Letter fr(?m Bowdon,
Editor Times : As we suppose
your <-Devil” is anxious to knew how
many deer we have killed Ac., we
avlll write you, for Ins own special
benefit if we fail to interest your read
ers.
Well after leaving yem delightfu]
little town a couple of weeks since
1 _ >
we had indeed quite a pleasant trip
arriving at our home (Wedowee Ala.,)
a little after dark. While at home
we took several hunts. We went out
several miles to the Tallapoosa river
and camped out one night, hunted
during the day, and fished at night,
but wo know the “Devil” will leap
when we tell him we shot at a very
large old Buck about ten paces and—
well we did not get him, that’s enough.
But w r e’ll let him leap until we cap
give him a verbal answer “why we
didn’t kill him?”
We visited the famous ‘‘Pine Tuck ev
Gold Mines” in the upper portion of
Randolph, where we found ex Gov
W. 11. Smith A Cos., at work. Gov.
Smith-stated to us that he thought
they would be amply rewarded for
the capital and labor they are now
spending. They have a fine lot of ma
chinery in operation, pounding mill
Ac. If wc had space, or thought
it would interest your readers, we
would give you a full statement of the
works, prospects etc., but as we fear
it would be uninteresting we will say
no piqrc of it.
. We arrived here, from home, on
Monday evening last, where we ex
pect to remain during the Summer.—■
Bowdon is scarce of news, trade rath
er dull. Crops in this section, we be
lieve arc very good. We had a de
lightful shower of rain this evening,
which the farmers were very much in
need of. As we suppose your corres
pondent at tfiis place, who by the way,
!is much more able than we are,
; keeps you posted on Bowdon affairs,
we will close. Very Respectfully

(Communicated.)
Reply to “R. L. R.”
| Mr. Editor:-I notice in your issue of
the3d inst., over the signatureof ‘II. L.
R.’a communication in which my name
is used quite freely. Why this is so, I
am unable to say. “The series of
Resolutions” referred to by “R. L. R ’
was passed on Monday the 13th April.
I was not present “at the Court
House ” but was absent from the
county at Douglass Court and he knew
it when he penned said article , for he
was present with me there. But to the !
Resolutions While I had nothing to i
do with passing them, they meet mv
hearty approval. Indeed “R. L.
R. docs not object to the resolu
tions, but simply denies or rather
I doubts the truth of the statement of
1 the reduction of the public debt about
$300,003,001, and asks for the “statis-
I tics.” I will give him an extract from
j Secretary Bout wells official Report of
29th Feb., last which he may find in
most of the papers, even in the At.
lanta Constitution, with no denial of
its truth, “ i otal decrease from March
1, 1860 to Fvb- 29th, 1372, $299,649.-
<62,03. The report shows the regular
monthly reduction of the public debt
principal and interest, the above of the
principal--while the interest is reduced
ftbout $20,003,000 per annum. Again
lie objects to the men passing the Res
olutions, assuming that I and Dr. T.
were “ two of the gentlemen” when
he knew at the time that he was sta-
ting what was not true as to myself,
charging them with dishonesty and
want of sincerity, in passing them.
He charges Bullock with committing
ten thousand frauds and villianies and
says that I knew it at the time Ac,
but fails to show by “statistics” ofli.
cial report or otherwise, that his
charge has any foundation, much less
that they were true, and that I knew
it.
Now I wish it distinctly understood
that I am no apologist for Bullock,
but in justice to myself it is necessary
that a few facts, and “statistics”!
should be stated. On May 5, 1870, !
a joint committee of 8 were appoint
ed to investigate, and report on all
charges that could be preferred against
the Governor. This committee consisted
of the follpwing Democratic members?
A I). Kunnally and J, C. Fain of the
Senate, J. E. Shumate and AY. P-
Price of the House Representatives,
with a like number of Republicans. On
May 18 thereafter they organized and
entered upon the investigation. They
examined over 40 witnesses taking their
testimony down which appears on the
journals, and the whole proceedings,
reports Ac., (Senate Journal pages
from 379 to 638.) Dr. Angier appea;*- !
ed as prosecutor and preferred 11 dis
tinct charges against Bullock. The 1
committee divided making separate
reports.
After being in session sixty days,
reporting July 19, 1870. The report
of the Democratic members fails R.
find him (Bullock) guilty of fraud, or
anv other crime on a solitary charge, j
aim closes as follows :
“ We have examined the officers of
botli Atlanta National Bank, and the !
Georgia National Bank, and the ofti- i
cers, of the AY A A. R. R. directly
and thoroughly upon the charge and
find no evidence tending to sustain j
the charge. It is just to say that in '
the instances of transcending the law
herein before described the evidence
fails to show that the Governor has
been pecuniarily benefitted.” This
was very nearly the close of my offi
cial term. The above named gentle
man were then the leading Demo
crats of the Legislature. Did they
know that Bullock was committing
“ten thousand frauds, villanies and
| withheld the knowledge from-the peo
ple ; ” could I have had a better op
portunity of knowing about this mat
ter tlnpu they after an investigation of
two months, under an official oatli
No. Then where is R. L IPs. evidence
official or otherwise to show that Bul
lock was guilty ot any thing wrong
while I had official connection with
him? AY here are his “ statistics.” If
B. did any such thing it was never
known to me. No his defalcations be.
gan after my official term ended, when,
about Jan. 1, 1871, he commenced
pandering to and making terms with
his political enemies. “They loved
the treason but despised the traitor.”
used him till they secured every office
and all the plunder they could for
: about nine months, then “trampled
' his pearls under their feet and vended
him.” I expected nothing better
when he leagued with “ R. L. R. and
his friends than for him to go to thiev
ing and plundering. But he “fled
i like Lot from Sodom.” Ah! was he
then the only just man in the “crew’-
from which he fled ; I leave ‘ R. L. R.’
| tq answer.
j lamat a loss to understand why
1 “ R. L. R.” makes the personal attack,
!on me, he says I was in the Legisla
ture, chairman of the Senate Judiciary
| committee was a great favorite, Ac,,
that I procured positions either on the
State Road or in the Legislature for
my sons, sons-in law cousins Ac.
As “R. L. R. ; proceeds, he groes
warm with his subject, charges me
with receiving $9, and Thomason $lB
per day Ac., charges, us with dishon
esty, “ why did you not tell Bullock
that you were in favor of holding of
ficeis to a strict accountability, Ac.’’
Now in reply to all -this, I refer him
to the Journals of the Senate for the
years mentioned by him and the year
previous, that of 1868, there he may
find ray only official record, and Os
which I am not ashamed. One of
which I am proud, a record which
shows my vote recorded against everv
measure of extravagance of which he
complains. I took $9 per day under a
Democratic law, A-oted on every occa- |
sion when the matter was up, to repeal !
it,but failed. That record further shows
that I did something for my district
and county. I offered a bill which ;
finally became a law, to take Hie State
Road out of the hands of politics
whereby $300,000,000 a year is made
to the Stgte.
Suceedcdto have chartered two great
R. R. lines crossing our county at right
angles both passing through Carroll
t°n xa Rich AA'ill in ail probability
secure another, the Georgia Western
to our place. Again that record shows
t hat 1 voted to rid Carroll of a useless
incumbrance in the person of the said
R. L. R.” But he has suceeded in
imposing “his scandalous self,” upon
us again like the vagabond that mar
ried into a respectable family, and be
ing asked how he happened to do so,
said he owed them a grudge and mar
vied into flro family so disgrace it.
But “ R. L. R.” has been a member
of the Legislature from this county
several times, and also. Has lie
I any record to be proud of? What lias
; he ever done for the people of Carroll? j
i Did he ever get positions for his sons,
i sons in-law, cousins or any, one else of
i his constituents ! Did lie ever refuse
! to draw the pay allowed him by law?
He says (BrotherMerreil,) was a great
favorite. Was he when in the Legisla- !
time? What important committee did
he serve on ? A\ hat important mea
sure did lie introduce or advocate ?
Did he ewer fail to draw six dollars per
day, and mileage ? No. Then I sub
mit the question, was I not better
worth nine than lie was six dollars a
day. Especially if lie failed to bring
any of it home but spent it at drink
ing saloons, gaming and leAvd houses,
and had to draw upon friends for mon
ey to hear his expenses home? He j
says politicians will not tell the truth |
I disagree xvitli him. a true politician is -I
one acquainted with the science of
government and are honest, and faith
ful men, as a rule. Perhaps he meant
partisans, if so I agree with him as to
one partisan.
It Dr. Thomason was present at the
meeting on the 15th ult., and had any
filing to do with the resolutions refer
red to, lam not aware of it. I know,
ac<d so does “D. L. Jl ” know fhgt I
was absent at Douglass Court at the
time, so this can be nothing but a per
sonal assault, upon Dr. T. and myself
AVhat can be his object? Can it be
personal malice ? I think not, I know
no reason for such malice toward me.
Does ho want to run for the Legisla
ture, for Ordinary or for Constable this
fall ? Does he think thlf course ot
abuse, and willful misrepresentation,
; of me, will help him to the office ? He
assumes to know the hearts of the
men who passed the Resolutions, and
| pronounces them dishonest. Now it is
impossible for “R. L R.” to know
\ the “ secret thoughts and intents of
i the hearts ’ of ad the Republicans, in
that meeting, but he may know that
one so called Democrat out side of that
meeting, was dishonest for it is
possible for him to knoAV one man.
Noav if lie did write the article for
tiie purpose ot getting a nomination to
office from the Democratic party in
this county, I greatly overrate the mor
al worth and intelligence ot the men
composing that party if he succeeds.
| For there are two wings to the partv
: in this county. First the honest, indus
trious, intelligent, pcace-loA’ing and
|bw abiding wing. Second The lying,
reckless, Avicked, vulgar, profane,
drunken and thieving wing. Now to
AA’hich “ wing ” does “R. L. R.” be
long and to avhich does he look for
Hip nomination? “Echo answers
which”.
Now Mr. Editor I am done Avith
“R-L. R. I feel like I owe you and
your readers an apology for noticing
fiis gr+icle at all, but after reflection
decided that it might do him good-
The wise man said “answer a fool ac
cording to his folly, lest he become
wise in his own conceit.”

Remarkable Discovery.
During the heavy gnles which pre
\ ailed last fall, the tide, on one occa
sion, was driven so low in the North
River that a remarkable discovery
wag made. About seven miles north,
of St. Augustine, on the west shore
of North River, the remains of an au
eient city were disclosed. The par
ties who have given us this informa
tion are ready to conduct nv»y who de
sire it to the spot. Several wells,
walled in with coquina, are now vis
ihle, under water; hut the foundations
ot the houses can be only felt with a
pole. On the occasion of the discov-
j er y> a gale had prevailed for four or
live days lrom the north—driving the
water out of the river to an extent
never before known. Further invest
igations have also brought to light a
coquina quarry on this same site; and
what is the most remarkable, the
quarry is in the midst of a dense ham
mock—and which any one can see !
novy, by taking the trouble to go
there. The rock is of a quality equal
to any on Anastasia Island, and the j
quarry h&s been extensively used,
doubtless for the purpose of building
this city or settlement—for one or the
other it certainly was.
I Ihy question which naturally arises
is, by whom was this settlement
made—bv natives of this continent
* # >
! or Europeans? All historiographers
: agree that Ponce de Leon, a coni pan
ion of Columbus, in his second voy
age, first touched on this New World
at a point three miles north of St.
Augustine. This would have brought
him within four miles of this city, or
settlement, which ever it might have j
been. Say they, one and all, “he
found the natives fierce and implaca
ble But, at this period —lsl2 —all
history is silent, and we hear nothing
more of Florida or of America until
1520, when Narvaes arrived on the
western or gulf coast. Who will solve
this mystery? Perhaps it may throw
light on the history of America, hith
erto concealed, h'or let it be remem
bered that St. Augustine was the first
city settled in America. Our city is
still thronged with visitors. There
may be some among them curious
enough to search into the history of
their country; or at least, curious
enough to gratify their own curiosity.
There are pleasure boats a plenty in
the harbor, and at this delightful sea
son we would suggest that a trip up
the North river only seven miles could
be accomplished in a very short t ime- j
wind and tide favoring which our
“pleasure yatch fleet” perfectly com
prehend. Who will go to solve this
mystery about which we ourselves de
sire all the information we can obtain.

An Illustrated Monthly Journal claimed to be
the hfutsomesi Papecr in the World.
“Give my love to the artist workmen of
the aldine who are striving to make their
profusion worthy of admiration for beauty,as
it has always been for usefulness.”— Henry
Ward Beecher-
The Aldixk, while issued with all the reg
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodic
als* It is an elegant miscellany of pare,
light, nnd graceful literature, and a eollectiou
of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, in black and white. Although each
succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to
its friends, the real value and beauty of The
Aldine will be most appreciated after it has
been bound up at the close of the year.—
While other public publications may claim
superior cheapness as compared with rivalsof
a s;mi)a? class, The Aldine is a unique and
original conception—alone and unapproaefi
ed—absolutely without competition m price
or character. The possessor of the volume
just completed cannot dnplicatc the quantity
of fine paper and engravings in any ot her
shape or number of volumes for ten tunes its
cost.
The labor of getting The Aldine ready or»
the press is so gieut that reprt tins is out of
the question* With the exception of a small
number specially reserved for binding, the e
dition of 1871, is already exhausted, and it is
now a scarce as well a3 valuable book.
NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthusiastic support so readily aec.or.tJ
ed to their enterprise, wherever it has been
introduced, has convinced the publishers of
The Aldinc of the soundness of their theory
that the American public would recognize
and heartily support any sincere effort to ele
vate the tone and standard of illustrated pub
lications. That so many weakly wicked sheets
exist and thrive is not evidence tliut there is
no market for anything better-indecd the suc
cess of The Aldine from the start ip
proof of the contrary. With a population to
vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher
can choose his patrons, and his paper is rath
er indicative of his own than of the taste of
the country. Asa guarantee of the excel
lence of this department, the publishers would
beg to announce during the coming year
specimens frogj the following artists:
XV T Richard?, Granville Perkiaa, JaE&es Smiley,
Wm liar., F O C Darky, K K Piguet, *
Wm Beard, Victor Nehlig, Frank Beard,
George Smiley,Wm H Wilcox, Paul Dixon,
Aug. Will, James II Beard, J Howe,
These pictures nrj being reproduced with
out regard to expense by the very best en
gravers in the country, and will bear the se
verest critical comparison with the best for
eign work.it being the determination of the
publishers that The Aldine shall be a success
ful vindication of American taste in compe
tition with any existing publication in the
wot Id,
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
'Where so much is paid to illustration and
get up of the work, too much dependence on
appearance* may very naturally be feared.
To anticepate such misgivings, it is only nec
essary to state that the editorial management
of The Aldinc has been intrusted to
Ml*. RICHARD IIENRY STODDARD,
wlio has received assurances of assistance
from a host of the most popular writers and
poets of tiki country.
THE VOLUME FOR 1872
will contain neariy 300 pages and about 250
fine engravings. Commencing with the num
ber for January, every third number wifi con
tain a beautiful tinted picture on plate pa
per, inserted as a frontispice.
The Christmas number for 1872 will be a
spJended volume in itself, containing fifty en
gravings, (four in tint) and, although retails
at 81, will be sent without extra charge
to all yearly subscribers.
