SUTTER AT TEYTOXA—RETURN TO ROME AND TO
ATI.AXTA—CONCLUSION.
Sei.ma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, >
August 31, 18C9.j
The Coosa, as intersected by this road, is a
beautiful and imposing stream not far from 300
yards in width. Its placid and clear waters
gleamed beautifully in the bright rays of the
setting sun as we passed tho river.
Wo reached Peytona Station a little after ten
at night and found that grand preparations had
been made for our supper, under instructions
from onr hospitable friend Capt. Bamoy, who
has as fine a physique as he has large a soul.—
At least two hundred persons sat down to this
bountiful Rpread. After hunger had been ap
peased, it fell to the lot of the writer in respect
to age and official position, to put, in the form
of words, the sentiments of gratitude felt by all
tho members of tho Press for the extremely lib
eral hospitality displayed by Capt. Barney.
That gentleman took charge of the party at
Romo—provided us a dinner at Peytona—sup
per, lodgings,breakfast, and a ride around Selma
—dinner at Shelby Springs, a rido up the branch
road to the Iron works, and finally a splendidsnp-
per at Peytona. His hospitality had been large
and costly and he had taken the ntmost pains to
entertain and inform tho party throughout tho
trip. It is, therefore, due to him and to his
guests that I give my remarks at the con
cluding entertainment, in heartfelt acknowledg
ment of his extraordinary courtesy. So nearly
as I can recall them they were substantially as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Preu and FcUovc-citizen-$ of
Alabama and Georgia : The extraordinary hos
pitality extended to ns by onr friend. Captain
Barney, calls for some public acknowledgement
from ns as we are about to take leave of him.—
As the oldest member of your body, here pres
ent, I think I may, without presumption, un
dertake to express onr common sentiments on
this occasion. Capt. Barney is a worthy repre
sentative of the overflowing hospitality of Ala
bamians. On two occasions this year have some
of ns literally floated npon that generous and
expansivo stream.
' Wo greet yon, Alabamians, as brethren, uni
ted with us in n common interest and destiny.
Stato lines are arbitrary. Oar interests and
our affections cross them perpetually. Thcso
two great States, lying side by side, are essen
tially ono in all social and industrial concern
ments. Hand-in-hand we have together passed
through a varied experience of joy and sorrow
—of adversity nnd prosperity. When wo re
cur to the history of the last seven yearn and
viow tho aspects of to-day, we ore reminded of
old Banyan’s Pilgrim in that fearful night's
jonrnoy nnd conflict throngli tho Valley of tho
Shadow of Death. Panting, lacerated and bleed
ing, ho toiled up the steep ascent in tho morn
ing and saw the golden beams of the rising sun,
and heard tho singing of the birds.
We, too, fellow-citizens, aro just emerging
from our long night of sorrow and strife to catch
the glad rays of the morning sun. Dat is burst
ing upon us. The elements of recuperation,
both mineral and vegetable, are the most boun
teous that God in his goodness over gave to err-
ing man. With eighty millions’ worth of cotton
a year, tho work of financial recovery must be
rapid. With your mineral wealth affording such
a promising field for the investment of yonr sur
plus earnings, yon will rapidly accelerate your
onward and upward progress.
Gentlemen of tho Press, let ns go homo re
solved to stir np tho people to tho improvement
of tho blessings with which God Almighty has
endowed them. We bid Capt Barney a grate
ful adieu. We hope the day may come when
his railroad will rival the great coal and iron ar
tery of Pennsylvania in the magnitndo of its
operations and its profits.”
A great deal of lively and felicitous speaking
followed, in which Cols. Howard, Gaskill, Bar
ney, Printnp, Scott, Bums, Fitch, and numerous
others, participated—tho wholo concluding with
n capital song by T. D. Wright, of tho Milledgc-
ville Rocorder.
Near tho “ weo sma’ hours" we took tho train
again. It was a beautiful cool night, nnd when
we rolled into Rome, the press wero not only in
tho arms of Morpheus, but many of them in tho
splendid sleeping-car so-named.
September 1.—A breakfast at the Choice
Honso and a kind adien to our hospitable friends
of that city. Col. Cothran and Capt. Burns and
others camo down with ns to Kingston. We owe
mnch to Col. Cothran and Capt, Griffin, who
placed their steamboat at our service on the
Etowah, and furnished ns entertainment at large
personal expense. We aro rolling down tho
State Road, and aro duo in Atlanta at half-past
one r. m.
In tho Gate City, tho liboral host of tho Na
tional Hotel had provided ns with a splendid
banquet, at his own expense, and it was nil in
readiness so soon as wo had removed the dust
of travel. To the press was assigned tho post
of honor at tho table; and after the clatter of
tho repast was well over, CoL Halbert was
called upon and gave ns a beautiful and appro
priate parting speech.
This gentleman is tho very impersonation of
energy, physical and mental strength, and cease
less activity. During the whole trip he has
been almost omnipresent and untiring in his
efforts for the comfort, entertainment and in
struction of the press in regard to all tho great
material interests to which the excursion was
devoted.
The President of tho Association was called
npon to respond, and several interesting speech
es followed. Resolutions of thanks were adopt
ed, nnd, also, a resolution appointing Captain
Weston, of tho Dawson Journal; C. H. C. Wil
lingham, Esq., of the DaGrango Reporter, and
Col. S. A. Atkinson, of tho Athens Southern
Banner, a committee to correspond with emi
nent gentlemen therein named in relation to
tho mining regions of Georgia, and publish the
information from time to time, to be copied by
the press of the State. The party then took an
affectionate leave of each other. During eight
days of constant intercourse, under the most
varied circumstances, the ntmost urbanity had
characterized the demeanor of all. A frank
and hearty good feeling was the unintermitted
order of every day, and all displayed an earnest
purpose to carry out tho objects of the excur
sion. We have every reason to believe that the
results of this excursion will he of tho happiest
character upon the press itself and npon tho in
terests of the State os they will be affected by a
wide-spread dissemination of the important
material facts gathered in our journeyings.—
They cannot fail still more to strengthen that
practical direction which the tone and influence
of the Georgia press are rapidly taking; and
when we reflect that at least forty out of fiftv
odd of the most prominent newspapers in Geor
gia were ably and industriously represented in
these investigations, we cannot doubt their
moral and intellectual effect upon the people.
The addresses and resolutions at the Atlanta
dinner were all reported by a stenographer, and
wo prefer to copy his report of them in the At
lanta papers.
In conclusion, we remark with surprise that
some of onr prints are disposed to intimate that
this trip was conceived or carried on with some
reference to party politics. Nothing can be
more untrue or further from the facts. The
bearing of the Governor could not possibly have
been more unexceptionable. He maintained
throughout an entirely unobtrusive position.—
He made no allusion to politics in the few pub-.
lie remarks his official position required him to
make. His demeanor to all was courteoxss and
cordial in the highest degree—nor did we hear
politics mentioned, except a rather grotesque
and hnmerous discussion of the negro eligibility
question between a few in his presence might
be called politics. If those who entertain and
express these suspicions of a covert political
design in this excursion had been present, they
would have boen relieved of all disquietude on
that subject. We believe it was simply and
solely an expedition devised to interest the'
press and tho people in the mineral regions of
Georgia, and has been carried out successfully
and faithfully to that end.
Georgians, a beneficent God has given ns a
domain of anpaiolleled natural wealth. We
combine wealth-producing resources unexam
pled by any other spot on tho American conti
nent. We havd only to educate ourselves and
our children to take hold of them with energy,
skill, and discretion, and, in a few years, we
shall overflow with wealth. What is wanted is
that we shall study the situation and reap its
advantages onrselves instead of turning them
over to more sagacious and energetic strangers.
Letter from North East Georgia.
Jefferson, Ga., Aug. 28, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : As your weekly circu
lates extensively in this county, possibly a lino
from this point might be of interest to you, and
perhaps to some of your readers.
Jackson Superior Court is' in session this
wick, Judge Davis presiding. Up to this time
(Friday), but three cases have been tried.—
At this speed His Honor win probably clear the
docket about the time tho National debt is
squared. No cases of importance on docket
The crop prospect in this county is gloomy
enough. The drought has about demolished
the upland corn, while bnt a third of a crop of
cotton will be made at best A movement is
on foot here to-day to organize a company to
buy Western com before it gets out of reach.—
The cotton com and potato crops of North East
Georgia will prove almost an entire failure.
Tho surveyors locating tho route for the
Athens and Clayton Railroad reached this place
yesterday. The lino of the road has not been
determined upon yet, though I understand that
some of tho surveyors speak favorably of the
route by Jefferson.

New Oeleans, La., Dec. 10, 1867.

throat and longs, and derived great and per
manent benefit from his treatment by Inhala

recommend Dr. Hunter as a physician of skill
and ability, and worthy the confidence of those
who may require his professional services for
diseases of tho throat and lungs.

A COMPLIMENT ARY CARD TO DR. HUNTER FROM A
RESIDENT OF SEW ORLEANS.
I consider it a duty I owo to the many in this
community who aro suffering from that dread
ful scourge, consumption, to make this stato-
mentof the extraordinary results of Dr. Hunter’s
treatment of my neice, who was suffering from
ail the distressing symptoms of advanced dis
ease of the lungs, when I placed her under his
care last Juno. The cough, hectic fover, night
sweats and bleeding from the lungs have en
tirely subsided, and she has increased mnch in
weight, and acquired an appearance of health
she has not worn for years before.
Having experienced such happy results from
a method of treatment which I consider has,
through tho blessing of God, preserved her
from the brink of tho grave, I cheerfully recom
mend it to tho suffering, believing it is tho only
means by which diseases of tho Inngs can bo
successfully treated.

General Agent, G. M. L. L Co., No. 17 Ca-
rondelet street, New Orleans, La.
SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF ASTHMA.
I cheerfully add my testimony to that of those
who have publicly expressed their high appreci
ation of Dr. Honter’8 skill and gratitude for the
benefit they received from his treatmont.
During tho late war I made the acquaintance
of two gentlemen who had beed radically cured
of Asthma by his treatment, and was indneed
thereby to place myself under his care. Dur
ing my attendance at his office I met many of
his patients, who spoke in the highest terms of
his skill and success, and can folly endorse tho
card published by Mrs. Heart, a few days since
in regard to the truly extraordinary results of
his treatment of her neice, who was apparently
far advanced in Consumption. I believe these
facts shonld be known where there are so many
suffering from these dreadful diseases, and in
subscribing to them I believe I am rendering a
just tribute to a physician whose qualifications
render him worthy the confidence of those who
aro suffering from. diseases of the lungs, and
confidently advise all such to submit themselves
to his treatment.
J. C. Shipley.
