THE ATLANTA WEEKLY, SUN FOR THE WEEK ENDING AUGUST 14 1872.
THEIATDLAOT
Written for the Sun.
ACROSTIC.
Honored son, thy country weep*,
One patriot more in death now sleeps.
None ever proved more true.
Loved name; on every Georgian'! heart
Inacribod indellibly thou art;
No lengthened time can ever blast
Thy glorious deeds from ont the past;
On earth thine echoes linger yet.
None can thy coumels e'er forget,
Strong was tby will, none could subdue,
Thy every word and action, true.
Each idea seemed an Inspiration
Pouring out wisdom to the nation,
Hope of the State whom death has wot*,
Enjoy that land beyond the sun;
No cares may fret, nor troubles jar;
Sure as thy truth tby triumphs are I
Gen. Toombs at Athens.
Wefgivo below an extract from a pri
vate letter to one of the editors of tbis
paper, written by a young friend who
visited Athens solely with a view to hear
the Alumni address of this distinguished
Georgian — giving the impressions it
made upon his mind. From other quar
ters we have similar accounts of the ef
fects of the speech:
Athens, Ga., August 6,1872.
1 have just heard General Toombs’
Alumni address. Some who have heard
him before, say his effort on this occasion
was not equal to some they have heard
from him, but I say his speech is the
grandest I ever heard, and fear that I
shall never hear its equal again. I came
up here expecting a great deal from what
I had heard the of power of his eloquence,
and can truly say, “the half had not been
told.”
At first he commenced reading his
manuscript, but soon flung it aside and
went right on as if he had been be
fore a Court or on the hustings.—
Never before aid I have a clear con
ception of the sublimity of oratory.—
His speech was much too short for me,
and wnen he sat down amidst prolonged
cheers, the cry went up all through the
large audience, “ Toombs 1 Toombs l
Toombs 1”
Yon may think me too enthusiastic,
but I write as I feel when I assure you
that the speech was the grandest and
most soul-stirring I ever heard. Amply
do I feel compensated for my coming
solely to hear it.
Meeting of True Democrats.
An important meeting of straight
Democrats, of Troup county, was held
on the 6th instant, and the following
resolutions were adopted. Dr. W. P.
Bagland was Chairman and Mr. A. H.
Cox Secretary. We copy from the -Re
porter.-
Whereas, we, some of the people of
Troup county, are dissatisfied with the
action of the Baltimore Convention,
making a party nomination of the Lib
eral Republican nominees and in ratify
ing the Cincinnati platform; he it
1. Resolved, That we adhere to the
principles and to the prescriptions of the
past, and consider none of them as dead
issues which go into the theory of our
federative Government — the rights of
the States and the liberties of the peo
ple.
2. Resolved, That we appoint the 13th
day of August as the time upon which to
hold a public meeting for Troup county,
at which we will consult upon what is
best to be done for tne commonwealth
and the people, especially to consider
•whether we will send delegates to the
State Convention to be held in Atlanta
on the 20th inst.
3. Resolved, That we indulge in the
hope that the political movement, abont
to culminate in a Convention to be held
in Lonisville, Ky., on the 3d of Sep
tember next, may result in the coagula
tion of a National Democratic party, to
which we can conscientiously give oui
support.
4. Resolved, That should said move
ment fail to found a party of national
import, we shall advise our fellow-citi
zens to cast their votes for the electors
upon the Cincinnati and Baltimore
ticket and platform.

The following resolution was offered
Barr0W| Esq ‘’ and unanimously
"Whereas, A wise and inscrutable
. Providence has seen fit to remove from
' his earthly labors, Hon. Linton Steph
ens, in the full vigor and strength of his
minhood, thereby leaving a void not only
e . domestic circles, but in the
wider circle of his friends and acquaint
ance throughout the State and county,
whichwe feel it -trill be impossible to
fill. Therefore, be it
* . y^solved^ That we extend to the
» stricken widow and fatherless children,
the tenderest Bympathy of our hearts,
V ^th the earnest hope that the same
‘ ^Providence that lias, in its hidden wis
dom, made their hearts and home so
iieaolate, may bring them, in due time
k tn^ oonsolation.
Ived, That in his death, the peo-
1 , natiye State, have sustained a
» felt in the councils of
i.of justice, in the so-
k^ry department of
life, in all of which he was the same high
example of official and private integrity,
of high-toned honor, and of sound and
philosophical views.
Moved, that these proceedings be
published in the Atlai ta Sun and Consti
tution, and in the Angnsta Constitution
alist and Chronicle and Sentinel.
■*,The meeting adjourned till the first
Tuesday in September.

about the crops.
Tbe Work of the Catterplllar Begun.
The Savannah Republican of the 8th
says:
We were yesterday sent, by a friend,
a box of fresh cotton leaves with what
is thought the catterpillar on them.
The box and its contents were sent from
Brooks connty, as a sample of what may
be expected from that portion of the
connty. We hope if these ugly worms
do turn ont to be tbe regular cotton cat
erpillar (or what should now be termed
the carpet-bagger of the cotton field)
that their work of destruction may meet
with a check from hot suns.
A Quitman correspondent of the Sa
vannah jNews, writing on the 6th,says:
It is a settled fact that we have cater
pillars in this section. I saw two of my
neighbors, on Sunday, who told me they
had caterpillars in their cotton. I wss
in mine on Monday, and found that I
had the cotton caterpillar, and plenty of
them. I find tnat most of them have
webbed, showing that they have been in
the cotton for some time. We have had
almost constant showers since Friday,
causing the cotton to shed badly. It is
just the weather for caterpillars. To-day
was a public day, aud I saw men from
all parts of tbe connty. Caterpillars
are reported to be general.
Another Georgia exchange says:
The crop is all of three weeks late.—
The bottom or first crop is a medium
one. The middle crop is not half as
good as the bottom, and the top crop
has good prospect of not coming*to ma
turity. The weed is good—unusually so,
and a casual observer would say there
never was a better cotton crop, but go
into the field and examine closely, and
the matured fruit will be found to be a
small crop, comparatively speaking.
The caterpillars have made their appear
ance in all of the surrounding counties,
but only to a small extent, but it is
thought the middle of the present month
'will reveal to sunlight millions of this,
the greatest enemy to the cotton plant.
The Yaldosta Times of the 7th, says:
Various reports have been in circula
tion relative to the advent of tbe Cotton
Caterpillar, but we are informed by a
prominent farmer in Lowndes that, in
his opinion, it has grown wholly out of
the fact that numerous grass caterpillars
were in the country, and that they would
eal the cotton when a stalk could be
found lying on the ground from a severe
wind or other cause; that the grass cat
erpillar would eat it only under those
circumstances; tbe difference between
the two varieties being, that the one
would eat both the grass and cotton, and
the other would eat only the cotton. Be
it as it may, this is known, that there is
the heaviest cotton crop in Lowndes on
record, and it is too late now for the
caterpillar to do harm should they come
shortly.
Speaking of the caterpillar, the Alba
ny CerUral City of the 7th says :
That this destructive enemy to the
farmer has made its appearance in South
western Georgia, is an established fact.
Its ravages have not yet reached any
magnitude, but it has been seen in many
plantations of Dougherty county, east
and west of Flint river. Large numbers
are reported from Oaky Woods. The
present rainy weather will multiply their
numbers rapidly. We have been in
formed that cotton in certain localities
has become too old to be injured to any
extent by them. Our reporter east of
Albany writes: “We have made close in
quiry as to the prevalence of the cater
pillar on the east side of the river, but,
as yet, hear only of the grass worm,
which does not injure cotton.” But we
have seen parties from the east side of
the river who positively aver that they
have seen the caterpillars in the cotton.
The Albany News of the 9th says:
Since onr last we have been reliably
informed that the ravenous enemy (the
caterpillar) has made its appearance en
masse on several plantations in this coun
ty. Col. Lockett thinks he could easily
gather a wagon load on one of his places,
and entertains much uneasiness in regard
to the matter. Crops all look well, but
what is to be done with this nuisance, is
the perplexing question.
A Letter to “Shifty” Bel
Strange Cage of Hydrophobia.
A gentleman of onr acquaintance
vouches for the following story: “About
thirty years since there resided in the
lower portion of this State a colored
family, consisting of a mother and six
children. They were all bitten by a
rabid dog, three of the children dying
with hydrophobia, the others recovering.
The subject of this notice was at the
time of flie accident about ten years of
age, a healthy, well-developed girl. Her
side and arm were badly lacerated, and
the wounds were slow in healing. No
sooner, however, had the parts healed,
than she was seized with periodic par-
oxyms of catalepsy, which paroxyms
lasted from half to one hour’s duration.
These spells seized her about twice a
month, and were ushered in by no pre
monitions of an attack, and whenever
she was she would fall to the ground,
doable herself up like a hoop, tbe limbs
become stiff and rigid, and for twenty
minutes would bark like a dog. She. so
closely mimics this animal that it is im
possible for a stranger who hears her to
distinguish her bark from that of a dog.
She has had these spells regularly up to
the present time. She is one of the most
humble and inoffensive women, showing
no disposition to injure any one during
or in the absence of these Bpells. She
has been a married woman, and has sev
eral children and grandchildren. She
has been a resident of tbis city for a
number of years, and at present is with
a. family residing on Portland avenue.—

My Rear Shifty Ben: TJnderstandin’ as
how you wus goin’ to rite a wurk on lojik,
I dirapped everything and went rite over
to see Higgisbottum whoo’e a sorter lit
terary karicter and pullitikal rimester
amungst us, and axed him if it wus troo.
He replied in bis hifnrlutin stile as usual
that it afforded him untold gratyfikashun
to announs that mister Hill Had gone
into the wurled of letters, as he didunt
think be wus fitten fur this wurid.
"What doo you reckin’ he meut, Ben,
by sayin’ you wassent fitten fur this
world? He must hav ment you wus too
good I eposes, and upon reflekshun I’m
inclind to believe too you orter be taken
up in a chariot of fire az a juBt tribute
too yore undiying patryotism, and self-
sakrifisin dispozishun in the last fore
months. But that’s nether hear nor
tliar.
Higginbottum give me sum advans
slieate of your lojik kalled the majority
report on the State Rode leece. I con-
fes I like it mitily Ben. Troo its ratber
theoretykle and sumtimes a leetle obs-
kewer, but then it ansers my purpus so
mutch the better. Jes put my name
down fur 2 coppiz and obleege. I thort
it would be rite poplar with a surtin
klas, as Iheerd that Joe Brown wanted
akopy, and Higginbotum sed a man
named Dellyno and one name Kamme-
ron wanted a Copy too. I dont know
who they are, furryner3, I expekt, out
then that goes to prove that the work
takes abrawd. I guess you know em
both, as I lurn you Have a extensive fur-
rin acqunintaius. Higginbothum sez
you kno Bullock and Blodgett and Faty
Haris and Twede, and yu stuck to urn
closern a brother; but I told him, I gess
they’d dun you a favor mabe, and he
awtent too condemn you for that. That
seemed to convinc him instantur, fur,
sed he, “yes, I kno sum uv urn dun him
sum huge favors, but he was too modest
to tell it.” Now, Ben, I thawt tnat was
a grashus compliment, cummin az it did
frum a man who luved* Jorge Washing-
tun mor’n he did you.
I told Higginbotum I liked your lojik.
He axed me whi. I told him that the
durned lojik that people had adopted
hurtofour wouldent allow a man sufficient
skope for argyment. The way the deused
thing wus fixed up a man had to cum to
but wun konkluzhun every time, wheth
er the knokluzbun was agreabul or disa-
greabul, wharas your sistum giv a man a
brawd feeld for argyment, and alloud
him to arrive at that konkluzhun which
was most advantajus to nis individjual
intrusts. “Fur instuns,” sed I,, “here is
a sylly gisum illustratin Mistur Hill’s
new system:
“All men lnv to make munny;
Ben HiU is a man,”
Thurfore Hen Bill lavs to make mnnny.
Higginbottum sed that was as troo a
silly gism az ever waz uttered, as if that
wuz the kee note to the wurk he endorst
iu most enfatikally. I told him it even
so. Am I rite, Ben ? I don’t like to
misrepryzent a man, speshully when I’m
tryin to defend him.
Thar is a nuther featyur of yore lojik
Hike, Ben, rind that is yore considerashun
of number 1. All thee other lojicks,
darn um, seme to be subsidized, monop
olized, and tiranized over by trooth.
Now, I’ve been wantin’ fur a long time,
a lojick what would allow me untramiled
to reetch a konkluzion az wood awlways
take cair of number 1. Fur exzampul,
you verry aptly illustrate yore kummin’
work by raference to tbe State rode leece,
in which I infur you have no intrust ex
cept az purtanes to the glory uv our no
ble old State, (whitch, by the way, goze
to illustrate your patryotism.) Higgin
bottum agreez with me beer, and az he
kin express it more illegantly, Iyuse bis
thoughts. Sez he : Mistur Hill basis hiz
argyment in relerence to the State rode
leece on this sillygism :
“When a citizen makes munay he
thereby advanses the prosperity of hiz
State.
I, Ben Hill, am makin munny.
Thairfore, the leece is fair and just,
and I don’t cair a kontinental kuss fur
any better argyment than that.”
Speekin’ of the leece, Ben, I paws to
remark that yu’re a little faseshus in yore
furst paragraf, and here I must quote
Higginbottum agin. Higginbottum said
he heerd wuns that anuther man had
called him a liar, whairupon he went to
uther man and axed an explanashun,
when the uther man sed Higginbottum
wuz no liar, but it Hurt him (the uther
man) mighty bad fur him (Higginbot
tum) to say he wuz a tHeef, and he jist
kauled him a liar aksidentally. I hope,
Ben,the committy didn’t hurt you mutch.
I woodn’t notice it; its bekumin so fash-
unable now a daze to be kauled a theef,
you awt to feel komplymented. Jes re-
membur what a fine reputashun Blodget
made, and Higginbottum sez whatever
you do now you can’t chaiuge publik
opinyun in regard to you. I rekin,
Ben, he had referrence to your val-
yant efforts recently made in fitin
Radikalizm, espeshully your manly kon-
test at the banquet at the Kimbal Houce
about the time of the leece, when you put
coles of fire on thair heds and skortched
them with tart repartee by tellin’ en.
you wood shake bans across the bluddy
chassum, provided there wuz enny mun
ny od the other side.
Continuin’ on a about the leece, Ben,
I’d like to ax a fue questions, not that I
am not satisfide myself, but that my na-
bor s are a little jubous about the sinseri-
ty ov your profeshuns. Sum uv em air
mity honest, Ben, and when they beer a
tail they want it strait, unsirkumvented
and unobskewred by law which they sus-
pekt may be purverted and inturpxeted
to meen too things by a smart man like
you.
Then wood you mind tellin’ me Ben,
why you air so oneasy about the leece.
Higginbottum sez you remind him of a
gang of croze what inhabits his planta-
shun (may be you’ll perseeve the perpri-
ety or the simUy as I heer you had a farm
wunce in South Jorgy you kalled “Luis
Tumblin.”) Well Higginbottum sez
there is a gang of croze on his planta-
shun, whitch, when in a old feeld hunt
in’ warms, is no more afrayd uv a stick
pinted at em than if it waz nuthin, but
when they git in hiz young com, pnllin
it up, ef he pints a stick at em then,
they all jumps up haf skeered to doth
criin “Kaw,” “Kawl” Higginbottum
sez he’s afraid you’re pullin up com,
sens you jumped so quick. How is this
Ben?
Agin, Ben, how did it happen that
Jack White so suddenly kumulated so
mutch bizness that he koodn’t' give his
persuuel atenshun to hiz shair iu the
leece? Higginbottum sez he heerd a
man say Jack didunt like the surroun-
dins; thair was a stink sum whair about,
ana learin’ he’d take the collera and Bul
lock fever, or sum sich diseze. he “de
parted from those koasts prematurely’,
as Bill Arp elloquently remarks in his
history of Robinson Kruso.
Further, BeD, would you mind sendin
me wun of those receeta which stands az
vouchers fur them $80,000 spent so ben-
effysently ? I thawt maybe the lessees
seein what a big prize they wuz a gittin
from the State, suddently becum chary-
table, and distributed a SlOO.OOOor so to
indygent widursand orphants, as a meens
of giv.n vent to thar patryotism, but
strange to say I kanfc beat this into Hig-
ginbottum’s hed, and I want your wurd
and one uv the receets to satisfy him. Jo
Brown is yore book-keeper, I believe. Jist
ax him fur a ione uv a fu uv those ak-
kounts fur the yuse uv a frend. Higgin
bottum thinks they air burnt, but I don’t
think Jo Brown is a man to hide hiz lito
under a bushel; so ef it wuz a peece uv
charity doubtless he kan show the evy-
deus.
Now, Ben, I must close, hopin to heer
from you sune, I hav a 1,000 questyiuns
to ax you, but knowin how you are en
gaged, da an nite, in protecktin the Stait
frum munned rings, I forbair and allow
you to go on in the nobul work.
Yours ankshusly,
Big John.
P. S.—By the bye, when you get a
plaice in Greeley’s kabynet, I’d like fur
you to git a appintment fur mi sun to the
Feje Islands as misshunnery, and every
time you air yourself a candidate fur etn-
bassydur to the Kannibals, considet me
an umble but enthusyastik suporter.

Coppersmith and Gas-fitting Establishment.—
Messrs. Middleton & Bro., Coppersmiths and Gas-
fitters, have recently newly established themselves
in a commodious room on East Broad street, where
they are thoroughly prepared with air furnaces,
copper-forge, gas-fixtures, and all articles and imple
ments necessary to a complete establishment for
manufacturers in brass and copper, repairs in the
same. They are further supplied with all hinds of
gas-fixtures, and are read to accept any orders for
furnishiDg houses with the same. See their adver
tisement.
Huge Cotton Stalk.—We were shown at the of
fice of Mr. C. H. Strong, Cotton Merchant, 47
Broad street, a cotton stalk meas'iring six feet six
inches, and having nineteen limbs, which was grown
by Hon. Geo. H.' Jones, of Gwinnett county, near
Norcross This is one of the finest specimens of
the growing crop that has come to our knowledge
It was well filled with bolls blooms, and squares.
This stalk was presented to Dr. J. D. Turner, Cotton
Ware-House Merchant.
Washington, Aug. 12.—Sumner has gone North.
Our planet, is declared to be out of the meteoric
belt, by astronomers at the Government Observato
ries. No more displays need be expected until the
13th of November.
Orders have been issued from the war department
prescribing regulations for continuing the work of
the Freedman’p Bureau, under the direction of the
Adju'aut General of the Army, in pursuance of the
act of Congress abolishing that bureau.
A chief disbursing officer will be established in
the Adjutant General’s office, at Washington, with
distuvsing offices at Louisville, St. Louis, Nashville,
Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez and New Oileans.
Payments to claimants in Delaware, Mary,
land and Virginia, will be made through
the Washington office; in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and States
wherein slavery did not exist, by officers who will
be temporarily assigned to that duty and in all other
States through the disbursing officers hereinbefore
enumerated. The order prescribes, at some
length, the duties and powers of attorneys, in col
lecting the claims, and states that advances, as
loans by attorneys, will not be recognized.
Detective Whitely who, under the instruc
tion of the Attorney General, visited the alleged Ku-
Klux prisoners at Albany, has made an elaborate re
port. The Attorney General will confer with the
President on the subject as soon as the latter re
turns to Washington.
State of tlie Market.
Cotton the same. Business very light. Corn has
declined somewhat. Meats still advance. The pro
duce trade has been unusually thriving for this sea
son. Dry goods prices are unchanged, with a down
ward tendency in cotton fabrics. Business rather
dull. Carpet trade still active. There is a large de
mand for House Furnishing. Rome Stoves in good
demand. Hardware firm at quotations with apros-
pect of growiug higher.
Nothing remarkable in any other branch of trade.

What we Need ’When. Debilitated.
Appetite and digestion languish at this season.—
At the very time when the body most needs reno
vation and support, the stomach, its commissariat
department, is apt to prove delinquent. Under
such circumstances the necessity for a wholesome
stimulant, tonic and corrective is self-evident, and
consequently the demand for that peerless combi
nation of the three required elements, Hostetter’s
Stomach Ritters, is never more urgent than at mid
summer.
It is true that a few mqdical bigots—fossils “left
over” from the dark pges—recommend violent
purgation and water gruel as a cure for indigestion
and its accompanying ills; but they make few prose
lytes. The majority of the community are sane,
and all sane people are aware that a pure and pow
erful vegeta ble tonic with alterative properties, like
Hostetter’s Bitters, is the only cure for dyspepsis,
biliousness, constipation, nervousness and tbe
“consequential damages” they inflict.
The human intellect, unless hopelessly diseased
or egregionsly humbugged, declines to astonish the
weakened human stomach with fiercer cathartics
that rushing like an avalanche through the intes
tines, threaten to take tho inner membrane with
them. To use a significant catch-phrase the knock-
down-and-drag-ont methods of treatment aro “play
ed out"
It is clearly understood that a medicated stima-
lant is essential to the renovation of an exhausted
frame and that you cannot strengthen man cr
woman by dosing them witn prostrating prepara
tions. This is an era of common sense, and com
mon sense approves of Hostetter’’ Bitters as ths
best article extant lor invigorating, regulating and
purifying tnb system ana defending it againstpoiaon
in the air we breathe, or the water we drink.
