HP'ms again.
■ ’Tis '/ r.riP^ after an absence of fourteen
days, toffte again quietly seated in our cosy
little saiutu in,'surrounded by the dear objects
of every day life. Though delightful in the
main, our trip has been a fatigueing one ; and
exhausted naturesays rest wearied spirit. Duty,
however, demands that weseek to make amends
for short comings to our readers, and we mu.4
jto'thte task.
It wili be impossible for us to give even a
sketch of our travels, in the brief hour we can
devote to the subjectthis week. Our trip has
afforded food for reflection for many days to
come, and we hope to d6 “the State Some ser
vice” by giving incidents of cur travel as op
portunity shall offer.
■ One word about the excursion—its oiigin
object, &c. The excursion was gotten up by
Col. E. Eulbert, Sup. of the State Hoad, for
the purpose of bringing tp notice, through the
press, the great mineral wealth lying dormant
in the mountains of Georgia. The yrorld hath
BO idea of the magnitude "of the mineral re
sources emboweled in Georgia soil. Knowing
this and believing that it was the cheapest way
^advertising, Col. H.’called the press of the
State together, and gave them an excursion
anything of the kind ever before
-■-ci’. i.v the professon editorial. Every
.fir; and convenience was provided for,
Tfiirving the excursionists of any necessary
ix'iK-nse? Nothing was oinitted, that could be
Provided. We shall not attempt to give par
ticulars, but suffice it to say that we>te, drank
and slept on board train ! except when other
wise feasted by the hospitable people along
the line of march. We shall perhaps giie
races in a future article.
About forty papers were represented and
a large number of invited guests, swelling the
number of excursionists to considerable over
one hundred. The large majority left home
in good faith, seeking for the time, as express
ed by our worthy President—Col. Clisby—to
turn aside (we quote from memory) from the
barroa fields of polities and betake om-
selves to the material interests of the State.
Thus we met upon a social equality with men
whose political principles we detest. IV e were
invited guests: so were they. We'did not
come together to condemn, endorse, or excuse

How Lee and Jackson are
“ Spending the Summer/ .
Among these, I found Kere Mrs.
Rutert E. Lee, whom 1 had not set n
for thirty years. I' bad kijown her
when a bov, as the bells of Arlington,
the daughter of Qecrge ashmgton
Patke Custis, .who was the adopte<l
child of George Washington, but : o
blood' relaliou. Then she was : n ele
gant and iittraciive young lady, of
great affability’ of manners and person
al charms. Alas ! I found her greatly
changed by time ami still more by dis
case. Tne charm of her manners still
continues, but her bt dy has been ter
ribly afflicted by rheumatism, which
..as made her sucli a cripple that, for
some yeats past, almost from the com
mencement tiff the I at-; war, her only
locornoti m is affected in a chair w’ith
wheels, which is moved about by ser-
vams. In spite of this affliction she is
a most agreeable and cheerful old lady,
receivesvery one with a snide, and
converses upon all subjects with great
intelligence, vivacity ai d good humor.
There ns nothing of the laughter, quer
rulousness or discontent of the invalid
in her manner or coi vcrsaiion. Her
time is occupied in social converse, sew
mg, writing, and playing vviili her
grandchild, a jolly TfuTe feffow, the son
of Gen. W. H. F. Lee. She is full of
energy and industry, and employs her
sell most zealously to a late hour of
the night sewing for herself and daught
ers. At present she is engaged in ma
king a dress for he self and one of her
daughters out of some calico sent as a
present from the PLoenix cotton nulls
in Georgia.
Mrs. Lee, though contented with her
situation, aiid do ply grateful for thw
many tokens of love aud admiration
which have been lavished upon her
husband and herself, very naturally
sighs lor her old home at Arlington,
from which she lias been so ruthlessless
and barbarously banished. She expects
to close her life amid'the scenes oi the
happy days of her childhood and girl
hood. Even this most cherished desite,
however, she will cheerfully sacrifice

Occasionally an unfortunate word would drop

there was no necessity for it? Laboring, we
regret to say, under the influence of whiskey
a Southwestern brother proposed as a toast,
‘Our model Governor.” He drank almost alone,
but very few responding. This was bringing
politics directly in.thfe ring, and received the
rebuke so richly deserved.
*'For one we deeply regret the uncalled for

But away with unpleasant thoughts- We

But he tree tod us kindlV, and gave.us an op

before, and we thank him for it. Vi e believe
he has the interest' of developing the resources
of Georgia at heart, and thus far he has our

We are not Col. Hulbert’s defender, or his po

The social intercourse with brethren of the

B®* The Cuban fever appears to be largely
on the increase in Georgia. Quite a Dumber
of arrests have been made by Uncle Sam re
cently. Bettcer let Cuba alone, boys. Bad
business.
Jgy* The up country is growing rich selling
corn, wheat and bacon to cotton planters. On
our recent trip we could but notice the differ
ence in improvement in tho two sections. At
every point iq the grain growing region, pros
perity was plainly visible. Upper Georgia,
Tennessee and Kentuoky get all our surplus
cash, grow rich, and we remain poor. When
will we. learn wisdom ?
There can be no doubt of the fact that
the present cotton crop is unusually short.—
Foreign buyers seem slow to believe this, but
they will find it out, perhaps too late for their
good. The bulk of the cotton wilt be ready
for market, in Georgia; by the last of October-
Gov. Bullock and Treasurer Angler
are at it again- ' *fhe Governor has suid the
Treasurer. Doubtless the lawyers will make
a good thing oujt of itj '
If we may judge the corn crop of Ten
nessee by what we saw along the line of Rail
Road, it is certainly veiry poor. Don’t like to
say it, but oar Teiiiesse" neighbors do certain
ly plant too thick’, :
-r-Tbe bog crop of lower East Te tinea
see, this season, says the Cleveland
Banner, is greater than it has been in
any onb yeai s nee the vyar, b.ui owing
ter the fall off in the cori) crop there is
but little doing in that line. We have
heard of hogs being offered at 5 cents
gross, but buyers do hot appear to talc
l o.d at these figures.
A CORRESPONDENT writes thus of the
crops in North Georgia:
“The crops were in the most forlorn
condition alopgthe road from Mr con
to Marietta, for want of ruin, though I
hoaoedeeyeral fields of nice corn.’
An Officer Shot by a Negro.
(. ovington, Sep’enfber 1, 1S69.
Mr. Editor; About V o’clock last
night, v/hilst Joseph Barber, a consta
ble of this county and a resident of Cov-
ing.on, was attempting to arrest a freed-
man, by the name of Jim Brown, lie
was shot by .Brown with a pistol. The
bull entered the neck a. little above the
collar bone, partially severing the
trachea, and lodged just under the
skiu at the back of the reck, from
which it'w^’ extracted by the attend
ing physician. After shooting Mr.
Barber, the negro ran (ff, and has not
yet been amsu d The Sheriff, with a
posse, are oui to-day in search of him,
and it is thought there is^bul little
chance for his escape.
Mr. Barber d ed from his wound
about 11 o’clock to-day. He Has left
a wife, but no children. He was an
Englishman, and a shoemaker'by'trade,
and has resided in seveml places in
Georgia, following his avocation. He
has resided in this colnftiuniiy several
years, aud by his integrity and upright
couducf, he had obtainM the respect
aud confidence of our people.
The freediiiafi, Jim Brown, bears a
a very bad character. k A few vyeeks
a«o he'tloie some uiopeity fioiu anoth
er freidnian, who' resides about four
miles in the country, and, the owner of
the p rope fry iiad a warrant issued f)>r
his arrest, and it was placed in the hands
of Barber for execution'.' A suori time
afterwards"be'-yfiis'^seen in town, when
Barber arrested him; but when he was
being carried to the jail, the negro
very suddenly, and without the least
warning, jumped at him, arid, wrested
the pistol i/om his hand, (no one but
those two being preseni), ai^d, ran off
'with it. List night was the first time
Barber had seen him since that occur
rence, and he attempted the arrest, in
.execution of the same warrant as be-
foie, and the probability is, he was
shot with his own pistol in the hands of
Brown. Pa>'Za.
Washington, August 30.—infor
mation has been received hgreshowing
that a proposal will be made at the next
session of Congress to create two new
States out of old ones, one by cutting
off East Tennessee lrom Middle and
West Tennessee, and another by tak
ing a portion of Arkansas and joining
it to the territory occupied by the Choc
taw Nation. Such a division sepms to
find favor among a few scheming poli
ticians in and out of office wbo desire
lo get into the House or Senate. Even
if Congress agrees to the creation ol
Such new Stales, it will require the as
sent of the old States, and is not there
fore likely to succeed. So far every
effort baa been made to keep'the new
movement a secret, but the fact that it
exists has leaked out. As regards

I concur in'the reversal of thejudg

which mistakes are specifically set forth
in the hill, and that they reduced the
amount of the widow’s dower which
had been flowed her, without any
evidenee whatever being submitted to

for gjdluRtry, energy and pluck, the

humbly hope to equal, but cannot ex

possible economy of strength fe utilized.
Rowing with us is'a science developed'
by men who made it tiieir business
aaid knew that in the contest the sligh -

knew precisely where to abstain as well
as w^ie'n to abound. The advantage is
not'without drawbacks, for nations,
