Never since Pope wrote the “Dnnciaed”
atid Byron “English Bards and Scotch Re
views,” has the literary world been so agita
ted as it now is by the conflict raging between
those distinguished poets, Asa R. Watson and
Ch.as. Hubner. Watson, who derives his po
etic inspiration from cabbages, and Hubner,
who probably finds gems of thought iu saus
ages and is ronsed to a fine poetic frenzy by
lager, are angrily disputing whether or not
certain words make legitimate rhymes,
an impartial critic we are forced to the con
clusion that Watson is right and Habner is
not wrong; and while this conclusion may
mistify ordinary minds, to us it seems as
clear as water.
Oar purpose, however, was not to criticise
the poets concerned, but only to give them a
little friendly advise. Unquestionably both
gentleman's effusions gracefully adorn the
poets’ corner of provincial papers, aod we
believe that Mr. Watson has even arisen to
to the giddy height of Bonner's Ledger on
rare occasions, while Hubner lias soared in
the columns of the Musical Eclectic. Still, it
seem8 to ns that if Watson, vrho writes an
excellent local, and is good on puffing
advertisements, would cultivate Brother
Clisby a little more, and if Hubner, who
has proven an able editor of the Musical
Eclectic, would leave the rouses alone
for a brief while, he would bring back the
sunny smiles of Charley Guilford and restore
that once light hearted and amiable yonng
man to his wonted happiness, while Clisby
would be less morose than nsnal, and even
Benner’s bear would loose its wildness.
For our part, we confess that the discussion
of those facts his not been interesting. But
then we abaudonad poetry when we were
twelve years of age and have let it alone se
verely since. Watson and Hubner, however,
continue the habit of “dropping” into it with
all the ease and grace of Mr. Silas Wegg, and
while their verses doubtless charm love-sick
youths and sentimental school girls, still,
since not all the cabbages or sausage?, can
inspire them with a sufficiency of tho divine
fire to make their quarrel interesting we trust
they will kiss and make friends like good
little boys, “drop” into their Silas Weggian
poetry and pursue their respective avocations
in peace and quietude.

This is the Becond case of this kind which
has occurred this week, and last week in
New York a father killed one son and severe
ly stabbed another, for attempting to keep
him from murdering their grandmother. All

something is done to restrain this terriblo
traffic that one-half of onr people will be kill

THE TEMPERANC3C PEOPLE.
The National Temperance Convention met
at Saratoga Tuesday, and took high and reso
lute ground on the subject of the prohibition
of liquor selling. They boldly declared in
favor of a separate temperance party every
where. Thai the existing political organiza
tions neglect or refuse to come up to their
standard, and they also advocated the repeal
of all State license laws. They avow their
purpose to make the temperance issue a ques
tion in politics, until they can procure legis
lative prohibition.
While these efforts are well meant, I have
little faith iu their success. It is a hard thing
to trame laws for men’s consciences,and here
tofore all sumptuary laws have only ended in
failure. Besides, neither party would risk
success by making temperauce prohibition an
indispensable issue.
I see the Herald pretty regularly and I see
that the good people of Atlanta, led by Capt.
Milledge and Bro. Thrower, aro doing their
share in battling for the cause.
It is rumored in Baltimore to-day that since
the consolidation of the Carolina with the
Southern Life, that the Memphis office had
reduced the Atlanta Department to a simple
agency, and that Gen. Gordon had resigned.
Feeling a very deep interest iu the success of
the Southern Life, it will be a source of deep
regret to all of its friends to lose the services
of Geu. Gordon. His name has been a tower
of strength to this Company in resisting the
assaults of its euemies. If this rumor is not
true, you would do well to correct it.

MURDER— SOME THOUGHTS ON TEM
PERANCE -THE SOUTHERN
LIFE AND GENERAL
GORDON.
From our Special Correspondent.
Baltimore, Mn , August 29, 1873.
Last night as I passed Barnum’s Hotel I
heard loud talking and stepped in to see what
was the canse. 1 found a large party of well
dressed persons who had just returned from
a clambake and were consequently very much
under the influence of uliisky. One of these
persons appeared to be a politician by tho
name of Mdore, who desired to run tor the
Legislature on two tickets, the other was a
Mr. Turner, w ho is a young and fine looking
butcher, and also a member of the Legisla
ture. These parties got to high words which
came near resulting iu a serious shooting
scrape, which would have sorely involved
others, as both men had their friends. It
was fiually settled, and in ten minutes they
were hugging each other. As I walked to
wards my boarding house, I reflected upon
the untold misery which is produced by whis
ky drinking, and bow near these two friends
had come to taking each others lives and
rendering their respective families miserable,
and for such a mere trifle. I will venture to
say that neither of them could tell this morn-
ning how the quarrel arose or how it came to
end.
We hear from several sources that immense
amounts of land aro being sold to foreign
capitalists, in Bartow, Folk, Murray, Dade,
and Gilmer counties, and at extremely low
figures. It is said that their red fields, that
the farmer can hardly raise a crop of grass
on, and scraggy hillocks or mountains that
are completely inaccessible to the plow or the - , . . ... - . . .-

THE SHOWALTER TRAGEDY.
When I got iu the house I found my wife
quite agitated, and the said to me; “Have

with any amount of money? Does he forget ter Showalter, lying on the floor, and her
that Cherokee Georgia is the richest iron
country on the glebe, and that iron is more
precious than golfl? Does he forget that
scores of capitalists, sitting to-day in murky
offices in London, are peering across the
Ocean greedily at these very lands that they
are selling (or almost giving away) as worth
less? Does he forget that there are rich com
panies in New York who this very moment
have in their counting rooms, maps of every
foot of iron land in Cherokee Georgia, and
that through their emissaries they are daily
buying them up?
It rejoices us to know that the old red hills
of Georgia have become as precious as if they
were hills of silver, but it grieves us to know
that the people who own them, and live on
them, and love them, are blinded by a liltl
husband, Dr. Joseph Clarence Showalter,
standing over her.
They are veTV respectable people, who have
settled here since the war.
For several days past it appears he had been
drinking very hard, and Mrs Showalter had
been obliged to tell him that if he would get
drank he really must not come home so.
During yesterday he was about the house as
usual, going out several times. Shortly be
fore the hour for tea, when the boarders were
assembled in the parlor, he came into the
house and passed through into the kitchen,
where he commenced upbraiding the cook.
Mrs. Showalter hearing the disturbance went
down into the kitchen and succeeded, affctr
considerable difficulty, in getting him into
their bed room, which is on the same floor as
the kitchen, being the first room ou
the right hand side on entering the house.
After reaching their bed room some words
pa sod between them, which could not be dis
tinctly heard, until be smacked her and
gold dust, and selling their matchless heritage ] threatened to kill her, when she declared that
! she would go after an officer and have him ar-
rested. He was heard to say; “Have me ar-
for worse than a mess of pottage.
Captain H. D. Cothran, a prominent batik* r
of Borne, adopted the right course iu regard
to these iron lands. He discovered through
a practical geologist employed, where rich de
posits were imbedded. He then, instead of
rushing off to New York where this
kDowlcdgo would have raised a million dol-
Irrs of stock to work the mines in less th»:: a
week, sat quietly down and eommvnced or
ganizing a home company to take charg .* of
the great work, and thus keep the money at
home, and enrich our own home people. Wid
ows, mechanics, guardians, merchants, farm
ers, embraced this golden opportunity to the
extent of their means, and are now drawing
from 30 to 90 per cent, on their investments.
In a half dozen companies formed in Borne,
and aggregating very near a million dollars’
worth of ttock, there is scarcely a single
stockholder who is not a Georgian. Mr. F. J.
Stone, Capt. Archer Griffith, Major Jno. T.
Burns, the Messrs. Nobles, and other pro
gressive men, are working up companies as
fast as they can, and all acting ou exactly
this same principle. While, of coarse, they
will welcome intelligent capital from any
source, the preference is given always to
Georgia capital.
This is the way to build up the St.de. The
iton interest of Cherokee GeoTgi 1 is to-day
the focal point of attention in nil thin eonn-
try, and it behooves the people who own part
and parcel of it to watch well before they lake
any more.
And above all, don’t yon sell tfcm, red land,
or rooky hill tops, for a song, before you have
a geologist to crack the darkish looking rocks
I on its surface with his wise little hummer.

rested it you choose, for damn me if
wouldn’t os soon be bung like Holiobau nnd
Nicholson ns be going to hell this sort of
way." Sbetb:n left the room and went np
stairs to take tea. Some time elapsed, and
ho called to her ill a very kind and persuasive
manner to come down stairs. This sbe re
fused to do for some time, but finally did go
down into the room where he was.
In a few minutes a piercing scream re
sounded through the house, followed by the
sounds of scuffling below. Mrs. Showalter’s
son by her first marriage, (Frederick BaszlOT),
eighteen years of age, ran down stairs, fol
lowed by several of the boarders, and rushed
into his mother's room, from whence the
scream had come. The scene that presented
itself entirely overcame him. There on the
floor, near the foot ot the bed, lay bis mother,
with her throat terribly and fatally gashed,
whilst her husband and murderer stood
grimacing over the dead body, with bis own
throat also badly cut, and tho blood flowing
down over hie bosom, whilst the razor wilt
which the fearful deeds had been committed,
lay on (he floor. Thrusting aside the mur
derer and would-be suicide, the son throw
himself upon the now lifeless body of bis
mother, but was removed by those who had
followed him down stairs, and the body of the
unfortunate woman wss raised and placed
npon the bed.
For a moment after being pushed aside by
tho sou, the murderer stood glaring npon
those around him, and then torned and walked
deliberately out of the door and down 8k
Paul street to tbo corner of Saratoga, where
he sat down npon the curbstone. The news
of tho horrible tragedy spread like wildfire,
and in a few minutes au excited crowd had
gathered arouud him. Officers Sanders,
Price and Chesgreen finding him there, took
kirn in their arms and carried him to the
Washington University Hospital, where the
wound in bis neck, extending from ear to ear,
was dressed and sewed by the physicians, the
murderer duriDg the operation occasionally
opening his eye# nnd saying : "Please raise
mo up," and once or twice asked for water.

did not sever the jognlar vein or carotid arte

UP THE AIR-LINE ROAD—THROUGH NORCROSS
GAINESVILLE AND ITS ATTRACTIONS.
Special Correspondence) of tlic He)aid.
Gainesville, Ga, September 1, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald;
Thinking a communication from “these
parts” might not be wholly unintertsting, I
attempt this (my first), and should it be
thought worthy of publicity, I will write up
my trip to Charlotte in weekly letters.
At G:45 a.m., the 29th nit., the shrill whis
tle of the locomotive warned us that we would
soon be on onr journey. The rumbling of
the car wheels, and the passing scenery alone
told us we were fast leaving behind us the far
famed Gate City. The track of the Air-Line
Railroad is so smooth, aud Mr. Riclmrds, the
engineer, is so perfect in Lis business, that it
is hard to discover that you are iu motion.
The crops along the line are very fine—the
farmers jubilant.
NORCROSS ! TWENTY MINUTES FOR BREAKFAST ! j
yelled the Lmkeman, and everybody got out
for who hasn’t heard of Cousin John Thrasher’s
Breakfast House, and only fifty e« n
breakfast.
Norcross is a growing village with about
five hundred inhabitants, and possesses a fine
climate, which has made it a fine summr*
resort. Cousin John has a line mineral spring
near the hotel, aud the house being the best
kept in Northeast Georgia, makes Norcross a
very desirable place of recreation. Here you
will find something not to be fonud elsewhere
in Georgia - a new railroad town of live hun
dred people, and “nary” bar room. They
have all woodbimd. Temperance has tr.ken
such an advanced step that our old friend
Bart” (than whom no wilder boy ever exist
ed) has turned temperance lectur. r. Norcross
possesses three things ol which she may be
justly pioud- the morality ol her citizens, her
fine oollegti(which bAHopened very flatteringly)
aud last, but not least, ber pretty ladies,
among whom are the Misses S., Miss SV. and
Miss F., who no doubt cause a great many
Atlanta young men to feel us though a little
recreation would be beneficial to their In alth,
and, of course, Norcross is the place.
Two yonng men, au Atlantese and a Ma-
couite, have been making frequent visits late
ly, and the Norcross boys say it must be “put
a stop to.” They swear vengeance; ami il
nothing else will do, a Ku-klux notice will be
served on them.
Here 1 find a curiosity- a “ business” man,
sixty-eight years old, who never took a paper
in bis life, and brags on it. His nam is Mr.
Goshen.
I found the That Boy of the “coming on”
paper had just left N.; but the Herald is the
favorite. Everybody subscribes that has the
money, and the balance are selling their cld
clothes to have the money on my return.
■I desire to return thanks to Messrs. Foster,
Pete & Baleuger, for kiudmss show n while in
their city. Two hours ride from Norcross
brought ns to Gainosville, where we took the
back with Mr. Caldwell (the efficient proprie
tor of the Planters Hotel,) which we reached
after a few minutes pleasant drive at two-
forty time over a good road.
Here we met our old friend Bill Findley,
who is now editing a newspaper called the
Gainesville Advertiser. Judging from its first
edition
IT WILL DE A POWER IN THE LAND.
May it prosper as it deserves.
The Eagle having moved her nest 1 found
on the second floor of the large brick build
ing on Athens street, where Bro. Red wine has
quite a pleasant office. lie was not in the
office when I appeared, but his excellent fore
man, Mr. Wilson, showed me around. The
Eagle is now painted on the material of the
Old Era, which gives it quite a mat appear
ance.
I learu that the Chicago Mining Company
are buying up all the mining lands in this
part of the country, and are making prepara
tions for mining especially.
Dinner hour being announced, I soon
found that Mr. Caldwell knows how to keep a
hotel. This has fceen called the “chicken
pie and yaller-legged chicken region, ’ and I
think it richly deserves it.
Gainesville Btill improves. Trade is rather
dull now, but the merchants expc-ct a large I
trade iu the fall.
New Holland is getting to bo a great water
ing place; but the young will play smut, and
throw camphor bottles at the serenaders.
There has just been a daily mail established
from this place to Dalonega. I leave for the
latter place to-morrow. Hope to send a leu' 7
list of huboenbers.
Every body has a kind word for the Her
ald, and especially for Bill Moore.

Saturday cvcum?, nnys tho Sacramento
Union, a gonllemnn in the employ of the Cen
tral Pacific itailroad Company drove out to a
{floes about fifteen miles from the city, where
his family are stopping, and soon afterward
started on his return to town. Before starting
he lighted his meerschaum and indulged in a
long and pleasant smoke as he drove along.
This over, he placed the pipe in tho ontcr
breast pocket ot big coat, and puid no more-
attention to it. By nnd by a pecniinr smell
greeted bis olfactories—ft smell of burning
woolen cloth—and, ns it increased, be began
to look aboot to sec if his garments wero on
fire, and at the firat movement he found out
that the whole pocket had burned out of his
coat, and tlie fire was spreading rapidly. He
grabbed at the burning material hastily, but
was so nervous about it that he frightened tbo
horse, and the animal ran. To make matters
worse, the lines were not buckled together,
and one slipped out of his grnsp while bo was
endeavoring to smother the fire with his other
hand. Still worse, tho increased speed In
creased tbe breeze, which fanned the fire, and
portions of it dropped down upon his pants,
burning through them, and causing him to
bounce op vnd down on tbe seat ax though he
were trying to settle an unusually hearty
meal I And there he was—home running
away, line dragging, and fire rapidly making
the enticle of his leg rival tte line ot his red
flannel under clothing ! At last, by dint of
dexterous clawing, he managed to smother
tbs fire, then stepped ont on the sbafU, re
covered the line, and in course of timo sub
dued the horse. Exceedingly thankful to got
ont of hie trouble without broken bones, he
rod. on to the oity in a subdued frame of
mind, and never thought of being profane
nntil, just as he was quietly slipping into a
clothing store, with tbe buffalo robe gathered
about him to conceal the deficiency of hie
wardrobe, he met tall in the face two Indy
friends, who insisted npon his escorting them
home, and wanted to know wbat in the world
