At four o’clock we Vere on our journey Southward. The marks of war continued to meet the eye on either hand. Decatur, Covington, and Social Circle; all stand rs monuments of the destructive influence . x>l maddening strife. Scattered along at differ ent pqjnts, can be seen “the machinery and rolling stock of the Na«hvffe and Chatta nooga, and the East Tennissee and Geor gia Railroads, having.hem located here for safety during the wai Business, in most of the villages throigh which we passed, seemed languid aid lifeless, the general impression is that l would not be wisdom to purchase anything like heavy sto. ks, at this fevered condition of the market, as prices would b» compelled to decline. Sombre looking for a commer cial crash, foreshadowed, as they think, by the recent panic of WulJ Street. The crops, so far as 1 could learn, were moderate, y«t a sufficiency will be gathered for home consumption. The negroes were rej resented as “obstrepe rous,” and great difficulties are experienced in obtaining laborers. Quite one fourth of the fodder crop was lost for want of help* Even those negroes who professed to labor only worked about three or four hours per day. The planters are endeavoring to procure white laborers to till their ground, satisfied that the nogro in his present po sition will not do to depend upon for a coming crop. I htive improved every occasion during my journey to converse wi h gentlemen from every community througe which I have passed, about the state of feelings in their respective neighborhoods, in refer ence to reconstruction. The universal T’T'*" 5 "— —the people were accepting ill gwA *L_ r U.g- - . ment, and were with marvelous unanimity conungup to the supportof the President’s policy, and conforming to the new order ©f things. Notwithstanding the efforts of a certain class of politicians and editors, this work of restoration is going on. From every quarter of the South we hear of this good work progressing. Although the nigger-worshipers, both North and South, are endeavoring to make another “bleeding Kansas” out of the South, the true yeoman-' ry of the country are comiag up manfully to the work of restoration. It is needless to add, that their voice will be heard. Our car was crowded, resembling Con federate times. Amid the motley mass theie were some rare specimens of human nature. I had always believed that in the South, woman was held in high esteem, and man would make any sacrifice for her comfort. But that dream was dissipated, as I saw lady after lady entering the car, and compelled to stand while at least twenty men were sitting in comfortable seats. For the benefit of my lady readers, for be it understood I appreciate them, I will give the outlines of a costume of one of my traveling companions. The lady would w r eigh about one hundred and fifty avoirdupois, and measure in height five and a half feet. Her dress was made of alpacca, I mean the skirt—the waist, or that part above the waist, was of that fabric known as white homespun, and trimmed with heavy black, frilled and flut ed. Her belt, some three inches wide, was made of nankeen, copperas colored homespun, and served as well for a corsett, (hickory splits.) Around her neck was hung a gutta-percha beads. Her palmetto was trimmed with very broad white ribbon, edged with black. Her face resembling a large duU;h cheese, was hid behind a dark brown veil. A charming creature indeed. At seven o’clock, fifteen mortal hours out, found us safe at Augusta. After a good night’s rest at the Planters’ Hotel, I started forth to learn somewhat of this ancient city. Augusta is decidedly a beautiful place. Not only so, but a busi ness place. One of the first points I visited was the spacious office of E. M. Bruce & Cos., where I was kindly received, and felt at ease at once, for no one coming in contact with the senior of this firm but what feels that he is in the presence of a gentleman. And by the way, he knows the virtue of printer’s ink, and is using it. Perhaps there is not a more liberal patron of the press ub the South than this firm, the consequence of which is, they are doing the most extensivo business. The next I went to was to chat with the “ brethren of the quill.” I found them all ,jn excellent spirits, lor all seemed to be doing well. The Constitutionalist has been much enlarged to meet the wants of its numerous patrons. The Chronicle and Sentinel expects soon to follow suit. The Transcript is doing well, but I did not learn of its intention to increase its dimen sions. Business is not quite so brisk as it has been for a month or two past, still there is quite an extensive retail trade. The cotton market is flat. Ihe gossip of the day is the trial of three young men for the murder of a Fed eral Cuptain,Jwhich is progressing before a Military Commission. Many silly things are said in reference to it, but as the whole matter will soon be made public, I forbear any remarks. Some evil-disposed persons have been addressing some very silly and insulting anonymous letters to Gen. Steed man. I cannot think that they csme from the fine.ids of the young men on trial, (to whom they are attributed) for certainly no sane mao, knowing the stern and decided character of Gen.'Steedman, would for a moment dreaip.that he could be deterred by such a contemptible course. He is madp of sterner material, and all such threats drop harmless at his feet. These missives doubtless emanate from some malignant soul, who would gladly keep up a *johtinual strife, and put at variance the people and the military. We hepe the authors can be ferretted out, and be com pelled to suffer commensurate with their crime. The citizens are calling out som-j of their best men to represent them in the coming State Convention. Those with whom I conversed speak hopefully of the future, and believe that there is in store for Georgia a more brilliant destiny than her most sanguine supporters hitherto antici pated. It is true, there are some here who look upon the dark side, and think that it will be a long time before peace and quiet reigns and civil law restored. Ands imo, so I am informed, would not have civil authority reinstated if it was in their power. More anon. - x>. ZiA UUTJi. Northeast Georgia. After a fatiguing journey of several days, 1 found rest at Athens. At first view, there is nothing prepossessing in the appearance of the town, but after passing up the street, we discover many neat and comfortable dwellings nestled among the hills. And in the centre of the town, hid away among the trees, may be found the State TJniversity, with its capacious build ings. Here, too, is the residence once oc cupied by one of Georgia’s noblest sons— Hon. T. R. R. Cobb. And here still re side others of Whom Georgia may well be proud—Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon. Judge Lumpkin, one of the ablest jurists of his day, and Hr. A. A. Lipscomb, the highly esteemed and popular Chancellor' of the State University, than whom, it is said, there exists not on the continent a more thorough scholar or accomplished Christian gentleman. Add to this a high toned, intelligent and relined society, and you have the principal attractions of Athens. Business, as yet, is not very brisk; still, an increase is anticipated, in consequence of which every business house is engaged for the coming year, at almost doable the usual rates of rent. A considerable amount of cotton escaped the ravages of war, and ife finding its way into this market. Quite dn amount of produce is purchased here for other markets. It is evident, from the interest manifested, that Athens will be come quite a market, as it is the inlet to the great mining regions of upper Georgia, and the only outlet for the gold, copper and iron of that vast mountain country.— It is through Athens all the supplies will have to pass, as it is the nearest railroad point. In fact, small quantities of gold in the crude state are offering every day upon the street. A number of gentlemen, rep resenting a large amount of capital, are now making investigations in Cherokee.— If the prospect is sufficient to warrant, a large number of hands will at once be placed at work. The mining regions of Georgia, rich beyond calculation, are des tined to draw hither capital and enterprise. In every direction I go, I take occasion to feel the public pulse upon the subject of reconstruction. Here I find, as well as elsewhere, the same spirit manifested—a general acquiescence in the circumstances which surround us, a hearty support of President Johnson, a longing desire to be relieved from military rule and placed un der civil law once more. It is true that there are a few who think otherwise, nnd would rather be governed a9 a conquered province, ns’ they desire not to have any part in legislation. The State University will be opened in regular order about the first of January next. The efficient President is now ar ranging classes, and putting in repair the buildings for the coming session. Young men who desire to enter school can be ar ranged in classes now, and can proceed in their studies just as if the College was in its regular session. All the professors ive here, and hear recitations privately with as rhueharegularity as if the University was in operation. Every preparation is being made for a large attendance. . J I juilipkiu tins A pHValt oVtirio f» \iivvli he is instructing in the difficulties and mys teries of the law, and should any young man desire to enter this profession, he could not place himself under a more competent instructor than this able jurist. The weather is exceedingly hot for this season of the year and for this locality.— Some few cases of sickness, but as a gen eral thing the health ol the town is very good. More anon. D. La Rove. How to Avoid the Epidemic. The Philadelphia Press devotes some five columns to an able article on the chol era. From it we copy the following as the best manner by which the epidemic can be avoided. It says: To avoid the cholera and other kindred diseases, proper attention should be paid to diet, cleanliness, exercise, pure air, reg ular sleep, and due regulation of the pas sions. A proper quality of food is fur nished by the farinaceous graing, when of sound and plump berry, perfectly clean, coarsely and recently ground, and rightly made into bread. This, with wholesome ft nits, such as ap ples, pears, grapes, berries, etc., when per fectly ripe and sound, and pure soft water, furnish the very best dietetic material of which man can avail himself, for his own health, coinfort, and safety from disease.— These articles should be received twice or thrice a day, at regular intervals, and thor ough mastication should be eflecte J. To these might bo safely added a mo/’jrale use of sweet cream, or recently made but ter thinly spread on good bread, but never .re »Tiiviuf>ojiie vegetables wnen plainly pre pared. If all food consisting of animal tissues be entirely and forever abandoned, a proper farinaceous and fruit diet will soon be found far more conducive of our individual health, comfort and pleasure, and to ail the social enjoyments of life.— The strongestand most enduring structures in the animal kingdom are formed directly from the vegetable kingdom. Vegetable nutriment furnishes far firmer and better organized elementary globules to the arte rial blood than that derived from animal tissues. Man is constitutionally adapted to a fruit and farinaceous diet, as is evident from the structure of his prehensile and aimentary organs. But if a man will use animal food, it should be only the muscular or lean part of healthy, clean, animals, re cently killed, and this used but once a day, with good bread and vegetables, plainly prepared. Twice or thrice a day is as often as any well person ought to eat, and too often when one is sick. “The more you nourish a diseased body the worse you make it,” is the truthful saying of some one. The nibrc labor you put to disorder machinery the more danger there is of complete ruin. A diseased organism re quires more vitality in its issues rather than increase of material. All the tissues, unless held under the direct, constant, and powerful control of vitality, tend fast to dissolution. Exercise should be such as to give full and free aotioa to the vascu lar system. It should be regular and in the open air, where the two great respiratory surfaces may come in contact with the pure element for. producing and diffusing animal heat throughout the system. Clothing should be loosely worn to admit this free contact of the air with the pores of the skin. To keep this surface perfectly clean, and thus in a fit condition for a discharge of its respiratory functions, a sponge, or shower bath, should be daily used, or at least, twice or thrice a week, and directly after each a coarse towel should be freely used over the surface This not only promotes healthful cutaneous action; but also that of subjacent tissues, and thus largely con tributes to the general health, and is, con sequently, a protection against all kinds of epidemics. The air in contact with the internal and external surface should be kept pure Sitting-rooms and dormitories should be weft ventilated. In perfectly sound sleep there is a large increase of vitality in the tissues; hence, regular sleep is a great preventive of disease. The nervous tissue is the most delicate of the animal structures. It forms the brain and spinal marrow, with their numerous ■cords and branches, dispersed through the /organism, and the nerves of organic life, to the vessels and viscera of the,system. In its close texture with all the other tissues, it forms a direct coin mumcation between all parts of the vital republic. Consequently, sudden and vio lent mental emotions tend greatly to de tracts Vitality from internal organs, and heacettatltnaaomthctf functional power.— Vol. Lxm —No. 137 Hence it is no unusnal thing for one hi a fit of sudden anger or rage to beoome very pale in his features. The reason »s that the great and rapid expenditure of vitality through the brain has detracted eo much from the tissues of the liver and otW*r in ternal organs, that their functions are bat feebly carried on, and hence blood is not thoroughly renovated. Hence, abo, it is that great fear or anxiety of mind tends strongly to undermine the general health, and thus expose one more directly to epi demic diseases. Indeed, if the internal organs were already considerably weaken ed and oppressed, one might readily in duce the cholera by being constantly atann ed about it. And with still greater facility might tfiis happen wheQ there is combined with this constant worriment of mind attend ance upon those sick with it. Breathing close air in a sick room, in such a case, would be very likely to induce it. Chloridn of lime, or other disinfecting agents, should be used in suah rooms, and good ventilation secured; and there should be a suitable change of attendants, so that no one may become greatly over-wearied. All violent passions of the mind—on ac count of the rapid exhaustion of vital power they cause from the nervous tiasue, and through this of the internal organs— should be avoided as a preventive to the cholera. Sudden and excessive drinking of ice water should be strictly avoided, as this affects almost directly the liver, and tends to paralyze its action. A case has recent ly been reported to mo of a laboring man, apparently in good health, and wheu there was no cholera about, by drinking exces uiv«ly of ioo-nnld water, was immediately taken with cramps, vomiting and purging, assumed a livid color, and in about two hours died, thus exhibiting the usual path ological phenomena of the cholera. In this case, as is common with lal*>rers, the liver and kidneys were probably already considerably oppressed by full and im proper diet, and then his sudden drinking of the ice-water, when the system waa overheated, completely paralyzed the action of the liver and kidneys, and, an a natural result, the man had the cholera, or wbat ia called the cholera when generally preva lent. The habitual use of intoxicating drinks, of tobacco (either by chewing, smoking, or snuffing,) and of strong tea or coffee, all forcibly tend to greatly weaken and event ually break down the functional power of the liver and kidney, these, that of other vital organs, and hence to make'fit subjects of the cholera and kindred disease*- l>rinsing hard of irn pui-o u'fltor fpnitj ol»o ffrvatly to similar effects. .The disease called the “gravel”is frequently produced by the habitual use erf water holding mineral sulwrfancc* in solu tion. These mineral qualities, being strain ed <ut or secreted from the blood by the action of the liver arid kidneys, aid tlx>d ed off to the bladder, form harl concre tions not voidable with the urine, and these cause inflammation* and ol en much pain in the parts with which they come in contact. Pure soft water is the bnly kind that should ever bo dietically* used. Whenever holding mineral or vegetable matter in solution, it is injurious just in proportion to such adulteration. Bnt when soft and pure, it is a perfec*!v neutral substance, and is as well adapted to supply the requisite moisture to the tissues, as is the pure juice of fruits. Another similar case, though not fatal, was related to me. A farmer had worked hard through the day at harvesting At sup|ier he n'o heartily of meat. During the night he was P’lddeniy taken with violent vomiting, purging, cramps, etc. His skin became deadly cold and livid. ari.*j he exhibited all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera; and so the attending phywcnm called it; yeb there was no other of cholera that season. In all such cases it may be well to call in a well educat'd physician, provided ho will bnn K aW with him common sense, and leave his pill bags at home. • Medicine, in cholere casus is often like the last grain of sand which broke the camel's back Men. —lt is a notable fact ia criminal statistics, that no fat man was ever sonneted of the crime of murder. - Stout persons are not revengeful; nor «• a general thing, arc they agitated by gu»U of passion. Few murderers weigh more than teu stone. a There are, however, exceptions wtieh jus tify usin assuming eleven as the utmost limit, of the sliding scale, but beyond that there is no impulse toward bomi ide.
