* We took a flying trip up the W. k
A. li. It., to the town of Adairsville,
in this county, on Friday last, and spent
several days with ist whole-soul and
very clever citizens. It was our first
sojourn iu their midst, and candor
constrain# us to sty, that we never
spent tho simo length of time more
pleasantly in any cj inaunity.
Adairsville is extemporaneous wirh
Cartcrsulle and Kingston, as they—
—dating her beginning from the tune
the State lio.nl reached that point in
course of its construction. While the
town does not give much evidence of
pro3p ‘rity, iu-so-far as new builJiugs
are concerned, yet her location is by
no means an unfavorable one. She
c mtaius a population of between three
and live hundred inhabitants, between
15 and 20 business houses, a large
three-s‘ory brick hotel, kept by Mr.
John O. Ay cock, and would be a cred
it to a place of much larger preten
tious; an excellent Academy, School
t.iught by oar young frien l Sanders;
a neat Church edifice, daily thrown
open to all orthodox do omiuations;
ft gplou .li l Stettn Grist Merchant Mill,
ow ied by Mr. J. M. Veae’i, an.l run
by Mr. Oglesby, that mill renowned
gentle nan, whose flour has bean the
boast of consumers generally; a healthy
location, the finest w ter, unsurpassed
society, aud, by no rarvai, bast of all,
backed up by as fine valley 1 mda as
caii be found iu Georgia.
Adairsvillu is im n dl.iudy on the
Western & Atlantic lit 1 road, ten
miles above Kingst >n, and 20 North
of Cartersville, m 1 ab >it three South
of the Gordou li e. \V\> learn that a
project is on so >t to in 1 act the Legis
lature to lay th. m off anew county,
by taking a portion f om Gordon and
the balauce from B irtow County.—
The proposed Southern line to come
down as low as Howard’s L ine Kiln,
making a county of about 12 m’les
from North to South, and 18 from
E ist to West, to bo called “Cass,” and
tho Court House to be at Adairsville.
We don’t know but that, if they want
it, they ought to have it, from die fol
lowing considerations: Ist. Because
the distance if too great from Oartera
vdle for them to have to travel to reach
tho Court House, and but few, who
would be cut off in said County ever
visit our town except to attend Court,
kc. 2d. It would give anew impetus
to the growth and prosperity of
Adairsville and surrounding country,
and develop the resources of the rich
valley in which she is situated, and, at
the same time, do the balance of
the county but little or uo injury.
Am nig the citizen* who.a we had
the pleasure of visiting, were Col. J.
W. Gray, J. M. Veach, and Col. J. H.
Fitten, than whom rto more clever and
enter rising gentlemen can Bartow
Cou i y boast. They are all tine fann
ers und number one citizens. In com
pany with them, we visited their re
spective plantations, which far excelled
our moat sanguine expectations in many
respects, particularly s.B regards fertil
ity of soil, beauty of situation, and
area. We were glad to mark the in
terest these gentlemen, together with
ma ly others, were taking iti the culti
vate 1 of grain, clover and the grasses,
together with fruits. Col. Gray, a few
years since, bought quite a poor, ridgy
plantation, immediately in the vicinity
of the village. By industry and per
severance he lias wrought it up to a
state of fertility that is truly wonder
ful. Upon this plantation lie has now
a crop of Clover and Timothy not ex
celled in the great valley of Virginia—
one hundred and fifty acres, one hun
dred of which he expects 3_> >n to mow,
which will average him, at least, a ton
the acre of good hay. He has fur
thermore, built him a spacious barn
wherein to store it away, which will
bold between one hundred and fifty
and two hundred tons, together with
stalls, shelters, &c. This barn exceeds
anything of the sort in construction
and design, that wo have ever seen in
the South. It is truly a model con
cern. Col. Fitten, who bought the
Charley Hamilton place, just above
Adairsville, has also about the same
area seeded in clover and tin grasses,
except a far greater proportion of his
are meadow lands. He has the finest
field of wheat we have seen this season.
His plantation is a magnificent one.
sccon'l perhaps to ue je in Cherokee
well watered and well taken care of. —
Mr. Vcache's old residence in the vil
lage was distroyed by fire, some tjme
during 136$ we believe. Upon tU
Oii bh has erected a superb new
residence, which is now being finished
in 'beaut iful KrchfteAtural style by
; Messrs/ Z. W. k M. tj. Jack on k Cos.,
of this place. He also has a fine body
1 of lands, a due proportion of which is
also seeded down in clover and the
grasses, with a smart sprinkling of due
fruit trees, all of which are doing well,
and promise a gracioif harvest.—
j these three gentlemen are but the
! type of many others iu th it section cf
the county, whose nMir*s we might
mention, li.it whose farms we did not
i visit. Altogether we feel proud of the
, \d iirsville District. It h s never had
! the credit for as g.>od citizens and
lands it just’y mirit-*, but a bright
future awaits that district. While
looking over these beautiful Oothcalo
ga Valley plantations, we were forcibly
reminded of those fine lauds we saw
m the great valley of Virginia. The
! day is not far distant when this por
tion of our county wiy.be almost one
vast clover field, and fnt stock, yellow
butter, and rich milk, and general
good living, will make it the Eden of
upper Georgia.
itvporl of tSie President and Hi.
rectors of the Carters* file &
Van Wert Railroad Company,
to the Stockholders thereof, at

\‘f 0: __
Y/“e President and Directors of the
Cartersvillo and Van Wert Railroad
Company, report to the Stockholders
that, after their appointment at your
last meeting, they proceeded to organ
ize by electing Mark A. Cooper Presi
dent. By-Laws and Rules for tin
government of the affairs of the Com
pany were then adopted, which were
duly recorded, and with the other, pro
ceedings, are to be found in a book
kept for that purpose. This is here
with respectfully submitted for your
inspection. All other officers required
for organization were appointed, as
will appear.
sv v:;:y and loj.it; in.
The President was authorized to
proceed with the survey and location
of the Road and to put the same un
der contract, without delay. This was
dons by W. W. White, as Chief Engin
eer, assisted by W. R. Hunt and F. H.
and G. D. Harris, under the observa
tion and direction of the Piesident.—
The location first made, was placed on
the North side of the Etowah River,
crossing it below, and near the mouth
if Raccoon Creek, thence up the valley
Euharlee to the Slate Quarries, in Polk
Couuty. This was the location when
tho contiact was made. Another
Route, crossing the River near the
crossing of Pettit’s Creek, and passing
down the River through the Rowland
bottom, thence crossing the Raccoon
near its mouth, intersecting the other
Route, near this point, had been sur
veyed.
The apprehension of danger from
overflows in the Rowland Bottom, and
t' e necessity for a 2JO foot span
Bridge, at tho River crossing, with
other considerations, determined the
choice of the first named location.—
Alter the contract was made, the con
tractors urged the location made
through the Rowland Bottom. The
Chief Engineer advised it, and it was
adopted. The profiles are filed in the
office for your inspection.
. CONTRACT MADE.
The President proceeded at once iu
an effort to put the Road under con
tract. The resources of the Company
were the Stock, with about fifteen
(ho sand dollars paid iu, the State’s
aid and certain facilities promised by
the Western & Atlantic Railroad.
There was no money in our country
to build a Railroad. The Stockhold
ers had none. The only hope was to
move on foreign capital, and men to
take hold of, and carry out the enter
prise. Afier six months of persistent
and laborious otfort in the midst of
much baffling, false promises, disap
pointments and vexations delays, we
negotiated a contract with Messrs.
Beach, Alton & Company, who were
represented to us as reliable men, and
competent. After appointing seveial
times to meet ns here, to begin the
woik, th- y finally, on the day last
appointed to be here, failed to come,
but sent Messrs. Layman, Baum &
Rubbiu3, who they advised us, had en
gaged to execute their contract, and
would build the Road, and were re
sponsible men.
These parties came, but finally de
dined to execute th© contract of Beach,
Alton it Cos., but made propositions on
their own account. These were, as we
thought, excessive, but being here in
person, and represented as responsible,
reliable men, proposing to build the
road, and that without delay, the great
anxiety of all induced us to give up all
for the prospect of building the Road.
Hence, we gave up all, and promised
what we did not have in money and
Stock. This they were ad\ised of.
and gave us as a part of the contract,
a protection and immunity, in case we
should be lacking in thvse matters.—
This contract is herewith submitted.
This was done ou the fourth day of
November 1869.
In making the first contract with
Beach, Alton & Cos., there was a stipu
lation that wo should take the work
in our own hands, and at a specified
sum per mile, in cash, complete it.—
Otu* object in thi* was first, to make the
budding of the Road sura Secondly,
to see that the laborers and those who
furnished material, should receive their
pay. Our experience had taught us
the necessity of this, aud how to so
curo it. This feature of the contract,
we had to give tip to the successors.
Expecting to do the work, and
knowing the country {and resources of
labor, <fec., we had prepared ourselves
with a schedule of overseers, and em
ployees offering to do the work. To
speed the work and facilitate those
contractors, viz: - Messrs. Laman, Baum
& Robbins wo furnished all
to them. We now expected
prompt work. We were again disap
pointed; for after waiting on the con
| U'aofcors several weeks after their ro
t tiyp to New York, they advised us of
a dis&jreeaaenfc between themselves, in
consequence o f which Mr. R >bbins
would reti e. This was very discoura
ging. Fortunately, however, after
some time th y*n eres «and .Messrs. J.
Ed wine Conan t and Judge Avery, of
New York, and H. L Kimball, of At
lanta. Geo., Messrs. Con ant and Kim
ball, we wore properly advised of, to
be gentlemen of ch aracter, qualifica
tions, and means, with power to com
mand means. Much to our relief, they
adopted the contract in December last,
and fori ally ratified it in Januaiy
thereafter.
PROGRESS OF THE WORK.
Early in January last, the work com
menced and saving a ft w oversights
and mistakes has progressed with effi
ciency to date. I submit herewith
the reports of the Chief Engineer, W.
W. White, showing the progress to
date thereof. Finding it necessary the
President relieved Col. W. AV, White,
as Chief Engineer, and appointed Col.
Lellardy chief engineer—a gentleman
of great experience, known qualifica
tions, and high character, with W. R.
Hunt as resident Engineer. The re
ports of the Chief Engineer, Col. Eu
gene EeHardy, and also that of Mr.
Win R. Hunt, Hesident Engineer ire
herewith submitted.
PRESENT STATE OF THE WORK.
The track is laid to the River, thx*ee
miles and three quarters, and a con
struction train furnished by the W. &
A. li. R., runs to that point. The
abutments of the bridge are being
built and tiie bridge is ready to put
over, when the abutments may be
complete. The greater part of the
grading has been completed to the
quarries at Van Wert. Depot locations
have been selecte.l a t Sunnsville’s,
Deaton’s and at the quarries. The
two first have been selected to meet the
lumber trade, aud will be laid off with
ample ground to frame the largest size
bridge,for Railroad purposes. That at
the quarries has been selected to meet
the views of the State, and other im
portant mineral in teres* s. In connec
tion with this C.»l. Seaborn Jones, the
Proprietor, has laid off Lots for a town
which must gr >.v up there on the main
fine, and become th ; m >st important
ou the li: 11 -boa itif il and imposing.
RIGHT OF WoY.
The right of way has been secured
through mt the line of Road with very
slight exceptions. Some difficulties
were pr .-sen ted in particular localities;
these h ve been adjusted. And as the
benefiti of the Road shall become
more apparent, we hope all will be sat
isfied.
TK2A SUP. Eli’s REPORT.
The T amui er’s R sport is concisely
prepared, to which your attention will
be invited.
PROSPECT* OF THE ROAD.
These are brightening daily. New
and increasng resources cf Slate and
Iron are being developed on the line,
and in the vicinity of Van Wert which
will justify the extension of every fa
cility of transportation allowed by the
charter. These, we doubt not, your
board will afford
The prospect of Iron Products, Ag
ricultural Products, Mineral Products,
and Manufacturing Products, exceed
any estimate heretofore put on them.
These will make the road pay well and
it will be a great contributor to the
State Road.
EXTENSION EAST AND WEST
The Board of Directors have resolv
ed to apply for the State’s aid, for the
extensions. They think that the State
has such great interest in these that
none will doubt the policy, and that
therefore it will be granted.
This will insure the extensions
promptly made. It will develope vast
interests and begin anew era in the
history of our State.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted by

Stay on Executions. —We have al
ready published a paragraph announc
ing that Gen. Terry had declined to
approve the resolution adopted by the
Legislature relative to the stay of. ex
ecutions on all claims prior to June,
1860. Tee subjoined correspondence
between a member of the Bar of this
city and Gen. Terry confirms the pre
vious announcement:—Ex.

To Col. J. IT. Taylor, A. A. General de

Sir: It is a matter of controversy
among the legal profession of this city
as to whether the General Command
ing has complied with the request of
the Georgia Legislature relative to
the stay of executions on all matters
prior, to June, 186 5. I have
concluded, therefore, to apply to
Headquarters for positive information
on the subject. If such order has
been issued it will come within your

Prolamullon Again*! The Fe
nians.
Washington, May 24, P. M.—The
President has issued a-proclation Bet
ting fortii that it has come to his
knowledge that sundry illegal military
enter prizes and expenditures are on
foot within the United States, with the
view of carrying on the same against
the ] eople and district of Canada,
within the dominions of Queen Victo
ria, with whom the United States are
at peace. The President, therefore,
has admonished all good citizens of the
United States, and all persons within
the jurisdiction of the same, against
aiding, countenauceing, abetting, or
taking part in such unlawful proceed
ings, and warns all persons that by ]
committing such illegal acts they for
feit all rights of protection from this
government, or to its interference in
their behalf to rescue them from the
consequences of their own act. He al
so enjoins all officers of the United
States to employ all lawful authority j
to prevent and defeat the aforesaid
proceedings, and to arrest and bring j
ta justice all persons who may be en- j
gaged therein.
Invasion of Canada Probable.
Buffalo, May 21.—There is some
activity among the Fenian leaders.—
Men are being quietly concentrated at

We arc pleased to chronicle the fact
that our town guardians have enclos
ed that dangerous cellar. Commenda
ble. Now fix the street at the Baptist
Church, and our town will be in a pass
able condition.
We record with grateful hearts, that
wo Lave had good seasons all over the
the country. Oats have recuperated
wonderfully, and will make a good
yield.
Corn and cotton are vieing with each
other to see which can outgrow'.
Wheat is good and will soon be ready
for the “harvest home.”
Farmers all at work with energy.—
Trade dull—cotton 19 cts; will decline.
Sell out the old; make ready for the
new. Goods, cheap and in great de
mand. Cartersville is the place to get
good bargains. People are finding it
out, and are coming a long distance to
exchange produce and greenbacks for
goods. When we get our Rail Road
extended to the North Carolina line,
this will bo the point for all the peo
ple on the line to do their buyiug and
sel'ing. Prospects for our Station are
bright.
Remember that our next prayer
meeting will be held at the Baptist
Church, Wednesday night. Let all
those who believe in prayer be on hand
to endorse it with their presence.
Let not onr manufacturers abandon
the idea of that Car Factory it will be
the succes of our station.
The Bartow House as kept by Guth

BEAUTIFUL. WOHE.X.
All women know that it Is beauty, rather than genius,
which all generations of m.n have worshipped in the
**x. Can it be wondered *t. then, that so much of
woman's time and attention should be directed tu the
means of developing and preserving thst beauty !
Womej know, toe, that when men speak of the Intel
lect of w mien, they Ipeak critically, tamely, eoo.ly ;
but whin they come to speak of the charms of a beau'
tifal woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be profound
ly, if not. Indeed, ridiculously in earnest it is part
of the natural sagaci y of women to perceive all this,
and therefore employ every allowable art to become
the goddess of that adoration. Preach to the cen
tiary, as we may, against the arts employed by wo
men for enhancing their beauty, there etlil tta-ds the
eternal fact, that the world does not prefer the sei !-
ety of an ngly woman of genius to that of a beauty
of less intellectual acquirements. The world has yet
allowed no higher mission to women than to be beau
tiful, and it would seem that the ladiea ot tho pres
ent age are carrying this Idea of the world to greater
extremes than ever, for ail women now to whom na
ture has denied the tallsmanlc power of beauty, sup
ply the deficiency by the use of a most delightful toll
et article, known a* the “Bloom of Youth,” which ha g
been lale'y Introduced into th's country by GEORGE
W. Laird, a delicate beautiier, which smooths 01 1
all indentations, furrows, scars, >'tmorlt g tan, freck
les, and discolorations from the skin, leaving the com
plexion clear, brilliant, and beautiful, the akin soft
and smooth. With the assistance of this new Ameri
can trick of a Lady's toilet, female beauty is destined
to play a larger part In the admiration of mea and
the ambition of women than all (he arts employed
since her creation. Prof. C. F. Chandler, Chemist
to the Metropolitan Board of Health, has recently
prepared a chemical analysis of this delightful toilet
preparation,and reported that the ‘‘Bloom of Yeuth”
was harmless, containing nothing injurious te the
health. Ladles need have no fear of asing this inval
able toilet acquisition.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
4 A dressing which
is at onoe agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color ,
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where tho follicles arc destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness bv this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pa6ty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean ana vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous, and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.
