Tue New York World has a letter
from Augusta, which, while piquant
onough hi its style, gives rather a cheer
ing account of the position and pros
pects, politically and industrially, of
the conquered, but not humiliated or
subdued freemen of the South. We
anuex a few paragraphs that will be
found readable:
“the old COSTED.”
And now for the Southern white,
what of him ? There is but one way
to put it, and that is, that “the old
Coufed,” as he 1 >ves to style himself,
doesn’t care a d—n. lie is growing
rich, this victim is. Despite every ill
of these eight years past, this wonder
ful, this most amazing country is bear
ing him up as a strong swimmer would
bear a little lost child to the sh re.—
He has gold fit home, and as like as
uot a little something put away over
there beyond the water, in British
trust. Os course you will not see or
kuow this if a casual observer; neither
is it to be gathered from the columns
of the Southern press. Macaulay
talks somewhere of that singular style
of architecture which prevails in des
potic countries, whereby houses look
mean and gloomy without, but are till
ed with Persian rugs aud golden Ara
besque within. So there is hereabouts
a moral architecture which tells by a
plain exterior nothing of the refurnish
ing and resiting of fortunes within.—
It may be a revenue man with anew
despotism or one of those lice of des
potism, a detective, that is peering
about and asking questions, and small
satisfaction will either of those birds
get. It hikes a long and wide look,
but the money’s there. As for what
the papers say, it is a trick of the trade
to talk of the extreme poverty of the
South, ft r the gentlemen of the press,
be it known, are sometimes apt to hang
on to a good grievance for the sake of
the fine periods it enables them to
turn.
The South is not a paradise, but it
exhibits a highly remarkable state of
prosperity under the circumstances,
and verities in every part of it that I
have seen the frequent observation,
“We are coming up, sir.” In that part
of South Carolina where not one man
sion house in the army track was left
standing, I was told but three days
6»nce that the cotton was “perfectly
magnificent.” On the upper lino of
Sherman’s march to the sea, one of
the very best wheat crops is reported
that ever grew in the State of Georgia.
From Shreveport, Louisiana. I met an
old gentleman who said his folks were
much pestered with sundry chasings
and fightings between a party of
United States troopers and gome loose
fish from the borders, but that the
“crap was ‘fustrate ’ and “we wus a
going ahead” In Alabama I asked
one, who would be its Governor to
morrow if the people could have then
wav about it, and well does the gallant
gentleman merit it, how the State was
getting alej g I looked for a long re
cital of unmniib “red woes, but the an
swer was, “Fine; those fellows (i e the
taunts) rob ns with taxes, but our peo-!
pic are making money. It’ll be all
right.” And th is goes tbe tone of in
formation. Wherefore, as stated, the
late ‘ i ebeiliouis only to be properly
besc.ri! ed as n>t caring a continental
'That ‘ it’il be all right!” is the form in
wk: Jii tins vis neittnee finds expression,
and what that means in that liiiSgov- i t
erument must have an end, and that ■ i
to have plenty of money is the way to 1 1
put it down. With this it is in order j 1
to ask j *
HOW ABOCT THE RECONSTRUCTED STATE j *
GoVEKNMINTS?
The mountain has dwindled to a '
mole hill. The great evil inflicted by • !
the negroized State governments is I .
theft, They steal like cats. Perhaps :
tfcey would rob if they dared, though \
I doubt whether such pitiful wretches J '
have either the pluck or the brains for j '
a big haul, but as it is they pilfer and j
steal. Offences of violence arc not;
i frequent. There has grown up a sort
of supervisory judicature which snp
: piements the reconstructed courts very
well. Ais a loil man, say; he kills B,
who is not a loil map, and in fact, even
| one of the wicked. Now, if therecon
; structed court tries A and finds him
guilty, and sentences him to be hung,
i and the bogus Governor does not in
terfere, and lie is hanged; then first j
1 principles lie dormant and secondary j
• principles prevail. But if, out of pure J
i love and affection to A, the court will
not try the said A, or if, being tried j
and found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged, his bogus Excellency, the re- |
| constructed Governor of any Southern j
! State pardon the same, then and in 1
i any such case the supervisory judica- |
tuve is heard from. First principles j
(see Laws of Nature, title “Self Pres-1
ervation,”) awake, and A is found i
j hanged like a dog ou the limb of a tree. •
! Or, if not hanged, he leaves for parts j
I unknown, and so in either case the j
; community is well rid of him and lie
; murders no more. And so, mutatis
j mutandis with offences of lesser grade,
j Whereby, as stated, offences of violence
| are not frequent, and a reasonable state
! of peace prevails.
The moral influence ofj the citizens
of the South has gutted the recon
structed State governments. They
stand as mere hulls, and by the natural
! law of growth will soon be thrown off
ns inofficious vesicles are expelled the
j human frame. In such case their fi
( nancial obligations will receive a strict
attention. Where the stealage is but
| a small per cent., and the substance of
1 : the bonds issued has gone to public
purposes, there will not be much qnes
' | tion as to their recognition; if other
wise, overboard they go,

[From tlie Southern Watchman*
Tallulah Falls and Kacoochce
Valley.
Every lover of the beautiful, the ro
mantic and the sublime, should visit
these favored spots, where nature in
rich profusion is surrounded by all
that is grand, magnificent and lovely.
Leaving my resting place in the deep
forests above the falls, my sure-footed
mule carried me down the banks of
the rushing stream for many miles,
when we came upon the great falls
j suddenly, aud looked long and wou
deringly at the terrific scene—the mad
-1 ly rushing waters, whirling and leap
ing from rock to precipice, fall, stun
ning the senses by their deafening
: roar. High up for 1500 feet, rises
| cliff of rocks clothed with trees on its
crest, and standing sentry to watch
the ceaseless carnival. The mind is
! oppressed with the sublimity and
grandeur of the scene, which was
heightened by the sad associations of
! other days. We assisted in recovering
I the corpse of the lamented Hawthorne
I —the pious minister, the polished
! scholar and the accomplished jentle
man— who visited this place in compa
ny with the family Judge Clayton, and
ventured too far, in his greed for sci
entific lore and the enjoyment of the
i beauties of nature, was swept over the
: falls into the abyss below, and slept
the sleep of death. By using long
ropes, wo succeeded in lowering men
down the deep chasm, and, tying cords
and canvass around the body of the
unfortunate poet, we raised the corpse
to the mountain top and bore it to its
last resting-place. In White’s Statis
tics he is represented to have been lost
forever. This is not so; he was inter
red with all the honors of Christian bu
x*ial. Poor fellow, he little dreamed,
j an hour before, that he would be call
ed to witness the awful and sublime
i realities of eternity in so short a time!
The ways of God are past finding out;
and he was ushered into the presence
of his Creator, to receive the reward of
his labors and enter upon a glorious
I and eternal immortality. Let us all
! be prepared at a moment’s warning, to
meet our fate.
Years before this sad event, C.
Hanks, of Clarkesville, and Lewis Le-
I vy (now of Augusta,) were enjoying
the sublime pleasures of this cataract,
when Hanks lost his hold of the rock
and slid over the precipice 100 feet,
feet foremost, like Sam Patch, and
i plunged into the terrific abyss of surg
ing waters below—going down, down
for twenty fathoms. The boiling surf
hurled him upward and threw him in
to a fissure of the cliff, where, by a
miracle, he was wedged in and remain
ed over water. His friends had rais
ed the alarm and procured bedcords
from tho adjoining farmers, and let
down help, who, by tying rocks to the
ropes, threw them to him, and thus he
drew the larger ropes and bound them
round his body, and they drew him
i ashore and lifted him to- tbe summit of
: the cliff and thence home, where he
j lived many years, a better man.
1* rom this hallowed spot we travel
led to the romantic and lovely vale of
Nucooehee, which lies sleeping embo- i
somed in mountains, whose lofty sum
mits are crested with clouds and cast!
their shades into distant provinces.— 1
Old Yonah stands in isolated majesty,
four thousand feet above the tide of j
i the ocean; and the Tray, one thous
and feet higher, whose peaks bask in ;
eternal sunshine. The charming snot!
is inhabited by a dozen families, who.

The well-attended Sabbath school 1
proves this beyond caviL Then- church- ,
es and private residences are in good
m good taste, and their splendid Firms I
indicate a high appreciation of science.
It is h lovely valley where one mav en-!
joy all the exquisite pleasures of mcm
oiy —where the holy emanations of
the soul commune with the angels and 1
God where all the early associations
of chiiuiiuod are revived, and we once
more hear the sweet lullaby of our j
mothers. Its name, in the Cherokee
language, means “Evening Star,” from
a beautiful Indian princess who ruled
the nation The Spanish chevalier ■
Dc Soto mached his army from St Au
gustine, in Florida, to this place, ii
search of gold. A bloody battle was
fought, the Cheerokees conquered and
Naeoochee was made prisoner.
The fort of De Soto still remains,
and also the relics of a former people,
of whom the Cheerokec-s knew nothing,
called the “Mound Builders,” whose ;
stupendous and magnificent works of j
art are scattered over Georgia and the ;
great West as far as Mexico, and prove j
them have been under powerful and ;
despotic government, and to have
been an agricultural people. They
were inferior to the Mongol, but supe
rior to tho Indian, Esquimaux, Malay, I
or Negro. They everywhere worship
ped idols—the Indians never worship
ped them—and from the remotest an
i tiquity has occupied the state of the
| hunter. Jordine, a Catholic mission
ary, converted the beautiful Nacooch
i ee to Christianity, and was so greatly
influenced by her that he could hard
ly bo persuaded to leave, with DeSoto,
! for an unknown home. The mines
i here were not rich enough to satisfy
i the cupidity of the Spaniards, and
! they fought their way to the Mississip
i pi, where DeSo*o died, and was by re
quest buried in the turbid waters of
that mighty stream.
j Centuries have passed, and the An
glo-Saxon, has torn up these tributary
streams aud hills, and brought mill
ions of gold to the eager gaze of man.
Even now huge nuggets are being
{ found; and soon the vein or source of
j all this wealth will be opened, and
I craze the heads of the eager seekers
and run the world wild with excite
; ment. When your humble servant
i left that valley, with all its beauties
I and historic associations, he bequeuth
j ed to its goddess the following me*
j mento:
1 Vale of Nacoocheo, adieu to your oharms,
A long farewell to all I hold dear;
Yet, fond recollection still my heart warms,
f And gives to the past a sorrowful tear.
Encircled with a halo of fanciful dreams,
Oft have I wandered, in silence of night.
Along the green hanks of thy murmuring
streams,
And giyen ray soul to joyous delight.
I've clambered thy mountains, crested with
clouds;
Viewed the widedistanco of air, earth and
skies ;
Stood on the dixxy brink the abyss en
shrouds,
And trembled with terror, with fear and
surprise.
These pleasures arc gone—l taste them no
more—
By fate I’m drivem to a far distant land ;
Yet I bond to the will of tbe God I adore,
Aud cheerfully yield to Ilis chastening
hand. M. S. .

You Are Right.— The citizens of the
quiet little village of Cavtersville, re
fuse to allow the Van Wert Road to
come into their town. The main
reason we understand is, that the
noise and confusion that would grow
out of the arrival and departure
of the large number of trains that
it would require to do the work, would
greatly disturb the sleeping villagers,
and that tho head" lights to the en
gines, would cause the chickens to
crow for day, they mistaking them*for
the morning sun. Smith, cant’t you
remove the objection? It is a great
pity to see the town, that Atlanta and
Rome are to be the suburbs of, cut off
in its growth by a few sleepv-heads.—

Scarcely one who reads this article
on camp meetings, who has advanced
to mature a<_ ), but can look back, witli
emotions of pleasure, to the time when
they attended old fashioned Methodist
Camp Meetings. It calls up afresh in
their rrinds the fondest remihisences
of their past lives. Many fdmiliar fa
ces present themselves to one’s imag
ination, whose voices have long since
been hushed in the stilness of the grave,
or who now roam in distant lands. —
Ah! how memory loves to linger about
the place, where we spent our happiest
moments with the associates of our
earlier days. The fond anticipations
of our youthful hearts, at the approach
ing season when we should pitch our
tents, for a few days, upon the old
camp ground, within whose borders
now sleep the dust of our fathers and
mothers, often awaken memory’s fond
est dreams, and arouso new desires in
our saddened hearts to witness and
realize again the scenes that then greet
ed our eyes and thrilled our souls with
so much innocent delight. The old
shingle roof arbour, the gushing spring,
and the rude tents of rough-edge and
puncheon plank are linked together in
our minds with the memory of the
loved tenants of the latter, beneath
whose humble roof and around whose
rude alters we have so often assembled
and spent so many moments of sweet
communion. But tho sublimest and
most enrapturing thought connected
with the old camp ground is “ It teas
our birth, place." Ah! well do wo re
member the day and the hour, while
like the lame man at the pool, we lay
at the altar, of prayer, waiting, in dread
suspense, the time of our deliverance
from the body of death—sin—when
light broke in upon our benighted
souls, and we felt and realized that we
were “born of God.”
“What peaceful hours I then enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still.”
The moving appeals from the man
of God who stood in the sacred desk,
the prayers and groans of heavy bur
dened souls, the soul-thrilling and
heaven inspiring songs of happy ones
who stood around, and the shouts of
triumph as they escaped the lips of
those who had just been set free from
the bondage of sin and captivity of
satan, still find a vibrating chord in
our memory, whenever, or wherever we
think of the old camp ground of our
father’s and mothers.
Alas, the late destructive war well
i nigh wiped out the last vestige of these
hallowed places. Scarcely a camp
ground is left in all the land, from the
mountains to the seaboard. Will they
: never be rebuilt ? We hope and trust
they may, and at Pine Log, Felton’s
! Springs, and Bethlehem, in Bartow
county, we hope, with orn brethren
and friends, again to commingle, be- j
neath the arbour, around the altar of
prayer, and in the tent, as in days of
yore. So mote it be.

Mr. Editor:
I bare heard the question of building
a SehoolHouse, by our Town Council
discussed by several of our prominent
citizens, and I must say that the ques
tion presents itself to my mind rather
fuvorubly, than otherwise. The only
point wiie re in I w mid differ with them
is in tho mutter of mixed Schools. J
think that for a town, which bids as
; fair as ours, is certainly worthy of two
.schools of high order. Ido not mean
Colleges, but High Schools. Not that |
I am opposed to Colleges, but that we j
are not able to endow them. Then
let us go to work and build up two ;
schools, one for males and one for fe
j
males, and buy the necessary aparatus,
and you, Mr. Editor, will sec that our j
population will fust increase, by par- j
ties moving in to educate their chil-;
dren, and anew era will dawn on our *
village, by increase of trade, eleva-!
tion of morals, the cultivation of the I
arts and sciences, as well as a more j
extended religions atmosphere. I uu- j
derstand there are several gentlemen
in our midst, alive to the interest o:'
education and are willing to give large
amounts as individuals for these pur
poses, but we do not have enough of
' these public spirits amongst us to put
'up suitable buildings, and I am one
- who l does not believe it desirable, even
jif wo had, for the reason that few be
sides those contributing will feel di
! rectly interested in it, but when they
are put up by the town, all, both rich
! and poor, will feel direct interest in
their welfare, because we will all feel
they arc our schools, and all will vie
with each other in building up and
j maintaining theso schools, instead of
j keeping up six or eight schools such as
! we now have. ' W.

To the Patrons cf the “Cartersville
Express.”— -Harvest time has come and
gone, but not one dollar promised us,
at that time, has yet been paid. Now
let us say, once for all, to those who
are owing us for Subscription and Ad
vertising, that unless your promises are
fulfilled, and that soon, our business
transactions will not be as agreeable
and harmonious in the future as they
have boen in the past, we fear. Those
who have not paid for their paper in
advance, will be expected to pay three
dollars per annum. If you cannot pay
in money we will take it in good wheat
or flour at the market price. We will
send the Express to any address eight
een months for two bushels of good
wheat or its value iu good flour.
