BRADFISJI.D, Druggist, WAITEHALL STREET,' ATLANTA, GA. f'eb 20, lS6owhj Indian Trailers—tliclr Aston ishing powers. The most extraordinary skill that is I exhibited in this part of tne country, ! either bv the while man or the red 11a | tire, is in the practice of trailing.— I Here it is accounted an art its much as music, painting or sculpture ,in tlie East. The Indian or trapper that is a shrewd trailer, is a man of 1 dose observation, quick perception and prompt action. As he goes along, nothing escapes his observation, and what he sees and rt hears he accounts for immediately.' Often not another step is taken until a mystery that may present itself in this line is fairly solved. The Indian trailer will stand still for hours in succession, to account for certain traces in tracks, and some times give to the matter unremitting attention for days and weeks. The trailer is not a graceful man.— He carries his head much inclined, his eye is quic k and restless,' always on the watch, and he is practicing his art unconsciously, hardly ever crossing the track of man or animal without seeing it. When he enters a house, he brings the habits he contracted in his art r, ith him. I know a trailer as soon as; lie enters my room. He comes in through the door softly, and with an air of exceeding caution. Before lie is fairly in, or at least has sat down, ; lie hits taken note of every article and person, though there may be a dozen vacant chairs in the room He is not used to chairs, and like the Indians, prefer a more humble seat. When I was employed by Gun. Harney last summer to take charge of the Indians that were gathered here to form anew reservation, one day a guide and trail er came into the Gen era Is liendquar-; tors. I told him to be seated. He sat down on the lloor, bracing his back against the wall. The General saw this, and in vexation cried out, “My God, why don’t you take a chair, when there are plenty here not occupied?” The man arose and seated himself in a chair, but in so awkward and uncom fortable a maimer, that hclojkel as if he might slip from it at and moment But when this uncouth person came to transact his business with the General, lie turned ut to be a man of no ordi nary abilities. His description of a route lie took as guide and trailer for (be Ogullalas in bringing from the I’latte to tihs place was minute and exceedingly interesting. Every war party that for the scns< n had crossed his trail, he described with minuteness as to their number, tlie kind of arms they had, and stated the tribes they belonged to. In these strange igv Ra tions that he made there was neit _>r imposition nor supposition, for i e gave satisfactory reasons for every assertion lie made. I have rode several hundred miles with till experienced guide and trail r, Hack, whom I interrogated upon many points iu the practice of this art.— Nearly all tracks I saw, either old or i ew, as a novice in the art, I ques iione 1 him about. In going to the Niob ’ara river we crossed the track of an Indian pony. My guide loin o the track a few miles, and then said, “It is a stray, black horse, with a long busii y tail, nearly starved to death, has a split hoof of the left foro foot, and goes very lame, and lie passed hero early this morning.” Astonished and incredulous. I asked the reasons, for knowing these particulars by the tracks of tho animal, when he replied; “It was a stray horse, because it did not go in a direct line; his tail was long, for he dragged it over the snow; in brushing against a bush, lie left some of his hair, which shows its color. Ho was very hungry, for in going along, lie has nipped at those high, dry weeds, which horses seldom cat. The fissure of the left fore foot, left, also, its track, and the depth of indentation shows the degree of his lameness; and his tracks show lie was here this morning, when the snow was hard with frost.” At another place we came across an Indian track, and he said, “It is an old Yankton, who come across the Missouri last evening to look at his traps. In coining over he carried in his right hand a trap, and his left a lasso to catch a pony which he had lost. He returned without finding the horse, but had caught in the trap he had out, a prairie wolf, which he carried homo on his back, and a bundle of kininic wood in his right hand.” Then he gave his rest sous; “I know he is old by the impression his gait has made, and a Yankton by that of moccasin. He is from the other side of the river,as there are no Yanktons on this side. The trap he carried struck the snow now and then, and in the same i tanner as when he came, showing that he did not find his pony. A drop of blood in the center of his tracks, shows that lie carried the wolf on his back, and the bundle of kiniyic wood he used for a staff for support, and catching a wolf shows that he had traps out.” But,” I asked, “how do you know it is a wolf; why not a fox, or a eoyottc, or even a deer ?” Said he, “if it had been a fox, or coyotte, or any other small game, he would have slipped the head of the animal in his waist belt, and so carried it by bis side, and not on his shoulder. Deer are not caught by traps, but if had been a deer, lie would not have cross ed this high hill, but would have gone back by way of the ravine, and the load would have made liis steps still more tottering. ” Another Indian track, we saw twen ty miles west of this he put this seri ous construction upon: “He is an up per Indian—a prowling horse thief — carres a shot gun, and a rascal that killed some white man lately, and passed here one week ago; for,” eaid he “a lone Indian in these parts is on mischief,"and generally on the look out for horses. He had on the shoes of a " Into man, he had in all probability killed, but his steps are those of an In dian. Going through the ravine the (aid of hisgnn hit into tlie deep snow. A week ago we had a very warm day, and the snow being soft, lie made these deep tracks; ever since it has been intensely cold weather, which makes very shallow tracks.” I sug gested that perhaps lie bought those shoes. “Indians don’t buy shoes, and f they aid, they would not buy them as large as those were, for Indians have very smafc feet.” Hie most noted trailer of this coun try was l'anl Daloria, a half-breed, " died under my hands of Indian consumption, last summer. At one time 1 rode with him, and trailing was naturally the subject of our conversa tion. 1 begged to trail with him an old track over tho prairie, iu order to learn its history. I had hardly made the proposition when he drew up his horse, which was at a riviue, and said, “'Well, here is an eld elk track. Let us get off our horses and follow it.”— W e followed it but a few rods when lie said it is a month old, and made at 2 o’clock in tlie afternoon. This he knew, as then we lmd our last rain, and at the hour named, the ground was softer than at any other time.— The track before us was then made. He broke here and there clusters of grass that lay in the path of tlie track, and showed me the dry ends of some tho stumps of others, and numerous other similar items, accounted for many circumstances that astonished me. W e followed tlie trail over a mile. Now and then we saw that a wolf, a fmx and other animals had practiced the trailing iustincts on the elk s tracks. Here and there lie would show me where a snake, a rat, and a prairie dog had crossed the track.— NoUiiug had followed or crossed the track that the quick eye of Daloria did not detect lie gave an account of the habits of all animals that had left tkeii footprints on the track; also, of tlie state of weather since the elk pass ed, and the effect of sunshine, winds, airidity, sand storms, and other influ ences that had a bearing on these tracks. The old man, like all trailers, was reticent; but on this occasion, seeing I was interested, became especially com municative, Da. ITAcnrxDKua. Tattlers. “Oh could there in this world be found Some little spot of happy ground, \V here village pleasures might go round Without the village tattling, How doubly blest that spot would be, Where all might dwell in liberty, Free from all the bitter misery Os gossip’s endless prattling !” Every community is cursed by the presence of a class of people who make it their business to attend to everybody's business but their own.— Such people are the meanest speci mens of depraved humanity which all wise providence permits to exist on this cursed earth. Jt is well known that almost every person is sometimes dis posed to speak evil of others: and tat tling is a sin from which very few can claim to be entirely exempt. But the object of the present article is to speak of that distmet c lass of tattlers who make tale-bearing the constant busi ness of their lives. They pry into the private affairs of every family in the neighborhood, they know the exact state of one neighbor’s feelings toward another; they understand everybody’s faults, and no little blunder or misde meanor es 'apes their vigil mt watch fulness. They are particularly well posted upon everything connected with the courtship and matrimony, know who aregoingto marry and whom, and can guess the exact time when it will take place. They watch every movement of parties suspected of matrimonial intentions, and if there is the slightest chance to create a dis- | turbancc, excite jealousy, or “break up” a match, they take immediate ad-1 vantage of it and do all in their power ■ to keep people in a constant state of vexation. They glide quietly from fatner to sop, and in the ears of all j they pour their dark, bitter whispers of slander and abuse, and at the same time pretend to be the most sincere friend of those they talk to. Their black and nauseous pills of malicous slander arc sugar coated with smiles and honeyed words of friendship. Tattlers are confined to no particu lar class of society. They belong to ! all classes, and operate in all. Wo find them among the rich and the po >r—“upper ten” and the “lower million,” in the church and out of it. They are people who have no ambi ! tion that to be well informed in regard |to other people’r private business, to | retail scandal to their neighbors, and j I exult in fiendish triumph over the wounded fee lings and bruised hearts of the innocent victims. Beauless old maids and childless matrons make the most accomplished scandal mongers in the world. They seem to take to tat tling from the proptings of a natural instinct, and they prosecute it with ! an energy that would do infernal lion | or to their great leader—the prince of | darkness himself. Our contempt for j such graceless creatures knows no | bounds, and we can find no words to ; express its infamy. What punishment | they deserve we cannot know; but God knows, and assure as eternal jtts i lice reigns they will receive a rctribu ; tion proportioned to the magnitude of , their offences against the laws of God and the intercuts of humanity.

Out in Missouri lives a Mrs. Hemp dale, who has or had a daughter named Laura, who loved a man named Jack, j This man Jack she didn’t like, but she j was informed by a neighbor that Jack and Laura had arranged a plan ol elopement. Her mind was quickly made up. — She announced to Laura the next morn ing that she was going to Belleville on a visit to be gone three days, and that she must be a good gi 1 and not tear tho house down when she was gone, That night Jack knew of it, and as he read the nice little note that l ade him ‘come over and stay until mother j comes homo, and what a splendid time we will have,” lie smiled, kn- ' ked the ashes off his cigar, and resolved of course he would. Jack went over, but there is no earth ly use in our attempting to describe the delectable things he my yed; it was. a sugar season at that plantation, sure. Just before dusk, while Jack was running over full of the occasion, in rushes Laura’s waiting woman with, “Lor brass me, chiln, es yer ain’t missis at do gate.’ “My God, Dinah, wlrat shall wc do with Jack ?” “Pop him in de closet, Miss Laura,” and Jack was popped in tho closet in a twinkling. In stalked the old lady, who sharply scrutinizing the disconcerted and blush ing countenance of Laura, lilt su.e th t Ju< k had been there. ‘•Con e here, Laura. Now you can’t deceive mo. That abominable Elaine has been here, and you and he have fixed upon a luuaway mulch, to come off to night; I know you see.” Laura was silent, and the old lady con tinned: “Butyou will find that your mother is no fool, and too sharp for you, my lady. Sooner than you should many that miserable Jack Elaine, Id see you 1 laid in your grave. He is not going i to squander my money*, I will assure you ,\” The old lady rose, and going to a ! clothes press, returned with several i comforters and a pillow’. Then walking up to tho closet where 1 Jack was concealed, threw them in and I said to Laura, “Now march in here Miss, step along , 1 11 look out that you don’t see that low I born mechanic this night.” Laura protested that she didn’t want; to, declaring that her mother might be ! sorry for it some day. But, without paying any attention ; her mother gave her ft push, shut the j door, and locked it, put the kep in her j pocket and went to bed. Early in the morning the old lady ■ arose, and without w.aung to dress I'ook the key from h r. po;d"'t, and ipeucd the clcsei door to bid Laura 1 come forth,gfzed wildly for all in-taut, and uttered a moat piercing scream. Recovering very rapidly, started away from the door and culled faintJy to Laura: “JLturn, dear go into the kitchen and See about breakfast.” , Then presently: “Jack, I say Jack.” Jack eamo forth with ft tvm-in law looking air, find answered: I “Wolf, madam, wliat is it?’ “Do you know anything about a farm f' said she. “Nothing to brag of, lfia’am,” said Tack, humbly. “Well, at ’any rate, Jack, T think that after breakfast you and Laura may as well go down to the city and get mar ried, for I’m tired of watching you, .hat’sa fact.” Idl Tim: What Fathkii Takix," “What will you take to drink?" asked the waiter ut a young lad, who for tho first time accompanied his father to a a public dinner. Uncertain what to say, and feeling- suit) t hat he could not be wrong if lie followed his father s ex ample, he replied: “i'll fake what father takes.” The answer reached the lather's ear, and instantly the full responsibility of I iiis position rushed upon him. Ji ho j .'.a.d “I’ll take ale,” as he always had said 1 cfoie, his son would take it also, and tin n! And the lather slmddi red I as the history of several young men, j who once promising l.ko Ins-own bright lad, had Lvou ruined by drink, started up in the solemn warning before him. Should his hope also be blush and, and that oj on-faced noble lad become a Lmi'dcmu.'d a curse ns they had becom ? But. for strong drink they would have been active, earnest, prosperous men; and if it eoi Id wo k such ruin upon them, warn his own son safe? Quicker than lightning these thoughts passed through his mind, and in a moment tho decision was made. “If the boy falls,, he shall not have mo to blame;” and then, in turns tremulous with emotion,, to the astoni lnnout. of those who knew Dim, he said, “waiter, I’ll take water;’’ and fr< m that day to this, strong drink has been banished hum that man’s house.

STATE 110 A D -PAYMENTS. We have seen, from time to time,, comments made relative to the pay ments intc the Slate Treasury from the earnings of the State Hoad, and the chief complaint was: that $25,000 was not enough, considering tho busi ness the ltoad was doing. When we take into consideration the payments made by Dr. Lewis under Gov. Brown’s administration, it does look like asmall amount. V, e are not at all surprised at tho payments made by Col. Hulbert, when we take into view the statement he made of Lho condition of the Rood, and the actual repairs he considered neces sary to make the Road a wife and sure one for freight and travel. In tact, ho suggested that the whole earnings of the Rood be retained by the Treasurer of the Road, and that such repairs bo made as to make it a No. 1. first class. It is our opinion that Col. H. is acting upon Ins own suggestions, and that lie will be able to make a fair and satisfac tory report to flic next legislature. The Road w as in a bad condition when he took it in charge, for it must be re membered that it was roughly used by the Confederate and United Stab for ces, and 111 itch of the work upon it done hastily to keep it in running order, when it was running one day and burn ing the next. How much work was done upon it by' Mr. Wallace, we know not; imt if Col. Hulbert’s ft port is at all truthful ad reliable, and we are not prepared to gainsay it, the Road is don g very well, l>y paying into the Slate Treasuiy $25,U00 per month. There is one fact that the people of the .state may rely upon: no man can take licit Rood in hand and che. t tho State viihont Ixnng found out, exj[K>s e i itr.d in tlv dtnonreod. We will give ex-Goveruor Brown the credit of doing the State great service in liis management of the Road by his a] - poiutuiettts, anil past repoiVfi are too clear and .concise not to constitute a comparison at till times. As 10 some parties finding fault, wc avo not astonished. There are in the j world, a set of chronic fault tinders.; t icy may be of service to keep others : on the straight line of duty, nnd to ! arouse suspicions, but take th« m as a j whole, we nave no great deal of syu.- pa% fov them.
