Morgan, Calhoun County, Ga., | June 19ih, 1869 ) My Darling ‘‘Mother Early.” * I am sorry indeed to know that you* “ire*’, ha* been aroused against your “prodigal son’ Ait Liner, Torjhisjassertion of facts, and his differing in a polite, respectful and rev erential manner to the ground of your claims, for the Bainbridge, Guthbert aud Columbus Railroad. As to the charge of <*£%*you see proper to prefer against me, in yonr article dT the 9th instant, I emphatically deny, but, as perhaps it was only a facitious allegation I let it pass, and simply assure my old “Mother. Earfy’ that her “prodigal son’ cherishes for her, nothing but the love and reverence that is due from an affectionate child 1o a devoted mother: and for all her noble sons a sincere brotherly Imre—and may I not too, add to the list, the fair jewels of the lovely old matron—her Marry'*, Saliie's Mattie’s Hattie's dec, form a constellation of superior exceflence and unsurpassed all revolving gracefully in woms>n's most exalted shrine, radiating home with smiles ofteve and joy. and refreshing with the Aewa of consolation, A© bereaved and disconsolate. And not uiifrequently, does the splendor of their dazzling satellites eclipse tlife Sun (son,) or absorbs his rays, leaving him an opaque, heart-broken htdivid oai, seeking mercy «t a merciless shrine © V how Cruel even the thought. But} as I api digressing, I return to the subject. If my early Sabbathical instructions were ttCg tected as yort CrtrreCtly insinuate Mother, and that Solomon's mode of correction was supplanted by milder means of putrisft* merit; it Was your fault, not miue, there fore the reproach is ift the parent not the child. Other Consolations the “prodigal” has, that mothers are proverbial for impar tiality and while*she Was. r&dety neglecting, the trainiug of her wayward there were many ulhers who veftYfi|Bt of the same spo >n, and eat sap. and taler fnHf the same pan- Do mamma learn a IJ ® rom this, arid not let the many young hopefuls you have now under vonr fostering enre, suffer as did the ‘ prodigal*' and many pf his buddies.

Hut the world is progressive. Now-a-days “Godfrey’s Cordial.’ “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup” with a little “Simmons’’ medicine now and then, others inore then Jayqes almanac will hold with a hush-baby—den der huney don’t Cry for “Solpmou’s rod,” That’s the pew fangled treatment you give your boys these days, that makes men of them before they shed their teeth, or know anything about that swept period of 1 ife childhood, what bttd treatment, what a jump from infancy-to man hood. Both vour systems of tutering are bad, but give me ot the two evils the least one fogyisrn. Hope you will use the “rod* hereafter more effectually than you have in the past. By that means you can dispense of your teas and. patent medioincs, cure finger ache, toe ache, shortness of breath, &c., more successful!. You challenge inves/ tigation,” as to the most practicable rotite for the contemplated railroad. I will sim ply give the facts in the case that needs no argument to sustain them. The distance from Bainbridge via Colquitt and Blakely to Cutbbert, is 68 miles, by the airline 60 miles. Which is cheapest, to build 60 or 68 miles of Railroad. The airline route traverses nearly the centre of the territory between the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers, which route is crossed by only one creek of any importance. Which is the-most remu nerative for a Railroad Cos», to be with* or Without river Competition * The lttiidj.hiVrderitig the airline route* are as good as cad be found anywhere in South- Western Georgia, Consequently the local reights of the road would not be increased by the Blakely route, With these Unqitts* tionable truths before you* l leave the per manent survey to settle the issue. And although it has been said by some that Calhoun county has got no means to put into a railroad, time will acute that difficulty, “Early” will please allow me to call Atten tfcm to the propriety of making CGrTebt quotations. Don’t pervert then the mean ing and intention of a thing where you know -better.

By am Executed-Fei.on Revived by Ei.ec- IkiotTt.—The final prayer was said, the tisu al thanks tendered and greetings given, the cord was adjusted on my neck, I was plac ed on the trap, looking for the last time on familiar objects, the cap was adjusted over my faciv f gti**t heat amend my heart, a fullness of the throat* a slight Weakness of themdsoUw of ray limb* then an involuntary shrinking of the nerves and a catching of bieath as I felt myself fall ing, then .a fefCe, fiery pain shot throng my whole frame, my head seemed bursting and consciousness was gone. Bow long I remained unconscious I do not know, hut when sensibility returned it was entirely mental. The shock of my fall had evidently paralysed the nervous sen sihifities and destroyed the physical capa city of sense but my mental powers were soon resumed in a Wonderful manner, for my earliest rcmemberance of anything was the combination of all the colors of the priarn glowing radiantly before my eyes. Os course I did not see them With my eyes, but I seemed to see them thus* as they glowed, and Waved* aud blended, they sea parated, then reformed themselves in new combination, and danced and laughed with a brilliancy far exceeding the rainbow’s painting or the prism’s, power. This gorgeous scene began to fade away, and my next sensation, was in a sea of light; not the light-bf the Sun, or stich s light as is made by any, chemical combina tions, but light of dazzling, glowing, gloris •ous whiteness and pttrity,-of Which my own mind seems to be a part. I now began to observe my own condition; I knew that my whole body was grown cold and rigid, the only preceptiable warmth being in my heart, and.t wohdersd how long if woufd be before that too would become cold lika the balance, and I should certainly die. 1 even speculated Upoii the pain f should have to endure when that* spot did grow cold—bnt I never Knew. While I thus took note of the physical condition, my mind, with gradually increased power, was fully occupied- Before me in review, and then gathered Ground me, were all the transactions—of good ahd evil—us life there was nothing fprgotten-fnothing ah sent. I Baw them all, knew and recognte* ed them all. Sven minute and insignificajrt circumstances,'which at that time had no impression on me, were now there, ahd 1 become fully aware of the fact that this sentiment being which, animated by the body, would’hot‘die, but live oh, and oh* and on eternally, and eternally surrounds ed by and in com pa u ion ship, with all the transactions of physical life Everlasting life was Us conclusively shown to me as if the spirit that had been dead a thousand years had spoken to the .fact. But how was Ito exist? I knefr that I was not a part of any body; in fact I desired to en tirely Sever the connection frith it and iim patiently waited until the warm spot of ray heart should grow cold. Had 1 been at liberty to accept or reject an offer of return to vitality, I should have rejected it. In vain I applied all the brilliant powers of my purified mind to pierce the future, even to comprehend the present. I recalled my early instructions, and sanght for yufru* fng gulls and crystal gates, but oti the one hand I found no devouring fiends, and on the other 1 saw no gleaming chariots ; I heard neither song of joy nor wailing of woe, nor found any other being than my own. I existed in my former life, and, ho far as I could discover would continue to exist there forever. This Was not desir able, but from it saw no way of escape. I have no idea of the time passed in this condition, but must haVe been all the time by. medical judgment to deprive me of life, for in the midst of my specula* tions I became aware of the removal and kindling of my body. 1 remember I thought they Were about to bury me, and, as t was not dead, I wished to protest against It. i leatbed the idea of being !«*> carcerated in the grate with my body, or having further compaionship with it* I did act know what was being done but I Nfl.t myself, in motion for time ,aud then the motion, ceased; then there Was a suick, sharp, rending, a fearful struggle of the whole physical powers, a Writhing, an anguish far Worse than the anguish of death, and sensibility and senses slowly returned to me; once more my heart Which had never grown cold, throbbed, my vital fonotions were partially reestablished, and again I became btmlched frith the cares, anxietie and sorrows ot life. To me it has been one long sorrow, and, Withont joy or hope, I await the time when I shall once more bathe in that sea of light, cage KO. 10. following good camp story has nol yet, we believe, been honored with a place in General Hill's Haversack, (or "Havoek sack,” as the bbys used to style that fits* tone war bag,) her otherwise get into print: In one erf the first North Carolina regi** ipents, organised for the defence of wnf rights, (see circular of Col.

A ItiUliral lit HarneHi One Andrew d* Rogers, who desertedfrrjnrt the Confederate arhiy and Was condemned to be shot, bnt escaped by accidental loss of the uncial papers, and subsequent to the war followed the career of a general peri - patetic swindler in this State, was arrested in New York some days ago for diddling certain parties out of several thousand doKl lars on the faith of hia alleged extensive real estate at the South. He was taken to Providence, Rhode Island, and from that place it is hoped will find his way to the penitentiary. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel thus relates his last achievement in the South : The next w£ hear of Rogers he had gone on to New in the la tier part of the summer or 1865, taking with him 'forged railroad receipts for a large number of bales of cob ton along the line of the Gulf railroad below . DoCtartown. Arrived with bogus re ceipts he plunged into Wall street, where he goon sold a large amount of* cotton* which he pretended to have receipts for, and transferred the latter to the several purchasers. Getting the money in his pos session he returned to Savannah, accom panied by an agent of the parties to whom he had «ojd the cotton and to whom he was to make the deliveries. A Steamer was duly chartered in Snran* nab to go round tx> Ibu-ien and thetice up the river to Doctortown, whole the coMott was to be brought up by rail and shiped to Savannah. Everything was got ready for the trip—«the steamer fired tip—n number of Invited guest were on board to enjoy the excursion—the champagne arid ice and Cigars were duly stored—the ship's stores all ob board, when Rogers, just as the boat was about to ci*t toos from the wharf, sud denly ascertained that he had left some important papers at the hotel. He would not detain the boat, it could go on, and he with hi* 2 40 horse and fins buggy, would cut across the neck and intercept the boat at thunderbolt, only four miles by while it fras distant by water sixteen or eighteen miles. The boat left and so - did Rodgers When ’ the steamer reached Thunderbolt, Rodgers , whs not there. They waited a couple of hours and then concluded that Rodger might , have been delayed-longer than ho anticipa ted, hud that he would go on across that country and meet the party at Doctortow* V —Thither ; the boat started, but from that day to this. Rodgers has not been found. *• # ft Is needless to say that uo cotton w Whs procured on that trip.
