AUGUSTA, QA.: Friday Morning, October 22, 1875. 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. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR For all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen. MALARIOUS FEVERS, BOWEL COMPLAINTS, DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL DEPRESSION, RESTLESSNESS, JAUN DICE, NAUSEA. SICE HEADACHE, CON STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS. It is eminently a Family Medicine, and by being kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an hour of suf fering, and many a dollar in time, and doctors’ bills. After Forty Years’ trial, it is still re ceiving the most unqualified testimo nials of its virtues, from persons of the highest character and responsibility. Eminent physicians commend it as the most EFFECTUAL SPECIFIC for Constipation, Headache, Pain in the shoulders, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Pain in tho Region of the Kidneys, Despondency, Gloom, and Forebodings of Evil, all of which are the offspring of a diseased Liver. The Liver, the largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of the dis ease, ana if not Regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness, and Death will eusue. IF you feel Dull, Drowsy, Debili tated, have frequent Headache, Mouth Tastes ba lly, poor appetite and Tongue Coated, you are suffering from Torpid Liver or ‘ Biliousness,” and nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently. “I have never seen or tried such a simple, efficacious, satisfactory and pleasant rem edy in my life.”—H. Hainer, at. Louis, Mo. Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. “I occasionally use, when my condition requires it, Dr. Simmons’ Liver Regulator, with good effect.”—Hon. alkx. id. Ste phens.

I can safely recommend it to the world as the best medicine I have ever used for that class of diseases it purports to cure.”—H. F. Thig pen. President of City Bank. “Simmons’ Liver Regulator has proved a good and efficacious medicine.”—o. A. Nut ting. Druggists. “We have been acquainted with Dr. Sim mons’ Liver Medicine for more than twen ty years, and know it to be the best Liver Regulator offered to the public.”—M. R. Lyon and H. L.

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.
