YELLOW FEVER. We deeply sympathize with the un fortunate people living in the plague stricken cities. No greater calamity, m the shope of disease, can befall a country than this baleful epidem ; c.- Already subscriptions are being taken for the relief of the sufferers. Reports of the health officers disclose the fact that the fever is more fatal to foreigns ers or unacclimated persons and chil dren, and that it yields more readily to treatment when natives are affect 'd. We earnestly hope that a kind Provi dence will spare these unhappy people from a furiher visitation. NORTH GEORGIA STOCK & FAIR ASSOC 5 AT I ON. We have received from B. W. Wrenn, Secretary, a premium list of the North Georgia Stock and Fair Association.— 'Hie Fair this fall will, doubtless, be a grand success, judging from the liber al premiums offered, which amount in the aggregate to $14,000.. We regret to notice, that it is to be held in Atlanta just the week preced ing th ? State Fair to be hold in Macon, and fear that it may tend to detract from the interest of the latter in the northern part of the State. This vve should regret very much, as the State Fairs seem now to be among the most potent instrumentali ties in the land to impel our farmns, stock raisers and mechanics forward to greater exertions in the rapid and wonderful progress now being made in these departments. Any informa tion in reference to this Association may bo had by addressing the Sec* rotary at Atlanta, Ga. LETTER from MONTGOMERY Crops, Politics, &c. Mount Vernon, Ga., Aug. 17, *7B. Mr. Editor —As you have solicited me several times to give you the dots from our section, provided you will forgive all errors and pardon all mis takes, I now promise to do so. As to crops, I greatly fear that too much drouth in the first instance and too much rain in the second, will very materially injure us. Cotton is cut off one-third, if Dot more, and a great quantity of fodder will be lost. Other crops arc doing well. As to politics, there is some excite ment. Wc held our county meeting or convention on the sth inst., at this place, and I conscientiously believe that the tiling went off half-cocked.— Through the influence of a few, mo tions were made and hurriedly pressed through without the people's due con sideration or reflection} and while lam perfectly satisfied that the true and no ble Cook, who has represented us so faithfully and so honestly in the pist, would to-day get a two third majority in this (Montgomery) county, yet I am fearful he will not get the vote in the Congressional convention. I lion" estly believe,, siiq that Gen. Cook is the choice of the county over any other man. Ills record in .Congress stands before us, and the whole people of Georgia, as pure, as unspotted and un stained as any man that ever represent ed a Congressional District in the Em pire State. My opinion, and the opin* ion of many with whom I have con versed. is, that (inasmuch as wo have found in Gyn. Cook an able represen tative—one though weighed down with the cares of the great and important issues constantly coming before that august body, of which be is a.member, still ever prompt and willing, to attend to the wishes of the humblest petition er amongst his constituents) we should give him our support, our.suffrage, our encouragement, and let hint go Hack to Congress and go on in the noble work of uprooting Radicalism, or Grantism—tearing it trom its hellish throne —sinking it into utter oblivion, and if possible easting it into the deep est, darkest, blackest confines of per dition. None has been found more zealous in this cause—none other more earnest and assiduous in effecting this grand object than Grn. Philip Cook, and I repeat that it it was left to the voice of Montgomery county to-day Cook would be a mem ber of the next Congress. Yours, respectPy, ‘'fins Fide or the Feint. 1 ' LETTER FROM MARIETTA. Chattanooga—Lookout Mountain --Wonderful Sights and Beau tiful Scenery—Marietta, Etc, Mr. Editor— After a stay of more than two weeks at Catoosa Springs,we took our leave on the morning of the 12th inst., fer Lookout Mountain, one of the most attractive objects in the world. \Ye reached Chattanooga at 11:10 a. m., and in about an hour thereafter we were en route for the mountain top, — The distance from.base to summit is only two-and-a-half miles, and yet our team was halted sixteen times to rest, so steep and rugged is the ascent. Once on the top, wo were soon reg istered at Cottage Home, Mr. G. S. Ru ble, proprietor, where we were served with one of the best meals It had been our pleasure to enjoy since leaving home. Dinner over, we started for Lover’s Leap Umbrella Rock, Point Lookout, Saddle Reck, and Grand View. L iter in the afternoon we visited Rock City, the greatest of all natural curiosities yet discovered, and which must be seen to be appreciated. Y/e spent the night on the mountain, and the next morning went to see the Natural Bridge, Tele phone Rock, the Old Man of the Moun tain and Lulu Lake. As someone has sauL “it is doubtful whether the seen* ic, historic, commercial or pleasure* giving attractions presented here with in so small a compass can be surpass ed, if equaled in the world." To give a minute and satisfactory description of these wonders of nature is utterly impossible. One feels very much as did a young lady who, upon leaving home for Niagara Falls, promised to write back to friends and give an ex act and lengthy account of what she saw. Upon reaching the Fall she e"s* saved the task, and pen in hand she wrote as follows : “On! oh !! oh!!!' ; signed her name and mailed the glow ing description. We returned to Chattanooga in the afternoon of the 13tlq where we rested for the night at the Read House. On Wednesday we came to Si arietta, Twenty miles north of Atlanta*, on the Western & Atlantic R. R. Commissioner Jar'es in his Manual of Georgia puts the population of Ma rietta at 2,512. There are tvvofiist* class hotels, one bank," six churches, two weekly papers th'rty stores, four physicians and fourteen lawyer?. Kennesaw Mountain is the principal object of interest near the city and is about 2 000 feet above life level of the sea. In the eastern part of the (Tty is the National Military Cemetery, in which are interred ten thousand and ninety six Federal soldiers. South of the Court House ;s the Confederate Cemetery, where rests four thousand of ‘Tmr fallen braves.' The one is handsomely and expen sively kept by appropriations from the public treasury ; the other entirely neglected by “the best government the world ever saw?” In visiting tlu se places o'ne must look well to ids “re* construction," lost it comes untwisted. The business of Marietta is said to be about one million dollars annually. The Kenitesaw flouring mills—the largest and most complete in the State -—do a business approximating three hundred thousand dollars. For healthful uess, intellectual cult* ure, social and moral refinement, Ma* rietta compares favorably with any city in the whole country. Our party are all highly pleased with the place, and if circumstances allow ed wc would gladly prolong our stay We leave on the 19th for east Geor gia, from whence you miy again hear from us. Occasional. Aug. 17, 1878. Col. Thornton and White! aw Reid. To the Editor ot the Tribune—Dear Sir : Inasmuch as you were so kind to publish my private note, written to you individually wherein I requested the nanie of the author of a letter from this city to the Tribune about hide* pendents in Georgia and published on the 3d, I respectfully request (hot you pub ish this in your paper. The author of that letter is a liar and a villain. Respectfully^ M. E. Thornton. Atlanta, Ga , Aug. 12. 1873. F.

If year author, who states that 1 have no standing in the community, is re sponsible, let him come to the front. Or will you hold your* self responsible ? Respectfully, M. E- T. [CertahdVj Thornton. On the strength of your correspondence we cheerfully assume the ‘responsibility.’ You are not the “butt of the town," as that reckless cot respondent called you. You are merely the blue ribbon donkey of tfie empire State of the sunny South.—Ed. New York Tribune. Count*uf< it half and >liurs in circulation in Aug ista. OUR PARIS LETTER. Echoes from Paris—S we<li sli Nightingales— Napoleon’s “Or ganizer of Victories**—What tlie Ladies Admire—One Tliou- J * v sand Dollars a Day for Board. From our regular correspondent. Paris, Aug 9, 1878. The growling on the part of the ex hibitors has diminished since the num ber of prizes has been doubled by sun* ply reducing the gold, and silver med als onehalf in size. Only two competitor thus exist for a champion honor. Inter national exhibition rewards are thus condemned to be about as awe-res pecting as a French baron, a German count, or a diploma obtained fro n a university where the bursar regulates the examinations. Scandinavia has sent quite a cloud of nightingales to warble at. the Troc* adero, which they do well, and above all cheaply. The men wear white caps, and are to be found isolated in nil quar ters of Paris ; so* far resembling the male nightingale, whose characteristic is, according to naturalists to rove.— The Scandinavians have this common with the Saxon race —they take their pleasure sadly. The Ethnographical meet* ings are much followed, and the open ing speech by Senator Cavnot, son ot Napoleoids of victories/' treated more of brains than of skulls, lie thinki moderns are behind Confu cius in the art of governing whose maxim was “love thou but even in China, they Were only the phil osophers who ealaamed this doctrine ; tue Hebrews he said inculcated “love your neighbor”—provided they were not your inferiors nor impure. “Uhris -tianiiy/' said love for humanity without exception, and practices it. The French were sorely tried when studying the skulls of He brews” and waxfigures ot their own ers, as (ft and proper persons to be en dowed with RousseauYs rights of man, -and Lamartine's Universal suffrage vote ;1 they are the aboriginals'of New Caledonia, who have just massacred and eaten some soldiers and commun ists in training to cease to do evil, and learning to do well. The French statuary, by its numbers • and the variety of its styles and sub jects, is considered the best. Tue finest shawls are still made, is of yore, in the beautiful valley o( Cash mere, the Oriental Eden, which is shut by the precipitous mountains from all surrounding countries. The Cashmer inn is industrious, intelligent and live ly It is Cnly in Cashmere that pro* auction is organized on principles near ly akin to the economical plan of En* rope. The shawl is> the pride and glory of the country' neatly the entire pop* ulation being engaged in its produc* tion. The goats of Thibet, from which tremendous steeps seperates it on the north, supply the silky wool which atone is used in the tissue ; none other can surpass, none other has yet equal* led it. in softness. The downy sub* stance found next the skin, and is of exquisite fineness. So jealous is the Maharajah of Cashmere to maintain his reputation, that lie has recently taken steps to prevent any deteriora tion in the quality of the shawls man ufactured. The Indian display of the articles is exceedingly fine, and of great value. Almost every civilized country in the world produces the article called lace —the most difficult arid lelicate re* suit of skilled labor. These are, how* ever, only two or three countries that have given any original impulse to the trade. The others have simply fo 1 low ed in the trains of events, taking what they have done as a model, and imitat ing it to tlie best advantage. To the two countries, France and Belgium, belongs the credit of prosecuting this trade with vigor. The laces of Alencon and Brussels are of so complicated a nature that each process is assigned to a different lace maker, who works only at her special department. Formerly a piece of Alencon lace would pass through eighteen hands before completion ; that is now somewhat diminished. A alcn* cienncs lace 'S also oi most elaborate workmanship : the pattern and ground arc made together, with same thread on the same pillow. A few years since Paris enjoyed the monopoly of furniture dc luxe, but al* though it is still the most important centre for the manufacture of French furniture, several large firms have been established at Lyons, Bordeaux, Mar* seilles, Nantes, Toulouse, &c. There are about 27,000 furniture makers in France, and between 4000 and 5000 pro lueing firms. Indigenous woods, such as beech, oak deal and walnut wood are used in the cheaper kinds of cabinet work; mahogany, rosewood, bois de livlettc; are employed in more expensive furniture. There is a strike at tlie Exhibition. The neat-handed Phillises employed to wait upon the guests at the Restau rant Duval have struck against some interference with the gratuities which they receive from the visitors'. There are 250 employed in the establish ment. A great deal has been said and writ ten about the expense of living in Paris at the present moment, and the extortionate instincts of hotel-keepers have bden much dilated upob. Proba bly no one has felt lids more acutely than IPs Imperial .Majesty the Shah who, before leaving Paris, had to set" tie several hold bills of considerable length. The account of the Grand Hotel alone amounted to 76,00 francs, which was at the rate of 3,454 francs per diem; Out at Fontainebleau, where His Majesty stay was the shortest, the Charlies were preposterous. There the bill amounted to 14,200 fr., but after long negotiations it was reduced to 9,000 fr. Alpha, THE FEVER FRIGHT!. Reports from all Infected Quar ters. Yellow fever, which has been raging iri New Orleans and other place tor several weeks with fearful destruction, seems to be still on the increase. We give the following, which we clip from the Atlanta Constitution, as our latest information : New Orleans, Aug. 18.— The follow, ing is the feyeV report for the past 24 hours : New cases, 115-; deaths, 47. New Orleans, An. 19. —New cases of fever to-day, one hundred and twenty nine ; deaths, 42. Vicksburg, Aug. 19.—Forty-eight .cases fever under treat hent at Seven o'clock last nignt and the new cases to-day are estimated at fifteen or twenty. Memphis, Aug. 18.—Total cases to date are about 100, deaths 20. Of those now sick about one-third are convalescent. Memphis, Aug. 19.—Up to noon 8 new cases were reported. Of these 6 are within the infected district, 1 near the Charleston depot- and one Henry Schultz. The indications are that the fever is spreading. Grenada, Aug. IS.-—The death list for the past 24 hours has decreased to 8, being nine less than the previous 24 hours with only nine new cases for lack of material. One week ago this town contained 1 200 white per sons. They are now reduced by flight and death to 200, with only 30 or 40 well ones. The total number of deaths up to ten o'clock last night was sixty three. Aug. 19.—A special dis patch from Grenada to-night says that sixty-five deaths have occurred up to date at Grenada. One hundred are sick at present. New cases yesterday fourteen. That Greenback Party. Under this head the Albany News talks to the point as follows : It's a humbug ; it's a myth:. It has no bottom, and is merely an association of political bummprs who' cannot hope to control the suffrage of either Demo crats or Republicans, and who are at tempting to soft soap unsuspecting voters and rob them of their fran chise. They have promised to do that which is irflpracticable, impossible and ab surd. Every good and sound feature contained in their doctrine has been enunciated in the platform of the Dem ocratic party, an 1 if they meant to accomplish anything for the good of the people they would join the party which declares opposition to Republi can villainy. The position taken by this fraudu lent wing of discontents is fitly illus trated in the case of George, a leading colored politician in Lee county.- George is a chronic candidate for the Legislature. His pla*fbrm is as fol lows : ‘l'm gwiuter pass a law fur do gubner to pay ebery man SIOO when ne gits a mule stole; $5 when a nigger takes his hog or cow; and I'm gwinter bust up the penitentiary expense, and turn de thieves loose to grieve ter doff over 'morse of conscience. CJogratulates Georgia. The Philadelphia Times lias the fol lowing to say in regard to our State and Legislature, and also General Gor don : “The Georgia Legislature which was chosen at the time the new constitu tion was adopted last December, and which will meet in November next, will have the selection of a successor to General Gordon in the United States Senate. As might be expected there has been no talk of opposition to the return of Gordon to his own seaty and his re-election is assured by the lact that a hundred and seventeen members of the Legislature have declared for him. This is a clear majority, and it is not premature to congratulate Geor gia on tlie result.'

We clip the following communica tion from the Savannah News of this week, and as it is on a rather novel subject, we think it quite interesting: “Tfie harrowing account of the con dition of a family in Harris street, which appeared in your issue of yes terday, recalls a visit to the Lunatic Asylum several years ago, which flliis tiates the subduing power of music over tbe disturbed brain. One of our party was quite anxious to meet again an old schoolmate who had been for several months an inmate. Tfie physi cian in charge spoke doubtfully ot her willingness to appear. As wc walked through the hall leading to the parlor, the doors of the rooms on either eitle, occupied by inmates, stealthily opened and cautiously they peered out at ns. But as We came near, the doors were slammed with and scold ings from within were heard. Not one of them could be prevailed on by the doctor to enter the parlor. He then suggested that if seme one would play on the piano, which stood open, they would come. Accordingly a lady tremblingly seated herself at the instru ment and commenced u soft prelude. — Very soon light footsteps were heard, and one after another they entered) gliding in silently. At last the young lady who had angrily resisted all en treaties to er.teijWalked in with a most winning gfnee up to the piano, which w 7 as most quickly deserted, and com menced playing one of the tunes G those by-gone days. She recognized her friend and sang for her. As the music ceased the inmates left and again the doors were slammed. I only men tion this, hoping it may prove sugges live in future cases.' llaliiel."
