It mast be rather galling 10
Blaine to know that many of the
best men in Ins party are refusing
to support him because they do
not think he is a fit man 10 be
President. He is very proud md
ft very sensitive man, aud unless
he has a will of iron and a consti
tution that can bear any “train he
will be broken down before the
campaign closes. Wha a lesson
his career teaches to the younger
generation of public men ! The
trickster, the demagogue, or tbe
dishonest man is sure 1 1 be found
out, and he is certain to be con
demned and made to pay the pen
alty of his wrong doing. Blaine
is a man of magnified), ability,and
intellectually is fitted to fill any
position, but when his moral char -
acter is brought into question
goon men shrink away from him.
No( an independent paper io all
the country supports him, and in
his own party that part of the bet
ter element which has uot desert
ed him is not show : ug marked
enthusiasm in his behalf. How
often must he have wished, in the
last few years, that he had never
written the Mulligan letters, or
rather, that he Had noi coveted
those Little Rock lialway bonds;
but then, is a man holding a high
official position, who uses that po
eition to advance bis private fort
une, capable of remorse ? Whetb
•r he is or not, he is doubtless ca
pable of being convinced that
there are enterprises iu which i (
doee not pay to be a dead htad.—

AtTI IUItHI DAYS
IvMIMRCENCES OF JtFF DAVIS, RoB -
ekt Toombs and R. M. T.
Hunter. „
In the year 1860, says the St.
Louis Republican, of July 16th,
Jeff Davis, of Mississippi, Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, and R M T
Hitn'cr of Virginia were members
of the United States Senate, and
not only its three most influential
menibets, but eminent Southern
leaders. Each represented a
Stale which claimed and exercised
a weighty influence in the nation
al council, and as they boloDged
to the dominant party and weie
champions of the theories that
rested on slavery, they possessed
tin authority which, iu the pres
ent changed condition of things,
it is difficult to comprehend. The
political sky wote a troubled look
in the spting of 1860. The John
Brown raid on Harptr's Ferry
had recently taken place, showing
wl at daring and dangerous meas
ures Abolitionism was capable of;
Kansas, af'er a fierce struggle,
bad been lost to the South; the
growing Republican party was
preparing for the Chicago t'onvou
tion that nominated Abraham Lin
coin; there were grave divisions
in the Democratic party that nad
ruled the country for nearly titty
years ; and, to complicate things
still more, there was a strong na
tive American element in the
Southern States which refused to
al’y itself with the Southern f)e
mocracy in defense of the extreme
portion which the latter claimed
was necessary for the maintenance
us Southern institutions and inter
esls. Congress was still in aes
•sion, it was observed that Davis,
rooms and limiter, were frequent
iy sitting together iu the Senate,
as if in consultation. Thest con
sultations usually took place at
the desk of the Senitor from Miss
tksippi, and the fact was remarked
then, as proof of the clearer per
spicacity, stronger will, and supi
rtor ability of the man who was
destined afterward to become chief
of the then only dreamed of South
ern Confederacy,
These three men are still living.
It is strange that it should be so,
but there are muny strange things
connected with the tremendous
drama iu which they played so
conspicuous a part. Their experi
mental Confederacy was born, liv
ed and perished So long igo that
he dmeiictin youth of to-day
know nothing of it except, wliai
they read of in books Tlie South
has pasted through ihe blood and
agony of a conflict which left the
flower of its population beneath
die sod, and scarred its monn*
ituns, valleys and forests with
ho Hacks of plowing missiles.—
■i.U»U4i*«sio«u, U«S<l iio VttlT
slavery was over thrown and ruin
tan riot over the Southern land
till there was little left to destroy.
Ye' tbe three -Senators of 1860,
from Mississippi, Georgia and Yir
gintu, have servived all the havoc
and are still above tbe turf be -
neath which all their prominent
contemporaries lie hurried. Their
old abolitiou enemies are gone.
Garrison, Reward, Greely, Chase,
Giddings passed away long ago.
l.ven Wendell Philips is dead.
Lincoln the first Republican
President, has been in his bloody
tomb these nineteen years. The
great Douglas sleeps in lllinoi..
soil, and trees twenty yeais old
grow over his grave. His Presi
dential competitors iu '.lie memor
able campaign of 1860, Breckiu
ndge and John Bell, are asftep,
too, each In the soil of his native
State. AU members of ihe first
Republican Cabinet are gone hut
one—Simon Cameron—and Simon
Cameron v.as s comparatively ob
scure man in the spring of 1860.
The Mississippi Senator of 18-
60 is now seventy six years of
age ; the Georgia Senator is 74 ;
the Virginia Senator is 75, They
are not very old men, yet there
are not three other living men in
the world who were actors in a
great historical drama who have
served as pall-bearers to such a
proccession of eminent fellow play
ers.
A cw Yarn
When the war closed, one of
the Georgia railroads hadu’t a de
pot or freight house on its line,
aad its roiling stock consisted of
two old locomotives and four fiat
cars. Tliey couldn t roll until Lew
lies and rails were laid, and the
outlook was dubious enough.
Hcwever, lie President called a
meeting of the board to see what
could bo done. VV hen he had sla
ted tiie condition of the track and
equipment he added that the com
pany liadn t, a dollar in cash, aud
Decollator al to borrow money on.
He then asked what should be
done 1
“I move we declare a dividend of
10 per cent,” boldly -eplied one of
the directors.
It was a thunderclap which
knocked ’em all down ; but he fol
lowed it up by offering to loan
the company #.12,000 to make the.
dividend, and a dividend was deci-'
ded on. The stock at once leaped i
from 34 to 9()cems, aud in a year i
it was held at 108 and paying div-
Meeds 011 thai.

every community who are ever

the United States that has no
such a juan in it we would like to
sell oui a«d move to it aud thus

A young lady was wheeling her
married sister's twin babies along
the s' reel. when a close observer
could have noticed her halt for a
second appear eiubrassed, while a
crunsen blush moun'ed her cheeks.
She saw coming up the street her
old be >u whom she had uot seen
for two years, as he lmd Inen
away. Of course the fellow nat
urally supposed his sweet heart
ha 1 married during his absence,
so he began grinuing as he drew
near, tipped his hat and passed en
congratulating himself on the
fate he had escaped. It is useless
to attempt to describe tne feelings
of the young lady.
dhe Gave Him no dhow
My dear he said, helping him
self to butter, “why is a bald head
ed man like kind words ?”
“Because he can never die!” she
ventured timidly, but promptly.
“Yes,'* he growled “iliat's
right.”
A little later he tried it again.
“Do you know,” he asked “why
this cheese reminds me of truth
“Oh yes. Because it is mitey.’’
He didn’t speak to his wife

CORHESPONDENCE
MOTES or TRAVEL
Chops—Evidences of a Prosper -
ous People.
Editor Jleruld. —Last week
founu your correspondent oooted
and spured for a trip, not “across
the Continent,” but across a few
Counties in your pan of the
State. While you and your asso
•iatea in Royal Palace Cars whirl
ed with lightning speed from At
lanta to Baltimore to meet the
Press Convention. I plodded
along in my own conveyance at tue
speed of three and a half to four
miles an hour, through the Coun
iio» of Gwinnett, Milton, Cherokee
ar.d Cobb. I went, not as a Book
Agent, a Sewing Machine Agent,
a Picture Age it, nor to sell Maps
nor Parent fences, nor as Agent
for Patient Medicines and Patient
Nostrums. But 1 went for a lit
tle recreation, for a relaxation
from libor, a little pastime,and to
see the crops and the county, and
a little business, but not as an
,4geut. These Agents that have
afflicted the coaDtry of late years
by sponging on the people and
annoying 'hem otherwise has giv
en me an abhorance for the name
of “Agent,” even, aud I insist
that I did not go this trip as an
Agent.
Ido not propose to give your
readers many “incidents of Gavel' 1
and yet there were many little
pleasant episodes L encountered
on my way. Some of which I
may take occasion to name. Zfut
t the s ate of the crops your read
era will he more directly in crest
ed.
The backward Cool Spni g re
tard“d planting, and Cotton was
therefore ten days late to start
with, tbe unprecideuted rams of
of June checked tne growth it had
attained iu May, and the Colton
prospect on the fi-st of July was
decidedly discoui aging. While
the rains had checked tbe growth
of the cotton they stimulated the
grass and it had undisturbed pos
session of the fields during the
whole month, there Gjj g 1.0 suit
able weather to plow, hence the
grass hid all the advantage and
the farmers were disheartened at
the outlook.
But they “crossed the bridga
too soon,” aud I now give it as at.
epiuiou, that with fair seasous
through August and a late frost,
the counties through which I
have traveled and referred to,
will make a fair average corn crop
ami at least two thirds of a full
crop of cotton. 1 saw on my
route many upland fields of splen
did corn aud some fields of fa : r
cotton, seemingly doing well. At
any r»te with tbe above contingen
cies referred to occurring, we
should be thankful to Providence
and take courage.
The second day brought me at
10 o'clock iii the morning, to the
hospitable home of Col Gto. H.
Jones on the Chattahoochee,
where I tarried until 2. The Col
is not only a hospitable gendeman
hut a good farmer, lie is one of
that class cf enterprising, go-a
head, youngish farmers in your
county, such as VV J florn, Miles
Ewing, David Vainer aud others,
and some of the same class iu o h i
er iouuties, that are making farm I
* n g a great success and are get
ting rich.
W bile older men were discoui -
aged by the results of the war aud
are plodding along without much
success, these men and their class
have moved up without feeling
those discouragements and are on
a boom
At the bouse of Cel Jones w«
ta*t for the first time Cept Aw*
! chell. one <: his neighbors. <Vbile
Capt B is a citizen of your coun
ty his business cads him most of
his time from home and has there
fore made the acquaintance of
b t few of your people, as he in
forms me. He is by profession, a
Jivil Engineer and rail road con
lt actor and his business detains
him much of lus time in Florida
and oilier p’aces, engsged in his
profession.
The Capt is asonof theEmersld
Isle, coming to the Unite ! States
! in his early manhood, and settled
, first in Florida. At the opening
! of the late civil war lie drew hi*t
, *word in defense of his adopied
; country and did gallant service as
Captain of a company in one of
the Florida Regiments. He is an
educated, get ial Irishman, whose
acquaintance lam glad to have
made.
In the evening, passing on.vard
we came to Lebenon, not the an
cient Z/ebenon, where Solomon
got his cedars with which he built
his temple, but the Jiebenon Mills
built, by Mr Arch //owell, 45 years
ago—soon after the State came in
possession of the country We#f of
the Chattahoochee.
My first knowledge of these
mills was soon after their erec
tion. It was then the finest mill
in the State, and with its subse
qnent improvement by the Ros
well Company is still equal to auy.
Mr. H.. as I remember, opened a
store on the hill above, and sold
calico to the Indians and pioneer
whi’es at 50cts. a yard, “Nairad"
Homespun at 25 aud whisky cheap
“Big Bill Fuller” was one of his
best customers for the latter com
modity, and was the fighting bully
of the then new County of Cobb.
In after years he became an or
derly citizen, respected by his
neighbors and a church member.
These are some of the old memo
ries levived by my travels, and
my pencil will not resist allusion
to them. «
Onward and still westward,“our
afar” keeps its way, and we come
to Lime River, in Cherokee, and
and to the splendid mills built bj
Gen. Eli McConnell soon after
the building of Lebanon, and the
npleudil land and fairn that were
attached. The mills and the thou
sand acres of laud belonging thre
io, a few yiars ago was purchased
by Mr. G. W. Arnold, now of
Roswell. Not long since be soldj
the mills aud fifty acres around
fcho.n for eight IbourAuJ uolMfts,'
leaving nine hundred acres a ill
his property. This farm is a sple a
did possession, 150 acres cleared,
750 iu original fores'a. 'There
are 150 acres, as I guess rich bot
toms. Some cleared and some
noc Mr. A. has cut a canal from
J to a mile long straightening the
s ream and bringing the low lauds
into proper condition for cnlliva
lion. I know no possessions of
laud iu Cherokee more valuable,
except perhaps Gov. Brown's on
'he Ettawa. Mr. Arnold may
very properly he included iu the
number of those enterprising tmn
t<> whom I have refered. In addi
tion to this splendid farm, £ am
informed he owds three store
houses in Roswell, selling goods
in one, a nice residence in Atlan
,ta and two small but valuable
farms in Fulton. All this proper
ty ho has made, at least mostly
so, since the war, by his tack, en
ergy and good judgement, and tal
j ent for trading.
Spending a few hours pleasant
ly at Little River my route diverg
ed Southward over the hilis and
valleys of Cherokee and Milioo,
and near nightfall I reached the
classic town of Roswell witli her
neat cottages and shaded streets.
I knew this town before it was
a town ; knew it more than 45
years, at its earliest settlement ;
in tie days of old Roswell King,
its original founder. Soon after
Mr. King, at the head of his joint
stock company of Savanmans, com
menced to oulld their Cotton Mills
lon the janks of “Rig Creek.”
Then it was composed of a few
| scattering cabins hero aud there,
'lie most preten ious one being a
double one, with two glass wix- :
dows, being occupied by old ics
well King, the “Boss.” Now it
is a pretty town of several hun
dred inhabitant j, with many nice
residences, a number of stores
ar.d four nice churci.es. Forty
live years have wrought, wondsi
ful changes here. All of theorigi
U *l stockholders bare passed away
except the now aged Arcliie Smith
who, I believe, is the sola survivor
of the original company, but the
enterprise is btill u gieat success,
mid “The Roswell Cotton Mills,”
known far aud wide from the fab
ricks she sends out.
To sum up: every w'>ere, in
; Gwinnett, Milton, Cherokee aud
Cobh, evidences of prosperity meet
the eye ol the traveler. New
houses and better oues. New
farms tad better rilled. New
Cfcurghav ab 4 natter chat.
roads and bridges, and the whole
outlook giving evidences of a
thriving country aud an intelli
gent population.
Georgia is a great State, and
North Georgia, in my opinion, is
her “f/arden Spot.”
