Atlint,, February 19, 1875.
Y«,I did havo a flrst-rato time in At*
llBta—ui enjoyable time. First*--be*
MON I did wbat I went for; end eeoond
—beesoso I foil in with more good fal-
lows than I havo seen for many end menj
* day, Colnuibaa is superior to Atlente
in many respects. This I hire an effide*
▼it ready lo prove. Our city bee more
abstract enterprise in it, and more theo
retic virtue. Our mills ere concrete
enough, to be sure, and there is this dif
ference, as iuy friend and good-netnred
colaboror, H. I. Kimball, will prove.
Atlanta has abstract factories and positive
dislikes to homicides, and other petty
violations of law. We differ in practice,
bnt what of that 7 We have water for
the factories of the world, and wbiaky
and arms for all tho murderers. We
would bnug them, bnt there is no herd
timber about Columbns for gallows, and
there are some hard lawyers, and justice
has grown very fat and lazy, and Juryman
have become professionals. If they pan
Jshed all the oriminels wbst in the name
of con . non-sense could they do for a liv
ing?
THE OATS CITY.
I like Atlanta, despite its leok of manu
facturing enterprises and the vain ef
forts of that most enorgetic fellow, H. I.
K. Tho streets ere well built, the people
wslk fast, and every man in the city
assumes an sir of enterprise, end the ap
pearance of one filled with business, even
if geiog to Bam Bard's post-office to mail
n postal card. Why, yon would think an
Atlanta merchant on such a mission waa
• on his wsy to deposit a fifty thousand
dollar chcok, and was in a harry to gat
back and sell a hundred thousand bill of
goods. One-balf the business houses in
Atlanta are not bar-rooms; I think, how
ever, ono-third are, and this is altogether
attributable to the fact that Atlanta has
no regular water-works. At the hotels
they bi ing you water in a cream pitoher,
and the wash-bowls are liko saucers. If
you order aqua viliu they bring it up—
that it, if they think yon are an Atlantian
—in a bath-tub. But it is a splendid oity,
this Kimballviile, and a credit to onr
State..
I1U KXCKLLENOY.
• Of course.1 saw Governor Smith, and
be looked as good and solid, and de
meaned himself an frankly and courteous
as ever gentleman could. He is a thor
ough type of the men that are to be, the
strong manly, fearless men whose power*
ful aruiH and directness of purpose are
yet to lift Georgia into the front rank of
Btate^ lie has gathered able man about
him. Our own Alexander is one. And
he has dared to do right, without oonsid-
sriug for an instant who was to be
pleased. I did not admire his thanksgiv
ing proclamation, but he can issue a
thousand such, and may he live to do it,
if ho only ootitionos indexible in his ad*
—^jniuistration of tho law.
Ol'U T11E4BUREH.
Treasurer Jones, I learned, was in
trouble, and, on inquiry I found the ru
mor to bo truo; yet thore was never e
man who intimated that Mr. Jonea, aa an
individual, was not honest in his aots and
upright in his intentions. It is conceded
that ho ha.*: been deceived, and that hia
accounts wero not kept in a business like
way; yet be did what niuety-nine men
out of a hundred, with his experience,
would have done. The State, according
to returns, should have had abont $900,-
000 in the Treasury. That it hsa not is
not the fault of Mr. Jones, but arises from
onr deture to make a good showing for
political purposes, added to the duplioato
payment of some bonds in the hands of
sharpers. Mr. Jones is a good man, aud
in his very honesty of purpose he permit
ted himself to be a tool on the one hand
aud a dupe on tho other.
OKNEBAL TOOMBS.
I met General Toombs, and on being
introduced tho old gentleman dropped hie
arms like a shot, then laid them on your
correspondent's shoulder, with the ex
clamation, “I like you, old fellow ,
bees so you are more liko me than any
man in Georgia." “Do you mean moral
ly, General?" I asked. “No; but be
cause you aro neither afraid nor ashamed
to s«y what you think." I Bubseqaeutly
mot him by appointment at his room, and
while it would be violating the laws of
hospua' : ty to repost tho interview, I can
say 1 hit that room with much of my
prejudice gone. Every man concedes
General Toombs’ ability, and all who
kuow him thiuk him rough and profane.
Truoly, ho is not careful iu his laugoage,
and sometimes ho is startling in his
very strength of denunciation, yet the
nun's heart m right and his judgment
good. Thore can he no doubt, apart from
his prominence, that he ia an extraordi
nary man, And the most epigramstio con-
versHtionalist in America. I recollected
many of the rush expressions attributed
to bin:, such as “I will yet call the roll of
my bluves io the shadow of Bunker Hill
Monuaiont," and “Open hostilities, I will
drink all tho blood shed ” The Genersl
emphatically denied ever having uttered
such Sentiments, “For," said he, “I knew
war, to be successful, must be reduced to
a business, and before the first gun was
fired 1 said, if wo do not win in eighteen
months tho Yankees will get accustomod
to war, make it o business, and win. I
was right, as tho result showed." Gen
eral Toombs 1ms a long gray tuft of hair
on bis throat, his eyes are a light hazel,
aud his complexion tlorid. Ilia forehead
is high rather than broad, his head massive
and crowned with a luxuriant growth
of steel gray hair, llis body is strong,
long and well put together. He must
have been a physical giant twenty years
ago. Ilis legs are short, yet he stands,
if he could uuravol the stoop years have
given to hiH broad shoulders, fully aix feet
high, llis voioo is rich and sympathetic,
and looking at the man aud hearing him
in oonveraation, I could easily imagine
his influence over a mats. He did not
impress me us a student, lie is an absor
ber, a man with iutuitivo ideas, and con-
aequontly a dogmatic man. Wero he a
scholar hu would be truly great. Intellec
tual as a birthright, he^is a sensuous
man by nature, brave to a fault, and
generous to a failing. Y’et he impresses
me as a man of impulses, who is often
sorry for his mistakes and too proud to
eonfees them. lie loves and hates with
- - equal intensity, and he is ever ready to
bate his friend aud love his foe. We are
too near this man to judge him properly,
but Farnfi in the post has written inferior
names, with glowipg pen, high on her
scroll.

them in subsequent loti, t*; bnt I met county ; to fix the
Governor Brown. It took mo some lime Receiver, Collector
to appreoiste the fact that this tall, slon- lloudoi county ; to
der, loog-f«oed, gray-haired, clerical- meat law-t so fur a*
looking man waa the war Governor of
Georgia, lie impressed me at first as a
mountain prtaeher with his Sunday
olotbes on, and that he felt very nnooru-
fortable in the fit. He has no superfluous
flesh on him. The faet is, he has not
enough by fifty pounds for his well-boned
frame. He has a keen gray eye, but so
cultured in its expression that Beelzebub
himself could not tell wbst be was think
ing* about by the expression. He is tho
very opposite of General Toombs. He is
one of those provokingly cool men who
are always right and can prove it; while
an impetnoos opponent, confident that be
ia right, will be nonplussed before
his assertions. Hs is not a man of cul
ture. Wore be, he would be the liiobe-
lieu of America, minus the priestly garbs.
He is not e sympathetic man, and could
naver touch the popular heart, but he hsa
intellect and the power of taking a mere
permanent hold ou the reason. He takes
mora care of Brown’s interests and cares
more for Brown thao he does for all the
outsida word. Yet, if I read this man
aright, in my abort interview, he ia not
heartless, but oynioal, and nnder the
armor he presents to the world he
earriea a more generous heart tlmu
this generation will give him credit
for. Hfill he can never have a warm
friend, that is not a dependent;
and whila moo admire his keen abilities,
they will donouooe his apparent coldness.
Altogether, this queer peraon, this human
riddle impressed me as the strongest man
I have so far met ia the South. Anu.
■ompenaatioii of tho
and Trflaanrer of
a m nd tbe ga^nibh-
kev relate to mor-
Owr Beaenrcee.
Georgia has been io the position, here
tofore, of a man who imagined himuslf
wery wealthy, but, on balancing bin ao-
oounta at the end of each year, found
himself ia debt. He felt coufldfnt he
wae wealthy, and apprised hia creditors
that he had fialda of cotton and grain,
aplsodid valleys for graziug, timber-clad
hills and mountains of coal and iron, yet
hia farni9 were wretched; and, when
aakad about his mineral wealth, be point
ed to the mountains and spoko iu a gen
oral way about coal, irou, copper, marble,
•late aud marl. Now, Georgia lun had
reason to brag about her resources, but
•ha baa had but little definite information
of bar own wealth. We have boon very
liberal in appropriating money, nominal
ly, to iuonase our woslth aud develop our
resources; but tho most useful ap
propriation ever made by our btute
waa that of ten thousand dollars for
the enoonragemeut and u:o of the
geological survoy, under Dr. Little.
Never was there teu thousand dollurs
•pent to mora advantage; and a complete
survoy of the State would proaeut all our
resources, at a glance, to thoso Hooking
investment. Every maohanio is interested
in this work, and every planter will be
beuotUtcd by the nompletiou of the sur
vey. The Btute, of course, is not woalthy,
yet, poor as she uisy be, she should be
alive to a measure so calculated to give
the world an idea of her superb undevel
oped wealth.
We understand the geological survoy is
to contiune, and no matter bow small the
appropriation may be, it will do good.
Yet, if this survey is to benefit us, and wo
believo it wiU, the sooner it iu completed
the better. Nothing cun bo more satis-
factory than tho survey so far. Dr. Little
has beeu well selected, sad he has done
his work to the great satisfaction of ail.
By all means continue this work, aud
show tho world by positive facts what
we have heretofore said, iu a general and
very indefinite way, about our State.—

from parties who want State aid iu the

HOW BROOKS AND OR ANT PROPOSE TO IN
VADE T1IK STATE.
Washington, February 20.—It is gen
erally conceded that, unless Congress
shall act, tho President will, after the ad
journment, respond fuvorably to any ap
plication by Brooks for military aid to in
stall him in power. One of the plans
suggested, by which the plot is to be car
ried out, is for Brooks to cuter Arkansas
by the way of the Indian Territory, and
to establish himself at Fort Smith, ou tho
western border of Arkansas, gathering
about him such adherents as maybe ready
to rally to his standard. He would be on
United States soil, aud therefore protected
from att lek or arrest by Governor Gar
land. From this poiut he would iuvoko
and receive the Federal protection and aid
which Graut has already bound himself
to give bydo:-luriug iu his message that
he ( Brooks) is tbo leg illy chosen Governor
of Arkansas. Tne best opinion is that
Graut is ready for any desperate resort,
aud there is no step of usurpation that he
could now take that would surprise the
public mou of both parties.

kots of elegant flowers to keep around bar

the servants knew share they oame from. I
The following valuable suggestions are
called from Dr. Hall's Journal of Health:
Dyspepsia means a difficulty in prepar
ing the food eaten so that the nutriment
cau be extraoled from it to supply tho
wants of the system. Eating too fast and
too much ore prolific causes ; tho first be-
oauho tho food, being swallowed in too
large piece*, begins to ferment before it
can digest; and tbo second, because tho
stomach cannot cope with the quantity
forced upon it. A limited supply of guR-
trio juice is another enure, eud this im
plies bad b*ood. Out-of-door life, mod
erate exercise until hungry, aud simple
food, aro the best remedies.
Bitters, the names of the multitudinous
varieties of which disfigure the fenoes and
scenery of the.country,come in for severe
handling, on a^conut of their alcoholic
composition. In brief, while person*
using bitters as u medicine, they aro often
drinking, three times a day, a more con
centrated form of aloohol than is found in
the purest whit-kies and brandies,
should be set down a* a settled rule
that bitteis in any form is alcohol iu dis
guise.
Localities of life should be high. Ele
vated stations are generally exempt from
the ravages of consumptiveadisease. The
air is lighter und contains less oxygen
bnt as tho lungs live on uxygeo, as it is
the oxygen which they bring in contuct
with tho blood at every breath, it is that
which purifies and gives it its life-giving
pover. If each breath of air does not
give a sufficient amount of oxygen, in
stinct prompt* a fuller breath; this dis
tends the lungs more fully, aud thus de
velop* and strergthens them. A state
ment is given of the elevation of several
American cities : New Orleans is relative
ly given aa 10; New York and Philadel
phia, 35; Boston, 40; Chicago, 585; Ne
braska City, 1,000; aud Winona, Minn.
1,500.
Many a family mansion ha* been built
with the accumulations of the savings of
half a lifetime to make the graves of half
the household in a few months, from neg
lect of the precautions for thorough drain
age and a proper water supply for drink
ing aud cooking. Never select a house
over a tilling; prefer sandy soil or tho top
of a hill.
With reference to winter 'garments
sufficient clothing should bo worn to keep
off a feeling of chilliness when about usual
tivocutions. Less than that subjects one
to nn attack of d-mgerous pneumonia at
auy day or hour. More than that op
presses. ritoadily aim, by all possible
ways aud tneauH, to keep off a feeling of
chilliness, which always indicates that
cold has boon taken.
lusrinct teaches that less cxertive power
is required to keep moving than, after
coming to a standstill, to set the body
motion again. The frequent stoppigos
of stages and street car* kill off the horses,
Instinct also teaches the requisite expon
diture of strength according to the cir
cumstances of tho senson. No ono walks
as fa*t iu summer as iu wiuter. Wo get
up iu the morning with a certain amouut
of strength, aud much may be gaiued by
ecouomiziug during the day.
Spectacles become ucce*sary when you
first notice yourself going to the window
iustinotively for a hotter light, or when
your eyes get tired by looking at any
small thing near at hand, or u dimness,
watering is manifested, so as to cause in-
distinctness. First purchase No. 20; aud
as you observe the symptoms above
named, get No. 18, and soon. Theglassc-
should be near enough to tho eye almost
to touch the lashes; they should be
washod every morning in cold water aud
curried in a pocket by themselves. Bra
zilian pebble makes the best lenses. Avoid
reading before sunrise aud after sunsot,
Read as little a* possible before breakfast,
or by artificial light; do not sew ou dai
material after night, and use no other ey
wash than pure, tepid, soft water. 1
bios’eyes ure often injured by allo*i
the glaring sunlight to fall upon them.
Ex‘raise is worth more than nil the
medicines ia maintaining health,
rains, take au umbrella and let it ruia on
if it is cold, walk or work faster; if it
windy, : ;um around and go the other way;
if it rains hiils, snows, and blows, all nt
once, so that you have to stay indoors,
then live uu bread and water that day, not
sn atom else, and yon will need no exer
cise to work it up.
It should always bo borne iu mind that
a large share of our little aches and psius
wnnld pass off about as soon by letting
them alone as by doing or taking some
thing; and tho more we “take," the
greater is the necessity for “taking.”
The best way to eujoy things is to use
thorn, and thus got the worth of onr mon
ey out of them. There is no use of gorge
ous parlors kept iu darkness.
Sometimes the reading of a siuglo sen
timent iu a newspaper makes au impres
sion on the mind which tinges the whole
subsequent life for good.
