REFLECTIONS IN SI’RIXO.
BY MADEI.INK J. BRYAN.
There is a gaycty about the spring with which I
have no sympathy; its perpetual revival of leaf
and bloom is too great a contrast to the inner
World, where so many feelings lie barren and so
many hopes withered.
The glad, the joyous spring is here,
With sunshine, birds and flowers;
The vines that late were bear and sear
Are chang’d to leafy tiow’rs.
All nature seemeth bright and gay—
Merrily glides the brook ;
The glad, the beaming sun’s warm ray
Shines over crag and nook.
The mock-bird singetli all the day
From tree top and from bow’r;
Alas! the music of his lay
lias lost its soothing pow’r.
Nor spring, nor bird, nor flower rare
Again can cheer my heart;
O! life to others bright and fair,
To me how drear thou art.
I wander out while yet the air
is fresh with breath of morn;
I Btrive to drive away dull care,
Yet cannot—l’m forlorn.
I cull the rarest rtow’r that blows
With which to deck my hair;
Alas! the brightness of the rose
But mocks at my despair.
Then from my flowing locks I tear
The symbol gay and bright;
1 cannot wear it in my hair—
It palls upon my sight.
Rather the cypress, gloomy, dark,
Should ’round my brow entwine—
An emblem fit with which to mark
A heart so lone as mine.
Alas ! for me there is no spring,
My hopes all withered lie;
Flowers may bloom and birds may sing,
But I must ever sigh—
Sigh for the happiness that’s fled,
For joys that come not back ;
For feelings, pleasures long since dead,
And scattered o’er life’s track.
Sweet spring! in thee I take no part—
The long, long days seem sad;
With tiu 'tin winter of the heart
When thou mik'd other* <flail.
Melrose, Houston county, April 19, 1869.
MEMORIAL FLOWERS.
At Fort Lafayette, Ind., on the 150th of May, the
graves of the Federal soldiers were decorated.
During the ceremony Dr. Kice read the following
letter, which accompanied a beautiful wreatli:
“i’leasc place this wreath on the grave of some
poor Hebei soldier. My dear papa died at Ander
sonville, and perhaps some little girl in the South
will place a wreath of roses sometimes ou the
grave of my dear, dear papa.
, “Jennie Vernon.”
Near a fair city of the distant West,
The people met,
And unto aching bosoms bands were pressed,
Aud eyes were wet;
And o’er the green graves of the nation’s dead,
The young spring flowers, memorial flowers, they
spread.
And for their loved and lost the women wept—
And prayed,
While the impartial sunbeams softly crept
'I lirougli the deep shade,
And showered its golden glory o’er the grave
Os Southern hero and of Northern brave.
And in that silent city, where the dead
Took their repose,
No sweet magnolia flower its fragrance shed,
Nor Southern rose.
And all, unconscious of the cold neglect,
In their deep sleep our Southern soldiers slept.
When for the grave that held a fallen foe
There came a wreath,
A sweet peace ottering in that day of woe
And selfish grief,
And from a child made orphan by the war,
Whose father’s grave his darling never saw.
Hod’s blessing rest upon thee, gentle child ;
May happy hours,
And days, and months, and years upon thee smile;
Thy gift of flowers
Will bring more peace to our distracted land
Than iron chains or swords in tyrant’s hand.
Thrice happy man that takes unto his home
Thy young, warm heart;
For thy soft eyes will drive away all gloom
With loving art;
May rosy children play their merry plays
Around thy door, and crown thy happy clays.
Thy generous words give token that the day
Will dawn again,
And local feuds and factions pass away ;
That noble men—
Men born of mothers such as thou wilt be,
Will make our land the birthright of the free.

From the Pittsburg Commercial, June 14.
Fort Wayne, Indiana, June 13.
About sunset last evening, at Covington,
Troy County, Indiana. Fred Remster, an
auctioneer, until lately in the employ of
Mr. John Dodd, committed a series of ter
rible tragedies. His first victim was an
aged widow lady named Jones, 75 years
old, aud with whom he boarded. Remster
shot her with a six-shooter, the ball en
tering the neck, near the ear. She ex
pired in a few’ minutes.
His next victim was a daughter of Mr.
Breckeling, a highly esteemed young lady,
17 years of age. Miss Breckeling, hearing
the discharge of fire-arms from the oppo
site side of the street, weut to iier father’s
door, when she was immediately fired
upon by Remster, the ball hitting her
above tlie ear. The wound is considered
fatal, and she can live but a few hours,
her brains coming out at the hole.
After shooting Miss 8., the murderer
rushed down through the street aud past
the excited people, frantically calling for
John Dodd. He fired at a man near Jas.
McMahon’s residence, but the cap only
snapping, no harm was done. He con
tinued on his course, aud meeting John
Franster, ran up to him aud sticking the
pistol in Frauster’s mouth, pulled the
trigger, thecapagain snapping and saving
the life of his intended fourth victim.
Fanster grappled with the murderer and
succeeded in disarming him and holding
him until the excited people could render
assistance, when he was conveyed to jail
under a strong guard, who kept at bay the
furious mob which had by this time gath
ered. During the prevalence of the excite
ment now in the vicinity of the murder,
it is impossible to glean any facts that will
show the cauee of the deed. It is known
that Remster had been drinking very
hard, aud gambling desperately, and pecu
niary losses may have driven him to the
commission of the deed. He has been
married but a few weeks The prisoner
will have a preliminary hearing to-mor
row, if left alive that long.
HORRORS OF THE TRAPEZE
AN OUTRAGEOUS PERFORMANCE.
A scene of considerable excitement
occurred at the American Thiatre, on
Walnut street, above Eighth, on Satur
day evening, during the flying trapeze
performance of two artists, announced
on the bills as Lilia and Zoe. One of
their feats consists in Lilia, a full grown
young woman, swinging herself by
means of two ropes suspended from the
ceiling, from a platform erected in front
of the gallery, entirely across the audi
torium, until she touches with her feet
a trapeze that hangs at considerable al
titude over the orchestra Securing her
self on this trapeze with her feet, her
body swings downwards, and she re
mains in that position, while Zoe, a child
of II years of age, mounts the platform
in the gallery and seizing the iron rings
attached to the ropes mentioned, throws
herself off and darts towards Lilia, and
when nearing her, the child throws a
somersault in mid air, and her only
chance from being crushed to death by
falling from the dizzy height among the
audience in the parquette, is being
caught by Lilia, who hangs with her
head downwards from the trapeze.
Dertain death would be the result of
the slightest mistake made by either of
the performers. On Saturday the feat
was successfully performed, it is true,
but Lilia barely caught the child as she
revolved in the air. As the latter was
descending, however, to the stage, the
man whose duty it was to catch her
from the hands of Lilia, failed to do so,
and the poor child fell to the platform
placed over the orchestra, a distance of
several feet, and .Struck her head and
otherwise injured herself.
The child was picked up, when she
immediately placed her hands to her
head, and it was apparent that she was
seriously hurt. Notwithstanding this,
she was most inhumanly ordered to re
mount the platform in the gallery and
repeat the feat. The child obeyed,but
such conduct on the part of those hav
ing charge of the exhibition was too
much for the audience to stand, and
there was a unanimous cry of “No,
no !” “ Shame, shame !” “ Take her
back, take her back !” &c. In the mean
time the child mounted the platform,
and then stood ready to repeat the feat,
but the audience rose en masse , to their
great credit, and prevented the ropes
from being handed to her. Unable to
combat such a display of public indig
nation and disapproval, the child was
ordered to retire, which she did amid
the most tumultuous applause.* Now,
whether she could have performed the
feat again in her then condition, will
be seen from the following :
After she had retired, the stage man
ager advanced and stated that she de
sired to perform another feat, and that
she was not injured, and the consent of
the audience was asked. There was a
general cry of “No, no,” and consider
able hissing; but, taking advantage"of
a few cries of “Go on,” from the boys
in thcgallerj’, the child again appeared,
and mounting the platform, took bold
of the rings and swung herself off for
the purpose of catching the hanging
trapeze with her feet, and then making
a somersault while she descended into
an outstretched net. As the audience
felt would be the case, the child essayed
the feat but failed to catch the trapeze,
owing to her nervous state, which was
natural under the circumstances, but
she was saved from injury by her com
mendable presence of mind in not let
ting go of the ropes. The consequence
was that she swung backward.^and for
wards amid a scene of much excitement,
and was relieved from her perilous po
sition by the audience, who caught her
and carried her to the stage.

Marriage After a Thirty-Three
Years Engagement.
On Sunday last Miss Matilda Griffith,
who has long been a respected resident
of Greenville, and Mr. John Grant, of
Ireland, were married at the residence
of the former, by the Rev. E. T. Buist,
I). D. The Greenville Enterprise says :
The incident is a pleasing one; a ro
mantic history attaches. Thirty-three
years have fled since the parties became
engaged, nor have they seen each other
in that time, and during a long portion
of it were ignorant of each other’s
whereabouts. They wero both attach
ed when mere children, in their native
Ireland ; hut when the engagement be
came known, the families of both were
opposed to it from opposite religious
views, and that of Miss G. contrived to
send her, against her will, to the United
States. Mr. G., all disconsolate, enlist
ed in the British army, not being aware
at first whither the lady had gone. His
career as a soldier continued twenty-six
years; in the meantime ho fought
through the terrible Seypoy rebellion
in India, making as many hairbreadth
escapes “in the imminent deadly breach
es” as Othello. He returned to England
some three or four years ago, and,
having in the meantime had some cor
respondence with the lady by letter—
for his devotion never faltered—sailed
lor this country. She was on her voy
age at the same time to old Ireland,
and the ships passed each other, lie
found his way to the great West, and
having been prostrated by cholera, and
losing the means brought with him, he
went to Montana to recruit. Last Fri
day he arrived by the cars in Greenville,
suddenly and unheralded, and forthwith
sought the house of 3liss G., who knew
him instantly on sight, but he did not
recognize her iu the same manner, for
she had changed from the fragile girl
to the mature woman. Os course she
was agitated and overjoyed as he was,
and there being no longer any impedi
ment, an immediate marriage was de
termined on. The result was their
union on Sunday, as before stated.
Second Marriage of Birds.
It usually happens, when the male of
any species is killed during the breed
ing season, that the female soon pro
cures another mate. There are, most
likely, always a few unmated birds of
both sexes, within a given range, and
through these the broken links may be
restored. Audubon or Wilson, I forget
which, tells of a pair of fish-hawks or
ospreys, that built their nest in an an
cient oak. The male was so zealous in
the defence of the young that it actu
ally attacked with beak and claw a
person who attempted to climb into its
nest, putting his face and eyes in great
jeopardy. Arming himself with a heavy
club, the climber felled the gallant bird
to the ground and killed him. In the
course of a few days the female had
procured another mate. But naturally
enough the step-father showed none of
the spirit and pluck iu defence of the
brood that had been displayed by the
original parent. When danger was
nigh, he was seen afar off, sailing around
in placid unconcern.
It is generally known that when
either the wild turkey or domestic tur
key begins to lay, and afterwards to
sit and rear the brood, she secludeaher
self from the male, who then, very sen
sibly, herds with others of his sex, and
betakes himself of haunts of his own
till male aud female, both old and
young, meet again on common ground,
late in the fall. But rob the sitting
bird of her eggs, or rob her of her ten
der young, and she immediately sets
out in quest of a male, who is no lag
gard when he hears her call. The same
is true of ducks and other aquatic fowls.
The propagating instinct is strong, and
surmounts all ordinary difficulties.—
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
No doubt the widowhood I had caused i
in the case of the woodpeckers was of
short duration, and chance brought, or
the widow drummed up, some forlorn
male, who was not dismayed by the
prospect of having a large family of
half-grown birds ou his hands at the
outset.
I have seen a fine cock robin paying
assiduous addresses to a female bird as
late as the middle of July; and I have
no doubt that his intentions were hon
orable. I watched the pair for half an
hour. The hen I took it, was in the
market for the second time that season,
but the cock, from his bright, unfaded
plumage, looked like anew arrival. The
hen resented every advance of the male.
In vain he strutted around her and dis
played his fine feathers; every now and
then she would make at him in the
most spiteful manner. He followed her
to the ground, poured into her ear a
fine half-suppressed warble, offered her
a worm, flew back to the tree again
with a great spread of plumage, hopped
around her on the branches, chirruped,
chattered, flew gallantly at an intruder,
and was back in an instant at her side.
No use—she cut him i*hort at every
turn. The denouement I cannot relate,
as the artful bird, followed by her ar
dent suitor, soon flew away beyond my
sight. It may not be rash to conclude,
however, that she held out no longer
than was prudent. On the whole, there
seems to be a system of woman’s rights
prevailing among the birds, which con
templated from the standpoint of the
male, is quite admirable. In almost all
eases of joint interest, the female bird
is the most active. —John Burroughs in

The Solar Eclipse in August.
A great solar eclipse will take place
on the 7th day of August next and will
be one of the most interesting eclipses
that has occurred or may occur in the
United States for many years.
The eclipse first begins on the earth
at sunrise in tho Pacific Ocean, east of
Japan, in latitude 36 deg. 53 min. 3 sec.
north ; longitude 138 deg. 37 min. 4 sec.
west of Washington. It becomes total
first upon the earth, in Siberia, at sun
rise, in latitude 52 deg. 41 min. 9 sec.
north ; longitude 165 deg. 26 min. 4 sec.
west of Washington. The eclipse is
total at noon at Alaska, lat. 61 deg. 46
min. 9 sec. north ; longitude 68 deg. 4
min. 6 sec. west. The lino of the total
eclipse now runs southeasterly, grazing
the coast near Sitka; thence running
north into British America, and enter
ing the United States near the origin
of Milk River, longitude 30 deg. west—
thence through the southwest corner
of Minnesota, and diagonally through
lowa, crossing the Mississippi River at
Burlington, Iowa; thence through Illi
nois, just north of Springfield, and cross
ing the Ohio River near Louisville, Ky.;
thence through the southwest corner of
West Virginia, and through North Car
olina just south of Raleigh, and thence
to Newbern, and entering the Atlantic
just north of Beaufort, N. C., and end
ing at sunset in the ocean, in latitude
31 deg. 15 min. 2 see., and longitude 9
deg. 36 min. 6 sec. east.
Along this line described above, the
eclipse will be total, and at all other
places in the United States it will be
partial.
THE PEACE JUBILEE—CLOSING SCENES.
A telegram fiom Boston dated June 19th
says :
“ Tbe closing performance at the Na
tional Peace Jubilee was given to-day by
from 7,000 to 9,oooschool children, attract
ing a large and delighted audience. Ole
Bull performed a solo, Parepa Rosa and
Adelaide Phillips sang a duet, and other
pieces were giveu, all of which were en
cored. The closing piece, ‘The One Hun
dreth Psalm,’ was sung by the children,
the audience joining. Several children,
overcome by the heat and excitement,
fainted during the concert, but they re
ceived immediate attention, and sustained
no serious injury.
“The members of the orchestra pre
sented Mr. Gil i ore with a gold watch and
chain.”
Another dispatch says:
“The dust iu the neighborhood of the
Coliseum, is six inches deep, and about
34 o'clock a sudden gust of wind caused
the vast throng of persons there assembled
to look as if they had just come out of a
flour mill. The exclamatiens of the rich
ly dressed ladies may better be imagined
than described. Borne of them were to be
found neither in Lord Chesterfield's Code
nor in the Bible.
“All sorts of four-wheeled vehicles are
pressed into service as temporary stage
coaches. Common wagons with settees
placed in them, old express wagons with
canvas tops, aud even butcher carts, go
about with painted signs ou their sides.
One of these last was suddenly stopped by
tlie police this afternoon, as one of the
hind wheels was about to break. It had
no sooner been brought to a stand-still
than crash weut the wheel, and a shriek
ascended in chorus from the ladies inside
—not a chorus of jubilee this time, how
ever. Fortunately, no one was injured.”
A Boston letter in the Baltimore Hun,
says:
“Musically speaking, this mammoth
thing is a dead failure. Zerrahn is a tnu»
sician aud a great couductor, and he does
not pretend that the thousands of scream
ing voices aud the dm of an unwieldy
orchestra are making music. The cho
ruses, symphonies aud oratorios, to say
nothing of the Anvil Chorus (one hun
dred anvils) and the Star-Spangled Ban
ner, with cannon obligato, are only hideous
noises—confusion worse confouuded. —
Eichberg is a sensitive, quiet-looking
man, evidently too much of a tone poet to
gather in the bewildering harmouies (?)
of twenty thousand voices. Gilmore is
neither a musician nor conductor, neither
could he have gotten up this thiug ; he is
only the cats-paw of a shrewd financial
committee who have conceived this
penny-making scheme and doing it to a
turn.
“Without Ole Bull, Parepa aud Carl
Rosa, Adelaide Phillips, and I must add
the silver cornet oi Arockle, this musical
(sic) festival is the most magnificent hum
bug ever conceived or executed.”
HOW THE “SPIRIT” PHOTOGRAPHS ARE
TAKE A-
A Chicago photographer has learned the
trick to perfection, and a few days ago he
invited a newspaper writer to witness it,
who gives the following account of the
operation :
The negative plate was prepared in the
regular way, and deponent took his seat.
In due time came the word “all right,”
and the photograph was taken. \Ybile
the writer sat iu his chair, iutently gazing
into the bull’s-eye of the camera, Mr.
Bhaw’s assistant had whitened his face
and hands to the complexion of a barrel of
flour, aud when deponent left the chair he
took a position beside it, and pointed
steadily into vacancy. The cloth was
whisked from the camera for an instant,
again replaced, aud the spirit photograph
was complete.
It w’as a great success. The photograph
of the writer was produced strong and
well defined, upou a dark background,
aud just behind him stands a ghostly
form, scarcely’ discernible, and yet perfect
as a ghost might want to be. In another
picture the delusion was still more height
ened. When the first impression had
been taken, and the chair vacated, the
ghostly form of the assistant was placed
immediately in front of the chair, and by
this means, in the photograph, one looks
clear through the well defined form of
the ghost at tbe subject sitting behind on
the chair. The picture of the spirit is the
very perfection of airy mistiness, and is
well calculated to impress the true be
liever as an unearthly vapor.
Where deception is intended, it is but
necessary, after the photograph of the sit
ter is taken, to invite him out of the room.
He is generally’ willing to go, because he
well knows that his own picture cannot
be taken without his presence, and few
would suspect that that of the ghost could
subsequently be added.
Mrs. Shaw, wife of the photographer,
who is a handsome blonde, with very light
curls, makes a beautiful spirit, because the
lighter the object the better defined is the
impression. When on 6is inclined to be
lieve in this humbug, it is an easy matter
for the imagination to recognize almost
auy likeness in the spirit impression, even
to that of an old grandfather whom one
lias never seen.

Mount Algodon, Ga., May 29.
One who would duly appreciate South
ern hospitality must be the recipient
thereof.
There yet remain in Georgia some of
thi.se beautiful and comfortable plantation
houses whose inner life carries you back to
the bright old days beyond tbe dark abyss
the war has left—an abyss which may be
bridged over but never can be filled up or
hidden from sight or memory. Though the
scar is veiled iu the old time beauty, leav
ing no visible trace of the “ Bummer*' ”
path, jet there is a living memory of wrong
aud outiage that will not find expression iu
word or action, and all true men will re
spect it
Leaving “Glen Holly,” whence my first
letter, I was honored with a cordial and
polite invitation from Colonel Seaborne
Jones, to the hospitalities of
“MOUNT ALGODON.”
This splendid estate is situated in Polk
county, and comprises about one thousand
acres of excellent land, besides vast quar
ries of slate and marble, which are just
being developed, and w hich promise im
mense pecuniary returns. Tbe plantation
is divided by tbe Euharle, one of those
beautiful, clear and bold streams which
abound in “Cherokee Georgia,”and whose
refreshing loveliness fills one with de
lightful emotions while he contemplates
them everywhere. This stream was jailed
by the Indians “Ah-ba-la,” signifying
“it laughs as it runs.” If it were in New
England, it would serve for twenty thou
sand spi tidies, yet here it laughs on its bed
of marble, gems and gold, until it is lost
in the beautiful Etowah.
The mansion at Algodon is large aud
imposing, yet snug and comfortable in all
of its appointments. It stands on a gently
rising eminence, in a beautiful lawn of
about Lweuty acius, wlltl laige uaks, wai
nuts, hickory, and other deciduous trees
and evergreens. The gardens aud orch
ards are extensive and well supplied with
rarest vegetables, ilow’ers, and fruits of
choicest varieties; indeed, here are all
things, within and without, which can be
reasonably desired in a home.
Though in the path of Hooker’s Corps,
“on the inarch to the sea,” this man
sion was not burned. Two miles distant,
the little hamlet of Van Wert, with its
court bouse, and some farm houses and
barns, and stacks and fences, were laid in
ashes, and the flames lighted the midnight
path of the corps up Dugdown Mountain
on its way to the “meeting” at New Hope
Church.
I commenced this letter with a single
purpose of giving you some faint concep
tion, for more would be iu vain to attempt,
of the vast mineral resources and exceed
ing beauty ami fertility of this particular
locality. Within .a circumference de
scribed by a radius ot ten miles from
where I am sitting are resources which
would make the wealth of an empire.
Amongst the minerals are gold, in well
defined veins, in “placars,” and in the
beds of the streams aud streamlets (I
should not like to predict what “pros
pecting” might discover); iron ores, such
as the red and brown hemalite, black ox
ide, and specular ; copper ores of exceed
ing richness. Here, too, are vast moun
tains of slate, equal iu quality to any in
the world; marble of exquisite fineness,
iu every variety of color and shade ; grind
stone, mill-stone, lithographer’s stone,
tripoli, &c., «fcc, There is one formation
of which I never have seen the like;
when first quarried it uiay be brought to
any desired shape by a common hand-saw
or drawing-knife, but when exposed to
the weather for a short time, it becomes
like a very hard sand-stone. It exhibits,
on a smootli surface, the most beautiful
colors—yellow, red, pink, green, orange,
brown, &c.
Here also are extensive deposits of min
eral paint, red aud yellow ochre of the
purest quality. The springs are truly
wonderful; clear, cold aud fresh, they
gush forth in every ravine ou the sides
and tops of the hills, and flow’ off in con
siderable streams ; one Colonel Jones and
m\self visited. It gushes from the base
of a huge rock, on the “Dugdown Moun
tain,” about two-thirds of the distauce to
the summit. Running a distauce of a
few hundred yards, it sinks outof sight
hut not out of hearing—beneath the rocks,
aud again appears about one hundred
yards distant, then plunges over a perpen
dicular ledge, about forty or fifty feet, and
passes ou to the foot of the mountain, a
cold, full stream. Amongst the springs
are several strougly impregnated; one
leaves on the rocks a considerable incrus
tation of a whitish brown color, aud has
the taste of crude alum very strong. At
another point, gas rises from the bed of a
bright flowing brook, causing great com
motion in tiie water, which is increased
on disturbing the earth at the bottom. It
is said that if a gunbarrel is sunk down a
few inches into the mud in the brook, and
a lighted match is held at the top, a bright
and continuous flume is emitted. I did
not try the experiment, but I am assured
that it has been tried with complete sue
cess.
I should utterly fail in the best essay of
which I deem myself capable to do justice
to the singular beauty of this truly won
derful locality. Here is the south western
extremity of the “Blue Ridge,” and nature
seems as if she must needs build no farther
this way. Here the “ridge” is broken into
“spurs,” and between these are lesser hills
and valleys so eucliauting in their loveli
ness that they seem the creations of a
pleasant dream. Not alone are the valleys
fertile, the hills and mountains to their
utmost peaks are covered with beautiful
verdure. There are the loftiest pines,
oaks, black-walnut, butternut, hickory,
ash, locust, chesuut, mulberry, catalpa,
the beautiful box-elder, and other hardy
trees, all indicating a rich, vigorous soil.
In one of these charming valleys is
Mount Algodon. aud through a chaiu, or
succession of such, extending westwardly
from Cartersville to the State line of Ala
bama, is now beiug constructed.
“THE CARTERSVILLE AND VAN WERT
RAILROAD.”
This road, from Cartersville, oil the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, to this
point, is twenty-one miles long; from this
to the Alabama line, eighteen miles,
through a charming valley, where it will
be met by a road eastward from Cross
Plains, a point ou the Selma aud Rome
Railroad. It has the indorsement of its
bonds by the State of Georgia to the
amount of $12,000 per mile. It is to be
completed to this point on or before the
first of January next.
The inducement to the aid of the State
is the development of the slate aud mar
ble quarries, aud the immense mineral re
sources of this locality’, and the entire re
gion to the State line.
The agricultural products along the road
are wheat, corn, oats, cotton, tobacco,
fruits. The crops of wheat and cotton are
most important. Clover and timothy
flourish well here, and are uow receiving
especial attention. All the fruits of the
North flourish here. I have never seen
finerorchardsof choice apples and peaches,
pears, plums, cherries, in abundance.
Wild fruit is truly marvellous in its luxu
riant profusion ; blackberries, raspberries
aud mulberries; while ou the ruggedest
mountain-sides the whortleberries literal
ly encumber the ground.
Though tliis section of country may be
called “thickly settled,” yet I have been
thinking why it is that it has uot, to-day,
ten times its present population. To the
white man the country is comparatively
new, the Indians having left it only iu
1837. White men would not come here
from amongst Northern farmers while
the West was open to them; uothiug
could tempt them to look towards a coun
try where slavery was. Now, things have
changed, and men are learning that this
is peculiarly the “white man's country."
Here are, at a low price, rich lauds, healthy
atmosphere, pure sweet water, a climate
uusurpa-sed, no intense heat, no rough
winter winds, ice and snow are rarely
seen. Here are a people intelligent, culti
vated and refined, who are glad to wel
come the “new comer” with genuine hos
pitality. .
The negroes are deserving of all praise.
The prowling, prigging carpet-bagger has
exhausted his base cajolery upon them,
and yet they are not altogether ruined,
Indeed, in good families here you will find
the “old servants,” and you wonder if
they are really free. Yes, the good ser
vant was always “free” to his utmost
wish ; aud generally you shall learn that
the negro does not like his new freedom
half so well as his old privileges. Say to
your readers they will never regret the
cost and time of a visit to Cherokee. Geor
gia, especially the Valley of the Etowah
Heavy on Stokes.— During a recent
debate between Stokes and Senter, op
posing gubernatorial candidates at Mor
ristown, Tennessee, Senter alluded to the
fact that one of the negroes was in the
crowd whom Stokes had sold. The col
ored man was appealed to, and it is said
he replied, looking at Stokes, “ Yes, you’s
de man.”

pathize by costivcness, diarrhoea, and dysentery.
The principal act ion of these Pills is on the Mtom
