Coulter Master, en roate for the mountains. Our party consisted of Capt. J. M. Elliott, D. H. Findley, J. F. McGhee and Geo. iiattey. Promptly at 8 o’clock the bell tapped and lines were loosed. The little steamer backed down into the mouth of the Coosa and then headed for the Oostanaula. There was very little of interest on our way up. We pass on this trip the towns of Calhoun and Re- sacca, both immediately on the Oosta naula river, also bn the W. & A. Rail Road. Rut little can be seen of either one from the steamer, and as we were pressed for time, we did not go ashore to examine them more minutely. We tied up the first night some sev enty miles from Rome. Five miles above Resacca wo enter the mouth of of the Coosawattee, a beautiful little river to look at, but not so pleasant for steamboating, as it abounds in shoals. After a pleasant night’s rest, away from the heat and mosquitoes, steam was raised at daylight, and at 11 A. M. 8th of August we reached the head of navigation on the Coosawattee river, which is on the famed plantation of Judge Samuel Carter, in Murray coun ty, Ga. At 2:30 P. M. the little craft tapped the bell and left us on the shore, wait ing for our conveyance to carry us across the mountains. We were not kept long in waiting until Milburn Da vis, a gentleman of color, drove up with a fair span of mules to a good and substantial wagon, which wo boarded and :racked our whip for Ellijay, Gil mer ccunty, Ga. Our party now consisted of four, D. H, Findley, J. F. McGhee, myself and •Milburn, ihe man and brother, who was our guide. We drove over seven miles of the roughest road that man e ver travelled over on wheels. I will here state, though, that we did not travel on the best road from Carter’s landing to Ellijay, but had to go this mute in order to find a stopping place for the night. We came near not find ing such place, for when we reached he house recommended to us ns one where we could stop, they were rather s J y of us, thinking that we might be connected with the re venue department, 0 which most of the inhabitants of jese mountainous districts stand in utter abhorrence. We finally succeeded in making ourselves known, and were “‘lowed to stay over night. Morning of the 9th inst. we were on e roa<1 early and found that our road was much better than we had travelled °'cr the evening before. It was a good mountain road—now and then we would come to what the natives “ a ed “slants.” We called them moun tains. At 1 o’clock P. M. we reached the lit- i e , to ' T . n °f Ellijay, which is a nice e village of some two hundred and ‘"habitants, on the banks of the • " , 1Jay r ‘ ver - Like all county towns, bri'vf court house and jail built of c , three churches, two Methodists, j 0 1 ant * South, one, Baptist, one sem- r ..^ y ’ ono u«ademy, two hotels, Jar- s and Mrs. Perry’s, both said to be ry gO0( l ones - We stoped with the n ,„ t f e . r an d found it all that we ex- , ~~good substantial fare, and bo , at we thought it would be a place to spend the rest of the summer, only 75 cents per day. One newspaper,the Ellijay Courier,a spright ly oight page paper, presided over by Samuel Freeman, who, like all news papermen, is clever and obliging. Long may he and the Courier wave and pros per. The county officers—E. Russell, Or dinary ; G. H. Randall, Sheriff; Wm. Ellington, C. C., and A. Bishop, D. Garren, J. P. Cobb and W. R. Welsh, principal merchants of tho town. After a very pleasant stay of a day, wo bid adieu to Ellijay and passed on to Jasper, Pickens county, which place we reached at dark on the 10th inst.— Here we found no hotel, but found a pleasant private house, where we were taken in and cared for by Mrs. Dr. Davis. The Doctor was absent on pro fessional business, but his good lady did all in her power to make our stay pleasant. Jasper is not quite so large a town as New York, but, still, it has its place on the maps of our land, and her people, though not so numerous, are just as clever as any people daro be. Here, also, there is court house and jail— former brick and latter stone—both very substantial buildings; two church es—Methodist and Baptisttwo flour ishing schools ; W. H. Simmons, Or dinary; J. F. Lindsay, Sheriff; E. Wofford, C. C.; W. H. Simmons and W. T. Day, prominent lawyers. Both of these gentlemen were very attentive and polite to our party, for which we tender them many thanks. The prin cipal merchants are J. R. & W. A. Al len, Howel & Simmons, Wofford, Mc- Cuichens & Co., and Prather & Allen. From this place we had the prettiest view of the mountains my eyes have ever looked upon. The range imme diately in front of us is called Long Swamp Mountain, and is beautiful be yond description. It must be seen to be appreciated. It is, according to the U. S. Coast Survey, in latitude 34° 29’ 11”; longitude 84° 17' 55” 141 seconds, east of Atlanta; altitude 3,290 feet.— It is over 2,000 feet above the church steeples in Atlanta, which place can be seen from its summit on a clear day with a common field glass. After a very pleasant day at this point, we again ordered our man and brother to prepare for a move on Talk ing Rock Factory, which place we reached after a pleasant drive of ten miles, over good road in the afternoon of the 11th inst. Here we met a very clever, hospitable people, and were treated very clever by all we came in contact with. This factory was first built iu April, 1809, and burned in April 1874. It was rebuilt in February, 1875, and is now in good running order. It is owned by T. Atherton & Co. The company is made up of the following gentle men : T. Atherton, E. A. Fincher, J. W. Glenn and S. F. Stephens. Mr. Atherton is the Superintendent, and seems to be well fi’ted for the position, having been raised among the spindles. He seemed to take much pleasure in showing us through the factory. Mr. Stephens is the book keeper and cash' ier. Messrs. Fincher and Glenn both give their personal attention to the fac tory, and if untiring energy and per severance is any guarantee of success, they are bound to succeed. This factory, though small, shows what practical men can do with ma chinery in the South. It is run at a cost not exceeding $25 per day for labor. We were much pleased with two operations at these works. One, a girl some twelve or fourteen years old, Miss M. Roe. She was changing thebobins—that is, taking out empty ones and replacing them with full ones, without stopping the machinery. It was done with lightning speed, and was very amusing to one not accus tomed to see suoh work done. The othor was a little girl some seven years old, making the small cards or boards to run the spindles; though so young, she seemed to understand her business perfectly. After a pleasant afternoon, night and morning, we had to take up the line of march again for another factory. A distance of nineteen miles brought us to Cohutta Factory, built and owned by Judge Dennis Johnson, in 1872-— This factory is seven mile3 from Car ter’s Landing, in Murray county. It is not now running, though in perfect order. The Judge has had to stop, owing to the great pressure of money matters. I trust that he may soon be able to start up, for these cotton millB give employment to a class of people who can hardly make a living in any other manner. When running, some fifty persons, men, women and child ren, earn a living here. We bade the Judge adieu just before dark, and went home with one of Murray county’s best farmers, Mr. James McEntire. Here we rested and feasted for the night, and on the sweet Sabbath morning started again for the Coosawatte, which we reached at noon at Montgomery’s land ing. Here we dismissed our man and brother, he making his way back to his home, and we waiting for the little steamer to return from Romo. We now had somo leisure to look around among the farmers of this section. We found them to be good substantial, well to do men. We visited the farm of Mr. Oliver Harris, und found his crops looking very fine, though he said he had suf fered from want of rain. Among the many signs of prosperity noticed on his farm, one which attracted our at tention most, was three as handsome pigs as we ever looked at. They are of the Poland-China variety, ore a little over six months old, and will weigh from 175 to 200 pouuds gross. They are real beauties and no mistake. We then went and spent the doy ot Samuel Montgomery’s, who is mer chandising and farming. He has a good farm lying on the Coosawatte. He also has suffered from drouth, but will make plenty, even, without rain. At 6} o’clock on the evening of the 14th we boarded a canoe and started to meet the steamer. After a ride of some eighteen or twenty miles, we saw the little craft puffing up the Coosawatte. We boarded her at 10 o’clock,tired, wet and hungry. Seab, the cook, soon ap peased our hunger, aud we retired and slept soundly, and found ouraelves much refreshed on rising next morn ing. We then went up to Carter’s Landing, and found a considerable amount of freight there awaiting the little craft. Promptly at 2:30 the lines were pulled in, and we headed out for Rome. Nothing more of interest until we reached Calhoun'on the morning of the 16th. Here we had to stop for a while to load some lumber. We were stormed by a party of Calhoun’s faries, headed and lead on by Mrs. W. came the Misses Ws,, Miss M. and Miss S y all looked after and cared for by Mr. W. We met their charge with one of Pritchard’s best melons, which seemed to put the party in a good humor for chatting, and we spent half an hour very pleasantly. Come again, girls, and if Pritchard don’t go back on us you will be sure to find the same kind of fare on the table of the Mary Carter. Though sad it was, we had to bid adieu to these very pleasant new made friends. We now headed out for Rome in earnest, which point we reaohed at 5:30 P. M., with a good cargo of grain, lum ber, etc. I would say, by way of warning to Rome merchants, that there is a good little trade in these mountains for some of them, and they had better go and look after it Atlanta has long been reaping a rich harvest from among these hills and slants, and Rome, by a little ■well directed energy and perse verance, can turn most of it, if not all, this trade to this point. Respectfully, Rambler. The Queen of England, in her speech to Parliament, has definitely announced her assumption of the title of Empress of India. This addition to the style of the crown, she is careful to say, is made “ as regards India,” and she connects the announcement with an expression of her solicitude for the welfare of her people of the Eastern Empire. As to England, she is still Queen, and the new tide is hardly likely to be much used, except in offi cial documents. The postal card manufactory at Springfield is running ten hours a day, and turning out about 500,500 cards per day, and is 3,500,000 behind its orders. The number of cards printed during the quarter ending July 1st was 38,000,000, an increase of nearly 10,- 000,000 over the corresponding quarter of 1875. A new Stale l»w of Kentucky requires that all personal elected to office shall, before assumingthe duties thereof, make oath that they nave neither directly or indirectly bribed voters to secure their election. The statute will commenoe its practical application with the candi dates elected last Monday. The dull times have had their effect on life insurance as well as on other branches of business, and now some of the leading Hartford (Conn.) companies are writing only from five to ten new policies dally. Georgia has forty cotton mills, and that’s what ails New England.—Detroit Free. Frees. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For »U dieexeci of the Liver, Stomach and Sploon. WILL CURE DYSPEPSIA.
