try thus to appease the ghosts of
Northern men who fell in your unholy cru
sade; but when you tell to the widows and
orphans of the North, that you have at this
late day, sought the graves of their honored
dead, trill yon tell them trho were nearest
those Northern soldiers when they died?
Who gave up churches to give them shelter,
and forgetting rape and fire and murder,
ministered to them as Southern women al
ways do, to the suffering, whether friend or
foe? Strew flowers on their dust, oh!
crew, for ye made them die !
As for tho negroes, there is a grave yard
just beyond where we have given sacred
sepulcher to their dead, and in spite of all
the Puritans in New England, they will
reverence ours. Those boys whose graves
we adorned wore the playmates of these
negroes; they were nursed and cared for by
faithful blacks ; they were as dear to the
black people as to their own mothers; the
lips now cold in death, were kissed by
colored people when they were children.
their hands never refused to grasp black
ones, when they were grown; and when
they were buried the tears that wet tho sod,
were as much from tbo eyes of loving ser
vants, as from their own kindred. Do you
think you could take negroes there to insult
our dead? They would only kneel and pray!
I love Augusta, my old homo, its true
people and its big hearts. Love it because
God has embroidered earth right there, with
beautiful women, and strewn children among
its homes, as if a breeze had swayed the
trees of Paradise and shaken down the buds.
I love the comfort of its winter firesides, and
even the sultry indolence of its summers.
Love its gardens, and its sweet flowers, that
seem to hold “a soul in every leaf.” Love
its old churches and its Christian people;
and better than all, the unwavering patriot
ism that clings all the closer to the South,
in that her starry cross is furled forever,and
her empire in the dust. Let rights slumber
and evil men have power, and poverty* and
sorrow only rule; but while tho flowers are
lovely and the sunbeams bright, and the
blood of heroes’ throbbing in our veins, the
Southern heart will keep its faith in God.
“When some great hope breaks under us,
Or loved ones prove unjust.
Or roused from starry dreams we find,
Our pillow in the dust:
Then let us turn in weariness
Toward the grassy way,
Where sky-larks tench us how to sing,
And ring-doves how to pray;
And where the melodies of peace,
That float above the sod;
All bring back hope and happiness,
With the sweet trust in God.”

Adventures in the Land of the
Wild.
IN THE YEAR IS2O, A
P art y huntsmen, somposed of
twenty-eight riflemen from Ken
tucky, set sail in a sloop for the land of
Borneo. After a perilous voyage of ton
days, more or less, they embarked on Bor
neo’s “foam capped shore,” and proceeded to
pitch their tents. Scarcely had the last
peg been driven home, when they were
startled by an immense noise, which emo
nated from a jungle in the immediate neigh
borhood, that resembled thunder. Con
sternation and alarm was momentarily de
picted upon every face, save that of James
Camioux Brnxbtt Boone, a son of Daniel
Boone, who, with a love for adventures in
herited from his father, bade the party
seize their rifles and “ follow where he
dared to lead.” Over the adjoining hills,
and deep into the jungle penetrate these
brave and intrepid Kentuckians, until they
discovered an ANIMAL of HUGE DIMEN
SIONS, resembling in some respects the
BUFFALO, and not unlike the KEN
TUCKY STEER. Tho order woe given to
fire, and the report of twenty-eight rifles
awoke thousands of torpid reptyes from
their slumbers, whose hissing was similar
to those which words of “truth are sup
posed to create in (be infernal regions. ’’
Then, indeed, the combat was fierce and
wild. After nine days of terrific battle
the monster succumbed to Boone and his
companions. His horns were 22 feet in
length, and wbgn he was exhibited at the
Kentucky Fair, in 1838, he weighed fI.OOO
pounds. He lias taken ID medals, which
are now on exhibition in this city. Was
purchased in January, 1866, by Mr. Wing,
who, in consequence ot tho high price of
corn, was compelled to kill him. He
weighed, after being butchered, 4,600
pounds, and was purchased by MR. 11. B.
WILLIS, corner Campbell and Ellis streets,
Augusta, Ga*, who, to accommodate th e
citizens, is now prepared to issue him in
such quantities as his customers may de
sire. Call early if you would see the
medals and procure a DAINTY’ .STEAK
