The Chancellor of the University
spent several days in Cartersville,
week before last, forming the ac
quaintanceship of our people and
looking into the condition of this re
gion in reference to the interests of
the Agricultural College. Rarely
has a visitor been in our midst who
has made so favorable an impression
upon our community, lie was more
than charmed with the beautiful
scenery cf our romantic and fertile
valleys, and firmly impressed with
the agricultural and mineral advan
tages which met his observation.
Extending his trip to Van Wert he
also had an opportunity to examine
into that region so remarkable for its
varied and inexhaustible' resources
of wealth and manufactures, and its
untold mines of minerals, and was
surprised at the variety its marvel
lous treasures.
While here he pleached two able
and most interesting sermons before
the Methodist congregation, deeply
impressing his hearers, and leaving
behind him an influence more than
ordinarily good. We learn that the
Chancellor is much encouraged by
the reception which he met from all
parties while on his visit to the up
country, in relation to the contem
plated Agricultural College, students
fn many instance being ready, and
others proposing to go to Athens as
soon as operations shall begin and
large offering lnm a
hearty and enthusiastic approbation
and indorsement in this “JjJ 5 ™

ests of the State.
CHEROKEE COUNTY SKETCHES.
it r H. BREWSTER
NO. I.
; Our father removed from Gwinnett
I county, and settled in Cherokee!n the
- winter of 1834. We were quite a
small lioy at that time, but many
things which occurred then are more
distinctly remembered than a great
many events which have transpired
more recently. We remember the
novelty incident to the journey from
1 the one county to the other, and
thought it was a very long one. W e
! remember ramping the night after
| starting in anew log cabin, in which
there was no floor. We slept among
the sleeper*, and our repose was sweet
and refreshing.
Early the next morning we resumed
our journey westward, and ere the
dose of the day we arrived at “Down
ing’s ferry,” where Field’s bridge now
stands. Then we saw for the first
time the beautiful Etowah river,
which lias been so familiar ever since,
and there ujxtn its banks, we saw the
first indians we ever beheld, and look
ed uj>on those strange beings with
feelings of mingled fear and wonder.
In a short time after crossing the riv
er we reached our destination, some j
double-log cabins, within whose
humble walls we were to live. Those
cabins stood near where Mr. James
McKinney now resides, and there we ,
spent a great portion of that period
which is usually called “ happy child
hood.” But our experience is, thatno
stage of life is entirely exempt from!
sorrow and care. We had our little j
troubles then, and they were as bur-
I thensomc perhaps as greater ones are
j now. But there are many pleasant
reminisences connected with the
days of our childhood and early youth.
We remember many happy scenes
which occurred on the beautiful lawn,
in the tangled wiki wood, on the banks
of the river, and around the cheerful
fire-side; and many other things
which were not so pleasant, have also
a place on memory’s page. Only a
few of those scenes we propose to men
tion in these rough drawn sketches,
as we pass along.
The “cold Saturday” occurred in
the winter of 1834, and made some
impression on the writer. The river
was frozen from bank to bank, and
our father having just opened a ferry,
below Downing’s, we remember that
it was necessary to cut the ice away
from the flat and across the river, in
in order to pass over.
We remember gathering quantities
of “ hog” potatoes which were thrown
out in digging down the banks of the
river, in order to open the ferry ; and
those native tubers were not entirely
unpalatable when roasted. We have
since often thought that they might
be rendered valuable by cultivation.
There was also a weed which we call
ed the “stinging nettle” which was
very abundant in those river bottoms
at that time. This weed we think is
the same as the celebrated “ramie
plant,” which has been attracting a
good deal of attention of late years,
and which promises to be a valuable
acquisition to agriculture and com
merce. Our father having noticed
that the bowstrings used by the indi
ans were remarkably strong, was led
to enquire what they were made of;
and being shown the plant used for
the purpose, made some experiments
in a small way, and communicated
the result to the principal agricultu
ral journal which was then published
in the State. Thirty years afterwards
the article was republished. Wheth
er the discovery of the ramie plant is
due to that article we are not entirely
certain, but we are inclined to think
that it is. Our father died soon after
the publication of the article. If lie
lmd lived, he perhaps would have
continued and perfected his experi
ments.
For several years, our home was in
the wilds of Cherokee, there being
scarcely another white family nearer
than Canton, a distance of six miles.
Often the lonely stillness of the night
was broken by the yell of the indian,
the sharp bark of the fox, and the
howl of the wolf. It would seem that
those were fearful times, but we chil
dren thought we were safe, even when
our father was absent, under the pro
tection of our mother, who possessed
an unusual amount of courage and
presence of mind. More than once
we were warned that a certain night
had been appointed by the indians to
kill us all, but mother would tell us
there was no danger, and our fears
were put to rest. Our father was of
ten absent on business, but our red
neighbors entertained towards him a
feeling not only of respect but of awe,
and this had a wholesome influence
over them. He often flogged them,
afid thus taught them the importance
of good behavior.
A CARD.
Glen Holly, Ga., \
April 20, 1872. j
Editors Standard <t- Express. —ln
your paper of the 18tli I see what as
sumes to be a report of a Committee
at the Annual Stockholders’ meeting
of the Cherokee Railroad Company.
It abounds with misstatements, er
rors in fact, and misrepresentations.
It is gotten up for a particular pur
pose, subservient to the feelings and
interest of a feM T persons, whose hopes
of success rest on it. I yield to the
voice of a friendly counsellor, and for
the present decline to reply to it. I
expect a better opportunity. The
reply is at hand, and it will put
some parties to shame. Not I, but
truth will do it. I will present it not
in anger; lam above that. Not in
revenge; that belongs not to me, but
to another.
For the present I simply say, First, j
The report is not what it purports to
be. Secondly, It is founded in Error,
proceeds in Error, leads to Error, and
ends in a gross perversion of Truth
and Justice. Thirdly, By an im
proper collocation of facts, and a sup
pression of Truth it tends to mislead
the inquirer for Truth. Fourthly,
The end and aim of it are to take from '
me what justly belongs to me, and
has been by me dearly purchased, and
at a single grasp gather it to those
who never paid a single dime for it,
and have always recognized me as its
owner until now. In due time this
will all appear. Respectfully,
MARK A. COOPER.
It now turns out that the Federal
Government cleared about eight mill
ions of dollars in the illegal sale of
arms to the French Republic. This
modest little sum, it appears, did not
get exactly into the Treasury, but was
used, it is alleged, for current expen
ses of the War Department. Mr.
Secretary Belknap will now have a
chance to let the country know how
the money was expended, who got it,
and by what authority it was disburs
ed. Let us have light.—Nar. News.
The Philadelphia Age thinks In
vestigating Committes have done

CHARLESTON STRAW HERBIES I>'
NEW TORE.
The World, of Sunday, says:
The first shipment of strawberries
from the South was received yester
day by steamer from Charleston, S. C.
They are of anew variety which will
stand the length of time in transpor
tation. The wholesale price realized
for them was $2 50@|8 per quart.
But for a late frost they would have
reached here early in March. Charles
ton last year sent to this market
' about 10,000 quarts of strawberries,
and with this new variety it is ex
peceted that the future crop will be
largely increased. The first shipment
last year was received on the 22nd of
March.
DECISION ON THE RELIEF LAW.
The case of the Macon and Augusta
Railroad vs. Executor W. J. Eve
and executors Turner Clanton, was
decided in the Superior Court in Au
gusta on Thursday. These suits were
brought by the company to recover
unpaid subscriptions to its stock.
Defendants plead the Relief Law of
1870. A number of similar cases are
landing in that county, and in all
the counties through which the road
passes, and the amount involved is
la-tween two and three hundred thou
sand dollars. The ease was argued in
chambers, and the decision rendered
Thursday in favor of the defendants,
the suits la-ing dismissed under the ;
relief law. We get this information
■ from the Augusta Chronicle.
ANOTHER ADVANCE IN IRON.
The leading dealers have advanced
the price of iron to sllO per ton, in
consequence of the advance recently
made by the manufacturers, and
makes, since last November, when
iron was selling at $72 50 per ton, a
total advance of $35 per ton. In this
connection it is stated that a prelimi
nary meeting of the iron men of Staf
fordshire, England, will be held on
the 20th of this month, at which it
will probably be decided to advance
iron one pound sterling at their regu
lar quarterly meeting on the Ist of
May. The effect of such an advance,
as well as the advance in the United
States, can only result in a still fur
ther advance of all foreign and do
mestic products of iron. At this rate,
nails and such tilings will be an ex
pensive necessity, and nobody pre
tends to predict where or when this
altitudinous state of things will end.
A DEAD LOCK AT GENEVA.
The telegrams annouce every thing |
in Geneva at a standstill, awaiting {
the reply from America to the last |
English note, and nothing is antici
pated in that reply which will enable
the board of arbitration to continue
its session. The treaty is, in fact,
gone up, and probably little more
will be said or done until after the
Presidential election. The English
government will take the chances for
the election of a President uncommit
ted to the claim for indirect and con
sequential damages, and the topic
will naturally find some place in the
Presidential election of next fall.
Meanwhile, however, the adminis
tration, it is thought, has discovered
some disposition to find a pretext for
abating the rigorous pretensions of
their case. A prominent administra
tion member of the House has lately
introduced into that body a series of
preambles and resolutions in which
the House assumes the responsibility
of advising the administration to
come down off the indirect damage
perch, and as it was merely a House
resolution, no doubt the idea was that
it could be forced through without
loss of time; but it stuck on the way,
and therefore the Cabinet cannot run
under this shelter at present.—Tele

AFFAIRS IN ILLINOIS.
On Wednesday last Governor Pal
mer, of Illinois, published a letter
giving the reasons why he declined
to be a candidate for renomination
before the Republican State Conven
tion. He could not submit his claims
to that convention, because its nomi
nees must necessarily be committed
to Grant. Governor Palmer takes
exception to measures of the Admin
istration and opposes the renomina
tion of General Grant, who, he says,
has not the inclination and ability to
enforce economy and reform the Gov
ernment.
The call which has finally been
made public endorsing the principles
put forth by the Liberal Republicans
of Missouri is signed by three or four
hundred of the most prominent Re
publicans of Illinois. The call sug
gests that the citizens of Illinois pres
ent at Cincinnati select a due propor
tion of their number to represent the
State in the convention. —Telegraph &
Messenger.
PENNSYLVANIA’S GUBERNATORIAL
DIFFICULTY—WHAT HER CON
GRKSSMKX SAY.
The Herald’s (Grant’s organ) Wash
ington correspondent, writes that
some of the leading Republicans in
Congress from Pennsylvania declare
openly that the nomination of Gener
al Hartranft for Governor was so un
fortunate that his defeat and the pos
sible defeat of Grant in the State are
events to be anticipated. They say
there is much discontent in the State,
and that the political “ Ring” which
nominated Hartranft declare that the
administration must carry them
through the fight. “ The State elec
tion,” these politicians say significant
ly, “ comes a month before the Pres
idential election,” thus leaving the in
ference that if Hartranft is not carried
through, the State will go against
Grant.

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
A severe wind and rain storm pass
ed over a portion of South Carolina
on Thursday, by which many houses
were blown down, and much proper
ty destroyed. In Columbia the roof
of the new market was blown off and
the building nearly demolished.
Fences and trees were blown down
and other damages done. At Ches

A dispatch to the Charleston News
says:
The main damage was confined to a
tract about one hundred and fifty

From the Macon Telegraph A- Mes
senger of the 17th we clip the follow
ing:
Colonel John Bom -, son-in-law of
Hon. Joshua Hill, w..ocommanded a
negro regiment during the late civil
war, anil is now enjoying his reward
therefor in the shape of a fat ofliee in
the Savannah Custom-house, and A.

From the Constitution, of the 17th,
we extract the following:
A Radical gathering took place at!
the City Hall Monday night in the !
Council Chamber. The room being I
quite small, was well filled. Every;
Federal office-holder in Atlanta, a few
whites, and a large concourse of ne
groes assembled. At 8 o’clock the
meeting was called to order by W.
Jennings, United States Revenue As
sessor. Volney Spalding, Esq., mov
ed that Henry P. Farrow, United
States District; Attorney, take the
chair. It. T. Simmons, a laboring
man, moved that a “ young man by
the name of Rocafeller” take the
chair, but was squelched by United
States Assessor Jennings, who decided
that United States District Attorney
Farrow was elected chairman, though
the vote sounded strongly in favor of
Rockefeller. \V. Markham moved
that United States Assessor Jennings I
and Finch, colored, be Secretaries.
Much confusion took place, about two !
hundred vociferating at once. James ;
Atkins, of the Savannah Custom
house, moved that a committee of five
be appointed to prepare business for
the meeting. More confusion. R. T.
Simmons made a speech severely de
nunciatory of all office-holders, those
present in particular. Much confu

The Bainbridge Democrat has this :
A negro boy belonging on Col. Sim’s
plantation, near this city, was bitten
on his left arm, near the shoulder,
about dark last Monday by a rattle

Mas considerably swollen in a few
minutes, and the boy deathly sick ;
the pain, however, Mas not intense.
Medical aid was immediately sought,
I and at this writing the boy is in a fair

been older the bite must have been
fatal, for his teeth had to be pulled
from the arm.

Lapaugh was convicted to-day, of
conspiracy and murder, and recom
mended to the clemency of the court
and the executive.
Six prisoners, from Spartanburg,
pleaded guilty of conspiracy.
ALABAMA.
Montgomery, April 22.— . After a
long litigation before Judge Woods,
of the United States Circuit Court, at
Mobile, by W. J. Drake and others,
to set aside the decree of Judge
Eusteed, delaring the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad a bankrupt, it
was decided by Judge Woods last
Saturday that the bankrupt proceed
ings were in a regular form, and he
declined to interfere.
The sale of the road came off - at
this place to-day in pursuance of the
advertisement by the assignees in
bankruptcy. Governor Lindsay
bought the road for the State, and it
gives much satisfaction to the* people
as it is thought it will save the State
from any loss on account of the road.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, April 22. —A liberal Re
publican mass meeting and conven
tion was held at Vicksburg to-day,
and have appointed the following
delegates to the Cincinnati Conven
tion: Captain Fish, Judge Speed and
others.
J udge Jefferds, late of the Supreme
Bench of this State, by military ap
pointment, addressed the Conven
tion, applauding the action of this
and other counties bordering on
Pearl river.
An insect, commonly known as
Buffalo gnats, have attacked the
farm horses and mules, and so severe
that many hundreds have died in
the past few days. Great apprehen
sion is felt on the part of farmers,
very many of whom have no teams
with which to cultivate their crops.
PEN N SYLVAN 1 A.
Philadelphia, April 21.—A
meeting of the Liberal Republicans
appointed a committee of thirteen to
arrange for the Cincinnati trip.
General Thomas said he had labor
ed to build up the Republican party,
but now he was free to say that it
M r as now the most corrupt party on
the face of the earth.
Colonel McClure said the plain
English of the whole thing w r as the
rebellion, and the bringing of it to
the dignity of a revolution. Five
years ago there might have been a
necessity for the exercise of military
authority in the South, but not now.
The speaker differed with President
Grant upon principle. The most
dangerous thing the free institutions
of the country had to meet was the
policy of President Grant to carry
the elections by force of the bayonet.
To his mind the South has been more
desolated since the war than before.
MEXICO.
Matamoras, April 22.—The Sev
enth Cavalry revolted yesterday and
attempted the life of Cortina, who
M-as rescued by the Fourth Regi
ment. Several were killed on both
sides. Six men, taken in the revolt,
were shot by Cartina.
Passengers from Camargo assert
positively that Queeraga is en route
for this city, with about 3,000 men.
The revolutionists here assert that
they will be here with heavy artil
i lery to-morrow. The fortifications
! are" in the best possible condition,
1 and every possible precaution taken
I for resistance.
NEW YORK.
New York, April 18. —The Grant
meeting at Cooper lustilute last night
was jammed. Wm. E. Dodge and
Gen. Sickles were the principal ora
tors.
The Committee of the Georgia
Legislature, who arrived here last
week, for the registration of bonds
here and elsewhere, are busily en
gaged every day discharging their
assigned duties, and thus far have
acted upon over $2,000,000 of Georgia
bonds.
The Committee are very desirous
of securing the attendance of ex-Gov
ernor Bullock, and have made sever
al efforts to that end, but without the
least success. Hearing more than a
month ago that he was in New York,
Messrs. Simmons, Hall and McMil
len wrote from Georgia requesting his
appearance before them when they
would sit in this city during this
month. To this letter Bullock re
plied that he did not think he would
be in New York during April,
as he had business engagements else
where, and therefore could not appear
as requested. He, however, referred
the committee to his attorneys in At
lanta, who could give them as much
information about Georgia bonds as
he could. In consequence, these at
torneys were called upon, but instead
of doing as Bullock said they would,
they repeatedly declared they knew
nothing about the bonds, that they
had simply been retained by Bul
lock to defend him before Georgia
courts in case of arrest and criminal
accusation. This is the nearest the
committee have come in securing
Bullock’s appearance before them.
So desirous indeed are they to secure
the presence of the ex-Governor, that
by their authority the following prop-
cnition is hereby made, that they will
uav his expenses incoming :uid going
from here, and allow him one hun
dred dollars per day besides, while in
attendance should he appear within
the next ten days. The Committee
emphatically deny that they were
ctose , «i with Mr. Henry Clews, late
financial agent of Georgia, in New
York, receiving instructions how to
c induct their investigations.
The Atlanta Sun prints a corre
spondence between a man calling
himself “Professor” Ware, of the
Atlanta negro college, aud Gov. Smith
and Professor W. L. Broun, of the
Agricultural College at Athens.
Ware wanted to know if negvoes
would be admitted to the college.
Gov. Smith’s answer was that in giv
ing the scrip to the University he
took no action and passed upon no
question except what was necessary
to save the scrip to the State, aud that
the question of admitting negroes
had nothing to do with that. Profes
sor Broun replied in substance “that
negroes would not lie admitted under
the present provisional organization.
No United States funds were used,
and, therefore, the negro question
does not properly come up; that the
Legislature or Trustees will decide
the question; and that, as he has no
means of knowing what their action
will be, his opinion will not be of any
value.” Exit Ware, with a flea in liis
ar.
The Constitution. —What the fa
natics intend to do at last with the
Constitution of the United States is
doubtful. Boston, after a heavy
powwow, lias agreed for an amend
ment providing for an “unquestiona
ble basis for Christian education in
our common schools and for every
other Christian feature of our nation
al life.”
The Regular Army.—Grant’s
regular office-holding army numbers
between fifty-one and fifty-two thou
sand office-holders—strong, but not
invincible.
