LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
That Okefenokee Expedition—A Real
ly Great Undertaking—lts Probable
Results—Atlanta Politics—Sambo
and His Bank—Dots.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Atlanta, October 20.
The new enterprise of the Daily Con
stitution to explore the Okefenokee
Swamp is eliciting considerable atten
tion and exciting much interest. Aside
from the transparent fact that it is a
big advertising dodge, the accession to
the party of Dr. Little, the State Geo
logist, and his engineering corps, and
the interest taken in it by Gov. Smith,
has given the affair an importance
equal to any movemeut of the kind for
years, not excepting the New York
Graphic’s unfortunate attempt to dis
cover the eastern current by means of
a mammoth balloon. Though the idea
of the project was born only a few
weeks ago, it has been noised abroad,
and the press of the entire country
has mentioned and commented fa
vorably upon the undertaking.—
Toil see it is -no small matter
for man to penetrate this vast area of
marshes and jungles, to say nothing of
the danger of being swallowed by alli
gators, hugged by bears and bitten by
snakes ! This great swamp is known
everywhere. Its reputation is second
only to the great Dismal Swamp of
North Carolina. To fully explore it and
thereby solve the problem of draining
it into the St. Mary's river and thus
bringing about its great utility, is an
enterpiise which, if successful, would
prove one that Georgia could well be
proud of. Very few have ventured
through it. Hunter, several years ago,
went through it, but his discoveries, as
was his expedition, was of no conse
quence. Mr. Charles R. Pendleton, of
Valdosta, has recently skirmished in
and around it, but he was not prepared
to enter far enough to make his skir
mishing of any value. The old negro
guide, Ben Yarborough, probably
knows more of this swamp than any
man living. He has been the guide of
every exploring party, and is employed
by the Constitution’s expedition in the
same capacity.
The Exploration.
Col. Clarke’s party will comprise
about twenty persons, selected from a
large number of applicants. They will
leave here early in November, and will
be joined by Dr. Little and Prof. Locke,
of the State geological service. They
start for the swamp from a point on
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, and
calculate on coming out through
Florida. Their equipments consist of
a month’s supply of provisions and a
little brown jug of whiskey for snake
bites, three large fly teDts, four two
horse wagons, full complement of arms
and a large boat. The boat is con
structed of light material, and can be
folded up like a napkin and carried
under the arm. It is of a recent patent,
and cost about SIOO. These boats are
in extensive use by the Canadian Gov
ernment in exploring service. The
party calculate on remaining four or
six weeks, and think they can have
completed their labors by that time.
Who They Are.
The expedition will be in command
of Col. E. Y. Clarke, editor of the Con
siitution. In the party are Charles R.
Pendleton, Dr. Haines (the surgeon of
the expedition), Geo. W. Hines, of Je
sup, Dr. Geo. 8. Little, Prof. Locke,
and a full corps of laborers for felling
trees, &c. There may be a few others
added, but as a large number would
entail much expense and trouble, the
party will be as small as possible. The
gentlemen named are scientists, and
their observations will be of incalcula
ble service. Their nearest station will
be thirty miles.
What the Result Will Be.
They propose to march right to the
centre of the great terra incognita, and
then spread out into various directions,
meeting at some point to be then de
termined on. Dr. Little’s object is to
find tho level of the swamp, and to dis
cover by what means it can be drained.
When drained, the land will be of the
richest soil for cultivation, and many
mineral deposits are supposed to lie
imbedded there. It may take years to
accomplish this, but even then the en
terprise will be of most invaluable ser
vice to the State.
Col. Clarke has not as yet published
his programme, but I have given the
most important features. The public
will look to his letters with a great
deal ofjnterest and pleasure. Here’s
a bumper to the success of the expedi
tion.
City Election.
Every other man in Atlanta is just
now a candidate for alderman. As you
pass along the street smiling faces and
sly winks greet you at every turn.
Thefe is no such thing as social dis
tinction here now. The line of demarca
tion has been rubbed out by the oil
suavity, and button-holeingis the order
of the day. Caucuses are held any and
everywhere. If you slip into the back
way of your favorite bar to get a tom
and jerry, you run against a caucus; if
you rush around an alleyway to cut off
distance you And a red-hot caucus; if
you slip over to prayer meeting you
are apt to come across a party of sly
old deacons and brothers discussing
the chances of their favorite man in the
race. Everybody, voters and non
voters, are in a whirl of excitement.
Antiquated maidens cease their venom
ous gossip and devote their scandal
moments to a confab on ward meetings.
Little boys And time enough from wip
ing their cold noses to bet their little
alls on the election. The man and
brother speculates on the result while
he eases the hod of bricks and mortar
on his muscular shoulder, and the
newspapers foam over like a mug of
cream beer every morning with the
proceedings of ward meetings and an
nouncements of aspiring candidates.
The nomination comes off next month,
and it is calculated that there will be a
little less than a thousand names to
ballot for. We are a determined set of
people, and if we don’t have an elec
tion as is an election, then there will be
a fuss.
The Freedman’s Bank.
The depositors of this fraud have
concluded to deposit their deposit
books with Mr. John H. James, and get
him to get what he can of the dividend.
Five thousand dollars is the dividend,
and I tell you there is some tall scram
bling for a slice of that pie. Poor fel
lows, they have learned that the Re
publicans are not so much their true
friends after all.
Weather and Business.
The weather is delicious and business
aspect auspicious. The mornings are
just cool enough to wrap our progres
sive forms within overcoats, but the
day tones down to loveliness before
sundown. Trade is frisky and the peo
ple are in most excellent humor. Yeri
ily, times are not so hard, after all
Martha.
The accommodating prodigy, who
regularly gathers around the piano of
a Sunday night and thinks he can sing,
may have been told that his voice
would be his fortune if it were devel
oped. but the people in the neighbor
hood ail prefer that he should remain
poor.

“THE BOYS IN GREY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous hearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a fine head enveloped iu grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. H old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it can be found on tho
shelves of every druggist in the land.
