THE OGLETHORPE ECHO
PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY
THOS. L. GANTT\ Editor and Propr'or
Crawford, Ga., - - August 20,1875
Tlie Voice of Roa^ou.
A great deal has been written and said,
during the past two years, about “ shak
ing hands across the bloody chasm.”
Orators North and South have dwelt
with unction on the chimerical proba
bility. Newspapers, in articles remark
able more for vapid sentimentalities than
for aught else, have predicted and sigh
ed for it, and even the silent Grant
gave utterance to the cabilistic words,
“Let us have peace.”
Until the present year set in, but little
headway had been made. The bitterness
of years cannot be forgotton in a day,
and the rabid men of both sections threw
every variety of obstacle in the way of
reconciliation. But, at the centennial of
the battle of Lexington, Gen. Bartlett,
a gallant soldier who had fought for the
Union, uttered sentiments that touched
a responsive chord in the bosom of every
brave man in the United States. This
was the beginning of the era of good
feeling, and at Augusta, a few days after
the speech at Lexington, Gen. Evan/,
another gallant soldier, but who had
fought for the cause that has been so of
ten called lost, spoke in a kindred strain.
Asa fruit of these two speeches from
men who may be regarded as representa
tives of the two sections, the graves of
the soldiers of both armies were decorated
in various cemeteries all over the coun
try.
Again, at the centennial of Bunker
Hill, volunteer companies in attendance
from Charleston and Norfolk were the
honored geests of the occasion. No pains
were spared by the hospitable citizens
and soldiery of Boston to make the
Southerners feel that the differences of
the past were forgotton. Of course, there
were men North and South who ridiculed
the movement looking to reconciliation,
and others whose venom burst out in
language fierce and vindiction. These
were men, however, who, when brave
men were getting rid of their malice,
cherished a feeling of animosity until a
time when paper bullets should come in
vogue. Men whose courage had been at
zero when there was a chance to gratify
it, and which had mounted to fever heat
after the smoke of battle had died away.
As another step towards fraternization,
the Agricultural-Society of Winnebago
county, Illinois, invited Mr. Davis to
deliver the annual address at their Fair,to
be held in Rockford, on the 14th of Sep
tember next. This invitation was accept
ed by Mr. Davis, and, as his letter of
acceptance was published, it excited
various comments from the Radical press
of the North and West.
The Chicago Tribune, a Republican
paper usually regarded as extreme, in its
comments on the action of the committee
inviting Mr. Davis and the probable
results of Iris presence, speaks in a calm,
though somewhat supercilious way, and
in language every word of which is an
insult against the good sense and good
taste of a man never found lacking in
cither; administers some advice as to the
manner in which Mr. Davis should
speak, and on which subjects—a discreet
silence should be maintained by the
orator.
It remains, however, for the Chicago
Inter- Ocean to place itself on record in
ail article which ought to go down to
posterity as the very essence of hatred,
bad taste and a lack of the knowledge of
the laws governing hospitality, such as
even the veriest savages would disdain
to own. To place this article from a pa
per that has prospered by constant ap
peals to tlie worst instincts of fellow hu
manity, in its strongest light, the circum
stances attending the acceptance of Mr.
Davis must betaken into consideration.
After an invitation twice repeated by the
Secretary of this Agricultural Society,
Mr. Davis accepts in a letter, which,
for good taste, cannot be equaled. It
would seem that if the citizens of Rock
ford had desired the advice of the Inter-
Ocean or had imagined that said paper
was in the most remote way concerned
as to who they invited to speak before
them, their course would have been
clear—to consult that august journal,
hnd, after its pleasure had been made
known, bow humbly to its behests.
The article, as it appeared in the col
umns of the Inter-Ocean, is a direct in
sult to the Society inviting Mr. Davis,
as well as to that gentleman himself. A
newspaper is traveling very far out of
its province when it offers a gratuitous
insult to the invited guest of a body of
men, over which it has no control. Of
the animus of the article it is useless to
speak. The same old story is told over,
the same war cry is raised—treason and
rebellion. The spirits of the dead who
fell and who sleep in the cemeteries that
dot the whole country are invoked, and
pathetic, though commonplace reference
is made to the widows and orphans who
mourn husbands and fathers slain.
We of the South, too, have our widows
and orphans, who mourn the death of
loved ones and the desolation of homes,
once, happy, by vandal foes. Their cup
of sorrow lias been indeed a bitter one.
Home, property and friends gone—de
graded below the level of their former
slaves—reviled—taunted with all the
crimes that can disgrace humanity—
robbed—persecuted—kept down by the
mailed hand of tyranny. And all be
cause they dared to maintain the princi
ples fought for by cur forefathers.
This article will set a seal of infamy on
the journal publishing it that will out
last the men now urging it on. As the
exponent of ultra Radical principles, it
reaqjies the acme of human hate, and can
not fail to excite, even in the minds of
Northern men, a feeling of abhorence
and disgust that will do the party it seeks
to aid infinitely more harm than could
all the utterances of Mr. Davis.

On Saturday last, Mr. W. and Miss S.,
young and handsome, left Auburn for
Opelika to become man and wife. They
had no parental sanction, but love laughs
at that when a railroad is near. Arrived
at their destination, the gentleman soon
procured a license and minister, when
the ceremony began. It had gottou as
far as the joining hands, and the words
making them one were almost announced,
when the fair one peremptorily backed
out, and no persuasion could induce her
to go further. The pair returned to Au
burn unmarried. A wise thought prob
ably influenced the maiden.

Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
My observations on a little trip
through some of the upper counties, and
visit to Nacoochee Valley and the Falls,
offer topics to which, if I can do justice,
will help to form a variety of reading
matter for your excellent paper^
Crops on the road from Athewr to Jef
ferson are very fine for the land, showing
evidences of good season and rapid cul
ture. Leaving the ridge road four or
five miles to the left, we found the land
as good, and crops as flourishing, in Jack
son county, as we have seen in any other
county. Passing the capitol of Jackson,
we found improvements “up to the
times,” and everything built on “Jeffer
sonian principles.”
Owing to a protracted drought and
thin land, crops from Jefferson toGains
ville were the poorest we had seen up to
date.
In Gainesville, civilization, art and
science, hand in hand, seem to be mak
ing good speed toward perfection. Her
new educational buildings are good ; the
new business houses are substantial ; a
splendid hotel is being rapidly finished
to completion, and another long track
for street cars will be finished in a few
days,besidesotlier buildings and improve
ments too numerous to mention. The
whole place presents a vigorous, healthy
and flourishing appearance, and chick
ens, turkeys and pigs are nuw being fat
tened to sacrifice in honor of the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars, which is to
meet there in September next. May the
incense rising from her altar curl high
as Heaven, and bring down showers of
blessings upon the good people of Gaines
ville.
We found New Holland Springs “ up
to time,” with plenty of room, “ good
eatings” and about 75 or more boarders.
We did not visit the Sulphur Spring,
but heard that it had as many boarders
as New Holland, and gave as “good fare
as any hotel.”
Within one year’s time since the pas
sage of the railroad, the value of the
taxable property of Hall county has in
creased one hundred per cent.
From Gainesville, crops are very poor
to within 12 miles of Nacoochee, where
may be seen several fields of good cotton
and good corn. From this point the
natural scenery becomes more beautiful
and interesting, as if to prepare tlie eye
for tlie peerless beauties of the valley.
Mount Yonah presents a view grand
and picturesque ; its rocky peak rising
highest in its range, makes a beautiful
contrast between it and the vale of beau
ty which lies only four miles distant. In
the vicinity of this mount, the hearty
mountaineer lives in almost primitive
simplicity. If contentment is happiness,
his is paradise, in sweet seclusion. He
lives free from the pains and cares which
throng around the busy scenes of life
Here mad ambition ceases its rage, and
the frivolous, unreflecting train of fash
ion is lost amid the handiwork of Na
ture’s God. Tlie other sex is indepen
dent of deceit and art, and the fashion
predominating among us was only seen
upon an old mule, so tightly tied back
chat he couldn’t sit down. This poor
old mule strayed from Mississippi in that
fix, in quest of healthy provender.
We speut the night in this vicinity,
Mr. Editor, and were I not strictly bound
to secrecy by my companion, I would
give some of the details ; but the next
time one of the “ ridge bullys” meets
us at the gate eating a raw union, with
his pockets full of the same odoriferous
vegetable, and answers, “ Wal, ef yer
ken put up wid der far youns ken stay!”
we two will drive on to the next house.
I had rather have a little less primitive
simplicity, contentment and happiness,
and a little more of the predominating
fashion, with better fare.
Early next morning we drove into Na
coochee Valley. The beauties and wealth
of this place has been so extolled that
only a few words from me will suffice. It
seems that the mountains of North Geor
gia, in one honest effort to make an
Eden, drained all of its wealth in one
central point, and wrought this “ vale of
beauty,” and hovering around it, protects
it, to a great extent, from the chilling
blast of winter, and,watching with pride,
as the rosy warmth and gentle dews of
balmy spring calls forth sweetest flowers,
clad in beauty, to decorate its graceful
slopes and broad, extended plains. That
this place was once a paradise to the
Red Man and even the mound-builders,
is indisputable, for here the Aborigines
left their greatest signs—two of the larg
est mounds yet discovered rises from
central points, and around its edges
may be seen numberless graves and relics
of all kinds. From these graves have
been extracted weapons made of a species
of copper that is only found near Lake
Ontario, and conch shells from the sea
coast. In one was found the skeleton of a
giant about 8 feet long. It appears that
the Indians once thronged here from the
four winds, and, unmolested by hostile
invaders, would smoke their pipe of
peace and worship their Great Spirit
“under their own vine and fig tree;”
and in the decline of life would linger
around the eternal walls of this sacred
spot, waiting to he called to the Great
Hunting Ground —their land of rest —and
deemed it an honor to enjoy in the bosom
of Xacoochee that repose which to them
in this world was seldom given.
Now, alas ! how changed are the scenes
of other days. Captain Nichols, the au
thor of our knowledge of the Aborigi
nes in this section, now lives in a ‘“pal
ace home,” on one side of the valley,
with a fine summer house erected on the
most prominent mound, which stands
directly in front of his house. At one
gaze the eye may see an ocean of corn,
waving gently to the valley breeze, and
one of the wildest mountain streams is
now trained to propel the millstone,
thrasher and and furnish water to
the house, lot and fish-pond on Captain
Nichols’ place. There are other magnifi
cent improvements going on in the
valley. G. W. Williams, of Charleston,
will soon have completed a splendid resi
dence.
The next day we arrived at Tallulah
Falls ; found a splendidly kept hotel,
greatly crowded by the most fashionable
visitors of our State. Nearly all of your
readers have either been to the Falls of
Tallulah, or have a good geographical
knowledge of them from various writers,
therefore I will just give my views in few
words. To say these Falls are grand,
then comparing them to other objects to
which this adjective has ever been ap
plicable, is naught to its description.
While we stand upon its rocky cliffs, and
gaze upon the caverns and excavations of
frowning walls, that has been standing
as changeless as time against the pelting
storms of Heavens, and hear the thun
derings of those same Falls that, in prim
itive days, hushed the howl of the hungry
wolf and the shriek of the fierce eagle ;
then drowned the war-whoop of the sav
age chief, and the rifle crack of the hearty
mountaineer, and is now defying the
keen whistle of the steam engine, and
refuses to be tamed for domestic uses.
While we gaze upon its peerless beauties,
defying the pencil of the artist and the
resistance of man, the imagination fills
with amazement, and strives in vain to
express the sublimities of its thoughts.
Toccoa means beautiful. Arriving
next at these Falls, we were particularly
struck with the appropriateness of the
name. This limpid stream quietly ap
proaches the abyss, nor stops, nor re
flects, but, like a “ lake long pent up
amid the mountains,” leaps forth in hap
py freedom, spreading into a spray, falls
lightly into the cyrstal pool below ; then
bounding over the pebbles with merry
laughter, joining the chorus of Tenyson’s
Brook—
“ I chatter, chatter as I flow,
To meet the flowing river.
Man may come and man may go
But I go on forever.”
We visited Toccoa City, where “ they
say” that, “ within one year’s time from
the location of the depot there, had been
built twenty-five public bouses.” With
the exception of one that was moved one
mile from the place, there is not an old
house in the town. The rapid growth
and improvements of this “ infant city”
is worthy of note. They expect to make
it a “ wholesale cotton market.” May
they succeed.
Having now to leave the last of the
friends and acquaintances to whicli we
formed strong attachments on our trip,
w T ill close my communication, and give
myself a victim to “the blues.”
Yours, etc. Handsel.
The election returns from North Car
olina show that GO Democrats, 2 Inde
pendent Democrats and 58 Republicans
have been elected as delegates.
