Wn hi iglon City ( o T( Spondcnce.
Ccrije.spondence of The Georgian.
Washington, D. C , Nov. 25, 1875,
I will tell you in this short article of the
1 eautiful valley lying between the Allegha
ny and Blue Ridge mountains, through
which we passed a few days ago. It is
likely familiar to some of your readers, but
to many it will be new, and a source of
pleasure, as it was to me.
The descent of the first-named mountain
is more than three miles, as the conductor
told me —so steep that steam was not used,
the speed of the cars being only retarded
by the ai -brake-, that do their work in a
wonderful way. When we neared the >oti
tom, a most beautiful panorama spread out
before us The Etowah valley below Field’s
bridge is very similar, on a small scale.
The Roanoke river has its rise at the head
of the valley, and seems to be a bold stream
at the beginning. The farming is admir
able. The neatest hay-stacks I ever be
held, and hundreds of acres of the finest
corn stacked in lhe fields. The freshly
plowed soil made almost alternate checks
with older fields, and, in the fading light of
evening, the scene resembled an old paint
ing, rich in beauty and harmonious color
ing.
On we sped, our eyes lingering with de
light upon the lofty mountains that encir
cled the far side of the valley. White
cloudlets floated about their summits, and
resembled fleecy vails, resting lightly upon
the dark gr< on cedars that grow luxuriantly 1
upon the mountain sides. Fat cows, fine j
horses, and large flocks of sheep, were often I
seen upon the route —evidences of better j
farming than we sec in Georgia.
As we dashed along. I saw one or two j
things that betokened cither similar tastes 1
or the übiquitous character of patent modi- (
cine agents. Long lines of planking were
covered with “Tutt’s Liver Pills,” “Creole
Hair Dye,” etc.
Just as the darkness settled upon us, we
reached the hotel on the summit of the
Blue Ridge, where, we understand, visitors
find most delightful fare and splendid ac
commodations during the whole year. A
wonderful health-giving land is this high
mountainous location, and the scenery is
unsurpassed.
Down again we go —the brakes toiling at
their task until we hear, at last, the puffing
locomotive, which has again taken up its
work. We speed on in the darkness—a
huge freight ot human Ide, ai the mercy of
the monster engine that dashes madly
along, around precipices and over gorges,
until, lulled by the gentle motion of our j
s’eeping-car, 1 sank into a profound nap,
only arou-ed by the cry of “Lynchburg”
from the conductor. ;
There we were gently lifted —car, pa-sen
gers, and all—from the Chicks that rolled us
from Georgia, and quietly placed on other
trucks that carried the train forward unto
its fit.al destination. We had splendid ac
commodations on our sleeping-car. The
fiioj-t attentive porter I ever saw, and the'
very nicest, cleanest berths you could wish. .
1 c< uld but compare the present traveling
facilities with twenty or more years ago—
wi h its jolting tracks, hard seats, and lie
qu< nt changes that marked that period. ;
Just, as we wi re passing the Potomac, on 1
the Long bridge, the murky clouds lifted
themselves, and I caught a glimpse of the
Capitol dojpe, and in a few minutes we
rolled into the city, and found ourselves in
lhe throng that pu lies itself iulo Washing
ton at that early hour.
With kindest wishes and loving memories
of dear Cherokee and her noble citizens, I
bid y u adieu. Occasional. i
Communicated.
Messrs. Editors: I sec in the last issue
of your excellent paper that one of the
proprietors does not live in Canton. I see
no necessity for the announcement, unless
it was for lhe purpose of telling the people,
In his own excellent language, that he “is a
ground scratcher.” I had the pleasure of
passing through his farm, seven miles from
Canton, anil it is a good one indeed ; but !
there is one thing about it that I do not un
derstand. His cotton-fidd is almost cov
ered with cotton —not on the stalks, but on ,
the ground. I want my friend Brewster to i
tell us what he put it there for. Was it be
cause of the wait, or is it a new specimen (
of cotton, planted in the tall, which nquin s
the lint to be thrown over the seed to keep
them warm? Will this be a bard winter?
VIDI.
We are at some loss to know w hat im
pression the writer of the above wishes to
make. We don’t see the point. For our
se'f we remark, that our saving in last
week’s paper that we did not live in Can
ton, but on a farm seven miles away, was
for the information of some of our triends i
abroad, who, when they wish to call on us
at home, may know where to find us.
That was all. If any one, however, wishes
to attach any significance to the little state
ment, they are at liberty to do so. As re
gards our cotton, our friend, when he passed
it, must have been laboring under some
kind of mental hallucination, and thought
he saw sights that did not exist; for we
can prove by a dozen witnesses that ai no
time during the season could there be found
ten pounds of cotton on the ground in the
whole crop on the farm, including our own
and that of several tenants.

A serious difficulty occurred in Salac< a

Little Jimmie Steele, near Cherokee
■ Mills, owns a jennet which he rides and
| works to a little wagon. The jennet threw
Jimmie, the other day, and he says he is in
1 constant dread of her running away with
his wagon, and causing great damage.
: Jimmie is a smart little boy, and, though
'•bnt nine years old, he loves to read his
Bible, and anxiously awaits the weekly vis
i’s of The Georgian, in which he always
finds much to amuse and interest him. We
hope he will soon make money enough to
enable him to swap hiij jennet, for a nice
pony by giving s line boot. A pony would
not be so stubborn and hard to manage.
A prospective millionaire objects to The
Georgian because he says it is too small.
AVell, when we get rich, we will make it
larger: but we defy our friend to obtain for
three cents as much reading matter any

The Georgian.
i The revenue officers have recently been
giving some of our friends in the upper
portion of the county some trouble. Many
! think the whole thing is a rete-nuuance.
John McCol'um has been around again,
lie says times are mighty hard, away up in
“Cass,” and that sorghum is a dollar and a

The wheat crop is looking unusually

and strong.
A friend of ours says the best way to
f< ed a horse is to give him corn in the
shuck. He says in this way he will eat it

j We hear many expressing a deV-rmina
tion not to make any more store accounts,
and to do without everything fur which
they can not pay the cash or baiter. This
is sensible, and the only sure way to pros
perity and independence. Debt and slavc
i ry mean lhe same thing ; and the inan who
voluntarily puts his head into the halter
must exptct to be led at the mercy of oth
i era. Keep out of debt ; keep in a good
humor; keep out of the power ot selfish
men ; keep in the path of honest duty;
keep corn in your crib, meat in your smoke
house, your money in yeur pocket, smile at
‘‘hard times,” and help those who can not
help themselves.

St. Clair Abrams nl’qukrs'iy. A
JiavlgiHion of the Etswah.
On the 4'h of July, 1833, the nation’s nn
tai day was appropriately cel- braird ai
Cherokee C. 11., now the site of Canton, by
a large number of patriotic citizens. There
were spec- lies and songs, followed by a
big barb'-qiio, and a hearty conviviality
which those old-time people knew so well
how to appreciate. Among the toasts of
fered and drank on that occasion was this:
The Etowah river; The dav is not far
-listant wlr>n its snrf.ee will be ns rich with
floating comm.-rce as its channel is with
orecioiu metals. [Received with three
•heers.]
The railroad had not yet pciv'trafed the
"rritory of Georgia, though it had j-ist ir
ived at the Savannah river opposite An
gusta ; the Cherokee country was a wil
derness, scoured by Indians, and filled with
wild beasts, and containing only here and
there, in little clearings « few white set
tiers; and yet, to those pioneers, the dav
was not far distant when the Etowah
would be richly laden with commerce!
Fony-lwo years have whirled around since
then, and that predicted day has not yet
arrived. Why ? Because the public spirit
which animated the pioneers, though trins
mi ted to their posterity, has gone to sleep.
IJLJB34 a convention was held in the
then little village of Rome, to inaugur
ate measures by which the Coosa and its
tributaries could be mule r avigable. Dr
John Brewster, who had just become a
resident of the county, was the d-legate
from Cherokee. The convention, after
some delib- ration, came to the conclusion
that the Coosa, nt least, should be opened
at the earliest opportunity, and a commit-
which Dr. Brewster and Col. John
P. Brooke were members, was a, pointed
to memorialize Congress upon the subject-
The result of this effort was the survey of
the Coosa river; but, owing to political
causes, nothing farther was then accom
plished.
Our readers have been informrd of what
hat been done since the war in this direc
tion : how one steamboat company was or
ganized to navigate the Coosa, and another
to navigate the Etowah river; how the
latter remained inactive, while the former
went so work, built a steamboat, and dem
onstrated the importance of the enterprise;
bow the people became aware of their in
terest in the matter, how they memorial
ized Congress, and, through their Repre
sentative, secured an appropriation which
fulfilled their wishes. But the Etowah is
yet a virgin stream, impenetrated and im
penetrable by the fructifying agencies of
Commerce, simply because the public
spirit of those directly interested has been
allowed to slumber.
- A half centniy ago, the great advantage
of water communication was keenly felt;
to-day that advantage is a hundred times
greater, because the red man and the wil
derness have been swept away, and broad,
fruitful fields and populous towns have
their places. To be sure, we have
railroads within easy distance of us now,
of which our predecessors were debarred
the enjoyment; and the locomotive will
erelong traverse this section with its bur
den of freight and passengers; but these
facts only heighten the advantages which
would accrue from river navigation; for
Commerce, like a mother’s heart, expands
with each succeeding object of fostering
care.
Now, the opportunity is still open to
the citivxms of this county and others livs
ingin the neighborhood of the Etowah, to
make the river navigable, and cause it to
be navigated, by simply manifesting the
proper spirit—which means that, if they
will organize meetings along the course of
the river, set forth the advantages of the
scheme, and furnish their Representatives
in Congress w ith the necessary data, suc
cess is assured. In this district, the scheme
has an ardent supporter in Dr. Felton, who
will do all in bis power, if properly armed
by his constituents, to secure an appropri
ation from Congress. Every citizen of
Cherokee county, who owns property or is
engaged in business, is vitally intererted in
this matter.
CALI- FOR A MEETING.
We, the undersigned citizens of Cherokee
county, Georgia, fully convinced of the fea
sibility of opening the Etowah river for
navigation to Canton, and believing that
the opening of the river would be of incal
culable advantage to this entire region of
country, hereby join in a call for a public
meeting to be he’d in Canton on S.iturd ty,
December 11, to take such steps as may then
seem best for the purp-ise of bringing the
subject prominently before Congress at its
present session.
