SAMUEL //. SMITH , Editor and Proprietor
CARTERSVILLE, OA., AUG. 2GTII, 1809
For longres.*.--Vt h District.
GEN. P. M. B. YOUNG
OF BARTOW.
The Mate Road.
Bam Smith, onr clever old friend of
the Cartersville Esrj/ress, Ims had the !
temerity to thus express himself in the i
last issue of hia excellent journal:
“Any one who has traveled over the !
"Western & Atlantic Railroad within
the last few weeks certainly has not I
failed to observe the very marked iro- I
provemeut t that are being made upon
the track. Coupled with the new iron
is the stone ballasting. The change in
running off of the old on to the new
track is so sudden and sensible that
passengers often thrust their heads out
of the windows to ascertain the cause.
CoL Hulbert, the efficient Superinten
dent, is gaining golden laurels every
day, even among those who have been
his bittere t political enemies, by his
great energy and business tact, as de
veloped in the management of this
great State enterprise. He is rapidly
becoming the champion of railroad
men in the South. The tongue of par
tisan prejudice has been silenced, and
hia name has become a household
word.”
Now, as the “Express” is an old
democratic journal, and “Sam” himself,
the editor and proprietor thereof, is an
old democrat, in paying the foregoing
compliment to Col. Hulbert, does he
not run somo risk of being read out of
the democratic party ? Beware, “Sam;’
the “ Constitution ” will bo down upon
you if you continue to run that sort of
a schedule.—Atlanta Inteligeucer.
Ou r Whitehall Btreet contem
porary quotes some commendation of
the Cnrtersville Express upon Col.
Hulbert’s management of the State
Road, und tells brother Smith to be
ware, or Thk Constitution will be down
on him if he continues to run that sort
of a schedule.
We thank our neighbor for his com
pliment. We certainly have no toler
ance for venality. While we have only
censure for bought commendation, we
do not believe our Cnrtersville contem
porary would sell his favor. When he
does, he may look for The Constitution
and ail other honest folk to be down
on him.—Atlanta Constitution
Wo have ever made it a point to
“render to Ccesar the things that are Cae
sar's,” irrespective of our ideas of par
ty policy; or, in other words, wo have
always been disposed to “ give the devil
his dues.” Yve think it right to reward
virtue aud punish vice, whenever and
wherever found. If we differ with our
fellow-inan, politically or religiously, it
does’nt follow that wo are to regard
them as hostile foes to our interest
and persons forever. While we may
differ in cur views, that difference of
opinion may be an honest one; and we
bhould ever accord 1 o our fellow-man
good motives unless we have just cause
'to believe to the contrary’. The mat
ter of crimination and recrimination
springing from simple party prejudice
only, is wrong, politically and religious
ly, acid should not be indulged by any
man who wishes to do right. We are
opposed to proscription for opinions
auke, unless it is apparent that that
opinion is the result of prejudice or
selfishness. We live in a free cou itry
and have the right to think as we please>
especially in matters of public expedi
ency, and when we have exercised this
right, who shall presume to sit in judg
ment upon our motives? We have a
conscience before whose bar our
thoughts aud motives are arraigned,
which either condemns or approves in
these matters. If it condemns who
can acquit it—if it approves who can
condemn it ? It is true that conscience
may be perverted, but in bringing
about this result, violence must be
done, therefore, we conclude that an
enlightened conscience is a very sure
guide in matters of right and wrong.—
The apostle Paul, taught the doctrine,
that to do anything under the convic
tion that it was wrong, to him that so
considered it, it was wrong. We too
often judge of a man’s actions without
knowing the motives that prompted
them. We should be conscientious in
all we do, and we will be very apt to
do right. To do right is to be an hon
est man, and an honest man is the
“ noblest work of God.” In speaking
commendably of Col. Hulbert, we
apeak of his official character, and who
will take issue with us on thatground •
We know nothing of his private or
personal character, and therefore are
not prepared to express an opinion,
either pro or con, about it. We said
what we did about him because we
thought it was due hinj. We said it,
without the hope of reward or fear of
punishment. We have nothing to re
tract. We can say this much, howev
er, if Col. Hulbert rewards us for it, he
will be the first official that has ever
done such a thing before.

——-
Mu E-ktob: It having been my hap
py lot to be one among the multitude
in attendance, at the above named j
place, I most respectfully ask purtnis- j
sion to sav a few Words concerning it, i
through the columns of vour Vulua-1
i ble paper.
Unoti arriving at the beautiful little
! city of Marietta, we were most ngreea
; bly surprised at finding such a large
j number of people in attendance, and
i came to the conclusion at once, that
■ the people of our State were alive to
the great importance of educating the
indigent children of our country.
After leaving the train, we wended
our way to tl e Park, and when the j
man ut the gate asked for a “ticket,”
we drew our “complimentary” on him
whereupon, he very politely invited us I
to walk in, which vve did with as much
gusto as if we had paid for our admit
tance. Being somewhat fatigued, wo
sat down upon .the green grass, in the
cool shade of a st itely old oak, to rest
our “weary bones.” While we were
sitting there enjoying the deligtfu!
breeze which caused a gentle rustle of
the leaves overhead, our attention was
directed to the several blands, within
the enclosure. At one could be had,
i confectioneries of all kinds, at another,
Lemonade, leo Cream, Watermelons,
; &c.; at others, Dry Goode of every de
scription, in fact, anything that you
; might call for could bo found at some
J one of those* stands. In another por
tion of the Park, were Agricultural lm
-1 plements, from different manufacturers
throughout the United States, with all
, the modern improvements, and the ve.
ry best of their kind, all of which, to
getherer with two splendid buggies,
and a large number of other articles,
which time and space forbid mention
were donated by the manufacturers.
Among the beautiful w r arcs exhibit
ed on the grounds, we cannot refrain
from mentioning those of Mr. George
Sharp, Jr., of Atlanta. Silver Plated
Wares, of the most beautiful patterns.
Wo have never seen his Wares surpas
sed.
About nine o’clock the people were
coming from every direction of the
city, toward the Park, and in a very
short time the ground w r as literally
covered, in fact, so much so, that we were
compelled to arise from a reclining pos
ture to that of a standing one to avoid be
ing ran over. About this time, the Car
tersville Brass Band made their ap
pearance, apparently much to the
satisfaction of all, and they were given
a hearty reception, by the entire
crowd. ‘Near llo’doek, the Band was
conducted to the stand, by Mr. Mans
field, and requested to play a piece or
two to collect the crowd. In a very
few minutes the Stand was surrounded
by a large number of people, waiting
with patience to hear what was next
on the programme. After making a
few announcements, Mr. Mansfield in
troduced Prof. Sanford, of the Mercer
University, to the audience for the pur
pose of addressing them, who, very
much to the disappointment of all,
declined upon the plea that ho was
wholly unprepared. The Rev. Mr.
Butler, of Augusta, was then introduc
ed, who entertained his hearers in
a chaste and eloquent speech of about
an hour’s duration.
After the speaking concluded, din
ner was announced, and almost the
entire crowd repaired to the tables,
and partook of an elegant meal.
As it would be an utter impossibili
ty, sir,to give in detail ail tliS i transpir
ed during the three days that we speut
there, I will conclude by saying that
speeches were made tho second aud
third days, (Thursday and Friday,) by
the Rev. W. P. Harrison, of Cobb
county, Col. Geo. N. Lestor, and oth
er’s, who did full justice to tho occa
sion.
At nights, Concerts were given by
the Marietta Freo School, under tho
supervision of Mr. Mansfield, the Pro
prietor, which reflected much credit
upon both teachers and scholars.
Beforo concluding, Sir, permit me
to say, in justice to the Rev. Mr. Mans
field, and the ladies, married and un
married, of Marietta and Cobb coun
ty, who had anything t« do with the
Fair, that they deserve the thanks and
gratitude, not only of the citizens of
Marietta, but of the entire State!—
Sir, the work in which they are engag
ed, is a noble one, and the motives
which prompted them to it, pure ones.
W e take the liberty, to tender- the
profound and heartfelt thanks of the
widows of Confederate soldiers,
who sacrificed their lives upon the
gory field of Mars, battling for their
country’s honor, freedom and inde
pendence, to Mr. Mansfield, tho insti
gator and leader of this laudable work,
and hope that the day is not far dis
tant, when schools of this kind will be
established throughout the entire
Southern States, and orphans of
Southern Soldiers received the benefit
of at least, a common education—God
speed the day. Very Respectfully
Yours, J. t. G.

August 17. b, 1860. y
M . Editor: Wei’s you ft ware that
your town and vicinity had a party rov
ing about seeking mountain scenery and
pure, free stone water? Well, such is
the fact, and they have arrived at this
place, after seeing the intervening
sights from homo to this place. They
left on the 10th inst., and tuking the
Tennessee Road, ere long, found them-j
selves at Fairmount, at the foot of l
Ramsaurs’ Mountain; new for a climb ‘
and a view, All hands were intent to
get out of tho vehicles, and straggle
up on foot, which was done with a
hearty, good will, and the ascent com
menced, driving a spar e and stopping
to rest, and at each successive stop to
look at the beautiful plain below, and
the hills and mountains that loomed up
in the distance. All who have stood
on its summit and looked for beauties
could not have failed of satisfaction. It
is a lovely view, and well worth a trip
from Carters ville to enjoy it. Beyond
I the summit wo found a running stream
-1 let, and by its quiet banks we stretch
|ed our tents, and ate our evening
meal with an appetite, and after giving
God thanks for His care, and asking
Him for his presence with us through
the journey, each one repaired to the
tents, wagons, and pallets, and found
“sweet, balmy sleep,” except a few of
the young ladies who feared wolves or
some vctrminl, might seek someone to
devour; but all was quiet, and we
slept well. At early dawn all arose,
and partcok of breaks ast beneath the
out-stretched arms of the old forest
trees. We have fifteen whites, and
two ‘ob de cullud ’suasion,’ in our
troop, making seventeen souls, among
whom, are Miss Buford, the Misses
Shepherds, and their brother, ‘Our
Tom,’ J. J. Howard and three cf his
family, Mr. Richard Clayton, Mr. J.
H. Wikle, and his better half, Miss
j Eugenia Skinner, of Atlanta, Hugh B.
Greenwood, and Miss Ida Milner, of
I our town, and each determining to be
happy, and make others so. Our en
joyment has been all we could have
asked for. On the second day, we
passed by the farm of the late Colonel
Tate, in Pickens county, which is a
most beautiful place, and lies like a
j thing of beauty, • surrounded by moun
; tains which seem to stand guard to
| protect its quietness from intrusion. —
! Crossing a beautiful stream in the val
ley, we commenced the ascent of Long
Swamp Mountain, and as we wound
up it sides, views of magnificent grand
eur presented themselves to us. Far
away as our vision could extend,
mountain after mountain, rose, and
mellowed into the soft azure of the
sky, completed a grand panorama
scene. We looked in amazed delight,
and our hearts were filled with admi
ration to Him, who held them in the
palm of His hand, and weighed them
in a balance. Cold and phlegmatic
would be the man who could see the
gorgeousness of this scene, and not lift
up his heart to God. Sir Walter
j Scott has sung the glory of Scotland’s
hills and mounts—who will, in com
ing years, throw the witchery of poe
try, around our looming, sky-support"
iug mountains? Asa slight draw
back to our pleasure, we found the
roads through Pickens, and the upper
counties to Mount Yonah, in a very
neglected, unworked condition; no
mile posts or signboards to direct the
traveller, and often at the fork we had
to wait until some passer-by would in
form us which road to take, or send
back to mu last house passed, and ask.
Much time is thus consumed, and
, annoyance is very vexatious.
Mr. Editor, have you ever traveled
through a country thus void of posts or
guides? if yon have you know what
we suffered, aud most of the people on
the vay have but a faint knowledge of
distance. A mile is a long distance as
understood by them. We eould but
coinparo the roads in Bartow Cuun'y,
well worked, and measured, with the
miserable cowtrails we found in some
places on our route, and we thank
Judge Parrott for the position ho took
in reference to our roads in Bartow.
Well done, Judge, your course honors
you, and your people too; let there
not be a road in our county, unwork
ed or unposted, and the traveling pub
lic will bless you, for good roads are
evidences of civilization and energy.—
Last night near this place, a lady came
near losing her life; her buggy was
upset, and broken and herself badly
injured, passing over one of these exor
able road*. I hope the Legislature
will hold every Judge in this state to
a strict accountability as to the faith
ful discharge of their road duties, and
in all ca? es where derelict remove them
or withhold a portion of their salaries,
this would awaken them to a sense of
their duty. The people of any civil
ized country are entitled to have good
roads. The state of the roads in Geor
gia, is a standing rebuke to those whom
the law appoints to be their supervis
ors. Let there be a reform at once.
One of the party, if you desire it, will
give an accoont of Mt. Yonah, in our

Cartersville, Georgia, )
August 10, 1860. )
Having travelled over a portion of
Cherokee Georgia, I have concluded
to forward you a few facts ascertained
daring my trip, which may be of inter
est to some of the readers of your val
uable and appreciated paper.
NIRTH GEORGIA.
It is admitted by many extensive
travellers, who are competent j udges,
that the scenery of Upper Georgia is
unsurpassed by Europe with her hills
aud dales, her awe-inspiring mountains,
and her majestic rivers. It is here
that nature seems almost to have sur
passed herself, and here she is exhib
ited to the eye unveiled in all her
grandeur and beauty. Here you are
favored with pictures from her hand
which defy the description of the his
-1 toriau, and which challenge the imita
tion of the artist.
CARTEUSVHXB
i? a flourishing tov/n situated immedi
ately on the Western and Atlantic
Railway, in the beautiful and flourish
ing valley of the Etowah. Its pros
pect for the future is most promising
aud encouraging, and it is destined to
grow to much larger proportions. It
has all tho the rudiments of a city,
and time alone is necessary to ripen
and develop its capacities i* to one of
the*most inviting cities of our State. —
Competition, the author of improve
ment, reigns supreme in Cartersville.
There is hardly an establishment, no
matter how peculiar its business or
how small its patronage, that is not
subjected to com potion in some shape
or other.
mineral resources.
The large slate mine of Yan Wert,
which has gained such notoriety, is
only fifteen miles from here—offering
large profits to any one who will take
charge of the work, with the determi
nation to test its capacity. • Only a
few miles from town are the ruins of
what once were splendid iron works,
connected with the railroad by a track
laid expressly for their accommodation.
These works were destroyed during
the war. They should be rebuilt and
the work again begun, for here also
are large profits to be gained. The
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
of Cartersville are superior. Besides
other schools, there are two well pat
ronized male academies, convenient to
the town and neighboring community.
Messrs. Pritchett and Johnson begun
their fall term the first Monday in Au
gust, with about one hundred pupils.
Mr. 8. G. Hiilyer. son of Rev. Dr. Hiil
yer, of Forsyth, opened his select
school last Monday, with a very grat
ifying number of students.
* There are Methodist and Presbyte
rian Churches in Cartersville, and a
large brick Baptist Church rapidly ap
proaching completion. In short, this
place, with its healthy location, refined,
community, thoroughly educated teach
ers, studious and pious ministers, po
lite merchants of a life-time experience
and business men of means and intelli
gence, offers uneqoaled advantages tp
all in search of health, wealth, intelli
gence, pleasure, or a residence in a
first-class community.
But as we proceed up the road, out
thoughts are drawn from this pleasant
village to contemplate the sad specta
cle of unfortunate
C'HICAMAUGA.
Here we have an example of the des
olation and woe that follow in the foot
prints of war. The place is literally
aud completely deserted, and this spot,
made historical by deeds of valor, is
now covered with thick undergrowth.
Nature is erecting & monument to the
brave dead.
Passing on, in a little while, we go
whirling into
CHATTANOOGA.
This place is not very prepossessing in
its appearance. It seems to ho an ac
cumulation of cabins, shanties and
kitchens piled up in disorder aud con
fusion in the valley of the Tennessee
River, and is liable to be destroyed at
any moment by the rising and over
flowing of the river. Tho freshet of
*67 is called to mind when the loss of
life and wreck of property were alarm
ing.
Having become disgusted with this
burlesque on cities, we hasten to climb
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN,
from whence we “vie * the landscape
o’er,” and “lookout” with contempt on
the world, especially on Chattanooga,
the houses of which now resemble so ;
many chicken coops. The Mountain
Hotel (which has bec-u open only about
a month) ia situated upon one of the
highest points of the mountain and ia
about fifty yarda from the edge of
THE BLUFF 1 ,
which is a precipice Ibree hundred feet
deep. The view from this point i» the
most charming and interesting upon
the mountain, and impresses the be
holder with feelings of indescribable
awe.
The beautiful Lake Seclusion is sit
ated about three miles from the hotel,
adjaeeut to Lulah Falls, and the scen
eiyaronnd them is magnificent beyond
description.
LOOKOUT POINT
is convenient to the hotel, and is the
most popular place of resort on the
mountain. Here you have the grand
view of Chattanooga, encircled by the
waters of the Tennessee. Although
this point affords the finest views, it is
exceedingly dangerous, and is so situ
ated as to be very tempting to tourists,
and one or two, more adventurous
than the rest have lost their lives at
the Point, during the last month.
You may read of the majestic ruins
of Pome, or the mouldering remnants
of Pompeii, or contemplate the green
Isle of Erin, the Gem of the Sea, or
imagine the pleasure of revelling in
luxury on the vine-clad hills of sunny
France, yet, from all these will disap
pointed Fancy turn with a sigh, and,
spreading its golden-tinted pinions
wing its fiight to our own land, and
light self-satisfied on the summit of
our magnificently-grand mountains, or
bathe its weary limbs in the sparkling
waters of our crystal rivers.
Yours, Pet.
Relief.
We have the decisions of the Su
preme Court, delivered to-day, includ
ing those upon the important subjects
of slave notes and homesteads. We
have not space to give the decision in
full in this issue, and therefore, for the
benefit of parties, announces the result.
We will give the whole in our next
issue.
The Court runs the same programme
as lietetofore on llelief. Chief Justice
Brown and- Judge McCny ascided it
to the lust syllable, and Judge Warner
dissents. The slave notes are buried
beyond resurrection. The Chief Jus
tice thinks it no- worse to kill negro
securities than to kill the property in
the chattel itself. While, homesteads
are retro-active and everything else
vital on high constitutional grounds of
lofty jurisprudence, viz: public expedi
ency.
We were in the Supreme Court room
for a brief while when the negro notes
were under discussion, and heard Col.
Warren Akin make a strong argument
in favor of their validity. Ho uttered
some burning invective against the in
famy of that Constitution which drives
the widows and orphans of the coun
try remediless from its Courts, and de
stroys teeir honest claims, while those
who have enjoyed the benefit of their
property and the use and hire of their
negroes, are permitted to laugh at the
demand for payment. The Colousl
advanced the position, remarkable in
these days, that creditors had a few
li'.tle bits of rights as well as debtors.

General Grant's Opinion or
Southerners. — General Grant is re
ported to have said, in his inverview
with 1 arbell, of Missippi, that he knew
the Southerners, and that it was “mor
ally impossible” that they should be
sincere in their acceptance of the Con
gressional plan of reconstruction, or
words to that effect.
If General Grant speaks the truth
in this matter, in what a plight does
he put his political friends, who are
seeking to force reconstruction on the
South! He here makes the significant
concession that the Radical party has
dictated terms of reunion to the South
ern people which they cannot in good
conscience accept. It is this, and
nothing less! He charges upon the
Radical party the crime and perfidity
of proposing a plan of reconstruction
which the South cannot agree to with
out dishonor! What a great judg
ment is this to be rendered up in his
tory against a party by its great lead
er and exponent ?
And we think General Grant does
not underestimate the Radical party.
That organization draws its very breath
from strife, and no doubt put recon
struction in the odious form they did
because they believed it would be re
jected and the reign of discord per
petuated and with it their own.

the trade also of that valuable section

no body can do better work than they
do, or sell it for less money.

A New Steamship Company to Ply
Between the South and Europe.— We
see it stated that a company has been
chartered by the State of New York
under the title of “The Atlantic, Med
iterranean and Orleans Steam Naviga
tion Company,/ and given all the im*
munitiss and privileges necessary for
' the accomplishment of their design.—
This COtujmny now organized under
the Presidency of General Hiram Wal
bridge, propose to run a line of steam
ships from the c’ty of New York. Nor
folk, and the best poi** ISouth of Nor
folk, to European ports, 1 grinding al
so Mediterranean ports. The fading
object of the company is the establish
ment, upon a secure and permanent
foundation, of great lines of American
steamships, owned and controlled ex
clusively by American interests, carry
ing the American mails, and promot
ing the interest of American commerce
end industry. The ships are to be
American built ships, and are to be
commanded by American captains.
The whole enterprise is to be exclu
sively American—not in the obnoxious
use that has heretofore distinguished
that title, which meant nothing but
sectional interests, but in its true sense
—for the benefit of the Atlantic States
in the South as well as the North.
Sav. Republican.
A Chicago reporter, who at
tended a spring opening of a fashiona
ble millinery, says of it; “A cabbage
leaf, trimmed with three red peppers
and a dried cherry, sells for thirty-five
dollars. It is called a jockey; has one
great advantage—can be eaten as a
salad when the season changes. One
composed of three sighs and a bit of
pink-colored fog was considered cheap
at thirty-five dollars.”
The Government and the Southern
Railroads. —A Nashville dispatch savs:
Colonel Van Dyne, on the part of the
United States Government, is in that
city to sue the Nashville and Chatta
nooga Railroad for sixteen hundred
thousand dollars for rolling stock sold
by the government to the road. The
road offsets the claim by a bill of over
$3,000,000 for the use of the road dur
ing the war. This will serve as a test
case for a number of other So uthern
roads.
