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.

Society adjourn- ! ed. J. J. Juhax. Secy. J. AV. Merreil, has Corn for eale. May 10, ’72—tf. (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.” AY.

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. — St. Augifetine l*r■*£,s. kSTThe Cause of Temperance finds some of its most insidious and danger ous foes in the many so-called “tonics” and “appetizers,” made of cheap whis ky and refuse liquors, finished up to Sifit depraved appetites, under the name of medicines.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1872. filth year, .4 Representative ami Champion qf American Art Til© * 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.
