A good many years ago Daniel ‘Web
ster.much ofisnded certain of his con-
sritiiehts by saying spnie things which,
they regarded as top favorable to the
Southern people, whom they cordially
hated^ and to'the institufipn of slavery :
which, they professed J;q .hnte. About
the time Mr. Webster was saying these
things there lived in the Shite;pf Massa
chusetts a'shoemaker iAmed.J(»em!ah-"
Colbaith. Now, Jeremiah had access'
to certain of Mr. "Webster’s earlier
speeches, and oh looking them oyer he
thought he discovered a want of bar-
nrony between them and Mr. 'Webster’s
liittei- siieeches, He also perceived
"in this circumstance, and in the cur
rents of popular feeling, a famous op
portunity to lift himself into notoriety
by' putting himself against the great
Massachusetts orator and statesman.
Accoi-dingly lie boldly took tlie stamp,
and begair" quoting Mr. "Webster
agaSftst himselk . The card proved, to;
be a winding one. The people, who
only w mted some one to attack the
man whom'they already regarded , as
an apostate, and who were not- at. all
particular abonf the intellect or..other
qualifications of the ass;iilant, cheered
on the blatant Jeremiah ip his, noble
woi-k of winning notoriety, for his.adpp-
ed n.mh i; and whyu-at length they suc
ceeded in '-administering to Mr. Web :

This section of the county has. suf

Correspondence of the Atlanta Constitution.J
The hathing housas, which are veiy
small, rude wood buildings, ciipable.of
being taken to piecesand removed in
case of storm, are placed in a line up
;ind down on the beach.abaots&vnnty-.
five, yarda-from the highest watermark
in usual weather. Here the bathers
dress themselves before essaying The
surf. Here .too. are numberless bath
ing suits “ to let ” at priceS from.ihir-
ty to fitly cents. A-suit consists of a'
pair of loose tiowsers and a- kind of -a.
sack coat; which is fastened aroeud
the. waist with-a band. A’great,- eoarse
straw hat tp.be worn, tied, nnde.r'itho
chin, with a ribbon.pasting -over the
top, is added if desired. The same
kind of outfit answers for both sexes,
except that the coat for the lady is
usually longer than that of the gentle
man. - While the writer was., getting
his suit, he heard a youth complain
’that a miss of fourteen had taken his
with the fanning interests of-each year, clothes and, clad in them, w.is disport-
which I regard as decided evidence of
the inseciu-e basis of our Southern, ag
riculture. There are some advantages,
however, in favor of .thisold, worn out:
country over that portion of the State
lower down, which enable the people
here, especially remote from railroad
-towns, to recover from, or rather stand
tlie misfortunes of a bad crop year. In
the fifst place', more of the people, both
men and-women, work, which keeps
them more at home, dispenses with , so
much of the. extravagance of the day
ami lessens their necessities beyond a
comfortable family support. . Still, the
people here often speak of. their condi
tion as. had, but eould they really know
the status cl. a majority of the people
iu cejrtaiu other. portions of the .State
I think they would take'courage.
The shite of politics here is really
amusing, there, being very little affec
tion for, oi- eyed disposition, from pol
icy to vote for G-reslsy,.and, of course,
dot an. atom of Grantism, except among
the negroes and'a few' white nonle-
serqits. Wilson’s-raid passed central
ly through this county and directly
through this town during the war, rob
bing the people of -horses, mules,'pro
visions, and, in fact, of. every thing val
uable, le.aving’themi'barely. with the
means of making.a living. The mem
ory of tlnit. event is still fresh among-
the. people, .and when you talk of. the
good policy in. uniting upon Greeley,-
they reply by telling you of their trials,
scares and tribulations, in • refugeeing
from the , minipus that gave birth to
the political principles and party they
arc now asked to endorse. Their de-
moci'acy is as pure as Jefferson -ever
taught,, and they are simply irrevoca
ble in then- opposition to Greeley;
Grant or anybody else save a pure,
straight out Democrat. When I com
sider the. sufferings of these people
from Yankee-raids., and their-sncidfi-
ces tlius ox-ide in the cause of the Con
federacy; and .the, evils, and wrongs
thus inflicted upon them in common
with,us all post bslhim,. jbtdiealism
and seallawags; and Their willing 3 - 633
ing in the waves. The eostumes, at
least to the untanght eye of the-bach-
elor, involves the wearer.in the great
est.mystery.
The rotund maiden of “sweet six
teen’’ may well be mistaken for a
plump boy, unless-yon are near enough
to discover toe little white hands and
feet as she splashes into the sea. To
one .accustomed to judge of-. female
stature from the toilet, of the parlor
and the pavement;- there is troublesome
State Road Lease.
There, was a committee appointed
at the last session to investigate this
matter and.reqjort at this session. Wo
have not read the report, and, there
fore, do not Imow what evidence,'if
any, hastbeeu discovered of fraud. It
strikes us as rather a novel doctrine to
a lawyer, that one of the parties to a
contract, .the Stateof Georgia, has the
right, legally- or equitably, to set aside
its own contract. If-the lease was ob-
taiued fraudulently, it seems-to us that
the ^»oper-place to have, it set aside
would-be; to. the courts where both par
ties hav.e an equal showing and
stand upon equal terms. But aside
from the legal question involved, we
are inclined- to the opinion that the
lease is about the best-arrangement for
the interest of the State. . The State is
assured three hundred thousand dollars
per annum, which- we believe is a bet
ter rental than can.be secured from 'a
reliable company; and we are unalter
ably opposed to the road ever being
thrown back to run in tlia interest of
the-politifial pal-ties—we would Much
prefer to see the road sold and the in
debtedness of the State paid, or .the
the money used to help bnild railroads
to develop other sections of the .State.

Indian Atrocities.—A dispatch from
Sah Autonio, Texas, saysthat more-ln-
diau atrocities occurred on the night of
the ,14th. The Indians captured a nmil
doubt, too, as to how large - one of: coac-h en the Conquo, wounded the
these naiads may bo. Of . course, one driver seriously, and killed two others
may infer that the stout German wo- .soid took fhe-mnles. Gen. Hatch sent
man, with much significant local ohcsT Lieutenants Heniphill and Vernon
ity, must have decided proportions in h* piursttit, "who recovered the coach
any dress; hut outside of such ex
treme cases, he is-left in t ee must puz
zling and stupid wonder. The absurd
attire.is likewise a disguise fatal* to
beauty.. The most enamored beau,
"were he to see his sweetheart gotten up
for a plunge, if he knew her at all ;
would be forced to own the disenchant
ing power .over womans loveliness, of
a pair of loose trowsers and a coarse
straw hat tied over the ear. Should he
observe lier as she comes dripping from
tlie. water’s edge, and-loolring, as has
been suggested," not unlike an immense
Tat on life hindlegs, his constancy
would"surely bo hazarded.
.A Man Married to Another Man
Seventeen Years.—One of the most
remarkable divorce cases on ■ record
has been begun, and is to be' tried at
.the August-term of the- Macoupin
county Circuit Court. The . parties
have lived together for seventeen-years
—known to the world as husband and
wife. .The reputed husban:! now files
a bill, alleging the so-called marriage
to: have taken place in Macoupin- coun
ty in 1855, and praying for a dhroree
on'the ground that the person to whom
he was tlven fonnally married is not a
woman, although previous to ami at
the time of said reputed marriage he
was'induced to believe the aforesaid to
he a -woman. If the allegations of tiie

. .While the people, here are all right
politically-, they are strangely .laekihg
in that spirit of enterprise so charac
teristic of the day.- 1 Though they man
