eii sullies, which were watered by the

S! r n x>s The Indians were much pie ised to
tl! T; i this favorite retreat, and they often came
* f ‘ '* married squaws, to have their unruly dis-
Q r */ n s meumorphosed, with ablutions in this
P 0" and mysterious fountain. The conse-
that every hut and wigwam were
Ue "v t orues and the warriors were the noblest
prospered of their race.
*' Ahoi't forty years ago when the Indians still
ii of this country, a tobacco dealer
r Vorth Carolina, with a full load of tobacco
° i weapons for traffic, entered Chattanooga
*?; a nd approached the mountain by Ross’
' At the base, he met a small party
P whites- who w ere re exploring the country for
01 rilf aril 'peculation. Desirous of visiting
® ! ‘"p e vii’s Bathing House, Washbowl, springs
IVJ the like, they bargained w ith him for his
f . e . aii-J :.i‘»seif as guide, and began the ab-
I 'Vc- nt by a;! old trail. At the spring, they
[ U|^ ',i a encampment of half-breeds who
■°'H' jst"returned from the chase, and whose
1 Iws 1 ws uaJ just finished their ablutions in the
spring hard by. The curiosity of the
v 4 Cabman was aroused by some remark
‘ hjjo tni'j-:ct which led him to make inquiries.
T e iiall-oieeds were disposed to humor the old
1 ,«■ and they gave him a lo°g account of the
of those properties in the spring—how it
Vi ' ; impregnated many generations back by the
Great spirit for the purpose of diiving out evil
Loin which breeded in the mighty cavern,
/j.. |oWn as the Devil’s Bathing House, from the
i -! that Rocky creek tumbles into it, and the
’•r-y fills the vacuum below with a gloomy
L) and which were wont to possess the bo
di,.i of ail, male and female, who ventured near
tL- abrupt prescipices. This virtue was effec
tual until the demons became too ambitious and
as-Mred to invade the “ happy hunting ground,”
ar ‘l G P aan to be so quarrelsome and brutish, that
the Greet Hunter was incensed against them
mare than ever, and dipping a bundle of arrows
in the spring to render them effectual against
spirits, he made a general attack and extermina
te! them to the last. This warfare with the de
mons, connected the name of the Prince of De
mons’whicb it bears to this day.
she virtue of the water was found to be dif
frrent after this event, and many years rolled on
before it was discovered what was the peculiar
nature ol the pool. One day, an old virago in
the tribe, notorious lor turbulence and disorder,
stooping over to drink, fell in, with a partial im
mersion. When she recovered herself, amid the
mirth of the tribe, her voice, heretofore harsh
aiid snappie r, mirubile dictu, was soft and most
agreeable, and so marked was the transformation
of her manner and disposition, that it led to in
vestigation, and soon became known to the
tribe. For a long time, this remarkablae virtue,
acted only on those having Indian blood in their
veins, but the kindness of the early missionaries,
so wrought upon the graces of the Great Spirit,
that be extended the blessing for the benefit of
wl ite ladies, which is true to this generation.
The half-breeds related many interesting tra
ditions connected with this fountain to the ex
ploring party, which acted like the oracles of
Delphi on the simple mind of the North Caroli
inan tobacco man, and it took him a long time
to digest the facts. Finally he began to mutter
to himself, and more audibly in the end, about
the value of his wagon load, and how happy he
would sacrifice ail “if only his Judy were
here;”‘’if only Judy could bathe in this wa
ter.”
To our henpecked brethren who have been so
foolish as to }oke themselves in miserable, in
stead of happy bonds ot wedlock, we will say
go.seek the "moving of this benevolent pool, 5 ’
and baptize their weaker vessels, that the re
mainder of their days may be sweetened and
hallowed.— Chattanooga Advertiser.
Speech of Judge Johnson In Macon.
Od last Thursday night Judge Johnson de
livered a speech in Macon, which for power of
expression, force of argument, or aptness of il
lustration, we have not heard equalled for many
a day. The room was filled with a highly re
spectable and attentive audience, who during
the entire address, gave frequent and hearty to
kensot pleasure and satisfaction. The rotten
platform which the u Conservative party” re
centiy erected at Milledgeviiie, under the direc
tion of that ingenious Mr. Robert
Toombs,quaked, and trembled, and fell to pieces
under the powerful and well aimed blows of the
Democratic candidate. He repelled with indig
nation the charge of disunion which had been
made against him, and though he had no wish
to deny that he was an member of the
o<d Southern Rights party, he proved by the record
tuat he bad never favored secession as a remedy
for tire evils of the Compromise. He exposed
the shallow artifice, by which the opposition,
a miserable system ot garbled extracts,
seek to excite the animosity of the Union De
mocracy against him, and invoked mutual for
bearance and reconciliation with a forcible elo
quence which convinced the judgment and ex
v -eo the approbation of his hearers. He passed
■urn tnese personal explanations (to which he
Ueen driven by the repeated misrepresenta
mns ot his opponents.) to the defence and vin
■icdtion ot Gen. Pierce. He avowed that the
fluent had appointed no man to office who
jo not stand upon the Georgia Platform, and
c..a,ler:ged the world to produce any proof to the
; 0 '.r2iy. And then in a strain ot mingled log
j ar id satire, which for many months will haunt
' e recollection of the Conservative gentry, he
■ posed the inconsistency of those men who dare
3| tack the Administration, alter they them
hail endorsed, and vindicated, and besla
adulation, Daniel Webster and Mil
l!lmore, who never faltered in their devo

IN offering the services oi the steamer FASHION,

and myself, whoso entire attention will bo given to
the interest of her patrons.
This boat was built in this city, and great care
has been taken in hor construction to make her
worthy of the trade for which she is intended.
Her capacity is about 2000 halos Cotton, hor
draught es water only 13 inches, which will enable
hor at all seasons of the year, to deliver her freight
promptly.
Her ontiro cargo will be taken between decks,
which will not only prevent damage to goods in
case of snagging, but will add much to the condi
tion of packagos discharged from her. Mr. M. A.
Cohen is the agent of this lino in Savannah, whore
