From the Atlanta Constitution.
A letter from tlio Great West- 1
erii Canal Survey.
Atlantic and Great Western Canal , )
In Camp on Yellow River , >
Near Laicrcceville, Ga., Feb 2,’72. )
Editors Constitution: Wo think
it one of our duties, as friends of the
great project in which we are em- .
barked, to inform you from time to
time of our whereabouts and the
sympathy we find with the population
of that part of the country through
which we have been passing. In
doing-so, we are able to present the
best proof of the estimation in which
the enterprise is held by the enlight
ened portion of the people, for we
are not so selfish as to take the many
courtesies we receive as mere person
al compliment—pleasant and flatter
ing as they may be to us personally.
On the contrary, we esteem them
mainly an indication of the deep
interest they have for the success of
one of the grandest enterprises of
the age, and as such we report them
to von.
Having crossed successful the
Chattahoochee plateau and pushed
forward the survey to Craig’s mill
on Yellow river at tho crossing of
the Lawrenceville and Cumming road,
wheiewe were met by gentlemen
from Lawrenceville, and invited to
partake of a supper with them, to be
given on a convenient evening.—
According to this kind invitation,
we left our present camp on the
evening of the 31st ultimo, and after
a two hours’ trip through a fertile
section of country, we arrived in
town, stopping at the Globe Hotel.
The fresh or rather cold weather we
had at the time, made us doubly sensi
ble of the comfort of the warm room
which received us. After a short
stay at the hotel, we were welcomed
and escorted by the representative
gentlemen of the town to the resi
dence of Dr. Russell, where a table
was set for the ■occasion. Upon this
we found the renowned turkey and
all the delieacies the country af
forded. We were also delighted
with the good taste shown in the ar
rangement. Having done justice to
the inner man, we retired to the parlor,
where we were agreeably entertained
by tbe gentlemen -present. This,
however, proved to be only an in
troduction to other pleasures that
awaited us; for whilst we were dis
cussing the topics of the day or other
subjects of general interest, one by
one, or in pairs, the beauties ot the
town, accompanied by gallant escorts,
joined mir company and soon formed
a boquet that would arouse the
jealousy of great cities. As a
matter of course, the younger mem
bers of our corps, and a number of
young gentlemen who had made
their appearance 100 in the mean
while, soon entered into the inspiring
influences of the “Quadrille,” which
was kept, up with but little intermis
sion until mioaight. The older gen
tlemen present, being thus separated
from the rest of tiro company, acted
for a little while as lookers on of the
i lively spectacle and then bv mutual
i consent organized a social circle of
, their own, where the merits of the
; Great Canal subject was discussed
as well as the accempani merits usual
on such occasions. Dr. A. J. Shaffer,
acting president of tho Assembly,
opened the discussion with some very
appropriate remarks in' commenda
tion of the enterprise amd complimen
tary to the engineers and proprietors
of it.
Mrjor MoCalla, our engineer in
charge of survey, responded giving
a condensed account of our work and
returning the thanks of our corps for
the very hearty welcome we had
found. Colonel Peeples. editOT of
the Gwinnett Herald, very ably and
eloquently presented the importance
of a canal connecting the Atlantic
ocean with the ‘'Far West.” in its
many different bearings. That excel
lent, dignified and courteous gentle
man, Major Winn, upon the ground
of being the senior member of the
party, very appropriately closed the
discussion with ono of the most ten
der and feeling little addresses we
ever heard, and bidding us a hearty
God speed in our undertaking; after
which the meeting proper was ad
journed onlv to give room to another
reunion, which in the shape of toasts
and witty remarks kept up among
all the best of spirits.
At a late hour the company sepa*
rated, fully convinced that every one
present bad enjoved themselves to
hearts content. We. of the engineer
corps, however, shall never forget,
and always think ourselves under
obligations, for the very happy hours
we spent in company with the good
citizens of Lawrenceville. Mav they
succeed in their endeavors, and rnpy
the Canal and projected railroad
become a living reality, and a soure
of profit and convenience to them,
is the wish of every one of us who
partook of their unostentatious but
generons hospatality.
