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 flietr Annual 3&cciiuu is; May \‘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 MARK A. COOPER, President of the Board of Directors, C. k V. W. R. R., Cos. 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. Augusta, Ga., May 21st, 1870. To Col. J. IT. Taylor, A. A. General de partment Georgia: 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 knowledge, aud the information is re spectfully requested from you. Very respectfully, John L. Ellis. Headq’rs Military Dist. of Georoia, ) Atlanta, May 23, 1870. j Respectfully returned to Mr. Ells. — I have not approved and shall not ap proved the resolution within referred to. Alfred H.

The publishers promise a rich and varied programme for the new volume, with many new features. Gen. D. H. Hill says: *We have seen, we think, a large part if not all of the children’s papers in the United States, and we regard Burke's Weekly as superior to them all. In fact, we would rather have it than all of the others combined.” Terms $2 n-3 r enr. J. W. Burke & Cos., publishers, M;ieon, Ga.

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 the rendezvous here. It is impossible to say at this time where the invasion will be made. "The point firstattempt ed may be a blind. It is thought that the frontier is lined with men. It is reported that the United States steam er Michigan has taken up a position at Port Col bone iu order to protect the Welland canal. THE NEW METHODIST BISHOP. The General Conference of the M.

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.

Ayer’s 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. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
